What are you thinking about?

Your thoughts control your destiny!

"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values
become your destiny."
- Mahatma Gandhi


We tend to put a much higher premium on action than we do thought.  Though we've all heard the old adage, "it's the thought that counts." Everyone knows that just thinking about something isn't the same as doing it.  Even people who get paid to think have to communicate those thoughts so that someone can act upon them.  

However, your thoughts have more influence on your life than you might think. Yes, without action your thoughts may not be worth much, but in reality, it doesn't take much for your thoughts to become action.

Inevitably, we each become what we think about.  When you think about it in that context, you realize that thoughts are extremely influential.  So you might like to take Gandhi's advice, and keep your thoughts positive!

An authentic life takes courage, combined with making mistakes and taking risks because "the perfect time" is never that clear and waiting is a stall tactic to use when you are afraid of the outcome.  Studies consistently show that when we look back on our lives the most common regrets are not the risks taken, but the ones avoided. Of the many regrets people describe, regrets of inaction far outnumbe

Be careful how you are talking to yourself

Because you are listening. Monday, July 2, 2018 “I am” are two of the smallest, but most powerful words.   What you put after them shapes your reality. Become What You Think Every morning after washing your face and brushing your teeth look yourself in the mirror and ask,  "Why not me ... why can't I be the successful one?  Now. . . talk to your self. Keep your response positive and state out loud, "It can always be me." You are the one driving the bus and directing your future toward success.  Are you making an important sales pitch today?  On the way into work this morning, free your mind of all negative thoughts.  Visualize leading the charge, successfully handling that call and shaking your prospect's hand in agreement.  Rehearse the questions you need to ask and how you are going to listen and respond.  Picture yourself nodding in agreement while making the appropriate sound effects, hmmm, oh or wow!
