No, it’s not a new channel on your cable provider’s lineup and we’re not talking about some new-fangled thing on YouTube. Motivational speakers have been telling us for decades that “we become what we think about on a regular basis.” You don’t “catch” depression and you don’t “catch” happiness; you “create” it by the thoughts you put into your mind. Every day you must carefully CHOOSE what you read, listen to, the people you hang out with, etc. and filter out or eliminate the things that aren’t positive and encouraging.
If you catch yourself thinking about unhappiness or worrying about ill health or adversity, (I like to call it the “Gloom & Doom” Channel), “change the channel” and think about what you want to happen instead (the Dream Network). Believe that GOOD things are possible and will happen. Expectations have a way of coming true, whether they’re positive or negative.
Our achievements in life have always been limited by what we believe to be possible. When you focus your attention on what you want, otherwise hidden opportunities have a way of presenting themselves. The ninja of feudal Japan even had a special name for it; “kuji” was the study of focused intention, where thought, word and deed were combined to remove the gap that separates intention from successful action. Once the kuji technique was mastered, the ninja supposedly had the power to create physical reality by means of his intention alone. Focused intention became completed action itself; cause blended with effect until there was no longer a distinction.
What’s on your “Dream Network”? When’s the last time you watched it? How good is the reception in your head? Are you getting a clear picture, is it fuzzy, or God forbid, just a static channel?

Wanted: Mental TV Technician. I think my tuner needs repair as it seems to be drifting back to the “Gloom & Doom” Channel all the time. Every few minutes I have to manually switch it back to the “Dream Network”.

One thing that helped me a lot was reading Dr. John Lilly's book about Metaprogramming the Human Biocomputer. That helped me straighten myself out, back at the dawn of existence.
