What You Think

What are the thoughts that run through your head?  Life sucks? Some times all too true and oh so dangerous.  What you think on is what comes true in your life.  I know you might be thinking, you are telling me I am bringing all this grief on myself.  What I am saying is that what we focus on is perpetuated in our life.  Have you ever noticed when things are going good and you are focusing on how great life is... that things seem to go smooth?  When you are having a good day and thinking "uh oh" this can't last, something bad is going to happen', it does.  Focusing on the good things and the beautiful things in life takes a lot of practice.  The old destructive thoughts are comforting and familiar and they want to come back.  My friend Cheri and I were discussing this and she said it just feels so phony.  Last week I had the privilege of riding the train to work and back each day. I grew up on the beach so enjoying the water view from the train felt like a luxury.  I felt so grateful for so much and that spilled into my day.  So we decided if you are plagued with the old life sucks thoughts, find a place you can go that will stir your true gratitude.  The beach, a garden nursery, a view of the mountains.  What is it that stirs you to your soul?  Where is that place?  I dare you to find it in reality or pictures and let it be your place to bring you back to gratitude when life really truly sucks. Henry Ford says it best "whether you think you can or you think you can't, you are right".  My favorite book of encouragement the Bible says "you'll do best by filling your minds and meditation on thing true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious --the best, not the worst: the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. From the Message. 
Gratitude saves lives,
Coach Laurie

    Laurie was a single mom, whose hopes and dreams helped her survive the tough times.  Her dreams are manifesting with the release of a new book Did Not See That Coming.
    But most of all she wants to show women they are ENOUGH!
