<h3><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>You Are Responsible For Your Thinking. If You Change The Way You Think, Your Life Will Get Better.<br />
</strong></span></h3>
</div>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-575" title="wild_horse" src="http://simonpreacher.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/wild_horse1-200x300.jpg" alt="wild horse1 200x300 Taming Your Inner Voice" width="200" height="300" />We all have a voice that talks to us. You might know it as your conscience, your inner man or your inner voice. It&#8217;s ever talking and suggesting things to you.</p>
<p>Many people are not aware of this voice even though it&#8217;s been talking within them all their life. You can never get rid of your inner voice, so your best bet is to make it function on your favor.</p>
<p>For those people who grew up in a negative environment that voice will help them to create negative suggestions which manifests negative outcomes. If you are fortunate to have grown up in a positive environment, your inner voice will help you suggest positive ideas and the consequences will be positive outcomes.</p>
<p>On a negative note; this voice can make anything worse. It has the tendency of taking a small problem, think about it for awhile, and create a humongous problem out of it. It rehearses problematic thoughts, focuses on what might go wrong and points out all negative possibilities.</p>
<p>What you end up with is an imagination that has a very bad situation. The problem goes from a mild annoyance to a major catastrophe as you persuade yourself that the imagined situation is the real situation. You end up being busy confronting a big problem that only exists in your mind.</p>
<p>These kind of thoughts will lead to all sorts of negative outcomes. You can end up saying words you will live to regret for the rest of your life, you can become weakened, suicidal, depressed or violent. These outcomes are caused by the emotions you have created based on exaggerated thoughts. The original problem may be bad enough but it is not as catastrophic as your new invention. Change your mind and attitude so as to shrink the exaggerated thought back to its original size.</p>
<p>To change your inner dialogue you must catch it in action. To do this you have to pay attention to yourself. You must engage in self-observation and listen to it. So next time when you catch your inner voice thinking negatively; STOP it on its tracks, arrest it and get rid of it immediately.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><div class="note"><div class="noteclassic"><strong>Self-discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don&#8217;t control what you think, you can&#8217;t control what you do. Simply, self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward.</strong> </div></div></div>
<p>Just like a wild horse that needs to be tamed, it requires patience and determination to tame that beast. Its the same with your inner voice, you need patience, willingness and determination to tame it. It&#8217;s not easy, but YES you can tame it. It can be done, don&#8217;t be discouraged!</p>
<p>Once your inner voice is tamed it will submit under your authority and begin to work on your favor. You&#8217;ll begin to think positively and strategically while experiencing positive outcomes in your life! That&#8217;s exactly what you need!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Each Day Is A New Canvas To Paint Upon. Make Sure Your Picture Is Full of Life &amp; Happiness, &amp; At The End of The Day You Don&#8217;t Look At It &amp; Wish You Had Painted Something Different! &#8211; Unknown </strong></span></h3>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-501" title="sunrise" src="http://simonpreacher.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/sunrise.jpg" alt="sunrise Its A New Day!" width="500" height="334" />D</strong><strong>on&#8217;t waste your time on things that are not important!</strong> As you go through the day, watch your thoughts. For the future depends on what you think of today. You reap what you sow!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t waste time pondering on negative thoughts. They are of no value and save no useful purpose! Consciously choose what you should think of and let it be something positive.</p>
<p>Watch your attitude towards others! Should you waste your day being angry with someone? Is there any reward you get for doing that? NO!</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><span style="font-family: georgia,bookman old style,palatino linotype,book antiqua,palatino,trebuchet ms,helvetica,garamond,sans-serif,arial,verdana,avante garde,century gothic,comic sans ms,times,times new roman,serif;">You live longer once you realize that any time spent being unhappy is wasted.  ~Ruth E. <span class="misspell">Renkl</span></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Don&#8217;t spend your day arguing with people. Nothing wrong with productive arguments but if you keep on arguing and getting stressed because you want to win an argument, you gain nothing from it. Stay away from arguments that takes you nowhere.</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><span style="font-family: georgia,bookman old style,palatino linotype,book antiqua,palatino,trebuchet ms,helvetica,garamond,sans-serif,arial,verdana,avante garde,century gothic,comic sans ms,times,times new roman,serif;">Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.  ~Stephen Vincent <span class="misspell">Benét</span></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Live your day productively. Do the things that are important to you. Tell your loved ones, you love them. Pick up that phone and call someone you haven&#8217;t spoken with for a long time. Tell someone you care and understand. Give someone time by listening to them.</p>
<p>If you are working, do those things that are productive. Don&#8217;t spend the day doing unproductive tasks or gossiping or criticizing other people. You are better than that!</p>
<p>You are in charge of your day. There are times when there are emergencies beyond your control &#8211; that&#8217;s understandable. Apart from that, you are in charge of how your day should be lived. You&#8217;re in charge of your attitude and disposition.</p>
<p><strong>You Make A Choice</strong></p>
<p>No one can make your day greater and joyful if you are not willing to make it that way. Choose to be happy, loving, giving, hardworking and cheerful throughout the day! Seize the day! &#8211; Carpe Diem.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn&#8217;t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I&#8217;m going to be happy in it &#8211; Groucho Marx</strong></p></blockquote>
