There is no doubt that our outer lives are the result of our inner thoughts  and belief systems. I also understand this is probably not news to you. However, what may be news is that we can condition our thought and change our circumstances, no matter where we are in life.

I think that most of you, my readers, know that I like to be reading books and manuals to make sure that I am always giving to my mind, nutrients like a gardener would tend their garden. In a similar way, I am making sure that I am always nourishing my soul and mind and reading daily. It is very valuable and I just this morning, read a book on the Millionaire Mindset. It was not actually new information, but was so well presented that it forced me to think about the subject in a new light.

This is the very point that I want to make, in that we are all able to learn from different perspectives and that is very important indeed. If I can give you just  one tip today, it is to make a point of reading at least one chapter in a book daily. If you are not a voracious reader, this may seem an onerous task, but I think you will find that you will quickly reach this goal and also start to enjoy and look forward to each successive reading session,. I know I certainly do, and even though I read for pleasure and learning, the learning happens almost automatically and the pleasure is just there. 

I am so grateful for the love of reading as it has allowed  me to really open my eyes to the wonders of the world. I think it would be unlikely if I would be able to say that I have come as far as I have had I not been a reader of as much material as I do read already.  

It is for this very reason that I am hoping to inspire you to read and take up this very important task which I truly wish for you to become a habit.

I have heard it said that for a habit to form, we need to do perform a task repetatively for a period of 21 days. At that point, it is a habit, and if you imagine a typical book having  ten chapters, that is two books read in twenty one days. Imagine the amount of knowledge you will be able to acquire and enact in the period of a year.

I think you get my point here- I genuinely wish for you to manage a successful transition from non reader to reader of you are not reading as much as you should be. 

I know that you have probably already heard this on more than one occasion, but really, it does make a big difference, and I wanted to make sure that I reminded you about it. It is so important to never allow ourselves to be over awed t the point where we make rash and stupid decisions.

I certainly know about sometimes being faced with an adverse situation, and thinking that's it. Fortunately, I have found, that in my case, at any rate, a walk in the open, fresh air, lets me think more clearly, and reflect on different perspectives. I know it may seem over rated, and old hat, but really, take the time to think carefully about things, and see if you can figure out alternative solutions. It is so easy to get caught, or stuck in a rut of thinking, where we simply can not see the forest for the tress.  

I have taken the time to affirm my ability to solve all, and be inspired to come to conclusions that are based on clear thought.

Essentially, what I'm trying to say is that even though some situations may seem hopeless at times, they are often not too bad, when we reflect on a more global scale. Putting it another way, by taking the time to apply affirmation in our lives, we can more easily see the benefits in so many thinsg as well.

This is where I am coming from, and where I'd like to help you get too.

I had a situation arise recently where I felt really concerned, almost cornered. No one can think clearly in that mind frame. Hence, I took the opportunity to share the problem with someone, and then was able to relax more, and ended up coming up with a solution to help resolve the issue.  This is where it all comes down to…

Allow yourself the space to really have faith, and know that you have all you need to get through anything. Just have belief in yourself, and a higher power. There really is something to it all…
