There is something we all have that is so powerful. It is so important, and it is the one thing that determines whether you succeed or fail. It is the one thing that either propels you or limits you. It has so much power. But so many people use this power in the wrong way.

You’ve probably heard, "As a man thinks, so is he." But do you realize what that actually means? Do you understand this actually impacts every part of your life? It affects how you run your business, how you work in your job, how you raise your family, how you think about money.

Your mind is so important! The way you think determines what you will have in your life.

So you really have to take a step back and look at your life. According to some "career experts," 2 in 3 people are totally dissatisfied in their work, and they think if they could just find the perfect job, everything would be better. Millions of people are depressed and think their circumstance is the reason. Men and women think if they had just married the right person, they would not be experiencing the relationship problems they’re dealing with today.

Have you ever thought any of those things? How about this one? "I can’t afford it!" Or maybe, "I don’t think I can do it." Or "Nothing ever works out for me."

Let’s put those thoughts on hold for a few minutes, and I want you to think about what those thoughts are actually doing to you. When you say, "I don’t think I can do it," how do you talk? You say, "I can’t do it." How do you walk? You carry yourself in a way that says you can’t do it. Bottom line, what you think is what you will speak, and what you speak is what you will do.

So again, look at your life. What do you see that is not the way you want it to be? Whatever those things are, the first thing you must look at is the way you think. Your success or your failure begins in your mind.

How do you think about your job? Your family? Your past mistakes? Your future goals and plans? Your relationships? Do you think about the way you want these things to be? Do you think about how you can improve those things? Or do you think about how it’s not working, or how you wish it was better or different?

If what you think is what you will have in your life, then start thinking in the right direction!!!

How exactly can you do that? It’s very simple…

1. Change your environment. Birds of a feather flock together. If you are surrounded by negative people who think negatively about their life, their work, their family, their relationships, and their finances, then there’s a pretty good chance you are thinking that way too. Get out of that environment!
2. Change the messaging you put into your mind. What you put in, you will get out. Think about it this way… Does it make sense that you put Finding Nemo in the DVD player, but Silence of the Lambs starts playing? Of course not! If you put Finding Nemo in, Finding Nemo will play. If you put Silence of the Lambs in, Silence of the Lambs will play. The messaging you put into your mind will come out in your life. If you put negativity and mediocrity into your mind, you will have negativity and mediocrity in your life.
3. Change your focus. What you focus on is what you get good at. The thoughts you dwell on will become actions and habits. If you focus on thoughts like, "I can’t afford it!" or "I can’t do it!" you will stay stuck in that place. So focus on what you can do and what you want to happen in your life.

My friend, YOU are in control of your thoughts! YOU are in control of your own success. So choose to use the power of your mind to your advantage!
