Notable Quote

"The purpose of life is to live it,
to taste experience to the utmost,
to reach out eagerly and without fear
for newer and richer experience."
(Eleanor Roosevelt)

Recommended Read

We are reading a chapter every two weeks from "Feelings Buried Alive Never Die" by Karol K. Truman.

(If you're new to the group, you can pick up a copy of the book and join us, or pick another book you'd like to read and read one chapter every couple of weeks.)

Chapter 2: Energy Vibrations

I'm a firm believer that thoughts and feelings have energy-either positive or negative.
It is one of the primary reasons I advocate that everyone complete the 30-day exercise from the January '06 issue.

" . . . all control begins with taking control of the feelings we hold in our heart, because these feelings determine the thoughts we hold in our conscious mind."

To move forward in a quest for change, there has to be a change in the way we think about whatever it is we want changed. People have literally transformed themselves by having a "change of heart". It's not just a cliche.

"Everything we are today is the sum total of all the feelings we have had to this moment."

Something happens. We have a certain feeling that comes from the event. Our feelings trigger whatever is stored in our mind about those set of circumstances. We react by making a decision. Our current life state is a result of those reactions/decisions.

There was a lady who commented on a writing of mine. She basically said some people have circumstances they didn't choose and it may be very difficult to change them. I wrote her back with the question "So, you didn't make any decision or choice that lead you to your current circumstances? You were forced in some manner against your will"?

"If what is happening to us now, both physically and emotionally, is undesirable, our feelings and our thoughts are what need fixing."

Understanding the origins of our thoughts and feelings, and determining whether they serve us well or not, is what we must do in order to stop the cycle of repeat conditions in our life. Otherwise our circumstances will repeat themselves. It may be with a different person, a different illness, or another type of financial disaster, but our personal history will repeat itself until we learn from it and make changes.

I found the "Doing Something About It" formula simple and easy to follow steps to begin recognizing thoughts and feelings so we can begin changing them.
