We all have a constant internal dialogue that controls our every reaction and response.
What we think and the words we speak have a specific effect upon us. Most every problem
both physical and psychological stems from our addictive thought patterns. Our individual
thought patterns form our belief system, which is a set of rules, or opinions that our mind
has been taught to accept without question. Our beliefs about the world and ourselves are judgements,
which are decisions that we have made about what is and what is not truth.
Most of us tend to respond to much of life with a conditioned response. No matter how different people
or situations in the present may be we tend to overlook, because we are being guided by being memories
and are not able to detach from the previous ways in which our minds have been trained to judge what
we see, hear and feel. This usually prevents us from living fully in the moment and experiencing what is
in the present. We tend to stay within our comfort zones even when they are self defeating because we
fear what is not known. Since birth we have been conditioned to believe that our feelings are who we are,
and right or wrong we seem to have this need to defend ourselves against anything that challenges our
belief systems or makes us feel unsafe. Our individual beliefs have created a world filled with boundaries
and limitations, which perpetuates separation and mistrust. This ultimately leads to feelings of loneliness,
frustration and disappointment.
We as human beings many times fail to recognize that we attract what we need at any given point in time
through the universal law of attraction. This law of attraction is responsible for what shows up in all
aspects of our lives. Before we can experience anything in the physical realm we must give thought to it.
We create our own experiences through our thoughts. We get what we think about and we get it all the
time.
Many of us do not recognize the judgements that we are actually putting into motion when we think or
say things like, "I am not good enough; I can not have what I want, I am not beautiful, No one
understands me". Thoughts are magnetic and attract things that are similar. If our thoughts, words and
actions are in alignment with what we want then this is what we will attract. However, if our thoughts
and our words are focused on what we do not want or what is wrong then we will only succeed in getting
more of what we don't want because this is what we are focused on.
Many of us spend most of our lives searching for something outside of ourselves to tell us what is right
and what is wrong, or to give us direction. Most of us do not recognize the powerful spiritual guidance
system that rests within that can be relied on. This guidance comes through our emotions letting us know
the appropriateness of what we are thinking, speaking or doing in the moment. There are only two
emotions - one feels good and the other feels bad. As we think a thought, say, or do something that is not
in harmony with the essence of our highest being our inner self provides a negative emotion. And
likewise, when we are thinking, speaking and acting in harmony with that which we truly are our inner
being reflects positive emotions. Most of us are not able to focus our thoughts on what we want because
we have not been intentionally concentrating our minds. Our mind wonders because of lack of discipline
and being creatures of habit we find that we recreate history over and over again. In order for us to
change our realities and have what we want we only have to allow it by releasing all that is no longer
necessary for our growth. As we begin to venture out of our comfort zone and take complete
responsibility for what we allow ourselves to think and the words that we speak then we begin to
discover that all that isn't real is what leaves our lives and what is left is who we truly are.
It would seem that our greatest resistance as human beings is not trusting what comes from within us and
yet, what comes from within is all that we may trust. Consistency in thought and action is what creates
our destiny. When we are feeling good we are in harmony with our higher self and when we are feeling
bad we are not. Our negative emotions serve in helping us to realize that we are mis-creating our reality
through our thoughts, words, or actions. If we want changes in our lives then we must begin the process
