Become Familiar

You attract what you are willing to accept. And you are willing to accept that with which you are the most familiar.

You are the most familiar with the things upon which you focus the energy of your thoughts. So where are you directing those thoughts in this moment?

Are your thoughts filled with worry about what you do not want? Then you'll soon grow to accept those undesirable things as inevitable, and attract them into your life.

Instead, fill your thoughts with eager anticipation for the good and desirable things you know are possible. That will open you to accept those blessings, and they will then flow into your life.

Through your thoughts you become familiar with life's various possibilities. Through your thoughts you convince yourself to accept and embrace certain specific possibilities.

With your thoughts, become intimately familiar with the exact details of the life you wish to lead. And those details will surely assemble themselves into the meaningful life you seek.

"It's all in your head" my mother used to say. And "you can do anything you set your mind to." "I think I can, I think I can, thought the Little Engine that Could" was a regular at bedtime in my house.

As usual, my mother was right. Life is all about attitude and the more positive my thoughts, the better my day goes. Even on my bad days, sometimes just having a sense of humour helps, sometimes using it as the excuse I need to just take quiet time for me.

I have choices on what thoughts I allow to occupy my mind. Just for today I won't dwell on the bad thoughts but instead let my mind smile remembering what my mama taught me.

Hugs
