Transform Fear....Now!!

"Can you imagine a life with no fear? What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats?"
  ―Max Lucado

Fear is such a huge aspect of all of our lives that it is really tough to imagine a day without some sort of fear surfacing.

It is a shame because normally the things we fear most never even transpire, yet the time spent worrying about something is so large and disproportionate.

Therefore, today's quote about replacing fear with FAITH is so fascinating and exciting to me!

If we can succeed in creating a habit of identifying fearful thoughts and in turn replace them with faith, imagine how much more peace we would have in our lives!

We can do it!!  Resolve to do it today!! 

Key on every thought you can identify that has fear as they appear and and ask yourself what is the worst thing that can happen if that thing did occur.  Chances are no matter what that conclusion is it is not as bad as the fear that accompanies it.

Stop that fear by believing and understanding that we are here to struggle, be challenged, and to battle through tough times, and have FAITH that whatever it is will always pass and you will come out on the other end of it Stronger!!

Stay Strong!!

All we control is our Attitude

"The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude"
   - William James

We struggle every day to control life and life's challenges, yet the fact of the matter is that we control nothing....nothing except how we approach and react to the many events that occur in our lives!

We control our attitudes 100%.

Coaches and teachers will tell you that no matter what they do they cannot control or change someone else's attitude!!

Each person holds that individual key to such a valuable and critical piece of our success, Peace, and joy!!!

If we take the time each morning to really set our daily attitude we will see a major change in what comes into our lives!!!

Sure, it takes work but it becomes a positive habit very quickly and you will notice immediately how powerful this secret that we all possess and control can be!!

Start now!!!  Put aside the past, any failures or disappointments, and the notion that life is hard and out to get us!!! 

We choose our thoughts, where we will put our attentions, time and efforts, and if we choose wisely and make it a habit to choose positive, GREAT things will suddenly appear!!!

Give it a shot.. it is all we control!!!

What do we have to lose??

Stay Strong!!

A brief life.....regardless of how long we are herek

"Remember you have only one soul;
that you have only one death to die;
that you have only one life,
which is short and has to be lived by you alone;
and there is only one glory,
which is eternal.
If you remember this, there will be a GREAT many things about which you care nothing."
    
  - Teresa of Avila

Stay Strong!!!

Habits....Our Choice

"Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging."
- Joseph Campbell

We are truly creatures of habit. 

Our entire lives are driven by the habits we form.

Our success and failures are derived from the habits we develop on a daily business.

If we look at what we spend time on daily, and identify the habits we work on and possess, we can predict the outcomes of our actions very accurately - and how successful our lives can be in all aspects!

The great news is that if we currently possess bad habits, we CAN change them regardless of how long we have been supporting the habit!

We hold the power to change our habits, no matter what they are, today!! 

We are stronger than we may believe and can grab hold of our bad habits and eradicate them if we only decide to do so.

Set your mind today!  Focus on developing good habits and change the bad ones TODAY!!!

Stay Strong!!

Thoughts

"Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts or happenings.

It consist mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever flowing through one's head."
- Mark Twain

The great news here is that we can control and filter this storm of thoughts through practice and effort.

Filter out the negative flow and replace it with the positive!!!

Stay Strong!!

It's never about us

"You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you."
  - Dale Carnegie

A very simple and proven concept to use in all aspects of life!! 

Shift the focus off of our own lives and put it on others and amazing things happen!

Stay Strong!!
