Positive Thoughts

It is exciting to know that my thoughts and my actions in the present moment condition the next moment. I am responsible for my future. Today I am bringing awareness to my self-talk and replacing all negative thoughts with positive thoughts as soon as they appear on my mindscape.

Detachment

Detachment is the difference between emotional involvement and emotional awareness. Detachment allows you to see your emotions as they form, develop, intensify, and change.

Choices

Today I will witness the choices I make in each moment.  And in the mere witnessing of these choices, I will bring them to my conscious awareness. (Deepak Chopra, The Seven Spiritual Laws Of Success, p. 46)

Learning doesn't seem to get any easier.  The new computer allows me to explore many things I wasn't able to investigate when I was using the old computer with its severe limitations.  Now I always feel like I am playing catch-up.  This week I've worked on several projects:

• WordPress
• BookCrossing
• YouTube Playlists
• Posting links on Mr. Dickie's Blog to:
• WordPress
• Google Docs
• BookCrossing

I'm using WordPress to create a private blog where I can do some journaling with the computer.  For the last several years I have been putting my daily journal entries on yellow legal-size paper.  I usually do most of this writing in the morning.  I plan to continue this practice.  After I bought a used book about WordPress I started thinking about how I could learn about the application.  That's when the thought came to me that a good project might be to create a private blog. My friend in Illinois, Job Conger, has been using WordPress for his public blog Honey and Quinine for a long time.

Awareness

There is a proper balance between not asking enough of oneself and asking or expecting too much. (May Sarton in The Book Of Choices by Mike Magee, M.D., p. 187)

And true humility comes when we face ourselves and see our weakness, our selfishness, our failures in work and in personal relationships and in achievement. (William Barclay, The Letters to the Ephesians, p. 136)

Awareness is the greatest agent for change. (Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth, p. 99)
