Success - Quote of the Day

“Success is the point where your most authentic talents, passion, values, and experiences intersect with the chance to contribute to some greater good. ”

“”I’m doing this because I want to change the planet and I want to do it with you…”

- Bill Strickland

Bill Strickland established Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild in 1968 to help combat the effects of economic and social devastation experienced by the youth of his inner-city Pittsburgh neighborhood. Just as the introduction to art had helped to change the course of his life, Strickland hoped art would inspire similar change in his community. Located in a residential row house, Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild initially offered informal ceramics classes and a small exhibition space. For more information click here

Personal Development Quote of the Day

“I once wrote down every thought I had for about an hour. I was stunned and amazed at how one thought led to another in this long string of seemingly unrelated ideas.”

THOUGHTS - EMOTIONS - VISUALIZATIONS

What is the relationship between thoughts, emotions and visualization ?

Visualization is the process of creating compelling and vivid pictures in your mind. Creative visualization is visualizing a mental image of a desired object or situation.

Going back to the Law of Attraction, I attract to my life whatever I give my energy, attention and focus, whether wanted or unwanted - by visualizing a mental image of a desired object or situation, I can attract it into my life.

Feelings and emotions put life into thoughts and create powerful visualization. Thoughts that are charged with emotional energy have greater affect.

We can choose our thoughts. Our thoughts can affect our emotions.
We can choose our emotions. Our emotions can affect our thoughts.
By choosing our thoughts and emotions we can create powerful, supercharged visualizations and powerful results.

Remember, thoughts become things.

Personal Development Quote of the day.

‘It is possible to break the brain’s wired-together neuronets, change habits and gain freedom. The key lies in the brain’s natural ability to form new connections. Neuroplasticityis the brain’s ability to form new connections.
Chasse and Vincente - What the Bleep Do We Know

I want to emphasize change habits and gain freedom. Personal development is about changing habits - hopefully for the better. Who you are is based on what you have done and who you will be is based on what you are doing now. Small changes in habit, create changes in life trajectory, and magnified over time can produce huge change - freedom.

Personal Development Quote of the Day

“What if your ability to experience health, happiness,abundance, prosperity, riches, loving, caring, sharing, learning, knowing what you want, opportunity, enjoying and balance were limited by only your ability to receive? What if each of these qualities were available to you in infinite supply, and the only thing limiting you were the size of your container.”
Roger and McWilliams in Wealth 101 - Getting What You Want - Enjoying What You Got

You are the container. This is what personal development is all about.
