What do you think about all day?

Quickly rewind your life to yesterday or the day before. What thoughts were swimming through your head? If you could provide one word to describe the overall theme of your thoughts, what word would you use? Might it be fear? Angst? Or was it peaceful, confident, restful?

When you come from a place of anger, scarcity or despair, then the choices you begin to make help fulfill that sentiment. Could you choose instead to think, believe, and do something that would take you closer to the direction you want to go - rather than to perpetuate the current situation that you don't want?

The thoughts (and feelings) that you carry with you will eventually form the words that you use. Believing you CAN’T do something leads you to begin saying things like, “It’s too hard,” or “I’ll never lose this weight,” or “I am always in debt.”

Ultimately, those words will translate into your actions – or inactions. If you think you can’t do something and keep telling yourself you can’t do it, then sure enough, you find subtle ways to keep proving it over and over again. Eventually, you just quit trying. Thus, your actions determine your results.

The good news is that the GOOD thoughts (and feelings) that you carry with you will also eventually form the words that you use – which will also lead to positive actions and positive results.

By approaching a task with thoughts like, “This is easy,” or “I can have fun with this,” you initiate a different chain reaction in the brain, which ultimately produces different results.

The bonus is that once you get the results you want, the cycle starts fresh - but with the new results as the basis for those new thoughts. That's how successful people continue to bring about more success.

What might your life be like if you started with a simple change in the way you think about something?

It all begins with your thoughts.

Only YOU have the power to choose your thoughts. Which path will you take?
