Hi there,
I've been going through the course lessons and am on day 8. I had a unique situation occur that led to my initial reading of Science of Getting Rich. I was in a store and picked up 3 books - one was William Wattle's book and one was Hulk Hogan's biography. He lives near me and I thought it might be fascinating to read more about what happened with him and his family. Anyway, the book ends with him reading another book based on Wattle's work that I will not mention. Well, the book was really uplifting and all about attitude and a change in thinking and gratitude. I had stayed up all night reading it. Of course, I IMMEDIATELY picked up The Science of Getting Rich and began to read it. It's changed my life already. Then blessedly I was led to this site and joined the community! Thank you Rebecca!!!!

Here is where I am on my journey:

I am working on changing negatives into positive - I feel about 60-70% successful and still working on it.

• I am trying to turn off the depressing news of the day as Wattles suggests.
  
• I am trying to choose the images i see and read about more carefully.
  
• I am working through these lessons each day
  
• I am working on my CMI.
  

I am an author and up until this had decided that while I had published in Non fiction, I'd never publish in fiction - just not a good enough writer even though I have great ideas. Since this course, I've decided that I can write the novels I have inside, and not only that but they will be bestsellers. They will inspire others and I will be inspired to continue to write the rest of my life. I will achieve every desire I want.

Anyway, Thanks so much for reading! I am a work in progress and still have to fight certain negative thoughts but I am working to change that everyday. I love the 3 minute exercise from LL7 - thanks so much for that!!!!!

Have a wonderful day!
Melissa

Welcome to the course and to these forums Melissa!

I'm happy to hear that you have something that you would like to do for the rest of your life; writing!

I have determined to be a student and a teacher for the rest of my life; my subjects are Peace, Health and Prosperity! I do feel that I would be well served by taking a writing course! Thanks for the inspiration!

fight certain negative thoughts

Hi Melissa,

Welcome to the forum!

I suggest that rather than fighting your negative thoughts, you focus on being grateful and joyful with your positive ones.
Whatever we think about....

God bless you,

Great advice, Caroline! My wording when I go back and read that reveals so much - "fighting negative thoughts." I really appreciate you helping me look at it from a different point of view!

Welcome Melissa,

I'm so excited for you. You're off to a great start. Always remember that it should be fun and easy.

Love and Blessings,
Rachel
