I learned this poem 30 years ago by Ella Wheeler Wilcox that convinced me of the power of thoughts. "You never can tell what a thought will do, in bringing you hate or love, for thoughts are "things" with airy wings, swifter than a carrier dove. They follow the laws of the universe, each thing will create its own kind. They speed over the track and bring you back......whatever went out from your mind".

What we say to ourselves reflects our deepest thoughts about our self (our self image). These subtle but powerful private thoughts continually shape and mold who we are in public. These deep thoughts accumulate over time based on our experiences and can get negative over time if we are not careful.

Our success and happiness in life depends on a positive self image, and If we want to improve our self image............we need to improve our thinking.

The secret to a positive self image is to form the habit of positive thinking. Ultimately we are what we think about.

Here are Four Tips for getting in the habit of positive thinking:

1. Avoid and overcome negative thinking:
Do not allow your mind to communicate negative messages to your spirit. This is not always easy and negative thoughts visit everybody's mind. EVERYBODY so EXPECT THEM. When you sense them coming you have to lock the door and pull down the shades. You can't stop negative thoughts from visiting your mind, but you don't have to invite them in.,,,remember, the door to the mind opens from the inside.

Some times negative thoughts will tell you you are not good, or you can't do that job, or who do you think you are? People will laugh at you. You are not smart enough. Everybody knows you are a loser.

Here are answers you can use when these negative thoughts creep into your mind.

(you are no good)......"I am a good person...not because people think I am but because my creator says I am." If you are not a person of faith you could say "I am as good as any other human being".....

(you can't do that job)....."Just watch me"

(who do you think you are)?..."Not a nobody, I think I am a somebody, a special and unique, one of a kind, somebody. With the ability and talent and the will to win.

(People will laugh at you.)...So what if people laugh at me? They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Ben Franklin, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. Hey, they laughed at Jesus! that's pretty good company, right!!??

(You are not smart enough). Maybe not but I am willing to learn and I am smart enough not to listen to negative communication so be gone!

(Everybody knows you are a loser). What I think is more important than what others think anyway and I think I am OK.

2. Practice positive thinking.
Negative thinking fosters a "losing" mentality, a "winner" mentality, on the other hand, is the by product of positive thinking and actions.

3. Remember what you think about is your choice:
Every living person has the power, the derogative and the birthright to be successful in life and it is a choice we make every day as we communicate positive and productive messages to our spirit.

4. Read The Power of Positive Thinking and As A Man Thinketh Both are available on our website .

These three tips will help. Always remember.

1. The mind has two windows and two doors. (eyes and ears). Station a guard at every entrance.

2. Invite all the positives in and keep the negatives out.

3. Ask your guardian angel to help you make the right choices at every intersection in life.

Results?...........absolute success absolutely guaranteed.

For over 40 years a very savvy front line employee named Mildred Ramsey worked in the fabric mills of the south. She experienced good leadership and poor leadership. She witnessed good work situations and bad work situations. She saw the best and the worst, and learned from all situations.

Over time, Mildred realized that the best ways to accomplish the goals of the organization were to keep workers informed, treat them with respect, ask their opinions, and recognize good work. As this knowledge became clear to her, she developed a plan, a new mission for her life. Unlike many smart team members who take their secrets of success into retirement with them, Mildred became an author and a public speaker
— sharing her knowledge with leaders across the country. Her books and DVD’s provide leaders with a common sense approach to managing, and are extremely entertaining as well.

Over the years, SESCO has incorporated elements of Mildred Ramsey’s teachings into many of our seminars. Her “Super Supervisor” concepts are appropriate for any organization at any level. Ramsey supports using the “Seven C’s” to lead and motivate others: Courtesy, Concern, Consideration, Compassion, Consistency, Control, and Caring.

Think about it — aren’t there times when we as leaders really want to know what our followers are thinking? Well Mildred Ramsey can tell us!

Subject: RE: Best workplace in America Award!

In 1987 my companies morale, as well as my own personal level of job satisfaction was as low as it had ever been. Something had to change and my frustration was so great that I was considering selling the business and changing careers. I recall one piece of advice that I heard at a management seminar that changed the momentum of our organization and my career. That advice came from Mildred Ramsey at a BIA convention. She promised that, if practiced, this piece of advice alone would cover the cost of admission to see her speak. She advised that before belting out the marching orders each day, to take the time to say "good morning, how are you today?", then belt out the orders. The results of showing this little token of respect helped me to understand the human side of business. I owe much of the success of our organization and the satisfaction of my career to Mildred's advice. For us to win the "Best Workplace in America" award both times that we have entered is a tribute to Diecrafters staff and to Mildred Ramsey for the cold, hard slap in the face that she gave me 15 years ago. Thanks Mildred and thanks BIA - I appreciate it!

This wonderful poem, has sparked millions of people into deeper thinking about who they are vs who they want to be. Find a quiet time and look in the mirror and read this haunting poem....................... "When you get what you want in your struggle for self and the world makes you king for a day, Just go to the mirror and look at yourself and see what that man has to say for it isn't your Father, Mother, or Wife whose judgment upon you must pass… The fellow's verdict that counts most in your life is the one starring back from the glass. Some people might say your a straight shootin' chum and call you a wonderful guy but the man in the mirror says your only a bum if you can't look him straight in the eye. He's the fellow to please never mind all the rest for he's with you clear to the end and you've passed your most dangerous difficult test if the man in the glass is your friend.You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years and get pats on your back as you pass but your final reward will be heart ache and tears if you've cheated the man in the glass….

So… Be passionate about what you're doing, be impeccable, and in all things maintain your integrity, and the man in the glass will always be your best friend.
