Today, I want to write to you my friends.
I want to write to you that we draw everything in our lives to us, and if we want to change our lives, it must begin with our thinking. Obviously, changing our thinking is a real process because sometimes we get ourselves hung up in a quagmire of hurt, disappointment, frustration and anger creating this feeling we can never leave the rut where we have placed ourselves. This is where I want to begin today, helping you to acknowledge inside of you there is so much potential and power, it all comes down to a personal choice of which you have to make.
I have definitely had my share of disappointments in life, to know me and understand the essence of who I am is to experience a person who always perseveres. I do not believe in giving up, people who give up many times stop short of the greatest of opportunities, experiences and relationships, in my book, they are fools. It is better to exhaust all avenues towards striving forward to a dream, rather than to quit. When one quits, they fail themselves and most likely fall short of the greatness that lies within or a greatness to be discovered illuminating their lives.
It is important to realize we are the ones responsible for choosing our own destinies. It is also important to realize we cannot always help the choices of others in our lives. There are some important moments when we must decide to change the direction of our own sails when the ‘wind of opportunities’ have stalled. Sometimes business opportunities cease, relationships end or we face other small and large tragedies, rather than to keep a course where there may be no breeze to carry us to greater destinations, we allow ourselves to remain in the stale water. After a while, we must realize it does us no good to stay there. So we finally choose to change the course of our direction discovering a new wind in our sails, a new breeze to refresh the skin on our face and we look forward to today with confidence, and a new eagerness, and a great hope.
We then decide for ourselves there is a great prospect of a plethora of opportunities. When we believe in a new reality, we set in motion the people, places and events drawing them to us. Sometimes it seems like it takes a long time; the reason is we continue in our ambivalent feelings and thoughts. We really can’t sit on a fence. We have to make a firm decision about our futures, and upon choosing to do so we chase after a new dream and with a firm resolve realize a new reality. It all begins with the picture we paint in our minds, that is why it is so important to be careful of what you think. So my friends, think only positive, optimistic thoughts. Norman Vincent Peale wrote in his book, The Power of Positive Thinking, “A man who is positive and optimistic and undertakes his work with the assurance of success, magnetizes his condition and draws unto himself the creative forces of the universe.”
Today, choose only the best thoughts you can think! You are a magnet, with every thought you think you draw a new condition into your life. You only deserve the best! God only wants you to have the best, so rather than continue down a path of mediocrity filled with hurt and pain, only think of joy, happiness, fulfillment and contentment painting and creating a life of magnificence. You are the one who holds the brush, choose wisely as you dip it into your palette, find the colors that represent the life you really desire. Love, happiness, contentment and self-actualization are only a few thoughts away.
I love you and respect you too much, not to tell you this, and for myself, I too must daily practice and believe. My hope is we can all create great lives of destiny realizing no matter what the remainder of the world thinks or how they want to live, we have made our choices. We are living magnets, so let us choose what we desire. Today, let us attract and believe only the best, and live brilliantly!
