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 |

This morning, a close friend shared in a text message that he had been struggling with the word “authenticity”. What did it really mean?Was he always being authentic? He shared that he had finally defined what it meant to him to be authentic, and I have to admit, the realization that he came to was PERFECT. I told him that when I think of the definition of authenticity, it comes down to values. To be authentic, all you have to do is remain true to your Self, which requires doing the work to...
On Thursday, I drove up to Ludington, Michigan, to hike, swim in Lake Michigan, and camp overnight with some friends. The trip up there was over six hours, which gave me the perfect opportunity to listen to The Alchemist on Spotify—it’s the only audiobook I listen to. I wish I could explain the feeling I get when I listen to The Alchemist. The best I can do is say that the book's energy overcomes me and puts me at an extremely elevated level of energy. In my mind, I become Santiago. His...
