Do you know if you’re infected?

Do you know if you’re infected?

Are you aware of the beliefs that are really fueling your life? Are you conscious of the fact that every conversation, every show you watch, every thing you read is getting into your mind and infecting you? Affecting the way you live your life and make your decisions?

Every day we are choosing to have our beliefs shaped by forces outside of us. We are giving “others” the liberty to control our income and our expectations. We tap into the news and hear the horror stories or the sad stories and we think that the world is in a bad place. We accept that the world is in a recession, that millions are losing their jobs and we are just one paycheck or one decision away from that disaster ourselves.

However, science has proven that the observer and the observed are one and the same. Meaning, what you believe and what you put your focus on will occur. Our beliefs shape our reality.

As an entrepreneur, I had to realize that my own conversations had shifted. Although I do not typically watch the news, I had engaged in conversations about how bad things were. I read economic forecasts that said the economy wouldn’t improve until next year. Then sadly, and without conscious thought, I accepted that. I accepted that things were bad and everyone’s finances were affected right now. I told myself that organizations simply didn’t have the money to pay for my type of services right now and I had to ride it out. I had become infected by all the doom and gloom.

As we know, opposites exist in the world. Where there is poverty there is also wealth; where there is anger there is also forgiveness; where there is fear there is also acceptance; where there is hate there is also love. There is balance in our world. Since you too have probably allowed your mind to be infected, make a decision to change your mind and tune out. Tune out the negativity, horror stories, and sad situations. Stop making them the dominant reality in your life. Your beliefs will align with them if you don’t stop and literally say, “That is not my reality.” You create your world each and every day in the ways you spend your time, who you share your life with, what you read and what you watch.

Choose to experience the opposite in life. Choose to see the balance. If you are going to allow your mind to become infected and affected then at least choose the great things you want. No more doom and gloom, “woe is us” moments. Many of us are in someway expecting things to get “worse before they get better.” And so, that’s exactly what happens. Instead, say “me too” to the great things. Someone won the lottery – “me too.” Someone started a successful business – “me too.” Be more open to the good things than you are to the bad.

Take control of your mind, shape your beliefs and you will be in a position to create a life you want.

You Are a Creator

The simple truth is: You are who you are. You are where you are. You have what you have. If you wish to be, have and do something else you must first release your attachment to the identity you created and then allow yourself to be redefined and recreated. You are, after all, a creator of life. Who do you want to be now? What do you want to have? Where do you want to be? Focus on that.
