Part 1 of Your Abundant Life

CAN YOU HONESTLY AND REALISTICALLY GET WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF LIFE? CAN YOU LIVE YOUR DREAMS, HAVE THE FREEDOM AND TIME TO DO WHAT YOU WANT, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, CAN YOU DO IT ALL ON YOUR OWN TERMS, NOT YOUR BOSSES, OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER?

DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION? CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE?

GOOD!

Whats the answer...But of course!(Did you expect anything else?)

Stop for a second and truthfully ask yourself this. How many times have you said, If I could just get this, or that, or the other thing, I would have it made. Or If I did this, or that, I would get this or that., (or something along those lines). You get the point. I know there isnt a soul out there that hasnt said it a many times, and what has it gotten you? Excuse me, I cant quite hear you youre mumbling. Whats that?,..nothing, a little louder pleaseNOTHING. Thats right, NOTHING, NADA, ZIP, ZILCH, SQUAT, and a few terms that are really not nice, but applicable.

If I, If I, If I folks, we have a problem here. Whats the problem Mr. Smarty-pants? Simple, If I puts you dead in the water. The problem is that If I is not a problem, but a conditioned response, a circumstantial cop-out, a total negative state of mind. There is no action required on your behalf, and therefore there will not be any results stemming from an action. Does this make sense? It should. If I is an excuse, period. It not only places self-doubt upon yourself but it also takes the responsibility out of your hands, instead of you, responding to your ability! Ahh, I see where you are going with this.

So how do we solve this diluted thinking of ours? There are three very important factors, two of which I will address right now. Stop for yet another second and reflect back on this. Can you remember a time when you accomplished something really important? It doesnt matter what the magnitude was, but it was really important for you. We have all been there. Think about it for a moment. Remember how good it felt, the sense of pride and achievement it brought to you once you conquered whatever it was. I guarantee you If I never entered the picture. Problem solved.

Take the words If I right out of your vocabulary, never to utter them again. Now what? Thats the easy part. Simply replace them with When I. Now we have action, because the word when points to a positive means to an end. If, says I wont, When, says I will. Its very basic, but extremely powerful. Fine-tuning the mind, and being able to change your stinkin thinkin is an essential part of becoming successful in anything that you do in your life. It doesnt matter where you are in your life either. I dont care what your background is.

You truly have an opportunity right now to make a change in your life. Change is hard, trusting the process and believing what I have told you and putting it into action is even harder, simple as it might sound. I am just scratching the surface. Wait until I get deep down under the skin. We will uncover the answers to things that have been bugging you for your entire life. Things like why you are the way that you are. I think I said that right. You know, important things like, Maybe your Mother made faces at you when you were in your crib. Or Maybe you were toilet-trained to early. Or Maybe you just werent secure on your potty. Yes, I am kidding here, but trained psychologists aren't. Your past has nothing to do with your today. The third point: You control today, this moment, it is all yours to do with as you please. Dwelling on a negative past issue in like dragging an albatross. You cant do anything about it, so just forget it; its gone. Ask yourself this one, What am I holding onto, and what good is it doing me, or what good has it done me. What this has done is more serious damage, than from whatever it was that happened in your past in the first place. It has held you back from living life today, period. Don think about it, live it!
