Blissful March 2009, Everyone! When the current state of an economy is bleak, especially as it appears in the United States today, it can be quite challenging to focus on anything else, and particularly to focus on achieving goals for your life. Nevertheless, the fact remains that achieving life goals in 2009 is quite possible; quite achievable. One of my goals is to be an encourager and inspire others to focus on the positive(s), rather than the negative(s). In doing so, I will share information about resources and tools you may choose to utilize to achieve your goals, particularly in 2009.
To facilitate achieving goals, one of the main things everyone needs to do on a regular basis is to think about that which is good, pure, beautiful, healthy, joyful, beneficial, peaceful and blissful; the positive. Negativity is garbage to the mind, body & soul. As many of you may already know this great idea of thinking positively is not new; it is mentioned in the Scripture in Philippians 4:8 KJV.
To think positively, think about things you’ve seen, heard or experienced that match those adjectives I’ve mentioned above and other great ones that come to your mind. Then, do this type of controlled thinking regularly until it becomes natural for you.
The state of your mind, via your words and your thoughts will “flavor” what you say about yourself; your self-esteem is impacted by your thoughts. Your thoughts impact the degree of belief that you have in yourself that you can (or cannot) achieve your goals. Our thoughts impact our self-confidence.
As you begin to recondition your mind to become significantly more positive, you may wish to have a tool to assist yourself. I’ve experienced books (with positive themes, of course) to be great tools for conditioning the mind to positive thoughts. Reading the proper material is a great way to nourish the mind in positivity and get the focus off of the garbage of negativity. Specifically, some of the tools are the Holy Bible (to be read with a prayer for enlightenment and clarity) a great book collection you gather, and two positivity tools, Inspiration and Motivation.
Preparing yourself with a mindset focused on the positive(s) establishes a great foundation to achieve your goals, dreams, and heart’s desires upon. This all follows the saying, “If you think you CAN, you will. If you think you CANNOT, you will not”. It can be that easy to start, the choice is yours. Be a “CAN”!
