Gratitude

What is your first thought when you wake each day?

This is an important question. As I’ve touched on before, thoughts become things. One of the most important thoughts of the day is your first one. Why? One word…Momentum.

If thoughts become things, and the first thought leads to the 2nd, and the 2nd to the 3rd, and so on; don’t you think the first thought should be the right one? Me too. So what should the first thought be?

Gratitude.

Start the day of with gratitude. Be thankful for another day, be thankful for a loving family, be thankful for your health, or the ability to change your health by choice. Be thankful that you live in a free country, be thankful that you have a job, be thankful that you have a creative mind that can get you a job.

The point is, if your first thought is a thought of gratitude rather than a thought of stress, then your day will start off with positive momentum. Hopefully you will leverage that momentum to make it a positive day as a whole. Take that positive day and turn it into a positive week, and so on.

Eventually you have a life that you are happy with and everyone around you can see it. Then you become a positive role model and you change their lives for the better.

Gratitude, pass it on.

Mindset Matters

How do you become clear about what you really want in life? The solution is simple, yet the application is something you’ll struggle with daily for the rest of your life.

Here’s what I want you to do …

CHECK YOUR EMOTIONS:

This is the classic
THOUGHTS lead to FEELINGS,
Feelings lead to ACTIONS,
Actions lead to RESULTS.

Knowing what you want is something you need to know and memorize. It works exactly like this:

If your thoughts are constantly on the fact that you’ve lost your nice home in the nice area it was in, or that you went from making a tremendous amount of money each month to a lot less, then your thoughts will spiral downward; creating negative, low-level energy feelings which thereafter lead to self-defeating actions which finally result in a vicious cycle of negative manifestation.

STOP Doing This!

By thoroughly checking your emotions, you ensure that your thoughts are high-level, positive emotions that will result in the effect you WANT. How do you reinforce this? By daily affirmations, a clearly defined purpose, and a clearly defined mission statement. These 3 elements get you going until positive thoughts and emotions become habit. Once they become habit, they become second nature, and you begin manifesting positive results in all situations of your life.
