The Story Of My Life What comes out of our mouth is indeed an indication of what's inside our hearts. Many times, what we say is an indication of our core beliefs. Take note of what is coming out of your mouth. If it's not positive, then change your thinking and what comes out of your mouth will follow suit. Then the results in your life will then be what you desire them to be. Are You Too Old Now? Birthday celebrations are interesting aren't they? When you're a child, you look forward to them and they are so much fun. But the older we get, the less we look forward to celebrating another birthday. Why is that? Guess What Happened Today? Each morning when you wake up there are endless possibilities. This could be the greatest day of your life so far! Well, why not? Would you regret it or object if it was? What You See Is What You Get Why do we think that it is just fine and normal to beat ourselves up for our failures and shortcomings, but somehow think that it is egotistical to recognize and acknowledge our successes? I think we've got it all backwards! The Ham Rut Many times, we do things because that's the way we have always done them. We think the way we do now, because that's the way we have always thought. But why? Where Are You Today? Where Will You Be Tomorrow? I heard a statement over thirty years ago that really shocked me, confronted me, and helped me to start thinking logically about my life. Your belief system is what you believe. It is what you accept as right or true. And, most importantly, it is what you will attract into your life. How Do You Define Prosperity? When it comes to your prosperity, you are the only one who can define it. You decide what you want in your life. Don’t pay attention to those who judge you. It is none of their business! One Word Can Change Everything! For many years, successful people have been writing down their goals and affirmations. They then discipline themselves to read those goals or affirmations every day. But what does the word, “because,” have to do with it? Have You Failed? Far too many people look at a set back or a disappointment as a failure and then they just quit. They abandon their dreams, they discard their goals, or they put their plans in a drawer and just quit! You don’t have to! Are you Hanging in There? When you ask someone, “How are you doing?” they often answer back, “Oh, I’m hanging in there.” There are times when we are dealing with challenges. But why would we want to admit that the best that we can do right now is just to “hang in there?” Didn’t God promise a lot more? Why Doesn’t Everyone Succeed? There are people who rationalize that some are made to succeed while others are made to fail. Even if this ludicrous proposition were true, it totally contradicts all the rest of creation. You are designed to be a success machine! Lazy People Blame and Complain! You can be successful. You can reach your goals and dreams. You can have the desires of your heart. Instead of complaining and blaming, turn your focus and energy to pursuing those goals and dream and desires. Get up and take some action. Are You a Statue or a Pigeon? No matter what situation or circumstance you are in today, you don’t have to accept the way things are in your life. Since the dominant thoughts that you carry will build your own personal belief system, the things that you attract into your life really are based on your own personal belief system. Working Hard Does Not Produce Success Working hard does not produce success. There are plenty of people who have worked hard their whole lives who are now struggling to support themselves. Why? Is there something vitally important that is being overlooked or dismissed? Shut Up! Most people do not realize just how powerful their own words are. The truth is your words can change your life. I’m talking specifically about the words you think and speak to yourself about yourself. Sometimes you just have to say, “Shut up!” How to Get the Results You Want! The choices you have made and the actions you have taken have produced the results that you see in your life right now. A lot of people might totally disagree with that statement, but I believe it is very true. Your results are directly produced by the decisions that you have made. Stop Complaining About It! People many times fail to recognize just how detrimental complaining really is. The choice of what to think about is always yours. This choice determines what you will receive. Why Not Dream Big Dreams? Children have lots of big dreams. But it seems that the older we get, the more get talked out of our dreams. Your dreams and your vision are very important because they are yours! Don’t limit yourself to what others think is possible. How Successful People Think Successful people think successful thoughts. They know that entertaining thoughts of failure and defeat is a waste of time. Successful people think of future possibilities, not of past set backs. Your Attitude Is Your Choice The attitude that you have right now, at this very moment, is the one you have chosen to carry around. It is determined by how you think. It is your choice! Who Is Really To Blame? There are people today who have become experts at blaming everyone and everything for their problems. They have mastered “The Blame Method.” Life is not determined by luck or fate. Life is all about choices. It all starts with the thoughts that we choose to think about. Failure Is Not An Option Far too many people live their lives with the fear of failure. Fear will not produce success, only failure. Refuse to be afraid. You can be successful when failure is not an option! It Really Is Up To You Every day we determine your own successes and your own failures. These successes and failures are a direct result of what you choose to think about. You can choose to think weak, defeatist, inferior thoughts or you can choose to think thoughts of greatness and success! It really is up to you! Money Isn’t Everything! Money is not the most important thing there is in life, but, when you think about it honestly, what would your life be without any? Money isn’t everything, but in our day, time, and culture, we certainly do need money! Your Dreams It doesn’t matter what anyone else says or thinks about your dreams. Regardless of the past and regardless of how old you are today, you can still see your dreams fulfilled. The Attitude You Carry What kind of attitude do you carry with you every day? Does it really matter? It matters, a lot. Doors for success or failure are opened and closed by your attitude. Laugh A Little More Laughter is very healthy. Laughter also reduces stress. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of physical benefits to laughter. Opposite Thoughts Your thoughts will truly bring to you courage or discouragement; success or failure; confidence or fear. It is always in your own power to choose which thoughts you will hold in your mind. Changing your thinking is absolutely required if you want to change your circumstances. When My Ship Comes In There are some people who are “waiting for their ship to come in.” They are hoping that someday, somehow, something really wonderful is going to happen that will forever change their life. You Can Change Your Circumstances Change is a natural part of life. That is exciting, because that means you are never really stuck in a rut. You may be in a rut, but you can change and get out of the rut! Don't Save For A Rainy Day! What you focus your mind on, you will bring into your life. That’s why I would never save money for a “rainy day.” Getting Things Done Sometimes with all the things that you need to do right now, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed. How will you get it all accomplished? Where Are My Results? Are you getting the results that you desire in your life? If not, then why not? Where are the results that you were expecting? Poverty What we choose to believe is what we will manifest in our lives. This universal law works with accuracy and precision no matter who the person is and no matter what the circumstances are. Do You Need More Time? Someone once told me that each day we are all given a twenty-four hour suitcase and some people just know how to pack better than others. He was right. At the time, I was not a very good packer! What Do You Want? Most people can quickly name five things that they "want." How many can you name that you "desire?" What's the difference? Does it matter? Fantasy Fantasy is an “imagined event or sequence of mental images, such as a daydream, usually fulfilling a wish or psychological need; an unrealistic or improbable supposition.” Your goals are not a fantasy. Stop Making Excuses! You can choose to consistently pursue after you goals or you can choose to just sit back and go through all the “good excuses” of why those goals just won’t happen for you. Do You Need A Change? If you’re current routine is not bringing you the results that you desire, then it’s time to move out of your comfort zone! If it’s time for a change in your life! Delete! Delete! Delete! There times in life that we really need to delete certain thoughts that “pop up” in our brain. Thoughts that are of no value to us are a waste of time. There are other thoughts that if we allow them to incubate, will negatively affect our lives. Fate You are in life today where you are because of what you have believed and accepted as true. You can change your circumstances by changing your thinking. You can choose to focus on the things that you do desire instead of settling for the way things are now. Waiting In Line Do you get frustrated waiting in slow moving lines? It is pretty hard to avoid waiting in lines these days. Here’s a great solution to keep you from getting stressed out while you wait in line. Are You Clear? What kind of future can you expect? The results that you receive will depend on whatever you are consistently focusing on, either negative or positive. Your future is your choice. Attraction You can change your world, your environment and your situation. Whatever you desire to change in your life starts with the thoughts you put in your mind. Winning the Race There is something in addition to working hard and refusing to give up that separates winners from losers. Those who understand and apply it are winners. You can be a winner! Success One Brick at a Time Are you closer to your goals and dreams today than you were yesterday? Will you be closer to those goals and dreams when you wake up tomorrow morning? It all depends on the action you take everyday towards achieving them. Making Ends Meet You can choose to just settle and make ends meet. Or, you can choose to pursue the things that you desire for your life. Three Simple Steps to Having a Great Day! Did you know that you can make a conscious decision the first thing in the morning to have a great day? Regardless of the challenges and obstacles, you can decide to have a great day. Am I saying that having a good day is a choice? It really is! Lottery Winners Are Broke! There are a lot of people who think that if they could just win the lottery, their whole life would change for the best. They think that once they have all that cash, all their problems will disappear. Why then, are so many lottery winners broke? How to Stay in a Good Mood Have you ever noticed how easy it is for people to be happy, excited, and positive when things go well? At those times, it is easy to be in a good mood. But, can you be in a good mood when things are not going well?
