Create Change in your life

It doesn’t take any more effort to think about how you could earn $10,000 in a year than $1,000,000. If you go away and ask yourself how you could come up with an extra 10,000 your mind would then go away and come up with an answer maybe not right away, but it would certainly still find one eventually or at least come up with some ideas. The same is true of 1,000,000 it would take no more effort to think about how it would be possible, it may take longer (or maybe it wouldn’t) but you would have to run the same programs in your mind, ‘how could I earn this much money’, the figures will only direct your thoughts to find an appropriate strategy, you are not guaranteed of either and at this initial stage of thought you are simply using your imagination to come up with possibilities.

Yet most people wouldn’t even bother to start with such high figures, instead there would be a barrier in their mind that said it would be impossible.

Everybody is equally apt at coming up with ways to make money, however the figure you place on it will ultimately determine the kind of results you will get. Because to make more money will require you to think in grander terms, for example more people buying what you have to sell or whatever.

The point being that at this early stage of thought there should be no barriers, to what you perceive to be possible for yourself, none at all.

A powerful tool

Your mind is a powerful tool and it is something that needs to be working for you at all times, never against you. You control your own mind and your own thoughts, every single one of them.

Most people would probably say their minds controlled them, it doesn’t, our mind is a tool to be used as effectively as possible. Your brain can take you to wherever you want to go in life, it is equally capable and happy to take you to places where you don’t want to be. The highest highs and also the lowest lows, you decide.

Say the word ‘beach’ and what do you think about? Picture an apple tree and what do you see? You control everything that happens in your own mind. There is great power in this, the power comes from the life you will lead as a result of what happens in your mind first.

You can direct your brain at all times, you can tell it where you want to go. If you don’t control your brain then who does? And if you don’t learn to manipulate your own mind to get what you want then what will the consequences of this be?

The meaning makers

The meaning you give to anything is whatever you decide to hold in your mind. Reality is whatever meaning you decide to place on the events that happen in your life. It is from the eyes of your mind that your future life will be created, reality isn’t necessarily what happens to you right now, reality is what you decide to feel about what happens right now, the perception you attribute to the thoughts you think and the world you see is what makes it real to you.

When you manipulate things in your mind, ideas, concepts, thoughts, you change the outer aspects of your world. A mind made concept is something that has no existence in the real world it is formed in the mind only, you can’t make a movie of a belief you have, you can only make a movie of the actions of that belief.

We all decide what meanings we give to the events we have in our life, and also the thoughts we think, and we are able to change this meaning at any time, the meanings we give to things that have happened in the past do not have to be the meanings we attribute to these things in the future.

Meanings and the perceptions of the events and even the ideas you have are all mind made concepts.

“Meaning is to hold in mind.”
“Meaning in an invented reality”

So it is all choice, we might not believe it at first, but our lives are indeed based on the choices we have made and will continue to make in the future. So in order to create a better life for ourselves and indeed others, it is in our best interests to first decide to form empowering beliefs about ourselves, and what we can do and create in our life.

Saying we can’t do this or that, looking at our life as it is today and not believing it will be different in the future are not the most useful things we can or should be doing with our mind. What you want to be doing with your mind is reminding yourself of how great your future will be, how you have got what it takes to get you there and what exactly you will do to make it happen. There are essentially two roads your mind can take you, the road which leads to where you want to be, and the road which leads to the place you don’t want to be. You want to be focusing on where you want to be going at all times.

Your mind is a tool to be used here and now, and you decide exactly where it will take you at all times, always remember this.

Your past needs to be left alone and not bought with you into your present if you are working towards creating a better life for yourself. Your past never has to be an indication of all you can do in the future, unfortunately for many people this is not the case, they give life to their past by constantly thinking about it in their minds and so in some way it does get in the way of the actions they take in the present moment.

Don’t waste time doing this, as much as possible plan all that is to be in your future, and spend your time focusing in the steps that you need to take now for it all to happen. The more you do this the greater your chance of success will be.

There are many great things about to happen in your future which deserve your attention and your time, and it is this which you should be devoting your actions to in this present moment.

If you have beliefs about certain things not happening in the future because they have not happened in the past, then understand that they should not be given any life in your present and certainly not in your future? Don’t spend time dwelling on what has or hasn’t happened in your life up until this current point where you find yourself.

Become more optimistic about your future, get excited about all the good things you will get to do and all the new things you will learn. You can have the life you want, but you have to stop thinking about you past.

It is important to adopt an attitude of ‘anything is possible’ for your life and it is equally important to leave the unproductive thoughts behind. An attitude of ‘I am the way I am, and that is how it will always be’ won’t help to move your life forward. Neither will ‘I’ve never been good at this before, what makes now so different’?

If you are planning on changing your life then all these attitudes need to be left behind. Instead of focusing your attention on the past, choose to focus it on creating new realities for yourself now.

With the actions you take each day you are creating a new history for yourself, become aware of this and do not underestimate the affects of even the tiniest action you take in this present moment.

“Your future history is being created right now, this minute.”

Start facing up to truths about who is responsible for your future. It is only the actions you take now that will ever dictate what will happen in your future. You can make something happen for yourself, believe this possible and accept no statements to the contrary. The only person who can ever get in your way of making something good happen for yourself is you.

This is your time, your reality and your life. Don’t live in somebody else’s shoes, your life is your responsibility and no one else’s.

The actions we have taken in the past have bought us to where we are now, this is a fact. Look around you now, you are where you are because of a decision or decisions you made at some earlier or perhaps quite recent time in your life. There is nobody else to blame for where you are right now, if there is anyone is to blame at all. Accept it as it is, if you are happy to, if not then change it.

All life experiences are useful

Whatever you experience in life good or bad, you are always in a position to look upon it as a learning experience; doing so enables you to move your life forward in a new positive direction. If you have had a bad experience, instead of dwelling on the negative, take what learning’s you can from it and move on.

Always look upon life as a learning experience, if you have experienced something today that you haven’t experienced before, good or bad you are now more knowledgeable than you were yesterday, is this not a fact, and with this new knowledge you are in a better position to make a more informed decision on where you should be tomorrow or further into the future.

There is no greater teacher than experience, when you experience something you gain a firsthand account of what it feels like, looks like and even smells like. This knowledge will never leave you, and whenever there is a time when you need to make a decision about what to do in the future, you will, if you need to, be able to reference past experiences to help make a better more informed decision.

It is sometimes better in life to take action, get the experience, learn from it and move on, even if it isn’t the most enjoyable or you think you have wasted your time, you haven’t. You have always learnt something.
