Create Change in your life

The biggest roadblock to achieving something in your life, making the change, getting what you want, living the life you most want will not be a lack of ideas because we all have them, it won’t be a lack of money, although some will disagree, (I urge you instead to work extra hours, get another job, save, make sacrifices, get a loan or whatever), it will not be for lack of intelligence, or a lack of knowledge, it will also not be a lack of potential, while they might all appear legitimate reasons, or excuses they will not stop you and nor should they ever stop you from having what you want in your life.

I am here to tell you that the biggest roadblock will always be you. You will be the one who stops taking action, not because you physically can’t but because you lose faith in yourself, or your idea, or whatever it is that you are currently working on. And once you do, your mind will open the doors to all manner of excuses, while you might have once before seen yourself living a better life, if you stop believing it to be possible and that you are indeed capable of making it happen, then like a house of cards everything will come falling down.

So if you have an idea or are currently working on a goal, or a vision for a better future for yourself, one which you have previously perceived yourself as capable of living, then for goodness sake, keep going.

If you are already on your journey of creating the changes you want in your life, then sometimes it pays to take a step back and see where you were not that long ago, and where you are now, and then to congratulate yourself on getting to where you are and knowing that you will go much further, remember where you are is always where you are meant to be. It will always be as a result of the action you have taken or maybe lack of action.

Don’t let self doubt have the final word, stay on track, it is you vs you, nobody else is involved.

Keep going, stay focused on where you want to go and what you want to happen.

Disease and injury aside, you have more potential then you could ever realise. Your mind can be the greatest tool for getting what you want, however for most people who fall short on their plans or goals, it is their mind or rather their self doubt, lack of belief and continual negativity that is the reason they don’t get what they want.

We are all capable of so much. Learn to rise above the mind and to always continually take action until you have what you want.

Look at the reasons your life isn’t as you would like it to be right now, (if indeed this is the case) now be honest and ask yourself why is this? Is it because you are just starting out on creating your ideal life, is it because what you want to happen is unlikely to appear overnight, if it is then this is OK, this is the stage you are at right now, you will move on and be further along when you continue to take action. Now on the other hand, is the reason you are where you are right now down to a limiting belief, or negativity, or mind made self doubt? If it is then you are being your own roadblock, you are making up delays on getting to where you most want to be. Stop this now. You can have what you want in life, but do yourself a big favour first, remove the roadblocks, or rather don’t put them there in the first place, only then you will fly….

How much of what you have worried about has ever actually happened to you? Here you are with so much potential worrying about what may or may not happen in the future, is your position such that you really need to be concerning yourself with something which is just a mind made concept in your head? If the life you are creating for yourself happens, and only you can determine whether it does or not, won’t these days where you are worried about whether or not it would happen seem a little pathetic?

You are creating something bigger than you have ever created before, that will allow you to live a life unimaginable just a few years ago. Your goal is achievable and can be done by you; don’t ever lose sight of that.

“If there is a solution to the problem, there is no need to worry. If there is no solution, there is no sense in worrying either.”
Dalai Lama

“Ten years from now the problem you are worrying about will be completely meaningless and totally irrelevant.”

All you have to do is think of the life you will be living and use it as motivation to continue taking action now.

Worrying is a mindless concern for every possible eventuality, it is pointless

Living in the future can be a cause of anxiety because if you were living in the now, what would you have to be nervous about?

A new definition of worry might be something like this:

Worry: A type of thinking that results in new mind made concepts that serve no other purpose then to produce anxiety and stress in a person’s life.

If you are worrying about something are you living in the present moment or are you somewhere else completely? Worrying about the future, what future? It doesn’t exist except in your own head.

• What have you got to worry about in your day to day life?
• What is it about your job that worries you?
• What is it about your relationship that worries you?
• What is it about your financial situation that worries you?

It is all imagined.

There are many bad habits in the world and worrying is one of them, if you are guilty of it then consider it something you have to quit. If you have money worries, I think you will agree that worrying about them will not solve anything, but taking action to come up with a new way to earn more money or brainstorming ways to cut your expenses might.

Worrying is born out of a lack of confidence in yourself; it is a lack of confidence in your ability to handle situations when and indeed if they were to occur. If the problem was large and in your face you wouldn’t have time to worry as you would be too busy taking action to do something about it.

How about using anxiety as a motivational strategy, I mean if you are constantly worrying then why not instead of worrying take action in the present moment to do something about what you are worrying about. If you are unable to do that, then what is the point in worrying? If you jump out of a plane without a parachute what will worrying about it solve? Nothing!

So cut down on this habit that can paralyze you. Rarely do the things that you worry about ever come true. So what’s the point? Worrying is just an ineffective way of thinking about things that may or may not happen in your life. So stop worrying and start living.

Limiting beliefs are easily formed but sometimes but hard to get rid of. Sometimes it isn’t good to take life too seriously and this applies especially to our negative and limiting beliefs. If this is something you can identify with, what can you do to break out of it? If you find yourself t

Belief is fundamental before you will achieve anything in life. It may sound obvious, but it is very true, if you don’t believe something will happen in the future by the actions you take today, you will not even bother to start. Belief is a fundamental ingredient if you are to manifest any change in your life. When you don’t believe you always look for ways to confirm (normally by way of inaction) what you don’t believe will happen to be true. This is very easy to do.

So it is important when you set off on making changes to any aspect of your life that you first believe you can do it, and this means really believing even to the point of expectation, like you completely and utterly believe you will be able to carry out whatever goal or plan you have set for yourself.

There are probably many reasons why people don’t achieve what they want in life, one of the reasons will be a lack of belief. So you have to believe and you also have to….

• Encourage yourself
• Respect and think highly of yourself
• Keep on taking action until the life you want manifests itself

It may sound very simple but is there really a need to complicate things?

Is there really a secret to all this, to living your ideal life, I am not sure, but fundamentally at the core of any journey or path to a better life, there has to be faith, belief, self-confidence, and a healthy respect for yourself that you are indeed deserving and entitled to lead the life you want for yourself, and of course you are, but it is important that you firmly believe this when you set out on your journey.

In the early stages of change, it will be so much easier to give up and do something else. But the people who you see now living the life you most want to live could probably have given up as well, but they didn’t instead they kept on going and so should you.

There should be no need to get bogged down by negativity, observe it, and be aware of it if it happens in your life, but never let it have the final say. You will have the final say when you are living and breathing your ideal life.

When you have a goal in mind or something you want to achieve, you have to be positive about it and believe it will be possible right from the very first moment the thought enters your head. For example, I want this…. and yes I believe I can do it. I will do it., I will take action until it happens.

That’s it. No self doubt, no worry and certainly no ‘it will never happen’, or ‘it’s impossible’, because they will not help you.

The reality you live and will live in the future is dictated to by your thoughts and beliefs. So if you don’t believe something will happen or indeed it is possible guess what will transpire in the coming weeks and months?

First of all decide what it is that you want?

Now look around in as many places as you can and see if it has been done before?

If it has then you already know it is possible, you don’t have to believe because you already know it has been done before. So just get on with it and make it happen for yourself. You are no different to others who have made it happen you are just at a different stage in your journey.

If it hasn’t been done before, get ready to be the first to ever do it. It doesn’t mean it is impossible, it just means that it hasn’t been done yet. If you want to create something that hasn’t been done before believe you can do it and start taking action. There are many things in this world that were not always here, and so the person bringing them into manifestation would have not seen any examples of what they wanted to happen but he or she would have still carried on believing and taking action, and so should you.

Nothing is impossible, only the mind makes it so. Successful people are sometimes those that just kept going, carried on believing in themselves and never stopped taking action. It is not rocket science.

Believe it can be done always, because otherwise the moments of disbelief, will turn into days of inaction, which will delay you getting to where you want to be.

So first you have to……

• Always believe it will happen, and sometimes it is just better to know it will happen
• Keep encouraging yourself
• Look at where you were and where you are now
• Set short term targets
• Keep taking action until the life you want transpires in front of you

The simpler you can make it the better, it doesn’t have to be nor should creating the changes you most want in your life be difficult or hard. Take things bit by bit, and eventually you to will have a story to tell about how you completely changed your life around.

If the life you want has been done before then you should not be your own roadblock to success. Just keep on keeping on. Don’t make it harder than it needs to be.

When you think negatively you don’t think about life in a very positive way. The negativity will cause you to cloud your thinking, it will cause you to dwell on the past and worry about the future. The question to ask is what is the point of your negative thinking, why are you doing it? Is it because you are feeling bad, stressed, angry, uncomfortable, restless, depressed? The result is a very un-resourceful state which you stay stuck in. The mind will then stay negative and you may even feel angry about feeling negative, so it then becomes an endless cycle of negativity.

Rather than think of all the plans you have made for the future, you instead immediately lower your sights about what you think is possible for yourself. You will start to dwell on your limitations, and your thoughts will be taken over with anger about the past and fear for the future.

Negative thinking will take you to the place where you don’t want to go, the exact place you are trying hard to move away from. Negative thought patterns will crush you.

Now there are certain events which can trigger off a chain of negative thinking, we are human and sometimes we get the blues? We can allow our thoughts to dominate us at times, but we shouldn’t let our minds control us like this. The mind is available for you to use anyway you want. It is capable of taking you to the highest highs, it is also equally capable of taking you to the lowest lows, you need to make sure that yours takes you to the highest highs.

• Do you spend time being negative?
• Do you look at things in your life in a negative way?
• Do you think negative thoughts about your life and your future life?
• Do you sometimes feel like just giving up, or giving up on yourself?

If your negative thinking is left untreated it can be seriously bad for your health and eventually lead to suicidal thoughts.

How is this happening?

You are thinking hopeless thoughts for the future.
You don’t perceive that there is anything worth living for.
You believe you don’t actually deserve to succeed.
You belief you are destined to live a miserable existence.

“Negative beliefs are barriers that have to be overcome before we can even hope to go any further in our lives.”

“We are all worth more than we already have and everybody deserves a shot at something better.”

“Negativity is like a poison that can ruin the human spirit and suck the life right out of you. Negativity is born from concepts invented in your mind about what you cannot or will not be able to have or do and feeling powerless to do anything about it.”

You can do something

There may be times when in your life people tell you that you can’t do something, probably when you were younger and also perhaps as you have gotten older.

However the statement left in its original form ‘You can’t do something’ will have little meaning, it is only when we change the statement and repeat it back to ourselves with an ‘I’ that it can really affect us.

It then becomes an identity statement, a statement that your brain starts to believe to be true, a statement that will not only cause you to have doubts about your ability to do something; it will also affect your behavior and actions.

Turning it around

There are times when we sometimes don’t have the skills to carry out a particular task, when this happens rather than say to yourself ‘I can’t do this’, say ‘I can’t do this yet’. Don’t form a limiting belief from one small event that happens in your life. Your confidence levels can really drop when you do this. When you form a negative belief it affects your actions as well as your feelings. Not having the skills at a particular task is one thing but it is a completely different story when you form a lasting negative belief from it.
