Never Stop Trying

What have you got to lose, if you do not make your goal the first time keep on going nothing gained nothing lost. It is easy to get discouraged and start putting into motion, feeling sorry for yourself and even bitterness. This bitterness is a cancer and consumes every part of your being. I'm not going to lie sometimes for a moment it feels good to vent, but this venting creates habits, powerful suggestions that start eating you from the inside out. 

Our brains work through habits and as easy as it is to create bad ones we can use the same techniques to implement good and healthy behavior as well. I stumbled across this teaching at one point maybe about a year ago, it is a short read and seemed so simple, but yet I still have not completed the task it suggests. Creating a new habit of positive thinking. It is called The Seven Day Diet, by Emmet Fox.

It seems easy enough, but with daily stresses, our own human conditions and the negativity that surrounds each of us daily, these things can really hinder success. Think of a world where no negativity can penetrate your brain, think of the benefits this would create. When you visualize something I believe you make it happen good or bad. Have you ever had a sense of strong foreboding, shortly after something bad happened? Did we create the mishap through power of suggestion? maybe, maybe not, but if we visualize success, I also feel confident that success is sure to follow. 

I have tried and have yet to accomplish this, but I have not given up. When I fail as it says wait awhile and then I start all over again. I'm on the same journey and I'm certainly not trying to down play the challenge by any means. It is difficult but I'm determined and I will never stop trying. After all a world of positivity seems so much more greater and beneficial than that of negative thoughts. Sometimes happy accidents create a kingdom even our own minds may not have been able to fathom.

Let me hear your stories, post comments and share your own successes or failures. I'm always open to learn of new tactics that worked for others. Those who have failed as I have, maybe we can work out a solution together.

Happy dieting.
