15.We all have some negative thought patterns.(36)ESome come through our families,some from teachers or mentors,some from society,some from the media and the list goes on.A key to transforming negative patterns is to recognize them.Once you are aware of them,you have the choice to change them.Do you recognize any of these?Say No more than YES.Are you one of those people who always reject other people's plans and ideas?(37)FThis is a sure way to tell someone their ideas are not good enough and that yours are better.Try to go long with someone's idea just once to see what happens.

Always say you should have.We hear this all the time."You should have done this or that."We are assuming that we know what is best for someone else.The truth may be that we don't.we are each on a journey with our own experiences.

Play the blame game.(40)GWe love to blame the economy,government,family,boss or friends for our current situations.It is so much easier to transfer the blame to something or someone else than to take responsibility for our situations.We all have choices and how we use them is up to us.If you don't like the choice you made,choose again.
