The Think System
For my friend, Donna, who is up to her proverbial ears in “The Music Man”….
“La-de-da-de-da-de-da-de-da,” sings the infamous Professor Harold Hill to the tune of Minuet in G. “La-de-da, la-de-da.” He teaches his students that if they can “think” the music, they can play it.
Now, I have had some conversati0ns lately with dear people in my life. Some of them expect (and think about) the worst possible scenarios that could happen to them…you know…gain a zillion pounds that they will never lose, have a loved one die in a tragic accident, never be able to get a job, and on and on and on…I know, I do it, too. (In fact, when my husband recently flew across the country to attend a funeral after the sudden death of a family member, I fretted for days thinking about what I would do if he didn’t return. Silly me…he came back, held me again in his arms, and drove me home from the airport after flying all day. He was fine. 
)
The flipside of that is the dear people in my life who expect the blessings to flow freely and see the joys in life. They think happiness. They think love. They think friendship. They think service. I love to be around these people, because they radiate joy. Just thinking positively sends amazing blessings to them.
When I think, or hear people say over and over to me, that I look great, I start to think that. Then I radiate beauty. I don’t believe it’s because I am any more beautiful than I was a few months ago…I just feel it now…like Professor Hill’s students felt the music. When I read positive literature, including daily scripture study, I combat the negative energy and self-talk, and I start to “think” on blessings. I radiate gratitude. Not that I’m any more blessed than I was a few months ago, but I am feeling it now. See? (or should I say, “Think?”)
So, what will you think about today to transform you into the magical person you are? You are loved. You are amazing. You are beautiful. You are positivity. You are wonderful. You are blessed. Truly you are, don’t you think?
