A Thoughtful Frame of Mind

As the title of this piece indicates I'm in a thoughtful frame of mind. What that means is I've reviewed and made some changes to my Intentions and sent them off to the two women I call my Intention Sisters. I deleted one, rewrote one, and added one.

What did I delete? One about learning new technology is easy, effortless, and fun. Not really...but, I am better at it; can figure problems out most of the time; don't get as stressed; know when to stop and take a break.

I rewrote one that listed a bunch of things I would/was doing to increase my visibility within the writing community. This is what it looks like now.

My visibility within the writing community positively affects my being a published author with strong book sales.

Circle of Serenity

Reviewing my Intentions while in A Thoughtful Frame of Mind, I realized that my list included things over which I have no control. What is most important is that I am visible within the writing community. I'll be open to and actually look for Synchronicity to show me how to make this happen. What did I add?

Each day I remind myself that my primary goal in life and the only real measure of my success is “above all else---be happy”.

It is important to review my Intentions every once in awhile. To take stock of where I am on my Life's Journey at this stage of my life; to see which way will take me closer to where I want to be at every fork in the road.

What do you do to keep yourself moving forward in your life?

Trust, Success, and the Mastermind

Napoleon Hill's works "The Law of Success", "Think and Grow Rich, and the concept of Mastermind has been around for decades. For Mastermind to be successful the participants must come together in a spirit of harmony and good will, genuinely wanting the other people to have their goals, dreams and desires manifest in their lives. It isn't about what's in it for me. If you are not focused on assisting the other person in your Mastermind to realize what s/he wants, then the power that Hill is referencing is lost.

Trust comes into play here. We need to trust that if we are truly committed to the success of the other people, our success is ensured. So, being involved with other people you intuitively know will hold your Intentions on your behalf is important. You can be successful without that support, but when you have it everything works more effortlessly.

Have you belonged to a Mastermind? What were/are your experiences?
