Don't Have a Skinny Goat Mentality

I'm sure most of you have heard the phrase, "you get back what you put out." When you hear that phrase, you may think back to when your mom told you to treat people the way you want to be treated. Guess what? Mom was right! However, you can get back so much more if you are putting out positive energy. We treat other people right because as a human being that's what we're supposed to do and in return, we get it back tenfolds. I use this example because everyone is able to relate to it. But, continuing to put out positive energy into the universe can bring you a lifetime of prosperity, abundance and happiness. The universe can be translated in many ways. Some refer to it as just that, the universe, others consider it the holy ghost or the holy spirit, while others just consider God. If you continue to think negative and pronounce negativity over your life, then guess what? You're going to continue to have negative experiences. So, I challenge everyone today to stop walking around with a "skinny goat mentality." Stop hanging around toxic people (because remember, misery loves company), stop declaring you'll never prosper or you'll never be able to afford the finer things in life. And by all means, do not think that where ever you are in your life today is where you are supposed to be. In other words, do not accept complacency. Declare everything you want out of life... be it a high paying career, a big house on a lake, a spouse and 2.5 children, perfect health, to lose that extra ten pounds or that BMW you've been eyeing for years.

Here are some helpful hints to help you achieve what you want and to keep you on the right path:

1. Journal-- think of all the things you want to accomplish or what you want out of life and write it down. It always helps to refer back to it later as a reminder. Once you've done that, write down how you plan to achieve it. (Let's face it, you have to work for what you want in life).

2. Affirmations-- Look at yourself in the mirror every morning and tell yourself "today is going to be a wonderful day", tell yourself "you are a wonderful person and that you deserve all the good things that are coming your way". Eventually, you will believe this because guess what? It's the truth!

3. Manifestations-- Think of the career you want, the house you want to live in, the car you want to drive, the trip you want to take or whatever it is you want. Then, close your eyes and visualize yourself in the experience.

4. ONLY surround yourself with positive people... people who want the same things in life as you do, people who have the same goals and interests as you do.

5. Wake up happy and excited about what this day is going to bring. Be excited about your life and only expect great things will come your way.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!
