From Discouraged to Empowered
It’s interesting how we can go to sleep after a productive day and still awake in the middle of the night with a pressing issue on our mind.
Or how we can suddenly have a thought, a burden, or situation fill our conciousness and bring our entire day to a halt.
These things happen from time to time.
In the past I’ve sat awake for hours trying to find the solution to the problem that awoke me at 2:30 am.
Other times my entire day has been ruined because I allowed a fearful, worrisome thought to take root within and slowly infect the day with its self-made poison.
This happens to all of us.
When it does, we don’t have to give into the lie.
Instead, we have the opportunity to turn our focus from the burdens to inspiration, from worry to hope, from fear to an attitude of “I can do this.”
The empowering ideas below open the doorway to do just that.

From Quotes to Action
It is us, you and I, who put our thoughts in either positive or negative places. Of course, reading quotes all day long, even inspirational ones, won’t magically transport you to a place of no worries, no fear and into a state of accomplishing all your dreams in the snap of a finger.
But what it can do is begin to change your perspective.
As we change our perspectives, we change the way we see the world.
This is how a simple change in thought, focusing on empowering ideas and quotes, knowing that great things are possible for you and your life is the seed which can change your entire existence.
In short, change your thinking, change your life.
Today and Beyond
#1 – Find a few quotes, sayings, empowering and motivating ideas to keep around you during times of negativity.
#2 – Read these often and be open to see a bigger, grander world and possibilities for yourself.
#3 – Make a decision to focus on the positive. Focus on all the reasons why you can do what you set out to do and all that you are grateful for, instead of allowing fearful, doubtful thoughts to dwell within, which in turn multiply and divide.
#4 – Keep going, great things are possible for each of us.
