Be the person you want to attract

"Practice being the kind of person you wish to attract."
Dr. Wayne Dyer

You cannot attract someone or something unless your qualities match their qualities.  If you want a loving person then you must be loving.  If you want a certain type of individual in your life then you have to send out the same vibration to the universe.  Like attracts like.  The old adage "birds of a feather flock together" is true.

If you are in a group or situation where the vibrations are lower than what you want your vibrations to be then get out.  Change the group or situation.

Gravitate toward more compatible people.  Do not be afraid to take that first step.  Join literary groups if you are interested in literature.  Computer clubs if you are interested in computers.  Theater groups if your interest is in the performing arts or behind the scenes.

First find out what you want to attract then start finding groups that share that desire.  When you find the groups you usually find the friends to go with the group.  Then you feed this positive energy to each other.  Discussions become think tanks of positive action and great things can happen from attracting people like you.

Give it a try what have you got to lose?

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

I will attract positive people because I think, feel and act positive.

Have fun in life

"Have fun doing whatever it is that you desire to accomplish...and do it because you love it, not because it is work” Paul Westphal

Whatever your goal is in life, whatever you choose to pursue, have fun while you are doing it.  Sometimes the most boring work can be fun.  Find a way to make the circumstance or work more enjoyable.  Use your creative ideas.  If the work is physically repetitive then use it as a rhythmic form of a workout.  Get a rhythm going and keep it up.  If it is a mentally taxing job take a few minutes break and meditate on something pleasant from time to time or listen to soothing music.

Learn to smile a lot.  When you smile you are signaling the body that you are happy and it responds in like kind and becomes happy.  Try it and see.

Schedule a happy time for yourself.  What hobby do you have that makes you happy?  What groups of people make you happy?  Make a list of what you enjoy doing and schedule it into your life.

Fun equates to happiness.  Positive energy flows from fun and happiness.

Remember you are the co-creator of your life and therefore can create fun and happiness. No one can force you to be unhappy.  The power to be happy and have fun comes from within your own self.

Be absolutely determined to enjoy what you do.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

I will be happy and plan my life so that what I do will be enjoyable to me.

Enthusiasm: A little emotion that will make a big difference in your life

"The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity.  The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty." Winston Churchill

We have all met people who were pessimistic and those people try to spread this poison around to everyone they meet.  It becomes a daily ritual for them to complain about everything from the weather to their health. The more we listen the more negative we feel.

Stay away from those people if at all possible.  If you cannot, then substitute every negative statement with a positive one.  You may just think it in your mind but it is still a defense mechanism against their negativity.  They say it is raining and you think it is good for the garden and lawn.  They say we will all die from our polluted planet and you think it will not be in our lifetime and by then people will be preserving our planet.  They say the world is going to hell in a hand basket and you think there is so much good being done in the world by so many people.  You get the idea.

Really feel within yourself that something good is going to happen to you.

Get up in the morning with the feeling that today is a new day and new opportunities await you.  Eagerly anticipate new things that will be coming into your life soon.

See every event as a chance for happiness, success and a positive action sent by the Universe to improve your life.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

I am eager for all opportunities and will make them into something positive.

Happiness is within

"A person will be just about as happy as they make up their minds to be."  Abraham Lincoln

Have you ever waked up to the mindset that you were depressed and this was going to be a terrible day?

Guess what?  It will be.  You are programming your day to be bad and expecting the outcome to be bad.  You are inviting negative energy into your life and it will come.

All those negative thoughts about how unhappy you are will come to the surface in abundance and as you know the day will get worse and worse.

Stop it now! Reevaluate your day.  Tell yourself that you have a lot to be thankful for and you are going to be happy and no one is going to prevent your happiness.

Tell yourself that you are the master of your destiny and have chosen to be happy.  Then paste a smile on your face and take a few slow deep breaths and feel your composure building up until you feel contentment in spite of your circumstances or surroundings.

If you make up your mind to be happy and smile soon you will feel a happy feeling.  Sadness and depression cannot co-exist with happiness.  Happiness rules.

Practice this exercise every day.  Stand in front of a mirror and smile at yourself and say “I am a spiritual being and deserve to be happy so I will be."  Say it with feeling and look into the mirror into your own eyes and repeat it three times.  You might be amazed.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Everything you need for a happy life is within yourself.

The blueprint of your vision and dreams

"It is never too late to be what you might have become."  George Elliott

Do it now.

People talk about what they should have done or could have been and decry that it is too late to do anything about it.  It is never to late.  You won't regret what you do in life but you will regret what you failed to do.

Follow your vision and your dreams.

"Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are children of your soul-- the blueprints of your ultimate achievements".  Napoleon Hill

We all know what our blueprints in life are.  We have visions and dreams of them.  Deep inside each of us is a feeling that we should have done this or that in our lives.

Why not do it now?  Whatever it is that you have always felt that you should do--then do it now.  There is no better time than the present to fulfill our vision and dreams.  Just open the door a little to test the water.  You might be surprised how other doors will open for you and the feeling of satisfaction of a life well lived and the feeling of contentment in your soul that finally you are doing what you were meant to do.

You are never too old, too encumbered or too restricted to start toward the blueprint of your vision and dreams.

Make the first effort today and keep the efforts up until you see results.  Believe in your ability to do this and start the process.  Send the positive energy into what you are doing and watch it happen.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

The saddest words in life are what might have been.

The making of a golden opportunity

"The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself.  It is not in your environment, it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone." Orison Swett Marden.

The golden opportunity we are always seeking must be provided by our own selves.  We can co-create our future with our attitudes and beliefs.

If we believe that we are going to do something or have something and then we act upon what we believe then we can make our beliefs come true.  We are then co-creating our future.

Act as though you already have whatever it is that you want.  BEHAVE AS THOUGH IT IS ALREADY YOURS.  Feel the confidence and knowingness.  Do not let doubt or fear creep into your mind.  Refuse to allow your mind to think of any negative thoughts. Know that you have the power to cocreate your future.  The future is yours. You want it. You deserve it. You expect it.

Once the positive energy is put into right action and you continue to behave and feel in the manner of having the ability to co-create your future then life suddenly opens up and a whole new world of possibilities awaits you.  You get to pick and choose what you want in your life and you have the ability to make it happen.

" The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will".  Vincent T Lombardi

You must will yourself to co-create and eagerly anticipate the outcome.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

I am the master of my destiny.

Changes in your life

"We must always change, renew and rejuvenate our existence; otherwise we harden."  Goeth.

"Every man is the architect of his own fortune." Appius Claudius Caecus

We must embrace change, renew and rejuvenate our existence. The only thing certain in this life is change.  Nothing remains the same, so let us accept change in our lives and take every unsettling change that we feel threatened by as a challenge to do something greater with our lives.  Each and every day changes do occur.  It is what you do with these changes and how you handle them that shapes your destiny.  Look at a change when it occurs and see how you can turn it into an advantage for you.  How can you use this change to better your life? If you think about it and take action, you can turn any change into an advantage.

Sometimes learning experiences are very painful but if we think about changes in a new light, then we can turn our misfortune into good fortune.

Instead of bemoaning your fate accept it and use it as a stepping stone to future success.  Sometimes just a small change in our thinking is all we need to open our minds.  Then greater, more positive changes can occur.  Make up your mind that today you will use change to alter your path for the better.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Remember the longest journey starts with a single step.

Expect the best

"It is a funny thing about life, if you refuse to accept anything but the best you very often get it".  Summerset Maugham

How many times have we settled for so much less than we deserved?

We set our goals so low that we know that we can achieve them and then feel cheated by life because we were not as successful as we could have been had we tried harder.

Reach higher than you ever have and expect to reach your goals.  See yourself succeeding in reaching your goals and feel the sweet victory of success as you attain your goals.

Make up your mind that you have every component necessary for success.  The difference between failure and success is the simple act of persevering and believing without doubt that you will reach your goals.

However, the Universe is not going to give you what you want while you sit on your couch like a vegetable.  Get up and do something everyday that brings you closer to your goal.  Keep that goal in mind and plan your life around it. Focus on it and keep that energy moving toward that goal.  Keep it in your mind and concentrate on it.  That is why it is called a goal.  Something to strive for.  Try to let every action that you take revolve around helping to achieve this goal.  FEEL IT WITHIN YOUR REACH and believe that goal is going to be reached.  Then you will get what you want.  JUST DO YOUR PART.

Formulate your goal, stay focused on your goal and enjoy the success with gratitude and accept all good things that come with this success.

First you have to set this positive energy in motion by taking action toward your goal.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Ask and believe and you shall receive.
