Your Beliefs Become Your Thoughts

Your Beliefs become your Thoughts, Your Thoughts become your Words, Your Words become your Actions, Your Actions become your Habits, Your Habits become your Values, Your Values become your Destiny --Mahatma Gandhi

Remember the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome?

Are you feeling stuck? Having the same types of things happening over and over? Try changing your mind...try expecting something different. If you change your thoughts and beliefs, everything else must change. You make different choices; you have a different experience.

Say you find yourself saying (often) "I never have enough money". How do you feel when you say that? Likely you feel depressed. Probably hopeless and helpless...what's the point of even trying? You feel that that thought is valid and true.

It's not easy to change your mind about this when your experience has been that you haven't had enough money.

The problem is, life sent you what you believed, thought, said and did, which became your habits, which created your choices, which validated what you believed...

So how do you begin? You a choose a new thought: "It's true I haven't had enough money in the past, but I'm choosing to invite abundance into my life, and I'm open to new opportunities to create that." Then you vividly see that happening. Picture opportunities showing up and you successfully taking them. Think that often, picture that in every detail, often. Catch yourself each time you have the old negative thought, and replace it. They say it takes at least 3 weeks of doing something repeatedly for it to become a habit. Changing the habits of thinking of a lifetime will take a bit of work. But, it can be done. Chances are you'll begin to feel more optimistic. Chances are you'll start looking around for ways to make that happen. Chances are you'll start making different choices than you have in the past, choices that are more likely to bring you what you desire than your past negative thoughts and choices did. You'll create new habits of thinking, which will create a different reality.

Try it; I have, and it works...

Thoughts For The Week

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.--Denis Waitley

How is your life working out for you? Are you dissatisfied? How did this happen? Weren't you doing the best you could? I spent the vast majority of my life doing what I thought was right. There I was in my late forties with my life a mess. I was just barely alive, suffering from depression, my marriage was in a ditch, everything I had believed to be true, wasn't and I was feeling hopeless and helpless to change anything. I had no idea that my thoughts, beliefs and expectations had created my life and all my experiences. I prayed for help (finally), and books and people came into my life to explain the way the universe works. Once I understood that, then I had someplace to go. Then I could accept the responsibility for changing my thoughts, beliefs and expectations. And I created a new and better reality.

Are you open to new thoughts, or are you firmly convinced that you already know how it all works? After all, you were told by the Voices of Authority (VOA) in your life. Shouldn't you believe that? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe they were told by their VOA, who were told by theirs, who were told by theirs... But what if they didn't have it quite right? Isn't it ok to question what we were told? Their life experiences, based on their choices, based on their beliefs and expectations created what they experienced. Which validated that they were right. That's how it works...

But what if we are creative beings and our thoughts, beliefs and expectations can create anything? We don't have to live in a world filled with unhappiness, or fear, or lack or misery or pain or any other negative experience. We have the ability to change what we think, believe, expect and experience. I have. I discovered ways to heal my body and heal my traumas and heal my marriage and created a beautiful life. You can too.

Have the courage to be open to the notion that there might be things you don't know, the knowing of which could change everything. Maybe your VOA didn't have it quite right. Maybe there is no "Destiny" or "Fate". Maybe we can choose our experiences. Quantum Physicists have discovered that the beliefs and expectations of the scientists affect the outcome of their experiments. Hmmm... We affect the universe around us...

Will you accept responsibility for your own life?...or simply live unconsciously, letting things happen to you, and hating what you get?

Love and Blessings,
