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 |

For the last few months, I was practicing yoga at a new studio. The convenience of the studio being less than a mile from my house drew me in, and the owners quickly made me feel welcome. While I had been enjoying the new studio and the instructors I practiced with, I knew that I was missing the style of yoga I had been practicing for a couple of years and at another studio. I tried to convince myself that the convenience was worth not having a class in the style I prefer, a scaled-down...
"Creativity is the residue of time wasted.” - Albert Einstein I’m trying to find more time to be bored. Instead of turning on a podcast while cooking or grabbing a book when I have a few free minutes, I’m focusing on appreciating the lack of stimulation. A little more time with my thoughts. Practicing being the observer of my thoughts. Being more present. Giving my mind a rest. As you can imagine, it’s not as easy as it sounds, but I’m getting better at the practice and enjoying the peace and...
