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 |

Eleven years ago today, I grabbed my laptop and sat down at the table on the screened-in porch at my cousin’s house in Western Pennsylvania. We were visiting family back in my parents’ hometown, so I was just planning on doing a little business planning work, as I was in the waiting period for my firm to be approved by Indiana, before we set out to visit family. I logged into my email and saw a message from the Secretary of State’s office, and I immediately opened it. It was at that moment...
I don’t know about you, but I find it crazy that we’re halfway through the year. How’s it going for you? Make sure you take time to appreciate all of the success and good you have experienced this year. It’s easy to focus on what didn’t go right and let negative thoughts and emotions prevail. The energy that you focus on will set the tone for the remainder of the year. You choose. I hope you choose to see the positive. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
