The following is as appeared on Positively postive, a wonderful post on the power of positive reinforcement.
You Are Awesome:
You are awesome. End of story. Period. Print it, post it, feel it.
You were born awesome, and you will leave awesome. There may be lessons, bumps, and arrests along the way, but that doesn’t change the fact that you are a totally delicious hug magnet.
I feel sad for them. Because you are as wonderful as I describe; there’s no need to worry about your worth or feel undeserving.
Whenever I experience those dark feelings, I know something much bigger is off in my life. I quickly hop in my invisible plane (the same model Wonder Woman used to fly) and soar up to about 30,000 feet. The view is perfect up there. I peek out the window and evaluate my emotional landscape. Are my crops dry and undernourished? Are they rushed? Imagine a farmer pulling on her kale buds while shouting, “Grow, you damn plant!” Does my kale feel cramped? Space is needed. Light is needed. Water is needed. Love is always, endlessly needed. You get the point.
I didn’t always have this perspective. When I was first diagnosed with an incurable (yet slow-moving) stage IV cancer a decade ago, I couldn’t see beyond the rim of my tragic martini glass. But I didn’t stay in that place for long. Instead of falling deep into despair or letting fear destroy me, I turned to whole foods, functional medicine, and a heaping dose of awesome thoughts. I upgraded the types of products I used in and around my house and on my skin and made space for quiet time. Shhh. Quiet. Meditation, prayer, love. Quiet. That’s the mini-formula my friends, plus a heaping dose of dancing!
While I still have cancer (it’s currently stable), I feel better than before my diagnosis. In fact, today I call myself a cancer thriver, and I am really proud of that title. Sure there are stumbles and setbacks. And yes, I have crappy days. I don’t want to paint a picture-perfect, peachy world. But when the darkness comes, I rely on my self-love practice to guide me back to the light. The more I practice, the easier and more effortless it gets.
With the recent launch of KrisCarr.com and the debut of my cookbook, Crazy Sexy Kitchen, I’ve been deepening my connection to my readers, getting a clearer picture of what’s on their minds. For many reasons, a lot of people are feeling very insecure right now. The economy is struggling; we’re nervous about the upcoming election, and, well, folks are just plain struggling. Some have health issues; others have heartache issues. And that’s why I want to remind you of your greatness. You, dear person, are a heaping dose of AWE-inspiring awesome. I hope you really hear that. I hope you pause and really take it in.
You get to write and edit them continuously. And it’s really important to tend and maintain your belief in your awesomeness because when you feel terrible, the world suffers. Believe me, the world needs sweet, darling you. Rest a little more, recharge those batteries as my grandma would say, have a snack (preferably a healthy one!), gently pet your own head, and say a kind word (or ten). You’re ready for everything you always dreamed of. Personally, I plan on marinating in my absolute magnificence! Join me.
Peace & Awesomeness,
Kris Carr

Chapter 15 How to outwit the 6 ghosts of fear
This is a chapter that have needed to work on personally a bit as a lot of fears were holding me back, from criticism, losing someone who I loved, poverty, ill health. All of which had run my life for many years. Relationships were hard owing to so much fear in me and being unable to remember what was greatful for as a person.
Today I was getting up before my girlfriend was and was scared about disturbing her and being able to still do my morning routine. I was heading to gym to do a workout whist my girlfriend had a day off and was sleeping in. Something that has been rare to happen personally, for me finding a way to work around such and do such without disturbing her showed me that my fears of relationships which were so inground are nothing.
I have been working on scuh for a while now conquring each of these fears and letting them take less and less hold on my life. Yet at the same time whist I have become stronger I have found that these fears no longer have as much hold over me. That have gone from a guy who was petrified of people owing to so much pain from caring about people to finding a way work around a situation. It has been through self talk that has allowed me to become stronger as a person.
Also through expressing what is going on and saying look this is whats happening for me right now and I have to deal with it. Yes there are fears that are still hanging around and these will need work to overcome. Yet I have been able to walk away from so many of these fears which held me back for many years now.
Thank you to Michael, willena, ken for inspiration guidance and love, thank you to the mental cleanse communite for your inspiring lessons.
Abundent love,

As appeared in success in 10 steps by Michael Dlouhy thank you Michael for such a powerful lesson.
Yes. Sure. Absolutely. The answer is obvious.
They're both dead.
However, it's a bit of a trick question, too.
Why?
Well, I personally don't know if Jimmy Hoffa is part of the foundation of Giants Stadium in New Jersey, or if he's buried in a backyard in Detroit. But I'll tell you this: Jimmy Hoffa IS dead. I know he's dead. You know he's dead. Jimmy Hoffa knows he's dead.
Your past, on the other hand ... well, I know it's dead. You know it's dead. Right?
Or are you like most people, reliving your business failures every day of your life?
If so, you've come to the right place.
From Success in 10 Steps by Michael Dlouhy, we need to remember to let our own past remain there and go from there. To let things go as hard as it is to do.

From Inspire your day friday email.
Frank’s Diner was once an energized, thriving business, a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike in the scenic New England town of York Beach Maine. But when the economy hit a brick wall, Frank found it more and more difficult to hold onto his trademark, cheerful smile.
One day, Frank caught a glimpse in the mirror on the diner wall of a grumpy, scowling old man with frown lines embedded deeply in the corners of his mouth. He didn’t recognize the man as himself. Looking around his desolate diner, he knew that it wasn’t just the economy that had driven his customers away – it was his pessimistic attitude toward life. Frank had tried to remain optimistic but it seemed like the hits just kept coming, like a NorEaster pummeling the coastline. He often wondered what there was to look forward to each day.
His eyes met with a booth in the back corner of the diner where a frail elderly woman ate breakfast with a college age girl. Mrs. Sheridan and her caregiver Michelle had been coming in for breakfast every day for a couple of years. Frank would nod and force his face into a smile when they walked in the door each day. They were his best customers after all. Mrs. Sheridan would conclude each meal by scribbling something onto a diner napkin and placing the napkin in her purse with a contented smile.
One sunny fall day, even though the New England leaves painted a breathtaking landscape outside the diner windows, Frank was oblivious to the beauty that surrounded him. He was currently crouched under the counter, grumbling about how the dishwashers were always leaving spots on the coffee mugs. A feeble voice above interrupted his rant.
“Frank, I wonder if I could have a word with you.”
Frank nearly smashed his head on the cash register as he jumped to his feet, looking at Mrs. Sheridan in surprise. Michelle held onto the old woman tight, obviously propping her up. All Frank could do was nod agreeably.
“I wanted to talk to you about these…”
She lifted her trembling arm, pointing toward the frown lines on Frank’s face.
He opened his mouth to say something, to explain, to defend himself… but realized he had nothing to say, so Mrs. Sheridan continued.
“Young man, I learned a long time ago that life doesn’t always go your way. Believe me, I have 90 plus years of my fair share of heartbreaks and challenges that I could easily carry around with me as baggage. Instead, I choose to carry these with me.”
She reached into her purse and took out a stack of the napkins Frank had watched her scribble on every day. She had written things like: autumn leaves, Michelle’s kindness, seashells from the beach, the beautiful sunrise today, another delicious breakfast at Frank’s Diner.
“Frank I would like to challenge you to do the same; to stop carrying around your struggles and start carrying an attitude of gratitude instead.”
After Mrs. Sheridan further described his daily “homework assignment,” Frank didn’t have the heart to refuse her request.
At first he did it to appease her. As she watched from her booth each day, Frank would dutifully take a napkin from a dispenser on the counter, scribble something he was grateful for on it and put it in his pocket. The process was mechanical in the beginning, mindless instead of mindful. But each time Mrs. Sheridan smiled over at him, wordlessly encouraging him to continue.
Frank barely noticed when things began to change, when the words of gratitude he jotted down on the napkin each morning began to sink into his thick, stubborn skull. The attitude of gratitude he had inadvertently adopted through the sheer routine of it, began to truly mean something. That was when Frank’s life began to change…
A little over a month into his daily gratitude homework, Frank once again caught a glimpse of himself in the diner mirror. The reflection in the mirror was of a glowing, joyful man whom he hadn’t seen for years. This man looked forward to each new day with hope and enthusiasm.
Still smiling almost uncontrollably at the realization of how much life had changed, Frank surveyed his now bustling business. Locals, staff, and tourists alike were cheerfully enjoying the revitalized space. Even though Frank hadn’t made any physical renovations, the diner somehow looked brighter to him. His eyes automatically drifted to the corner, to share in the moment with Mrs. Sheridan. But for the first time in a few days, the booth was empty. Frank’s heart sank…
A couple days later Michelle arrived and placed a box on the counter in front of Frank with a solemn smile, tears glistening in the young woman’s eyes.
“Mrs. Sheridan wanted you to have these.”
Looking at the floor so she couldn’t see his own tearful eyes, Frank simply nodded his appreciation. He felt an overwhelming wave of gratitude wash over him that such a special lady had come into his life, and exactly when he needed her most.
By time the springtime leaves were blooming, Frank’s Diner was more popular than ever in York Beach. There was one new feature in particular that was a huge customer draw. When a diner patron reached for a napkin from a dispenser, they also received a message of gratitude printed on it. Each message was word for word from Mrs. Sheridan’s collection; along with a few from Frank’s own personal stash. Beneath the message was the question – “What are you grateful for today?” with a blank line beneath. Frank would watch from the counter as customers of all ages and from all walks of life eagerly scribbled their answers on napkins, and almost always with a smile. Mrs. Sheridan’s unwavering attitude of gratitude, it seemed, had transformed not only his own life, but the lives of those around him as well.
What steps will YOU take today and every day to adopt an attitude of gratitude in your life? Will you make the choice to focus on your burdens or your blessings? It is so easy to feel shortchanged when we focus on lack. But when we practice gratitude as a daily habit, life has a way of transforming positively around us. Whether you use something as simple as a napkin ora journal, when you write down the things you are grateful for each day you’ll be changing your view of the world around you, just one day at a time.
