It’s easy to be fearful, but does that thinking serve you?

Last week my email touched a chord with people.

I received more positive comments on that email than any I’ve written before.

One person even read my email to a group at work in a Zoom meeting!

With that in mind, I’m writing a second part to the email.

This has been a challenging year with rising inflation and interest rates,

a broad economic slowdown, a housing slowdown – we have seen it all, and all at once.

Through it all, there is one thing that we can control – our mindset.

How we think.

You see our thoughts give us an unlimited amount of possible outcomes.

What we imagine is pure potential and the possibilities are endless.

That is why it is more important than ever that we take control of our thoughts and turn them from negative to positive.

For example, it is easy to be fearful and think about the worst-case financial scenario like losing your job, your business, your home, etc.

For some reason we can easily picture the worst happening – but, that is not what is best for us.

On average, our brains think 98% of the same things we thought yesterday, and 80% of those thoughts are negative.

Instead, we want to imagine the best possible outcome for ourselves and express gratitude for receiving it.

That helps us eliminate fear, because fear and gratitude cannot exist in our mind at the same time.

Fear is a low, base emotion and gratitude is a high vibrational emotion.

Fear keeps you down.

Gratitude lifts you up and lets you see the possibilities to succeed.

Since our thoughts are pure potential and we can choose the outcome that we want, using gratitude to give thanks in advance of receiving your desire is powerful.

And, it works. Try it.

Give thanks and show the excitement you would have if you achieved the outcome you wanted.

Jump up and down, scream with joy and shake your fists in the air because you did it!

Feel grateful for receiving your best outcome.

All possibilities are open to you and you are selecting the one you want.

Whatever you believe with certainty you will accomplish, you will.
