WAKE UP! GET CONSCIOUS! YOU NEED YOU
Having failed in the past does not determine the way your future endeavors
will turn out. Always look for a gentle approach to resolving any holdups in
your goals. Sometimes, the habit of ‘toughing it out’ or doing things the
hard way make us believe that anything of value to be achieved must be hard
won. Not so.
You can decide to forge a new life for yourself and include gentleness and
prosperity. It does not matter whatever your history. Your parent’s history
does not matter. It is entirely up to you to decide what you want. Just so,
is your ability to make it happen. If you change your mind about what can
happen for you – you can make it happen to you.
If you find your thinking about quitting, imagine how you life will turn out
if you give up on yourself. It will help you keep your resolution to ‘refuse
to stop’. Shake off any notions you have of failing. There is no such thing
as failure. Every situation allows opportunity for education, inspiration
and new insight. Keep an eye on what you are learning and where you are
going. Determine and recommit daily to getting there.
BE HONEST. If you are putting out your best effort and find your self-talk
consists of negative messages of defeat or failure, STOP! Take an inventory
of what you are thinking. Change your mind AT ONCE. Create a list of
positive, creative messages that inspire you. Keep it handy and refer to it
as soon as you notice you are entertaining the old negative self-defeating
messages. Remind yourself that these negative messages are merely bad habits
– not truths. Stay in touch with the truth of whose life this is, and who is
responsible for making it happen. You need this constant reminder to keep
you on track.. This speech is not about motivation, although it may appear
so.
What is being offered here is the necessary steps one can take in order to
change one’s life. Generally speaking, most people wish for a good life and
spend their time hoping that circumstances will change to allow prosperity,
good times, joy, love or whatever they desire. That just is not the way of
the universe. Each person’s willingness to attempt new behaviors and
thinking in order to create a better life is predicated on one’s willingness
to assume responsibility for making a good life happen. Although there is
much over which we have no control, there is also much that each person can
do to exercise change in their life. It is not always easy, although it is
simple.
In most instances, it can appear impossible, or at least extremely
difficult, because of the lack of Self-confidence and not because the
situation is beyond one’s ability. The difficulty lies in believing it is
beyond their ability.
Certainly, it can be fearful to experience new things without a notion of
the outcome. However, looking beyond the fear and stepping out in an effort
to create a better outcome is the only way a better life has a chance of
developing.
