What's Your Budget?

This is the beginning of a new year and another chance to organize our lives.
One thing that I've learned is that every year I get better and better at managing my money$$$.
Having a budget is having a plan. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Having a plan keeps you out of trouble. For more information click here

Thoughts For The New Year

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost.
For out in the world, you'll find success begins with a person's will.
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before you can ever win the prize.
Many a race is lost, before a step is run.
Many a coward fails, before his work is begun.
Think big and your deeds will grow.
Think small and you'll fall behind.
Think that you can and you will.
It's all in the state of mind.
Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later the person who wins is the one who thinks he can.

Life With Purpose

The Power of Choice.

The power of choice is a gift. A gift given to us at birth. We are born with the ability to choose. In every moment of our lives we have to make choices. "Do I want to do this, that or the other". The opposite of choice is to react. To have a default action to any response one might encounter.

Let's think about it. There's always that person in your life,that you encounter every day, that gets you in a terrible mood. They say the wrong things, they take the last cup of coffee, or your parking spot.

With that in mind, think about those days that your in a great mood. The sun is shinning, birds are chirping and the temperature outside is just right. That same person has no chance in getting you in a bad mood. Why? It's because you CHOOSE to stay in a good mood. Even though our day isn't always as we wish them to be, we still have the CHOICE to CHOOSE. I'm not saying that it's easy. I believe that being aware of it is a great start. If I am aware of the things going on in my mind then I can do something about it.

There was another situation in my life where I found myself passing judgement. I knew nothing about a person but yet I thought I didn't like that person. Was it because they reminded me of someone from the past? One day we ended up talking and I found out we had a lot in common. I'm glad I CHOSE to speak to her and still do. Everywhere that we look there are many reasons to be upset, paranoid, scared or judgmental. Everywhere we look there are reasons to be happy, grateful and appreciative. It's all just a choice away.

Attract It!!

My current life situation is the result of every desire I've ever had. "The Law of Attraction" clearly states that you bring about what you think about. Have you ever had those days that nothing goes right. All that's on your mind is how everything is going to go wrong this day. Much to your surprise everything does go wrong. It's no surprise. You get what you think about. How about those days that nothing could go wrong. Everything seems to work in your favor. It's like the best dream you ever had. YOU BRING ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT!!!
It's incredible how your subconscious works. There was a time in my fiance's life when he smoked on a daily basis for many years. It's the craziest thing that when he quit smoking his subconscious mind played a big part in it. There would be days that he had smoking on his mind and his subconscious mind made sure that his cravings came true and he did whatever was needed to make sure he smoked. He soon understood that he was doing this and reversed his thought process and he made sure that he thought of himself as a nonsmoker. He hasn't smoked since.
Simply put "The Law of Attraction" states that you create your own life. A life by design. I find this to be an incredible bit of information. To think that I don't have to live a regular life. I can actually form and create my life by just changing the way I look at life. By changing my thoughts I have the CHOICE to do whatever I decide is good for my life.
I do a lot of thinking throughout the day. I'm sure we all do the same. So I'm deciding to think of good things. Think of my future as being an entity which I decide the outcome. I'm deciding to fill my life and thoughts with the utmost positive energy. I will watch my words and how I choose to express myself. "The Law of Attraction" is always working diligently to bring you all that you desire. Just make sure that what you desire is straightforward and not mixed up with negative thoughts. If we're going to spend so much time thinking, let's choose to think positively.
Attached is a great movie on the subject. I do not sell, distribute or handle anything that has to do with this movie. I just think that everyone can benefit from it. The Secret

A Must Have

I'm sure that there isn't a day that goes by that I don't ask myself , "What am I doing here?" It used to consist of getting up, going to work, coming home and going to sleep. This can't be the reason why I was put on this earth. Life is too precious not to have purpose. Pupose is what gives me my drive. The knowing that my ultimate goal is attainable gives me pupose. But what is it that stops us? What gets in our path? Is it fear, lazyness,ignorance? For me it used to be FEAR. Fear of rejection, failure,or just being out of my comfort zone. Not many people like being out of thier comfort zone. There's no challenges in the comfort zone. You always know the next step and what the results are going to be. Dreams only come true when we realize that taking risks are an important part of life. If it weren't for people taking risks we would still be living in trees. Smart people take risks everyday. They get out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves with a deep belief of success. We are all capable of success. Of living our dreams. When we put our minds to it there's no saying what we are capable of. That's the tricky part. Our minds are filled with "I can't",and "I don'ts." We need to realize that life is filled with opportunities. Filled with reasons to learn and read. Life is a jouney not a destination. Live well and too the fullest. This is another book that I love.
