Google it!

In his daily message yesterday, my mentor Darren Hardy spoke about using our minds as our own personal search engine. His premise was when you Google something, anything at all, Google gives you the information you are looking for. While watching a really great documentary last night on our National Parks,Susan wanted to now when the Statue of Liberty came to our shores. We Googled it and immediately had the answer along with all sorts of other interesting tidbits about the statue.
Then she asked about Mt. Rushmore,so we again asked Google and once again,all of the information we were looking for was right in front of us.
So it is with our own brain. For the last number of weeks,I have woken up in victim mode on a daily basis.My thoughts have been around how do I get through one more day? What am  going to do about "x"? Why am I going through what I am going through?
Guess what has happened?
 My brain has remained focus on all of these things instead of anything positive or energetic.
Enough of this nonsense. What Darren said makes sense. You think about something and that is where you will end up. Change your search,change your thoughts and inevitably you will change the direction you are headed.It really is that simple. I have heard more than once,you can't unknow what you have learned. I now know more about the Statue of Liberty and Mt. Rushmore than I did before (or then I might ever have a need for).That's fine. Once I asked Google the door was swung wide open. So it is with my daily thoughts. Wake up worrying, your day will be filled with worries. Wake up with a plan of action,and man does your day go a whole lot differently.
It sounds simple right?
Well there is a bit more to this than just imagining. We all have dreams as well as nightmares.We choose which ones will occupy our mind. Either one can become your reality.If I start out focused on the nightmares, I will live them. If I concentrate on a plan based on the dream,it only figures that they will soon manifest themselves in a positive way.
How often have we heard"be careful what you wish for". Cautionary advise indeed.More appropriately I think the phrase should be choose wisely what you think about.
It really does make a difference.
