The Power of Thought

I had coffee tonight with a client who has become a good friend.  We met at 6:30 and chatted past 8:30, outside, drinking iced soy drinks, and really just connecting.  It was fantastic.  Conversation is so powerful, I think with all the high-tech gadgets and widgets we just forget what it's like to really and truly connect with someone.  And you have to to feel human.

Part of what we discussed was how things come to pass in our lives that are brought on by what we think and say.  Silly thought initially - or at least that's how I felt - but the more we compared stories and incidents, the more we solidified for us that more recently followed belief that, "what you think about you bring about".  Our conversations went everywhere from jobs to relationships to health to dreams (goals).  At every point, whether we meant it or not, we were encouraging each other to strive to be better - to believe better.

And sometimes it's hard.  At first or at all.  We spend so much time talking to ourselves and we do so in ways that if we spoke the thoughts aloud to another person we would be appalled at what we said.  But yet with ourselves we deem it okay, and it shouldn't be.  Change the way you speak to yourself and what you expect, and you will change your reality.

It's encouraging.  And it's time you thought better of yourself, even if you are already thinking very highly of yourself, keep going.  Keep pushing yourself to be better, and you will keep reaping great rewards.
