That's easy for YOU to say!

I've heard it before. I've even thought it before. So I know where you are coming from if you're thinking it too. What? You hear one of the Secret teachers telling you how you should think more positively and put yourself in that place that you desire to be in order to make it happen for you. And there you are thinking "yes, that's easy for YOU to say. Look at your life. You're living the life that dreams are made of."


Well, let me tell you in no uncertain terms that so long as you don't change your beliefs, nothing outside will change either in any lasting way. If you're thinking something like:



"If I could only break myself free from this energy sucking job, this stress-filled relationship, or this impossible situation, then I could really take off."



Your life will not change in this case, because it is very clear where your beliefs lie. You're stuck! If you believe yourself to be stuck, you will remain stuck. Until you can change this belief, you will never find that opportunity to break free. I know this sounds like a paradox, but you have to believe you are free before you will be free. But, how?


This is a very challenging concept to accept for many, but for those who do grasp it, miracles happen. The very best advice I can give you is to look for examples of people who did this and managed to break themselves free from circumstances even worse than your own. There are examples. Find them. Use them to inspire yourself to change your mentality.


Even if you don't know how this can be possible right now, by seeing that others have done it, you will at least learn to see that it has to be possible. this is the beginning of your transformation. It may take some time to come around, but consider this:

Time will pass whether you are working towards something to free yourself or not.

Would it not be better to spend that time working on changing your own beliefs? If it does take time, so be it. The sooner you can begin thinking in this way, the sooner you will be able to grasp the concept of believing you are "freeing" yourself.


When you can honestly believe that you are freeing yourself, you can begin to work on believing you are already free. Think of your job as a stepping stone. It pays the bills while you work on educating yourself in success. The bad relationship educates you in all that still have to learn about creating a beneficent relationship. Your situation teaches you how to avoid getting yourself into this type of problem down the road, and to really appreciate the good you can see in your life.


And in any of these cases, you will learn something of value to offer others in the form of wisdom once you come out on top of things. This is the essence of service to others, which is a key to true and lasting success.


The idea is to change your focus in the ways so that you can do so as much as possible right now in this very moment. Work on maintaining your focus there until it becomes your predominant way of thinking. When this happens, you will surely begin seeing miracles happen in your life.


In short, you will actually see breaking free as something imminent. When you see it as imminent, you will have begun to lift yourself to a new level of existence. It will soon be your turn to hear someone say to you "Yes, that's easy for YOU to say. Look at your life. You're living the life that dreams are made of."



I want YOU to be successful!!
