Your Thoughts Are The Key To Happiness

Unlock Your Mind, Unlock Your Potential


It wasn't too long ago that I was an obese, smoking alcohol abuser.  I didn't have much going in my life and really didn't see too much for my future.  I didn't really concern myself too much with it.  I did what made me feel good and didn't really care about much else.  "Do what makes you happy."  That is a dangerous line of thinking, especially for those of us who like to indulge in the immediate sources of "feel good".

I am all for doing what makes us happy, but what we must realize is we should focus on the long term happiness, not the short term happiness.  If we focus on what makes us happy right now, that is all we will chase.

But, onto the root of the matter.  Our thoughts.  Our thoughts and words have power beyond what we could ever imagine.  Everything we have on this earth that is man made started as a thought.  We have the power to create whatever we want.  We have the power to create our own reality.  We truly do.

Take some time to think today about everything that you have in your life.  At some point it was just a dream in your head.  From the job that you have, maybe the car that you drive, the house that you live in.  At some point you put it in your head that you wanted it and eventually out into the world it came.  Now, imagine if you envisioned more.  We are only limited by what our thoughts limit us to.  I know this sounds kind of out there, but it has been true in my life.  When I thought I wasn't capable of more, I got exactly what I thought I was capable of.  When I lowered my standards of life and thought "This is good enough." that's exactly what I received.  As I started to change my belief system and ask the creator for more, I got more.  When I started to believe I was meant for more and started doing more, more came into my life.

This way of thinking has lead me down the road I am on now.  I went from having no measurable income at one point to grossing nearly 60 thousand last year.  My story isn't even that great.  I know people who went from nothing and in a matter of 5 years are pulling in 6 figures, owning houses, and living their dreams.  It is possible.  People do it all of the time and it all started with a thought.

Change your thoughts, change your life...get to work.

As always, thank you for your time and attention.

Making It Now: 4 Steps to Success

The best time to do anything is right now. Hesitation is one of our biggest enemies in the world of getting things done. For a long time in my life I would put things off until the last minute then scramble to put it together. This can work as some of us work well under pressure, but in my experience a little planning can go a long way. Here are some of my tips on getting things accomplished. Make a list Writing things down takes an idea out of our minds and puts into the real world. This is an important step because ideas without action are simply that..and idea. The first action is to make it real by writing it down. Do it I know I have many lists with things uncrossed. It is very important when you have big goals to break it down into its parts and slowly accomplish them. Big goals can be very daunting. Want to make a million dollars in a year? That seems like an unrealistic goal, but if you could break it down into $2,000 a day, then break that down into selling

Find Someone Who Loves You For Who You Are

It can be very difficult at any age to enter into the dating scene, but it becomes different as we get older with more complications. Personally, I am 35 and once divorced. It was a very difficult journey to get myself to the point where I am now physically, financially, and emotionally. To be able to get myself where I am a whole person not dependent on another to make me whole. In my younger, egocentric mind I would seek out relationships for pleasure. Something to make me whole to give me what I thought I needed. There is a big misconception out there about love. Yes, it can absolutely be this fairy tale thing where 2 people come together to have this bond. But what it should never be is a knight in shining armor coming to rescue another person. This goes for either sex. But this is important to remember. victim + savior = toxic relationship There are plenty of people that will love you for your money. There are plenty of people that will love you f

Being True to Yourself Means Being Fearless

Got integrity? Integrity means doing the right thing or what you believe to be the right thing all of the time. This means you don’t make justifications for your actions when no one is looking. This is hard. “Oh, no one will be the wiser.” This is in part the reason that religion, specifically the all knowing, all seeing God, is not followed as much as it used to be. It gets tiresome. The idea of everything, every thought, every word, and every action has meaning. Someone is keeping tabs all of the time. That’s exhausting, but there are specific rewards you get from being true. You get to be pretty much fearless. When you know in your heart of hearts that you did the right thing given the circumstances, the knowledge, and the tools that you have at your disposal, there is no one that can oppose you. This also means you can see right through people. When lies and deceit do not exist in your life, if they aren’t your practices, you can see right through them. Th
