Love or Fear? You Decide
Try this on for size:
In all the world, there are only two motivations for action:
Love
Fear
Whatever other motivation you can come up with, at its root, can be distilled to one of those.
To create something beautiful, you have to believe in something beautiful.
(and when you do that, you harness the power of love and make great thing happen)
Our beliefs become our thoughts.
Our thoughts become our words.
Our words become things.
Not just things, but our whole reality, in fact.
(If your thoughts and beliefs are negative, unfortunately, what you create is disaster.)
I hear people committing crimes of negativity and fear against themselves and each other constantly. Their conversations are full of self-deprecation and "I can't this" and "I don't like that." If you really can't this and you really don't like that, then fine. Don't talk about them. Stop focussing on those things and start talking about I CAN and I LOVE.
(And please, stop issuing dire warnings to loved ones and strangers about all the things that you think they are incapable of doing!! Let them sort out for themselves what they believe they can do. Your fear is painting everything black and stifling them.)
People who are acting out of fear never succeed in making a better world. Their security procedures and plans and walls and negative views create a lot of hassles for everyone. Like the family law courts, these fear-filled procedures can never give you something. They can only take more away.
Plans made and actions taken with fear and negativity will never create a better life.
Find a way to make plans and take actions that you LOVE. Fill your life with things that you feel positive about.
Choosing positive thoughts instead of wallowing in destructive negativity is a skill you can learn to develop. It's a skill. And you are probably smart enough to be able to learn it.
An excellent mentor for positivity is Louise Hay. Find her on YouTube and listen. Listen to Abraham-Hicks, Wayne Dyer, or whoever resonates with you. But do listen whenever you feel that you can't harness your own brain to stop the negativity. (For many people, even identifying the fact that they have negative thoughts and are allowed and able to change these to positive thoughts is a revelation.)
Here are some examples of destructive thoughts leading to sad life circumstances:
"I was told when I was ten that I must never have children or marry, so I don't date." (Heard from a 50+ year old man, who, as you can guess, never married.)
• (Solution: Guess what? You were also told a bunch of positive things, but you've forgotten. Focus on them instead of what some eejit told you ages ago. Why did you give all the power in your life to someone with a much lower IQ than yourself?)
"My daughter has made a mistake and the rest of her life is going to be so horrible now." (Heard from a mother who can't imagine her daughter creating a good life for herself, and who is refusing to allow her daughter to believe in a positive outcome too. She's filling her daughter's life with suffocating showers of negativity.)
• (Solution: I am really looking forward to seeing what my daughter creates next in her life. It's not what I expected but I just know it's going to be good! I'm here to help her.)
"I don't like..." (7 million possibilities)
• (Solution: We don't care. Tell us about what you DO like and stop boring us with what you don't.)
Rx for a better life
It's as simple as that: Take every negative thought you bombard yourself with and switch it up for a positive one. When you think "I'm too fat" think "I have a great smile," and remember a compliment someone paid you recently. When someone insults you, wash it away with a remembered compliment/good feeling, and remember that their insult is a reflection of themselves, not of you. When you're afraid, do some cognitive therapy about why and how to rationalize it. Probably, the fear doesn't make sense. Take the reins away from your runaway thoughts. You CAN, you know. I hear so many people claiming that they can't, but they're mistaken.
Here's the basics on how you do it.
1. Just choose to say the positive thing.
2. When you can't, listen to positive speakers on youtube.
3. Also, force yourself to WRITE positive things. You don't have to totally buy them at first. But write them anyway. After a month or two, you'll start to believe them, and then they'll start to happen. (I'm speaking as someone who has done that.)
Don't know what to write? Try these:
• I am loved, I am loved, I am loved (when I started this one, it was only my cat who loved me, but I wrote it anyway).
• I have all the time I want and need to do everything I want and need to do. (Don't believe it? Write it anyway. Write it every day for a week, for a month, and watch your life change. Dare ya.)
• I know this situation is going to work out fine (and then sit down and close your eyes and watch it work out fine, like a television in your head. Write and watch the screenplay).
• My income is constantly increasing. (Numerous people say this one works for them -- ref. The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.)
• My popularity is constantly increasing. I am invited.
• I'm comfortable and happy and I love where I live.
Get a start on it and you'll be amazed what flows from your pen. Get a piece of paper and instead of just surfing to the next thing, try it now.
