Knowledge is Power
‘EVERY GOOD THING THAT
HAS HAPPENED IN YOU LIFE
HAPPENED BECAUSE
SOMETHING CHANGED’
CHANGE. It’s a scary word for most of us. Why? Because it requires effort, it’s scary, it’s
uncomfortable. We humans are habitual creatures, accustomed to living our lives on
autopilot…doing the same routines every day – day in and day out. In order to change,
we have to break free from our habits and consciously make different choices. We have to
Think! This is a painful process for most and that’s why we often feel stuck. So, we stay that
way because change can just be too darn hard!! And so it goes, we live our lives stuck in a
relationship, stuck in a job, stuck with a body that we don’t even recognize anymore! And
some of us will just live this way for the rest of our life!
Is that what you want from life? Do you want to be old and feeble one day and say ‘I wish
I would’ve gone more places or done more things but now it’s just too late!’ Heck no! You
want to live the life of your dreams and I can show you how!
Article provided by Beth Gates
with Results From Thinking
The first secret to creating change – the real, lasting kind of change, not the ‘New Year’s
resolution’ kind that fails before the month is up – is to think about WHY you want the
change to happen and not think about WHAT just yet. The WHY is what motivates you. The
WHY is what gets you excited, brings tears to your eyes and inspires you to get up in the
morning!
• You want to get into shape. WHY? So you look great in your new bikini!
• You want to grow your business. WHY? So your son can work in the business with you and you can both
profit from that growth!
• You want that beautiful stone house with the 5 acres of wooded property. WHY? So you can raise your family
in a cozy home where you can cook Sunday meals in your gourmet kitchen!
• You want to buy a speedboat. WHY? So you can check out all of those girls in their new bikinis! (Okay…just
kidding there)
• The WHY is what inspires action. Once you have the WHY and you can really feel the emotion around it, now
it’s time to get focused on the WHAT. Your WHAT – that new stone house, the new exciting career, the new
relationship with the perfect guy, the new body that looks great in anything you wear – needs to stay in
front of you so that it is the focal point of your daily life. This bears repeating. If you really, really, really want
something – you have to have constant reminders of that WHAT bombarding your brain every day!
Knowledge is Power (cont.)
Your brain receives millions of bits of information from your
surroundings every second. Think of all of the things that are
going on around you when you’re walking down a busy city
street … the people walking by, the sounds, the smells, the
traffic, the things to buy displayed in the windows. There is no
possible way your brain can take all of that in, so it’s the job of
the subconscious to filter out the unimportant stuff so you are
left with the tiniest fraction of all of that stimuli. This becomes
your reality – that small bit of information your subconscious
decided was important enough to keep.
When you focus on the WHAT, and keep focusing on the WHAT,
your subconscious starts to pay attention to whatever it is
relating to that WHAT. Have you ever bought a new car and
the next day, everywhere you go, you see the same car, color
and all? That is because your brain is now picking up that new
information, whereas before, it would’ve ignored it. And that
is why you have to keep your WHAT in front of you so your
subconscious can get in the habit of paying attention to what
you want.
Something very important to keep in mind when focusing
on your WHAT is that you always have to focus on it in a
positive manner. Don’t think “I’m so sick of living in my in-laws
basement! I can’t wait to get out!” Think - “Living in my new
beautiful condo is going to be so awesome!” Don’t think “Wow
these man-boobs have got to go!” Think “I am going to be such
a chick magnet when I have a strong muscular body!” Are you
getting the gist?
So how can you keep your focus on the WHAT? (I knew you
were going to ask me that) Print out pictures of what you want.
Look in magazines for decorating ideas for your new house
and keep them. Test drive the car of your dreams so you can
feel what it’s going to be like once you get it. Go look at houses
that are like the one you want to live in. Buy fitness magazines
or look online for exercise ideas. Talk to those who have done
what you want to do and learn from them. Join clubs that focus
on what you want in your life. Talk to a travel agent and get
brochures of the places you want to travel to. Be creative!
Get excited! Picture what you want in your life as if you have
it right now. Every morning and every evening, look at what
you want, read about what you want, feel what it’s like to have
what you want! Think about WHY you want it and how much
better your life is with it! Do this for 30 days and I promise you,
you will see your life change in ways you would have never
imagined, so go live the life of your dreams!
