The Power of Your Thoughts

Let's start here, because until you can change the way you think, every thing else you try to do will be difficult, challenging, painful and will probably dwindle or fail after awhile.

It is important to get rid of negative mindsets. You cannot think negative thoughts and expect to live a prosperous life. You cannot think failure thoughts and expect to succeed. Your life will follow your thoughts. If you think that you cannot do something, cannot succeed at something, if you are constantly seeing the worst in every situation, you may not realize it, but your own thoughts are going to attract more of the same. You will attract negative friends, negative situations, negative results in your business or at your job. You become a magnet for those negatives to come in to your life.

You will attract exactly what you continually focus on. The thoughts that you have determine the very words that come out of your mouth. Your words are like a beacon to the world. If your thoughts and your words are negative, the beacon sends out negativity and what comes back at you is more negativity.

Now, let’s turn that around. If you think positive thoughts, you speak positive words, your beacon bounces back positive results. We all know that you can NOT speak negative and receive positive results. Understand this: when you think and speak positive, you will receive positive. Yes, there may be negative waves coming at you. After years of negativity, that is to be expected. But, now that you are aligning yourself and being a beacon of positivty, you can turn the negative waves into positive.

I have heard people say, “I never get any breaks. I never have any luck. I can’t do this or that.” Unfortunately, that’s exactly what they get.

Your life will not change until you begin to change the way you think and then, automatically you will change the words you say.

Ever heard the term “speak into existence?” When you think positive thoughts, you begin to speak positive words. When you speak positive words to yourself and people around you, you begin to speak in to existence positivity, light, happiness, prosperity.

Now, if you are reading this, there is a chance that things aren’t going the way you would like them to. Perhaps you are not having success in your personal relationships. Maybe you have been passed over for a promotion or even have been struggling with working more than one job to make ends meet. Maybe you are here because you want to find success in your home based business.

The good news is that it is NEVER too late to make a change. If you are readin this, it is because something deep within you desires to change your current situation. What I have said here tonight is nothing new! It is as old as the Bible. Just look at Colossians 3:2 “Set your mind and keep it set on the higher things.” Simply meaning, set your mind on success, victory and enjoying the day. Choose what kind of day you will have, if you don’t the ENEMY WILL CHOOSE FOR YOU.

You have to start your day, set your mind, right away and choose to have a good day, a prosperous day. Focus on what you can do, what your strengths are and what your potential is. Start expecting prosperity. Walk through your day expecting good things to come your way. See the positive in any given situation. Focus on that instead of what could go wrong.

But, maybe you have never been OPEN to receiving the message before. Or, maybe you had tried it, but it just didn’t work for you. I know that some of you may have experienced negativity most of your lives. Perhaps a parent or teacher spoke it over you. Maybe some of you had friends or co-workers tell you that you weren’t good enough, you didn’t do enough or were in the way. You need to stop dwelling on that.

I felt that way most of my life, believing that my dad didn’t think I was good enough, that my words weren’t worth much, that I was always in the way. I had to stop dwelling on that, I had to stop focusing on that and understand that I was the ONLY person on Earth that could control my life. That once I spoke positivity into existence in my life, that I would attract more of that. I would no longer allow negativity in my mind, in my ears or on my heart. As I walked through subtracting the negatives, I allowed space for more positives. I have to be ruthless, and so do you, on what we allow ourselves to hear, see, read, etc.

If you want prosperity in your life, you must be careful what you feed yourself with. Do you watch movies of encouragement? Do you watch tv shows of success? Do you listen to music that inspires you?

Or do you expose yourself to media types that are delivering a message that is contradictory to the results you want to achieve? Movies, TV shows, Music and books about death, destruction, lies, hate, cheating, failure, scandals?

What you read, hear and write directly imprint your mind, your thoughts and therefore your words, resulting in your reality. As for me, I will NOT watch the news, read the paper or tv shows that are not inspiring, empowering and uplifting. In fact, I spend most of my time reading the Bible, watching children’s television or listening to Christian Worship CDs. Since I have a background in internet marketing, I have also been ruthless in only joining conference calls where I am celebrated, not tolerated. That is what I fill my environment with. Those are the media types that influence my mind, my words and my life.

I hope and pray that you have received the message here. I know that you can achieve the desires of your heart as long as you believe it for yourself. Once you begin to think you can, just like the little choo-choo, you begin to say “I think I can” and YOU WILL.

STEP FORWARD IN FAITH.

"faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1, New International Version).

Step forward in FAITH being sure of what YOU hope for and certain of what YOU do not see!
That applies to the negative or positive.

Think about it. :)
