Thoughts

[Guest guest]

I have a question for the group.....How important are 'thoughts' to success?

And, more to the point, how does what we 'think' turn into the energy that

translates into manifest?

 

I ask because I am in business for myself, but no matter how hard I try, no

matter how much positive thinking I do, it seems that my business remains at

square-1. Yet, the other day, I passed a shoe store that gives dollars off

for purchases.

 

As I was driving by this store, I remembered that the last time that I had

been in there was in June of 2000, and at that time I filled out the

paperwork for my discounts after purchasing several pairs of shoes for my

kids back to school attire. Well, now I remember that I have not received my

discount coupon for further purchases, and it's been 9 months!

 

Immediately, I thought that I need to go in and talk to the Manager. That

thought was promptly followed by a defeatist thought that my paperwork was

probably lost, or there was a new policy, or the coupons no longer are being

given out, or the coupons were only good for the year 2000. Something along

those lines.

 

Anyway, the bottom line is this: I decided to just forget about it, not worth

the hassle, and I am far too busy anyway. So, I never went in, just drove on

by.

 

Well, guess what? Two days later I get a letter from the company in the mail

with a 'gold' card inside for 'preferred' customers, and a scratch off for a

vacation since I had spent so much there in the year 2000, AND my coveted

coupon for $15.00 off my next purchase!

 

Did I do this with my mind? Were my thoughts THAT powerful, even though they

were primarily defeatist thinking? And if I did this with thoughts alone, how

can I channel that energy into my fledgling business endeavor?

 

Thanks for all the advice...........Have a blessed day,
