George Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them."
Well, it's pretty apparent, isn't it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about.
Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn't know where he's going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety and worry - his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing... he becomes nothing.
How does it work? Why do we become what we think about? Well, I'll tell you how it works, as far as we know. To do this, I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind.
Suppose a farmer has some land, and it's good, fertile land. The land gives the farmer a choice; he may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn't care. It's up to the farmer to make the decision.
We're comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn't care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn't care what you plant.
Now, let's say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand- one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds-one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters and takes care of the land...and what will happen? Invariably, the land will return what was planted.
As it's written in the Bible, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap."
Remember the land doesn't care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants - one corn, one poison.
The human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land, but it works the same way. It doesn't care what we plant...success...or failure. A concrete, worthwhile goal...or confusion, misunderstanding, fear, anxiety and so on. But what we plant it must return to us.
You see, the human mind is the last great unexplored continent on earth. It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams. It will return anything we want to plant.

My uncle Tony got married on Thursday night up at the Cliff Lodge to an amazing lady named Wendy. The ceremony was really nice. The food was really nice and of course our being with family was really nice too. Grandma and Grandpa got permission from their M.P. to come to the wedding and it was a treat for us to see them. 
to dust. It was with a purpose this past weekend though. I wanted to put one of my prized posessions on some Big Hat Boxes that were up above my door in an alcove. So needless to say I climbed up on a ladder and sat for about 45 minutes and dusted rearranged and took the boxes down to be used. This is about the only time you'll ever see my in my jammies with out makeup with my hair not done in a picture. ( quite scary) I got what I wanted out of the deal and that's all that matters though. One of my treasure's is put in a new place. 
We are always outside if you didn't notice..... hubs is going to be mad at this post because it's of his backside but oh well. Then he conjured up the idea to jump over one of our kiddo's. It literally scared the H*L* out of me. He did it though by a mile and Boo Boo was laughing of course the whole time.
It started off with our family going to the Demolition derby last Friday... This is a yearly occurance all though our location has changed to the Salt Lake County Fair instead of Kamas Days. ( Yes, we have indulged in this honky white trash event for a very long time.) We were impressed as we have seen our share of demo.derb's. Boo-Boo loved to watch with his Grandpa.
