Be a Master of your own Destiny
(2001 June McHardy
It is now a proven fact that this universe operates
within a perfect system of natural laws. One of the
most universally recognized of these laws is the Law of
Gravity. According to the law of gravity, we all know
that if you walked off the roof of a 12 story building
anywhere in the world, you'd go "splat" on the
sidewalk, whether you understood this law or whether
you believed in it. The law would prevail.
Similarly, there are many other natural laws operating
in our marvelous universe, one of which is the "Law of
Positive Expectancy". In other words, whatever you
think about all the time, with emotion, MUST be brought
about in your outer world.
For example, when you get a great idea, and dwell on
it, plan it and get excited about it, you activate the
universal forces which will draw in opportunities,
people and resources to help you achieve your goal.
However the opposite is also true. When you start
having fear or worry thoughts and dwell on them and
visualize the worst possible outcome you are using the
same universal forces to bring about exactly what you
fear because what you think about expands and becomes
your reality.
Therefore you owe it to yourself to always monitor your
thoughts. Become a "mind policeman". Whenever you start
thinking fear or worry thoughts, STOP!! Ask yourself
these questions: How can I improve this?.. What can I
learn from this?.. Is there an opportunity here?.
As soon as you change your negative self-talk into
positive, you change your vibrations and you change
what you are drawing into your life.. because THAT IS
THE LAW!
We are always engaging in self-talk. Consider the
following situation:
You see a possible opportunity and you say to
yourself...
"This looks like a great idea!" (positive)
"But what if I try and it doesn't work?"
(negative)
"Still, it looks too good to pass up!" (positive)
"OK, but I can't do it right now, I'm too busy....
or.. I wouldn't know where to start...or..I'm not
smart enough,. or...etc." (negative)
Wouldn't this be better self-talk?
"This looks like a great idea!" (positive)
Let's write down all the pros and cons so we can
evaluate the idea properly" (positive)
"It looks too good to pass up!" (positive)
"Let's make a plan, work out what needs to be done
and take a first step" (positive)
You can easily see that the second course of action
would be more effective than the first in moving you
towards your goal. The important thing is that we have
been given free will. We don't have to follow the
pattern that we learned from our parents or that we
picked up over the years. If we are habitually
harboring negative thoughts or fears, then we must make
some changes in order to improve our lives.
The problem is that we have been given this marvelous
brain which is many, many times more efficient and
capable than the best computer that man can build and
no-one gave us an operating manual.
We owe it to ourselves to learn HOW to push the right
buttons in our brains and create the reality that we
deserve.
Let's become masters of our own destiny!
