As we think, so we become
Permalink  
 

We can enrich our interior monologue. We can seek the company of people who inspire us with a loving approach to life. We can absorb the written thoughts of writers who encourage our positive emotions. We can decide to be cheerful and optimistic, just for today.

Whom would you rather be around - someone who chronically complains and talks about what a mess everything is, or someone who finds joy and delight in watching the antics of two squirrels in a tree? You are your constant companion. Your own company can be a pleasure or a drag, depending on the thoughts and feelings you permit to linger in your consciousness.

We take Steps Four and Five in order to sort out our thoughts, getting rid of those that depress our spirit. In Step Ten, we continue a daily mental housecleaning so that residues of resentment and discouragement are not allowed to accumulate. Then we go on to Step Eleven for an infusion of the kind of thinking that nurtures the person we want to become.

Today, I will exercise my freedom of thought

I like that Q-
Its so true for me that if I moan and complain I will def rub off on someone else and bring them down. I see it at work alot.
Tues night was a totally awful day! Not enough help and lots of sick patients. At first my mind was racing thinking: this is BS, it sucks!!!! I'll never make it through the night! But, got an admission: Pt is paralyzed from the neck down....Who am I to complain and moan.....It surely reminded me that I am blessed to be working, wiping my OWN butt and not laying in a hospital bed!!
We all had an awful day but decided to make the best of it! Our day was done and we felt good about it!

Rah, Rah!

All those same lines lies the universal law of attraction, whatever we think or dwell on will become our reality.

Thankyou for sharing The Secret with us, Dean. It's exactly what I needed tonight. Such is the power of attraction. Exactly what recovery is all about. Thanks again Q to both of & all of you for bringing this to my mind. These are the notes I took & will move on with ~

Right Now ~ If I let it

The Secret ~ Feel Good

The Law of Attraction

I am the Creator of My Destiny

Who I am & what I do Begins Now

The New Era & Frontier is My Mind

100% potential is my Education

The more I use the Secret ~
The more I will understand it

~ See myself with the Good I Desire & Deserve
  To be the Best that I can be

Everything I have experienced has prepared me for this ...

Maybe not alot of sense to others but I know what it means :) Thanks for being here with me. May you all always be Blessed & follow your Bliss ~ Danielle x
