Immediate Change

I read something today that really makes sense to me...Mike Brescia (of Think Right Now) sends out email newsletters that are really powerful, so I sent an excerpt of his latest email to my team. I will try to post the entire message soon, but basically, he wondered why nearly everyone alive asks themselves questions like, "Not again! Why does this always happen to me?", and "How will we survive this?" Do you do that? I know I do and have done it a LOT.

There's really no good answer to these types of questions...I suppose that's why we keep asking them!

Why do we shoot ourselves in the foot by asking this negative, "disempowering" type of questions? Would we not do better to ask "HOW can I change this?", "What can I do today to improve this situation/person/relationship?"

These questions are still JUST as honest, but they look at the "half-full glass" of life, rather than seeing only the "half empty glass". By looking for what the options are, we shrink the problem to a manageable size and concentrate on BUILDING ourselves and our lives!

Looking for, and believing in, the opportunities...actually creates MORE opportunities. It moves our thinking off the "bad" into a more positive focus.

Just this little adjustment in "thinking" can elevate your entire life to a more constructive, motivational outlook. You know, there's no guarantees in life, but by focusing on the positive, rather than the negative, you can change your whole being.

There's loads of info about this. Researchers find that there really is another universal law, just like gravity, and it's called "the Law of Attraction". Why bring about more harm than good in your life? As Mike Brescia says, "Eliminating those kinds of thoughts and replacing them with positive, empowering, life-affirming ones is the first step, the middle step and the last step to a successful, happy life".

You can make a considerable, and IMMEDIATE difference in your life...rather than saying, "Why did this happen?", "Why do these things always happen to me?", or "Look at this...why God?"...think "WHAT CAN I DO?", "HOW SHALL I HANDLE THIS?", "WHAT OPPORTUNITY IS HERE FOR ME?" and you'll find that you will indeed, HANDLE IT and have a wonderful opportunity that you never would have seen before!

It's simple...STOP your brain when it asks those negative questions. Change the question to a positive one. LOOK at the possibilities. LISTEN when you get the insight. It's YOUR attitude...
