Good Vibes, Good Life: How Self-Love Is the Key to Unlocking Your Greatness pdfdrive com

Change requires action
Once, I needed money to clear a debt. I set my vibration high and ensured I was
feeling good. But I didn’t take action. I just expected money to come to me.
During this time, I won a free watch in an online competition. I didn’t usually
enter competitions because I’d never won anything in the past, but I was feeling
optimistic and so I entered. I was grateful that I won the watch, but it wasn’t
what I needed at this time. I needed money.
As time dragged on, the money I needed didn’t appear and I began to get
disheartened. I was certain it was going to come, so why didn’t it? Well, you see:
I hadn’t noticed the opportunity the Universe had given me to take action. I’d
won a prize and I didn’t consider that it could help me on my way. Yes – I could
have sold it! As soon as I realized my mistake, I 
did
sell it, and made the money
I needed to pay off my debt.
Sometimes, steps towards your goals come disguised as opportunities to take
action. If you don’t take action, you’ll miss out on the reward. Expecting change
to happen when you don’t change anything yourself is like making chocolate
raspberry cake in the exact same way, every single day, and expecting it to turn
into a chocolate strawberry cake. If you don’t add strawberries to the cake
instead of raspberries, then it won’t change! It sounds a bit silly and obvious,
right? But so many people go through their lives expecting change when they’re
doing the same things every day. They feed all this positive energy via their
thoughts, words and emotions, but take no action, which is vibratory in itself.

The easy route
I find that a lot people know what to do, but they still don’t do it. They rely on
justification or an easier solution because the real solution seems too long-
winded. Some people would rather use their energy to find a way to use less
effort for the same result. Working smarter is essential for effective productivity,
but even finding a solution to work smarter requires a lot of effort. We must
come to terms with the idea that some things have to be done the 
difficult
way.
For example, if you want to lose weight, you have to create a calorie deficit by
either increasing physical activity, improving your diet, or both. Most people
know they need to do these things but they don’t commit to them. Instead,
they’ll look for a magic pill or another shortcut to solve their problem. They
spend excessive time, energy and money on trying out different miracle cures,
when they could have achieved much more if they simply decided to apply some
effort.
Other people in this situation may do nothing at all. They want to lose weight
and they’ll moan about it, but they don’t take any action. Many of us will label
these people as lazy. People usually act in this way because of two things. One is
that they simply don’t believe that they can achieve the results that they want to,
so they’re defeated by the idea of it straight away. The second is that they find
the idea of working for the result too painful. People won’t want to take action
on things if they perceive the process of achieving the results as being too hard.
The idea of going to the gym or eating healthily may seem much more painful
than remaining how they are. So these people take no action. They tend to stick
with easier and more comfortable options – but rarely do we grow within our
comfort zone.

Sadly, many will wait until they have no other option before they commit to
changes, when you see your current situation as being more painful than going
through whatever it takes to get what you desire. Great pain and pressure can
force great changes to occur. This is the same reason why people will put up
with toxic relationships until they reach breaking point. They may find the idea
of being single and lonely more daunting than putting up with their abusive
