"The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is to say, when an individual remains undivided and does not become conscious of his inner contradictions, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposite halves." - Carl Jung
"Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility: For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen." - Kahlil Gibran
"The attempt to escape a problem is the problem. See the logic of this. When a man tries to escape, when he moves away from the problem, he divides himself into one man with a problem and another man who will escape the problem. In reality, there is no such division, so the escape must always fail, as the man sadly experiences. But when seeing that he is the problem itself, that he and his problem are one, he stops trying to escape because he sees there is no other course. In this state of intelligent acknowledgment of reality, he will not have the problem." - Vernon Howard
"The aphorism, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life." - James Allen
"Whether you believe you can or you can't - either way you are right" - Henry Ford
So, what are you believing?
This is the reason we work very hard on our own self-talk and even what we write. It is a creating and powerful force...words. Because by our words we form our intentions, by our intentions we engage with the creative force of the Universe. This is a large part of our lack mentality that we discuss so often. We say... we *need * money or that we * have* bills...and guess what? We are right. In mentoring with the different friends that we have that are successful in their various disciplines, we have consistently found that they did not gain and stop being in * need*, they trained themselves to stop thinking in terms of * need* then gained. The Universe constantly supplies us with what we ask for...exactly. “I have all these bills.” “I'm so sick.” “I'm broke.” And it becomes a self-fulfilling, prophecy. Every single successful person we interact with never, never says something like that. Never. And all of them are self-made successes, they all had to learn this same truth, change your self-talk, change what you say, how you concentrate on your future, Rearrange your worries into “I'm so glad our bills are always paid.” “I feel great!” “I am a successful person!”
It has made a tremendous difference in our lives.
