THE POWER OF ASSOCIATIONS 💖👪

Beginning Words: 
Positive thinking refers to a belief or a mental attitude which makes  us think that good things will happen eventually and our efforts will pay off sooner or later. It is the  opposite of negative thinking which makes our mind full of stress and fear. The positive thinking and associations will show us how it reinforces thoughts like optimism and hope 😊 and work wonders .

"It's most important that you surround yourself with positivity always, and have it in your mind in all the times" [ Tyler Ferry ] 
AS WE KNOW BETTER 
WE CAN CHOOSE BETTER: 
As  you enter into what I hope will be your best year yet, take a few moments to reflect on the fact that you become who you associate with . You will take on the thinking , philosophies and even the behaviors of the people who you spent most of the time with . Often , this process occurs at unconscious level and we don't even we are being influenced by those around us . Trust that there 
is great power in association and we do become deeply affected  by  

the company we keep . 
"People 👫 inspire you or they drain you , pick them wisely" [ Anonymous ] 
As you spending time with people who are living the kind of life you dream 💕of living . Are you having conversations with your heroes ? Do your friends and associates uplift you and inspire you to stand for something greater than you currently are ? Or do they

bring you down and frustrate you - limiting you and your possibilities ? 😒 And remember : your associations not only come in human forms . I do believe that we become the books we read because reading is nothing more than  having a conversation with the author .  When we read books written by the greatest among us , the highest place within us can be stirred and the ideas that we learn can compel us to take the new actions that creates better results .  The big idea : as we learn more , and as we know 

better , we can choose better .
"You're the product of your environment , surround yourself with the best" [ Anonymous] 
I gently challenge you to record at least 10 of the lessons you learned from the year that has passed onto a piece of paper . Then, articulate , not only the goals that are important to you to achieve in this year , but the philosophy you want to live your professional as well as your personal by over the coming months . Setting your 
intentions down onto paper sets into play powerful cause that will yield wonderful effects . And as you do reflection and goal - setting exercise , think about your associations 😐 . Think about 

the people you choose to surround yourself .👭 Think about tour environment influences and what you are allowing into the precious places of your mind . I know you know this : what goes inside determines , what goes on , on the outside . 
" Surround yourself with positive people"  [Anonymous] 
Your thinking does from your world . And we can only act on the ideas that are in our minds . When we know better , we truly can do better . With better awareness you can take better choices . 

Thoughts which are mixed with any of the feelings of emotions constitute a " magnetic " force with attracts other similar or related thoughts .
