We tend to spend an overwhelming amount of attention on our current situation. We think about things the way they ARE - rather than the way they SHOULD BE. Because our dominant thoughts are on our current situation - these thoughts tend to be about daily worries, current lifestyle, how much money we currently have, the state of our current relationship, and so on. These mediocre, passive thoughts do nothing for us!
All these thoughts do is simply keep in our lives our daily worries, current financial situations and current relationships. This is why CHANGE comes SLOWLY for most of us. We get obsessed with the way things ARE rather than the way things COULD be.
And so we remain "stuck" in our lives - year after year - observing the same things.
No growth, no abundance, no new wonderful discoveries or ideas - nothing. This is called the Current Reality Trap.
The sad thing is, , it does not have to be this way. You do not have to stay stuck in mediocrity. We are powerful, amazing beings - but sadly, many of us do not realize our own beautiful potential.
This is the difference between mediocre people and successful people. Mediocre people dwell on the present. Successful people look excitedly to what COULD be.
We've all heard of millionaires who suddenly went broke and lost everything. The amazing thing about these people is that they usually, with remarkable ease, gain back their wealth. This is because while their physical wealth may have been lost through bankruptcy or bad investments - their mindset - their INNER wealth - is focused on riches. And so riches pour back to them quickly. It's the Law of Attraction at work.
A Simple Technique to Begin Escaping the Current Reality Trap
We want to share with you a simple exercise you can do to help correct your thoughts and move you towards more abundance.
Jane earns a decent income - but she's not happy. She still has car payments, she wants to send her kids to a better school, she needs to save up for her graduate level education. But no matter how hard she works, she just never has enough. And to top it off - she owes the credit card companies tons of money.
Odds are - you know someone like Jane.
Most of us in Jane's situation will start to focus on what we DON'T have. But the problem is, when you fuss and complain about not having enough - you attract more bills to pay.
Jane might set a goal to get out of debt. This, too, is the wrong approach ...the goal of getting out of DEBT - keeps you forever in DEBT. You're thinking debt, debt, debt - and that's exactly what you attract into your life.
This is how Jane would change her mindset once she attains mastery of the Law of Attraction.
First she would change her goal. Her goal would no longer be "get out of debt." Her goal would be "absolute financial freedom." Now she's focusing on a positive. She would spend a few minutes every morning just day-dreaming about what she's going to do once she attains financial freedom.
The next thing Jane would do is auto-correct her negative thoughts.Her initial thought might be:
I'm so badly in debt - I don't know what to do.
I don't have enough to get the things I seek in life for myself and my family.
Slowly, she'd start correcting these thoughts:
I have a home, my kids are happy. I have a loving family.
I have a nice job with an opportunity for a raise.
I am healthy.
I shouldn't feel so bad - many people don't have a house or a loving family.
My debt will be paid off - when I start saving just a little bit every month.
There are people far worse off than I - 1 billion people worldwide have to survive on less than a dollar a day.
I'm grateful that I have a job and a middle-income lifestyle.
I like the idea of being rich.
I'm grateful that I have a car, nice clothes, can eat 3 meals a day, and can take the occasional vacation - most people cannot afford this.
I can believe that more money and multiple streams of income will open up to me in the near future.
So, by gradually changing her view of her circumstances, Jane corrects herself from negative thinking to positive thinking.
Slowly, her thoughts and dreams get bolder:
I believe my talents will help me earn more income soon.
I will soon have a business for myself.
I can see myself owning a 6-bedroom home by 2012.
I will have one million in the bank within 5 years.
Jane has started shifting into a mindset that lets the Law of Attraction flow freely in her favor - rather than against her.
Notice that her thoughts essentially shift from:
I'm so badly in debt - I don't know what to do.
to:I will have one million in the bank within 5 years.
It's a gradual shift, with small incremental boosts in your self-belief. But once you get started, you'll notice that the positive thoughts begin to come faster and easier as you go along.
Tiny coincidences will begin to happen. Maybe Jane will get a small raise, or she'll learn a way to control her debt from a chance meeting with a financial advisor. New ideas and opportunities will start flowing her way - this stream of coincidences are The Law of Attraction at work.
Watch out for them, embrace them and follow them - these tiny signs from the Universe will help give you the motivation and belief to keep moving towards greater and greater things.
The current results you have in your life are based on your current belief. Your present income is based on your belief of what you’re capable of earning. As you go through this program, you are going to re-evaluate what you see as truth … what you believe. When you re-evaluate a situation, you will find that your results will change.
