Thoughts Control Our Destiny

It's been said that our thoughts lead to actions which form habits, which shape our character, which mold our destiny. The following insightful blogs cover different aspects of thought and its impact on our lives. Life really is all in how we think about it...

Leave the Past Behind and Intend Great Things!
Sandy Reed, small business expert, says, "My childhood was what some would call dysfunctional. My father died in an auto accident when I was seven years old, and my grief stricken mother never totally recovered from the loss. My brother and I lived with alcohol, and sometimes abuse, as a way of life. But that was a long time ago..." In this blog entry she talks about the importance of learning from and letting go of the past.

How to Know if You’re Close to The Victory
Prosperity expert, Leslie Householder, compares our dreams to giving birth. "This analogy helps us comprehend how we could possibly know whether we are close to finally achieving a goal or reaching our dream."

Thoughts also affect our children and who they become in the end...

Are you parenting with consciousness?
"I think that firstly, we must focus on what our children will become, not what they will do. We focus as parents far too much on what our children will do when they grow up, rather than thinking about who they will be. Some parents will go to great lengths to ensure their children get all they need to get a good career, yet spend little time thinking about their character. We seemed to think that character is something that is maintained in our children and we only have to do a few things to keep it. It is not! It is something that is built from scratch and we, as the parents, are the main teachers. Instead of thinking of what type of job or career we want our children to have, we should start thinking of the values we want them to have, of the morals we want they to abide by and of the character traits we want them to possess. When we start thinking of character instead of career, we can make different choices." Sarah Newton Parenting Teens Expert
