As I sit here and write my first blog of 2023, I can't help but remember how nervous I was when I published my very first post a year ago. I had never published anything before, but all I could think about was how I wanted to write.
I am so grateful for all the universe has given me over the past twelve months.
I believe what I choose to think about myself and for my life has the power to be created. I know that my beliefs can influence not only the positive outcomes I see, but the negative ones too. If I believe things are out of my grasp, or that I am not good or smart enough for them, then the likelihood is that they will be unattainable.
When I have doubt in my abilities and think I will never achieve a goal, I close myself off to opportunities that try to present themselves. These opportunities may be right in front of my face, but because I have doubts, I never see them.
I only see what I believe I am worth.
On the other hand, believing that anything I want to achieve is possible has a huge effect on attaining my goals. I'm not suggesting that all I need to do is wish for things and they appear. Hard work and commitment are also needed to attain things I desire. Having a strong belief in myself and my abilities only encourages me to try new things or take that first step towards attaining what I want. My beliefs push me to persevere, even if things don't go quite as planned the first time. I trust that the universe has my back and that if I keep an open mind and eye, opportunities will present themselves to me.
When I made the decision to start thinking more positively about what I wanted, and believing that what I wanted would come to be, the universe opened up many doors for me. I might have missed these opportunities if I had not made the conscious choice to believe in them. So I ask myself, how many other things I desire for my life are within arms' reach, and maybe because of what I think or believe, I do not see?
I have learnt to be careful in how I use my thoughts and words.
If I choose to think about not messing up or where I am going to get the money for my trip this summer, I radiate negative feelings towards my desires. Also, hoping for something to come to be in the future suggests it is not already meant to be. Instead, I choose to think in the present tense and believe that what I want is already here. Choosing my words and thoughts carefully gives me confidence that what I want is just waiting for me to see it. Whatever good vibrations I send out to the universe come back to me ten fold. That is the law of attraction!
Good things have more of a chance to appear when I am grateful, because being in a state of gratitude makes me realize how abundant I already am. It is hard to be grateful and fearful at the same time, so why would I not choose to be grateful?
Learning to visualize the outcome I want for my life and to keep positive intent in my daily visualizations, has opened doors to amazing things in my life and shown me how truly powerful my words can be.
Above all... I know that the universe hears when I speak and that my thoughts are more powerful than I will ever know.
