Your 7 Day program to Positive Living
Author: Janette Marie Freeman  | Posted: 15-06-2006 | Comments: 0 | Views: 90 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
It's always best to set up a personal goal where you can accomplish the most in record time, maybe like mowing the lawn in an hour before the big game on TV. A correct and positive attitude in whatever you do will make things easier, and even enjoyable.
Here are some tips to make it through the week even if you're just sitting in your favorite couch. An idea takes time to form in your head and is always at work while you are busy sitting.
Having a bit of positive thinking can help you realize things that are never thought possible. Thinking big is indeed the American Way and that what made our country prosperous.
1. Take passionate action towards living your life by design. Talk is cheap. Action = deposits in the bank of a passionately authentic future. Without it, passion is void.
This is a perfect example where dreams are made of where you start by tinkering with your mind, then with your hands. And if the idea weakens, you can always go back to it later until you finish it.
2. Commit to yourself as well as those you love to create powerfully a life you can love. Instead of reacting, commit to creating from your heart and soul, out of love rather than fear. The American Dream will always be there, but a dream will still be a dream without motion. Be amazed as the transformation begins.
3. Recognize and embrace the thought that each moment is perfect regardless of its outcome. Every time you hit on something that may appear too extreme, why not give it a shot and see if it will work. You will be surprised to see of there are other ways to get the task done in time. If you are not pleased with the outcome, decide to use that moment to learn from and make the appropriate shift.
4. Dwell completely in a place of gratitude. Learn to utilize what you have in your hands and make use of it in the most constructive way. Slipping into neediness will become less of a habit when you repeatedly shift towards gratitude, away from poverty consciousness.
5. Use a Passion Formula of Recognize/Reevaluate/Restore in place of the Shoulda/Woulda/Coulda whirlwind. The former is based in increased knowledge and abundance while the latter focuses on scarcity and lack. As you face people or tasks that may seem harder than scaling the summit of the Himalayas, allow yourself to realize that the task is just as important as giving out orders to your subordinates. You would rather be richly passionate!
6. Keep humor at the forefront of thought, laughing at and with yourself when possible. You may find yourself quite entertaining when you loosen up! I am yet to see a comedian ever go hungry even though his jokes are as 'old as great-grandma'. Life has so much to offer to allow you to mope around in self pity. Humor is very attractive, very passionate: life-giving.
7. Believe that you are the architect of your destiny. No one can take your passionate future from you except for you! Create your life authentically. As long as there's still breath in your body, there is no end to how much you can accomplish in a lifetime. The concept of thinking big is all about enjoying your work, which would lead to celebrate a discovery that is born within your hands. Watch everything flow into place with perfect, passionate precision.
It's interesting how people get wallowed up by something trivial as learning to use a computer, when nowadays that top computer companies are manufacturing software that even the kids can do it. I don't mean to be condescending, but that's the idea of not having any positive thinking in your life-you'll just end up as a dim bulb in a dark corner. So instead of subjecting yourself to what you will be doomed for, make your path by taking the first step with a positive attitude.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please, I Need help with my Girlfriend
By: omgitistotallymatt | 21-11-2007
If you have read my earlier threads, i have been talking about my girlfriend and I "touching" so to speak. I have talked with her and found it is against her personal morals to do this sort of thing. While i respect this decision, and I have asked multiple times if it was something else (only to get the reply no), could it be she is insecure, or is she really not ready? Also, being a teenager, I do not totally comprehend the opposite sex, but the only reason why I bring this up is that I have an urge telling me deep down that this is the right thing to do. I know that I should not totally trust it, but I was wondering, could she have the same feeling in her, she is jsut hiding/repressing it?Above all this, I see her this weekend, and personally, I would like to show her a good time, but in order to do this I feel I will have to get her into that "sensual, hot" mood, if you catch my drift, does anyone have any ideas on that.If anyone can help me on this, I am very thankful. I know she loves me, and I love her back, but this urge is starting to kill me a bit inside, so I want to fix it now. Should I ask her if she has the same feelings inside, I have asked her many awkward ?'s and she seems to be ok with them. Thanks for any answers.

Israeli model dies of anorexia!
By: JenniferL | 20-11-2007
When Israeli fashion model Hila Elmalich died last week after years of fighting anorexia, she weighed less than 60 pounds. Her death sent a shockwave through Israel's fashion world. Elmalich, who had been in and out of hospitals for several years, collapsed at home and died Wednesday of heart failure. Do you think Israel should follow Brazil in their quest to make models healthier by requiring them to have a minimum Body Mass Index (BMI)?
How can a married guy obtain multiple sex partners
By: samson | 19-11-2007
A married guy may love his wife, be perfectly content in their marriage (and for all signs of it so is she), but still not be content with the prospect of having only one sex partner "till death does you in".So my question is how can one be married and still get the best of both worlds? This can be viewed as sort of a "what if" question or a brainstorm perhaps.I am looking for a can-do, practical approach. (I will just ignore any judgemental, men-are-pigs type of answers).Bear in mind that I do not restrict the answers to going behind the woman's back - aka being "unfaithful". This has a obvious drawback of living a double-life, and eventaully getting "caught". Perhaps the way to go is via a gradual process where she gradually learns to accept a man's small "vice" away from sight, in return for an otherwise fulfilling relationship?Just a thought, not a must to go in that direction.

Follow up thread, is it time to touch mi gf?
By: omgitistotallymatt | 18-11-2007
Orion, this is the same thread i started earleier, i just want to covey that i believe it is the parents causing this to make her feel "dirty", and how she thinks tht if other people know she will be dirtty. how can i subtly tell her this is not so, and (i will be seeing her soon with mostly alone time) how can I do these things to her so she will become comfertable (the whole touching thing). I feel that she believes that we dont need to do this. We dont, but i feel it would add a whole new level to our relationship. Also, she says she is very mature, and i kno she is, but the thing is, i dont want to hurt her doing this. is there a way to get the point across to her that doing this is perfectly natural, and at the same time getting her to believe me, and me doing it to her to show her that it can be enjoyable., do you catch my drit. I dont want sex, b/c marriage is the only time id do tht. I kno we dont have to do this, but is there a way to get her to believe me. the first time i did it, i kno she enjoyed it, is there a way i kan show her that is ok, so i kan do it again (mayb making her feel aroused in a sense, and if so, how do i go abt doing tht). Just any ideas so i can continue this practice, i feel that we are far enough into our relationship that we should be doing this. Also, we talked about the first insident after it happened, and she was telling me abt how she felt "dirty" and tht it just wasnt right. Hope this helps.Plus, i dont know if this would help, but the first day i tried this, i noticed that wht she was wearing was not the norm, like she wore it to make me feel...well you know. I noticed the stuff she was wearing underneath her pants wasnt boxers, but underware, b/c her pants were basically clear (long story on hwo i kno that, but i sware it is NOT cuz i am a perv) . it is lik she is sending me a mixed message, that she wants me stimulated, but she doesnt wanna be Thank you for yorur help so far. :)

Life Lessons: Unconditional Acceptance
By: Pat Campbell | 20/08/2008
We are all in the same boat living as we are in a duality existence here on earth. We are all comprised of good and bad, generous and mean, sharing and selfish.
