To think what you want to think is to think the truth, regardless of
appearances.
“To think what you want to think is to think truth”—is that not the best news
ever? It doesn’t matter what your reality looks like at the moment, because
where you desire to be is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
and if you fixate your mind on this truth, believe that it is real and already
here, and take decisive action, it will manifest itself.
This is where most people dig in their heels and say something like, “I am
sitting in my ghetto-ass kitchen eating tuna out of a can with a plastic spoon
and you’re telling me this isn’t the truth? You’re saying that the truth is that
I’m hanging poolside with the president of the United States of America?” If
you truly desire to hang poolside with the president of the United States of
America, and are hell-bent in your mind and your actions to create it, it’s the
truth.
Have you ever noticed how a bunch of people can go through the same
course, let’s say a class on how to start your own coaching business, and they
all get the exact same information and tools, but some will come out of there
and totally rock it and others will fall flat on their faces? Even if they all have
the same desire to succeed, create beautiful marketing materials and do similar
things, it’s the ones with the proper mindsets who will succeed. The ones who
kick ass are the ones who can see themselves kicking ass, who truly believe in
themselves and what they’re selling, who remind themselves how much they
want to better people’s lives with their coaching, who are excited to get
compensated for selling it and have no limiting, subconscious beliefs holding
them back. The ones who feel weird or who worry that they’re being pushy
and annoying or who subconsciously believe that they don’t deserve to or can’t
succeed—they’re not gonna do so good.
Your thoughts and beliefs dictate your reality, so if you want to change your
reality, you have to change your beliefs. The problem is that most people are
rill protective of their beliefs and are usually fairly crotchety should you
suggest that perhaps there’s another version of the truth. I’m bad at sales; I
have terrible luck; I’m scared of flying; marriages don’t last, I have ugly feet,
I’m broke . . . ”Are you calling me a liar? Do you see a hot boyfriend on my
arm? No you don’t, you see a cat on my lap next to my needlepoint project
because I stink at relationships—that is the truth and that always has been the
truth.” And that will be your truth as long as you choose to think it. As long as
you feed the beast, it shall live.
The moment you have the audacity to start
believing in the not-yet seen, your reality will begin
to shift.
THE FOLLOWING IS HUGELY IMPORTANT
SO PLEASE PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION:
You have to change your thinking first, and then the
evidence appears. Our big mistake is that we do it
the other way around. We demand to see the
evidence before we believe it to be true.
Remember, everything you desire is right here, right now. You just have to
shift your perception in order to see it made manifest.
“Okay, fine. I believe that I’m hanging poolside with the President of the
United States of America. Now what? Do I just call? Or show up at the White
House in my flip-flops with a towel around my neck?” When you take the leap
and believe in the not-yet seen, you aren’t supposed to know how to make it
happen, because if you knew how, you probably would have done it already.
This is about radically changing your reality, so the way to go about it is also
most likely outside of your present awareness.
Your job isn’t to know the how, it’s to know the
what and to be open to discovering, and receiving,
the how.
Keep your thoughts directed at your goal, do everything that you DO know
how to do to make it happen, decide with unwavering determination that it will
happen, and be on the lookout for the opportunity.
I had a client who went to Tuscany and looked at a house that was for sale
while she was there. At the time, she was a bartender and a poet and could
barely scrape together the money to buy a plane ticket to Italy, let alone to buy
a Tuscan villa, but she checked it out anyway and completely fell in love with
the place. While she instantly knew in her soul that it was her house, she also
knew that her bank account had tumbleweeds blowing through it, but she
asked the owners to take it off the market anyway because she was going to
figure out a way to buy it.
So she flies home, in a stupor, thinking that perhaps she has gone
completely insane, but she sticks to her guns and starts asking around for
ideas. She is almost immediately buried beneath a pile of warnings from
everyone around her: It’s a huge responsibility not to mention all the
complications that come with being in another country and last time I checked
you don’t speak Italian nor are you a citizen nor do you know a single thing
about home ownership and considering you can’t even afford to get your teeth
cleaned how are you planning on paying a mortgage and yadda, yadda, yadda.
Yet she keeps on going, because in spite of all the evidence otherwise, she
believes this is her house. This is her truth.
Finally someone mentions the idea of pre-renting blocks of time in the
house to raise the money to buy it. People could pay for their time a year in
advance, she would just need to sell enough blocks of time to pay for the
house, and voila! Cut to her discovering this sort of thing is illegal, going back
to the drawing board, trying a million other things, discovering that it’s
actually not illegal, then pre-selling enough rental slots and borrowing some
money and to make a very long and ups-and-downs-y story short, she’s owned
the villa for several years and is thinking about buying another.
You have got to get a handle on your thoughts if you want to change your
life. As Albert Einstein so aptly noted, “The world as we have created it is a
process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
Here are some tried-and-true ways to show your brain who’s driving the
bus:
