"There is only one way by which you can achieve prosperity. It is to take charge of your mind." ~ Eric Butterworth from Spiritual Economics
We've heard that one before, eh? ALL the great teachers tell us we must master our minds to master our lives.
From the Buddha: "More than those who hate you, more than all your enemies, an undisciplined mind does greater harm."
To Marcus Aurelius: "If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."
To Shakespeare: "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
How about you? Are you in charge of your mind? What steps are you taking to get even more in charge? Meditation perhaps? (Maybe try a 10-day Vipassana course to get your mind in shape! Did wonders for me!! :) How about being truly present with your children? Catching your negative self-talk? Practicing mantras? ... ? ... ? ... ?
Witness how you show up in the world. How your mind can bounce from thought to thought to (hopefully not negative) thought. Get in charge.

"Your most important asset is the conscious control of your own life."
"When you believe you can do it, the "how-to-do-it" develops."
