You want to ask a question or questions that will move you forward and empower you to take action. Like: “How can I accomplish this project and enjoy process?” Now you have directed any negative thinking to a more positive flow. This positive flow will encourage action and give you results.

If you are tackling a big problem ask questions like, “How can I break this down into workable steps?” “How can I solve first step, second step and so on?” Or “What is first action to resolving this first step and so on?”

Should you be going through a “bad” experience -- if there is such a thing, for while we have experiences we don’t enjoy, are they truly BAD in long run? Don’t we gain valuable knowledge and experience we can apply later? But I digress. Let us get back to topic at hand. If you are going through a “bad” experience, then channel your flow with questions like; “What can I learn from this experience?” “How can I grow from this experience?” “How can I keep this from happening to me again?” “How can I make lemonade out of this lemon?” (Remember Velcro was actually a failed experiment so was glue that now is used on Post-It Notes – both of these lemons have become sweet profitable lemonade for inventors and their companies)

Now that you have asked your question(s) really let your mind run with it. Don’t just ask question once, ask it again and again. Whenever you have a minute of spare time or when your alone driving home, seriously mull over question and let your mind turn over to you ideas and actions that will bring you to positive results of changing your flow of thought.

(Oh, and remember don’t think about your shoes!) Think Successfully. Tracy

So it is extremely important that you understand yourself-- real you. Not you constructed by others based on their views of success, but you at your core—the you that calls in your dreams. You know who that is, even while you try to hide from it. You have glimpses of who you really are--and these glimpses thrill you. Perhaps your mind is used to taking over at this point, frightening you with all reasons you can’t be that person your soul is calling for. If that’s where your thoughts take you--to a paralyzing fear--think again. Think another thought!

If your favorite saying is, "If it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all," spend some time in quiet meditation reflecting on who you really are. Consider where your passions lie. Recall your periods of great excitement, energy, and joy. During those times you are being who you really are. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live every day that way? And wouldn’t it be great to have luck on your side? It can be.
