The Power - How To Make This Your Best Week EverWritten by Clyde Dennis
I had a friend ask me a question not to long ago that really led me to do some thinking. "How do you manage to stay so positive all time?" You never seem to have "bad" days she said.Truthfully thing is physically I have plenty bad days. I’m convinced more than my fair share of them. To a certain extent this is something over which I have no control. However, on other hand her assumption was right in one respect. Mentally I never have "bad" days and I believe it’s for one simple reason – I never forget that thoughts that I allow to remain in my mind are completely within my control. I can think whatever I want at anytime. I can change my thoughts from something that I don’t want to think about to something that I do want to think about in an instant. At any give moment I can go from powerless to fully empowered. This of course is no big secret. So can you. A lot of you don’t want to hear this but you have more control of your life’s experiences than you’re exercising. Taking charge of YOU requires discipline. It requires going through life at a pace that you’re able to remain aware of what you’re thinking. Thoughts lead actions. It’s not, or shouldn’t be, other way around. I hear your wheels turning, "Clyde, it’s not that simple". It is that simple. Is it easy? Maybe not, but it is in fact that simple. The controls to your life’s experiences are right there. Whether or not you use them is on you. You have absolute control over whether or not you allow an intended insult to be an insult. You have absolute control over whether or not you’re going to allow yourself to be upset by an event or circumstance or if you’re going to smile right through it accepting it as just another classroom experiment.

The mistake is to go looking, before cleaning up your own "back yard". The mistake is to seek someone because you're so desperately lonely, and don't feel happy with your own company. You may find a partner using this approach, but it often won't last, and will rarely lead to fulfillment. There's nothing wrong with this approach, and this newsletter won't stop anyone doing it. BUT - here's key to entering a great relationship: You want to be having such a great time that perfect partner notices you and says "Hey - can I play too?". If you are already happy with your own company, and loving your life, then skip straight to PART II - action section. If there are some things you're ready to handle in your own life - to prepare a more attractive space for a partner to come into and play - then read on. Try following check list (add up your score - 1 for each "true"): •I have a job I enjoy. •I am happy with my chosen friends and am well supported. •I am complete (nothing unresolved or unsaid) with my close family members and friends. •I do not fret about money. (I have a reserve of cash and/or regularly save a percentage of my income). •My home and bedroom are places I would feel comfortable inviting someone to spend time in. •I am happy with my current weight, appearance and way I dress. •I feel good about food I eat and my current exercise program. •I enjoy/am comfortable spending time alone. •I have found things to do alone (other than reading or watching TV) that I enjoy. •I am comfortable expressing myself. •My week is fun - I have found things to do that are so much fun that I'm not always looking around to see who I might meet.
