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 |

“The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.” -Robertson Davies I don’t know about you, but I’ve always thought that my eyes are what see the world in front of me. But the truth is our eyes don’t see anything, they just collect information and feed it to our brain—so it is our brain that actually sees. I don’t know how much our mind shapes the physical world we see—I don’t think we can make a tree appear that isn’t already there. But, I do know the world we see through...
I was revisiting the Watch The Throne album by Jay-Z and Kanye (such a good album—I almost forgot how good it was) and there were a bunch of lines that jumped out to me from the song “New Day”. I often think about how I make sure I help the boys grow into the men they were created to be and help them learn important lessons to make their Pursuits of their Authentic Lives smoother—assuming they aren’t supposed to learn their life lessons through great struggles (this is something I struggle...
“Inner space is the real frontier.” - Gloria Steinem I thought this was a great quote to remind us that even with all of the excitement of the recent shuttle launch to circle the moon, space might be the final frontier, but inner space is the real frontier to explore. And you don’t need to be a billionaire to explore it. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
