Happiness
Just like saddness or depression, happiness is a state of the mind. We control our own enviroment. We control how we feel and when we feel that way. We should all try it out, when we are sad we need to tell ourselves that we are not sad and that we are actually happy and that everything is good and that we are happy. I know that when we do that we will actually be happy, but if we dont do that or if we let sad, depressing thoughts in our mind, that is when we will be sad. We all need to try it out. I do it all the time and it always works! I am a true believer that we create the enviroment we live in, so create a happy and fun enviroment and that is how you will live your life. I have a friend that has been my best friend for the longest time, but we were only friends. I had plans to leave to Argentina for two years where i would not be able to be with her, and knowing this we started to be more than friends, and it was awesome. We were both happy, then as we had planned i left for two years to Argentina and come to find out, she was dating another guy, and was getting pretty serious with him and when i got back she was still with him and well long story short they are getting married july 10th and i saw them yesterday and it made me sick. I started to really feel sick and i was not happy, and i let them effect me for the rest of the night, then when i was in my bed i decided that it was not ok that i was unhappy so i told myself to be happy and my enviroment changed and i was happy the rest of the night... the like hour i had left. :)

Sleeping
Last night I was tired, but I could not fall asleep. I was thinking about way too many things. I was thinking about finances, school, the future, and basically my mind was going a mile a minute. I got up to do the usual thing to try and go to sleep. I put on some relaxing music, drank some milk, and got back into bed to try and sleep. It didnt work. I went through the whole playlist of songs and i was still bright-eyed and bushytailed. I thought to myself what if i tell myself to sleep i use my mind to put my body to sleep. So what happend... well the last thing i remember was telling my mind to sleep and then well the rest is history, I fell asleep after about 3 hours trying to go to sleep. I know that the mind has great power and all we/I need to do is figure out how to use it. I feel the power of the mind and i am learning how to use it everyday and i believe that it is really helping to keep my life balanced and stree free! It is something that i definately believe that everbody should at least try out to see what happens. Then when you get results you let me know!

A Word of Wisdom
This is a brief story from my mothers life in which she describes the importance of the mind and how much power it really has over our bodies. It is more than just a mental thing, it transfers to the body as well.
The “mind” . . . if we only knew how to use it! Growing up I was an athlete and in every sport I could possibly be in. My Dad told me a hundred times to practice my shot, my hurdle jump, my serves, catching the ball, all while I was in my bed! Yes, while in my bed! No he wasn’t crazy. Your subconscious mind does not know the difference if you think it or actually do it. Therefore, every time you sink a three pointer in your head it’s just like you were standing on the basketball court taking the shot. So cool! So I did this a million times throughout all my school years in every sport I was in.
One day after a church softball game this guy approached me and asked me if I would like to be his short stop on his city league team. I hadn’t played much softball but I was good at it. I was really quick and had a great arm. I was very confident at softball. I told him sure. His team was “A” league which was the very best. His team had been together a long time and I was the youngest on the team. I admit I was a bit intimidated.
The season had just started when I joined the team. I had missed one game and several practices but he already knew I could play so he put me right in at short stop. Long story short . . . right in the middle of my second game I got benched! Then the next game he put me as the designated hitter but left me out of my short stop position. I had some kind of mental block going on! In my first two games I could catch any ball that came my way but for some reason I couldn’t throw the ball to first base. I would get too excited and throw it straight into the ground or 20 feet over the first bases head! For the first time in my entire life “I’d been benched!” I was humiliated and it seemed like the more I practiced, the worse I got! I’d forgotten completely how to throw a softball!
I’ll never forget this. The game I got benched was a Friday night and we weren’t having practice again until Monday evening. So I had almost three days to fix my head or lose my position and probably the opportunity to even be on the team. I had used my Dad’s theory growing up but I wasn’t positive that it worked. I now had the perfect opportunity to put it to the test. I was desperate and didn’t have anything to lose! For the next two days I pictured catching the ball at short stop and throwing it perfectly to first base. I threw the ball thousands of times and every time perfect in my head! I completely forgot about all the bad throws I’d made the last couple of weeks.
When Monday practice rolled around I was ready! Keep in mind I hadn’t touched a ball since my last game, only in my mind. My coach was hesitant to put me at short stop and I didn’t blame him. I had looked like an idiot the last couple of weeks and I hadn’t made one good throw to first base since I had been on the team. So the only thing that had changed since our last game was my head! I was now going to find out whether or not this head game of my Dad’s really worked. I walked out onto the field and imagined myself just as I had the entire past weekend in my head. I was freaking awesome! I threw the ball like I had NEVER thrown the ball before . . . EVER! I fired the ball to the first baseman, dead center every time. I couldn’t miss and every ball I did it perfectly. It was the most amazing thing I’d ever experienced. I was the best I’d ever been! Since this experience I have practiced a million different things in my head, from telling myself I’m brave to cramming a volley ball straight down. It always works! You have to imagine your perfect shots and perfect throws and great moves. Forget about your mistakes! If you keep thinking about your mistakes it’s like practicing them! It works negatively as well! Tell yourself you’re ambitious and you will become ambitious! Remember your mind doesn’t know the difference between fact and fiction. Get what you want, do what you want! Your mind is the only thing stopping you. It is also the only way to get it! It is who we are! ~Dennalee Rupp
My mother is the best in the whole world! I know that everyone must say that about their mother but mine truely is one of a kind. She always knows what to say, when to say it, and how to make everyone happy when she says it. It is no different now. I now know why she is so good at everything she does... Because she believes it in her mind and so she is. That is truly amazing to me. That is why she is such a successful person. I know that the only way that we are to become successful in our lives is if we think that we are going to be successful. Tonight I am going to tell myself that I am going to do GREAT at my job, and protect many families tomorrrow and I will tell everyone on this blog how it went. I want to say thanks to my mother for her great example and the wisdom and inspiration that she has and that she is willing to share it with others. I hope that me and everyone else will be able to have the right mind set and be positive so that in turn we will have a better and more successful society.

The Views and Thoughts of Successful People
I am doing a type of survey with some people that I think highly of, and that are successful in their lives. That in some way have influenced my life and so I wanted to know how they felt on the subject of my blog. I have here the first one from my friend from like since we were one.
"There are certain things that each of us think about every single day. A lot of those things are conscious but a lot of them are subconscious. I believe that the things we can put into our subconscious will eventual happen in our lives. To make it to the point to where being successful or happy or strong is a subconscious thing, that is when you will be in control of your thinking in a positive way. Now that has the power to work in the opposite way as well. So be sure to feed your subconscious with nothing but the positive, because it will be a driving force for success in your life." -Austin Taylor
He talks about the subconscious mind as the way to live our lives that we are and do as we think subconsciously. That Is like the saying “whether you think you can… or you think you can’t… your right!” It fits so perfectly to what my friend said about our subconscious mind/thoughts. One Time Bill gates was asked why don’t you help the world out by giving everybody a thousand dollars. He replied, “I could do that but in a year I would have it all back again.” So it is his mind-set that he will be successful, that really truly makes him successful. Another example of this type of successful thinking was said when Gordon B. Hinckley, at the age of 98 was asked, “How are you doing?” he answered, “I have never been better!” Truly if we all have those types of thoughts we will all be successful happy people! So the test of greatness is to be positive on a day-to-day basis, and always have good thoughts that will control our mind which will ultimately control of lives. It is our choice that we have to make daily, if we want to be happy, successful people or not. It is up to us, and it begins at our subconscious!

Today I understood a little more about the power of the mind. How it controls how we feel and what we are feeling about. I was feeling discouraged and I was not very happy, but I told my self that I was going to change how i felt and that i was going to have a good day. After i told myself that, Literally my whole day changed! I went from feeling depressed and like I could not ever accomplish anything to accomplishing many goals that I had set for the day and I was happy! I enjoyed the day. It was all because I told myself that I was going to change my attitude and my mind did it! It totally changed my day 180 degress! I had the best day today and it all goes to the power of my mind. I know that if anyone decides that they are going to have a great day it will be that way! But on the contrary if you think that you are going to have a bad day... well you will.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you cant, your right!!!" Remember this quote! It will help you have many moments that take your breath away.

As a man thinkith
So in this book "As a man thinkith" It talks about how we as humans create the enviroment that we are in with our minds. We can control everything with our minds. The author describes it by comparing it to a seed. That our minds are the seeds and that they will grow but it depends on us to determin how they grow. Like in a garden, a garden unattended will grow, but wild with weeds and does not look very pretty, or on the other hand we can control our garden (our mind) and we can have a beautiful garden with flowers, no weeds, just a beautiful garden. Time will pass by and so it depends on how we control our mind (seeds), will determin what our life (garden) looks like when the time passes. The book is ten times better than i am explaining, cause i am not a good writer but i am here to become a better writer so bare with me. :)
