Have you ever said, "But I just can’t help it." Maybe
your words are similar to, "Yeah, that might work for you but
not for me, I need ..." You may even tell yourself, "I okay.
I don't really need to change the way I think. It's just the way I
am." Sound familiar?
The great news is
no one has to settle for these excuses. Just tell yourself I get to change so
my life can be transformed. I get to make new decisions starting today. Here's
another tip, You don't have to settle for anything. Go for what you
want. Just think about it Michael Phelps said he would win 8 golden medals in
the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and as I and the rest of the world
watched. He did exactly that. In spite of those that said how hard it would be
to make it happen. What he would have to do and how great his opponents were.
Even when Serbian-American swimmer Milorad
Čavić caused a minor stir when he said it
would be "good" if Phelps lost. "It'd be good for him if he
loses. It would be nice if historians talk about Michael Phelps winning seven
gold medals and losing the eight to 'some guy.' I'd like to be that guy." Michael
Phelps did not lose sight of what his ultimate goal was. as history would have
it. August 17, 2008. I sat in my living room with my mother cheering
him on as he would his eighth gold medal.
Day 5
The Problem:
Most
of our thinking is habitual. Thousands of thoughts flow through our minds
daily. Then when we had the fact that as we come into contact with others,
our minds are communicating with each other and the vibes go from thousands to
tens of thousands, that is a lot of thoughts. Now add to this that there are
people who are more than eager to bring gossip, bad emotions, bad news and
useless information to you. Well you get the picture.
Now,
listen to this, it takes no effort to think a bad thought. However, on the
other hand it takes much effort to think a good thought. As you start to resist
these bad thought, understand there is a war going on for your mind.
It does not get easier because you have said I am going to do this. It requires
you to force this into a habit. You must be conscious of your
thoughts from this point on.
The Solution:
1.
Stay Active. Don't let your thoughts happen without your knowledge
2.
Have positive quotes, scriptures, sayings, movies, books, songs and most
important people around you
3.
Mediate on good things. Find something you love that makes you smile and
when things are getting hectic begin to mediate on that.
4.
Have a center. Find that one things that centers you. Use your spiritual
connection to God. Understand the power that comes with understanding his will
for your life and his love for you. If you are not a Christian, find something
greater than you that will balance you. Let me tell you there is
nothing better than God for this.
5.
Remember we are eternal beings living in a temporal world. This means, the
world around us will change but we are constant and connected to the source of
life. Remember the seasons change, you get older, but what's important remains
the same.
6.
Negative thoughts do not originate with you. They have a source and
if you change the source you can change the thoughts.
7.
Choose to think!!!
The Benefit:
It
is important to remember once you make the choice to think right, to
think positive and not focus on the negative. It’s not a once in for all
thought and that is it. You never have to worry about it again. It is a daily
active plan to make your thoughts stay positive no matter what comes your way.
The great thing about this is you will be rewarded greatly for it. Those that
are near you will benefit also.
