How Life Works

ByMatthew

Before I let you go for the weekend, here’s something I found on Darren Hardy’s Facebook page:

You get in life what you create. Expectation drives the creative process. What do you expect? You expect whatever it is you’re thinking about. Your thought process, the conversation in your head, is at the base of the results you create in life. So the question is, What are you thinking about? What is influencing and directing your thoughts? The answer: whatever you’re allowing yourself to hear and see. This is the input you are feeding your brain. Period.

Do you believe it?

Can you give me any reason to doubt it?

  • We Are Dissonance Resolvers

    ByMatthew

    “Huh? What the heck is he talking about?” Excellent question. Allow me to explain: Human beings do some interesting things, some great, some good, some not-so-much.
