"Right now, I am really, really struggling and never seem to make progress.
It seems just when I think I am making head-way, something comes along to knock me flat out again.
" I have a news flash for you.
As long as you continue to view your life this way...
"really, really struggling...
never seem to make progress..
" that's what will continue to show up in your life.
It can't help being any other way because that is the constant focus of your mind and emotions.
The things in your life you call "knock-backs" are really just events.
They only become bad things when you CHOOSE to call them that and FEEL emotions that support that belief.
They have no meaning except the meaning you give them.
While you may have an image of what you want to be, do and have in life, before you can experience it, you must know you deserve it.
When you shift your focus to believing you deserve everything you desire and give IT meaning and value...
and give less meaning and value to events (events that eventually pass away) then wealth and abundance become your experience of life.
It really gets down to your core beliefs about yourself, the world and the universe at large.
When you reach the point of believing-truly believing-the universe is abundant and that you DESERVE all the wealth, abundance and happiness it offers, you will begin to see yourself and the world differently.
When you can truly see the world and yourself this way your life will not be a struggle and a series of "knock-backs"...
rather it will be a great becoming.
You will begin to view supposed setbacks as simply guideposts along the way steering you toward the realization of your desires.
The focus of your mind and emotions-positive or negative-is reflected back to you.
The universe is neutral in this respect.
It doesn't care whether your thoughts and emotions are positive or negative.
it gives you back an ABUNDANCE of what you focus on and feel! Worry begets MORE worry.
Happiness begets MORE happiness.
He who HAS (positive or negative) more will be given.
The choice is yours.
The first step in changing your thinking is to change what you BELIEVE is TRUTH.
If you TRY to think positive, visualizing positive things, abundant circumstances for yourself, etc but are still holding on to deep-seated BELIEFS i.
e.
that you do not deserve wealth or that the rich are evil or that poverty is a virtue, etc your deeply held beliefs will win out.
This is why positive thinking alone does not work.
The first step is to change your BELIEFS--to come to a deep realization the universe is ALWAYS abundant and that you have a right to have, be and do everything you truly desire.
Once you come to accept this as absolute TRUTH, your thinking begins to change.
As your thinking changes, your feelings change.
As your feeling change so do your actions, which ultimately affects your results.
What makes this "difficult" is we when we look at our current situation (appearances) and compare it to someone else in the world that is doing well financially or otherwise and CHOOSE to feel and experience lack.
These feelings can turn into envy, anger, jealousy, feelings of being a victim, etc We are creatures of habit.
Believing, thinking and acting the way we do now is "comfortable" Changing our beliefs and thinking is difficult at first and requires courage, faith and focus.
When you understand this, you can more easily CHOOSE to shift your thinking and emotions to those that empower you rather than bring you down and you will begin to see the world with new eyes.
You become a citizen of a new kingdom.
During the darkest hours of life is precisely when the fire of your faith needs to be rekindled.
It is at these times when you must never lose sight of your vision of what you want, or your faith and purpose to get what you want.
There is "something" that happens when you exercise your faith during these times...
a glimmer of light, a KNOWING that you are becoming someone new, a quickening of the spirit and mind with an unspeakable gratitude.
You don't always know what it is, but you know you will never be the same again.
As the dawn breaks, you step forward into a new light.
The darkness falls away.
The vision you originally held contains more depth, more meaning...
more life.
You realize that this dark period was necessary for you to become stronger, bolder in your soul.
You have grown to the size of your vision.
You can now take possession of it.
