Your thoughts and beliefs control your life experiences.  You are drawn to the things and the experiences to prove to yourself that your beliefs are correct.  So, if you believe that you don’t have enough money and you never will, guess what?  You won’t have enough money and you never will.  Because that’s what you believe.  You are drawing to you the experiences that will make that belief true to you.  You attract what you think about and what you believe.  So, be careful about what you think about and believe.  Be aware of your thoughts and beliefs and you can create the life you desire.  Your desires control your destiny.  So, start today, creating a better life, by being more aware of your beliefs and thoughts, getting rid of the negative ones and the ones that are not bringing you what you want, and create new, positive thoughts and beliefs that will bring to you what you want.

The Universe delivers what you ask for. And you ask for these things via your thoughts. So, suffice it to say, if you are thinking negatively, the Universe is going to deliver negative things. Don’t you think it’s about time to start changing your thinking patterns right now?

You might say that’s easier said than done. Well, I am here to help you gain a better perspective. It’s easier to do thank you think.

We are trained from a young age to think things are hard and that to get anything and anywhere in life, you have to work hard at it. While in a sense that can be true, but it’s not entirely true. Things only have to be hard if you make them hard. If you think that it takes hard work, then it WILL take hard work. Have you ever noticed people who things just come easily to? Guess what? They don’t have the thought that things need to be hard in order to achieve results. They think thoughts that things are easy to do.

It’s interesting how some people can pick up skills very easily, and others can’t seem to put two and two together in the same skill. Take me for example. I am a natural computer user. I have no fear of the computer. Computers come very easily to me. I am pretty much self-taught on computers. From formatting Word and Excel documents, to playing online computer games, to hand-coding HTML, it all comes very easy and natural to me. And I’m not even entirely sure why. It just does. And I embrace that. To me, my thoughts are computers are easy, they are natural, and they are nothing to be afraid of. Others who can’t seem to pick up computer skills to save their lives have thoughts of computers are hard, difficult, and unfriendly. So, naturally, the Universe is going to deliver to them, a hard time grasping those computer skills.

Now let’s talk next about turning negative thinking or statements into positive thinking or statements. Many people think that they are thinking positively, but they aren’t. And let me share with you why they are not really thinking positively. They make one big mistake. They follow up their thought or statement with a caveat, or a negative twist. Something like, “I feel great… I am in no pain”. Well, guess what, there’s that negative – there’s that “pain” that they thought they were getting rid of.

So, let’s do a little footwork to try to learn how to turn negative statements into positive statements. We need to totally get rid of the negative and keep it completely positive. Let’s start with some examples.

Say someone has a blood clot, or they have heart problems (blocked or clogged arteries). Instead of saying “I want to be free from any blockages or clogging”, let’s try something like “My blood flows through my arteries and veins freely, easily, and effortlessly”. See how that was completely positive, and actually said what the person wanted, and not what they don’t want? That’s what you have to do. Get away from thinking about what you don’t want because the more you focus on what you don’t want, the more you will get what you don’t want. Whether you want it or not, it’s what you are focused on that you will get. Let’s try another example. Say someone wants more money. Instead of saying “I want more money so that I can get out of debt” (see the negative on the end of that statement – debt?). Try something like “I have more than enough cash to provide me the services and goods that I want”. There, that’s completely positive and focuses entirely on what the person wants, instead of what they don’t want. Let’s try one more, just so that you have the idea down pat. Instead of “I feel great today… I’m not having any pain in my back” try “I feel great today… I can move my back freely and easily and have complete flexibility”. Bingo! Completely positive and focused on what the person wants.

I hope you’ve gotten the idea here. Take one thought, right now, that you have been thinking and take all negativity away from it and turn it totally positive. Focus on that positive statement. Give yourself a chance to succeed.

Do not fear success, fear failure. You can only fail if you let yourself. You are the creator of your life, so live well, my friends.

Have you stopped to think about you? About what YOU want? Not what you think others want, but what YOU truly want? Well, start now. No one is going to think about what YOU want, except for YOU.

A lot of people don’t think of what they want. They think about what other people want. They may think that they are thinking about what they want, but they would be wrong.

Too many times when thinking about what we want, we let other’s opinions factor in on what we think we are wanting for ourselves. Too many times we are thinking about what we think we are supposed to be thinking about. It’s time to stop that nonsense and start truly focusing in on ourselves and what we really want.

What do you want out of life? What kind of life do you want to have? And like I said, stop taking into consideration what you think others expect out of you. What do YOU expect out of you?

If you like stamp collecting, but you think that others will think you are lame or whatever for that. Stop thinking of them. Think of YOU. Do YOU enjoy it? Then DO it! Do what YOU enjoy.

Life is precious and we should be doing the things that make us happy and give us fulfillment. If we don’t then we have spent our lifetime wasted. Stop wasting your life and make decisions for yourself based on YOURSELF.

When you start to think positively you open up so many doors in your world.

It’s not easy, but it CAN be done. I’m sure you have several years of programming to re-program. With doing a little bit each day, soon you will be on the road to being positive all the time.

Start with some positive affirmations. One very powerful one is:

I am Whole
I am Perfect
I am Strong
I am Healthy
I am Harmonious
I am Happy

These are the main things that everyone wants.

You can use the ‘I Am’ statement before anything that you are wanting to start bringing it to you.

The Universe has no choice but to give you what you ask for.

A great way to start your day is to be thankful. Before you even roll out of bed in the morning, Thank God (Goddess, Buddah, Universe, whoever your deity of choice is) for your wonderful day. Start out thinking you will have a wonderful day, and that is what the Universe will deliver to you.

It was Valentine’s Day 2009 and my husband and I had gone out to an early dinner, gone over and gotten our movie tickets, but still had time to spare. So, we walked over to the bookstore and I immediately went to the New Age section to just browse. I never buy books in a bookstore because I can always go home and get on Amazon.com and get them cheaper. However… this day was different.

I was browsing all the books in the section and my eyes kept coming back to The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. I looked at it, and it seemed interesting. I would put it down and look at some of the other books… but I kept getting drawn back to this particular book. I couldn’t put it down. It wouldn’t let me put it down. Something in my gut was saying buy this book… buy it now… you can not wait… you must buy it now. I’m one to pay attention to my instincts… so, I bought the book. We put it in the car and then went to enjoy our movie.

I got home and sometimes, when I buy books, I’ll just put them on the overloaded bookshelves to pick up later… sometimes I think I buy books just to have them in our self-imposed library… But, this time, I delved right in that night. Not only was I enthralled with the book… I was also compelled to buy the book for a few of my friends before I had even finished reading my copy.

I’ve never done this before. I was never so compelled to share something with my friends like this in my life. But this was important. My gut was just telling me I had to do this. So, I got on Amazon.com (the smart way) and bought 3 copies, along with a copy of the DVD for myself. As soon as I got them in, I composed a letter explaining my madness and mailed them off. They both ended up thanking me. And a third friend I actually hand delivered the copy. She was very thankful.

This book has changed my life… It can change yours too. I can’t recommend this book enough. It’s not the end all… it’s a starting point… but it’s a great starting point on your journey to personal freedom!
