I received this in an email this morning. Complaining, whinning, griping are so easy to do, and often it’s our first reaction to a bump in our road. Trouble is, it’s not productive and it sets up a roadblock to the things in life you want and dream about it.
Here’s what the Secret says:
From The Secret Daily Teachings
If you are complaining about things in your life, you are on the complaining frequency, and you are not in a position to attract what you want.
Get on to the frequency of good with your thoughts and words. Firstly you will feel good, and secondly you will be on the frequency of receiving more good.
May the joy be with you,
Rhonda Byrne The Secret and The Power… bringing joy to billions
Our brain is the most powerful computer in the Universe.
The Words we say to ourselves consciously and subconsciously determine our lives. We must have a constant vigil of our words. Use positive, re-enforcing, motivating and passionate words to create the life you want.
When we say, “I knew I couldn’t do it”, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. But, when we say, “I know I can do this”, that too is a self-fulfilling prophecy! It’s the same number of words, it takes the same amount of effort to think or say. Which would you rather use?
This is a great quote to help you remember the power of YOUR WORDs:
“Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.”
-Frank Outlaw
As your mother used to tell you, “Watch your words my dear!”
Your words can make you HAPPY, or sad, it’s your choice!
A new vineyard doesn’t produce enough quality grapes to harvest for several years. Like the vineyard, we start young and grow into healthy and productive people. Along the way, we learn habits and develop thinking patterns that hold us back from becoming truly, healthy, happy people with great lives.
Fortunately, the vineyard grower has learned secrets to growing healthy grapes. The same is true for us. There are secrets to getting what we want and using our God given talents and living a Great Life.
1) Forgive yourself. We’ve all done things in the past that weren’t right and are holding us back from being happy. Those things are in the past, now it’s time to leave them behind and be your own best friend. Be nice yourself.
2) Talk nicely to yourself. We all talk to ourselves constantly without even thinking about what we’re saying. Now is the time to monitor your thoughts and self talk and make sure we’re saying things that help and support ourselves instead of being mean to ourselves.
3) Be Healthy. The vineyard grower nurtures his vines making sure they get all the water, nutrients and care they need to become healthy. We have to do the same thing with our mind, body and spirit. When we eat well, exercise, read good books, study and take care of ourselves we are happier and healthier.
4) Love. If we want others to love us, we must first love ourselves, then love those around us, and mankind. We all have conflicts and don’t feel loved. Today’s society is filled with angry people. It helps when we send “good vibes” and love out to everyone around us, those in our family, those we work with, and even the clerk in the store and the stranger walking down the street. A example of how to do this is called Ho-opono-pono. Here’s a link to an overview http://www.hooponoponohelp.com/.
5) Focus. Focus you mind on what you want, not on what you don’t want. When we have a problem we tend to focus on it and that only creates more of it. Our thoughts create our reality. Meaning, if we focus on how mad our spouse or boss is, you will get more of that. If we focus on not having enough money, that’s what we’ll get. Turn your thoughts around. Focus your thoughts on and visualize and feel, what it would be like for your boss to be nice or to have plenty of money to pay all your expenses and see what happens. Your mind is more powerful than any computer in the world and it controls our lives. Put it to good use and think about having what you want rather than what you don’t have. It works, whether on relationships, opportunities or anything else.
Count Your Blessing, Here’s a bonus secret. It’s probably the most important one. Stop and count the blessings you have now and say thank you for them. All of us, no matter where we are have something to be thankful for. When you appreciate and honor what you have other great things will come to you.
As we look at our lives from the solitude and darkness within, to the sunny landscape around us we realize each of us are very different and unique. We all have our own voice and spirit that is unique to us. No one else is exactly like us. As mentioned in my previous post Now Is The Time For Reflection, it’s important to take time, at least once per year, to take some personal, alone time to reflect on where we are now, if we are being true to ourselves and where we want to go in the future.
Even with this uniqueness there are some things that each of us needs, just like others around us. The Starwood Hotels group describes them as the Five Human Truths. They strive to fulfill them each time you are their guest. What is it that all of us need to feel good?
The 5 Human Truths
1) We need to be understood
2) We want to belong
3) We long to feel special
4) We crave more control over our lives
5) We dream of reaching our potential.
When you’re by yourself, reflecting on the future, be sure these basic needs as well as your unique needs are being met. If they are, life will be easier and feel more fulfilled.
