Fuel the Right Tank!

Fuel is damn expensive these days and keeping our tanks full is costly, but it's necessary to get around.

Consider for a moment, another type of fuel tank and that's your mind.

Our minds are beautiful, malleable, intricate, and powerful tools we can use to reach enormous heights.

The challenge is, we often shrink back from trying to chase our goals and dreams because we don't control our thinking.

Here's where the power lies! Consider your mind to have two separate fuel tanks side by side to form one large tank that keeps us motoring.

One side, will feed us negative thoughts. We will see the bad in all things. The weather is too cold, the relationship is meh, the business opportunities mediocre. And when we add fuel to this tank it works very efficiently to keep pumping us with evidence to support all the negativity we see.  A full negativity tank will tell us every reason why we are selfish for wanting more, don't have the time or we're unworthy of investing in our personal development. It's that nasty voice we need to control.

Now, on the other side we have a positive fuel tank. This tank, when full, shows us how grateful we are to have woken up today, to feel the crisp air, to be alive, and to appreciate the abundance all around us.   The positive voice will tell you every reason why you're just as deserving as the next person, you are a person of excellence, and you were made for more. Most importantly, that voice will instill belief in you and tell you that you can.

You and I control which tank to fuel with our thoughts. We fill our positive tank when we eliminate the endless news and scrolling on social, we read motivational books, we take time to revere the day in a state of gratitude and we guard our minds with positive words.

Here's the mind-blowing part...simply deciding which tank to fill will be the gas that fuels our engine (our mind), our outlook, our day and ultimately our success in life!
