The Journey Begins With You. Believe In Yourself
How many times have you wondered on why am I here? Alternatively, what is my destiny in life?
A very important note to the readers here.
I am using the word Universe to capture as a whole not a particular name.
I do not intend for this to be a religious post hence the word Universe but feel free to use what you are most comfortable with and to yourself.
Please also should you reply in a comment don’t overdo the religious aspects, respect the rules here and importantly the beliefs others may have so no need to quote certain verses or where they can be found if you overdo it I make just delete your comment.
You are free in your beliefs I respect that just do not bash your religious ideas regardless what religion you are part of or believe in.
Ok let us continue with the blog
The title are perhaps two of the most common questions you may ask yourself at one point in your life maybe more for others I know I have many times over my last 61 years here in this current lifetime.
There are many more but these two are the deepest.
You ponder; ponder some more and then some, finally you think you know what you want in life according to what you have been going through along your current pathway.
Then you go about asking the Universe to give you what you want, because you don’t want or like what you have or are facing at this present moment in Lineal time.
You may ask please give me the life I dream of as I don’t like what I have now (this can go even deeper but perhaps another time)
Perhaps you are seeking to find the right partner in life and ask, “Please bring this person to my life as I feel my life is lonely or I feel I am not happy with the person I am with now?
You may be asking for money due to the same reason that you feel in your thoughts you are not happy in your current life as it is
You may ask for a better job because you are not happy with the one you have for whatever reasons you have thought and feel is the problem for this unhappiness.
Here you feel you did your part in the agreement with the Universe but for some reasons it has not been heard or you feel you have been left out in this conversation of yours.
Notice a tread here?
Regardless of what the apparent issue is you feel or thought with your feelings you are not Happy.
Happiness, Thoughts and Feelings are the common thread to many areas in life both positive and negative.
Hello anyone there?
You ask yourself and never feel that you are getting any answers.
Did you read what I just said in the last line above?
Yes, “You Feel” is the main word in focus here.
Know that the Universe never declines your request in life.
You are always been given the answer with what you ask for.
“Be careful with what you want you may just get it”
But I asked! Why didn’t I get what I asked for?
Oh, my friend but you did get what you asked for.
The problem is you seem to overlook the fact is that what you asked for was not want you really felt from within you.
Look at these examples”
You bought a lottery ticket with the aim to win a large amount of money, which you think will solve all your issues in life.
Yet as that day of the draws nearer you say to yourself I wish I could win this but deep down you are thinking someone else is going to win I know it, I never have any luck with this no matter how many times I buy a ticket.
Well read into that again, you wish but you tell yourself I never have any luck.
So now you can cancelled a positive thought to a negative thought and that as it continue with those thoughts become the main focus you send out to the Universe.
So as you think and feel you are projecting this message to the Universal on the outside but within you tell another story you truly give to the Universe one that feeds the negative thinking, which is truly projected out there so to speak.
Therefore, when it comes to the draw of the lottery, guess what you didn’t win and rather than working out why you didn’t win, you confirm your last statement you gave out.
I never win so in fact you got what you were asking for.
“But I didn’t ask to not win” you say, Sorry but you did with your deeper feeling you have learnt to build up over life and you continue to do so with other areas in your life as well.
Here is a favorite quote of mine from Dr. Wayne Dyer and it would be wonderful for this to become yours as well.
“When you change the way you look at things the things you look at will change”
Don’t go looking at these things in your life from the outside but look from within you and change that perception of the negative thoughts and feeling so often held.
Let’s look at another Aspect we are all part of together.
Here in Wealthy Affiliate
Yes, we originally came to find a way of making money online, we joined, we learned, we applied all that is given to us.
It could be from what Kyle and Carson’s have given us such as the training, applying the resources they create for us as members, Jay’s weekly video training, other members training, Support and help, we get not only from Site Support but also from the awesome fellow family members we have here.
When we first join, we are asked to fill in a profile you are even asked in training to set your goals at certain time frame going forward.
Regardless of all that have been given to us, we start to feel once more that we need to create doubt within ourselves
Some going through all the training available regardless of what membership you have starter or premium.
You complete the tasks given at the end of each lessons by ticking the boxes and move to the next lessons.
Or do you just tick the box to get to the next part and skip a beat if you will hoping to gain the same success you were looking for without doing those lessons because they seemed a bit hard or you felt it is not needed at the time.
However, what happens to many not all but many and at times you just need to read some questions others ask and already know that it was been explained in the training but most likely not done by the questioner.
Later after a short while, you are stuck with building your website or creating content or wonder why you are not making money or getting indexed etc.
Now once more you get that feeling this is not working perhaps even confirming those doubts you had at the start before and during the time you joined wishing for that answer you seek.
You asked the universe for an answer to your financial success your sought.
You got the answer in the form of Wealthy Affiliate.
You received the training that will teach you the right way towards the success you have sought.
You even get to meet many members in a similar idea as you and get to receive their input, support and help when you ask.
But you try some ideas your give it a go if it works you are a happy cookie for now then another snag holds you back again you get that old feeling which slowly comes to surface you still kept within you
Here are some of those sayings you give to yourself but instead of the old doubt of can I do this you add in a way more insults to your wounds you created.
This is getting hard and not working
I am not good at this
I am struggling with this.
I feel like giving up
I knew this wouldn’t work
This is just another scam that keeps me here a bit longer
I am wasting my money
I am going to quit, this is not what I asked for (re-read your profile on this one
There are more reasons you give to yourself not to be successful but you are prepping yourself for failure with your own thoughts
Then you wonder why this didn’t work and start to get angry and blame the system, perhaps fellow members, the co-founders etc., etc., etc. But of course, you excluded yourself from the failure because this was not what you asked for.
You asked the Universe for any opportunity to find ways to earn that money you want.
You got your answer
You then confirm your negative belief you keep all along and then add fuel to the fire with some of what I just mentioned earlier.
“Ask and it is given” is another saying said by Abraham Hicks via Ester Hicks, (for those that don’t know, Abraham is a group of non –physical beings channeled via Ester Hicks) you can just Google her or find her on YouTube if you want.
I won’t give any links you should already know how to Google or go on YouTube
As in the beginning read, listen and allow these words to resonate deeply within you.
“When you change the way you look at things the things you look at will change”
Building a website may be the foundation to your business but know that you are the rock that foundation will stand on in the future.
If you are having issues with your website and doubting yourself re -read some of the lines below and allow it to connect and resonate with you.
Here are some more words that you can even say if you please and regularly say each and every day until it sinks in deep within you.
“I prayed for change, so I changed my mind.
I prayed for guidance and learned to trust myself.
I prayed for happiness and realized I am not my ego.
I prayed for peace and learned to accept others unconditionally.
I prayed for abundance and realized my doubt kept it out.
I prayed for wealth and realized it is my health.
I prayed for a miracle and realized I am the miracle.
I prayed for a soul mate and realized I am the one.
I prayed for love and realized it’s always knocking,
But I have to allow it in.”
Jackson Kiddard
Note:
Always go forward,
Believe in yourself and in all you do
Enjoy all before you

Great read Andre, I have to say that we probably went to the same school of thought and action in both our lives.
I always get what I want - that is, until I really decide to focus on what I want...

thanks,
Marc
Thanks Marc it awesome that many went to the same school of thought and action
Have a great week
Andre
"Words are powerful - choose the good ones" .... as they shape our subconscious.
We don't always know, or realize, how powerful our words and thoughts are. They are energetic signatures that plant themselves in our mindset. Negative begets negative, and the same with positive.
One thing that The Secret movement drove home was the power of thought, BUT - one element missing with that concept was action. One can THINK themselves rich til "the cows come home", and yet if their actions don't align with their thoughts, you're not matching up to the Universal energy of abundance.
THINK SAY DO all in alignment with each other ;)
Great post Andre!
Namasté,
Tom
Thank you, Tom, and yes I agree with the Secret movement so many times I have seen those who were in the Secret come out later saying something was not in the Secret and then they advertise this missing aspect and that was the action of intention.
The thinking is fine but the action is the intention to your thoughts that will take you home.
Or you can also say the intention is the action of your thoughts.
Enjoy the rest of your week Tom
Namaste

Hi Andre, a wonderful read...from the negative side we have the 'self-fulfilling prophecy' which we all know about and have mastered...'I knew that would happen', we predict the failure before the event. We do this exactly in the way you have described either consciously or sub/unconsciously...Those feelings are from 'deep' within and we believe them..ergo, the result is as we have 'asked'
Yet try and convince someone that the opposite is also true and the response can be less than flattering to the giver of such advice.
For whatever reason, it is harder to work with the positive and does indeed take an inner 'change' in how we think and feel. Practice makes perfect or at least helps.
For my own part, I have listened to Esta Hicks for many years...for some maybe the 'science' side would be more acceptable in regard to 'frequency'....Why does a rose smell so good and make you feel good ?
Even now when I have conversations about 'attracting' it is hard to get across the concept that "I don't want to be poor or broke" is very different to " I am going to be well off or wealthy"
Or " I don't want to be alone" as oppose to " My new partner will share all the good things in my life" We are all to quick to embrace the 'it always happens to me' and yet struggle to think that the opposite can also be true.
Wanting what you 'don't have' and believing you will have them, are two very different things.
Thank you Andre, a timely reminder...I found my 'grateful stone' yesterday and it is now in my pocket.
Be well.
Very interesting, Andre that you write a blog about what I'm looking in intense, especially, the last two days:
What I'm doing and why?
What are the next steps and why?
Where are my desires coming, from the ego or the higher self?
I'm feeling in.
Yes, you see around you what is within you. What you feel within you you will receive from the Universe. The Universe doesn't present to you your well written goals. It present to you how your are feeling about them.
Mahalo Andre for your wonderful blog! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Very helpful, very inspiring!
In Love and Light!
Namaste
Aloha, Jenna
Mahalo Jenna
Perhaps the Reiki may have a part in this???
Yes, it is not the outside goals we set but the inner goals we reflect outwards to the Universe.
I know you will find your answer and they are there before you. Have your self a sandwich while you think about it then it will appear.
Namaste Jenna
In love and Light
Aloha, Andre
Yes, she may :-)))
Thank you very much, Andre! I will do so.
Will write a PM soon.
Took two days off from the computer. Focused on my rest and some other things here.
Today we have downpours and thunder one after another. They are very cleansing but also extremely laud. I'm sound sensitive so not sure if I can work through.
Sending you Love and Light! As always!
Namaste Andre
Aloha back to you!
Jenna
Yes it is a bit cloudy here and expecting some rain but don't think it would be much. Love the thunder and lighting myself always think of it as cleansing which we really need more of.
Headphones help a lot too especially when you have music in the background to at least lessen any sudden crackling sounds.
In love and light, I send you always
Namaste Jenna

Yes, the Universe will give us anything we ask for; we just have to know the correct way to ask. It all comes to getting down deep enough to change those core beliefs, so that when we ask for something, we can be confident we will get it.
I've been working on it for 80 years. Sometimes it works; sometimes I forget and let the negative creep in. However, I still believe that if I can figure out how to turn off my negative thoughts, I can win big-time.
Thank you, Fran, and know you are doing a great job at that.
Yes there may be times we forget as we get flooded with some thoughts we don't normally want that is why it is great to have something within seeing distance to remind you.
Such as a sticky note with a particular saying that triggers you back into action.
You will win big time because you deserve it.
Blessings
Andre
By the way, liked your "why" at the top. I just finished a post about finding your why. Great minds, and all that.
Going into the super afciliate challenge this was a sondercul reminder to keep our mindset in the forward progression leaving negativety snd doubt in the dust
Thank You Cathy for that wishing you well with eh sac and know that you will be your best in all you do.
Keep believing in yourself and continue to go forward
Andre
Thank you, Andre, for sharing your thoughts. You certainly have touched an important point.
Keeping a negative belief is not a good thing to succeed in whatever you do, we have to trust ourselves.
So lovely words, I've saved them.
Jacqueline
Hi Jacqueline
Thank you for the visit and comments and Yes I agree keeping negative beliefs in not a good thing and can and will hold you back if many areas of life.
Enjoy the rest of your week

Negative thoughts will vanquish any hope you have in life. Wealthy Affiliate is a web host and a domain host and that's a fact. Affiliate marketing is a fact. You only have to learn how to do it.
Very true but not just to learn how to do it but to take action to make it happen as well. Learning only take you so far action gets you there.
Have a great week ahead
Andre
Thanks, Andre. I thought I have said it all. Thanks for emphasizing it more.
You are welcome
Andre
