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 |

Sometimes I catch my Self thinking about what I would only do each day if life allowed it… Mindfulness practice Physical activities like yoga, weights, biking, basketball, walking, and maybe running Family time Creative work Client work Networking/Connecting Rest/Sleep Pretty simple. All of these show up in my daily life; however, a lot of other things show up that limit the time I have for these few areas. There is also room for improvement in discipline that would help with allocating more...
This afternoon, I had the opportunity to give another MNDFL talk to the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams at a local high school, and just like my talks this summer, the teens were fully engaged and taking a ton of notes. The coach shared a screenshot of what the team had shared with each other, and I couldn’t help but smile at what they had taken away; many of them made connections on their own that I didn’t share. I thought I’d share what they took away: Mindset separates the good from the...
“Everybody everywhere wanted an end to corruption. They wanted kindness, they wanted community, they wanted democracy, they wanted adequate food, shelter, and health care... institutions they could trust.” - George Kinder Last week, a new episode of the AlignedLife podcast dropped, and it was a special one. A very important influence in my career joined me for a conversation about the possibility of a better civilization—a Golden Civilization. George Kinder was my guest, and if you’re new to...
