Thoughts Are Things!
“Life is like a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.” – Ernest Holmes
You become your dominant thoughts…
You drive up to a stop light, put your blinker on, and think, “I need to turn right.”
Do you turn left?
No, not unless you have a serious brain tick!
The point is, we move constantly in the direction of what we think about.
Imagine These Thoughts
Imagine relaxing on a beautiful island beach with white sand, gentle waves, and endless blue skies. It’s not too hot. There’s a small breeze blowing. Life is good.
That’s a great thought, isn’t it?
Now, picture yourself walking home at midnight down a dark alley, between two very tall buildings, stepping over sleeping, passed-out drunks with nothing to protect you, but a week’s worth of 5th grade karate classes.
Feels a little different in the back alley than it does on the island beach, doesn’t it?
Your Mind Makes a Living
Sales people are especially vulnerable to the steering of the mind’s thoughts.
We make a living by controlling our mind AND controlling (or at least guiding) the thoughts of our prospect.
If you can’t control your own thoughts, how will you ever make a living in this business?
Negative Thoughts Lead to Negative Bank Accounts
Everything you’ve been saying lately is negative…
I can’t, they won’t, it’s too hot, too wet, not the right time, they’re broke, my company sucks, they suck, I suck, we all suck…
On and on it goes… you drive yourself straight into the ditch before you ever get going for the day.
Well, isn’t some of it true?
Maybe.
I don’t know.
Probably is true.
So what if it is true?
Mind Control
Fact is, there’s a lot of sorry things going on in the world if you wanted to stop and think about all of them.
For instance, you woke your kids up this morning with a hug and a kiss.
Thousands of kids went to sleep last night deathly hungry, without a parent to tuck them in, without a bed to sleep in, and the worst part is, they didn’t wake up this morning.
There’s nobody to bury them, no funeral service because there’s no loved one’s to gather, and there’s no money to pay for a proper burial.
You’ll spend more on your morning coffee this week than what it takes to keep them alive for a solid month.
Not exactly what you want to think about, is it?
But it’s true!

Control.
Your.
Mind.
Peace,
