Just thinking about all those happy songs we learned as kids put a big smile on my face. One of those songs stuck out because it included the name of my Blog “You know it”. If you aren’t happy you will get happy fast singing that song and clapping your hands, whether it brings back memories or just makes you feel silly for singing and clapping you can’t help but put a smile on your face when you sing it and clap. Being happy and knowing it isn’t something that just happens, you have to intend to be happy and know your happy (and then clap your hands). Where the heck am I going with this ? When the song popped into my head, it just made sense to use it as the title for today’s post and it was fitting because it is what I am all about, being happy and knowing it.
I started down my path of reclaiming the old Tim Braun sometime in late July, instead of focusing on all the bad stuff that had happened the past two years, I made up my mind to focus only on what I wanted to happen and what I wanted to attract to my life. I cut out all the negative including news and talk programs on radio and tv and even the newspaper. I excused myself from conversations with people that slipped into discussion of negative events or thoughts and I totally focused on everything good. Today, I had a few minutes to reflect on all the good stuff that has come my way since I changed my thinking in late July and I am happy to report that “Thoughts really do become Things”. I attracted two full time adventures (some might call them jobs), while those two adventures take up 16 hours a day, I really enjoy both of them and this week, on the same exact day, I not only got promoted but got significant raises after less than a month on the job at both places. If that wasn’t enough, I got an email out of the blue for another incredible opportunity that just happens to involve my favorite sport “Baseball” and a huge name in the game. The timing on this last opportunity was unbelievable and no one can tell me any of the events of the past couple months are just a coincidence, there is a direct connection between my thoughts and what has shown up in my life. It is exactly the way things always used to work for me. And there’s even more, if you followed my blogs on the miracle I needed, that showed up just a couple days later, you know it involved foreclosures and a certain high profile mortgage company. Now I am not paying attention to the news, but my wife informed me today that not only is the Minnesota Attorney General investigating this company’s practices but all 50 states have now opened an investigation into this company and others. Truly amazing things are happening and it is all a direct result of changing my mindset to know these things were going to happen for me.
I know this can work for you too ! After 51 years of experience, I not only want to create the life I had dreamed of but I want to help others to do the same. There is nothing I enjoy more than getting people fired up and believing in themselves and knowing they can create the life they want. I think that is probably the main reason I am enjoying my little adventures so much, whether I am interacting with customers at the gas station in the middle of the night or talking to young sales people at the mall kiosk early in the morning, it is always fun to see the transformation in people when I share my secrets with them.
Sleep ? who needs sleep ? The number one question I get these days is ” When do you sleep ?” and that is usually followed by “How can you always be so happy and energized working all those hours ?” Well first of all, I don’t really get tired and secondly, I am not working, I am on an adventure and adventures get me excited and energized. To be honest, I might get a little sleepy from time to time, but everything that is happening is exactly as I dreamed it over the past few months and in my dreams I was never tired. When you are happy and energized you can do amazing things. Are you happy right now ? Why not ? did you try clapping your hands ? Come on…you are happy and you know it !
I do need to spend a little more time writing my blog as I miss writing daily and the power that comes from writing is hard to do without. What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail ? Anything is possible and after reminding myself of the power I had for years and that it really does work, I intend to ramp things up and continue to share the progress, not just on paper but also through my video blog which I will be launching soon on You Tube and linking here. Make it a great day and do yourself a favor, make up your mind to know your happy and while you are at it, clap your hands.
