A Life Changing Moment...
If you follow closely and understand the meaning of today’s post, this will be one of them.
In my last post, You were introduced to your “conditioned mind.”
You learned that it isn’t interested in your success, only your survival.
You learned that its primary goal is to keep you in your current comfort zone.
You learned that it will do whatever it can to keep things the same, but to let you think that you’re changing.
You learned that you have to become aware of your conditioned mind.
So now, you should be pretty clear on who your current biggest enemy is. It resides right between your ears, and it’s called your conditioned mind. Your biggest enemy isn’t outside of you … it’s inside of you.
That’s why, to find true success in life, whether it’s wealth and abundance, happiness, or whatever makes you complete, you have to win the inner game of success. You have to turn your own worst enemy into your biggest ally.
And starting right here and right now, you’re going to head down that path.
This is the same path I started down almost 40 years ago when I was just 15. I was one of the lucky ones who learned how the conditioned mind worked at a fairly young age, and I’ve been working on making it my greatest ally ever since.
It’s never a completed project, because you can always improve in any part of your life. But I promise you, that as you turn your worst enemy into your strongest friend, as I have, you gain the most powerful ally known to mankind.
Since I’ve spent the majority of my life studying and working in the areas of money, finance and entrepreneurship, my mastery is in these fields. So there will be a natural bias here to apply these principles towards the attainment of wealth and abundance.
But what you learn here applies to any area of your life that is important to you. The great thing about these principles is that they are universal.
So how do you go about transforming your worst enemy into your most powerful ally?
You start by making a decision.
You decide that from this day forward you will “recondition” your conditioned mind, so that it eventually comes around to your wishes and desires, and helps you automatically move towards them.
Unfortunately, 95 out of every 100 people reading this post won’t ever make this decision and follow through on it.
Those are the facts. Their conditioned mind has such a strong hold over them that it controls their entire existence.
Are you one of the 5% who can change the course of your life starting right now?
Yes, you are.
You can choose to make this decision.
You can choose to look at your life until this very moment as a training ground for what to do and what not to do for the rest of your life based from what you’ve already learned.
From what you’ve learned so far in life, are you as happy as you want to be?
… as healthy as you want to be?
… as successful as you want to be?
… as fulfilled as you want to be?
If you aren’t it’s because your conditioned mind is much more concerned with your survival than it is in any of these other issues. It stops you from changing into the person you need to become to get what you want.
Does this make any sense to you?
For you to have all the success and happiness you want in life, you will have to grow yourself into the person capable of having all that success and happiness.
It isn’t going to happen by accident.
The starting point for all change, all achievement and accomplishment is in understanding what you want. What do you want in life? More importantly, what do you want badly enough to be willing to change to get it? What do you want badly enough that you are willing to fight the prodding’s of your conditioned mind not to do it because of every reason it can come up with. (Some call it fear.)
You’ve heard this all before, but it’s true. The most successful people have specific goals and dreams. They don’t just want to be happy or rich. That’s far too general. Everybody wants to be happy and rich. Yet how many are?
What does that tell you?
Hopefully, it tells you that what you say you want and what you really want are 2 completely different things.
The fact is, the life you’re living right now is the life you want, because if you didn’t, you’d do something to change it.
So obviously, if you aren’t as happy as you’d like to be or as wealthy as you’d like to be, something is going to have to change.
Please don’t tell me that it’s the economy
… or the government
… or your job
… or your appearance
… or your parents
… or any of it.
Those are just excuses made up to justify why you aren’t successful.
And, guess who’s sending you those excuses?
You got it, your conditioned mind.
The one thing that you must change is you. It’s the only thing you have control over.
… not the economy
… or the government
… or anyone else or anything else in this world.
So once you have specific goals to shoot for, you can begin to take control of your conditioned mind and turn its awesome force into good.
For now, you have a decision to make.
Are you going to accept the life you have today and the person you are today, and simply accept whatever circumstances life throws at you like everyone else?
Or …
Are you going to focus on the person you wish to become and the life you want to build for yourself, and then dedicate yourself to a higher standard that you know you’re capable of?
You’ll never reach your full potential and happiness until you’ve made this decision.
Your journey to real success begins with a decision.
Have you made yours yet?
I’ll be getting into the details for turbo charging your success in the next post.
Namaste.
