“Have you ever thought about the fact that what you do, how you live, what you become, is almost entirely up to you? Of course there are outside circumstances to deal with, but how you deal with them is still, and finally, up to no one else but you. What you decide to do next will determine what you do next.”
~Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D.

I choose to think happy & positive thoughts and not let my mind dwell on things I can’t control or worry about things that might or might not happen. This will take alot of effort but I am determined to “change my mind” because now I know if I do it, it will change alot more than just my thoughts.

Think positively not negatively & think big not small. Obviously there’s more to it than that but it is a very short book that wasn’t all that insightful. I need more…on to the next book!

I will make an effort to apply everything I learned from this to change my life…it needs to be changed.

Notes I took while watching:
-Make a new life in your thoughts (meditate on it)
-Let go of the past to experience everything as brand new. Do not let something in the present trigger a past emotion or thought and let it take over and be present again
-Make thought more real than anything else
-Change your negative addictive emotions
-Stop operating as if today is yesterday
-Leave your identity (previous experiences) behind
-Change your inner voice’s need. Don’t listen to the negative. If you can’t control your emotional state your addicted to that certain emotion
-Examine everything you do and feel
-Stop associating to certain people, things and emotions
-There is no ideal, it’s all an illusion
-Break all your molds. Let go of your comfort zones (false securities)
-Change how you perceive things, how you think about things, how you feel about things, how you sense the world
-Your intention affects your world. Your very thoughts affect everything that’s going on in your life so you have to think wisely
-The body wants to heal itself but the mind gets in the way
-Our culture is in the wrong paradigm and not appreciating the power of thought
