Positive Thought for the Day
I will be trying to put Postivities on daily. A lot of self help authors say to repeat Postivities daily and put them in the present as if it is already a reality not in the future because the subconsious mind will keep what your working toward in the future. So I will be posting Postivities that you can repeat daily
Positivity
It cannot rain on my parade today for I am walking under the umbrellas of peace, prosperity and positive people.
Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot.
-The Hausa of Nigeria
You are doomed to make choices. This is life's greatest paradox.
-Wayne Dyer
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.
-Wayne Dyer
You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought, 'I release the need for this in my life'.
-Wayne Dyer
From the daily motivator
Bright and beautiful future
Those who preach endlessly about how bad things are, do so mainly to advance their own power and influence. Instead of being frightened into submission by the negative scenarios, choose to follow the positive possibilities. Life has always been challenging, and it will continue to be. Yet that is no reason to be gloomy or fearful, for in every challenge there is great opportunity.
Whatever you focus on will grow stronger and more influential in your world. Choose to focus on creative, innovative, loving, respectful and beautiful ways to move forward.
Those who obsess over assigning blame only end up making the problems worse. What you can do now is far more important than who is at fault.
If you give your energy to fear and hatred, whatever you fear and whatever you despise will grow bigger and more imposing. Is that really what you want?
The future is as bright and beautiful as you decide to see it. See it, live it, and make it so.
-- Ralph Marston
Joke
They Walk Among Us
I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charge. I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor. She became indignant and informed me she was educated and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again. I gave her the money back again...same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64. This actually happened in Austin at MoPac Boulevard and Parmer Lane.
====
I walked into a Starbucks with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a Grande Latte. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard that said "buy one-get one free."
"They're already buy-one-get-one-free," she said, "so I guess they're both free" She handed me my free lattes and I walked out the door.
Under the wagon
A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagonload of wheat on the road. The farmer that lived nearby came to investigate.
"Hey, Willis," he called out, "forget your troubles for a while and come and have dinner with us. Then I'll help you overturn the wagon."
"That's very nice of you," Willis answered, "but I don't think Dad would like me to."
"Aw, come on, son!" the farmer insisted.
"Well, OK," the boy finally agreed, "but Dad won't like it."
After a hearty dinner, Willis thanked the host. "I feel a lot better now, but I know Dad's going to be real upset."
"Don't be silly!" said the neighbor. "By the way, where is he?"
"Under the wagon," replied Willis.

From the daily motivator
Set joy free
There is great joy within you. Yet all too often your thoughts can keep that joy hidden away. Most of the judgments to which you devote your thoughts do not serve any useful purpose. Worries, resentments, and angry thinking will bring you nothing of real value, and will push joy further away from your awareness.
Let go of those toxic thoughts and allow the joy that's hiding underneath them to shine through. Let go of the need to judge and to strive, and make room in your awareness for joy.
Joy is easy and natural and not something you must struggle for or force. It has been there all along, and will flow easily from you when you allow it.
Let your thoughts benefit from joy instead of using those thoughts to cover up that joy. Allow your actions to be more focused and effective by allowing your own unique joy to be expressed through them.
Set free the joy in your life by letting go of the negativity that you don't need anyway. Set your joy free and let it fill your world.
-- Ralph Marston
Joke
There They Are, Walking Among Us
I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific."

I am an overcomer. I release faith that destroys all doubt, despair and destructive forces that would hinder my success.
Worry gives a small thing a big shadow.
-Swedish proverb
What comes out of you when you are squeezed is what is inside of you.
-Wayne Dyer
What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.
-Wayne Dyer
When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.
-Wayne Dyer
From the daily motivator
Who you think you are
What is the image you have of yourself? Who and what do you think you are? If your self-image is in conflict with your goals, the self-image will win out and the goals will fall by the wayside. Yet when your image of yourself is in agreement with your goals, those goals will be achieved in ways that seem almost effortless.
Who you think you are has a tremendous impact on the person you actually become. And fortunately, you can choose precisely who you think you are.
Others will often try to tell you who you are, but you don't need to pay any attention to them. Instead, decide to see yourself as the person you would most truly like to be.
The way you choose to see yourself exerts a steady and substantial influence on all the other choices you make. And those choices add together to build the reality of your life.
Truly see yourself as the person who can live the life you most sincerely desire to live. Who you think you are is precisely who you will come to be.
-- Ralph Marston
Joke
Two Vampire Bats
One evening two vampire bats were hanging out in their cave. One said, "Man, I'm starving! I need to get some blood!" And he flew out of the cave.
He returned about three hours later with blood dripping from his mouth.
"Where'd you get the blood?" the other bat asked.
"Well, you fly out of the cave, and you see the first tree on the left?"
"Yes," the other bat replied.
"Well, I didn't."
Laws for Parents
-A child's behavior will improve in proportion to the distance she is away from the parent.
- Two is equal to two, except when referring to time. Two minutes of tantrum lasts 20 times as long as two minutes of quiet time.
- The choice of a preschooler's best friend corresponds directly to the distance the friend lives from your house.
- The chance of a surprise visit by your parents-in-law is directly proportional to the size of the mess in your home.
- A child will always eat exactly what she has loved for the past year---unless it is the only food in the fridge.
- The ease with which a toddler acquires the ability to say a word increases with its likelihood to embarrass a sailor.

Question your assumptions
What assumptions have you already made about today, and why? Consider that some of those assumptions may no longer be accurate, and may very well be holding you back. It's comfortable and convenient to assume you can't do something. Yet such an assumption quickly turns into a continuing limitation that you place on yourself.
Things that were true for you many years ago may no longer have any validity. By holding on to those old assumptions, you prevent yourself from making the most of the new opportunities that come your way.
Think of how dramatically the world has changed in the last ten or twenty years. Have your assumptions about your own possibilities kept pace?
You may be carrying assumptions that were placed in your mind by people who no longer play a role in your life. Take a close look at the choices and decisions you make, at the goals and aspirations you hold, and examine the assumptions behind them.
Make it a point to regularly question your assumptions. By so doing, you're sure to find much value that you've been hiding from yourself.

Excuses for Not Coming to Work
- I can't come in to work today because I'll be stalking my previous boss, who fired me for not showing up for work. OK?
- My mother-in-law has come back as one of the Undead and we must track her to her coffin to drive a stake through her heart and give her eternal peace. One day should do it.
- If it is all the same to you I won't be coming in to work. The voices told me to clean all my guns today.
- I am stuck in the blood pressure machine down at Kroger.
- I just found out that I was switched at birth. Legally, I shouldn't come to work knowing my employee records may now contain false information.
- The dog ate my car keys. We're going to hitchhike to the vet.
The seagull
A father was at the beach with his children when the four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore, where a seagull lay dead in the sand.
"Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked.
"He died and went to Heaven," the dad replied.
The boy thought a moment and then said, "Did God throw him back down?"

This is your moment
Let go of your criticisms about how things should have been, and you'll see the magnificent possibilities of now. Let go of your worries about what might be, and you'll be able to focus on all you can do right now. Stop putting your energy into making excuses and use that energy to take action. Quit fretting over getting it perfect and put your focus on being effective.
You have now arrived at a unique moment that is filled with countless possibilities. You can make something truly valuable out of it.
You have the real and powerful ability to imagine, and then to put that imagination into action. You can call together all you've experienced, and everything that is most meaningful to you, and to create from it all your very own gifts to life.
There is abundance all around you, and with a little focused, determined effort that abundance is yours to enjoy. Choose to connect with the best within you, to make that effort, and to live with true richness.
Get up, get inspired, get moving and get involved in making a positive difference. This is your moment to come fully to life.

Insufficient Funds
A young college co-ed came running in tears to her father. "Dad, you gave me some terrible financial advice!"
"I did? What did I tell you?" said the dad.
"You told me to put my money in that big bank, and now that big bank is in trouble."
"What are you talking about? That's one of the largest banks in the state," he said. "there must be some mistake."
"I don't think so," she sniffed. "They just returned one of my checks with a note saying, 'Insufficient Funds'."
Yeah, That'll Work
This technician's company uses satellite communications to send and receive messages from tugboats moving barges up and down major rivers. Each day, by 2 p.m., the tugboats send data on the day's activities to the company's traffic department.
At least that's how it's supposed to work.
"I got a call from our traffic department saying they only got data from about half the boats, and would I check on it?" technician says.
He calls the satellite company, but the technician there says there's no problem on his end.
Meanwhile, the traffic department calls again -- they're still not getting messages from the missing boats.
"So I called the boats and got them to re-send the messages, and they came through," says our tech. "The problem apparently cleared itself up."
But he isn't quite satisfied. "I called the satellite company back to see what happened, and what we could do if the problem recurred."
Satellite company's technician doesn't know what happened and doesn't have any way of finding out. "In order to track the messages, we would need an identification number from the message," he tells our tech.
We could find out those numbers eventually, he figures.
"Also, the identification numbers are recycled every half hour," tech continues.
"So I need to get you the identification number within that time?" he asks.
"Right", says the satellite tech."So to summarize," says our tech glumly, "we need to give you the identification numbers of the messages we haven't received, within half an hour of not receiving them?"

I am motivated to succeed.
I receive unlimited energy from the universe.
There is in the worst of fortune the best of chances for a happy change.
-Euripides
The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about.
-Wayne Dyer
There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.

There is no way to prosperity, prosperity is the way.

From the daily motivator
This is your moment
Let go of your criticisms about how things should have been, and you'll see the magnificent possibilities of now. Let go of your worries about what might be, and you'll be able to focus on all you can do right now. Stop putting your energy into making excuses and use that energy to take action. Quit fretting over getting it perfect and put your focus on being effective.
You have now arrived at a unique moment that is filled with countless possibilities. You can make something truly valuable out of it.
You have the real and powerful ability to imagine, and then to put that imagination into action. You can call together all you've experienced, and everything that is most meaningful to you, and to create from it all your very own gifts to life.
There is abundance all around you, and with a little focused, determined effort that abundance is yours to enjoy. Choose to connect with the best within you, to make that effort, and to live with true richness.
Get up, get inspired, get moving and get involved in making a positive difference. This is your moment to come fully to life.
-- Ralph Marston
Joke
Insufficient Funds
A young college co-ed came running in tears to her father. "Dad, you gave me some terrible financial advice!"
"I did? What did I tell you?" said the dad.
"You told me to put my money in that big bank, and now that big bank is in trouble."
"What are you talking about? That's one of the largest banks in the state," he said. "there must be some mistake."
"I don't think so," she sniffed. "They just returned one of my checks with a note saying, 'Insufficient Funds'."
Yeah, That'll Work
This technician's company uses satellite communications to send and receive messages from tugboats moving barges up and down major rivers. Each day, by 2 p.m., the tugboats send data on the day's activities to the company's traffic department.
At least that's how it's supposed to work.
"I got a call from our traffic department saying they only got data from about half the boats, and would I check on it?" technician says.
He calls the satellite company, but the technician there says there's no problem on his end.
Meanwhile, the traffic department calls again -- they're still not getting messages from the missing boats.
"So I called the boats and got them to re-send the messages, and they came through," says our tech. "The problem apparently cleared itself up."
But he isn't quite satisfied. "I called the satellite company back to see what happened, and what we could do if the problem recurred."
Satellite company's technician doesn't know what happened and doesn't have any way of finding out. "In order to track the messages, we would need an identification number from the message," he tells our tech.

Positive Thought for the day
I will be trying to put Postivities on daily. A lot of self help authors say to repeat Postivities daily and put them in the present as if it is already a reality not in the future because the subconsious mind will keep what your working toward in the future. So I will be posting Postivities that you can repeat daily
Positivity
Divine order is established in all my work. I see clearly and act quickly and my expectations come to me in miraculous ways.
Do everything. One thing may turn out right.
-Humphrey Bogart
Successful people make money. It's not that people who make money become successful, but that successful people attract money. They bring success to what they do.
-Wayne Dyer
The components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do.
-Wayne Dyer
The fact that you are willing to say, ''I do not understand, and it is fine,'' is the greatest understanding you could exhibit.
-Wayne Dyer
From the daily motivator
Challenge to move forward
Without challenge, there would be no achievement. If you wish to own the achievement, you must be willing to shoulder the challenge. Working through a difficult challenge builds strength. It is a kind of strength that cannot be acquired in any other way.
Challenges are messy, uncomfortable, complicated and demanding. And yet, they are among life's greatest blessings.
For the challenges will make it perfectly clear what has real meaning in your life and what doesn't. The challenges hold your priorities up to you and will show you the best of who you are.
Climbing the mountain of challenge is difficult and treacherous, yet the view from the summit is spectacular. And the experience you gain in the effort will continue to bring value long after the work is done.
You are truly fortunate to have challenges in your life. For within every challenge is a clearly defined path for moving vigorously and meaningfully forward.
-- Ralph Marston

-Wayne Dyer
From the daily motivator
Take the energy
Do not continue to provide more energy to your fears. Instead, take the energy from your fears and turn it toward positive purpose. There is nothing to be gained by giving additional energy to your anger. Take the energy from your anger, and direct it toward creative, fulfilling action.
Whatever you focus upon, whether it is positive or negative, you provide with additional energy. Whether you love it or hate it, whether you long for it or fear it, your focus and attention will make it more powerful in your life.
There can be large amounts of energy in your fears, your angers, and your frustrations. The thing to do with all that negative energy is not to add to it, but to apply it toward your most positive purposes and most treasured desires.
If you truly wish to avoid something, be careful not to nourish it with your focus and your energy. Find something else to move toward, and keep that positive goal at the center of your awareness.
In each moment, you can choose where to focus your attention and your energy. Seek to keep your focus as positive as possible, and you'll move steadily in the direction of your dreams.

8. Fasten your seat belt. (same tone your friend with the suicidal driving tendencies uses when you get in the car).
9. This is your Captain speaking....these stupid planes are a lot different than the ships I'm used to.. so you'll have to give me some leeway...

Positivity
I feel abundant.
I feel prosperous.
I feel rich beyond measure.
All is well and I'm grateful.
"It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed."
-- Napoleon Hill
People who want the most approval get the least and people who need approval the least get the most.
-Wayne Dyer
Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgment of others.
-Wayne Dyer
Relationships based on obligation lack dignity.
-Wayne Dyer
From the daily motivator
Stand out
Instead of making promises, deliver value. Instead of fighting for the chance to receive discarded scraps, work diligently to freely give big buckets of nourishing substance. Rather than growing hoarse from shouting, grow wise from listening. When those around you are tripping all over their own arrogance and self-importance, have the confidence to live with genuine humility.
Those who so desperately and endlessly brag about themselves quickly fade into a meaningless blur. Those who quietly and consistently perform are the ones who soon stand out from the crowd.
If you assume that people are stupid, and look upon them with disrespect, they will look at you in exactly the same way. When you seek to take advantage of others, you become ridiculously easy prey for those who will certainly take advantage of you.
The way to stand out is not by pushing others back. The way to stand out is by generously and sincerely leading others forward.
Expect the best of others, and respectfully give the best that you have. Choose to stand out, away from the pettiness and shortsighted greed, and you'll find a truly magnificent life.
-- Ralph Marston
Joke
Baptism
A father is in church with three of his young children, including his five year old daughter.
As was customary, he sat in the very front row so that the children could properly witness the service.
During this particular service, the minister was performing the baptism of a tiny infant. The little five year old girl was taken by this, observing that he was saying something and pouring water over the infant's head.
With a quizzical look on her face, the little girl turned to her father and asked: "Daddy, why is he brainwashing that baby??"
Little Johnny's new baby brother
Little Johnny's new baby brother was screaming up a storm. He asked his mom, “Where'd we get him?”
His mother replied, “He came from heaven, Johnny.”
Johnny says, “WOW! I can see why they threw him out!”
