MindSeeds

All you have got to do is plant that seed in your mind, care for it, work steadily toward your goal, and it will become a reality.
~Earl Nightingale
This is also true for shifting your thoughts from being a negative being to a positive being! Work on it one thought at a time. Shift yourself and begin to shift the world!

Purpose equals GLADNESS

Purpose is the place where your deep gladness meets the world's needs.

Power of One

Attitude … and “The Power of One"

Getting the best from yourself and others all starts with one: one thought … one word … one action.

“One” is the first note in orchestrating the personal attitude that shapes and directs your life – and impacts the members of your team. Contrary to the lyrics from a classic rock song, one is not the loneliest number. It’s the most important one!

Your thoughts, words, and actions are like individual notes that work in concert to create the power of one person – YOU – to make a difference. You can harness your “power of one” if you simply:

• Catch one negative thought and turn it into a positive one;
• Think of one thing for which you are grateful at the beginning of each day;
• Say one “Fantastic!” when a friend or team member asks how you are doing;
• Assume the best in one upcoming situation;
• Keep on moving one more time when you experience adversity;
• Help one friend or colleague in a time of need – and take pride in it.

Many people used to feel that one vote in an election couldn’t really make a difference. Well, recent political elections that have been decided by razor thin margins have proven them wrong. A single
act can make a difference … it can create a ripple effect felt many miles and people away. So, ask yourself: What’s one thing I can do today that will make a positive difference in my attitude? Then DO IT!
Repeat that process every day and your life will improve – and so will the lives of the people you lead. Attitudes are truly powerful … and they’re contagious!

As A Man Thinketh

"To live continually in thoughts of ill will, cynicism, suspicion, and envy, is to be confined in a self-made prison hole. But to think well of all, to be cheerful with all, to patiently learn to find the good in all --- such unselfish thoughts are the very portals of heaven; and to dwell day by day in thoughts of peace toward every creature will bring abounding peace to their possessor."

-James Allen

The secret of making something work in your lives is, first of all, the deep desire to make it work; then the faith and belief that it can work; then to hold that clear definite vision in your consciousness and see it working out step by step, without one doubt or disbelief. —Eileen Caddy

Questions to live by...

This morning as I pondered life I came upon some questions to ask myself,
to ask yourself.

*I am my most joyful when...

*I am most @ peace when...

*I feel most balanced when...

To sit and contemplate these answers, will for sure, bring you to a happier space.

Smile, pass it on...

When was the last time you smiled at someone?
