I have an amazing job! Every day I have the pleasure and challenge of working with people who want to be successful, yearn for financial freedom, want the freedom that owning a business provides, and they want it now! There is no magic wand. It takes hard work, persistence, and belief. All kidding aside, it is as easy and as difficult as you think it will be. Henry Ford’s words “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right,” resonate with me every day when I see people struggle with the concept of the only blockage they have to business and life success is in fact, themselves.
History and successful people of this millennium have left some memorable work, insight, and quotes to support the theory and prove, we have more power and ability than we think we have and that everything and anything conceivable is attainable and achievable. One of my favorite quotes is by Frank Lloyd Wright: “The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.” I fall back on this whenever my focus waivers.
Have you been watching Oprah’s OWN Lifeclasses? The underlying thread is that there is a bigger life for you than you can even imagine, and YOU have the power. It is the message of sacred scriptures; it is the message of 11-11-11 and 12-12- 12 gurus, even children’s fables and movies—“You always had the power to go back to Kansas.” So, why do people struggle with the concept and find it difficult to believe? I am sure there are a myriad of reasons, the least of which is the trend of negative news/shows. My college professor used tell us to read whenever we thought we were bored, but to remember: garbage in, garbage out. In other words, external stimulus has a direct influence on internal thoughts and internal thoughts are the engine of success.
Recently I was reminded of something I learned several years ago about the teachings and results of Dr. Emoto’s Water Experiment. It was astounding to me. In 1994, Dr. Masaru Emoto had an idea to freeze water, and then looking through a microscope he was convinced he would be able to see something like snow crystals. It took two months of trial and error before beautiful hexagonal crystals were created from a seemingly invisible world. Emoto and his staff were excited. He moved through different sources of water to see what would be displayed and then he moved to look at different sources of water, discovering source affected results. The really profound results came when he taped different types of thoughts onto glasses of water, froze them, and examined the resulting water crystals under a microscope. What he found was that water crystals infused with higher vibrational thoughts like love or joy formed beautiful patterns, while those with negative thoughts like hate or anger were rough, opaque, and in a state of chaos.
Your life is the same. After all, your body is made up of mostly water. It is involved in every bodily function and makes up 70% to 75% of your total body weight. Your thoughts are having a direct influence on your body. Think about this: if 75% of your body is water, how are your thoughts influencing your health and life? The larger picture is that your thoughts are having a direct influence on everything in your life.
There are stories of almost unbelievable yet miraculous events happening all around us; they are not meant only for others or special people, they are meant for everyone to experience. Speak to anyone who has attained success or greatness of some kind, they will tell you they thought about it, dreamed about it, believed it, took action toward the goal, and always held a vision in their head of how it will feel and look when it is achieved. A perfect example, and one that motivates me, is when President Kennedy said the United States should make a goal to put a man on the moon and return him safely to earth within ten years; why does it motivate me? Because at the time of his inaugural address, they didn’t have a rocket ship capable of reaching the moon! That statement and timeframe galvanised the space program and they indeed reached the goal. It teaches us that having dreams are important, but they will not become reality unless we set a timeline and action points and then do each one.
Negative programming from past experiences will always be with us unless we recognize it and take steps to eliminate it from our lives. Often being conscious of it makes enough of a difference in many people’s lives. In Power vs. Force by Dr. David R. Hawkins, he illustrated that each human emotion has a vibration in the exact way that matter does. Heavy emotions like fear, anger, or shame vibrate at low frequencies while feelings of love, joy, and peace vibrate at high uplifting frequencies. Supporting evidence conducted by other researchers and universities shows that it’s not just other people you can affect with your vibration but also objects and your REALITY! Interestingly one of the things they discovered is that your energetic frequency can affect the energetic frequencies of those around you. No kidding!
Your vibrational frequency will attract emotions and physical manifestations of things that vibrate at the same frequency. So if your energetic frequency is low, you will attract disruption and difficulties into your life. When you shift your energetic frequency to higher levels, you’ll attract a life that serves you better. The average human being is vibrating at just 207 (on a scale of 1-1,000, love is 500). This tells us that millions of people around the world don’t know how to get out of feeling stressed, anxious, sad, or fearful and are unable to move forward in their lives. Shifting your energetic frequencies to 500 or higher means you will be able to easily attract money to meet your needs, desires, and purpose. If you’re currently not in a fulfilling job or your business is not flourishing, change the way you think, and then expect change and opportunity to start coming your way.
Everything takes effort, concentration, and a belief that everything is working for good—your good. It isn’t by chance, happenstance, or luck; it is waiting for you just beyond your next thought. As Mike Dooley says, “Thoughts become things . . . choose the good ones.”
