How do you talk to yourself?


Do you use the words "can't", "won't", "don't need to", "why try"?Many people do.
Do you find that what you say to yourself turns out to be true?
Why is this?
You see your brain is like a computer that you feed each day. It doesn't know always know what's real or not unless you tell it.
Example: If someone you love has hurt you, you may tell yourself that all people who love you will probably hurt you too.
Your brain just files this information for reference, it's data, little zeroes and ones and no column that asks "true or not true?" Now your brain thinks, based on what you told it, that everyone you'll ever love will hurt you.
How do you think you will respond the next time you get hurt?
Right!!
Now, what if we instead told our brain:
"Okay this person ripped my heart out - but that's only one person. I'm lovable and have many loving people in my life who are not out to hurt me. I know that the right people are coming into my life all the time. If someone hurts me, I will forgive them and bless them on their way."
Words can be empowering.
I canI love toI want toI willI mustI am
We can reach a new level of living, if we feed ourselves empowering words and practice saying them until they become a habit.
I know first hand that it takes time.
And I also know that it's worth it.
Try it for a week.

Self-explanatory


Forget vs Learning


Forget > Learn

The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get the old ones out.

Brain Drain


When land was the productive resource, nations battled over it. The same is happening now for talented people.

Fast-Slow


It used to be that the big ate the small. Now the fast eats the slow.

Self-explanatory


Paradox


The paradox of our time (2)


We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.

We've added years to life not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.

We conquered outer space but not inner space.

We've done larger things, but not better things.

Fun with Names

This is an interesting game which comes true most of the times:
Instructions: What you do is find out what each letter of your name means. Then connect all the meanings and it describes YOU. (It's TRUE!!) PS: If you have double or triple letters, just count the meaning once.

Transformation


At all times and under all circumstances, we have the power to transform the quality of our lives.

Werner Erhard

A Message by George Carlin


The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.

We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

Words


A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, 'The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, 'What?'

Never Between you and them


People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.


If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies; Succeed anyway.


If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you; Be honest and sincere anyway.


What you spend years creating others could destroy overnight; Create anyway.


If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; Be happy anyway.


The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.


Give the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give your best anyway.


In the final analysis,it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.
