The Power of ThoughtsWritten by Daniel N. Brown
Continued from page 1
Just as conscience mind is source of thought, so subconscience mind is source of power. You give instructions to your subconscious mind through your thoughts. It doesn't know good from bad or right from wrong. It only follows your instructions, which are your thoughts. It will create anything you tell it. Pay attention to your thoughts. Analyze them and listen to what you are thinking. Then decide if these are good thoughts, bad thoughts or needless thoughts. Decide if these thoughts work for you or against you. Take control of your thoughts and make most of your life. Remember, Bible says, “Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, if there be any virtue, or any praise, think on these things.” (Phil 4:8)

• If you're a guest, offer to help! No matter what host or hostess says, bring a little something: a small flower arrangement, after dinner candy (chocolate - of course - is always welcome, and mints are great), a bottle of wine. And don't forget thank you note, handwritten, later! It may be a pain, but it will make your hosts feel wonderful. • Go around table and ask everyone to say one thing they are thankful for. You might be surprised what comes up -- and it can start meal off in a wonderful, positive direction. • Reminisce about good times. I know there were some. How can you create more? • Consider planning or suggesting activities other than eating and drinking. Play touch football outside or go for a walk. Bring a board game (yes, it's un-cool) or work on a jigsaw puzzle. It's much more fun to be arguing about landing on Boardwalk than old, un-resolved family issues. • Finally, if you absolutely know it's going to be pure hell, don't go. You don't need aggravation, and neither does anyone else. Make reservations instead of having them.Remember, holidays are about celebrating, not about family therapy, old hurts or resentments. Leave those at home, and you'll have a much better time. (To ensure that everyone is on same page, why not forward them this article?)
