Take a trip to any jail or
prison and you will meet
hundreds of people who will tell you they are the
"victims" of their circumstances.
Travel through any big city ghetto and you'll hear
the same thing.
Visit any affluent, high-class neighborhood, talk
to
the people there and you'll discover the same
thing.
Visit a middle-class neighborhood in New York,
Toronto, London or Sydney and you will meet people
who
believe they are the result of their
circumstances,
good or bad.
They will talk about the opportunities they were
given, or the chances they were denied. They may
be
grateful for the education they were exposed to,
or
complain they were denied the education they
deserve.
One person will tell you about her wonderful
childhood and upbringing was, while another will
complain that she came from a "dysfunctional"
family.
There is no denying that income, status,
education,
upbringing, neighborhood, family and many other
situations will influence, effect and even
determine
the outcome of our lives.
But who creates the circumstances?
Your parents? Your environment? God? Destiny? Lost
in
all this analysis and the assumption of almost
every
unconscious person I have ever met is this one
very
important reality.
The effect of our thoughts ABOUT our
circumstances.
We cannot change what happened to us, but we can
change our PERCEPTION about what happened to us.
This
is the key to changing our present circumstances
and
our future.
Our minds are like a garden. We can intelligently
cultivate our garden, or we can allow it to run
wild.
If you diligently attend to your garden, it will
produce the things you cultivate.
If you don't plant specific seeds, then the
animals,
wind and other elements will cause RANDOM things
to
grow which will likely to choke out the things you
want to cultivate from your garden.
One thing is certain, *SOMETHING* WILL GROW IN
YOUR
GARDEN!
Just as a gardener must tend his or her garden,
keeping out the weeds, you must tend the garden of
your mind, weeding out the thoughts of lack,
limitation and negativity.
If you practice gardening of this kind, you will
soon
discover that you are the gardener of your soul.
You
will come to the profound revelation that you are
not
the victim of your circumstances--but the creator
of
them.
The reason is simple: Whatever you give your
attention to and focus on shapes your character,
creates your circumstances, and determines your
ultimate destiny.

What you experience in your life is directly
connected to your inner state of mind. The most
important thing you can learn about success,
prosperity and happiness is that cause (thought)
and
effect (results or experiences) are one.
But face this important fact - You don't simply
end
up in jail or the hospital, bankrupt, or alone no
more
than you simply wake up rich, successful, happy,
and
healthy. All these CIRCUMSTANCES are the RESULT of
thousands of little decisions, which are reached
as a
result of the thoughts you give your attention to.
Now, if you are like most people, this is the part
where you start to mentally make excuses and argue
with me.
Perhaps you believe that what I just said is true
for
other people, but you are quite certain that you
have
been the victim of extenuating circumstances
beyond
your control.
I know. I know. YOUR situation is different.
So just how does that work?
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Let's talk about how all
this applies to you.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
First, you must accept that on one level or
another,
you have manifested everything that is happening
in
your life. Even the horrific, nasty stuff.
I agree that you don't do it consciously. But you
do
it.
Now here's the thing . . .
You are surrounded by a data-sphere of information
that promotes negativity, fear, anxiety,
limitation,
and lack. It pummels your senses from all
directions.
It comes from your TV, radio, the Internet, your
friends, family, church and the people you work
with.
Most people are so saturated by negative
programming
that they can't even conceive a life of anything
but
struggle and complaint.
What you read, what you listen to, and the people
you
talk with have a huge effect on the person you are
and
the thoughts you have. It not only comes from the
media and other individuals but from the
government.
The doom, gloom and negativity that is perpetuated
by
the government is designed to appeal to the
programmed
fear of the masses in order to get re-elected. We
elect and re-elect these people to *save and
protect
us* from the pending doom and gloom.
If that wasn't enough, consider that the microcosm
of
our mass culture can be found in entertainment and
even sports personalities. Most of these people
are
insecure, self-centered and only interested in
their
own 15 minutes of fame.
However, they are not the problem. We are, because
we
are willing to spend countless hours and pay
billions
of dollars to watch them, mimic their lifestyles
and
even their manner of dress.
You must recognize that this data-sphere is
continually programming you 24/7, and that almost
95%
of it is fear, lack and limitation programming.
So what do you do?
If you want to reach the highest levels of
success, you have to zealously guard the input you
allow to come into your life. You must control
your
own programming, and reject the poisonous stuff
most
people are trying to feed you.
In order to focus on success, it is imperative
that
you spend more time on your own personal growth.
Each
morning and each evening before you go to bed,
spend
time on focusing on something positive.
Remember: You are the foundation from which all
your
dreams are made reality. This is the only way you
can
guarantee your success, wealth and happiness...
