Stop telling the story of what-is!

Many of us tend to have dreams and a vision of where we would love to go, what we would love to be, do or have. Some of us believe those dreams to be realistic and achievable and there are some of us who believe that they are out of reach. The thing that all dreams have in common is that they start with the imagination.

As Albert Einstein said, ‘Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions’.

We feed our imagination with our thoughts, our visions and our words. BUT…..

The thing is, we tend to feed our imagination around our current ‘reality’, more than our desired vision and we do this, for the most part, unconsciously.

So, let’s look at your current ‘reality’. The reason I am putting the word reality in inverted commas, is our reality is only something we perceive. It’s our reality, nobody else’s. We have created it by our imagination and our thoughts and our words. We have created it with our energy.

How many times have we heard people start a Monday morning dreading the day ahead and then it all starts to go wrong, usually even before they’ve left their home! And as they focus their energy on what is going wrong, they get more of what is going wrong and so the cycle begins…

How many times have you or someone you know received a parking ticket and then they focus their angry thoughts and irritation on the unjust meting out of this parking ticket, only to get another one a few days later! This is no coincidence – this is a direct result of the picture you are painting with your thoughts, vision, actions and words.

And the big question of money – or for a lot of people the lack of it. How many times have you or someone you know, dreaded bills coming through the letterbox through lack of funds, only to have even more bills or other ‘surprise’ things that you have had to pay out for? And that pattern just keeps happening? Again, this is no coincidence, but a result of your focus on the ‘lack’ of money. When you are continuing to have a reality that you don’t like or want, it is because you continue to focus on that reality and the more you focus on that reality, the more of it you will get.

Even the old saying that ‘things happen in 3’s’ reinforces a reality. Of course there’s a likelihood of three things happening – when one thing happens, you’re waiting for the other two!!

You continue to tell, see and reinforce the same story. The story of what-is, instead of the story of what-if?

So, stop doing it!

Your focus, your imagination has to be aimed directly on what is you DO want – not on what you DON’T want or you will continue getting the same, over and over again.

So what reality do you want to create? Let your imagination run riot. Be creative. You can achieve whatever you want to in life but you have to believe in the possibility of it. You have to reinforce the picture with your consistent thought, actions and words that are in alignment with the vision you want to create.

 

Start telling the story of your life the way you want it, ‘it is the preview of (your) life’s coming attractions.’

Your life is waiting for you.

P.S. If you want to see how a real life vision and dream was created, watch this very short YouTube clip of how Jim Carrey created the life he has now. Inspiring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPU5bjzLZX0
