A Life by Default? - or - A Life by Design?
I attended a Mind Power Course about a year ago and I was introduced to a new perspective that had a major impact on my life! We've all heard it said that our thoughts create our Reality. There are other sayings like: "As you think, so you are". I've heard them all over the years but never took them seriously. Then I discovered Mind Power.
Consider this - most often people look at life and reason that what's happening on the outside determines what's happening on the inside. By 'allowing' this to be our truth, we are living a life by default. The 'outside' is the world 'out there'. The 'inside' is the world of our minds where our thoughts and feeling live.

As an example, if the day outside is wet, cold and gloomy, then we project this inside and feel gloomy. Or, if events in our lives are not ideal or unfolding as we would hope, then we feel miserable and depressed on the inside. We assume that the outside world is creating our inside world. The reverse is true! In fact, the outside world is being created by our inner world!
Let me explain. The central theme of Mind Power is that once we create the inner world of our choosing, based just on our thinking, then over time, the outside world will align with our thinking and the outside world will adjust accordingly.
Have you noticed that people who say "I am always lucky, are lucky". People who say, "I always have a cold every winter, always have a cold every winter". The most famous statement is: "I'll never make money with this" and the Universe obeys and gives them exactly what they believe - lack!
While I was on the Mind Power Course I wrote the following to myself:
When I decide to consistently and persistently transform my inner world then, by law, this MUST manifest in my outer world. The outer world then complies with my inner world as a dutiful servant - Your wish is my command! The process may not happen immediately but in time my outer world will conform to my inner truth.
I went on later to write this:
I do not accept a life by default! Knowing that my present paradigm is my past, lodged within my being, down to the cellular level, programmed into my DNA, I now consciously choose to create a totally new reality in line with my dreams and longings. I now penetrate to these deepest levels and I replace my old limiting beliefs with new empowering beliefs that affirm my new paradigm. I am accessing my DNA and reprogramming it for a life I choose - a life of great beauty and abundance. I now employ visualization, affirmations and an abundance mindset to create my new paradigm. I choose a life by DESIGN!
We can choose our own visualizations and affirmations to suit us personally. Always make powerful positive statements and never use the negative. Choose what we want and ignore what we don't want.
Remember that things will not change over night. It takes effort and awareness to allow this to happen. Awareness means being aware of what we are thinking in every moment. Pay attention to your thoughts! Watch your own mind and see how it works. It will take time because there are many negative thoughts lodged in our sub-conscious and these will continue to do harm until they are reprogrammed by our positive affirmations.
Put in the work and you will see results. The law of attraction cannot fail. You will attract to yourself the thoughts you think. You have a choice - consider all this 'mind stuff' to be nonsense and ignore it. Or, give it your best shot and change your life. You can die never having tried or you can die knowing you gave it all you've got!
You make the choice!

Great post. Too many of us wait for things to happen rather than going out and making them happen (I'm guilty of waiting). We need to learn to be the "action"...not the "reaction".
Btw, I would change "Wealthy Affiliate is Probably the Best Training Site on the Web" to "Is the Best Training Site on the Web". The training, support, and community are top notch. Thanks.
Well stated, Vince. I enjoyed reading your post.
I'll sum it up this way:
Choose to think about what you want, not what you don't want.
As soon as you think, "I'll never make money online" - you are working against yourself.
Instead, rephrase your thinking - "I want to make money online, so what do I need to do to make that happen". You will recognize the right answer when it appears because it will make you feel very happy and leave no doubt in your mind. You will "believe".
Ultimately that is the goal, to think in such a way as to change our limiting beliefs.
