You Are In Control!

Written by Kathy Thompson


You can control your own actions and reactions. You can control others. You can controlrepparttar situation. It is your choice.

Seriously, you can. I am going to show you how you can do this. What you are about to discover is so easy and unique, everyone can do it. Our world would be better off.

If someone told you "You're getting fat", how would you react? If someone told you "You're getting gray," how would you react? Would you be hurt, angry, or make a joke of it?

You have a choice. You choose your behavior and how you react to other people's communications and behavior. It is your decision to use your personality positively or negatively. It is that decision that affects your relationships with everyone in your life. It can make or break your relationships.

Possessiveness appears negative? Possessive people do hoard things, people, and time. Onrepparttar 122629 positive side, they do work towards security, and make good managers and providers.

Beliefs

Written by Mike Shanta


Do you realize that what we believe about ourselves, affects us so much more than what is actually true about ourselves? Let me give you an example of what I mean.

Let’s say you attend a music concert and are completely blown away by someone’s piano playing. You walk out ofrepparttar concert and say to yourself, “I would love to playrepparttar 122626 piano like that, and move people inrepparttar 122627 way I was moved”. Now, doesrepparttar 122628 fact that you cannot currently playrepparttar 122629 piano mean you can never accomplish that desire?

The current truth about yourself is, you cannot playrepparttar 122630 piano. But, what you believe about yourself will determine if that will remain your reality or if you will become an excellent pianist.

Do you know what people like Tony Robbins, Zig Ziggler, Og Mandino and Napoleon Hill have in common? They are all people from humble beginnings, they all had many set backs in life, and they all later became very successful. How did they do this? They learned to believe in themselves.

If you find in your current state that you are over weight, deep in debt, lonely, or unsuccessful in any area of your life, does that mean you are stuck in that reality? I don’t think so. I’m sure you’ve heardrepparttar 122631 saying birds of a feather flock together. Well, negative people tend to hang out with other negative people, religious people tend to hang out with other religious people, and entrepreneurs tend to hang out with other entrepreneurs. Who do you hang out with? We all tend to gravitate toward people or groups of people that we believe to be like us, or people we would like to be like.

There are people who were born into great privilege, yet they threw their lives away and died miserable and alone. Then there have been many people born into this world dirt poor, yet went on to accomplish many great things for themselves and society in general. Why such different outcomes? Much of it has to do with their beliefs. You see we all get thrown curve balls in life; we all hitrepparttar 122632 wall from time to time, and circumstances are sometimes beyond our control. But what we believe about ourselves has a great deal to do with how we respond to, or deal with these situations.
