"How about a few examples?" I hear you ask.

Sure. Not a problem ;-)

"Caught in act of doing good"

"Scores of people encouraging others"

"Parents helping their kids"

"So many good things it's hard to keep track!"

"The little things do get noticed!"

"Kindness seen in most obvious places"

"Needs being met in every section of town"

"Good news in news!"

Think with me for a moment...

If you were to write a short story filled with examples that would fit headlines listed above -- examples from your everyday world, -- you would have to look for them, wouldn't you?

And that's precisely idea.

SOMETIMES LIFE JUST AIN'T PRETTY

Before you ask why I'm suggesting this, I will tell you: sometimes world is not a pretty place.

I have in front of me a newspaper, and I am reading headlines like these...

"Feds targeting prescription fakes."

"Pakistan kills 12 in al-Qaida bunker"

"Weekly Iraq toll: 3-6 killed, 40 hurt"

"Parents face charges in duct-taping"

In spite of these headlines, however, there is good in world.

Good people doing good things. Good people saying good things.

Everyday. In your world and in mine.

My purpose in suggesting this exercise is simnple...

I WANTED US TAKE NOTE OF THE GOOD WE OFTEN MISS

Creating our own "headlines" for day or week is an idea to help us draw our attention to brighter side of life.

In my way of thinking...

"It's always good to see good."

WHAT WILL YOU SEE?

Time to create your own "good news" headline for this week.

Your headline will be ______________________________________

____________________________________________________________

When you will begin ________________________________________

When you will end __________________________________________

Remember: "What you see is what you get."

Yours for a day filled with beautiful moments in time,

Firstly, read some sort of self-improvement message every day, and this can be a message you write out on a card that you keep by your bed, and can read before and after sleep. This is powerful for programming subconscious.

Incidentally, most people that ‘poo-poo’ an idea like this, have never tried it!

Secondly, imagine one of those ‘Strongest Men in World’ shows on TV, where a huge mountain of a man is trying to pull a 50 ton truck with his teeth.

His eyes are popping, veins bulging on his neck, but truck doesn’t move.

Then truck wobbles, and slowly begins to edge forward. The crowd cheers, and strongman starts to walk forward, grunting like an elephant.

If he stops, he is in trouble, because he has to start all over again with eye-popping, but if he keeps going, it gets easier for him, because truck picks up momentum, and begins to move by itself.

The man still needs to pull, or truck will stop, but man’s effort has been reduced to keeping up movement, and nothing more.

This is due to laws of physics, and can be applied to goal achievement and life change.

You need to keep going until your life picks up new momentum, and even then, you need to keep putting in effort.

Intention to form new habits is great, taking action to form new habits is even better, but it won’t amount to anything unless you accept that you need to keep working until momentum kicks in! (It *always* does eventually!)
