Thought

“All that we are is a result of what we have thought.” ~Abraham Lincoln

* Thoughts are real things. They are the original creative force in our world.
* Every word, action, experience, structure, invention, product, and institution begins with thought.
* What you consistently think about will show up in your life.
* Positive thinking creates positive experiences.

Perception

“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world—the rest of the world calls a butterfly.” ~Lao Tzu

* Perception is our beliefs based on our experiences, filtered through our judgments.
* Events are neutral—our perception gives them meaning.
* Differences in perception are responsible for all human conflicts.
* One of the greatest of human abilities is the ability to shift perception.

Choice & Accountability

“The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice.” George Eliot

* We are the product of our choices not our circumstances.
* Awareness of our choices assists in focusing on what we want in life.
* Accountable people take responsibility for what shows up in life.
* Accountability involves claiming personal power to create better results.

Cause & Effect

“Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

* We cause every effect in our lives.
* Whatever we put out returns to us multiplied
* We do not get happiness by feeling anger or resentment.
* Taking responsibility for the effects we experience opens the opportunity to create what we want.

Abundance & Gratitude

“Gratitude is the open door to abundance.” ~Yogi Bhajan

* Abundance is the universe’s response to our thoughts and emotions.
* If we think it and feel it, we will experience it.
* Depending upon our beliefs, we may experience an abundance of prosperity, an abundance of lack or an abundance of mediocrity.
* Feeling gratitude attracts an abundance of things to feel grateful for.

Health & Healing

“Your lifestyle—how you live, eat, emote, and think determines your health.” ~Brian Carter

* The body contains the intelligence to heal and repair itself.
* Many physical problems are the result of mental or emotional stress
* Stress reduces the body’s ability to fight off invading pathogens, and to make repairs at the cellular level.
* Stress is not caused by external factors. All stress comes from within.

Harmony & Rhythm

“Harmony makes small things grow, and lack of it makes great things decay.” ~Sallust

* The natural world is full of rhythm.
* Human beings are a part of nature and subject to the principles which govern nature.
* Forcing our will or trying too hard will block the very thing we are trying to achieve.
* Finding a rhythm which works well increases productivity, creativity and harmony.
