A quick query on the internet yielded 300 celebrities or notables that have taken their own lives in the last 70 plus years. This does not include the drug overdoses that have taken at least a hundred celebs over this same time period. Some would say those were accidents. I say those are suicides also. I explain why in my latest podcast.
My research shows that a good majority of suicides are preventable but not so much by the person struggling – but by the people around him or her that just miss the signs. Don’t get me wrong. At the end of the day the choice belongs to the individual and that is no one’s responsibility other than the person that decides to end it all. I am so clear about this, that I have reached the conclusion that Suicide is a Selfish Act.
Now before you wag your finger at me and call me unfeeling, remember that we all have a choice to do the things we do. Taking your own life is the ultimate choice. The final choice. If any of you have ever contemplated that act then you will know that there are a thousand things that go through your mind before you commit to that decision. During that period of time thoughts that include what others will say think or go though when you’re gone is part of it. To go forward with the act even after that thought process, leaves me no other opinion than to say this is a Selfish Act.
With that personal view point established – I would also like you to know that I do have a measure of empathy for anyone going through something so horrific that they feel the only way out is to exit this life. That empathy drove me to record a podcast episode on iTunes called ‘When Suicide Seems To Be The Only Answer’.

You’ll hear me talk about how drug overdose is never an accident. How emotional pain and physical pain play a role. Does assisted Suicide make sense? Is that ok? What all Suicides have in common. Ways to recognize and what to do when you see the possibility of someone going in that direction.

You can have as many as 260,000 thoughts or more go through your mind every day. There is nothing else that you do that compares in quantity. You don’t take that many breaths, your heart does not beat that many times, you don’t bat your eyes that many times, you don’t even speak that many words.

So if that many thoughts are in your head everyday – they must have an impact on your life. Well its more than an impact – Your thoughts create your reality. Your character, your circumstance and even your destiny.

‘What you fill your mind with you fill your life with’

Your Thoughts Create Your Reality

Your Thoughts Create Your RealityMind is Powerful

You are living a life – whether it is one of greatness or mediocrity is up to you. Use your mind to create the life you choose.

“What you fill your mind with you fill your life with”
~ Clarence Caldwell

This is a favorite saying of mine. In fact I like it so much that I use it often when talking to people about improving their lives. You may have heard similar statements – but this says it all. I actually had it Trade Marked. Not sure why – but after getting feedback on the efficacy of this quote – It seemed like a good idea at the time
The truth is that none of us own concepts like this so it seems a bit ridiculous that we can actually TM a quote and call it our own.
Nonetheless, With the power that we have to create our own reality it stands to reason that we should care for this gift. Care for it not only by recognizing the power but also by honing it in a way that allows us to use it freely and easily with the greatest amount of effectiveness. If we can really create greatness for our lives – why aren’t we learning everything we can to become masters at doing so? For many years I thought I knew the facts around attracting things into my life by merely thinking of them and holding them in my conscious long enough to imprint them upon my subconscious mind.
I would venture to guess that this is where most people stand in the knowledge of this phenomenon. Why not take it a step further? Hell, why not take it a quantum leap further? If it really works the way we think it does – then why aren’t we teaching this to our kids and in our schools?
For some reason the Western World has put such value on monetary wealth that the true value of life and fulfillment have taken a back seat. Unfortunately, in doing so we have cut ourselves short of the reality that accompanies this powerful gift of manifestation via the mind. Contrary to how we are taught to think, we really don’t have to sacrifice the monetary gains that we have come to covet. The ability to create our reality by manifestation of thought also includes our financial situation or status. For some reason we have adopted the idea that financial freedom only comes from hard work, crime / cheating or simply by luck. The truth that I know personally through life lessons and experience is that wealth can be manifested in your life by changing your thoughts about it. Of course it does not magically appear as a result of thinking about dollar signs, but there is a direct correlation between your attracting the financial abundance and the thoughts and beliefs you have surrounding your relationship with money.
I picked money as an example because I was certain that would hold your attention and help make the point about your mind creating your reality. But know this – The same is true for he other ‘success measures’ we have in our lives (Career, Health and Relationships.)
Apply the right principles, techniques and practices to managing your mind and beliefs and you can produce a great level of success in any area of life that you focus on. The operative instruction here is applying the techniques, and practices – not just merely focusing on the outcome.
In a future article I will explore these effective practices and tools that can be used to manage your mind and beliefs thus creating the world, the life, the existence that you desire.

You are living a life – whether it is one of greatness or mediocrity is up to you. Use your mind to create the life you choose.
