Guiding Principle #1 for living an extraordinary life – the factor that determines how quickly and easily you’ll improve your life

You can be, do, and have anything if you are willing to change the way you see yourself. 

In “Mind Power into the 21^st Century,” John Kehoe observes that “The beginning step to a new and more successful life is absurdly easy.  You only have to pay attention to the flow of thoughts inside your mind and direct it accordingly.”

Forget the myth that change is a slow, painful process involving Herculean willpower and a level of fierce determination few mere mortals have. 

Change first your self-image.  Yes, it takes effort.  Using your mind in the right way, however, change becomes easier than you ever imagined.

All achievement begins first in thought.  All success begins first by believing you can achieve that aim by accepting at what I call the “cellular level” that you are the kind of person who can achieve and is achieving that goal.

This primary principle guides how quickly you will manifest what you want in life and how easy your journey will be.  Let’s take it bit by bit.

You alone get to determine your reality.  You get to decide how you respond to every event.  You get to create any life you desire and draw from limitless resources. 

You must be willing to do this.  Beyond being willing, the more passionately you want what you want, the more likely you are to get it.  Learn much more about this when you get to future issues of this newsletter on setting and getting goals.

Change is the only thing that will get you something different from what you have now.  You’ve heard that the definition of insanity is to continue to do the same things and to expect different results.  Remember the saying: “If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.” 

If positive change has been difficult, here’s why

You may have heard that change is difficult. Frankly, it IS, as long as you are putting conscious effort into it.  The magic is in using your unmatched subconscious mind power to alter your self-concept and to make change natural and pain-free.

See yourself in a new way.  Use the power of your imagination to create your future first in your mind.  In future issues of this newsletter discover more about how to use affirmations and visualizations to readily accept this new self-image to accelerate your progress.
