INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS, QUOTES, AND NOTES

From the Book 'The Secret'

Your thoughts determine your frequency, and your feelings tell you immediately what frequency you are on. When you feel bad, you are on the frequency of drawing more bad things. When you feel good, you are powerfully attracting more good things to you.

Dr. Ben Johnson:

Remove physiological stress from the body, and the body does what it was designed to do. It heals itself. 

You don't have to fight to get rid of a disease. Just the simple process of letting go of negative thoughts will allow your natural state of health to emerge within you. And your body will heal itself.

"Imagination is everything. It's the preview to life's coming attractions." 

Albert Einstein

The first principle for success is desire - knowing what you want. Desire is the planting of your seed. Know what you want to achieve. The desire is the seed from which your success will grow.

Happiness is a choice.

While not always a comfortable one, happiness is real, blood and guts, in-the-trenches-of-life decision. It isn't just getting what we want or having everything exactly as we desire it, nor is it just some type of euphoria or emotional high. It's not found in the raw consumption of passing pleasures or the aggressive assertion of self-interests. While these might at times be enjoyable and give some security, they never last and always leave us wanting more. 

Surrounded by so many passing enjoyments, happiness stands out as a choice. We have to choose to be happy. In the midst of our struggles and consolations - the ups and downs of life - we can choose the constant and steady path of happiness. It is available to us.

Every Minute Someone Leaves This World - By Marianne Baum

Every minute someone leaves this world behind. Age has nothing to do with it. We are all in "the line" without knowing it.

We never know how many people are before us. We can not move to the back of the line. We can not step out of the line. We can not avoid the line.

So while we wait in line:

Make moments count. Make priorities. Make the time. Make your gifts known. Make a nobody feel like somebody. Make your voice heard. Make the small things big. Make someone smile. Make the change. Make love. Make peace. Make sure to tell your people they are loved. Make sure you have no regrets. Make sure you are ready...

When disappointment or rejection knocks you down, get back up and go again. We give up too easily on our dreams. We need to understand that just as God opens doors, sometimes God supernaturally closes doors. And when God closes a door, it's always because he has something better in store. So just because you've come to a dead end, it's not time to give up. Find a different route and keep pressing forward. 

When you come to a closed door, or something doesn't work out in your life, instead of seeing that as the end, regard that as God nudging you into a better direction.

Don't allow your life to become dull. Keep dreaming, hoping, and planning for new projects, experiences, and adventures with God. You have everything you need to fulfill your God-given destiny. God has already put in the talent, the creativity, the discipline, the wisdom, and the determination. It's all in you.

There's something that God wants you to accomplish. Somebody needs your touch. Somebody needs what you have. Don't live with that treasure undiscovered, and don't die with the treasure still in you. Press forward. Give birth to the dreams and desires that God has placed in your heart.

“Thank you” is one of the most overlooked but impactful simple phrases in the English language. Super positive people do not underestimate its power. They say “Thank you” all the time when people do positive, kind things to them. Say thank you to people. These two little words pack a heck of a punch and spread a wave of positive energy all around.
