We’re all magnetic but what are we attracting?
Whether it’s positive life experiences or unpleasant experiences, we’re having one or the other.
You could think of yourself as one of the two ends of a magnet – the north or south pole.
Are you an optimistic happy person with thoughts of abundance and unlimited potential or are you someone who is a bit miserable and negative, cynical with a lack and limitation or victim outlook. We can flip-flop back and forth at times depending on circumstances that occur in our life.
Which end of the spectrum you fit on depends on your upbringing, your life experiences and how you interpret them. This is how your belief system is molded. What is the dialogue going on in your head saying about things?
Most of us have been inundated with a lot of negative programming growing up. Things like no, don’t do that, you can’t be/do/have that, and so on. We seek out courses, techniques and experts to reverse and reprogram our minds to think in a better, more fulfilling way. We change our environment and the types of people we hang out with.
Some of the best advice is to follow your own path, discover and pursue your passions so you end up doing what you love to do. Finding out what your purpose in life is another version of this advice. That to me can sound like pre-destiny if taken the wrong way. But when you discover your passions, your purpose should fall into place. If it doesn’t feel like a fit, then you need to reassess what you think you are passionate about.
So many people – and this is a tragedy – don’t know what they want. This is like sitting in the passenger seat of your own car and giving up your personal power to the whims of the world. It’s said that if you don’t know what you want then you end up taking whatever comes along – and that is rarely a good match for you. In fact, it’s a downright insult to your true self.
Free your mind of unlimiting thoughts and allow yourself to discover what it is that you want. You ARE allowed to change your mind if you decide to want something else down the road. Don’t worry that you might make a wrong choice or get stuck in something you decide later you don’t want.
For some of us, we have an enormous mental block that keeps them from discovering what we want. It can literally keep us from having a coherent thought process. One cause of this dilemma is that deep down we have a belief that we don’t deserve it or don’t think we can realistically achieve it.
This goes back to faulty programming. If what you think is unobtainable, then try starting with small achievements. Something as mundane and silly as deciding what you want to eat for lunch. Not what you feel you SHOULD be eating, but allow yourself to have something you want to have. Sure it’s simple and doesn’t require a lot of thought or work, but the underlying principle is basically the same. The bigger goal might require more action and thought and time, but it can be done.
