Intentional action in the direction of your dream will change the way you think and change the way you feel. It will change everything and you will never be the same again. Make today a forward movement in the direction you want to go! It doesn't take a lot although what you give is up to you but it does take the discipline to be intentional and consistent.

Here's a powerful quote by James Allen (also found in Proverbs) that helps me (Cindy) check my mindset and what I'm thinking about.

"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." - James Allen

And prompts me to ask myself specific questions like these:

Is my thinking serving me well?

Is this taking me in a positive direction?

Is this what I want?

Am I allowing the Law of Diminishing Intent to creep in?  In case you are not familiar, the Law of Diminishing Intent says, the longer we delay doing something, the less likely we are to do it.

This is all about the creeps!  What are you allowing yourself to think about?  Even the smallest positive shift in your thinking instantly makes your day better by keeping perspective on the things that bring joy and light into your life.  And much of the time reminds us it was right there all along.

What are you allowing yourself to think on today? The way we think determines the direction of our life and often the lives of those counting on us. The good news is we can re-direct our thinking any time we choose!  For more on mindset and growth, join our complimentary Intentional Action for Ongoing Growth courses here!
