Most people do not know what it takes to create the life of their dreams. Once again, they think that they will be happy and have more peace when they get out of debt or meet that special someone. Unfortunately, they keep thinking about what they do not have or do not want, and that becomes the focus of their thoughts. As a result, they end up attracting exactly what they don’t want. As Abraham Lincoln once…..
“Your mental attitude is something you can control outright, and you must use self-discipline until you create a positive attitude—your mental attitude attracts to you everything that makes you what you are.” —Napoleon Hill
We are creating the world around us every day by the way we think, speak, and act. Also, our thoughts and attitudes determine how successful we become. Once we realize that we can create the life we want to live, it is up to us to create happiness, avoid negative thinking, and alter unsatisfactory attitudes. Avoiding negative thoughts is also a sure way to prevent or minimize disturbances or illnesses in the body. All thoughts are first perceived in the…..
The Rabbi story you read earlier is a great reminder of how our attitudes determine our perceptions and ultimately our outcomes. If you are seeking more respect, then show more respect to others. If you are seeking more success, then you must start becoming the person you want to be. This is what is meant by living by the Law of Attraction. You cannot give what you do not have; therefore, it is very important to become more. As the…..
“Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude toward us.” —Earl Nightingale “Life is what you dwell on. If you dwell on negativity, life is negative. If you dwell on the positive, life is positive.” —Terry Orlick
A wise rabbi recently told a story that may hit home for you. A gentleman pulled into a gas station in a new town and said to the attendant, “I am in the process of moving into town. Can you tell me what the people are like here?” The gas station attendant first asked him what the people were like back in his hometown. The man replied that they were rude, unfriendly, and snooty. The gas station…..
In the book The Magic of Thinking Big, author David Schwartz says, “People are measured by their size of thinking.” He follows this with, “How big we think determines the size of our accomplishments.”1 This goes to show us that our thinking can be even more powerful than a college degree, our family connections, or our career status. “The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind.” —Dr. Wayne Dyer…..
Being of service to others. This does not mean take on their responsibilities, or allow yourself to be taken advantage of; rather, it simply means assisting others, often and generously, when it feels right to do so. You will know it is right because you will get that sense of satisfaction and empowerment, unique to the practice of giving for the sake of giving, and serving for the sake of serving. When we leave our egos behind and focus…..
We never overcome challenges by crushing or suppressing them, but by transforming them. Right actions are what set a person on the right path to his or her hoped-for outcome. Our thoughts control how we feel; our feelings determine our actions; and our actions give us our results, good or bad. Put into a formula, it looks like this: Thoughts-Feelings-Actions = Results…..
Jim Rohn, author, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker, illustrated this best when he said, “It is not the blowing of the wind that determines your destination but the set of the sail.” You see, the same winds blow on us all-the winds of change, prosperity, disaster, and failure, to name a few. Therefore, we all have the same opportunity for success. Yet many people use the blowing of the wind as an excuse, which in turn defeats their…..
