Yes, Achieving Wealth Means Re-Programming Yourself
Achieving Wealth is possible if you RE-PROGRAM YOUR NEGATIVE THOUGHTS. Why do you think that some people achieve wealth and always seem to have everything they desire, and others don’t? In the words of Joe Dispenza, the guru of positive thinking:
If you can accept that God has set up a Trust Fund for every soul with the same gifts for each, then why are THEY able to tap into this Trust Fund and you can’t?
Negative Programming Holds You Back from Achieving Wealth
Part of the reason has to do with programming. You believe that you are entitled to wealth and its advantages if you are brought up in a wealthy family. Therefore, you continue to attract the same level of wealth. So, your THOUGHTS attract what you have been programmed to expect.
Conversely, you very seldom achieve wealth and hold on to it if you are brought up in a family that struggles to make ends meet,. Due to your negative programming, you believe that the world is full of lack and limitation, and wealth is not for you. Your THOUGHTS attracted what you have been programmed to expect.
To Achieve Wealth, Spend 5 Minutes a Day on Manifesting Your Dreams
To Achieve Wealth, if you just spent five minutes – that’s right, just five minutes – thinking of ways to attract abundance before you get out of bed in the morning, you would be amazed at the results. Take it a step further and do the same thing before you go to bed at night, and you will see even more remarkable results.
Imagine spending only ten minutes a day exercising your mind to create positive things in your life! This should tell you how powerful your thoughts are.
Your Negative Thoughts are Sabotaging Your Abundance
You may say, “Well, I spend quiet time each day meditating on the things I want, and I write my Gratitude Letter to God each morning, and I STILL DON’T GET WHAT I WANT. This stuff just doesn’t work!”
The reason it doesn’t work is because of your THOUGHTS. Even if you begin telling yourself that you can have abundance in your life, if you don’t really BELIEVE it, your subconscious mind becomes confused. You keep sending our conflicting commands.
Your Conscious Mind Creates Your Reality
Your Conscious mind sends out commands to your Subconscious mind, which is simply an order taker. And your Subconscious mind will fulfill your commands dispassionately. It doesn’t ask whether your command is GOOD OR BAD for you.
Let’s call your Conscious mind Captain Conscious. You are captain of your ship. Whatever you think becomes a command to your Subconscious mind, which we will call your Crew, and your Crew will carry out your command. Unfortunately, you keep giving your Crew conflicting orders.
Here is an Example of How You Sabotage Your Abundance
Here is a simplistic example of how, as the captain of your ship, you allow your thoughts to sabotage your abundance:
YOU:
“I SAY I WANT MORE WEALTH AND PROSPERITY IN MY LIFE. CREW, BRING ME THIS WEALTH AND PROSPERITY!”
YOUR CREW:
“AYE, AYE, CAPTAIN!” They then set about steering your ship in the direction that will bring wealth and prosperity into your life.
YOU:
“I THINK I DON’T REALLY DESERVE WEALTH AND PROSPERITY.”
YOUR CREW:
“AYE, AYE, CAPTAIN!” You just cancelled your first order to steer your ship to wealth and prosperity. So, they now turn your ship around and steer it back toward the LACK AND LIMITATION your ship has been moored in.
You CAN Overcome Your Negative Thoughts
This is how I managed to overcome my negative thoughts and beliefs that I didn’t deserve wealth and prosperity. So, I created this image of myself as Captain Conscious on my ship I called the SS Subconscious. I gave orders to my Crew (my subconscious mind) and saw my Crew respond to my command EVEN IF IT WASN’T IN MY BEST INTEREST!
I understood that a ship’s crew simply follows orders and won’t question the command.
Remember that everything you think, and every word that you speak, is a command to your subconscious mind, which will dispassionately carry out your orders, GOOD OR BAD.
This Week’s Course of Action
- Begin to become aware of what you think and speak.
- Wear a rubber band around your wrist and pop it every time you think or say something negative. When your wrist gets sore enough, you will be more careful about your thoughts and words!
- You could also tap the middle of your forehead between your eyes, and say these words, “Cancel/Clear.” Think of your mind as a computer. You can delete those negative thoughts and words with this simple act.
Think and say lots and lots of positive things throughout the day, so your Crew will immediately fulfill your command. Include the words “THANK YOU GOD” so the Universe will be activated, and you will receive your desires TWICE AS QUICKLY!
