Are You Using Your Delete Button?

Boy, I really like that title!

And no, I'm not talking about the delete button on your keyboard or your emails.

I'm talking about the delete button in your HEAD.

Okay, now you're wondering what I'm talking about. I've lost you.

No, think about it like this.

Mindset is a really big topic of discussion these days. It should be. It's very important to the success of your daily life. You've got many books out there like "Think and Grow Rich", "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind", "SuperMind" and many, many others.

If you don't have the right mindset, then it's hard to succeed at anything. You've heard the old saying, "Garbage in, garbage out."

It's not necessarily all about what goes in. It really depends on what you do with it when it goes in.

For many people, we were always told as children or we tell our own kids, you can't do this or you can't do that. You can't have this or you can't have that. Think about whether you've been told this or tell this to others. This could set up youngsters for future turmoil.

What if we teach them and ourselves that when we hear other people speak negatively to us or about us, that we not dwell on it. DELETE it!

What if we learn to take things that go into our mind that we know is not congruent with our beliefs or our goals, DELETE it.

Yes, I agree, that this won't be easy to begin with. If you focus on what you and others are putting into your mind and take those things that you know are harmful and hit that big DELETE button in your mind.

Remember, continuously put in good thoughts. Continue to learn new things. Be positive to yourself and others. If you lift up someone else, you lift up yourself. If you believe in someone else, you believe in yourself.

As you go through this weekend and this long summer season, be safe and remember to hit that DELETE button in your mind.
