Have you heard it yet, the shattering of New Year's Resolutions breaking....yea that is why I tend to look at making goals instead. I also learned that I have any number of bright ideas that when I put them into action, not so bright any more. This year I am working on an aspect that my first counselor tried to get me to understand. He asked me who I was and I gave him a bunch of information on what I do. Here's the deal. When I set a SMART goal it is tracked by what I do. For example, I want to become kinder, I do more kind things. I want to be more patient, I let another driver in front of me on the freeway. When I want to become some trait, I do those things that represent that trait. But I do not integrate the trait right away it is part of the doing. When I was small I watched the movie the "King and I." The song whistle a happy tune was a big part of my growing up years.

Make believe what you want to become then you actually become what you believe. At first I thought lying to myself was just one more delusion to overcome. However, as I study articles about doing to becoming I am changing my mind about this. If you are aware that you are scared and choose to act bravely, a person becomes brave. This is not a lie. This is not about self deception. It is choosing a path, an attribute, or attitude then acting on what I want to be.
“The mind is everything. What you think you become.”
Buddha quotes (Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.)

the power of positivity, of hope, creates and engenders within us a core belief that we are more, life is better, and we are moving forward. You become the change you desire. It is a beautiful thing with first the belief then the manifestation.
