Thoughtful Thursdays #42 Winner
Louise Hay is my idol. Here is some of her wisdom.
I am a natural winner.
As we learn to love ourselves we become powerful. Our love for ourselves moves us from being victims to being winners.
Our love for ourselves attracts to us wonderful experiences. People who feel good about themselves are naturally attracti9ve because they have a n aura about them that is just wonderful. They are always winning at Life. We can be willing to learn to love ourselves. We can be winners too.

Thoughful Thursdays # 41 Communication
Sometimes the best form of communication is silence. It does not mean the absence of thought (which is impossible). Silence allows for enough detachment to see the chatter of the mind and the truth.
When we allow silence we become powerful because eternal truths are revealed. The old worn out untrue stories we tell ourselves are shown for what they are: Lies. Our intuition is present. Silence develops our mental and spiritual power.
Silence in interactions is a powerful tool to cool anger and show you can be trusted. Silence allows for any situation to burn itself out to it’s proper conclusion.
Silence is grounding and perfect. You can expect your mind to rebel and resist. By practicing silence the rebel and resistance goes away long enough for your intuition to emerge.
Try it. Sit quietly in the morning for 10 minutes and be in the moment. If your mind is racing, follow your breath. You will notice a change in yourself and your day. You will be peaceful and clear headed.
Cherish the silence.

Success
Success
It is a sign of wisdom to be able to set goals and then, having done so, to let them go. All that is required for success is a vision of the destination. The journey itself will reveal the means to take you there.

Thoughtful Thursdays #40 When things don’t work out.
Sometimes things just don’t go the way you want them to. I yell and fight, pushy, manipulate and scheme for circumstances to change to be what I want them to be. I try to force my own way into the situation and bring the issue to my own satisfactory conclusion.
The more I battle with what is happening the more I hurt inside. I am making the situation harder and harder for myself and others.
Then I had an epiphany. I was not paying attention to what was happening and thought I was the only one who was right therefore things had to go my way.
I decided to surrender, not in defeat but to let the situation play out by itself without my manipulation. As soon as I stopped struggling against resisting change I became calm. I do what is within my control and let go of everything else including the outcome.
Looks like I just got a big dose of wisdom.
Here’s what I learned and I hope it helps you too.
1. If you have done all you can, do no more.
2. Have patience and let things unravel the way its meant to.
3. The conclusion may not be what you want but it will be for you highest good.
4. Stop struggling with having things your own way.
5. Pick and choose your battles.
6. Step back and see is its really worth the effort.
7. If it’s hard for you to step back give yourself positive self talk.
It’s not always easy to allow the flow of life to move in its own direction. Just know that all will be well.
Happy surrender.

Chains of Prison or Door of Freedom
We must wake up to look at how we think. The chains of prison are thoughts of the past playing over and over in your mind.
To end the prison and enter the door to freedom it is making the choice to think positive. I’m not talking pop culture here when I say positive thinking. I am talking positive self talk. Every time you have Mr. Critic in your head. Say “Not now” or “Stop” or “Thanks for sharing” and continue to feed your mind with positive self talk. This will go into your subconscious and slowly your attitude and life will change.
You will be free and completely confident. What’s better than that.
Give it a try. You will end the chains of prison and walk confidently through the door of freedom.

Thoughtful Thursday #39 Halloween
Halloween is the best day of the year for fun and imagination. Everyone has the chance to dress up and be a creature, superhero, witch, ghost, celebrity or whatever the mind can conjure.
I believe in all things spiritual. I believe in all things magical. I believe in the dark side and the light side. I believe in the power of healing.
Conjuring is about focusing your mind on some outcome. That’s the same as positive thinking and affirmations.
Looks like the ancients had this affirmation thing down to a science. Egyptians had spells for their journey to the underworld. The Tibetan Book of the Dead is a popular read and you can make your own conjure book.
So when you are out there trick or treating and conjuring wishes, please keep them on the positive side because that is all that matters. You wouldn’t want bad magic coming back to you ten fold.
Happy Halloween.

Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction is very popular and it works. The Universe responds to your vibrational desire not your words. Words are the tool that send the desire out.
So keep your desires positive and it will return to you. Don’t expect it to be immediately, have patience.

Want not.
The next time you are waiting for anything, notice what you are wanting. This will be a source of your tension or impatience. All desire has fear built in – fear of not getting or losing, even before your desire is fulfilled.If you want to be free of fear and stress from your life, the secret is to want nothing, and then the magic happens. All that you need and more arrives in your life, at the right time, in the right way.
