Getting Back to Basics

Sometimes I forget that some people come across this blog and have never heard that we create the events and circumstances of our lives or how we do that, and I am posting about various aspects of self growth without any background so I decided that it is time for a refresher course.

It has been said, by many different people, in many different ways for thousands of years, that we become what we think about, we get what we think about and that like attracts like-that is the basis of the universal philosophy. Now, if you are happy, wealthy, healthy and popular that is great and I know that you are using the laws of the universe whether you realize it or not but if you are sitting there and you are unhappy, lonely, broke or unhealthy it is because that is what you have focused on whether it was because you worried, because you have anger you have never let go of, a bad or negative attitude or because you never set a goal and worked to achieve it or for the negative images and thoughts you have allowed to dominate your thoughts-then it is time to consider making a change.

And that change will be as hard or as easy as you decide it will be, after all, thoughts and behaviors are simply habits and habits can be changed at any time and we will discuss that soon, today is for deciding; do you want to make a change or do you want to stay right where you are? If you want to make some changes then the first thing to do is figure out what it is that you want. Sit down and write a list of goals; health goals, wealth goals, educational goals-you get the picture-and then decide which are the top three from each category. Rank each goal by how long you estimate it will take to reach them; 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 1o years. A variation of this is to write your top 50 goals which usually includes lots of small things that you can cross off the list fast, and that works well for people who are developing a new habit and want to esteem boost that crossing something off a goal list gives them.

Next post we will discuss what to do with your new goal list.
