Daily Gratitude: You Have to put pressure on a rag in order to clean something. And it takes more pressure for more embedded grime. It’s no different with us and trying to make change. The more something is embedded (the longer we’ve dealt with it) into our being or soul, the more work it will take to remove (correct) it.

Frequently that’s what deters people from trying to make the changes they want to make. We try for a while and nothing seems to happen. So we give up.

We forget that it takes time…and effort. We also forget that changes can be happening but that we can’t see or feel them. It’s what’s happening under the ground like the seeds that germinate for so long before popping up so they can be seen.

It’s important to just keep working. To not give up when change isn’t immediately apparent. Do you want something to really be clean or just appear clean? Once you decide, then you can remember how much effort you need to apply. Continue to remind yourself of that.

Change will come.

Daily Gratitude: Pay attention to the depth here. Do you want to be miserable or happy?

We can spend a lot of time focusing on the negative things in our life. What happens then? We attract more negative things. Whatever we put our attention onto is what will come back into our life.

If you believe that, then you will know that you want to spend all your time and put all your attention on positive things.

When you look for the positive and look for things you appreciate, your mind naturally focuses on more of the good. And when that happens, there are chemicals in our brains that will help us feel happy.

What good does it do you to put your attention onto negative aspects of your life? Does it improve anything? Does it make you happy to dwell on the negative? No!

What do you want to put your attention on today?

Daily Gratitude: Everything you do is determined by your mind. The following is excepted from a Napoleon Hill book (“Patterns For Inhabiting Success”).

This is the process that your mind goes through when you simply ask “what shall I have to eat?”:

“First, you ask the question, and then your mind scans all the perceived possibilities regarding food.

Second, your mind crosses out all the options you will not entertain. If you’re an omnivore, you have unlimited possibilities. If you’re a carnivore, vegetarian, or vegan, you have fewer options but still plenty to keep you satisfied.

Third, all the available options come to you in the form of a mental picture involving touch, taste, and smell. Your mental picture may even contain the aroma the food has when it’s cooking or the noise when you begin eating.

Fourth, once you have made your selection as to what you want to eat, you do what is necessary to order or prepare it. Once you have eaten, you have fulfilled your goal… the process of creating your life is the same. Your mind guides you to the target.”

Think on this. Print it out. I did. Better yet, get (and read) the book.
