last week I read a quote in the book “The Secret” that inspired me in particular, as it reinforced a challenge I have been addressing for the past few months.

It was this quote from James Ray:

“Most people look at their current state of affairs and they say “this is who I am”. That is not who you are. That is who you were. Let’s say for instance that you don’t have enough money in your bank account, or you don’t have the relationship that you want, or your health and fitness aren’t up to par. That is not who you are; that is the residual outcome of your past thoughts and actions. So we’re constantly living in this residual, if you will, of the thoughts and actions we have taken in the past. When you look at your current state of affairs and define yourself by that, then you doom yourself to have nothing more than the same in the future”.

You might primarily focus on your current reality as well, thinking: “How can I ever change this? I hardly have any money, live in a small apartment and have no idea how to get ahead in life. How can I expect to become really wealthy?”
However, our current circumstances have nothing to do with what we can become and in fact are becoming! It is crucial to know that in order to change our circumstances and manifest our goals, we must constantly focus on our future instead of focusing on our current situation. So don’t waste your energy and thoughts on worrying about any challenges you are dealing with right now. Instead, focus your energy and time on visualizing yourself in your future life. And we need to visualize with so much passion and belief, that we really feel as if we have already achieved our dreams. This is what will attract these dreams into your life. You might have heard the saying “If you know the WHY, the HOW will follow!”

Have a powerful week!
