"A Trained Mind"
  

     If there is one thing which I could say is absolutely essential to succeeding financially, as well as I am sure many wealthy men and women would say, it would be that "we need to have our inward state of being in a place of harmony if we are truly going to rise and succeed the way we dream of." I cannot tell you how many times I have seen in both my life, and in the lives of others, negative thinking take over and things from that point on, taking a downward turn for the worse. The reality is that it all starts in the mind. The mind is the storage center, the central command station and the place where we think, create and reason. Because it is so important, it's rightly so that we ought to be giving our mind's the utmost of attention in every good and godly way. There are so many things that we can do to keep or even return or minds to being sharp. Yet each and every way requires some time and effort, which will obviously be well spent and worth it.

      One of the key aspects regarding this topic is something which Napolean Hill speaks of in his wonderful book: "Think and Grow Rich." It also comes up in the book: "As a Man Thinketh," by Richard Allen, which is an incredible book, much along the same lines. The basic premise of them being that "as we choose to perpetually think and meditate in ongoing positive manner, concerning: what we desire, who we will become and the things we will achieve, we will eventually step into those very positive realities." The bible even speaks of this by saying: "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." Both continual positive thinking and continual positive speaking can turn negative circumstances around in a jiffy! For the word of God also says that: "Life and death are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit." As we speak forth those positive things which we desire to see take place, which are not just selfish things, but that which will also ultimately help others too, we will see these things come about. This is solid truth.

    So if you have been desiring to see yourself rise up and succeed, but have just felt stuck, then I encourage you to get a copy of: "Think and Grow Rich" and "As a Man Thinketh," read them and then begin: thinking, meditating and speaking the most positive things you can possibly think of and speak out, in a continuous manner, without quitting and God has already made His promises which I have shared. Even if we have to put up notes around our houses, in our cars, and at work to remind ourselves to do this, we do not want to forget, because this can literally change our lives tremendously for the better!

To our success,
