How Are You Building Your Life?

Published on by Gwendolyn Holmes2 Comments

What masterpiece are you building? Are you erecting a dilapidated shack or a beautiful mansion?

Does the life your living look like the life you envisioned? If it does, I am happy for you. If it doesn’t, I have good news… you’re just ONE thought away from everything changing.

…And you can begin right here, right now.

Here is the truth. The power of our spoken word is one of life’s greatest mysteries. And all that you will ever be or accomplish is connected to the words you speak. But where do your words come from? Have you ever said something out loud and then asked yourself, “where did that come from?” We all have.

Those rapid fire words, phrases and statement come from your thoughts.

Brick by brick we build our lives. You may have heard it said, “your life is the sum total of your thoughts.”  It is true. Each brick represents a thought. Your persisting thoughts are the significant building blocks that determine the quality of your future. Your persisting thoughts are dominant. They run in the background of your personal life program on repeat. 

Pay attention to what you think.

Whatever you think is laying the foundation of your future.

Build a better life! Begin with your thoughts.

How many times have you seen it?

In 1984, at the age of sixteen-years-old, Mary Lou Retton scored the first perfect ten in the history of the United States Olympic team. After her flawless performance on the vault one reporter asked, “How does it feel to have achieved the first perfect ten for the U.S. team?”

Her answer was, “Like it’s always felt!”

The reporter challenged her stating, “But no one has ever done it before!”

Mary Lou’s response was piercing, “I’ve done it thousands of times in my mind.”

Napoleon Hill said it best, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

Mary Lou understood the power of believing… it is to think a thought, until you feel the thought, and now you believe the thought.

Once you believe it… there is no such thing as it being impossible to achieve it.  The only impossibility is that you will not achieve it.

 

Ask yourself this question: What have I done a thousand times in my mind?

Aim: to FOCUS on your dream.  See yourself doing it a thousand times in your mind.

Pay Attention…

Motivation Monday 2.5.2018

This month’s inspiration is FOCUS. Focus begins with a decision.  We either decide to get focused and live the life of our dreams or we choose to meander aimlessly through life.

Pay attention to your thoughts.  Thoughts become actions and actions can shape our lives.

Ask yourself this question: What am I giving my attention to?

Note: Whatever has your attention has your focus.

Aim: to focus your thoughts in the direction of your goals.

Imagination…

 “You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” 

 – Mark Twain

 

…Close your eyes and imagine possibilities.  Imagine bigger, better, fuller, happier life.  Imagine living life on purpose…with purpose!
