If you\u2019re involved in any way, shape or form with business, network marketing<\/a>, affiliate marketing<\/a>, or in any endeavor where the reward is only attained when the result is achieved, then you\u2019ve surely encountered dream stealers<\/strong> somewhere along your journey.<\/p>\n

Dream stealers<\/em> are those people who tell you that you can\u2019t<\/em> do something, or that \u201cit\u2019s impossible<\/em>\u201c, \u201cit will never work<\/em>\u201c, \u201cit will fail<\/em>\u201d or any other lack-minded declaration under the guise of being well intentioned, in the \u201cknow\u201d, educated, and\/or being \u201creasonable\/realistic\u201d.<\/p>\n

They could be friends, they could be family. They can be colleagues and mentors and authority figures, they can be anyone who does not see the vision that you do\u2026 and they can always be spotted by the words they speak<\/span>.<\/p>\n

How To Handle The Dream Stealers<\/h2>\n

I received a phone call the other day from a man who didn\u2019t have much of a reason to call, other than to tell me that what I was doing wouldn\u2019t work and that he wasn\u2019t going to join me.<\/p>\n

He said, in fact, that it would fail because of one reason after another, and because he knows this guy and he told him it wouldn\u2019t work\u2026 and he knows so many \u201cfamous\u201d people who said it wouldn\u2019t work\u2026 and he know what really works and that this will fail\u2026 and on and on and on. It was a disgusting assault on my mindset<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I heard one poisonous statement after another; one fallacy after another in an attempt to steer me off course. If I had been weak, I might<\/em> have been impressed that he knew the top leaders in the industry. I might<\/em> have seen him as an \u201cexpert\u201d and I might<\/em> have given in to his declarations and fallen off my own intended course\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026but that\u2019s exactly what the dream stealers want!<\/p>\n

I quickly stopped the man and told him that he can wish that miserable reality on me\u2026 but that is NOT what I see. I do not agree with what you see because what I see in my reality is the opposite of the picture you paint.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He \u201cagreed\u201d with me and then went right back into spewing venomous words so I hung up. I have no time nor the ears to hear this garbage!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s ridiculous\u2026 especially when my team and I are experiencing great success with what we\u2019re doing\u2026 and it looks nothing like what that man said it would.<\/p>\n

I speak my reality.<\/strong> I said I will be successful in whatever I chose to do\u2026 and I AM successful. My team is successful and prosperous and the people they help will go on to be successful and prosperous too!<\/p>\n

Speak The Things You WANT\u2026 Not That Which You See!<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve been reading my blog, you know that I speak my reality into existence on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Your words are powerful and they will<\/em> manifest in your life one way or another.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What so many people are missing is how it all works.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an example:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When someone says \u201cI never have enough money at the end of the month\u201d\u2026 they are saying that because that\u2019s the result that they are experiencing now. It makes sense to them because they see it \u201cnow\u201d so they state it in the \u201cnow\u201d.<\/p>\n

That result is there because of past thinking. Everything around you right now is the past. If you get a result that you don\u2019t want, and you declare that reality by speaking it out as in the example above\u2026 you\u2019re going to continue to get more of the reality that you don\u2019t want.<\/p>\n

Speak For The Things You Want And Everything Changes<\/h3>\n

Instead of stating what you see in your reality, state what you want to see over and over again until you can\u2019t stand it. You have to re-train your thoughts to think of what you want so you naturally go in that direction.<\/p>\n

\n

The \u201chow\u201d is not important. Being \u201creasonable\u201d or \u201crealistic\u201d is your enemy. The first man who ever climbed Mt. Everest faced years of humanity saying it couldn\u2019t be done. Did he know every step; every place to strike his pick along the way? Nope. All he knew was that he was going to be standing there at the top despite all of the \u201creasons\u201d they threw at him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever since then\u2026 over 1000 people have been to the top of My. Everest. It takes just ONE person to blaze the trail for the rest to believe it can be done.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI never have money at the end of the month\u201d can easily be re-stated as: \u201cI always have more money than I need at the end of the month\u201d. What this does is it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as your thoughts are focused on what you actually want to see in your life instead of the last result you got and don\u2019t want again.<\/p>\n

It might not make sense to you at first\u2026 and it might not feel right\u2026 like you\u2019re lying to yourself perhaps\u2026 but that\u2019s NOT the case!<\/p>\n

Think of it like Dorothy in \u201cThe Wizard of Oz\u201d when she said \u201cThere\u2019s no place like home\u201d. She wasn\u2019t home\u2026 at least her mind wasn\u2019t at home\u2026 and to get there she stated the place she wanted to go<\/strong> (\u201cThere\u2019s no place like home\u201d)\u2026 not where she was at, trapped in the land of \u201cOz\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dream Stealers, Be Gone!<\/h3>\n

Say these new, empowering words over and over again daily until you cannot stand it.<\/strong> Say them 500 times a day for a few weeks<\/strong> straight if you\u2019re serious about changing old habits, breaking the bonds of poverty, and living a fulfilling life! It works!<\/p>\n

Next time you open your mouth\u2026 speak your dreams into reality<\/a> instead of the past, over and over again\u2026 and don\u2019t let the dream stealers infect you<\/u> with energy-sucking negative words & statements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
