How We Think – Part II
Everything we think has been learned. It has been taught to us from our childhood, our friends, our peers, our family, the news, and the workplace. Things we hold closest to us and very much engrained in us came from how we were treated as a child, what we saw and heard as a child, and what we experienced as a child. As we grew we experienced changes and formed new opinions and perceptions as to how the world worked and how we expected to be treated, as well as how we treated others.
And while all of these people had an effect as to who you are today this workshop and seminar is not about why you think the way you do, but to help you see and understand that whatever negative emotions, relationships, and problems you have in your life can change, because you have a choice, we all have a choice.
Let’s take something as simple as today. Today you chose to be here because of some beliefs you have about your relationship(s) that you want help in changing. Now you didn’t have to come, but something within you is begging for a new start, a fresh start and a change you either haven’t been willing to make or are uncomfortable making. For some of you the changes will come easily, for others it will be a difficult and long road. And whether the changes you make are easy or difficult is in your control. Remember everything is in your control, but you have to begin to believe that. And I know many of you are here today thinking that you are tired of being controlled by others, but the reality is, as harsh as this may sound, is that you are allowing yourself to be controlled. My sincere hope and wish for you is that you will discover here today, or in the very near future, those reasons and to allow yourself to be free of those who you believe are controlling you and find lasting happiness.
In your workbook I have left certain areas blank and underlined so you can fill it in as we go along. I have done this so you don’t fall asleep while I speak, hopefully I’m not that boring, and the information and exercises become more memorable and part of you.
So let’s begin by first understanding a little bit about who we are.
I want you to know that you hold your world together with your attention . And when you shift your attention from the world you created it collapses and a new world emerges.
Let me be clear about this. Right now whatever you are thinking can change in an instant. Let’s try something simple. Think about how uncomfortable you are with a relationship at work or with a family member. Pick one. Now think about one specific incident where you felt that he or she was being tough, not physically tough, where they were trying to convince you to do something you didn’t want to do. So look at your reaction to that. How did it make you feel? Did you feel angry? Did you feel stupid? Or did you take it as a constructive piece of advice? So now I want you to think about them, not you and your feelings. I want you to see them as being genuinely concerned for your welfare. I want you to smile and see them as a loving person and I want you to think about what they said, knowing that this is their opinion about the best way for you to solving your problem. See how you think, from how you have been programmed and how you want to see things is totally in your control.
You create your own reality based upon two things;
Your intention and your attention .
Energy flows where attention goes.
If you intend to listen with an open heart and mind and you believe that the person giving you their advice or opinion means you well then you listen and hear what is being said. Your attention is heightened and then you can decide what to do with the information you have received. And now we get back to control. You can control what you do with that information and that is to use it or loose it.
Your Attention is paramount because ‘Only Now exists’.
Being in the present moment requires your full attention so that you are fully awake to experience it. When you are fully present , your mind does not wander. You are focused on what is going on right now, rather than thinking about what just happened or worrying about what is going to happen next.
Life happens to us when we happen to life in the now .
Now’s here’s the rub, most of the things you are creating you’re creating from deep within your unconscious .
Why is it that you’re running out of money all the time? Why is it that you’re not healthy and fit? Why is that you’re always in the same relationship? It’s because your moving to that universe that’s outside of your awareness . So until you heal those things you will never make a positive and profound quantum leap. A quantum leap is moving to a new universe.
Wealth, Success & Fulfillment – Part III
It’s not what you do but how you do it that determines your wealth or success or fulfillment in life.
There are 4 key ingredients:
The First is passion or an intense desire to accomplish something or have something.
The Second is excitement is when you are powerfully emotionally charged or aroused.
The Third is inspiration or to be stimulated, to infuse into the mind and to communicate that to your spirit.
The Fourth is motivation , which is a willingness to act or a reason to do something.
And what’s so alike about all of these words. They are all emotions . It’s the 99% of where you want to be to accomplish everything you want. So you see it’s these components that determines your wealth, success or fulfillment in this life .
As Emerson said, “Nothing great has ever accomplished without enthusiasm”.
Now a lot of people have great intentions but poor follow-up. So consequently having good intentions just doesn’t move you forward, does it.
