Choose Thoughts Wisely

The key to your health, wealth, prosperity, and success is you capacity to choose. Choose whatsoever things are true, lovely, noble and God-like. Choose thoughts, idea and images that heal, bless, inspire, dignify and elevate your whole being.

If you have trouble maintaining a positive perspective, when you open your eyes in the morning say to yourself, “I choose happiness today. I choose success today. I choose right action today. I choose love and goodwill for all today. I choose peace today."

Joseph Murphy

Choose Right

Choose peace, divine guidance, and right action in your life, and decree that "goodness, truth and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the lord forever.”

Phillipians 4:8

Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be ay virtue, if there be any praise, think on those things.

Decisions

Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Choose this day...

If your do not choose from the Kingdom of heaven within you, which is the presence of God in your deeper mind, you will make decisions based on events, circumstances, and conditions around you. You will over look the powers within you and will exalt the powers of circumstances.

Choose from the kingdom of God within you, and move forward on the high road to happiness, health, freedom, and the joy of living the abundant life

Choose this day whom ye will serve. (Joshua 24:15)

Joseph Murphy

You Are Strong Immoveable Spirit Substance

Repeat, say with conviction:

"I am strong immoveable spirit substance." or "I am strong unshakeable spirit substance."

This will open the door of your mind to in inflow of substance-filled ideas. As they come use them freely. Do not hesitate or doubt that they will bring results. They are God's ideas given in answer to your prayer and in order to supply your needs. They are substance, intelligent loving, and eager to manifest themselves to meet your needs.

From "Prospeity" by Charles Fillmore

2 Questions

In every negatively perceived situation, or better yet in every situation, ask:

1. What is good about this?

2. Where is the seed of equal or greater benefit?

Anatomy of Failure

If there is failure, and you examine the Mental Attitude you held prior to the event, you will inevitably find one of these things.

1. Your desire was not constructive.

2. You doubted the Power's ability to give you your desire.

3. You have particularised or, in other words, you have wanted things exactly your way instead of the way of Infinite Wisdom.

Thougths are Bomerangs

Regard your thoughts as boomerangs. If you think an evil thought of any person or anything, you will be the loser. It is your mental attitude that is disturbed and there is no one but yourself to blame. All thoughts are boomerangs. They come back to the thinker

Nothing Is Wrong With The World But My Attitude Toward It

We must come to realize that people are perfect just as they are in their current context. As they are currently made and developed, they function at the fullest most perfect level for that place. People are created to experience, react, learn and grow at the rate their situation or level allows them – and this, they already most certainly do.

Therefore in another persons' blundering' or any other apparent ‘wrong’ or ‘weaknesses’ or ‘ignorance’, they are perfect. We are uniquely and wonderfully made says God.

It is perhaps the observer who judges negatively that is wrong, for that observer is first of choosing to argue with reality, which is futile. He is expecting what can not be. He expecting things to be the way he wishes rather than they way they are. He is also choosing disappointment, annoyance, anger or anguish, and at times perhaps even self exultation instead of acceptance. None of any such choices is helpful, beneficial, or perhaps even logical. Yet that person, consumed with judgment, is also is perfect for his current state of, enlightenment, advancement and growth.

Nothing is wrong but the observer’s attitude. In other words – nothing is wrong with the world but my attitude toward it.

God has brought forth the world and allowed it to function in it’s free will. The world is functioning perfectly for the state is in or has chosen. The world his not finished yet and nether is God. Neither the world nor another person’s problems are for me to fix. Rather it is my world that is for me to fix, and fixing that that will spread like yeast or the kingdom heaven, which is all ready among us. If heaven is here, perfection is in our midst.

Again, the world is perfect for its current stage of development and enlightenment. When the world chooses a higher plane of enlightenment, it will reach higher levels. In the mean time, it is perfect for its current stage. Accepting this will make life easier and help open many doors.

Let’s take this home now. There is nothing wrong with my friends, family, or relatives – they are functioning perfectly for the current level of growth, advancement and enlightenment they are presently in, whether by choice or chance. These people are not for me to try to fix or complain about. Certainly it was not God's plan in creating them that I do so. Take the plank out of your one eye first, Jesus tells us. But rather, by fixing myself I can be an example and inspiration.

Neither is the world falling apart or going to hell in a bucket. It is all going along according to God’s plan. It is not God’s intention I should belittle His creation or His plan. It is also not helpful for one to take a negative stance. A negative mind is a contracting mind. It limits itself and its possibilities. It limits its effectiveness. It sabotages its efforts. You cannot remain negative toward the world and do so without being a part of it, without it affecting your outlook and communication with God. On the other hand a positive mind is an expanding mind, a mind that sees possibilities, and through gratitude it can be in closer touch with God. Such a mind can do great things and even be a messenger of God. God often uses persons with such a mind to perform the miraculous.

Finally, a person’s place of employment is perfect as well. For that company's current level of development, enlightenment and advancement, it is functioning at its perfect level. This applies to ones co-workers as well. A good understanding of this can make your job much easier, and make you much happier. Face the fact that you are part of them. You are always free to choose and to go elsewhere. However, if you are critical, creating despair and agony within yourself, that will follow you even to your next interview. It will radiate out of you and stop you from getting a better chance. It will poison your and make you a prisoner.

Seeing thee world as perfect in these ways is your only salvation. It is the only way to become truly great and successful, to break free form your current shackles and soar to new heights.

In all situations strive to see the world as perfect and give thanks to God for all you have every day. Rehearse it daily and meditate on it until you engrain it into your very being. There is nothing wrong with the world but my attitude toward it.

Summary of the Science of Getting Rich

There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
In order to do this, man must pass from the competitive to the creative mind; otherwise he cannot be in harmony with the Formless Intelligence, which is always creative and never competitive in spirit.
Man may come into full harmony with the Formless Substance by entertaining a lively and sincere gratitude for the blessings it bestows upon him. Gratitude unifies the mind of man with the intelligence of Substance, so that man's thoughts are received by the Formless. Man can remain upon the creative plane only by uniting himself with the Formless Intelligence through a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude.
Man must form a clear and definite mental image of the things he wishes to have, to do, or to become; and he must hold this mental image in his thoughts, while being deeply grateful to the Supreme that all his desires are granted to him. The man who wishes to get rich must spend his leisure hours in contemplating his Vision, and in earnest thanksgiving that the reality is being given to him. Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of frequent contemplation of the mental image, coupled with unwavering faith and devout gratitude. This is the process by which the impression is given to the Formless, and the creative forces set in motion.
The creative energy works through the established channels of natural growth, and of the industrial and social order. All that is included in his mental image will surely be brought to the man who follows the instructions given above, and whose faith does not waver. What he wants will come to him through the ways of established trade and commerce.
In order to receive his own when it shall come to him, man must be active; and this activity can only consist in more than filling his present place. He must keep in mind the Purpose to get rich through the realization of his mental image. And he must do, every day, all that can be done that day, taking care to do each act in a successful manner. He must give to every man a use value in excess of the cash value he receives, so that each transaction makes for more life; and he must so hold the Advancing Thought that the impression of increase will be communicated to all with whom he comes in contact.
The men and women who practice the foregoing instructions will certainly get rich; and the riches they receive will be in exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude.

Complacency

I prayed and believe ‘it’ would happen, something big. For months and months I had a string of temporary contract jobs. Than it happened, I got a great job. I stopped praying, thinking that ‘it’ had happened.

Eventfully time went on, with me no longer being grateful every day and not even conceiving that ‘it’ and life could get much greater and with more abundance. That was a mistake, the one most everyone makes – to get busy and forgetful, to begin to complain some and not be grateful, to not imagine more, to see ‘it’ as having been reached and progress will now go on at the current fixed rate.

But there is fact and unlimited abundance I forgot about, There is a huge mountain of gold (be it money, health, happiness etc) and I had stopped and staked my tent at a few nuggets on the way.

The Power of Thought

The croakers of the world cried out that the coal beds were becoming exhausted, and that the race was doomed in consequence. A wider range of thought was correlated by the substance of electricity, and the world came out of its nervous chill on the subject of coal.

Because balloons proved a failure, did anyone suppose that the air would never be navigated? Even if gas and machinery had failed to accomplish this thing, there is a power latent in man's organism that will do it; namely, the power of thought, to which all substances are negative.
