Thought Provoking Ideas
(Copyright 2000 - 2010 By Carol James)

• There are infinite variations in how people see any single event.
• The way I choose to see an event determines my experience. My experience is determined by the way I see an event. I can choose to see an event in a way that uplifts me or diminishes me.
• I am who I think I am. I am my own thoughts about myself made manifest.
• Whatever I focus on expands, giving me more of that which I am focused on.
• I will always find evidence to support the thoughts I am having.
• My thoughts, words, feelings and actions set the tone for the circumstances of my life.
• When I set my own tone, I can be anywhere and with anyone and still live exactly the life I am wanting.
• True faith comes from knowing that no matter what things look like, all is well and will turn out for the best.
• Nothing stays the same. All conditions and circumstances are temporary, and how they change depends on the choices I make.
• Nothing is more important than that the choices I make feel right to me.
• The greatest gifts I can give myself are to think for myself and to form my own conclusions.
• Filtering choices through my heart produces experiences that enrich and uplift myself and others.
• I have an inner self that exists eternally.
• My inner self is communicating with me all the time and in many ways. If I don't pay attention, then I will miss its messages.
• Feelings, language of the inner self, operate as a guidance system.
• There are really only two emotions: one feels good (love-based) and one does not (fear-based). Everything else is a variation on one of those two emotions.
• Instinct and intuition are natural guidance from my inner self and worth paying attention to.
• To want something while observing its lack is to push it away from me.
• What I fear I attract. What I resist persists.
• Appreciation and feeling bad cannot exist in the same moment.
• When I do what I love, I love what I do.
