    Blog #176 – The Power in Positive Thinking!

    Take control of what you ingest in your mind.

    Be careful about who you hangout with because even your friends can poison you without knowing it.

    Negative thinking can bring you down. This kind of thinking leads you down to a dead end path that goes no where or goes somewhere that no one wants to go. Where your thoughts are control your focus. If you are thinking negatively then you are going to see the negative in every situation.

    Even in the worst possible situations you can think about what good will come out of it.

    Do not make things harder on yourself than they have to be. See the world as conspiring in your favor.

    Blog#174 – “Who are you?”

    You know better than anyone else who you are. You are always right when answering this question because your body and mind will make yourself right. If you say you are a procrastinator then you will procrastinate. If you say you are successful then you will succeed. If you say you are a loser you will find a way to lose.

    People will always make themselves right. Whether you have empowering or disempowering beliefs about who you are, you are always right. If you change these foundations about who you are your life will change with it.

    You are not a subject of your circumstances or your emotions but a choice you can make about who you are. You are not your past. You are not fixed as your current self and your future self has yet to be determined.

    You must decide on who you want to become.

    Blog #173 – Unconditional LOVE

    Who do you show unconditional love to?

    Who shows unconditional love to you?

    These are the real people in your life. The conversations with these people are unlike any other that you would have. The thing is people show love in many different ways. Some people show love by giving people gifts. Some people show love by showering people with compliments. Some people show love by worrying endlessly about the other person. Some people show love by the way the touch the other person. Some people show love by being brutaly honest with people. Some of these ways to show love can be misconstrued by the other person. This is misunderstood because we often forget the first step. The first step is to let them know how much we care about them. If we are on the receiving end of this tough love then we must assume how much the other person cares.

    People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

    Fear is an emotion.

    Definition of emotion

    as strong feeling usually directed toward a specific object and typically accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes in the body

    Webster Dictionary

    There is an uncontrollable reaction in our mind and body to fear. Fear will make us do things that we would not normally do. Fear makes us think things we would not normally think.

    Do not let the throughts of fear paralyze you.

    Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself

    Franklin D. Roosevelt

    Most of what people worry about never happens so why do we worry so much. We worry because it is uncontrollable. Fear bubbles up out of no where and infects our minds. The demons and nightmares in our minds become a reality because we can feel the pain. The mind makes these fears real through our emotions, physiology and behavior. The fear is there so we must acknowledge it. We must see the fear and live with the fear. We must have the strength and courage to be in that uncomfortable place and still take action. Take action in spite of the fear. When our mind is telling us NO! We still move forward because we know that is the right thing to do. Eventually the fear becomes an excitement. We still feel the fear but it does not stop us or paralyze us. The fear encourages us that we are on the right path.

    Now FEAR becomes:

    Blog #171 – Upstream or Downstream?

    Stop trying to paddle upstream. People always say nothing in life is free, hard work pays off in the end, if you don’t work hard then nothing good will happen. You hear this so often that you think pain is the only way to make gains. You try to make things as hard as you can because if it is hard then it must be good. I f you push yourself to the breaking point then it must be worth it. You are paddling upstream and fighting an uphill battle. You are making things unnecessarily hard on yourself. Turn your boat around and go downstream.

    Going with the stream is a much more enjoyable experience. You are inline with your thoughts and feelings. You are in harmony with everything around you. The world and the universe is conspiring in your favor. Stop doubting, worrying and just accept. Things might not go exactly as you planned it and that is ok. Be grateful things are going. Enjoy the journey because that is all there is.

    Everyday you start out with a blank canvas of 24 hours. You can paint stick figures or you can pain the Sistine Chapel. What you do is up to you. It does not matter what you skill level is. The only thing that matters is your vision and determination. How much effort are you willing to put in? If you put in stick figure effort you will get stick figure rewards. Are you truly putting your all into what you are doing or are you just trying to get things done?

    If you put in life change, bigger yourself, Sistine Chapel effort you will get a greater reward. The reward will not just be monetary but also spiritually. You will be proud of yourself on many different levels.

    The reward is not directly proportional to the amount of effort you give. The reward is in proportion to the amount of value you give.

    Everyone has the same 24 hrs in a day. No one has more hours in a day than you. The difference is how people use those hours.

    What is your intention for today?

    How are you going to be better today than you were yesterday?

    Feed you mind new inspirations and information. Remove the old information that does not serve you.

    7 Things to Do:

    1. Be true to yourself.
    2. Help others.
    3. Make each day your masterpiece.
    4. Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.
    5. Make friendship a fine art.
    6. Build a shelter against a rainy day.
    7. Pray for guidance and count and give thanks for your blessings every day.

  • Blog #167 – Mount Rushmore of Influences

    Know who you want to be by the people you look up to. Have a Mount Rushmore of people you admire. These people poses qualities that you wish to obtain. For example if Abraham Lincoln is on your Mount Rushmore of Influences then what about Lincoln do you admire? If it is his honesty then channel Honest Abe when you are in a situation that is hard to tell the truth. What would Abraham Lincoln do? Asking this question gets us out of our own head and makes us think from a different perspective.

    Think and write down 5 people who would be in your Mt. Rushmore. Use these influential people when you get stuck and need more inspiration. Learn and steal from them. Do what they would do. You are the Frankenstein of these influences.
