It’s Time to Reassess

Ok, so it’s the end of January. Now is the time to reassess your “success” list. What has happened in the past month? What have you accomplished?

If you’re well on your way to achieving your successes, great! Maybe you want to revisit the 2012 Success List in order to tweak it or refine it a bit now that you’ve had a month to think about it. But maybe you have uncovered several limiting beliefs this month. If so, use the next week to work with denials to clear them. While you are doing your week’s worth of denials, start working on the wonderful affirmations you want to say AFTER your denials. But don’t say them yet, just start thinking about them. Repeating this process frequently.  In fact, I would like you to consider taking the first week of every month to clear more land and start planting new stronger and healthier seeds. This will keep your ground clear and fertile. You’ll also be surprised at what you discover.

So what if this has not been a great month for following your Success List? What if you ‘gave up’ early on? What if nothing’s happened and you’re discouraged? Should you just stop and wait for next New Year’s Day? Heck no! It’s just time to reassess.

Hopefully you haven’t gotten so upset that you threw out the list. Before you take that list out and go over it, I want you to go back to your inventory list – the one we made at the beginning of the process. Start a new page and date it today’s date. Make an inventory of where you were on 31 December and then write down where you are today. Also write out what’s happened to you this month. This will be easier in the future if you record things every day (a great use for the Gratitude Journal). So what’s been going on in your life? I bet you’ll be surprised at the great things that have happened in this short time. Sometimes all it takes is to look at this inventory to realize that things aren’t as bad as you thought they were. Maybe everything didn’t go perfectly but I bet your attitude about them is much different and more positive. That’s a step in the right directions. Remember that you are not what you think but you are what you thought. So this month’s positive thoughts are producing great things in your life – you just may not be able to see them yet.

But what should you do now?

After you’ve made this inventory, you need to make sure that the items on this list are really yours. We talked about that before but maybe you didn’t really know or you thought the success list items were yours but they aren’t. Check your inner feelings again. Is it you who wants to achieve such and such or is it your wife, your parents, your doctor, etc? If it’s not yours, cross it off. None of this “well, it should be mine even if it isn’t”. That won’t work until it really IS yours. I finally quit smoking when I woke up one day and said “enough, I’m ready to stop this” and then it was easy. But all the other times I tried to stop were unsuccessful because I did not OWN them then. Once I made MY decision, then it was easy – even after 26+ years of smoking.

That would be the first place to start. Examine your list and see if these are things YOU really want. Be honest with yourself. It will mean the difference between success and feeling as if you can’t accomplish anything. Ask yourself if you really want this thing. Where did the idea come from? Has it been a long standing desire? Or something that just developed recently. If it’s long standing, it might have its roots in other people’s encouragement.

Tip of the Month – February

 Let’s take a look at the Universal Laws this month.

The Law of Consciousness, the Law of Mind Action and the Law of Cause and Effect are the first three laws. I suggest at least once a month you review these first three laws. Sit down with a pen and paper and write down any new ideas that have come up that you think are limiting to you.

As you move into the next Laws coming up, you realize that our subconscious is like peeling skins off of an onion. We peel a little bit off at a time. We move through those and into a new awareness. Then we have to go back and pull off another layer. We look at another viewpoint with different things. Each time we evaluate where and who we are and what we’re doing with our lives.

We have within us that capacity to dream bigger, receive newer ideas and expressions of what we want to do and have an unfolding life that gets better all the time. It took us many years to limit ourselves through the subconscious action of error belief and the mistakes of life.

As we make these changes in our lives, we need to go back and look at the Law of Consciousness again.

What do we really believe? If we still attract unpleasant people to our lives, then we say, “What is it? Reveal to me this truth.” Ask yourself over and over, “Show me something new that I can do. Show me how I can let go of these old ideas. What is it that I need to let go of at this time?

Each time we move through a review of these earlier laws, we open up ourselves for the Christ mind to become stronger and more powerful in our lives. That is when your ideas begin to become genius activity. You begin to dream in bigger and better ways. The Christ in you has no limitations.

The Christ in you has no barriers. It has nothing that will prevent the Christ itself from being that radiant life of spirit within you. You can do all things. You begin to believe it as you get all of the little things out of the way that have kept you in struggle, overcoming and all of the things that you thought you had to do.

We work with the Law of Cause and Effect and realize that as we’re giving out, it’s coming back. The more stability we have in our ability to hold onto that faith that we’re working with these laws, the quicker and easier they come back to us.

Words of Wisdom

This week’s phrase is “Hurting for money”.

Have you heard this? People who don’t have enough money sometimes will say this. But what are you really saying?

“Hurting” = pain

“For Money” – Getting money

So, this tells your subconscious mind that you have to have pain in order to get money.

This contradicts all we teach. You do NOT have to hurt or experience pain in order to get money. Prosperity (in all fields, not just wealth) is easy and is yours by Divine Right!

See if this is your belief. Were you brought up thinking you have to struggle and work really hard and have pain in order to be prosperous.

If this is buried inside you, create your denials (such as “there is no pain in or around my financial affairs” or “I do not have to hurt in order to get money” etc). Say these denials for at least a week and see what else comes up (and create denials for whatever comes up).

Then use your affirmations after that. If you can’t come up with a personalized one use “Wealth and prosperity is mine by Divine Right and it comes to me easily and quickly”.

You do deserve everything and can have everything. We just have to peel that onion away.
