Howdy Folks and Good Day!


“Say ‘OUT’ to every negative thought that comes into your mind.  No person, place or thing has any power over you, for you are the only thinker in your mind.  You create your own reality and everyone in it.”

-- © Everyday Positive Thinking by Louise Hay


How many times have you found yourself thinking of something that soon came to pass?

If you’re a positive person, this can be a very good thing, in deedIf you’re a worrier… well…It might be beneficial to take up meditation or another practice for stilling the mind.

All of our thoughts have energy.  This energy gets transmitted into an intelligent universe and organizes accordingly, manifesting the material of our thoughts. 

The more feeling and emotion we generate with our thoughts, the more energy they send out, and the quicker they manifest.  This is why it’s crucial to monitor our thoughts, and the feelings associated with them. 

Are our thoughts positive?  Are our emotions positive?  What about situations we perceive as negative? 

Even the most positive person in the world will face challenging circumstances that can create lower thoughts and emotions.  The important part is to recognize them, acknowledge them, and consciously replace them with more positive, supportive thoughts and feelings.  As Louise Hay says, tell the disempowering thoughts “out!” Fully expect them to obey your command and don’t engage any emotions with them.  Then consciously put more positive thoughts into your mind and generate good feelings. 

Many of current our thoughts are simply unconscious patterns which play over and over again.  While we may never learn to completely stop all of our thoughts on command, we certainly can tune into them and choose to replace them with more productive and beneficial thoughts.  We can frequently and consciously program positive and supportive thoughts which, when practiced enough, become the new thought patterns that repeat over and over again, creating and manifesting the kind of results we’d prefer.

What are you thinking right now?  Is it supporting you?  If you could put any thought into your mind right now, what would it be?  

Congratulations!  You just did it! 

Continue to positively program your Self and your life one thought at a time and have a great day!

With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

Rev. Jeanette

1.      What kind of day will today be? 

The kind of day we make it! 

A little pro-active positive programming can go a long way in creating our heart’s desires.  All of our thoughts have energy.  Energy attracts like energy.  Think about your desires for today. What would you like to experience in the next 24 hours?   Allow yourself to see it manifesting in your mind’s eye and feel it happening in your body so the energy of your thoughts and emotions draws it to you. Affirm it on the lines below!

Today, I desire and experience…

DO YOU CONFUSE ACTIVITY WITH ACCOMPLISHMENT?

From a new post to my Blog . . .

Almost everyone I know is busy.  Heck, even the RETIRED people I know are busy.

It doesn't matter whether you're in business for yourself or work for someone else, you no doubt find your day filled with activity. You may even feel overwhelmed a lot of the time.

But being busy by itself doesn't really amount to much. You can be busy being busy, but not be making much--or any--progress.

I heard it from someone just the other day. They said they worked the entire day in their office. I asked what they did all day, but they really couldn't really tell me.  All they could say was that they made phone calls, handled email, surfed the Web and worked on "various" projects.

But when I asked if any of this generated income--something quite important to this person--they couldn't come up with a single thing which did.

Being busy and working hard may give you some satisfaction, but it's a false sense. The Universe rewards results--not activity.

So what do YOU do? Do you confuse activity with accomplishment?

I hope not.

Do you know the top three most important, high-payoff activities that will contribute to achieving your goals?

I hope so.

If not, I recommend investing some of your "busy time" to determine what those tasks are.

Which ones should you do every day?

Which ones every week?

And if increasing your revenue is important, here's what I suggest: Set yourself an appointment each day for your 3M (3M stands for Maximum Monetization Minutes). This is a period of time each day or week that you devote exclusively for ideating, planning and implementing income-generating activities.

The Pareto Principle--the old 80/20 rule--applies here.

Usually 80 percent of your intended results are created by less than 20% of your efforts. The key is to honestly acknowledge what you need to be working on to create the greatest progress.

I don't know of a better use of your time than to get clear on your highest pay-off activities and then discipline yourself to only work on those.

Here's a list that will help you focus on what those high-priority activities are:

  * revenue generating

  * something very important and must be accomplished

  * something that directly relates to your goals

  * anything you truly can't delegate

Go ahead, make that list. Prioritize your tasks and watch your productivity soar.

It's also a good thing to discuss with your MasterMind Team and/or your staff.

Oh, and if you don't have a Mastermind Team, you can join one in our Diamond Club program.

5.      Sir Froggie’s Pondering — from Sir Froggie

THE GIANT LEAP OF FAITH
COMES
ONE SMALL HOP AT A TIME.

Do you have faith in your Self, God, your family, friends, and humanity?  How strong is it?  How did it get that way?

The giant leap of faith comes one small hop at a time.

Faith can be described as a belief, trust or knowing.  We all have faith however we may not be aware of what we put our faith into.  Those who trust in themselves, a Higher Power, and the goodness of people in general most often get the best results and take the giant leaps which help them soar and accomplish their dreams. 

How do you develop that kind of faith when your experiences have been less than positive?

We build our faith as we build our beliefs or expectations of the world around us; those expectations are created from our past experiences.  Yet our experiences are generated by our expectations!  If we want to change the outcome, we must change our input.  In other words, we have to put our faith in something different, a positive outcome! 

Start small. 

Even the greatest architectural masterpieces and works of art begin at one small starting point, building up one brick, one brush stroke at time.  Wherever you want to increase your faith, challenge yourself to take a small hop of trust toward creating what you want to believe in.  If you want to believe in your Self, set a small goal or challenge and keep at it until you accomplish it.  If you want to believe in God, ask Him to show you signs and be open to receiving them.  If you want to believe in humanity, go to a local charity or organization created to help people.  Prove to yourself that what you want to believe in exists and is possible.

Change your focus.

Miracles, acts of kindness, love, generosity, beauty, and inspiration exist all around us.  Look for them!   Be aware the good things in life are so prevalent they often blend in and go un-noticed.  It’s when things go really wrong that we hear about them on the evening news.  Take a break away from all negative media.  Spend time in nature.  Look for small gestures like someone holding the door, smiling, or saying hello.  Give your co-workers, family and friends a hug.  Read positive books or books which recount miraculous stories.  Look for the good to reinforce your belief it’s there!

Build your Intuition.

Trusting one’s intuition has a tremendous impact on faith.  Tune in to the subtle cues your body, mind and spirit send you.  If something doesn’t feel right, trust it!  Yet if you just “know” you’re meant to take the next step, trust that too.  More importantly, take the step! See what kind of vibes you get from the people you interact with. Ask your Higher Self what it thinks when making decisions. Learn to understand the language of intuition; it’s how God communicates with us!

Connect with faith-filled people.

Spend time with others who have a lot of faith.  Let their faith encourage you and inspire you on your journey.  Avoid nay-sayers until your faith is strong enough to withstand their doubt.   Faith triggers faith.  Fear triggers fear.  Stay in an atmosphere of trusting and believing.

Track your progress.

Keep track of what you put your faith into.  Every time you get confirmation, write it down.  Tell others about it.  Say thank you.  Really pay attention and make a note of when your prayers are answered and needs are met.

Practice makes perfect.

Put your faith to the test.  Practice it every chance you get.  Notice when you come from a place of fear and consciously transmute that fear into faith.  (Note: Fear = false evidence appearing real; Faith = fully active invoking the heavens!)

Gradually increase the size of the hop into a leap.

As your faith increases, take bigger hops.  Then jumps.  And finally that giant leap of faith.  The way to build any muscle is to increase what you’re lifting.  As you being to lift your faith higher, lift yourself higher by making bigger investments in your Self and your dreams. 

Actively applying faith in your life not only gives great results, it creates the proof needed to increase your faith.  Babies are born with blind faith but it gets reprogrammed through the years.  It takes practice and commitment along with tangible evidence that your faith is working to get to a place of complete faith again.  Once you do, life will never be the same!

The giant leap of faith comes one small hop at a time.
