YOUR THOUGHTS

"All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve are a direct result of his own thoughts." James Allen

First, except for the words "All" and "man," I like this quote. There is a previous blog discussing words, which you may want to check out. I typically don't use the words all, never and always. I would like to see this quote read -- "What a person achieves and what they fail to achieve are a direct result of their own thoughts." This will reference both men and women.

OK - yet, I like this quote because it is "basically" true. When my own thoughts are prevalent, and negative, I typically know I'm in "trouble." The day could go south fairly quick. That is when I take the initiative to either write them down, check in to see if there is another possibility, check in with the feeling and the emotion, etc. There is a process that I use, which I will share in a later post, or on request.

I have been thinking of a project, and today I did an internet search to get information to get me started. So many possibilities appeared, and I was quickly overwhelmed. Rather than quit, as my mind quickly said, I posted a request for help on an email group that I belong to. I have chosen to wait and use the filter offered with the group. To get ideas and thoughts before I proceed. I have placed the project on my visible to-do list, and each day I will take a step toward accomplishing it.

I will keep my thoughts in a productive, positive, light place as I move through this project. Also, I have created a space to record productive steps. This will provide a visible acknowledgement of the steps that have been taken, and what steps are needed to achieve the desired result. Also, I have added a timeline for the project to be accomplished.

You will know when this project is finished, as it will appear on this blog. There is a learning curve, and I will announce the anticipated arrival by the end of March. Stay tuned, and great job with comments. I'm enjoying and responding, please keep it up!
