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 don’t do this often, but today’s Note is actually an Omen I posted last night. The Omens, which you can find on my website, are meant to be discovered on their own, are only distributed in my Weekly Note, and are more like the blogs I started with when I first started writing. They are meant to be observations and interests of mine. Last night, I wrote one to my Self but feel it might be meaningful to others. Every once in a while, I think to my Self, “Why do I keep doing all of this?” Why...
I’ve struggled to fully understand how the world is a reflection of my Self. I kind of understood it and believed it was true, but I was looking at the statement from the wrong perspective. I have always looked at it as the characteristics of the people I see, or the world I see, are supposed to be similar to or represent me. And while I do think individuals reflect aspects of our Selves that we like and even don’t like, this morning I developed a new understanding of this mirror phenomenon....
Before you can become the version of your Self you desire, you have to first believe you are already that person. At a minimum, you have to believe you are capable of becoming that person, but truthfully, I don’t think that is strong enough. I think you need to actually believe that you are the version of your Self you are before you actually see it. Once you believe, you will naturally begin to draw on that future version of your Self, feeling as you would, doing what you would, and...
