Trick your Mind….See What You’ll Find
How to Reach Your Ultimate Life Destination…There is a gap. A gap between where you are in life and where you think you should be. We might like where we are but underneath is that gnawing feeling deep down that we really should achieve more. Do more. Create more. Be more.
Our mind thinks in pictures so everything we see everyday registers in our mind of possibilities that could be. We look around what is going on in our life and take some satisfaction but the contrast is what we see on social media. So where do you draw the line about what is possible?
Lets face it, there is a bit of difference between a 17 foot small pleasure boat compared to a 400 foot mega yacht.
So does that mean that depending on how strong your belief is will be be how big of a boat you end up with? Good question and I just don’t know all the answer. So let's spend some time exploring this.
Some of us are taught to believe and achieve. Believe that you will have the life you design and sooner or later you will achieve that right?. That has to be somewhat true right? You do have to be clear about what you want. You have to have some kind of a way to measure where you are going because how else are you going to achieve it and know if you are progressing.
Many many weekends ago at a seminar a couple talked about how they decided they wanted to change the house they lived in. They wanted it bigger and better, a large estate size orchard, a swimming pool in a beautiful neighborhood, that sort of thing. They took the time to buy dozens and dozens of magazines, find photos wherever they could and started building a scrapbook of their ideal home. The whole ideas was to really get specific about what they wanted and attract it into their life. Maybe I mean the law of attraction but maybe not. The ‘law of attraction’ term has been so used and abused. I am talking about a deeper level of manifesting and bringing into one's life specific experiences and things one wants. Really digging deep and believing all this is possible.
Even as I am writing this I have my continuous loop audio playing with my headphones on that talks about my life with affirmations and declarations of how my life has turned out. It's a grandiose picture and audio of my ultimate desires. I have a clear picture in my mind about where my relaxation homes are for my latter years. The golf courses I would like to play on. The ultimate sunny environment. My vacation home where my kids come and visit when they want and also just go there themselves with their family if they want. The kind of cars I will be driving. Like my Black Mercedes S560 that takes me up and down all the interstates when I decide to drive instead of fly. After you drive a car like that it is hard to compare to anything else. Other things like a description of my Charities I like to contribute to all the little details. My whole audio is full of that. I personally made it myself to describe my world to me. To remind me what is important to me in my world. Also, to give my mind a picture of what my world looks like as I move through it.
So getting back to the couple and their dream house. At the front of the scrapbook they had a picture of their Dream Home and inside the covers of the scrapbook they had a description of all the features of the house. Their life progressed for about 3 or 4 months and not too much transpired. They were still aware daily of their Dream Home and what they wanted in it.. It was just part of their daily routine looking at it. Just like brushing your teeth or making your bed they would look at the Dream Home Book everyday.
Things changed at work for the husband. He received a transfer at work to move 2000 miles away. The next weekend they flew in to look at the new city they would live in and also to look at some houses. After viewing quite a few homes they hadn’t found what would be comfortable for them. Nothing seemed to click for them. They went home discouraged but with a plan to come back the following weekend. That next weekend they went through the similar procedure of viewing and viewing homes but still nothing really resonated with them. Going back to their hotel room to pack to fly back, they got a call back from their Real Estate Agent.
Their Agent said ‘Hey, I know we haven’t found what you are looking for but there is a house that just came onto the market that sounds somewhat like what you are looking for and since you are still here why not come and look?’
Away they went as the Agent picked them up. When they drove up it was the house that they had on the cover of their Dream Book. The exact house. They were just floored. After all the exercises they had gone through with building their Dream Book they somehow had forgotten about it thinking that someday would come when they were well retired that they would have a house like that.
That just gave me chills when I heard that story.
Why photos are important is this: We as humans have built inside our brain what is called a Reticular Activating System also known as the RAS. Look at the RAS as a heat seeking missile that seeks out the picture that you have in your brain of what you want. It might miss a few times while taking you on your search but it quickly corrects itself and gets back on course in the direction of your goal. Just like the couple that were looking for their Dream Home, they were looking at homes and had forgotten about their dream home but still the RAS took them to their house.
You can put almost anything into your brain and with repetition your RAS will seek out and take you to your goal. That sounds so unreal but remember it does sometimes take time for your results to materialize but it will reach its destination.
That's why it's important to know what your target is. What your goal is. What is your ultimate goal of your ultimate life and where would you like it to take you. The more specific you can be then the quicker your RAS can help you get there.
Just say yes to your life. Leave yourself open to ideas and suggestions to reach your wealth and time freedom. Just be specific. Make a project out of it. It's worth it and you and your family are worth it. Just say yes!
