A friend shared this quote  the other day.  It fits well with my own post of yesterday and so I wanted to highlight the quote and explore its meaning a little.

“Your mind is a powerfull thing.  When  you fill it with positive thoughts your life will start to change” –  Zig Ziglar, motivational speaker

Your Most Powerfull Tool

We all use tools to help us achieve our goals.  From a rake to a car we use tools to help us carry out a paticular function.  Things we probably could do without the tool become easier and usually are done with a higher quality when the tool is employed.

You can get from A to B without a car or get all the dead grass off your lawn without a rake, but I can’t imagine doing either of those things without some tool.  There are so many available.

Your mind can be used for many functions (a multi-use tool if you will) yet so many of us ignore the potential uses.  Frankly we take our minds for granted.

Many don’t even view their mind as a tool that we can employ to assist us.   Time and again athletes are quoted as saying “it wasn’t the skates, or the stick or the bike; I focused my mind on the achievement, that was the critical factor” .

So you want to be happy and successful, start with your mind.  It’s yours to command, take charge, visualize the positive and it will be yours.   Don’t wait, start now.

(If you achieve monetary success as a result of the concepts noted in this post, remember I am not adverse to financial gratuity.)
