What if I were to tell you that you can change that. You can totally change that and you can do it actually quite simply--and absolutely free. Yep--not a single red cent, just some serious effort and a serious desire and willingness to work on the one thing you DO have control over, your thoughts and your belief system.
Have you heard of the legend of the Phoenix? For those who haven't, here is a brief (very brief) introduction to this incredibly powerful imagery. In Greek Mythology, the Phoenix was a beautiful and regal bird which lived very long. When the Phoenix felt it was near to the time of its death, it would build a funeral pyre and burst into flames. In its place, a young, powerful, and brand new bird would be born. Isn't that an amazingly powerful image to hold? Being reborn from the ashes of one's old life?
Well, you and I, we are like that legendary Phoenix. At any time, we have the power to completely deconstruct our old lives--our old selves, and be reborn as the person we want to be. The person we KNOW we really are deep down. The key is, we have to be willing to build that funeral pyre and completely destroy those old thoughts and beliefs. Pretty cool, right? Sounds simple enough so far.
Unfortunately, while it sounds incredibly simple--change around a few beliefs and poof, you become who and what you desire most in this world--it really does require some work on your part. Beliefs are tricky little things. They often hide so deeply within your subconscious mind that you may not even be AWARE that you hold that belief. While your conscious mind is busy working on affirmations and holding positive thoughts as much as possible; your subconscious is busy whispering like that devil on your shoulder--"Are you CRAZY?! You can't do that! Remember when you tried that thing five years ago? That didn't work out so well now did it you idiot! You must be ignorant to even think that you can ever be rich, thin, happy (fill in the blanks with whatever you've been trying to manifest)." And there you go. All the positive affirmations in the world; all the happy thoughts you could possibly muster..well they just can't do battle very well with an insidious little voice sweeping them away with every breath you take.
So, step one is not creating goals or writing positive affirmations, or just starting to make the changes you think you "should". Step one is working on the inside. It is on clearing away any and all negativity that is lying dormant in your subconscious. Sure goals are important. Believing you can do something (faith) is absolutely crucial as well. But again, all the faith and goals in the world will do you absolutely no good until you change what's lurking in the corridors and dark alleys of your mind. Phew...that's a lot for one day isn't it?! More on this later. For now just hold that image of the Phoenix in your mind. Put your own face on the face of that brilliant, regal bird. Know that, just as the Phoenix can be reborn when it realizes it is ready to be, so too can you. Science has proven it--all the cells of our bodies regenerate completely in time. Even neuroscience is beginning to catch up with the reality that has been posited for years--your brain is even moldable your entire life (neuroplasticity). Now it's time for you to catch up with science and quantum physics.
Because YOU are a PHOENIX!!!
