“Don’t wait.  The time will never be just right.”
Napoleon Hill wrote a little book called, “Think and Grow Rich.”
If you haven’t read it, order or buy it today and read it!
If you have read it, get it out and read it again.
His quote above is only the tip of the JOYOUS learning.

When the Negative Thoughts Come 
– and they will, because they come to all of us,
 – you might try not to dwell on it.
That’s NOT ENOUGH.
Replace it with positive thoughts! 
- and the best types of these are gratitude thoughts.
You could even 'fill in the blank' with the following...
"I am GRATEFUL for _____ today!
It could be ‘my drive to work.’
It could be ‘my parents’ or 'my family.'
It could be ‘my ability to change my life -- and the world -- even more!’
Or it could be ‘This day and its opportunities and challenges.’
Give it some thought. You'll find your own reasons to be grateful.

The universe has frequencies - energies -
They are all around and IN US.
Your thoughts are not ‘heard’ by anybody else
But your thoughts’ energies are evident to others.
Your thoughts are energies,
Your energies translate to your emotions
And 
The universe’s energies respond to your energies,
And give you more of what you think and feel.
Yep.
You see, everything (everything!) has energy. 
And all energy vibrates. 
It vibrates outward, all around you, touching everyone and everything. 
It vibrates out into the universe. 
The universe takes that energy you are emitting and matches it to stuff that will build upon it.
And then it comes back to you.

We get so excited planning for a vacay--
And the packing, the leaving…
We feel excited.  We call it happy.
And after the vacation, it’s gone.  It’s a memory.
We call it wistfulness.
Happy starts with your thinking, your every day activities,
What you tell yourself every day,
Especially about the challenges.
A thought vacay.
Hummmmmmm…..

...your job, your children,
Your husband or wife,
From the traffic
From your health challenges.
Stress comes from your thoughts 
about these things. 
Reset. 
Go to love.
Send love.
Surround yourself with love you are sharing.
And watch the stress disappear.

How often do things not work out the way you wanted,
The way you thought?
Something went wrong?
Nope -
God’s plan is different than ours.
Move along in expectation that you will see
That things went in ways that will change your life
In ways
That are not yet apparent.
You may just be amazed.
The more responsibility you take for your life
Determines 
how many dreams, 
How much change
How fabulous
Your life will be.
Don’t blame anyone.  (That includes yourself).
Go for fabulous.

In times of craziness - like now -
Fear is a normal reaction.
Thoughts race and it’s hard to find the positive ones.
Want to change that?
Change your mindset.
Remember that love is the greatest force in the universe.  
Reset your beliefs through loving.
Love your loves.  Truly.
Love your friends.
And love your strangers in each day.
Your beliefs will stop holding you in negativity.
You can breathe.  
Deeply.
Through love.

You think you can do so very little -
and do you try to do even that?
Do what you can.
And discover how huge it can be -
For you, for the other,
And the other, and the other and the other, and…
​You get the idea.

YOU can be the reason
Somebody feels valued, loved, supported, happy, 
Walking away from you with a spring in their step.
Be the reason today for every single person you meet.
Try it.
Even the drivers in the next lane.  Send love to them.
Allow them to pass if they like.  Smile as they do.
Suddenly their moment is better. 
And SO IS YOURS.
