“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. The more we focus on gratitude, the more things we have to be grateful for.
What are you grateful for today?

Learned Optimism
“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!!!
If you want to learn how, just send me a message or call me at 602-577-2624.

Choose Your Attitude
"The most important thing I can tell you about attitude is that it is a choice. You can choose to be positive or you can choose to be negative. Nobody can force you to be either one. You are totally in charge of your attitude." - Larry Winget
Your attitude is completely up to you, you did know that, right? If so, have you ever said that you "got up on the wrong side of the bed?" If you are saying that or "I'm having a bad hair day," you are allowing something else to affect your attitude. You are not in charge of your attitude. We don't often think about the things that we say...
Action:
Own the words you speak! Realize that the way you speak affects your daily life. Choose to have a good attitude. It is one of the things that YOU CAN CONTROL. That and your thoughts!

In A Great Place
“Instead of placing judgments on where you find yourself, consider the positive possibilities. Instead of extending assumptions out from your limitations, imagine your most treasured dreams extending out from your current situation. ~Ralph Marston
Are you placing judgments on where you find yourself? STOP IT!! RIGHT NOW!! Start to consider the positive aspects of where you are now and stop only looking at the negatives.
Instead of extending your assumptions from your limitations, extend NEW assumptions that are unlimited. See, we often view the world from our limited perspective, rather than from the infinite perspective that it exists in!
Take your dreams and put them to work from this point forward. Don't worry that you haven't done it until now, celebrate the fact that you are doing it now!

Stop viewing the situation from a limited point of view.

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
"Prepare yourself for something wonderful to happen; when you do, it probably will."
Are you prepared for something wonderful to happen to you? No? Why? Are you beat down by life and circumstances? Have you lost hope for things to get better for you?
There’s a lot to be said about self-fulfilling prophecy. Do you remember making that call to the client who you just knew wasn’t going to buy? And did they? I doubt it. But what about that call when you knew that they were going to buy? I bet they did! Whenever you start thinking that good things are going to happen to you, they usually do and by the same token, when you start going down that negative/victim/whoa is me route, what do you get? That’s right, more of the same.
Gary Zukov said "Every intention sets energy into motion. Whether you are conscious of it or not." Do you realize that you are setting energy in motion? Are you conscious of whether it is positive energy or negative energy. You can set negative energy in motion just as easy as setting positive energy in motion. But it is up to you. You decide which energy you are going to set in motion.
Make it positive energy and those around you will thank you for it!

Are You Valuable and Important?
"The more you see yourself as a valuable and important person, the more positive and optimistic you will be. When you consider yourself to be important, you will treat other people as if they are important as well." ~Brian Tracy
Do you see yourself as valuable and important? Why or why not? I know a lot of people will say "I'm valuable, I'm important," but deep down, they don't believe it. If your subconscious doesn't believe it, your conscious mind is just fooling you about believing that you're valuable and important.
Are you positive and optimistic? Are you really? All the time? Most of the time? Some of the time? The more you see yourself as valuable and important, the more positive and optimistic you will be. Don't believe it? Try it for a week and let me know how it went.
When you treat others as valuable and important, they will see you as valuable and important. It's just the things work. You are what you are because of the conscious and subconscious choices you have made and if you aren't who you want to be, you can change it. TODAY! It is your choice to decide, no one else's decision. You are in control...use it wisely!
It's never too late to be who you might have been.

Lift Yourself By Your Thoughts
“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...

"There is absolutely nothing that separates the elite from the paupers except their expectations. If you wish to rise above the masses, then let the fire burn fiercely within you. Do this, and it shall be done!." -- J. Arthur Holcombe
What are you expecting? Are you expecting great things or bad things? Why? Your expectations is what will carry you to everything that you desire! It is the only difference between those who have and those who don't. Those who expect great things, get great things. Those who expect not so great things...well, you get the idea.
I work with business owners and salespeople and I am constantly amazed that when they go to meet a potential client, their expectations are almost always negative. Are you like that? Change that NOW! If you walk into a meeting and you have a negative expectation, LEAVE. Nothing good will come of that meeting...until you change your expectation.
Expectations are a part of us down deep and they are part of what makes our vibrations. If your vibrations are negative, others will pick up on that and become negative as well. Learn to change your vibration so that you are vibrating positively! The world we see is the world that we have created with our expectations and our thoughts. Is that a world that you want to stay in or would you like to change what you are seeing?
To change what you are getting and seeing, change your thoughts and vibrations.

Learned Optimism
“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.
