Be Careful What You Wish For

If you turn on the news on TV lately, everything is talking about the Global Recession. Not a day goes by without either the Dow Jones dropping record amounts or picking up record amounts.

We all know that there are problems globally of course, and many thousands, if not millions of people, stand to lose their savings, pensions and investments.

Job losses seem to be at an all time high and although the price of oil has come down, most of the big oil producers are fighting hard to get the prices back up.

If your job and lifestyle is under threat because of everything that is happening, it is no wonder so many people are becoming depressed and really can see no way out.

But, the truth is that in times of recession, some people actually benefit more. These people, instead of thinking recession, job losses, foreclosures etc, think positively and look for ways to benefit from the situation.

So what are your thoughts regarding everything happening in the world today? Are you concerned, worried, threatened by what you see. do you let what is happening affect your way of thinking?

Remember, you are what you think, so be very careful how you choose your thoughts. Staying positive in today’s environment is not so hard. There are many opportunities for you to improve your way of life and benefit from all that is happening.

Of course, you could shut yourself away and never look at the news or read any newspapers. I know lots of people who do that. However, the best way is to focus on what you want to achieve. Keep those thoughts at the forefront and believe you will reach your goals.

Now is truly an incredible opportunity for those who have the dedication and drive.

Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true!

Do you ever get those days when nothing seems to go right for you? You know the ones I mean? You get out of bed and bang your toe and it hurts like hell. You go into the kitchen and end up burning your toast. You take a sip of your morning coffee and nearly burn your lips!

Then you drive to work and it seems like everyone decided to leave home at the same time as you!

Just as you are about to take lunch you get a phone call and can’t get away and miss half your lunch break.

Then driving home it seems that people want to shove you off the road and cause an accident.

By the time you go to bed you lay there and think,
” Boy, I am glad that day is over!”

Well, how you get up in the morning determines how your whole day will be. So, by doing some simple things as soon as you wake up, you can control how the rest of the day will go for you.

Sound stupid?

Well, why not try it and see for yourself?

Now most people have their alarm clock next to their bed. Makes sense of course doesn’t it? Well, the problem there of course is when it goes off in the morning, you turn over and press the “snooze” button. Not once, but many times until finally you end up rushing around or you will be late!

So, instead of having your alarm clock next to your bed, put it on the other side of your bedroom. That way, you have to get out of bed to turn it off.

After turning off your alarm clock, and not pressing the snooze button, start giving thanks for everything you have in your life.

Open the curtains and let the light in. Say “thank you”.

Go to the bathroom and as you walk say, “thank you”.

Get yourself dressed and as you do so say, “thank you”.

For every action you take say “thank you”. Nothing else, just “thank you”.

Now, you may be thinking, “I can’t do that, my spouse will think I’ve gone crazy!”

Well, your spouse may look at you and ask what you are doing, and maybe even laugh at you. You will probably laugh also. But you know what? If you start laughing you will find it impossible to be in a bad mood!

How you wake up in the morning has a huge impact on how the rest of your day will turn out. So, knowing this, doesn’t it make sense to start your day off by giving thanks and getting yourself in a “happy” state of emotion?

Start your day bad and all day will be bad.

Start your day happy and your whole day will be great.

Do this everyday for 3 weeks running and you will never have problems getting up and always be happy when that alarm clock wakes you up in the morning!

Til next time

One of the most important ingredients needed to succeed in life has nothing to do with commitment. Nothing to do with desire. Nothing to do with effort and absolutely nothing to do with action.

Think about it for a minute.. If all you needed to succeed was commitment, effort and desire, then nearly every hard working family in the world would be financially successful.

Now although these ingredients are of course important, they are only pieces of the puzzle and a very rare glue is needed to hold them all together.

Many people have all these ingredients but unfortunately, they are using the wrong glue to try to get them all working for the same cause.

So, what is the special glue needed to make these ingredients help you succeed financially?

Mindset is the answer…not just having one, but having the RIGHT mindset to enable you to glue all these important ingredients together, so that they all work for you in the same direction.

Your mindset is what will eventually create your world around you. Understanding this point is more important than anything else for your career and your life. By having the right mindset, you can determine exactly where you want to go, and most importantly figure out exactly what you need to do to get there.

We all have that little voice inside of us talking to us constantly. By controlling what that voice says to you each day can shape your future in more ways than you realise.

For most people, that voice speaks words of caution, danger and always gives negative viewpoints. It tells you to be careful, to watch out, be wary, don’t take risks, to be skeptical and always question what is before you. It also looks at what the worse case scenario will be should anything go wrong.

It creates envy and jealousy inside you and by doing so, helps to attract more envy and more jealousy throughout your life.

It creates resentment against those who have succeeded and you begin to think these people are always doing something illegal to gain their wealth.

It creates sadness and depression and for many millions of people leads them into suicidal ways.

Whatever can go wrong will go wrong as far as this voice is concerned, unless you begin to control what that voice is saying.

Just using affirmations is not enough, although that will of course help. You have to go deeper and further into your sub-conscious mind to really get total control.

We all have the ability to make it work for us, and nearly everyone has already succeeded in using it to their benefit, in some way or another. For example, if you have a driving license then you acquired that license by believing you would get one and saw yourself driving your first car on many occasions.

Now that being the case, the techniques you used to get your driving license are the same techniques required to help you achieve financial success.

It really isn’t that difficult, but it does take a conscious effort to make the sub-conscious mind believe.

Remember that you are what you think and your thoughts will determine your outcome. So, be careful what you wish for…as it just may come true!
