Why Do We Do What We Do?
I need to build from a previous posting because I have expanded my knowledge and I thought I would share what I learned with all of you.
How many times have we heard ourselves saying “Justice” statements? “If I could just get enough time to get this done”, “If I could just make enough money to cover this bill or that bill”. Or saying limiting statements about our abilities, “I can never remember names”, “I’m not good at math”.
What are we really doing and why? Aren’t we limiting our potential? Limiting the possibilities before we see if the opportunity can even occur. I call some of these limiting statements (i.e. “If I can Just get …”) “JustIce” statements because these type of statements freeze our potential, freeze our possibilities and freeze our dreams of what could occur. And when you freeze something, that something tends to die. Why do we kill our potential or our opportunities?
I recently read an article by L. Barnett Powell that covers this scenario. Here is some valuable information from the article.
The truth is this: You can do anything, have anything, be anything you put your mind to set about achieving. The fuel you need to make it work is EMOTION. Not only that, it needs to be a high level emotion – gratitude, happiness, joy, hope, love. Depression, worry, fear and anxiety will not bring you a positive achievement. You will get what you don’t want – because you focused mentally on it and put the emotions of fear, worry, anxiety and depression behind it.
When you do not achieve a goal, take a look at the structure of your life and what you are holding in your mind and the emotions behind it. Typically you find you have been mired in worry, depression, and fear. The result is not achieving a goal. It is then time to kick yourself into high gear and get back on track with what is true – and that is the Law of Attraction. Remind yourself that you will attract whatever you focus on and invest with emotion, whatever that may be. I have embraced the lie that says you cannot have, do or be what you desire. As soon as this is realized it is time to release it and get back on track.
So the process is straight-forward. Be clear about what you want. Focus on it with not only your mind, but your emotions. Direct your emotions. As musician Joan Armatrading says, “light up”. Be grateful. Be joyful. Be excited. Be motivated. Be insistent. See yourself achieving your goal/having what you want and get happy about it. That vision is important. Focus is powerful. Stay focused on that outcome – because where you place your focus is where you will find yourself in the end. Seize every opportunity and be willing to take risks to create opportunity – all with your goal clearly in mind. Expect to receive what your desire.
The Universe listens to what goes through your head and is powered by your emotions. Your emotions make your thought “scream” out what you want and in response the Universe. Without judgment, gives you what you are so strongly focusing on with your thoughts and emotions. That means your best move, if you want to achieve your vision, is to plug into positive, high-level emotions and put them behind your vision.
You will manifest what you desire.
I know I have been down this road of worry and fear and it got me just what I didn’t want; fear, worry, anxiety, lack of sleep and not eating. None of which are fun. We all need “reminders” to keep us on the good road of happiness, joy, love and achievement with a positive perspective. Let’s stay off the ice in life and help ourselves and others to be happy and achieve a joyous life. We need to realize WHAT A JOYOUS life really consists of. Be thankful/appreciative for being on the green side of the grass.
Sometimes all it takes is a kind word, a note or a smile. Be willing to take risks to create opportunity. As the good book says, “And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you” Luke 11:9.
