My grandmother always says:

“Use Your Head For More Than Just A Hat Rack!”

When I was a child I thought that everything she said was funny, now as an adult I understand the wisdom of her words. I make an effort every day to use my head for more than just a hat rack. For years, I was trapped in the confines of my own mind…It feels good to be free and living life abundantly!

Excuses are for losers. Time out for pointing the finger and shifting blame when things go wrong. We were born with everything we need in life. Seriously. We have the power to think, imagine, and create our own destiny.

Our minds are responsible for so much more than we give them credit for.

“As a man thinketh, so is he.”

“I think, therefore I am.”

“You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.“

“Compared to what we ought to be, we are only half awake. We are making use of only a small part of our mental and physical resources.“

Your thoughts…

Your brain…

Your thinking…

Plays a vital role in how you live and experience life. If your current life circumstances are less than favorable, it’s imperative that you understand your own thoughts created whatever mess you are sifting through. You must change your thinking in order to change your life circumstances.

The Bigger The Lie, The More They Believe!

Would you say that this is a true statement? Most of us would like to believe that we are highly intelligent…too smart to be hoodwinked or bamboozled. Perhaps some of us are…However, its the majority of us that counts. Considering this is an election year, this assertion is worth examining because

You can’t change anything by worrying. Worrying will not improve your circumstances. In fact, worrying will only make matters worse. The more you worry, the more your mind wastes energy focusing on problems rather than solutions. Worry causes both mental and physical stress which can result in more problems.

Stop worrying.

The answer to your problems lies in your ability and resolve to be happy no matter what. I know that this may seem easier said than done…But it can be done. So how does one make lemonade when life throws you lemons? It begins with your mind, your faith, and the words that you speak.  Read more... (776 words, estimated 3:06 mins reading time)
