Isn't in interesting (and oh, so true) that most people don't get what they want in life because they don't know what they want. They may have a vague idea, but they can't explain clearly what true success means for them. In fact, when asking someone what they want, nine times out of ten they will tell you what they don't want. They say things like:
- "Well, I don't want to be broke anymore."
- "I don't want all this credit card debt."
- "I don't want to argue with my husband."
- "I sure don't want to be fat."
Those are good answers to the question, "What don't you want?" But, what about when the question is, "What do you want?"
There's a big difference between knowing what we don't want, and knowing what we do want. That distinction is the key to our success.
The truth is... if we're thinking about what we don't want, that's what will show up in our lives. What we think about, we bring about. So if we think consistently about what we don't want, then that's what the universe will assist us in manifesting in our world.
Another thing that people do in response to the question, "What do you want?" is to explain not what they want, but what they think they can get. This can also limit our results for two reasons:
•1. It may set our standard very low and put in motion a pattern of negative thinking.
•2. It may not be what we really want, so there's no passion in the dream!
The human spirit will not invest itself in mediocrity, and we need that spirit to achieve what we want. Our goals should be so exciting that we have butterflies in our stomachs! That's how we can unlock the power of the mind and put it to work for us!
Thoughts are things! Let's work together and choose the great ones!
