3 Steps To Changing Your Life
Do you want to change your life or at least significant parts of it? Have you ever dreamed of living more abundantly, having a better life for your children, or just being more healthy? Would you like to have a good job and enjoy peace of mind? You are probably saying: "of course, who wouldn't?"
I doubt that there are many people alive today who have not dreamed of transforming their lives and the lives of those they love. The wishing and hoping are easy, but how do you and I make it happen? How do we actually move from the life we are experiencing right now to the one we want? What would you say if I told you that there was an age old secret so simple that anyone can do it? Would you be interested if I told you that you could begin your life transformation today? You don't need good luck, good credit, rich or powerful parents. You don't need a college degree, although education is always a good idea for anyone. To be educated is to furnish the house in which you live - your mind. Transformation of your life does not, however, depend on getting a degree or certificate. It depends on doing just three things.
1. Take responsibility for your life - if you believe that your life is the result of God's will, Fate, luck or accident of birth you are kidding yourself and you will be a perpetual victim. You are believing an age old myth. If your present condition is due to outside forces, people or luck then you must change other people, fate, God or whatever is causing your less than happy life. This you cannot do. You are in control of only one thing in this Universe. You!
You may influence your spouse but if you think you can really control him or her, I think you are not being honest with yourself! You may influence your children but in the final analysis they will live the life they can conceive of living, not the life you wish them to live. You have only dominion over your life.
Once you realize that you are responsible, not to blame but responsible, for every aspect of your life then you have taken the first step toward life transformation. Once you admit that you created your current reality, you can then admit that you can change it. If you are the author of your book of life; you can surely do a re-write any time you wish. OK, you now are in a mind set for change, you are empowered to change what you created.
2. Understand that your thoughts are things, they have power and they create your life. Your subconscious mind is the seat of all memory and all beliefs and from these things spring the thoughts of the conscious mind. Think of your subconscious as a garden with very fertile soil. Seeds were planted in that soil by your parents (they were the first gardeners), friends, teachers, clergy, professors, co-workers and your extended family members. Your culture and nation is another major gardener of the soil of your subconscious.
People from hundreds of nations think like Americans within one generation of immigrating to the US because the US makes a concerted effort to encourage people immigrating from all over the globe to learn American culture, mores and civic values. French are uniquely "French" and Chinese are much different from Japanese because each has been programed by their society in different ways. Each cultural group passes on its mores, taboos, prejudices, tastes in food and fashion, politics and ideas of God and religion that are unique to that group. This cultural programming has a huge effect on our beliefs, our thinking and therefore our experience of life.
Know that you are not bound by precedent, you do not have to accept everything you have been taught. You may strike out on your own and create a new way of living - it is your life! Your programming is like the default settings in a computer. Its fine if that 's the way you like it, but you have the power, the right and the duty to yourself to change the default settings and change them to suit your desires and your dreams.
3. Understand that to change your life you must change, from the inside out. No change takes place until you become a new you. "Be you transformed by the renewal of your mind" Romans 12:2. The Science of Mind teaching has a slogan: change your thinking and change your life. That about sums it up. You must think only of things that you want in your life. Give no thought to what you do not wish to experience. Do not talk about what you do not want. You must avoid pessimists and naysayers, they are the enemies of your good. This can be tough if they are family, just politely ask them to take a break on the negativity.
You must watch your self talk - we all talk to ourselves almost constantly and what we say to ourselves only reinforces whatever is in our subconscious which is creating our reality day by day. This is most important, do not expect illness, poverty, or trouble because what you expect is what you get in life. My greatest fears have come to pass, said Job. Yes, they always do. What you focus on, positive or negative is yours by Law. The Law of Cause and Effect says that what you put into cause (what you think, say and do) is what causes the effects (what happens) in your life). Don't think and say anything that you do not wish to live with at some point in your life.
Remember, friends, everything that exists now, ever has existed or will exist in the future is first a thought in the mind of God or man or both! Every cathedral had an architect who saw it in his mind long before it was built. Every planet began in the Mind of God long before the forces of physics, which operate by Law, combined to bring it into being.
Everything that exists is literally thought and spoken into being. When a thought is spoken, even under our breath to ourselves, it is multiplied thousands of times over and comes into form. Remember in John: In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God. Exactly! God lives in the heart and soul of every human, patiently waiting for its host to realize that it is here. Not one human was ever born without the Indwelling God within but so many of us die without ever knowing or feeling its presence. Open a dialogue with the God within.
You have the best friend, counselor and helper you could ever have right within your Mind and Heart. Put Him to work today and change your thinking and change your life! You can do it if you really have the desire and the will!
May God's blessings overflow your heart with so much joy that your smile lights all with whom you come in contact.
