I say yes yes and another yes. Since I started my business I knew that I need to know all there was about having your own business. then I need to know all there was about creating the life I want. What i learned these passed few months is, I have the keys to my own personal happiness, success, and wealth. That i can create the kind of life I want and world I live in just by changing the way i see things. By looking for the good in people and things and never focusing on any of the bad. I stopped reading the paper and watching the news. I say affirmations and pray a few times a day. I focus on my business growing and myself and my family being healthy and happy. I make sure I see the beauty in all things. Honestly I wish I have known this years ago. but I know it today and today I am the happiest woman in the whole world. So are you willing to change your mind so you can change your life?

Absolutely! One thing that I had discovered about life is that it is all about the choices we made. I remember a quote that says that " Be miserable.Or motivate yourself. At the end it's all about the choices we made." Our mind is one of the most dangerous organ in our body. It's because, we allow ourselves to entertain thoughts that should not be entertained.

we allow ourselves to entertain those thoughts. We have to learn to choice different thoughts. when i have a negative thought start to creep into my mind I say... "If God be for me, who can be against me... i can do all things with the God power that stregthens me. Success is mine, Wealth is mine. Thank you Father." I say that over and over until that thought is gone and all i can think about is how much God loves me and I grateful I am to be loved

we allow ourselves to entertain thoughts is a fact, unknown to our knowledge. some unknowingly step into some situation who ever thinks that it is taking them into a deep valley. Hope and +ve thoughts are the only help that they can skip those situations. We have to learn to choice different thoughts. Life happens, we improve our knowledge according to our scope of environment. some may be gifted to improve their knowledge beyond the scope of others. choosing happens according to the scope of knowledge. beyond scope is just a luck or to say hoping to be the best. Life doesn't wait until the knowledge is 100%. Sometimes we need to take decisions only on hope. if it fails to achieve, then we should not say we ran with a -ve thought. there are ups and downs in Life. we must know them to take care when we move further. A say, failures are stepping stones to success. take everything for your own experience. Feel every bad and good. Live and let others to live.

life is alway going to be full of ups and downs. how you react to them determines who you become. Life is full of Gods love, harmony, beautiful and riches beyong your wildest dreams if you only change you mind! saying things like "we are just lucky or we hope for the best." there is no such thing as luck. We create the life we want by the thoughts we think. that's it. it's not hard to think happy thoughts. it's not hard to think that life is amazing and you are worthy of amazing things. it's not hard to know that God loves you and only wants the best for you!!! try it... and watch your life change

First off, congratulations on being the happiest woman in the world! That's a very enviable position! Secondly, congratulations for having the courage to change your mind and go through with it. I believe this too, but I still haven't found the courage to do it yet. Maybe someday.

bounce it doesn't take courage my wonderful friend. it jsut takes you knowing that you are worthy of all great things. it just takes you saying that you are a great person who can have everything you want. just focus on all the wonderful things you see in your life. allow them to be what you think about all the time! you will see how you get more and more things to be happy about and see more beauty everyday

Yes, I agree. At one point, I was so discouraged by not being able to make the money I used to make. Then it was as if I heard a voice saying "It's up to you!" It took awhile to get the idea, but it's really true - it's up to me and I can do just as much or as little toward it as I want to.

i have to say that i am always open to changes, to knowing the difference of the right and wrong, the good and the bad and the things we cannot change... but we can change not only our minds, but ourselves and become better and become bolder and become more knowledgeable and have more wisdom too. :D changes starts with ourselves and i believe it will most probably do us more good than harm.

No matter what I am going thru I always try to do this myself as well. I know many times no matter what we are going thru our mind thought process is what will either make us or break us, and we have to be in control every step of the way. We also need to stay strong, keep focused, and Pray to God for strength to help see us thru every step of the way. In whatever our Goals and Dreams are for our life when we stay focused and determined great things will happen and it will be all worth while. Wishing you the Best.

Hi 34momma. First of all, I would like to congratulate you for having a good life and experiencing a peace of mind within yourself and to your whole family. I hope your business will continue to grow and that you will also be able to inspire more people by sharing this story of yours and by staying positive all the time. :) It is really true that once we change our mind or our perception in life, everything starts to change. Our world and reality depends on how we look at it and how we think of the things around us. There's a verse in the Bible that says "whatever a man thinketh, so is he." That's also what the Law of attraction said that negative attracts negative while positive attracts positive. Like you, I also changed and started to 'change my mind' and 'look at things the different way'. It feels waaaaay much better than worrying about stuff and having some negative thoughts. Of course we can't avoid that but if ever I face troubles in life, I call on to God and quotes on some of the Bible verses like "God has not given me the spirit of fear but of power, love, and peace of mind (2 Tim 1:7) and "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Seek His will in everything that you do, and He will direct your paths (Prov. 3:5-6). Have a nice day and God bless! :))

34momma yes I think I could as this is positive thinking and I am told it draws the good to you not the negative.Seeing the good is people sure would help in starting a business.I like the idea of affirmations and praying too. But what business could a physically handicapped elderly woman start,wonder, have to think on that one. Thats why I am mylotting for friendship and to earn enough to pay my cable internet bill lol.My husband God love him was the ultimate cockeyed optimist and thats what I miss in my long widowhood that optimism. I need to learn that again.So I really do need to get rid ot my pessimism as it is not good for me at all. glad you are doing so well.Glad to see you backon the mylot here.

Man proposes God disposes. If we want to improve ourselves, we have to change it. We have to work our head off to achieve what we want to achieve. Many people remain poor for the simple reason that they think it is their fate to become poor.

For me its still depends on you. We change our minds based on our current situations and mostly to our own advantages. Changing your life for me is another thing. It not only involve changing your mind but lots of things. Like planning, decision making, actions, beliefs, perseverance, consistency etc.. For me what is important is that we our happy with our lives and if not start changing your mind and change your life.

what ever the mind can conceive it can achieve, i can say whats really running on your mind or whats on your mind.. it is the preview of life coming attraction. if you really want to make things change then you can change it.. its up to you on how you do it on your life, you are the the masterpiece of your on life, be very careful on your thoughts.. when you visualize then you materialize if you've been there in the mind you'll go there in the body.. and if you believe you can , you can see it, if you act from it,it will show you up for you, that's the truth,, so careful about your thoughts thats the reality, take care and God bless you
