Lighten Your Load And Boost Your Momentum

 We think thoughts all day long and sometimes these thoughts cause us great dismay and worry. When you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and nervous it’s important to practice the skill of listening to your thoughts. By doing this you will often discover that what you have been doing, in your thinking, is making the proverbial mountain out of very little…out of the proverbial molehill. When you realize this, you can take immediate steps in your self-talk, you can say something to yourself that will re-proportionalize your description of reality. When you cut the mountain down to size all of a sudden you will more feel powerful and the worry and dismay will shrink.

Life is a Game; Here Are the Rules




The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” These words, written by Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu, are as true today as they were in the 6th century BC. Every undertaking –long or short, simple or complex – starts with action. But what is it that inspires us to get into action and take that all-important first step?
Everything that exists in the visible, tangible world began as an invisible and intangible thought; an inkling . . . a desire. Our desires are intrinsically generative. The moment they are born, they set into motion a creative force that inspires us into action. Once we take that proverbial first step, we feel even more inspired, and each step we take thereafter generates the motivation we need to keep going until we reach our goal. Everything that has ever been or ever will be created follows this same formula: Thoughts generate desires; desire inspires us to action; and action leads to the manifestation of our desires. These are the “rules” of manifestation, and if we follow them, there is literally nothing that is out of our reach.
