Think about someone you consider has been or is successful, and then ask yourself, “What do they have that I don’t have?”

Are they smarter than you? More persistent? In the right place at the right time? Better looking? Lucky? Well connected? Have a better family background? More creative? Have more money? Are more educated? Have a bigger house? Have a better car? Have fame?

This line of questioning assumes that you do feel that there is something lacking within you so that it feels that others are in some way in a better position than you.

If you feel full and you know that everything you desire is already within you and it’s simply a matter of allowing life to unfold, then this won’t apply to you, but you may find it interesting reading anyway.

If there is something that you want that someone else has and you feel that you’ll unlikely achieve this, then you’re resisting the natural flow within you and blocking yourself from receiving.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that you want that you can’t have, it’s a birth right that whatever is within your realm of desire, is within your ability to have in your NOW. I know that it may not feel that way when you see lots of obstacles in your way, but it is assured.

The paradox is that if you feel that the chances of you succeeding are low then no matter what formulas or guides for success you find or actions that you take, you won’t succeed. It’s a little trick of life that if you know that something is possible for you, then you can allow it in.

When you want something, every fibre of your being needs to be in agreement with it otherwise it simply won’t happen. It’s like getting into your car and saying to yourself, “I’m going to work now”, but then finding that you’re arm doesn’t move to stretch out and turn the key to start the engine.

I had an interesting experience recently, where I had an outing and needed to get up very early to get there on time. The alarm went off and my mind was saying, “it’s time to get up now”, but only the muscles in my right arm flickered like they were getting ready to push me out of bed, the rest of my body wasn’t responding. Without the full cooperation from the body, I wasn’t going anywhere, it was interesting to watch this and eventually I got myself into alignment to get out of bed because the outing was important to me.

So why wouldn’t you allow yourself to succeed at something that you want? It’s because of beliefs that have been established through past conditioning or childhood.

In theory it’s quite simple to say, “well I’m going to allow success”, but the reality is that it’s a gradual process of turning around and changing the old deep beliefs.

So how do you change the deep beliefs that don’t support you?

You do it through looking for things that have you feel better in this moment.

This is a KEY aspect, look for joy everywhere, the little things, the big things, anything. I know that it’s not easy when there’s so much stuff around you that triggers past pain, it can be in something a colleague says or does, something a family member or partner says or does, something you see on TV, something the government does, absolutely anything can be a trigger point.

If you start by becoming aware of when you don’t feel so good and see if you can find the trigger point, see if you can allow that you are going to be triggered (I call it getting “zinged”) and forgive yourself for being zinged. Slowly, with this awareness, you’ll get to a point where the awareness will grow to the extent that you will realise that something has happened that you would normally have reacted to (a zinger), but now you have a choice and you can respond from a place that feels better to you, rather than more pain.

A final point I want to make is that the essence of who we are at our core is the same as that which created the universe, this energy is capable of anything and it’s at our command! We generally have an inkling that we are powerful beings but we’re often fearful of letting that power out because we think that we’ll annihilate with it. For this reason, it’s a gradual process of learning to allow that power to come out so that it’s used to experience joy rather than create pain.

We usually don’t give much thought to the distinction between “wanting” and “having”, we usually just say, “this is what I want, what do I have to do to get it?” But it’s a distinction that makes all the difference in what actually shows up for us in life.

Wanting implies “NOT having” and having implies “no need for wanting”. Both are a state of “being” and as long as you remain in that state of “wanting”, life accepts this “wanting” state as your true desire and so continues to have your circumstances reflect that, i.e. still wanting!

By knowing this, if you truly want to see a change in your circumstances, you need to change your focus so that you “feel” that you already “have” what you want. Through that feeling (which is usually a feeling of joy, abundance and freedom), life will begin to reflect that in the world.

The reason being is that what we think, feel and receive is always a match, so if you behave as though you already have everything you want internally, life will match that in your external world.

The key to this is to have a good attitude no matter what happens, always look for the silver lining. Feeling good in this moment puts you in harmony with life rather than resisting it and that sets you up to receiving the richness you already have inside.

It’s not enough to consciously think something positive, if the feeling remains sour, then that’s what will be the dominant creative force within you. So to receive good things, focus on feeling good things (whatever that may be) and know that you already have it and you will succeed, GUARANTEED.

You may ask, how can this be guaranteed? Because you have already succeeded many times with the things you didn’t know you wanted. This is what happens when you feel fear, for example. When the fear becomes the dominant feeling, you receive the thing you were fearful of. Life doesn’t judge anything as good or bad so it simply gives you whatever is dominant in you.

We often think of things happening in life, in term of luck, something pleasant is “good luck”, something unpleasant is “bad luck”. But “luck” is a cop out and denial of responsibility for what shows up. Everything stems from us either consciously or unconsciously (most of the time it’s unconscious). This is not about blame or any other condemning description, it’s simply about accepting that each one of us is a creator and when we are not aware of what’s happening within us, life seems to happen to us and we “hope” we’ll be “lucky”.

The interesting thing is that in reality the power that it takes to have things show up that are unpleasant is the same power that it takes to have pleasant things show up, it’s really no different. The only distinction is that each of us has learned a mode of operating that we are comfortable with (and for a lot us that mode is one scarcity and struggle). When we make attempts to change that mode, it usually causes no ultimate change because it’s like trying to use a twig to change the direction of a fast flowing river!

So how do you start to live in a way that’s more responsible and deliberate? You do it by looking around you, no matter where you go, and say to yourself that you’re looking for things to feel good about and reasons to feel good and as you do this little by little, you begin to find things and reasons to feel good about.

As you feel good, you notice the good feelings and let the good feelings be there, you begin to let creativity in, you begin to let abundance in, you begin to let success in. Why? Because this is a fundamental principle of the universe, it comes down to the fact that everything is made up of energy that is vibrating at certain frequencies and for anything to be created it must find a match in that vibration.

So, change the way you feel and you’ll change your world!
