What ARE you thinking???
“As a man thinketh, so is he.”
— THE OLD TESTAMENT
“You become
what you think about.”
— EARL NIGHTINGALE
Don’t roll your eyes and raise your sarcasm to a fever pitch until you try it. If you REALLY try it with your whole heart and soul and a burning desire, you will prove that initial resistance attitude wrong. All wrong.
You will do it IF YOU WILL DO IT!
And what do you guess is the only thing that can keep you from doing it, from becoming what you think about? Well, now, if you know me, you can probably guess the answer.
If you’re a new or infrequent visitor to this blog, you may not know that I constantly bang away at the realization you may want to consider (that behavioral science studies have proven conclusively) that all human behavior is a conscious or unconscious choice.
If you pretend that you are unable to become what you think about (now, I do mean really and truly brainwash yourself, and mercilessly drive yourself to the finish line, vs. a token ten-minute or ten-hour or ten-day or ten-week or ten-month commitment), then you must know that “un-ableness” is a behavior.
… and doesn’t that then make it a conscious or unconscious choice?
Of course it does.
So why doesn’t EVERYone make the choice to become what she or he thinks about?
A) Most people don’t choose to realize it’s a choice.
B) Many people don’t choose to accept that it’s a choice, and
C) Even those who do choose to realize and accept that the behavior of becoming what you think about is a choice choose to make it hard for themselves for that to happen.
— ————————
It’s just as easy, often easier in fact, to consciously choose for a behavior to be easy as it is to consciously or unconsciously choose for it to be hard.
So, let’s suppose you’re on the hunt for a relationship (love or business makes no difference to the process) or perhaps some massive amount of income. And if you’ve ever hunted anything, you know that it requires complete and total focus to be successful.
So, how important to you is what you’re seeking? If it’s genuinely worth it, turn on the charm and 1) think yourself succeeding, 2) think yourself succeeding, 3) think yourself succeeding as much as you can, every minute, every hour, every day.
You must see yourself in your mind’s eye enjoying your reward. Don’t want to do all that? Then you’re not serious about it, so just go back to that can of beer and your spider solitaire game, or TV football or soap opera, and call it a day. Oh, and stop torturing yourself with promises to do better. Just accept that becoming what you think about is a choice that you don’t choose to make.
If you’re willing to choose to accept the challenge of thinking yourself into success, however and you’re ready to choose to go for it, and pursue what you want even through the miserably low periods you’re certain to encounter (because we can’t control everything that’s outside of our minds), then do it. And call or email me to tell me about it.
The people who believe all this are the ones who have done it. That alone should be a message!
