Believe in Yourself

"Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson One of the hardest things for most people to do when things seem to be going wrong is to keep a positive state of mind and perspective. I consider myself to be a generally fortunate individual, so when I was driving down the freeway the other day to pick my daughter up after school, I was surprised and alarmed to note that how no matter how hard I pressed on the gas pedal, my car was rapidly decelerating... to the point that I had to coast over to the side of the road. After my car was towed to a garage and examined by mechanics, I discovered that the transmission in my car needed repair costing thousands of dollars. This news led me to doubt my ablity to earn as much as it looked like I would be spending this month. As I mentally calculated this situation, feeling a bit discouraged, I asked the universe to show me what was going on... and what it was that I needed to learn. I immediately got a mental picture of how my doubt of earning as much as I was about to spend was essentially me doubting myself, and that all I really every need to know is that when I believe in myself, anything is possible. This revelation gave me renewed hope, as I realized that having faith in myself is a decision I make every day, and that every day this month I would have faith in my ability to earn more than I spend. Since this decision seemed to imply I would need at least twice as much income this month, I decided that this is what would happen... more people would contact me for consultations, and more money would flow to me from other sources as well. Sure enough, twice as many people immediately began contacting me for consultations as is usually the case, and money from other sources also began flowing in. When we believe in ourselves, we experience a self-fulfilling prophecy in which all that we consider to be true becomes true. If you are thinking, "That may work just great for people who can believe in themselves, but that's not me," know that you can become a person who believes in yourself. You can exercise your self-belief ability in many ways. Here are some suggestions to get you started: Meditate and/or pray every day, Ask five friends to write down and share with you what they love most about you, Say words of appreciation and praise aloud to yourself every day, Give yourself a hug every night when you go to bed, and Say aloud to yourself three things you are most proud of that you have accomplished so far. Wishing you all the best that life and love have to offer, Cynthia Sue Larson __________________________________________________ _ You can read more articles by Cynthia Sue Larson and subscribe to her free ezine, RealityShifters News at: http://realityshifters.com
