Attitudes produce actions whether we want them to or not! Either positive or negative.An attitude of grattitude goes a long way in changing ALL areas of our lives.You have a good website and I have watched 'the secret'...good stuff.

Aaron is right in saying that people we avoid things that cause us pain and then do the things that cause us joy.
The biggest issue is figuring out who you are. At least it was for me.
Society has us doing things just for the sake of doing them. But is it really the way we should be living? I don't think so.
Change isn't comfortable. I realized this early on in my own personal development.
I think that life feels hard at times because we aren't sure who we are,
Where we are going or how we are going to get there.
But, when we start to look for 'it' we can't miss it.
The biggest journey is figuring it out and cultivating the willingness to see the answers even when they are "outside the box".
Try asking yourself the questions that will lead you where you want to go. The truth will reveal itself.
So many of us are instinctively afraid of change, but its unrealistic to think that we wont.
We change and grow every day even if sometimes we are kicking and screaming. =)
Our values, concerns, dreams and needs all change in time. I think you just need to focus, on yours.
Simply put, if you want to change the way your life is you have to change the way you react to life. The majority of people on change things when they are forced to but the truth is, some of the small changes you can make, now, in your life might be uncomfortable for a short period of time but that is how you know you are doing something right.
Stop doing the things you continually do just because you want to maintain. You won’t get results, the level of frustration will just keep adding up.
Eventually you will have to choose whether to make a change or give up all together. A person's ability to succeed will be largely dependant on their ability to adapt (deal with discomfort and change). -Read: Who moved my Cheese
It can be frantic and breath taking on our own personal journey.
But it's just that, our own journey. Don't worry about doing what is expected.
The quest for self knowledge is forever. Sometimes we look with discomfort and disbelief at the person we once were.
Don't try to please everyone- that is the key to failure.
Ask yourself, who would I be if I wasn't a ________?
Ask yourself, what would I be doing if I wasn't doing _______?
In that, you will start to find your purpose. Once you find that you will see that life isn't so hard. It's just a matter of using the challenges to grow. Your outlook and the way you live will change.
Life, relationships, careers, emotions, business markets, technologies, philosophies, environments are all in a constant state of evolution. This is part of the problem; we are creatures of habit and we like familiarity; we like 'same'.
We like the benefits of change, but we don't like the process.
But it's the process, not the results, from where the real benefits come. Jim Rohn says, "For what it will make of me to achieve it."

Hi mountainmom5,
Sometimes attitudes or perceived beliefs lead us into
NO ACTION at all.
Why ? Because of that trait that creeps in now and again called
"Procrastination". Let's be truthful, we have all procrastinated at some stage in
our lives. If we were to invite change more frequently just imagine what we WILL acheive.
Let's win!

Hi there Liz,
Life is a journey, you touch on this with your words.
For me my life got a big jolt in 2002, when I voluntarily left a good job, getting good money which I had been doing for 7 years.
I had decided to become a full-time student in business and finish a diploma I had started years ago.
Can you imagine what I felt like when I told the boss, who was younger than me that I was leaving.
........my skin was twitching, I was filled with fear. I did'nt have a clue on how I would support myself, but I did know it just had to be done.
This was a critical turning point in my life. I went on to get that diploma and am now completing my network marketing apprenticeship.
The journey may not be on a straight road and along the way we may take a detour off the beaten track, but if we just have faith and belief in our own abilities, we will make it, I truly believe this.
Let's win!
Aaron Riddell

Here is something that Brian Adams sent out that I liked and it was thought provoking!!You can get his free email when you go to his website at http://EndlessPossibilities.net
Planting Seeds and Taking Action!
"The seeds that you plant will eventually produce the fruit of your actions. Eat them and enjoy; or cut them open and examine them so that you may learn and grow. "
Every action causes an effect, once a rock is thrown into a lake, it produces ripples that cannot be stopped. Even if you change your mind and wish you could take back the rock, it's too late, you can not stop the ripples.
Close your eyes and picture throwing a rock into a lake. Watch the ripples as they spread across the lake. Take 30 seconds and do this now.
Did you close your eyes and picture it?
Every action you take has a ripple effect. Every action! Whether its ripples from a rock thrown in a lake or ripples from a thought you had that produces electrical impulses that vibrate through the universe.
Have you ever set up dominoes just so you can tip the first one over? What happens?
Tipping over that first domino is taking action. Thinking about tipping over that domino is planting the seed.
That's why its so important to control your thoughts. Every thought is a seed. The more seeds you plant (the more thoughts you have on a subject) the better the chance of you taking action becomes.
If you have a garden and want to grow corn, you don't just dig a hole and put in one seed of corn. You dig a hole and put in 6 or 8 seeds of corn.
The more seeds you plant the better your chances are of growing something. If you plant enough seeds whether you want to or not something is going to grow.
If you have taken action no matter how recent or how long ago it may have been, and you don't like the direction in which the ripples are flowing you cannot stop them but you can easily change their direction by tacking a different action.
It's that easy!
Picture again throwing a rock into a lake; see the ripples? Picture throwing another rock into those ripples; no matter where you throw the rock it will produce another set of ripples that will change the flow of the first.
There are so many people riding the waves and ripples from actions they took long ago. They are heading in directions they don't want to go in and wondering how they ended up with that life.
There are also people living the life of their dreams.
If you are living the life of your dreams then drink up and enjoy, you have earned it. If you are not living the life of your dreams then look back at the past seeds that you have planted and at the actions you have taken. Learn from them, plant new seeds, take different actions and start achieving any thing your heart can imagine.
Happy planting!!

Hello mountainmom5
Interesting food for thought.
You can also take another view of "seeds". Those of us that have a team or downline can view these people as seeds.
Some will not grow at all and die off, some will grow a little and then disappear at the first sight of bad weather, some will strive even in drought.
As mentors we need to realise this will happen not all seeds wll grow. But just imagine if that one seed turned into a huge tree one day.
......Jim Rohn talks about "The Law of Sowing & Reaping" on his CD Building Your Network Marketing Business its worth a listen if you can get hold of a copy.
Life is great!

Amen Aaron!
That is actually what the writer was referring to, in the seed analogy... to keep sowing 'seeds' in our business, but I have been able to apply it to other areas of my life as well!Like, for instance , into the lives of my 5 kids..
Life is great,indeed!

| I think the results of your actions are determined by the attitude in which you performed them. Meaning if you had a bad attitude while taking action on something, your results reflect that of a bad attitude. You most likely did not accomplish your desired result and vise versa.

| Whatever goes in, goes out! You become the product of your environment. When I figured this out I started listening to people that had in life what i wanted.

Your Thoughts

As the Good old book the bible puts it "Faith without works is dead". In that regard I don't care how positive your attitude is if you don't act then your attitude alone won't get you what u want. So you need both a good or positive attitude and action to succeed in any thing you endeavor.
