[S.T. _I Made It!]

HI!!! It sounds like we BOTH had awesome weekends! My convention was so awesome. There are so many things we all can take from what I heard. Here's just a few statements I wrote down.

This information was from Ron Macintosh, a writer.

Success IS the progression to a worthwhile goal that is important to you. it's not being at your goal it's the progression to it.

Researches have said, you are what you think about. The unsuccessful think about their worries, but the successful think about the solutions. Let's think SOLUTIONS not worries!

Renew your mind, change your thinking. If you don't like your output, change your input.

God engineered us to be limitless, but WE lead limited lives.

this is really interesting to me... Emotions travel 80K miles FASTER than a thought. no wonder we act on our emotions so easily!

He also said that we have the conscious- what determines our truths and the subconscious- which creates habits... creates automatic response, it works to make our truths come to pass. This subconscious always puts us back to our place of truth. He gave % of people who tried to diet, it was like 98% that gained the weight back, then I think it was 95% of children who make 5% plus or minus what their parents made. We become how we see ourselves. If we don't know there is a limit, there's nothing stopping us. For ex. He said a man named Cliff Young had broken a marathon record. It was a 375 mile race, and every runner knows you run for 6 hours and rest for 6 hours until the end. However, this man Cliff, was a farmer and had no training whatsoever and ran the race continuously and shattered the record by 36 hours. He was 60 years old when he ran the race. Is that insane??? I haven't looked up his name yet online, but I'm going to.

I'll write on more thing,

Self-image- is a predetermined belief of what we can become, how we will respond to others and how they respond to us. Self image is largely what is stored in your subconscious mind.

Our lives are largely influenced by this internal picture. This picture controls our perception of things. It then, sends a message to our emotional system, phsiological and neurological system to keep us aligned with our self-image.

When the subconscious mind perceives we are not on target with our self-image, it causes stimulus or suppression of ideas and energy.

He basically meant that we always get back down to that level that we see ourselves as. We need to stop focusing on the negative, but focus on the positive!

anyways, Niki, I thought that you might like some of those things, so I used your thread to post it. sorry for hi-jacking!
