I stated in another thread that the person who is not successful in life is one who thinks bad thoughts.

In the thinking of bad thoughts, you attract to your experience disease and misfortune. That is dis-ease and missed fortune.

If a thought feels bad, then it is bad and it is dangerous to your life and to your health.

BUT EXACTLY WHAT ARE BAD THOUGHTS AND HOW DO YOU RECOGNIZE THEM?

Bad thoughts are thoughts that cause you to FEEL BAD.

Thoughts like:
"I'll never loose weight.."

Might make you feel out of control, lazy, gluttonous, and depressed thinking that you look bad, feel tired, etc.

Thoughts like:
I'm just getting too old...

Might make you feel useless, hopeless, unworthy, unwanted, over the hill, unattractive, having no future, unable to work, worried, etc. on and on.

Thoughts like, I can't afford that, nobody likes me, everyone is against me, I can't find a job, I can't make it on my salary, the country is going to hell, everyone persecutes me for my beliefs, I don't have time, I don't have enough energy, I can't do that, They won't hire me, I'm so ugly, I'm too fat, I'm too old, I'm too inexperienced, I don't know how, I have no experience, I'm too stupid, I can't read, I can't write, I hate computers, I can't learn that, I can't concentrate, I can't stop smoking, I can't find my soul mate, I'm doomed to a life of misery, I don't feel good, I'm terminally ill, I have diabetes, I have cancer, I have a headache, I can't eat that, I'm allergic to that, I hate cheese, I hate crowds, I can't find a date, blah blah blah.

Now this thread is a dumping ground for all your bad thoughts.

Type them in and become aware of them. If you can become aware of just what bad thoughts you have and how they make you feel then you can begin to change your thoughts and improve your life.

Dump your bad thoughts here and then find some good thoughts that you can replace them with.

Good thoughts like:
I am irresistible, I am smart, I am creative, I have all I need to accomplish my hearts desire, I can do anything, its a beautiful day, I am so happy to be alive, I am so thankful for my life. etc.

So you want to make a "junk yard" of bad thoughts? I'm not trying to in any way discredit you from the good that you are trying to do, but in my opinion bad thoughts power comes from numbers. I fear that if everybody where to collaborate there bad experiences here it will slowly leek into the site itself and so on. Ya feeling me?

The idea is to learn to recognize it when you do have bad thoughts. Only when you recognize them, can you change them.

The law of attraction will bring to you the things and situations that match your vibration. Most people are not aware of the vibrations that they are putting forth and they wonder why they cannot attract experiences into their lives that they want. They fail to realize they asked for it with their negative thoughts that caused them to feel negative emotions.

But if you are afraid of a dumping ground of negative thoughts then please leave your positive thoughts here.

The idea is to begin becoming aware of your thoughts and feelings so that you can change them and begin to attract into your life the experiences that you desire.

You are creating your reality by your thoughts and you can tell if you are attracting what you desire by what you are feeling. This information is from "Ask and it is Given" by Esther and Jerry Hicks.

I confess my bad thoughts this morning caused me to feel irritated.

I maintain the City Chamber website and I am supposed to keep it updated. I have been told not to make any changes unless I am told to make them ~ as all changes and updates have to go through an approval process.

They never send me anything.

So I have heard people complain that I don't keep the sight updated.

I am frustrated with them because they seem to have an attitude towards me or else they are just incompetent or lazy.

How should I address this problem?

(The problem is my attitude towards them and this attitude could be creating this reality.)

I get the feeling some of the people on the Chamber don't like it that I am doing their website because of past problems with some things I published on my Springfield website about Tarot cards or about some political opinions that they did not like. I sometimes wonder if it is my imagination or if they are just incompetent and lazy, but they seem competent in other areas.

I will draw one tarot card to see if I can find an answer.

Card Drawn is: Knight of Cups

I could not glean a meaning from the card so I looked in my book under the area of work.

"When you approach your responsibilities and projects in an intuitive way, your work conditions improve. You receive a prompt and probably emotional response to a professional issue you've tackled. Guard against excessive displays of emotion; it won't get you where you want to go any faster. Bide your time, success is a heartbeat away.

Good advice.

Ok, here's a list of my negative thoughts:


1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.
16.
17.
18.


I typed them in using invisible ink so no one else will be negatively affected by them.

They have become ghosts of my past.

Now write your positive thoughts that will cancel out the negative ones. You don't have to do it on this forum if you don't want to share.

I went into the City Hall today and very nicely asked if they had anyone who was in charge of sending me updates to the website.

She said, Well, there are a few people. (More than one.)
I asked her if that is why I wasn't getting any.



I think the problem will be taken care of tomorrow at the Chamber meeting. I don't know if I will go or not. I hate meetings, they are such a waste of time. I would rather waste my time on this club.

Now, sit down and write out one hundred times,...

I love meetings, they are such a good use of my time. I would rather attend meetings with my local community than to proselytize the Law of Attraction to the deadbeats on this club.

I would only do that if I wanted to change my attitude about meetings because I had to go to meetings.

Since I don't have to go to meetings if I don't want to, I see no reason to change my preferences or my opinion about them.

What I need to do is write out one hundred times...
I love to paint pictures and I am getting a lot done in my art studio and I am loosing interest in conversing with all of the deadbeats on this club.

I am going to enter two art shows in October and I need to get ready for those shows and figure out how I am going to attend both award ceremonies. I think one is on the 9th and one is on the 10th and they are 300 miles apart.

I expect to win awards at both shows.

So off I go now to get that all set up and get to work.

The word: Freedom

I chose that word because of the card I drew for the day.

This morning I drew a card from my tarot deck and it was the devil.

The devil card is a reminder that I should think more positive. The card tells me to practice what I preach.

He asks if you are a passive chooser rather than an active chooser. If you let life's event make decisions for you, then you are passively choosing, trapped in inertia and feelings of helplessness.

The devil tells me to take charge of my life and choose to choose. The Devil can be exorcised by changing the patterns of behavior or thinking that keep me in a master/slave situation.

The empowerment advice from the Devil card tells me to refuse to relinquish control of my own life.

(So anyone in my path today better watch out! )

The card itself expresses the energy of Bondage to material things or people or substances.

Therefore, my word FREEDOM comes as an opposite energy to the bondage of the devil
