I am amazed at how many people I talk to who keep telling
themselves that life is complicated and tough.
I have spent the last three months reading and re-reading Covey’s – 7
Habits of Highly Effective People as part of a research project. One of my
favorite quotes from the book is – “we do not see the world as it is but as we
are!” And like Henry Ford’s quote says, I don’t doubt for one minute that for
these people in particular their lives are just that – complicated and
tough! However, there really is a choice
for your life and guess what – it’s really that simple.
So many great writers of the past have told us time and
again that how we think determines our life, our reality. Recently I started following the work of John
Kehoe, who is one of those writers. I find
his way of explaining how our mind works to be anything short of amazing. Kehoe
stresses that our circumstances and situations never keep us down – it is our
thoughts that keep us stuck.
So learn to regularly feed your consciousness so that your
situation can change – it’s really that simple! Change your thoughts and feed
them daily, just like tending a garden Kehoe says, and harvest the rewards of a
well-maintained mind.
