Do you want the joy, the wealth and the success you create to be something only for yourself or will others benefit? Do you feel good hearing about the success of people you don’t know? How would you feel if someone you knew became very successful, wealthy and full of joy? Would you be happy for this person or not? Sometimes we harbour deep insecurities around success and money which tell us more about our attitudes to those subjects than we would like to admit. Envy, sadness, resentment can all rear their ugly heads from within even the best of people from time to time. They force us to confront our own failings and weaknesses and fears for the future. Perhaps we feel envious because we want something we don’t yet have or we know we haven’t yet made enough effort for its attainment. Maybe we feel that life has been unfair or that good things never happen to us.
Recognising these attitudes is the start of thinking positive. Whatever the root of these feelings is we can overcome them. And it is simple. It just means we haven’t yet convinced our deeper minds that every opportunity, every success is available to us. We have to fill our mind with the idea that there are limitless possibilities and limitless abundance for everyone.
Every possibility that is in line with our highest destiny can be attained. By that I mean some of us are not destined to bet the thing that we have been chasing or working towards. Let me use an exaggerated example. Most of us will not become the ‘President’ or ‘Prime Minister’ of our countries no matter how hard we try. But every reward or satisfaction we think we would get by becoming that ‘ideal’ of President is available to us; only it will come through our own unique path and in its own way. The more we try to crowbar our way into a path that wasn’t meant to be, only means more obstacles will be put in our way. That means more frustration and dead ends and more likelihood of those unhelpful feelings coming up and making us feel bad when we here of other’s successes.
Hold on a second! Isn’t it the case that we can do what we want and be what we want? Well yes it is, but I couldn’t be a ‘President’ now even if I put my mind to it. Too much has happened and I don’t have the skills or training. I could put my mind to it but my heart wouldn’t be in it for the long run. If your heart isn’t in it in something, i.e. if you don’t have the emotional power and desire for that goal, you won’t get there.
Feeling wealthy is partly about accepting who we are and our limitations and moving in the right direction. Yes we do have limitations but if we follow the right path there are no-limitations and we can go as far as we would like because it excites us and we feel good.
Creating a life where you think positive, a life without negatives, involves discovering and following our true destiny.
