What was I thinking!

We do and think some crazy things in this life of ours.  Sometimes we marvel at what transpires each and every day, and then there are days when we simply say what the hell happened.  I've been in situations where I had no idea what to do, how I got into this mess, or even what day of the week it was.

Yes we do in fact think and do some crazy things in life, but what I want you to understand today is that your thoughts and feelings are truly the building blocks of what is going to transpire in your life, and the sooner you take control of the thoughts you have, the words you speak, and the feelings you own, then and only then are you going to be able to have the life you always dreamt of.

Now I know I've spent a lot of time over the last few weeks talking about feelings, words, and thoughts, but they are in fact the foundation for what you are going through, what you will go through, and certainly what you have already gone through.  When you're able to control the words that come out of your mouth, coupled with the feeling that what you desire is already here, even if you have not seen the manifestation yet, then you are on your way to having all that you desire.

I'm in the middle of a change in my life.  It's a good change, but one that should have come a while ago.  I discovered that I had in fact kept myself in a place of unhappiness because I had said certain things, even though my intent was good, but words that in fact had held me back.  Once I was able to release certain beliefs, I found that I was able to see doors that were opening to me, and all I had to do was walk through those doors.  It's amazing that we are so close to situations that we don't always see the situations we have placed ourselves in.

Each of you will come to a point in your life where you will ask the question, "What was I thinking." Most of the time we have good intentions, but as the say the path to hell is paved with good intentions".  Have you trapped yourself in a particular place because you have not wanted to let go of something, or you have held on to a false belief about something else?  Have you found yourself asking all kinds of questions as a result of something you have just gone through?  Have you just wondered what things would be like now had you not done what you did years ago?  We can all sit here and play the "What If" game, but that is nothing more then an act of futility, because truth be told, you have already lived through what you have gone through.  The key is to learn from everything and if there is something that you don't want to experience again, then don't put yourself in that position again.

What if this happened?  What if that didn't ?  Life can be a lot of "What ifs", but do you want to spend a lot of time, and needless energy figuring out all the what if scenarios that each of us have opportunity for?  My suggestion is that you simply move forward and learn from whatever has happened.  It doesn't matter what has already taken place, what matters what you are going to do in the future.

You have a decision to make.  You can either think about things that will really get you to your happy place, or you can think about things that are completely contrary to what you really want and desire.  You have the ability to think happy thoughts, loving thoughts, creative thoughts, or you can ponder why everything is wrong around you, wrong about the world, and why you simply fall into a pile of crap every other day.  Now given these two options, which one makes more sense, and which one would serve you better?

Take a few minutes today and just imagine your most perfect day, and then allow those thoughts of happiness flow over you.  If you can dream it, feel it, think about it, you might very well fall into it when you least expect it.  Let me give you a warning however, don't allow your own concept of time to screw up your thinking.  Things will come to you when they are supposed to come to you and not a moment sooner.  If you try to fabricate something that isn't meant to be, you are going to make things worse.  Let the Universe orchestrate things, you simply go along for the ride.

I know we've all done things we wished we hadn't, but we have, we will do it again, so why not cut yourself some slack and just move ahead.  If making a mistake was a death sentence, then there would be no one left on the planet.  Certainly there are people out there who like to portray themselves as being perfect, but you and I both know they are delusional.  Accept that mistakes will be made, that you will from time to time think about things that you shouldn't, say things that you know are way off base.  What is important is that you begin to say things that will build you up, that will strengthen your resolve to have the life you desire, and that you will finally feel as thought life is pretty darn good at the moment.

Thoughts, feelings, and words are your key to triumph.  If you will change the way you have used these tools in the past, you will see a difference in you, and then watch as your new horizons open up and show you some pretty breath taking views.
