We spend more time with ourselves than any other person on earth. Many times, we are also with other people but most of the time we are with no one else but our thoughts. What do we talk about when we and our minds are alone together?

The answer to this really determines who we are, we respond to things going on in our world, and what we accomplish in life. Some people use the term obsession asking the question what are we obsessed with? I use the term we all know and understand. What do we think about over and over.

Some people have convinced themselves that everyone in the world is out to get them in some way or another whether it be as simple as driving down the road or as complicated as a business deal. They ma even use the logic: "It may have never happened before but that doesn't mean this won't be the first time." Others have convinced themselves that they have no talent, are ugly, aren't liked by anyone, etc., etc. They are so convinced that they don't even try.

Why is it that other people seem to always have it together. They are always positive and upbeat. They always accomplish things and seem to be liked by everyone. Even when they are having a bad day, and we all will, they look forward to tomorrow as a brighter day and live out that expectation.

Yes, we are all different, having different talents and abilities but, the reality is: This is not as important as our outlook on life. This outlook is developed during those significant periods of time we are communicating with ourselves when no one else is around.

We can change our thoughts which will, as a result, over time change our actions. Think positive thoughts. Look back and do as Paul Meyer used to say: Do a mental 180 and look at all of the things you have done right in your life. Look at the significant portion of your live people were not out to get you and, even if they were, didn't succeed. It may take a while and it may take work but you can do it.

We were all endowed by our creator with a brain that can working with us, side by side with us can accomplish great things. We need to unleash it's positive can do attitude and put it to work.
