Many of us just don’t notice when we are sabotaging our happiness by thinking negatively, allowing our thoughts to follow down the dark hole of discontent and sometimes despair.

Do you forget to control your thinking? It is not surprising if you do, as you will have been conditioned to think in the way that you learnt as a child. If your parents or caregivers were worry warts then more than likely you will be too.

However, you are now an adult and can make different choices for yourself. Your happiness is already there, residing in the deepest part of you. It is not something you have to chase after, you already have it. The trick is to access it. The more you learn to tap into your inner store of joy and peace, the more often you will experience these wonderful emotions.

You really can choose which path you allow your thoughts to follow. Thinking is the one activity that you can’t switch off, but you can decide which thoughts to focus upon, and the thoughts to let go of. The first action is making a decision to choose happiness and peace, allowing these feelings to be the bedrock of your daily life.

The second action is to check in on your thought life at regular times throughout your day. The way I do this is to have little notes, on my computer, on the bathroom mirror etc. The note reads:

I am the thinker. I am responsible for the thoughts that I allow my mind to focus on or dismiss.

Obviously, you have to be aware of your thoughts in order to control them. Some of the thoughts that come up are often about upsetting times in your past, or worry about future events. This kind of thought is not serving you well, today. At this moment, this day, your past is gone and is only a memory and the future hasn’t yet happened. Thinking about either is a waste of time, energy and emotion.

It is true that you do have to make future plans or deal with issues, but you don’t have to dwell on them. The more you think about these particular negative thoughts the less wisdom and commonsense you will exhibit in dealing with them. When you allow yourself to be happy and focus on the thoughts that make you happy, then you will receive the wisdom to deal with life’s challenges, naturally.

On a practical basis, when you notice a negative thought arrive, just acknowledge it, and then dismiss it. If you then immediately focus on a happy memory or a perhaps start to work on an activity that you enjoy, you can channel your thoughts into positive and happy directions. Over time this will get easier and easier, and you will learn to do this automatically.

Other tools that you can use to attract more positive feelings are meditation and hypnosis. But really the act of acknowledging the thoughts and taking the positive action each time is all you need. Many of you may feel that you haven’t got the ability to control your thought life, but I assure you that you have. Many thoughts that just pop into your mind aren’t real, and you don’t have to accept them. You can challenge them and change them in any way you want. You are the thinker. You are responsible and in control.

You cannot escape the results of your thoughts. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration. James Allen

Thought, like all potent weapons, is exceedingly dangerous if mishandled. Clear thinking is therefore desirable not only in order to develop the full potentialities of the mind, but also to avoid disaster. Giles St. Aubyn

"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world." Buddha

Sowing & Reaping

The law of sowing and reaping governs all areas of your life. Obviously you cannot expect to grow flowers or vegetables in your garden unless you sow seed, and it is the same in everything else. Every day you are sowing ideas, discipline, effort and determination, and by doing this you are sowing for success.

Truthfully, the farmer doesn't just plant his crop and then wait for the harvest, without any further effort. Each day he has to weed, water, scare off birds and generally take care of the seeds he has sown. This is the effort he sows into his crop. You achieve success in the same way as the farmer, sowing your resources, time and effort. It is a fact that every one of the small actions that you take from the moment you wake up until the time you go to sleep are forming your future.

You can only work one day at a time, so it is important to use this day productively. You can only live in this moment, and can only sow those seeds today, as you consciously decide the crop you want to create for tomorrow.

Everyone's a Salesperson

By Brian Tracy

I often ask my seminar attendees, "How many people here are in sales?" It's interesting to watch how people respond to that question. There are always a few people who will raise a hand at first, and then another hand goes up, and then another, and soon perhaps half the people in the room have a hand up, even though they may be in fields such as management, administration, finance and accounting.

I then smile and ask again, "Now, how many people here are really in sales?" At this point, virtually every person in the room has raised a hand. We all smile at the realization that each of us is in the business of selling every single day.

From the time you get up in the morning until the time you go to bed at night, you are negotiating, communicating, persuading, and influencing -- trying to get people to cooperate with you to accomplish the things that you want them to accomplish. So the pivotal question with regard to selling is not if you are doing it, but if you are good at it.

All top executives are excellent salespeople. All effective parents are wonderful salespeople. All effective employees use sales techniques to get their coworkers and bosses to go along with them and to cooperate with them in getting the job done. Everyone who is effective in virtually any area of life that involves other people is an excellent salesperson of some kind.

Unfortunately, over the years, a stigma has grown up around the selling profession. Many people feel that selling is a low-level type of activity and they don't like to be associated with it -- even people who are in sales! Virtually no colleges or universities have a "Department of Selling," even though almost 15 million Americans make their living by selling something to someone. It is the largest single, identifiable occupational group in the United States.

Salespeople are the movers and shakers in every business and industry. They are the key people who create the demand for all the products and services that keep everyone employed at every other occupation.

The wonderful thing about selling is that it is a learned skill. No matter what level of selling ability you possess today, by continued practice, you can become better and more persuasive. And the more effective you are at selling, the more successful you will be in every area of your life.
