The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.  ~William James

Create your own Miracles..

"Anyone who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realist." ~David Ben-Gurion

Would you consider a scientist a realist?   Yes?  Maybe yes, maybe no.. Scientists look for the proof, the facts, yet they also are the most creative, visionary people in the world.. looking beyond what has been achieved in the past..toward a future they have imagined. What a combination left and right brain functioning in synchronicity.   

Candice Pert, PhD has written about the healing power of words and music.  She says that “what you think can be identified as networks of brain cells that fire together.  The threshold of a neuron firing .. depends on the state of sensitivity of the many thousands of receptors on it’s surface....ion channels.  Each of these canals ..are either open or closed, never in between. Spoken words, just like music vibrate these channels to close or open; thus regulate how often a neural network fires. ...the more often a neuronal network fires together the more the thought pattern is fixed at the cellular level.”*    The more this interaction repeats it’s self the more this thought pattern is engrained and extends to all cells in the body.  The thought either, positive or negative, will create a reality you either want or don’t want...In simple words..your words affect your wellbeing.  Create your own miracles.

When one lets oneself go..

One's suffering disappears when one lets oneself go, when one yields - even to sadness.  

~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Southern Mail, 1929, translated from French by Curtis Cate

If you keep on saying things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of becoming a prophet. ~Isaac Bashevis Singer

If you keep on saying things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of becoming a prophet.  ~Isaac Bashevis Singer

Isn't that a self fulfilling prophecy that people talk about?   Does it really exist?   
I believe so.  The more I read, work and watch my friends and colleagues live their lives, the more I see this to be true.    Everything you think creates the framework for who you are and how you see the world.    You have a choice to see and thus operate in a world that is full of  joy, challenges to be met, possibilities and success*  or you can see the world as defeating, oppressive and worthless.  I’m not saying that life isn’t a challenge, that we never take missteps, that we don’t have to work hard or have a plan..WE DO.. Just know that you can make your life into whatever you truly “believe” it will be.   A Belief is a thought.  What do you think?

"Grains of sand" a roadblock in Life

It isn't the mountains ahead that wear you out, it's the grain of sand in your shoe.  ~Author Unknown

That grain of sand is not any different then the limiting beliefs you may consciously or subconsciously hold in your mind.  Recorded in your mind, whether you realize it or not, is everything that has ever been said, done or occurred to or around you.   Some of this may have been meant for you, some not.   Some may be real, some not.   In any case, these beliefs shape who you are....these beliefs create a framework for what you do....the problem is that these beliefs can be damaging, especially when they are based on childhood events....and you are still listening to and living your life through a child wisdom.   Clear the messages, through forgiveness and EFT.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go.
~Dr. Seuss

Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different. ~Katherine Mansfield

Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different.  ~Katherine Mansfield

You can make a change, but perhaps it's a fear of change that stops people from taking the step to get the help or find the method that will enable them to live a different life.  We are naturally prone to adapting to a pattern and no matter how uncomfortable the pattern (lifestyle) may become, the unknown can be more intimidating.....taking the steps to adjust your point of view will create a new life for you.  "You may not have control over the condition of the world but you do control the condition of your thoughts."  ESC
