Thoughts are Things
Every time I read this chapter, it seems I understand more and more.
Thinking back to a month ago, I was thinking about how badly I wanted to get to my company's event.
I kept thinking the good positive thoughts and saw myself at this event.
Well thanks to a kind hearted lady, Agnes Tally, I was at this event.
I also seem to always relate it to what the bible says:
In the beginning was the word (this is a thought)...and the word became flesh (this manifestation became real).
God or whatever your understanding of God may be tells us that thoughts are things.
Now I know there is more to this meaning but just the word alone started as a thought and became real.
Wow, I think about this idea and can't help that the message behind this is for all of us to realize that "thoughts are things" and we create our lives by the way think and see our world.
Choices we make everyday affect our realites. Choosing our thoughts carefully is wisdom.
So what we think about on a daily basis is more important than we realize because it is about our lives and the meaning that we give to our realities that count and how our lives produce meaning to our realities.
We become centered, balanced and with direction follwing the path that leads to goodness and love.
What meaning do we give to our lives?
What meaning do we give to our realities?
What new, better, grander thoughts can we think about to give special meaning to our lives today?
Giving special meaning to our lives with good thoughts means we have the power to create the life we want to create.
Taking God's wisdom in planning our lives, living the action and treasuring our thoughts and these become who we are. It's the gift of freedom but we must guard our thoughts.
If we don't guard and own our thoughts, being responsible with them, someone else will create them for us and steal our dreams.
Honestly, I believe this is the first time in my life that I have taken my thoughts and guared them. I never realized how precious my thoughts and dreams were in the past and that they should be guarded so I could create my life.
It's like waking up and seeing the universe for the first time!
I'm so grateful for learning this wisdom.
Much Love and appreciation,

" ..our brains become magnetized with the dominating thoughts which we hold in our minds (what we dwell on), and, by means with which no man is familiar, these “magnets” attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts." -Napoleon Hill Ch.1 in "Think and Grow Rich"
If what Napoleon Hill is saying is the truth, then it is also true that every adult among us, No Exceptions, is 100% responsible for what is showing up in our lives. We are literally, not kind of or sort of, we are Literally creating our lives with what we think about most often and most intensely. It does not matter if what we focus on is negative or positive, "good or evil", "in alignment or out of alignment". No matter what, We Get what We Intensely Dwell On 100% of the time.
What I used to dwell on almost all day, every day, where intense thoughts like, "How am I going to stop being so damned negative! How am I gonna stop acting like such a jerk to my wife! How and I ever going to get out of debt! Oh crap, it's raining! That damned dog! Those damned kids!" and on and on and on. I'm sure your thoughts where not so different than mine. This is quite simply a case of dwelling on what we don't want. We have all been quite painfully aware of what we don't want, and in order to get what we do want in life and in business, we MUST CHANGE OUR SELF-TALK!
If you want to own your life, you MUST CHANGE what you Dwell On most of the time. In 30 Day Mental Cleanse we call this "owning your thoughts by developing and saying a well-crafted Self-Talk 400 times per day." Please, my friends, do yourself and your family a HUGE favor, learn to dwell on the thoughts that you WANT to create in your life and business by sticking with us and fully participating in 30 Day Mental Cleanse. You will "Learn how to think, not what to think" by learning how to Dwell on and live in the Positive Emotions most of the time.

PS- If you just can't wait to learn how to create your own well-crafted self-talk, then do as Michael tells you and borrow his self-talk. "I am having fun building the largest, most profitable, highest retention organization in the history of network marketing through education and team work."
PSS- Now, put on your Big Boy and Big Girl pants and say that self-talk 400 times per day for the next 28 days. If you life doesn't change, we will give you your money back.

Chapter 1
Thoughts are Things
Sitting here by the river drinking a cup of coffee I was bringing to my mind the many thoughts, dreams and desires I have seen, tried or accomplished. I guess I have had many, some I am proud of and some I haven’t been so proud.
Growing up listening to older people talk about their life their dreams and their accomplishments. Going to movies where the hero always wins. Playing cops and robbers where the cops always wins. Our minds are always focused that we can never loose, we always end up winners and end up happy.
That was dreamland and when I grew up and faced the real world I was always faced with failure after failure. I was always the bad guy. Why? Listening to older people, going to movies, playing cops and robbers, the end was always happiness never about what really happened in the end or what you really had to do.
You dream of going to war fighting for your freedom you know like in the movies you win and come home a hero. Boy was I shocked the things I had to do see and watch. The times I piqued my guts out the times I cried myself to sleep the times I wanted to say “the end” and just go home a hero. Then I learned I had to grow up be hard shelled my thoughts turned into a hero fighting for happiness and love. When I thought it was over I would take another step forward I couldn’t give up. I took my knock downs learned to crawl and pick myself up. I learned to wipe my tears away and keep on fighting and wipe the smile off my face. I would win I would never quit or give up.
After I came home all the thoughts about the good guy always wining and riding off happy and a winner was just a dream. I found out I worked hard when I tried to accomplish my dreams and goals and I was always short of my goals and I would quit. I never reached the top I was always a little short of reaching my goal. I still was not going to give up. I have now learned some of the greatest failed and failed but reached their goal after 10, 20 or 30m years. I know now failure is just a stopping point to regain my breath and correct the failure and move forward I’ve only been trying for 7 years so I guess I am doing pretty good with all my MFF team and mentors picking me up and shoving me forward. I’ll never give up and I am sure I will hit a few more stumbling blocks and my MFF team and Shelly and Michael and Lindy will pick me up and push me forward.
Wow what a wonderful life I am having and wonderful and beautiful friends I have in MFF. Thanks guys I’m not finished yet
I have just started.
Love success and happiness to all
Ernest Tucker
