I borrowed that title and tweaked it a bit from Dr Wayne Dyer. He wrote a book “Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life”. (Great message)

I 110% believe in the idea our mind, our thoughts, our choices, and our attitude determines our life’s results.

Mediocrity and ‘settling’ will only get you what you ask for.

Being realistic and ‘following suit’ will only get you the same.

‘If you continue to do what you’ve always done, you always get what you’ve always gotten’. A powerful but extremely simple concept that the people of the world can’t quite grasp.

I’m not only a fan of motivational quotes and metaphysical books, but I’m also a fan of Will Smith. I’m a fan for many reasons, but mostly for his outlook, for his attitude, and his sheer drive.

I’ve been witness to his success from the days when he was a low-named, unknown rapper with his partner DJ Jazzy Jeff to the prolific Hollywood icon he is today. I don’t know about you, but he must have done something right? Luck may have played a small part in his success, but his CONTINUED success stems from something greater.

I think he is the walking, talking, breathing representation of what positivity is and what the ‘no-quit’, ‘don’t-settle’, and ‘out-work’ mind set can get you.

Never settle.

Never quit.

The only reason ‘It’s never been done’ is because some quit trying. Surround yourself with this aura and people like this and you’d be amazed at how different and how amazing the world really is.

Happiness is a choice, not a situational result.

 

 

 

Thanks Will.

    My own mom is addicted to self help books. She loves all kinds of positive books kinds stuff. Has been saying stuff like this for years. Some times the only thing you can change is your mind. Funny how the rest of the world will change when you change your outlook? If, this intrigues you, you may like the book "The Sermon on the Mount" by Emmet Fox.

    Another interesting sentence I heard yesterday from a patient (Mind you I work in a psych unit) was "If only I had a nice home, a good job and an understanding boss, then I would be happy" I just walked away. She has no idea how wrong she actually is.

    Sincerely,

  • Thanks Pinky! I personally think the term self-help book is the most popular oxymoron! It is such a misnomer, but thanks for the info!
