Your Destiny: You Hold It In Your Hand.

Whatever your needs, desires and goals are, you can think them into your life.

On the contrary, “Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”  ~ George Bernard Shaw

Change can be painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you are not happy.

“There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”  ~ C.S. Lewis

All you need do is to spend every thought you possibly can, seeing the positive, imaging your life the way you want it to be.  There is just not enough room for positive AND negative.  The light makes the darkness disappear.  

So, this week, how about a week of focus every thought possible, on your life as you would have it become.  See it there.  See it in every wonderful detail.  Your thoughts become your life.  It’s an inside job.
​
To your life,

Less Stress, More Life.

​Stress - the way your thoughts make you ill and eventually kill you.

If you don’t make a constant effort to choose thoughts that bring you joy and peace, it is likely your thoughts will focus on the stresses in your life.
I love how Louise Hay says, “Stress is having faith in fear.”  

Indeed, stress is the feeling, the emotion and accompanying physical effects that result from thoughts of frustration, anger, all fearful thoughts.

Yes, it’s constant work, especially at first, as you develop a new habit of declining negative, upset, fearful thoughts.  How about asking your family to say kindly to each other when one is feeling “stress”, “NEGATIVE ALERT!”  That can be a nice reminder to immediately and quickly accept responsibility and change your thoughts, your words.  

When you feel stress, ask yourself, “What is scaring me?”

And, work HARD (because it takes a lot of work,) to think instead, positive, happy thoughts.  It’s easy to fall into negative.  Climb out, dust yourself off and think happy thoughts!

Don’t let stress cause your physical body to become ill.  Negative thoughts increase stress hormones and eventually make you ill, wear you out, take away your good life.

They're your thoughts.  Change ‘em.

To happy thoughts,

Peppermint Candy In My Coffee

​Being grateful for the tiny things which make up the huge reality of our lives, is a wonderful way to live, and it creates an even more spectacular reality.

This morning I feel grateful for 

- Claude having ground and brewed some freshly roasted coffee beans,

- the bit of dark chocolate stirred into the coffee and the tiny peppermint candy cane dropped in,

- the moments of enjoying the aroma, the warmth, the mingled delicious tastes and the company, as we sit together to enjoy our morning cuppa.  

For your morning, you could have your coffee and think of your gratitude for the wonderful day ahead and for the five senses involved in your enjoyment.  
​
Happy coffee, happy day, and love,

Actually, there are countless reasons why a dentist should learn Comprehensive Phase I Orthodontics. Some of those reasons are easy to figure out: With correct diagnosis, it is best for most patients. If you are a general or pediatric dentist, it is highly likely that many of these diagnosable, treatable patients are already in your practice. The third reason... see the video!

Start Late and Still Succeed

You can start late, and be scared, and still succeed!

​But - you’ve got to start.

“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start, to be great!" ~ Zig Ziglar


If you think you’re too late, you’re right (because you won’t start).

If you think it’s too scary, you’re right (because it scares you enough to keep you from starting).

Start.  

Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times before he created the light bulb.

Harland Sanders, at age 65 and facing the sudden loss of his and wife Claudia’s business (the new Interstate ran right over and past the restaurant, stopping customer access to it), began going restaurant to restaurant to see if they needed a great fried chicken cook.  After many “no’s”, he started offering to sell his recipe for his fantastic fried chicken. It is reported that he heard 1009 “no's" before he heard his first "yes". He is now known as Colonel Sanders, and the rest is history.

Start.  It’s never too late.
