Switch From Negative To Positive

“People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong... Why not see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?”~Thich Nhat Hanh

Is that you? Dealing too much in the negative? Most people like to think that they are positive people but think about it. How much time do you spend thinking about what you have or can do versus thinking about what you DON'T have and what you CAN"T DO???

Our brains naturally go to the negative and it is a trained mind that can flip that switch from the negative to the positive. Is your mind trained? I hope so. Here's the thing...it's kind of like golf, you can never master it and you need to constantly work on it. t's real easy to drift back to the negative without even realizing it.  Are you constantly working on your positive thinking?  

One way to do that is through gratitude. The more you are grateful, the more things you see to be grateful for.  Melody Beattie said "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more." Wow, how powerful is that?!? It turns what we have into enough, and more!! It is the Law of Attraction at work. The more we focus on gratitude, the more things we have to be grateful for. What are you grateful for today?

You Are The One Who Will Decide Where You'll Go

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the one who'll decide where you'll go."~Dr. Seuss

It's always been your choice...even though you were never really told that. As Dr. Seuss says, "You can steer yourself in any direction you choose." When we were younger, parents and teachers steered us in the direction that they thought best for us...but we really didn't choose it ourselves. Are you still on that same path? How's that working for you??

"You know what you know. And you are the one who'll decide where you'll go." You are the one who'll decide where to go. If the path that you've been on isn't working, why not go in the direction that you want? It's your decision. Don't tell me about why you can't...tell me about why you can! No one else is in control of you, only you control you.

You are in complete control over where you will go and what you will do.  IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN YOUR CHOICE!  
If the path that you are on isn't working for you, look at why it isn't and see if there is another path that you can go down. There's always another choice, another path...you just have to be willing to take that path and make that choice!

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Are You Selling Yourself Short?

"The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short." ~Abraham Maslow

I see this every day. People dragging themselves to jobs they hate because they sell themselves short as to what they really could do. They are stuck in life and afraid to break out. They sell themselves short as to what they could do or accomplish if they only decided to. How many people do you know that are selling themselves short...way too many!

Dr. Seuss said “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” Don't ever let anyone make you believe that you cannot do anything you want to. You can steer yourself in any direction YOU CHOOSE! It's YOUR choice, no one elses.

Stop selling yourself short...NOW!
One way to do that will be to join us Thursday December 18th at the workshop "Goal Getting & Goal Setting; Create Your Success Plan For 2015."  You will learn how to Create Your Success and stop selling yourself short.

Are You Dealing In The Positive Or Negative?

“People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong... Why not see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?”- Thich Nhat Hanh

Is that you? Dealing too much in the negative? Most people like to think that they are positive people but think about it. How much time do you spend thinking about what you have or can do versus thinking about what you DON'T have and what you CAN"T DO??? Our brains naturally go to the negative and it is only a trained mind that can flip that switch from the negative to the positive. Is your mind trained? I hope so.

Here's the thing...it's kind of like golf, you can never master it and you need to constantly work on it. Are you constantly working on your positive thinking?  Not if you are filling your mind with all the things you DON"T want.  That only gets you more of what you don't want.

One way to do that is through gratitude. The more you are grateful, the more things you see to be grateful for? Melody Beattie said "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more." Wow, how powerful is that?!? It turns what we have into enough, and more!! It is the Law of Attraction at work.

You Can Steer Yourself Any Direction You Choose

It's Dr. Seuss Week Again!

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the one who'll decide where you'll go."~Dr. Seuss

"You know what you know. And you are the one who'll decide where you'll go." You are the one who'll decide where to go. If the path that you've been on isn't working, why not go in the direction that you want? It's your decision. Don't tell me about why you can't...tell me about why you can!

Day 5: Dr. Seuss, Thinking

“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!”~Dr. Seuss

"Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!” Do you ever think about what you're thinking about??? Really? It's called Metacognition and we don't do it often enough. We let negative thoughts just flow through our brains without ever stopping them or re-framing them.

How often do you really think during the day? 5, 6 times? More or less? We think that we think, but most jobs rely on you doing the same thing over and over again without thinking. In fact, 96% of your day is run by your subconscious mind. What do you think about that?? When was the last time you thought about doing your job differently? Ever?? 


Imagine if you could be in your conscious mind just a couple of %s more.  How much would you be able to accomplish?  How far would you be able to go?  What could you do with that?

Action:
Today, when you are confronted by a normal challenge, don't solve it the usual way. Think of a better way to deal with it. Who knows? You might create a new way to do things!

It's Dr. Seuss Week! You Choose

The Number Of Times I Succeed


“I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed; and the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep on trying."~Tom Hopkins

I am judged by the number of times I succeed, yes I am judged by the number of times I succeed, not the number of times I have failed. It's so difficult to let the failure go but that's what needs to happen to succeed again. We hold on to our failures much too tightly and much too long. Why do we do that?  We do that because our brains default to the negative!

“Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them – every day begin the task anew.” St. Francis de Sales

Set about remedying those imperfections and every day, begin the task anew. Work on those imperfections a little every day and soon they will be gone. Too often we allow those imperfections to stay with us without us working on them. Sometimes we don't work on them because other people might see them and we couldn't have that or sometimes we get some kind of benefit from the imperfection...

Benjamin Franklin had 12 vices that he wrote about and wanted to work on.  He took each vice and worked on one for a month, until he was able to change it.

"And the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep on trying." Well, plan to keep on trying.
