Every thought is a seed.

If you plant crab apples, don't count on harvesting Golden Delicious.  ~Bill Meyer

It's not who you are that holds you back....

It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not.  ~Attributed to Hanoch McCarty


So who do you think you are not?  Sometimes we are getting the message from others that we are not..........not good enough, not strong enough, not loving enough,  just not enough.  Sometimes we are telling ourselves this story.  

Make a list of your thoughts.   No really make a list, please!!! Just write down 3 things?  And if you don't have 3 things to say that's OK.   We are going to start off with just one anyway.


Once you have your list, look at each word or phrase separately and answer these questions>

Start with one item on your list:
1. How important is it to you to be this ..........?   If it isn't that important to you then let it go.   If it is important to you then move on to the following questions and actions.

2. Ask yourself why is it important?  It is something you want for yourself or it something that someone has told you you should be?  Is it truth or perhaps a story you have been lead to believe.  Do you want to be that person? 

3. If this is something you want for yourself then create a plan for change.  Perhaps you need assistance in making the change or perhaps not. Reach out for help, if you do.  Actually reaching out may be your first step to change.  

Beginning your plan
a. What is your goal?  What do you want to do, be or change?
b. What is one step or action can you take to make that change? Think Baby steps
c. Set a time when you will begin to take that small step.
d. Do it.      
e. Repeat the process. 


4.  And very important NOW MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU ARE..yes all the things you are and believe to be true of you.   Circle all the positive things about you.   There lies your strength.  

If you are going to doubt something, doubt your limits. ~Don Ward

If you are going to doubt something, doubt your limits.  ~Don Ward

Maybe it's hard to believe that you have unlimited power in your life.  But you do…you have the ability to believe, image and create the life you desire.   I'm not saying this is magical..that creating an image in your mind will make it appear before you in real life… but your thoughts do have an overwhelming affect on your body and state of mind…. if you believe in the limits that someone else has placed on you or that you have placed on yourself, then those limits will control every decision, action and effort you make in your life.    Ask yourself…."what do they really know?  How can I be sure?"   Test these limits.  It will take effort, work and time..but you'll be surprised how far you will go. 

You never stop creating brain cells!!

Aging is a process, yet due to new research and developments we are learning that the our old ideas about aging are not totally correct.   Did you know that you are creating new brain cells daily?  This is amazing.  It has been common knowledge that stem cells (from bone marrow) become organ cells in the body, but now we know that those same stem cells also become neurons in the brain...new brain cells.     This is HUGE....You are creating new neurons...the growth of brain cells never stop, therefore you can create new pathways of thinking..."learn, change and grow, think new thoughts, change your mind, create your( the) reality" (Everything you Need to Feel Go(o)d, p.47)
