A More Successful Life

Roadblocks to a Successful Life

The beginning step to a new and more successful life is a absurdly easy.  You have only to pay attention to the flow of thoughts inside your mind and direct accordingly.

Your life is entirely of your own making, so look at the way you are living.  You claim you want financial abundance and a successful life , yet you’re constantly bemoaning your lack of money and how expensive things are.  You dwell on what you don’t have and the bills coming in.  You worry and wonder how you will get by.  You may want financial abundance, but because your consciousness is of lack and worry, you will never experience that abundance or the  successful life you desire.

Or maybe you wish you could find a new job, something interesting and challenging that would use your creativity and pay you well.  If you constantly tell yourself these jobs are impossible to find, that it will never happen, it is very unlikely that it ever will happen.

Perhaps you would have a more successful life if you were a more outgoing individual, bold and spontaneous, full of assurance and confidence, yet if you constantly focus on your inferiorities and inadequacies and put yourself down, reminding yourself again and again of your problems, you are not likely to become that type of person.  You may want strength, but if your consciousness is of weakness, you are fooling yourself if you think you will ever possess that strength.

In short, wanting something badly will not make it happen.  Hoping for something different will have no effect.  Simply working hard, even if it’s 12 to 15 hours a day, is not enough to allow you a successful life.You will always remain where you are unless-and it’s a big unless-if you change your thinking.

“To them that hath…  More shall be given.  To them that hath not, even what little they have will be taken away.” -Luke 19:26

Change for a Successful Life

Would you like to change your circumstances?  Then you have to develop the necessary consciousness.  A person with a successful life has a success consciousness.  A wealthy person has developed a prosperity consciousness, and his thoughts are on abundance, success and prosperity. This is how a person with a successful life thinks.
“Easy for him,” you say.  When you’re living a successful life it’s easy to think success, and when you’re wealthy it’s easy to think prosperity, but my situation is totally different.  I’m not successful; I’m not wealthy.  The situations and circumstances of my life keep me down.

WRONG! Dead Wrong!  Your circumstances and situations never keep him down.  The only things that keep you down and keep you stuck are your thoughts.  With work and practice you can learn to direct your thoughts and create any consciousness you choose. Your reality will change only after you’ve developed your new consciousness, not before.  The new consciousness must come first. There is no other way,you’ll never enjoy the successful life you desire,until you develop a new consciousness.

Successful Life Benefits

If you could have anything you wanted, what would you made to live a successful life ?  Do you know ?  Better health ?  Then get health consciousness.  More power ?  Then get power consciousness.  More prosperity ?  Then get prosperity consciousness.  More happiness ?
Get happiness consciousness. Everything exists as a possibility.  All you need to do is to feed in the necessary energy until what you desire becomes a reality.

How reassuring it is to think that no matter what a person’s past or present situation, the matter how many times he or she has previously failed, if that person would only regularly feed his or her consciousness, with the proper thoughts he or she would soon be living the successful life of their dreams.

This remarkable ability has been given to each and every one of us to use or to ignore.
It costs no money.  It takes no special talent.  It takes only the decision on your part to take the time and put forth the necessary effort to develop the appropriate consciousness.  That’s all!  Everything else will automatically fall in place.

If your mind is like a garden which can be cultivated or neglected, and you are its master gardener.You can cultivate this garden, or you can ignore it and let it develop what ever way and will.  But make no mistake: you will reap the harvest of your work or your neglect!

Your mind creates your reality.You can choose

to accept this or not.You can be conscious of it

and set your mind working for you, or you

can ignore it and allow it to work in ways

that will hinder and hold you back. But

your mind will always and forever be

creating your reality, thereby determining

whether or not you will live a successful life.
