Once again we will use inspirational quotes to kick off our conversation.
Quotes from folks who have known truly hard times, but were also aware of the power of positive thinking.
If you want to be happy, prosperous and fulfill your purpose here on earth....listen to those who have gone before you. Please confirm your attendance so that I can have sufficient Dunkin Donuts supplies.

Have a great month everybody!

For those who desire to learn more about positive thinking, it is wise to study the lives and writings of those who have gone before us.
Want to learn the lay of a land? Go with a travel guide that's not only been there, but lived there as well!

I will provide inspirational quotes from some law of attraction practitioners, and I will provide a very brief description of their background. You will then read the quote and interpret. No need to be shy or fearful, we are all here to learn and grow. There aren't really any wrong answers, things are as you see them, perception is everything. We can be enlightened however in certain areas of our life through this activity and I think that is really the bottom line... enlightenment leads to growth... and enlightenment can shed light in dark places.

Are you with me?? :)

I want to continue on the documentation thread, the importance of documenting the mental images you have of your life.

I want to touch on two things in the next meeting:
1- using journaling during extremely stressful times to document emotions, pros and cons list, desired outcomes, etc.
I am seeking to hear the stories of everyday folks like yourself, that practice certain elements of the law of attraction, like keeping a journal or a recording of your ideas or desires. Or perhaps you document through other avenues, like maybe your art, or music or who knows....I'm open to listening and learning.....I hope you will do the same with me :)
2- should one go public with a journal, for example a blog, personal website, etc.
This is just a matter of pure opinion. But does it push the envelope when you not only document your hopes and dreams, but also put those thoughts and visions out there for the public to see.....If you are a person deeply convicted about the power of writing your visions, will it catapult you to the "next level" to put your words out for all the world to see??
My curious mind wants to know :)

Topic: Documentation- Practiced by those who feel the necessity to take their desire to the next level. The first step is to desire; the second is to document and with as much detail as possible.

To ponder: How important is it to write your thoughts down? Should one craet a written record of goals, big dreams and/or profound heartfelt desires?

Objective: We want to explore the power this process has when used as the “first step” towards realization of your vision.

Group Responsibilities:
1- Each member is asked to share a quote from someone who used this method as part of their formula for achieving success in business, health, relationships and/or spirituality, etc
2- Each member is asked to share one personal experience of how writing down how you saw and felt your desire somehow (because we never know how), fulfilled that desire and its fulfillment exceeded your expectations.

Sharing time: We will divide the number of friends that arrive into 75 minutes to have a rough gauge of how much time each will have to share. Everybody on the same page will help things to have a smooth flow.

Participation Fee: At this time there will be no fee. I felt led to participate in Meetup.com and because it is my suggestion to get together and do this thing, I wish to incur the responsibility of the cost. Which, quite frankly, I don’t see that there will be any cost, although I was thinking about providing coffee from Dunkins. Further down the road I see us all bringing goodies to snack on.

Future meeting topics will also be discussed.
