So many people reinforce negativity without even knowing it, especially when they have an invitation of “How are you?”

Many respond to the question of “How are you?” with “Tired” or “Not good” or with some other response or body language that indicates they are not doing well.

What this does is focus on what’s wrong and it also gets others to  focus on what’s wrong with you instead of what’s right…so you get a two-fer…YOU focusing on the negative and someone else hearing/supporting it.

NEWS ALERT: Everyone has trouble in their life or is hurting a little, so everyone can let others know how bad they are doing, but what’s the use?? It only puts the dominant thought and focus on the negative, which when that happens, you get more of it.

So focusing on what’s good is the key…you may have to “Fake it ’til you Make it”, but it’s all good. It will just help you talk about the positive and in that way you will get more of it.

Will usually affect tomorrow.

Some of us would probably not like it to be that way.

But the reality of it is…our lives are all made by our choices and they play out in our future.

That being true, good choices will bring us good, and bad choices will bring us bad… tomorrow and in our future.

So it’s really up to us and our choices, that will play out, far past when they are made.

Their beliefs.

Since what we believe, is a base for our decisions, we can understand that our decisions create our actions, and our actions create our future.

So what are our beliefs about our lives and our future?

Our we believing our lives and future is not that good, or great?

Do we believe we are not in control, or in control?

Do we believe we are worthy of a great life or not worthy?

These question may seem silly, but it all starts with our beliefs and ends with our future.

Person that receives something.

And we are all recipients, every day, in every way.

We receive weather, conversation, traffic, work, unpleasant people, pleasant people, information, phone calls etc – we are recipients on a consistent basis.

Why is it that some of the stuff we receive, can take over our emotions, and affect our actions?

It shouldn’t have to…since upon receiving, we are getting more than we had before – we should be thankful for all that we receive, as it is a gift…maybe a gift that we don’t particularly care for, but a gift just the same.

So it may make the best sense to perceive everything that comes to us, as a gift, some we keep and some we pass on…but being thankful and grateful for all that comes to us – as it was more than we had before.

Saying, “If it doesn’t make money, it doesn’t make sense”.

I don’t know who coined this phrase, but to me, it doesn’t make sense.

Making money can be important, for it gives us some extra choices, but the real choices that matter the most are our choices that don’t cost us a dime.

Choosing our friends, costs nothing, except the time and effort we put into them.

We don’t need to make money off our friends, because the ones we choose, will make our lives worth more than all the money in the world.
