Your Thoughts are Causing Problems for MeThere is a reality that afects all our lives that many people are not aware of. It's simply this: Thoughts are Things. Thoughts are not limited to your mind, operating completely inside your head in some indefinable form - like an electrical impulse bouncing around inside your head with no external connection. Many writers have tried to explain this to us, most recently there is Rhonda Byrne and her little book "The Secret" and Esther and Jerry Hicks creators of the "Abraham-Hicks" programs. But first of all there was Napoleon Hill who, in 1937 published "Think and Grow Rich" after 25 years of research into successful people's lives and psychology. Hill did this at the suggestion of Andrew Carnegie, who refered to these concepts as "the secret few people know". Then there was another great old idea called by Norman Vincent Peale "The Power of Positive Thinking."
All these people were telling us the same thing; thoughts are real things, and they have a physical manifestation in the form of energy or vibration. Anyone who has seen Cesar Millan, The Dog Whisperer, on TV dealing with troubled dogs and solving their problems in minutes, knows his thinking that"energy" as a real thing that is physically transmitted between people, and between people and animals.
Staying positive in these times in our business is really hard, but know this: If you dwell on bad things, have negative thoughts and expectations, believe the worst will happen - that's what will happen, because the energy you generate attracts the same energy from the universe around you. That universe includes other people and their energy and negative or positive thoughts. If, on the other hand, you remain positive about the future, see good outcomes happening and work toward them, put your energy into feeling good instead of feeling bad, then things will work out better as your positive thoughts pick up on others like them in the universe.
As Henry Ford said "Whether you think you can or you can't, either way, you're right" - you make your own outcomes because your thoughts dictate the way you feel, and the way you feel dictates what you do, and what you DO causes your outcomes. Buy any of the books I've mentioned above and begin to train your mind to see great outcomes. My favorite is "Think and Grow Rich" because there are positive action plans in it to help you understand your past thinking and change your outcomes as I am changing mine.
