Determining Outcomes

Is it possible to predict the outcome of a situation before it happens? You betcha!

I've learned that by using "The Secret" process, I can help make things turn out positively, when I take the time to make it happen. I can also make this work in reverse, sadly.

Earlier today, several concerning situations happened at work that threw me right off track. I definitely was not thinking positive thoughts! And, as I approached each situation, I fell into my old habit of thinking ahead to the worst possible outcome, and then actually experiencing that outcome. Crazy!

About halfway through the day, I pulled myself back together and remembered to focus on what I WANT instead of on what I don't want. I used some of the tips from my Secret First Aid Kit, and was able to set myself back onto a positive and productive path. It was only after I'd gotten my mind back under control that I realized I'd forgotten to think ahead to a positive outcome when faced with a daunting situation. When these situations arise, if I just ask myself, "What do I WANT to have happen?" and then envision the outcome I would like to experience, I usually end up experiencing something very similar to what I've imagined. I just forgot to do it this time.

Well, I remembered this special tool part way through the day, and I'm hoping I'll remember a bit sooner the next time. We CAN determine outcomes before they happen - it's all about our attitude and expectations.
