Self-help books are full of the power of positive thinking.
The simple point about it is that if you don’t believe that you deserve something, you won’t get it.
If you can’t convince yourself, how can you possibly expect to convince anyone else?
Being positive might not be enough to make you win, but getting in your own way is certainly enough to make you lose.
There’s a great quote by Marianne Williams:
“Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome talented and fabulous.
Actually who are you not to be?”
You have to believe it in order to do it.
When Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile, on the 6th May 1954, a big part of his “training” was to convince himself he could do it, he ran the race over and over in his head.
Once Roger broke the record, others could see it was possible and 24 other broke the record within a few years
Now it’s no really target at all

What's on my mind
About Me
- Kevin Jackson
- The glasses are important, since I’m almost totally blind in one eye. This means I have zero depth perception. Instead of making snap judgements, I have to think around a subject and look again to try and gain a sense of perspective. And that’s what I’m doing here - taking a different view of the trends and patterns around us to see if they’re as close as they seem, or further away than we thought. There’s not a discipline within the communications mix that I haven’t spent time in – what connects them though, is my passion for igniting advocacy and word-of-mouth. I’ve also worked on multi-platform campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, we are all on first-name terms. Ultimately, whether it’s a consumer, business or internal audience, no one is exempt from my belief in engaging experiential communications. Over the last four years ago, I’ve been busy developing relationships across the telecoms, technology, FMCG, retail and energy sectors, to name a few.
