Hi
I hope you are doing well. These last two weeks have
really been busy for me. I changed jobs with no time
off in between. And I've been working extra hours.
Hopefully, things will get back to normal soon!
In this issue, I wanted to take some time to talk about how
important your thoughts really are. Your past thoughts
have
brought you what you're experiencing now. Your thoughts
today will create your tomorrow. Thoughts are living things.
They have tremendous powers. Every thought sends out a
vibration. Make all of your thoughts positive and attract the
good that you want. I have included a couple of articles about
thoughts in this issue. Enjoy!
A man's what he thinks about all day long

Every thought we think is creating our future.

The Power of Thoughts
Thoughts are the second strongest power in our life next
to the spirit. Our predominant thoughts influence our
behavior and attitude and control our actions and reactions.
As our thoughts are so are our lives.
This means that it is very important to be careful of the
thoughts that we entertain. Thoughts are like a videocassette
that we play in the VCR of our minds. What we play is
what we see. What we think is what we live.
To make changes it is necessary to eject the videocassette,
and insert a new one that we like better. Then, after a while,
our life will start reflecting our thoughts.
One single thought is not strong enough to cause a change,
but if the same thought is repeated often, then each time
we think it gains strength. Ultimately the subconscious mind
accepts it and acts on it. The great thing about this process
is that we don't need to strain or overexert ourselves.
Everything changes in a most natural way.
Suppose you are shy in the company of people, and
you want to get over it. If you force yourself to talk when in
company, you might find it difficult. You might feel timid and
awkward. You might find it hard to force yourself to talk,
and if you do, you start to stammer. You might find it hard to
get the attention of the people you want to talk to.
You don't have to force yourself to talk when you daydream.
It is quite easy then, as it is only in the mind. Practical
daydreaming is actually using the power of thought. You
can visualize being in the company of other people and
conversing with them calmly and with ease. You can
imagine how the words just flow from your mouth, and how
everyone is paying complete attention to what you say.
It is quite possible to build in the mind a perfect scene
of whatever you want to accomplish. You can put a lot of
detail, color, sound, scent and life into these mental scenes.
If you repeat them often with faith and attention, the
subconscious mind accepts them as real experiences.
It does not differentiate between real and imaginary
experiences, and accepts them both as real.
An experience repeated often turns into a habit. A
habit is an automatic activity that we perform naturally,
without thinking. What does this mean to us? Taking the
above example of a shy person, with constant positive
visualization that person begins to feel at ease when in
company. The continuous visualization has developed
the
habit of feeling comfortable with other people, and of being
able to converse fluently.
There is no need for this person to strain, sweat and feel
inconvenient. It is as if new software has been installed
in his mind. He has developed a new ability without any
inner fight. Well, it does not happen overnight. It needs time,
and depends on how sincere he is, and how much time and
concentration he puts into this action.
This process can be used for changing, improving or
gaining any kind of habit, ability or expertise. The only
effort is mental effort.
This technique is good not only for improving and changing
attitudes and habits. It is good for gaining money and
possession, promotion, improving relationships and traveling.
You have to choose what you want to get, and think about it
often during the day or at several specific times during the
day. These repeated thoughts gain strength and spur you to
take action to realize them.
Other people may perceive your thoughts and unconsciously
fulfill your desire. Constant thinking
about the same subject
causes you to be more acutely aware of opportunities, and
when you see them, you find out that you have the energy
and ambition to make use of them.
Pay attention to your thoughts. They are powerful. Learn to
accept only the thoughts you choose.

Reprogramming Thoughts for Instant Success
by Eva Gregory

Take a guess at the following question. How
much time do you spend thinking about positive
things versus negative things? Also consider the
amount of time spent discussing days that are
less than perfect, spouses who are less than
perfect, and co-workers who are never perfect.
Does it seem like 50-50, 20-80, or 80-20? Did
it make you go hmm? The average person
spends a substantial amount of time discussing
and pondering the negatives that have occurred
over the positives. Can you see the danger that
results from participating in this pastime? Doubt,
fears, negative beliefs, and undermining are a
few to start with. If you've been a victim of
negative focus don't be alarmed, there is hope
through reprogramming.
Manuel and Brooke had known each other for
years. They met just after college when they
shared a minuscule cubicle at their first job,
and thus it began. It seemed that they spent
a great deal of their time together complaining
about the size (or lack there of) of their office,
bad hair days, bad relationships, crazy commutes,
and atrocious vacations. In fact, it almost became
a game to them to try and best each other with
the most pitiful saga. When Brooke was about
to celebrate her thirtieth birthday she called
Manuel and made a date for dinner and DVD's,
as was their customary birthday ritual. Over
an excellent meal cooked by Manuel, a wonderful
wine, and a seemingly endless supply of DVD's,
the two discussed the next decade of their lives.
A little tipsy, Brooke asked Manuel why it was
that they were still single while just about all
of their friends had found mates. Manuel shrugged.
During the next movie she pondered the fact
that each of them had never found a job that
they truly enjoyed, nor had they ever stuck with
a company for more than a year or two. Manuel
simply replied that they'd been hard pressed to
find any jobs, not to mention their "dream jobs."
But, Brooke had gotten Manuel thinking too.
He asked her why it was that they were always
stressed and seemed fatigued and unhappy,
despite decent paychecks, quite a few really
good friends, and numerous dates. Brooke
simply shrugged.
Despite the numerous glasses of wine, when
Brooke woke up she felt invigorated. She had
dreamed her life and things were much different
than the one she was living. She was upbeat,
successful, married, and was even a mother
in her dream. More surprising was that Manuel
was also in her dream, as her husband and was
the father of her children! When she called him
to meet her after work she told him about her
dream. He laughed and was about to shrug it
off, but she was not to be put off. She had had
a glimpse of a vastly different life, one that she
was anxious to embrace and claim as her own.
She sat down with Manuel and told him that she
wanted to de-stress and shed some of the
negativity that was weighing her down, and
asked him to help her. As her best friend,
she asked him to do the same for a one month
period and they would re-evaluate at that time.
When one of them slipped and fell back into old
habits they were to place five dollars into a kitty,
which would go towards their annual vacation.
After a few weeks Manuel and Brooke got into
the habit of meeting more regularly and doing
many more new things. They met less for dinner
and drinks and started being active during their
meetings. They found that activity kept them
from resorting to the old habit of focusing on
the negative. They also found that they really
had a good time together and spent a great deal
of it laughing. The stress that plagued them both
seemed to start abating and things began to gel
for them. At the end of the first month they
decided to continue on for six months. They
both loved the changes that they were seeing,
and were not surprised that their friends and
families were also noticing the differences in each
of them. They began living the life that Brooke had
envisioned in her dream, and neither was ready to
give it up. They had even made a bit of headway
towards their next vacation, but the frequency
of monetary inputs was beginning to seriously
decline.
Brooke and Manuel are just one example of people
caught in a rut, the rut of expending energy on the
wrong thing. Energy drains, time wasters, and poor
planning are all time wasters, but none of them hold
a candle to negativity. Negativity can seep into every
aspect of life and take it over. Brooke and Manuel
finally recognized this, but it took them over a decade
to figure it out. Don't let this happen, and if it has don't
let it go on for another minute. Revamp the thinking
process. Focus on the positive, change your scenery,
change your friends, and be prepared to make
whatever changes are necessary to move you a
full one-hundred and eighty degrees.
By eliminating negative thoughts, focus, and
living from your life it allows you to reclaim and
remold your present. Imagine more stress-free
time to spend with your family, the self-confidence
to get out and meet new people, or the money
that could come from a new promotion. One's
attitude is one's calling card. It's so much easier
to achieve success when one is approachable.
So if you deem it necessary, why not make a
clean sweep of your life and revamp your outlook
even if on a trial basis. Give positive actions,
positive thoughts, and positive companions,
your undivided attention for just a one month
period and I bet that you will be able to tally
more positive occurrences than negative ones.
Please keep a list. As great things happen,
mark them down, and review your list frequently.
My guess is that you'll soon become addicted to
the success that begins flooding your way.
By all means--open those positive floodgates.
You become what you think about.
~Earl Nightingale ~
Thoughts have power; thoughts are energy. And
you can make your world or break it by your own
thinking.
~Susan Taylor ~
"Your mind can only hold one thought at a time.
Make it a positive and constructive one."
~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr.~
You are today where your thoughts have brought
you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
~James Allen ~
