Favorite Inspirational Quotes

Our minds become magnetized with the dominating thoughts we hold in our minds, and these magnets attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.

Napoleon Hill

I think this is a pretty good explanation of the Law of Attraction and why it’s so important to be careful of your thoughts.

I have been a pretty miserable person the last few days being depressed and angry.  As I’ve said before, I do this journaling mostly for me because I’m the one needing self-improvement.   If anyone else finds this blog and benefits, good for both of us and I am grateful.

However, I wallowed in the depression rather than getting over it and getting on with what I really want.  Not such a good example to anyone.

Sure enough, all those dark thoughts attracted bad stuff into my life in the shape of several problems I now need to work through, fix, and overcome.  Only I can pull me out of this.

Doing that starts with the advice in this quote.  To attract light and solutions I must magnetize my mind with possibility thinking and searching for the silver lining.  I need to remember that “who knows whether what is happening is good or bad”.

This is a good time, too, to enumerate all I have to be grateful for as gratitude can also help get my mind thinking better thoughts. I certainly have lots of blessings and one would wonder how I could ever be gloomy when counting them all.

Just wish I hadn’t been such a gloomy gus lately and put all this into practice earlier.  But what’s done is done and the past cannot be changed.  I have to start here, now, with what I have.  Maybe next time, I will catch myself and my dark thoughts earlier and practice what I have learned.
