The First Step To Having Everything You Want In Life

Each and every person on this planet is different. You are unique.
When I say that you are unique I am not talking about your face or your body or your finger prints, even though all those are unique to you. What I am really talking about is the essence of you. The you that is above the flesh and blood. The you that the philosophers refer to when they ask the age old question "who am I". The inner you.
This inner you is what determines the outer you. It determines whether you are fat or thin, rich or poor, happy or unhappy. But what determines the inner you?
The inner you is the sum total of your thoughts. If you keep thinking the same types of thoughts that you usually think then the inner you will stay the same and, as a result, your life will stay the same. But if you change the way you think the inner you will change and consequentially your life will change.
Whether you stay the same, change for the better or change for the worse is all dependent on what you habitually think.
Just as an apple cannot grow from the seed of an orange then a happy life cannot grow from thoughts of sadness, riches cannot spring from poverty thinking and a life of fulfillment cannot result from thoughts of lack.
Your thoughts determine who you are, which in turn determines the life you have. If you want to change the life you have then you have to change who you are. You can accomplish this change by changing your thoughts.
This relationship between your thoughts and your life has been known for thousands of years. You will see it appearing again and again in the writings of the wise throughout the ages. Yet, in this so called golden age of knowledge, most people still have no idea of this relationship between their thoughts and their life.
How often do you hear people saying things such as "I want to be rich but I don't want to change"? That is like saying I want to grow oranges but I only want to plant apple seeds. A very wise person once said "the best definition of insanity is continuing to do the same things and expecting the results to be different". I'd like to paraphrase that; the best definition of insanity is continuing to think the same types of thoughts and expecting your life to be different.
Try this little experiment. Tomorrow take particular care to be aware of everything you think and say. Ask yourself if those thoughts and words (which are really the expression of your thoughts) are success oriented of mediocrity oriented? If those thoughts and words became the blueprint for your future life what would that life be like?
Well that's exactly what your thoughts are; the blue print for your future life.
Everything in this world is subject to the laws of nature and that includes your life. One of the most important laws relating to your quality of life is "You are now and you will become what you habitually think". Living by this law is the first step to having everything you want in life.
