The truth is, you are not broken and everything is working. With so many bad reports in the news and on social media, unless we are on guard, we can rapidly start to believe that life is impossible. Worse still, we could start to believe that we are broken and that we are not enough, the tide of negativity can appear too much to bear.
The fact of the matter is the state of our financial affairs, and our health and relationships, are working perfectly, and whether the results we are seeing are what we want is entirely by our own design.
But with a small amount of insight, the power of just how magnificent we are, just how powerful we are, can emerge from deep within our souls.
We teach our children, and have done for generations, that if certain things are not achieved in an allowed timeframe, then that doom of failure will engulf us and take us to a place from which there is no return.
I was told at school: "Unless you pull your socks up, you will amount to nothing."
At that time, I did not pull my socks up, and yet I have managed to achieve some amazing things, to experience some fantastic things in life, things I was told would not be available unless said socks were pulled up.
In an interview for Brainz Magazine Vincent Cheng explains similar ideas from his life journey. Click on the picture below or on the following link to read his article.
There were times when I felt like giving up, and this resonates with many of our clients, the light at the end of the tunnel seemed non-existent, and the sense of brokenness hovers at the door ready to lead people on the path of rack and ruin.
I was too tempted to think that I was broken and nothing I did was working. Nothing could have been farther from the truth.
Over time I realised the amazing truth that I was not broken and everything I was doing was working, despite the fact that the results I was seeing weren't what I wanted.
This profound discovery was incredible and, more importantly, enabled me to take control and direct the power within me.
For many, it is difficult to accept this truth that we are not broken and that everything is working. At the heart of most sales is the idea that we are missing something or are broken and that the service or product being sold to us will reverse the broken state that we are being told is the status quo.
So, how do we get to the bottom of this?
As with all life's journeys, there are some pivotal gems of knowledge that guide us to the next phase of the journey, and sometimes we may only uncover their power with hindsight. The destination may be different for each person, but there are some universal points that can help everyone.
Initially, some may seem harsh, but once analysed the power these ideas hold is profound.
Not in any particular order of importance, we have found that the following gems will change your life forever.
It was Neville Goddard who said this:
"Man's chief delusion is his conviction that there are causes other than his own state of consciousness.
All that befalls a man, all that is done by him, all that comes from him, happens as a result of his state of consciousness".
In modern terms, Goddard was saying that the results we see in our own lives are a direct result of our own state of consciousness. Consciousness here is loosely referring to what we are aware of and what we think.
So, the results we are seeing, we have created. It sounds brutal and harsh – almost unfair.
Yet if we stand back for a moment and are prepared to change our perspective, an amazing power unleashes itself in our lives.
People often respond to the initial statement by saying things like:
“So, you are saying all of the results I am seeing in my life are my fault.”
And the truth is that you have some responsibility for those results.
There were two things to note in what Goddard was saying:
If we know results are a consequence of what we are thinking, then we know that the process works – that in some respects we are not broken. The results might not be what we want, but the process itself is working.
In itself, that is amazing. We do not need to analyse the process, or the thing we are doing – we know it works. If it is working, then we can change our awareness and our thoughts and automatically change the results we are seeing.
Can you see? You are not broken, what you are doing is working.
What you are aware of and thinking about is showing up in your life.
If you can grasp the idea that you have complete autonomy of your awareness and thought-life, everything changes in an instant. We don't allow others to rule our lives or results, we get to decide.
So, the idea is this: if you don't like what you are seeing, then think about something that you do want. And, guess what? That is what you will see. Why? Because the thoughts you are thinking are producing the results you are seeing.
It is a proven fact that 96%-97% of all results come as a consequence of the thoughts in the subconscious.
Goddard is saying here that we can change the subconscious by taking responsibility for ourselves and thinking of what we want, not what we don't want.
So many teachers are saying that the process we are doing is not working – that we are broken and need fixing.
But what we are showing is that everything is working perfectly well, we just need to become aware of what we want. We talk in our courses about the direction of travel as being one of the keys to success. We can see here a difference in the direction of travel. Instead of thinking we are broken and nothing is working, we realise everything is working and we are whole.
In our courses, we talk about the fact that we are a 'government of one' where we get to decide we are the masters of our destiny.
If we can see Goddard's statement as a catalyst to release the power we have, then our lives automatically take a turn for the better.
So much of life tries to rob us of our destiny, by simply removing the need for us to take responsibility. We are being conditioned that the woes we are experiencing are somehow the responsibility of others. But by taking responsibility, we take control.
The even better news is that we are wired at a core DNA level to be in charge of our own destiny.
We gain a sense of fulfilment when we use the power we have to control our own destiny. It's amazing and profoundly freeing.
