| Are you Striving for Success by Swimming Upstream? |
Do you ever find yourself struggling and forcing yourself to get
what you want? Isn’t it time to take the effortless route?
You know those times when you set a new goal, and then when you make
an effort for its achievement, it feels like a struggle or even frustrating to do
whatever it is you are doing?
The feeling of struggle and frustration is not caused by the task or the goal;
it is caused by a believed thought. For example, if your goal is to get your
business up and running and as you sit down to work, a thought comes to
mind like why does this have to be so difficult.
I would like to invite you to go in your mind and watch yourself as you
believe the thought why does this have to be so difficult. What kinds of
things to you do? What does your facial and bodily expressions look like?
Besides the feeling of struggle and frustration generated within your body,
do you notice that the effort you make is also labored? How long does it
take for you to reach your goal when you believe this thought?
You are going to do everything you can to reach your goal anyway and you
have to believe something, so why believe a thought that works against
you? You are the creator here, and thoughts are your gift to create with.
Believe thoughts that assist you in reaching your goals not work against
them. The thought why does this have to be so difficult is designed to
produce procrastination, feelings of struggle, frustration and even failure.
Unless procrastination, struggle, frustration, and failure is your goal, why
believe this thought.
Instead, you might try a thought like yes, this may be difficult but that
doesn’t mean impossible. Then, hold the new thought in your mind for a
few seconds and mentally imagine yourself as you work on anything.
Watch yourself as you work on things you have never done before, and
even things others might believe is impossible.
Feel the energy inside your body when you believe this new thought? See
yourself working on your projects and notice the difference this new
thought makes? How do you interact with others? How do you influence
business associates, friends your children or your spouse? What might
they learn from you? What are the end results of believing this new
thought? Is this thought programmed to produce results that match your
goal? Do you find that believing this thought helps you reach your goal
easier and potentially faster?
Out of the two thoughts why does this have to be so difficult and , this may
be difficult but that doesn’t mean impossible:
