Jim's Secret Thoughts

A month has passed and I bet most of you have already failed to keep your new year’s resolution. And most probably you fail every year. Did you know that it is impossible to keep a resolution? It’s true! You will never change your life in any significant way unless you change something else first.

Think about what has got you where you are now. What is the one thing which is mostly responsible for getting you into your current circumstances? Is it the economy? Is the the government? What about your relationships? Maybe they messed up your life. Or it was the hurricane or tornado which destroyed everything you had. Or perhaps you were robbed or took ill or had an accident. Which of these do you blame for your current circumstances? And although there may be some blame here if that is the way you have been thinking then you have missed the real reason.

A few years ago my own life fell apart. First it was religious beliefs which were shattered. I was faced with a situation where my honesty and trust were abused and I was hurt and my image destroyed. Soon after that I lost my well paying  job. Two systems, the religious and the social, which I relied on had let me down. Now I could have sunk in the gutter of depression and blamed everyone and everything and make myself miserable. But I am grateful that soon after I discovered the REAL REASON for my demise. And it’s the same reason why you are in the situation you are in now. And it is the same reason why you will ALWAYS FAIL at setting new year’s resolutions or any kind of goals.

What is that one REASON why you will always FAIL?

It is your thoughts! If you were thinking like a millionaire do you believe you would be where you are today? You are where you are today because you have been thinking that way. You are broke because you are thinking “I am broke.” Your are sick because you are thinking “I am sick.” You are working for minimal wages because you are thinking “That’s all I am capable of doing”. You have failed at giving up smoking because you are thinking “I can never give up smoking”. You are failing at that diet because you are thinking “I can never lose weight.”

Your thinking has brought you to where you are today. Now if those thoughts do not change then your circumstances will not change. If you want to change your circumstances, if you want to keep your resolutions then your thinking must match the outcome and results you desire. Change your thinking and you will change your life. Think like a millionaire and you will be one. Think like a healthy, slim person and you will be one. Now, what was that resolution? Start thinking you have achieved it already and you will change.
