One Thought!

At any one time you can only focus on ONE thought. So what is that one thought that is occupying your mind right now?
We have thousands of thoughts each day. Every moment there is a thought in your mind. But there is ONLY one thought at a time. What are you thinking about?
Every thought is a prayer. A prayer for what you DO want or what you DON'T want. Each thought triggers an emotion and creates an effect in our life.
We are constantly creating the world around us by our thoughts. What are you focusing your time on? Look around you .... look at the mirror of your life. Your outer life is a reflection of YOU, your inner life. Are your negative thoughts about life, relationships, money, love creating your world?
Today take notice of what you are thinking about, at every moment, become conscious of your thoughts. They are powerful! Use them to your benefit.
This is a process I used on my journey to create a better life for myself:
1. Right now: WHAT AM I THINKING ABOUT?
2. Is this something I DO want or something I DON'T want.
3. If the answer is NO, then change that thought to something you DO want.
(This is done at any moment of the day that you remember until it becomes natural ...and it will!)
Sometimes you find that your mind automatically seems to keep going back to a problem, or you keep thinking of what a person said or did, it consumes your mind.

ANOTHER IDEA if you are constantly having negative thoughts is to fill your mind with someone else's thoughts. I used AUDIOs -the internet is full of powerful thinkers and speakers. Borrow their thoughts, fill your mind with what they are teaching. Powerful! There is always a message there for YOU.
Itunes is a great site that has thousands of free podcasts on inspirational speakers, so that you can listen while you do other mundane activities eg. washing dishes, cooking.... where your mind might wander to problems and negative thoughts.
Do whatever it takes! Become aware of what you think about. You are a powerful creator of your life. But are you creating a life by design or by default? Every thought will move you closer to a NEW LIFE or you can keep thinking about the same old struggles and keep creating the same over and over again.
Enough!
I Believe in You.

Still Living In The Past?


Hey, what happened to you back then? Was it the divorce, abuse, unemployment, were you unloved? How does that story go?
It is OUR story, and some of us hold on to it with all our might. It is who we are. We identify with our story. It is the reason we are where we are, and we feel justified to use our excuses because of our story.
Well, today I am here to tell you that your story is keeping you STUCK! Say your story ONE LAST TIME and then promise yourself that that was then and your present and future is so much more than what someone has done to you. By living in that story you are still giving that person, that situation all your power, still all these years later! What a waste of our time, effort and energy.
You have all the power inside of you to CREATE a new life, a NEW STORY. And the best thing is it starts today! Grab a notebook, a journal, or any paper (start a journal to see your growth) and write down what you would like to create in your life. Write it as if it was 5 years from now. For example, It is 2014 and I am ...... I have travelled to ......I live in .... Write about all areas of your life, your relationships, finance, health, love, family, wealth, your body. Everything! Begin to BELIEVE with all your heart that this new life is possible. It is within your reach. Get excited!
There's 2 choices, we can take action now and purposely create our new life, or we can look back in 5 years and see nothing but more wasted time.
You are an amazing creation of this world. God created you for a purpose. The minute you step into that purpose you will align yourself to all the abundance that surrounds you.
So next time you start your story.... Stop! and choose something better. Choose to change the conversation, even if it is mid-sentence, and begin to share what you propose to do in the future, or what you are grateful for right now.
I Believe in You. Your life, your purpose and your "new story" :)
