We control but one thing in our lives - our state of mind.

Funny then that most people (they're normal, they're just a little crazy!) fret about not being in control of everything and everyone else in their lives over which they have no control!

But - and this is a really important but - when you do take control of your own state of mind, you greatly enhance your ability to influence everyone and everything around you.

So, what's the best state of mind to be in? Is a positive state of mind better than a negative one? Does positive thinking work?

Well the last question can be answered really quickly: positive thinking is just more thinking - of course it doesn't work.

There's only one state of mind worth being in... a present state of mind. When you're present, you have presence and, when you have presence, you make and leave just the right kind of impression on those around you.

You are the most important person in your life - you need to take responsibility for yourself and your state of mind now. When you do, everything changes and changes utterly.
