Your Future Equals Your Present Actions

"We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act."~Swami Vivekananda

Yes, YOU are responsible for who you are!  Not your parents, not your teachers, not your spouse or significant other.  We are also responsible for whoever we wish to be!  Do you realize that?  You ARE responsible for who you wish to be, how great is that?  It's your choice and it's always been only your choice.

We are now the results of who we have been in the past and so it follows that we can change who we will be by our actions NOW, in the present.  WOW, we can change who we will be by our current actions!  Who do you want to become?  Start now by changing your actions to be that person.  

Ralph Waldo Emerson said "Don't be too squeamish or timid about your actions.  All life is an experiment."  Ya gotta love Waldo.  See, your life is an experiment and you are the one in control, deciding what to do and be!

We have the power to make ourselves whoever we want to be.  Most people say that when they have, they will do and be.  That's wrong!  You need to BE, DO, then HAVE!  Make your present actions all about being who you want to become!

As Great As Your Dominant Aspiration

"Whatever your present environment may be, you will remain, fall or rise with your thoughts, your Vision, your Ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration." ~ James Allen

You will remain, fall or rise with you thoughts. Wow! Think about that! You get to decide to remain, fall or rise, all based on what you think. I know that you know this...but do you believe it and know it without a doubt? Sometimes that's the hard part, we know it intellectually, but can't make it a part of our consciousness.

You will become as small as your controlling desire. What is your controlling desire. Does it really benefit you? Does it allow for your greatness to be seen? Or is it holding you from your greatness?

You will be as great as your dominant aspiration! What's your dominant aspiration? Is it life changing? Is it world changing? Is it something that drives you every day or just something you pull out when people ask you what it is?

It is your choice! You will become as small as your controlling desire or as great as your dominant aspiration. Choose wisely.

It's Not About Positive Thinking

“Learned optimism is not a rediscovery of the ‘power of positive thinking.’... Changing the destructive thing you say to yourself when you experience the setbacks that life deals all of us is the central skill of optimism.”~Martin Seligman

Have you learned optimism or are you just faking it. Learned optimism is the best thing that you could do for yourself and your self-talk. It is not just the power of positive thinking, it is much deeper than that.

Would you like to change the destructive things you say to yourself? Would you hang around a friend/person who talked to you the way you talk to yourself? Think about that for a minute...Would you? I used to until I realized that I didn't need that kind of self talk and I could change my habits of thinking.

The central skill of optimism (not polly-anna ish thoughts) is changing the destructive things we say to ourselves when things go wrong. Try it sometime and see the difference that it makes.

You can change the habit of your thinking, RIGHT NOW!! DO IT!!!

Enlarge Your Life

“We lift ourselves by our thought, we climb upon our vision of ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, always, everywhere - your ideal of what you long to attain - the ideal of health, efficiency, success."~Orison Swett Marden

We lift ourselves by out thought! Think about that. We lift ourselves by our thought. What are you thinking? Is it positive or negative? I hope that it is positive. If it is negative, WHY are you thinking it? I mean really, why spend time thinking negatively? What does it get you? MORE negativity!

Do you want to enlarge your life? What would that look like for you? What would you be, have or do if you enlarged your life? To enlarge your life, you need to enlarge your thinking. Are you ready to do it? Doing it once is easy, even doing it for a day is easy...it's about doing each and every day, without question. You can do it, you just need to commit to doing it.

Hold the ideal of what you long to be. "Fake it till you make it." People say that's not authentic. It is authentic... for your future! Want to know your future? Look at what you are doing today. What you do today will determine who you become. Is that a good thing or do you need to work on it for a while? Are you doing the things that you need to do to become who you want to become?

Lift yourself by your thoughts. It will only cost you changing the way you think. Can you do that? I think so...

What Is Your Next?

"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly." ~Richard Bach

Emerson said that "Few people have an next, they live from hand to mouth without a plan, and are always at the end of their line." Is that you? It doesn't have to be! You can choose right now to have a plan, to put it into action and move forward and see the butterfly!

What is your next?  Are you living hand to mouth without a plan?  Are you always at the end of your rope?  I hate to say this but if you are, it's what you are choosing.  Choose to have a next.  Choose to create a plan.  Choose to climb up that rope to the top!  If you are having trouble seeing how this can happen, message me here and let's talk.

What do you call the end of the world? Is that the extent of what you can see? If so, that's too bad, because for many people, they are destined to lived in that dark, hopeless world, only seeing the bad and never celebrating the good.

Think of the transformation of the caterpillar...He sees its world changing and it going through something, but not really knowing what...Goes to sleep for a while, wakes up and it has WINGS, and is stuck in this sticky place that it must break free of. It struggles and struggles (because there is nothing anyone else can do to help him...might be something to learn there...) and finally breaks FREE!!!

Before, it was limited to crawling along the ground, slowly, with danger all around it...Now, it can FLY! It is free to go wherever it wants to go!!! How could this be reflected in your life?
