Using Your Thoughts As An Asset

 Asset: a useful or valuable thing, person, or quality.

It seems that life has become an alternate Universe of sorts with the times we are experiencing. It is so important for our well-being that we use our thoughts for our greater good and so that we can navigate these times and come out whole and happy.

It is so imperative that we take our own well-being seriously and using our thoughts in the best possible way is the foundation for this feeling of health and happiness to take hold.

Remember that your thoughts of the past are just snapshots of what was. They only existed for a short time and then you stored them in your vast memory. 

The way to keep the past making your present joyful and happy you must tap into all the memories that help you to feel the best you can feel. There are so many of those if you just allow them to surface. Take the time to remember everything that has worked out for you, everything that made you feel exuberant, everything that has that warm and fuzzy feel about it. You have so many if you would just let them surface and then embrace them.

I know that we are all challenged right now to find the good in things happening so I would encourage you not to allow the outside world to ruin your everyday feeling of joy. Stop bringing into your thoughts anything that would ruin a good feeling you might have. 

By letting anyone else cause you negative thoughts you are giving up your own power. Your thoughts are what drive you forward so don't give your power away but insist on using your thoughts for your own greater good.

What if:

• You concentrated on everything that is right in your life today even if it is something small.
• You concentrated on a solution instead of a problem.
• You showed kindness to just one person.
• You look for something positive to focus on. 
• You only saw yourself in the most positive light.

When you use your thoughts in this way it changes your outlook and your mindset. It steers you in a direction of not only feeling good but of seeing everything in a more positive light.

Never forget it is you who is the asset to the world, it is you who brings only what you can bring as you are unique and one of a kind.

Trust that when you bring more and more positive thoughts and feelings you are changing the way things happen. Be one of the many lights in our world who believe in being the best asset you can be.

A Kind Thought

 How many times have we seen a person or a situation that the first thought about them or it was unkind?

It is a habit for most of us to be critical first of everything. We have all had to practice long and hard to become so cynical and hard. It makes for the energy around us and around everyone so unhappy.

• What if we all decided to see one good thing about a person around us and let the criticism go?
• What if we looked at situations with a more positive spin on them?
• What if we broke the habit of being so cynical and unkind we heal our bruised hearts?

No one is ever happy that is critical constantly of life and everyone living in it. No person ever moves forward in a positive frame of mind by being cynical.

I challenge you all to break any habit that contains thoughts of being unkind and critical. It will make a difference in your life you won't believe.

Many Blessings to All

Thoughts about Yourself

 There are always two ways to think about ourselves:

We can find fault with everything about ourselves and our life as it is.  

We can focus on the positive things about who we are and what we have accomplished.

I don't know why it is we choose to be so critical of who we are and where we are but for some reason it is human nature to have this habit. It is really up to us to change the way we think about ourselves and our lives.

• What if we chose to make a list of everything we have accomplished?
• What if we focused on our abilities?
• What if we focused on our strong points?

Sometimes it is better if we literally write down all the things that are great about ourselves. Everyone has so many good qualities if we just pay attention to them.

We must let go of the mistakes we feel we have made, the bad choices, the wrong path we may have taken. These are not where are focus should be because we are still going forward and still living so there is something positive about our lives.

Give yourself the credit you deserve and if you need to sit down every day and write down what you have accomplished, what positive things you had happen, and what you as a person excelled at. I am not talking just major things, I am talking about getting chores done, making conversation, being a friend, there are so many things when you start a list that will surprise you about yourself.

Take the time to focus on every positive thing about yourself and your life so that this becomes a great habit to continue.

One Thought After Another

 Our thoughts follow a pattern if you will and when you think about it you will realize this is true.

For instance when you are upset with someone and you are focused on what they did then one thought after another comes forward about all the things they have done to upset you. Those thoughts can flood your mind and before you know it you are angrier than you were in the beginning because you have fueled your anger with so many thoughts of unhappiness.

The same holds true for happy thoughts. When you are focused on a happy time or experience you then have one thought after another of a time or times when you have had the same things happy happen for you.

When we choose our thoughts carefully then we choose our state of mind and how we feel about everything.

• What if when we were angry we stopped and told ourselves this is not how I want to think and feel?
• What if we chose to focus on times in our lives that we were not only happy but content and at ease?
• What if we made the choice to actually change an unhappy thought for a happy one?

You may think you can't do this but believe me you can. You have so many joyful thoughts about your life and your journey that if you choose to zero in on any one of them you can change your thoughts and then by doing that change how you feel for the better.

It is all for your greater good and for the direction you want to take in your life. Make the choice to use your thoughts wisely.
