Thoughts are Things - Use Them Wisely

Years ago I was involved in a year long Leadership Development Course. I was first a student and then staffer for many years after-wards. The course was a powerful leaders training course in many, many ways  and my goal is to share with all of you some of powerful ideas of the course, along our journey together. My now husband was also a student and staffer of the course. We were friends for many years before we married. Because of this powerful teaching course, our mindset is very similar as is our way of seeing life and situations and simply 'knowing' what is right for us as a couple and individuals.  We both know that 'To Think Is To Create'.  I ran across the below words of wisdom today...... and it rings true to this day.

 

"The trouble is not in changing thought but in keeping thoughts changed."

Hi Anna,
My husband and I met in a 2-year leadership program.  Change is going to happen whether we want it to or not.  We can either make the dust or get left in the dust.

Great post, Anna.... at the end of the day, we are what we think and our thoughts can totally determine the course of our lives and decisions.

I love that quote, Anna!

Myrl Jeffcoat you'd be surprised how many people have this mind set to going back to whatever it is that caused the 'whatever' the first place. They dig in deep and re-think and re-think etc and won't give it up because they want to be 'right' or whatever .....like that saying from Dr Phil - how's that working for you (with a straight face of course).

Keeping you mind open to new ideas is the key to growth.  Great quote.  So many people are rigid and that prevents them from embracing new things.  Thanks for the reminder today!

Thoughts are so powerful...both positive and negative. Learning to use them to your benefit is key!

If there's one industry where this mindset is vitally important ... it's real estate, Anna Banana Kruchten CRB, CRS 602-380-4886.  Be incapable or unwilling to change or think beyond the norm and you kill or stifle your success.  You provide excellent food for thought ... and much wisdom!

I so love this post, Anna. Bernie and I support one another in this mindset - and we "gently" remind each other if we notice some thoughts forming that might not be helpful in creating what we actually want at the moment, or for life in general.
