Thoughts

It's not too late! The best is yet to come. Invest in thought, follow your hunches, and live the life of your dreams. Public disclosure: This offer is irrevocable. You're now an investor whether you know it or not. All of your thoughts will become things. No lawyers can help you. Save yourself; choose the good ones." "Notes from the Universe," by Mike Dooley

If you believe in the power of thought to create the life of your dreams, it doesn't matter what's going on in the economy. So, we should all choose the good thoughts. Maybe the economy would change. Even if it doesn't, our own economy will change!

Put Energy in to Imagining the Best

Go beyond your dissatisfaction with what is, and put your energy into imagining the best of what can be. Clearly know where you wish to go, and you'll naturally make the effort that gets you there. - Ralph Marston

For many, this is not as easy or as simple as it sounds. We may have a lifetime of imagining the worst as a way of protecting ourselves from disappointment. Of course, imagining the worst never works to make our lives better. But it is definitely worth the effort to change our thinking so that we can imagine the best.

More on building strength

If I've changed my schedule so I'm getting enough sleep, I'm ready to look at what else I need to build strength for change. Often, many of us, in this day of over scheduling and over busyness, are undernourished because we don't take the time to provide ourselves with good food. Finding ways to get the nutrition we need is vital to building the life of our dreams. So, the first step must be to go back to the list of things to stop doing, and find something that will free up the time and money for nourishing ourselves. Then, we may need to learn learn what good nutrition is. For good food to happen, we will need to make a plan to provide it for ourselves. The life of our dreams must include lovely food that gives us the energy and joy we deserve.

Deep Inside Us All is Who We Really Are

Maybe we have been taught by the people around us and then by ourselves that we are something other than a beautiful, loveable child of God/Higher Power. But even so, deep inside us is the person we really are, and by taking a little quiet time to search inside for that child of God, we can more easily imagine the life of our dreams. Then we can think lovely thoughts from which will flow loving feelings from which will flow actions that build the life of our dreams.

Building strength

Making change is hard, so we need strength. How do we get it? Well, for starters we can begin by making getting enough sleep a priority. In this day of over work and over scheduling, this change in itself may be a challenge. But if we are sleep deprived, we are going to struggle just in doing daily life, not to mention making a change.
