If Its To Be... Its Up To Me

Several years ago I began my journey with self development by listening to Cd's, going to seminars and reading books. These ideas that the masters were teaching me seemed so easy to do, but something got in my way...ME. Although I heard everything they were saying I just couldn't get myself to practice these techniques. What was the problem? I had to sit down and take a hard look at the reason and I finally found it.

The reason was the environment that I was living in. I was immersed in my own little world of negativity and I allowed circumstances to control me instead of me taking control. It is so easy to allow outside influences to affect you and stop you from growing as a person. I'm sure we have all been there with the stories that we create about the situations we find ourselves in. I hate my job, not making enough money, no one's giving me a chance to move up and we end up saying, " life sucks." Of course it is hard to come out of that thinking because you are so wrapped up in it and you begin to believe everything you are thinking.

So how did I finally make the connection that it was my environment? I joined an amazing company called Isagenix and changed my environment to a positive one. I surrounded myself with people that told me I could do anything I wanted to if I only did one thing. That one thing was to believe in myself. Once I started believing in ME then the self development really kicked in. I then followed the techniques by saying affirmations daily, created a vision board, and didn't listen to the naysayers.

Belief is an amazing thing because it actually works both ways. If you believe you can't do something you are right. At the same time, if you believe you CAN do something then you are also correct. So why waste time in believing anything but positive thoughts? Anyone can do anything they want if they put their minds to it. The more belief you have the more those negative thoughts just fall away and are not even a factor at all.  Change your thinking and your world will change like you cannot believe...or can you? Remember, If its to be...it is up to me!!
