we are born with the freedom to choose our thoughts
|
“Each of us is born with the freedom to choose the thoughts that will direct our lives. We choose the path we want to walk down. We have the power to choose what we wish to carry along the way. With that in mind, it would seem to make good sense to choose thoughts that will form positive attitudes and that stress our unlimited potential. Negative thoughts and attitudes weigh us down; they make our journey through life so much more difficult. Every thought we allow into our mind affects the thoughts, feelings, and actions we express. If we hold negative thoughts, our actions are going to be negative, and, in turn, negative results will be returned to us. However, positive thoughts return positive results and life becomes a happy, motivating adventure in which we see ourselves and all others in the true light of what we really are. We suddenly see that each of us is a wonderful, magical, mysterious expression of life. As long as our thoughts remain positive and are grounded in accomplishing the goal in front of us, the progress we make on the path of life will be steady and rewarding.”
- Sir John Templeton, Discovering The Laws of Life (Week 33, Law D)
I hope you choose to continue down the path of positivity, opportunity, and abundance---regardless of outcomes. I’ve said this before, but Templeton was writing about the importance of spirit, mind, body, and money a long time ago—it’s still a mystery to me why no one in finance references his work, his writing never turned up outside of my reading in finance, and that I happened to stumble upon his writings on the Laws of Life. I love reading his work because it gives me more confidence I'm on to something important and meaningful. JC |

I heard something the other day that really grabbed my attention. What if our habits suggest more about how we view our Self than a reflection of our discipline? If we struggle with habits, it’s not that we aren’t disciplined; it’s that somewhere we are not valuing our Self as we should. That made me uncomfortable. It also made me rethink the habits I want to improve and the ones I want to let go of with a new focus. What do your habits suggest? See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
“We are all labeled when we are young, we are all subject to well-intentioned social expectations. We all fall into the rhythm of automatic behavioral patterns, unaware routines, and the suppression of our authentic selves for the sake of fitting in. We limit ourselves so completely that we hardly know what it means to reach our full potential, let alone come close to realizing it. Humans are naturally creative beings – we create every moment of every day. When we create from a place of...
