You absolutely can create your own reality, and you do it- whether consciously or not! When you focus your thoughts on specific things, maybe involving your career, or your finances or relationships; what you put your focus on will actually become the things that are attracted to you.

Do you hate your job? Have to force yourself to get out of bed, and go to work? If you are always focused on all that you hate about your job, you're not going appreciate any of the positive aspects of your job.

The more you focus on the negatives, the less positive aspects there will be. People who say they hate their job often say they want to get a new job.

Simply wanting something isn't enough to attract it to you when you're spending all of your energy and time obsessing on what you want that you don't already have.

Are you confused? Let's say you don't like your job. You're continuously thinking about all the things about your job that make you unhappy and leave you unsatisfied.. So you intend to get a new job.

A job that will make you happy, but you won't get it even though you want to because you attract whatever it is you put your energy into. You are actually attracting the negative aspects of your job, all those things you hate- and all because it's the only thing you are focused on.

There is a difference between focusing your energy on wanting to have something, and focusing your energy on not having something you want! When you focus on not having you prevent the ability to focus on "having." Most people want to win the lottery. What would you do with the money if you won? Pay off your house? Take a family vacation, or go back to school? Maybe you would help out a family member who needs something they can't afford.

The reality is, you could be doing many of the things you want do with lottery winnings. You would just have to do them on a smaller scale. Instead of focusing on what you don't have, and saying "I can't afford a new car", you could take a few hundred dollars from your bank account to get the vehicle repaired and make sure it is reliable for the next few years.

If you've got a friend or family member with excessive bills, and you know if you could just help by making a month's payments it would give the person a little breathing room- but you don't because it would be more than half of your savings.

All you can think about is what would happen if you fell behind, got sick, or something broke or needed replacing. Consider this: of the people who win large lottery winnings, 90% of them are in the same financial situation (or worse) as they were before they won the lottery less than a year later? It's because of fear.

The feeling most people carry with them of not having enough, and the fear that you experience every time you spend or give away money. People believe "there isn't enough", and when you believe there isn't enough, it won't matter how much money you actually have, how fat your bank account is, it will really never be enough with this mindset Instead, create a "have enough" mindset.

Know you have an abundance of whatever it is you need, whether it is money or something else in your life.

You create your own reality.
