The Secret throughout history-As ye sow......

It's amazing how universal and ancient the ideas expoused in "The Secret" are.

"You have heard people say, “What goes around, comes around.” But have you given that saying much thought? It is actually a modern way to express ancient wisdom. The Old Testament stated it this way “. . . they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.” (Job 4:8). At least 50 years before the birth of Christ, the Roman statesman, philosopher, and orator, Marcus T. Cicero, said, “As you have sown so shall you reap.” And in the New Testament we find, “…whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)"

Earl Nightingale realized this, when he said:
Throughout all history, the great wise men and teachers, philosophers,
and prophets have disagreed with one another on many different things.
It is only on this one point that they are in complete and unanimous agreement.
We become what we think about

It's the "Good News/Bad News" thing. The bad news is that we attract "bad" things with negative thinking. The good news is that we can control our thoughts and attitudes and attract as much "good" into our lives as we desire!
So, like was said so long ago, be careful what seeds you plant...a corn seed can't grow into a pumpkin...it must become a corn plant...it's our daily choice what kind of seeds we will plant!

Research on Changing our Minds

"We choose and sculpt how our ever-changing minds will work, we choose who we will be the next moment in a very real sense, and these choices are left embossed in physical form on our material selves."

"This positive state is a skill that can be trained," Prof. Davidson says"

Random thoughts and findings

Hello,
I found this story today:
http://www.agiftofinspiration.com.au/stories/attitude/Gift.shtml
"Everyday is a gift". If everyone had this fellow's attitude, it would change the planet!

The title reminds me of a Family Circus cartoon, from 1994, my Mom had on her refrigerator. There were two kids talking and the girl says: "Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a GIFT. That's why it's called the present!"
Besides being a very powerful idea, it is especially significant to me because the cartoon was published about 3 months before she passed. She was obviously undergoing major health challenges, but she always had a positive attitude.
