If you have ever wondered what your predominant thought
pattern is, just look around. Take an inventory of your life
right now. On a piece of paper or in a journal, write down
what your life is like. What are your friends like? What is
your biggest complaint about some of them? What about your
job? Happy or complaining about it? Your boss? Your spouse?
Your income? Your bills? Have enough of everything you need or
do you feel like you are lacking in many areas? Take a look at
your list. Write down what kind of thoughts produced those
results. Maybe you can remember the moments that you had some
of those thoughts. Note the connection, what you thought about
you brought about.What ever your life is filled with now,
is a reflection of your thoughts, your deepest thoughts. We
are not getting what we want in every moment, but what we
deeply believe.
You are the sum total of your thoughts. There is no one
else to blame. You are the creator. Take total responsibility.
Once you've done that, on the same piece of paper, next to the
inventory you took above, write down what you deeply desire.
Notice what kind of thinking it will take to get what you
desire on the new list. Do you see a difference? I certainly
hope so.
The first inventory list is what your thinking created
BEFORE you realized how much discipline it takes to get what
you deeply desire. Looking at the new list should make you
very uncomfortable. It could look almost impossible from where
you stand right now. That's good. It is going to take a lot of
work and discipline to get you that new future and there is no
way around it. Imagine though, if you got everything on the
first list without disciplined thinking, what you can achieve
if you really do the work on your "self" that's required.
Think about your power to create. You created everything on
your first inventory without a disciplined effort. You were
creating by accident. You can see the power of your thoughts.
Now, with a disciplined effort, focused solely on your deepest
desires, can you see the possibility of achieving your deepest
desires?
Here's some help with how to get your deepest desires;
- Use your imagination power to picture, many times daily
and see yourself actually doing the things on your deepest
desires list.
- Feel what it would feel like to achieve them too.
- Picture the person who would have achieved those
desires, what kind of words would they use? How would they
act? How would others perceive them? Start acting now like
that person you picture. Act as if you have already achieved
those desires.
- Use the language of a winner.
- Find someone who has what you want already. Ask the
person to mentor you or read a book about them. Act like
them and do what they do.
- If you wait, you may wait forever. Get started right now
on the path towards what you want. Take steps everyday
towards your goals and desires. Don't wait.
- Continue to take inventory from time to time and take
responsibility for what you are creating. It is like
exercise; resist the urge to slip back into the old
behaviors.
- Surround yourself with a coach, someone who will tell
you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. They
should be willing to risk your business. That is a really
valuable coach. Pay them whatever they ask. You will not be
sorry. Especially when you reach your goals.
- Remember, you are the programmer of your life, if you do
not like your experience of the world, change how the world
is experiencing you.
