It’s not your fault, and how could you be to blame when you weren’t aware of what you were doing in the first place? Let’s face it, you don’t know what you don’t know. However, all that’s about to change because you are going to have a new awareness.
Now you know that it’s been your thoughts, the way your mind has been working, that has brought you the life you now have. You can take responsibility for what you’ve created so far, and that will give you a new power to change what you create for your future.
Remember that until now, most may not have realized that they were the ones creating all the negative circumstances in their lives.
These circumstances are the result of living with your brain on autopilot.
We go through our days doing the same things in the same way every day. We have our routines that we’ve established over time in order to cope with everything involved in operating in our world.
However, many of those old routines are based on the old limited thinking of the past. These routines that we go through on autopilot are based on ideas and beliefs we were sold and bought into about how we are supposed to live our lives.
Very few of us have actually made the effort to examine what we do and the thought process behind what we do. We just go from day to day giving little thought to why we do and think the way we do. It’s this lack of thought that has us bouncing from one circumstance to the next, living a life that has little or no direction.
The people you see and read about that seem to constantly hit gold in everything they do, they have control over their thinking and the rest of us don’t. They have the ability to discard thinking that doesn’t serve them. This allows these rare few to think only in ways that will help them move in the direction they want to go.
These people who are the innovators and creators of success, wealth and abundance, have essentially rejected the out-of-date programs that the rest of us are still living by. They don’t accept anything at face value and they question everything.
If an idea or a thought doesn’t serve them, they dismiss it. They understand that negativity and limited thinking will only keep them from what they want.
In contrast, most of us are so bogged down with polluted thinking that we don’t see the opportunities when they are right there in front of us. When we do see them, we hear a voice in our head telling us how we’ve always failed in the past and aren’t good enough, smart enough or worthy of that kind of success in life.
We might even shut the voice down for a while, long enough to investigate and maybe even take some initial steps toward the goal. We may get inspired and excited about the possibilities. Then that negative voice comes back and we start to listen. It tells us how we don’t deserve it. It tells us that we don’t know how to do this. It tells us that we can’t do it because we’ve never done it before.
Before long we’ve given up. We are beaten-up and feel like we are stuck in a rut that is so deep, we can never climb out.
Now don’t think that circumstances don’t show up in their world. Don’t think for a second that these people don’t face challenges in their lives every day, just like you and I do. They just have a different way of thinking about those challenges.
Most of us, when an obstacle appears, dedicate all our focus on the obstacle itself. We keep looking at it, all the while telling ourselves we’re working on the solution. The reality is, as long as that obstacle is our focus, the solution will never come to us.
The other people, they instinctively understand that focusing on the problem will only make the problem bigger. By keeping the problem minimized, they open up their creative abilities to find the solution to the problem. Once they have a possible solution, they put it in action and get back to achieving what they want.
The only difference between the winners and the ones who never play the game is the mindset they bring to the game. The winners have control over their minds and they know how to tune out the messages that don’t serve them. The rest are prisoners of their own minds.
