Changing the Frequencies of Our Thoughts

Is it possible that different types of thoughts have different frequencies, just like a radio station? I believe the answer to that is that to a degree they do, however it’s not the thoughts that emit a frequency it’s the brainwaves, which are directly controlled by thoughts and emotions. That brainwave frequency is then transmitted into the world, so to speak. Others pick up on the frequency, or vibration, and are attracted to it or repelled by it depending on their frequency at a particular time.

What is fear? Are you scared to overcome it?

Fear - Fear is never in the NOW. Fear is always based on the past, or the future. - You think something bad might happen to you. - You did something bad and you think there might be bad consequences. - If right NOW someone has a gun to your head the fear is not based on right NOW. The fear is based on what could happen soon. The fear is that you are about to get shot and or killed. If the person with the gun was your friend and you knew the gun was empty, and you knew this person would never hurt you then your fear would be diminished greatly.

One Powerful Message to love yourself and your life more

Dear Friend, Do you want to love yourself and your life more? Are you looking for ways to feel good about yourself? I understand that sometimes in life, we may feel not-so-good about ourselves or our lives. At that time, we may keep complaining about all the things that happen in our lives. Sometimes we talk to ourselves in negative ways for many times a day, every day. And as we all know, this does not bring any good things into our lives. Most of the times, it sabotages us instead…

What don’t you know about your life? Are you a super hero?

Hello super human, lets talk for a moment. Think about these thoughts as they relate to you and then we will discover if you really are a super hero, or if you have super hero potential. Your level of wealth does not define you. Your looks don’t define you. Your job, success, house, or favorite football team does not define you. Not even your possible super human strength holds your definition. Many times we look at our lives and we judge, label, or define ourselves by a worldly object such as wealth, beauty, status, etc. However, none of this is really important.

Procrastination - the Killer of Success

Face it, we all put things off. We leave the hard stuff till last and hope that it somehow gets dropped off our "to do" list. We find other things to do that are "more important." It's just amazing how many "emergencies" can pop up to lead us away from taking the action we need towards our goals. Procrastination takes many forms, and all those forms are just ways of avoiding the things we need to or want to do to achieve an end result - success. Why do we do it? Why do we procrastinate? Well, because we view tasks as difficult or unpleasant, of course.

What's Yours is Yours

This morning I received some news that left me feeling as if I’d been kicked in the stomach. Although a misunderstanding occurred, I didn’t know how to fix it. As a matter of fact, in my own strength I couldn’t fix it. I began praying about it and got the notion to call a partner ministry to pray the prayer of agreement with me. I knew what’s mine is mine. I share this with you because sometimes we take the circumstances of life as another bump in the road. We too often succumb to situations as if they are merely a part of living.

Get a Real Job...Did I hear you right?

There seems to be a consistent theme running about. Entrepreneurs especially women are lacking the support from those closest to them. Being told to “Get a Real Job”or “Stop Playing at Business” “Who do YOU think You Are?” or even worse the silent treatment. I am wondering at this point what is a real job anyway now a days? There is no loyalty or security now a days at a “real job”. To make matters worse these entrepreneurs are putting on a face to the rest of the world that everything is great. Burning the candle at both ends will only hurt you in the long run.

Attracting What You Don’t Want?

Let’s begin at the beginning regarding the Law of Attraction: like attracts like. It is pretty much that simple, but for some we question all the “bad” or “ugly” in our lives and think, “I can’t possibly be attracting or wanting this in my life!” And for the most part, you would be right. On a conscious level we don’t call or request bad things to happen to us, but on a deeper, subconscious, soul level there may be a part of you that indeed called these experiences forward.

Don't just think positive - Do positive

Abundance, empowerment, and happiness are often associated with positive thinking. To achieve any of these 3, positive thinking is merely half the battle. Success is not found in thought. Success is found in action. The Law of Attraction in specific, promotes the idea of obtaining anything you can dream of through thought. What is a thought. In short, a thought is a process of the mind. The mind creates an image, which in turn interprets the image into a thought. If a thought fails to come to life, is the thought anything but a dream?

In My Opinion…

We all have ‘em, don’t we? Thoughts and opinions on our government, climate warming, drug companies, religion, the latest fashions, the best TV programs, diets, raising children, hair styles, house colors and whether or not the gal in the next cube is sleeping with the boss. When you get right down to it, we have an opinion on just about anything you can think of… except for the 4 percent of the population who tend to lose this ability during polls or surveys. Hopefully this is only a temporary affliction. Ask seven people if they think Bush was a good… no, wait… bad example.
