A Fresh Look
Exciting news, one and all! As you may have noticed, there have been no new posts the last couple of days - the new and improved site is being developed as I write!! The site will be MUCH more interactive and filled with great tips and free 'stuff '.
I have programmers working around the clock to create a work of art that is appealing to all who visit.
Until the site is complete (approx. 1 week...or less, we believe), I will not be posting here as I'll end up transferring it over anyway.
This blog has given me such tremendous pleasure because I know in my heart of hearts that we all are entitled to the best life we can imagine - my part is to help you facilitate the transition.
I'll post next when the site is up and running, so please be patient, and remember, repetition is the first law in learning!
Sincerely,
Kevin

Me, Myself and the Other Person
Through my many years involved in sales and training, I have come to one insurmountable fact - no one will ever come on board with your ideal, product or service if there is no inherent value to the other party. As the saying goes, "Two ears, one mouth". This goes with making friends and alliances as well. If your attention is primarily on yourself, you have no way of discovering what is important to the other person. We, as human beings, like to hear our name, we want attention and to be loved and admired - this is part of our spiritual DNA. So the next time you are in the company of others, put this thought in your mind - they are just like me, in that they want to be heard and appreciated, just like me. This works miracles!
"Remember, that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his problems than he is in you and your problems. His toothache means more to him than a famine in China that kills a million people. A boil on his neck interest him more than forty earthquakes in Africa. Think of that the next time you start a conversation." Dale Carnegie
Also, coming soon to a mind screen near you, the masterfulthoughts blog will be moving to a new domain and site. The site will be loaded with information, insights and tools to assist you in creating miracles in your life.
Feel free to leave a comment, and as always.......

A Note on Focus
Here is a wonderful message from Mike Dooley, creator at large. Give this your attention throughout the day, and see what happens. When we put our focus, our undivided attention on something, that 'something' expands and starts to take form. Resources, people, ideas and inspirations are attracted into your physical experience like magic. The key is to be aware and welcome that which is attracted! Enjoy...
"When you focus upon anything at all, it's like a call goes out to every corner of the Universe, summoning ideas, strength, courage, insight, resources, and whatever else is needed to complete the laser beam of your concentration. If it's an answer you need, it will be forthcoming. If it's a choice you have to make, your options are calculated and recalculated under each scenario. If circumstances need to be arranged then every soul on the planet is consulted. And if it's help you need... we're already there." Mike Dooley (C) 2012
On another note, our new website is in the making and will be up and running very shortly. The new site will have resources far beyond what this blog can accommodate, and promises to help create miracles in the lives of those that participate in it. Oh happy days!!

The Art of Giving
This is a wonderful lesson on Giving by Rhonda Byrne (Author of "The Secret").
Giving always leads to good things happening, because giving instantly brings happiness and joy to the giver as well as the receiver.
"Giving opens up the door to receiving. You have so many opportunities to give every day.
Give kind words. Give a smile. Give appreciation and love. Give compliments. You can give courtesy to other motorists while you are driving. You can give a smile to the car parking attendant. You can give a warm greeting to the newspaper stand person or the person who makes your coffee. You can give by allowing a stranger to go ahead of you into an elevator, and you can give by asking which floor they are going to and pressing the button for them. If someone drops something you can give a helping hand and pick it up for them. You can give warm embraces to those you love. And you can give appreciation and encouragement to everyone.
There are so many opportunities for you to give and thereby open the door to receiving."

The Horse and the Mule
Thank you, Jim, for another inspiring story! A teacher of mine once said to me, " Where I is, is where I is. BUT, where I'm going is up to me!" When we learn to accept the gifts we are born with, develope them and share them with the world, wonderful things happen.
"Traveling together, a horse sported a fine coat and a magnificent saddle with ornate decorations, while a mule was burdened with a heavy load. Its coat was matted and filled with burrs.
"Oh, how I wish I could be as beautiful and graceful as you are," the mule told the horse. "I wish, too, that I was as unburdened and carefree."
A few days later, a great war broke out and the horse went into battle while the mule carried supplies. During a skirmish, the horse was gravely wounded and lay dying upon the ground when the mule came upon him. It was then that the mule realized that in being himself, he had fulfilled his purpose and been kept safe.
The Moral of the story: Be secure in who you are.
You may look at others and what they have and wish you had the same characteristics or were in the same place as they. Ultimately, how you feel about who you are determines your level of self-esteem. Even though there are things you want to change about yourself, these things make up who you are today. No matter what your defects or imperfections, accept who you are in the present moment."

Appreciation and Giving
Good morning! Here's a wonderful quote by Helen Keller. The joy we feel when we unconditionally help another is one of the greatest feelings and accomplishments we can experience. A simple smile or gesture, a helping hand or the strength of a shoulder - these simple acts go a very long way in creating happiness in our own lives.
"Anyone who, out of the goodness of his heart, speaks a helpful word, gives a cheering smile, or smooths over a rough place in another's path knows the hidden delight he feels is so intimate a part of himself that he lives by it. The joy of surmounting obstacles which once seemed unremovable, and pushing the frontier of accomplishment further - what joy is there like unto it? If those who seek happiness would only stop one little minute and think, they would see that the delights they really experience are as countless as the grasses at their feet or the dewdrops sparkling upon the morning flowers." Helen Keller

Believing is Seeing
Thank you James for your submission. I agree - this article by Bob puts a new understanding on what wealth is and how to achieve it.
"One of the key concepts to creating wealth is to understand that money is not the goal. That's right, I said, money is not the goal.
Frequently people will tell me that they want to make money. However, I know it is not money they are really after. It is the things that money can buy and the freedom of time to do what they really want. While you may think this is an insignificant difference, it is actually the reason so many people never become wealthy.
Most of us were taught throughout our childhood that the whole point of making money is to sock it away and build our own 'nest egg'. We think of this as a type of insurance against bad fortune, accidents or old age when we can no longer work. The wealthy know that money only works when it is in motion - not when it's sitting in a bank account. You must understand that wealth is an ongoing journey of growth and circulation and if that circulation is stopped, then the flow of money will cease.
While it may seem that there are many roadblocks on your journey to wealth, the only real obstacle is what you believe, think, and feel about money. Most of us were raised with the cliché "Seeing is Believing" which is a skeptical and negative view of life. Still, we hear it our whole lives until it becomes a part of our thought process without our even realizing it. Wealthy people understand that this cliché is exactly backward - you must believe in what you can achieve before you will see it happen in your life. They know that "Believing is Seeing." The only thing that separates a millionaire from you right now is a wealthy mindset and the foundation of that mindset is belief.
Does this mean that the wealthy have some special skill or knowledge? No - but they do possess some key characteristics that help them become wealthy.
The first of these characteristics is a willingness to listen to their own heart. If you could become wealthy by listening to the masses, then the masses would be wealthy and they are not. It is a natural tendency to ask the opinions of those we love or respect. Unfortunately, we listen to their comments and biases not taking into account the results in their own lives. We make a decision to listen based on our emotional attachment rather than by looking at what they have achieved. How can anyone who has not accumulated wealth advise you on how to do it? They can't.
A second characteristic of the wealthy is the ability to act when opportunities present themselves. Opportunity is often imagined to be something that you can't miss or pass up. However, I know from personal experience that opportunity is often only a whisper that comes during some of the most trying times of life. If you read the life stories of very wealthy and successful people, you will frequently find they were fired from jobs, kicked out of school or dealt with significant personal tragedies that other people would view as devastating. Instead, they viewed the challenges as opportunities and prospered.
The wealthy also understand that wealth is an ongoing process. It is not a destination you arrive at one day and then stop. It is also rarely accomplished overnight - although it can occur in a short period of time. However, if you gain wealth before you have gained a wealthy mindset then you are in danger of losing that wealth forever. We have all heard of those that win the lottery only to be near penniless a few years later. Since they were never taught to think wealthy, they have very little chance of achieving wealth that lasts and ultimately they lose what money they have.
Those with a wealthy mindset do what they love - and make money at it. Often I see individuals who are seeking wealth like it's something outside that they have to search for. In reality, wealth exists within you. You have activities and hobbies that you love and you can make these into your business if you choose to. Those who are successful and create a great deal of wealth do so because they are doing something they love. The money follows and is just a logical result of them realizing their dream. Money is not the dream.
Whether you grow up in the worst circumstance or have every advantage, you have the exact same potential inside of you to create the life you want. No matter how many times you read or hear someone talk about how to become wealthy, your life will never change until you believe that it can - Believing is Seeing." Bob Proctor
