How to influence the direction of your future

Here we go….

I hate to admit it, but this is one of the most difficult articles I had to write. It is supposed to be my first article in 2021. Most of you might be wondering why I find it difficult to write this article, but it’s because  for the first time I didn’t trust myself. I got myself entangled with toxicity for the most part of 2020. My belly drove me to a job that was so toxic that I nearly lost myself. It is true that “You are an average of the people you associate yourself with.” What more if you are working under a “toxic boss”? Yes I said a “boss” because that’s what she is. She’s not a manager. That’s all I’m going to say now, because fortunately I managed to move away from that “toxic environment “. I am a firm believer that sometimes the solution to a problem is not to participate in it. That is why I chose to walk away..

With all that said, it is true that we are the thoughts we think. What you think, and how you feel create your state of being. It sounds so easy that one morning one can just wake up and change the thoughts we think. Get it from me, it’s not that easy…

I remember seeing no way out, the sad Sunday afternoons, the lonely nights and early morning doing work for a woman who never appreciates anything. I couldn’t see a way out. I thought of quitting many times, but I thought of my bills. I will sit in meetings with her and my emotions will be triggered by her negative rhetoric. I was always in a state of fear and panic. Just the mention of her name caused me stress. 

Coming back to the topic of the day, thoughts that you think when magnetized, attract corresponding thoughts. I was spiraling in those emotions and feelings that I created more of the corresponding ones.

The way we think has some effect on our lives. Our thoughts in a way create our reality. They are intimately connected to our future. Our brain is the record of the past of all we’ve learned and experienced throughout our life.

Most people spend the majority of their life wondering why they never arrive at the vision of their future.  It is because of some experience they had in the past. They live their life based on past memories. Feelings and emotions are the end product of the past. You can remember experiences better because you remember how they felt. Once you feel an emotion, you create a long term memory. It is for that reason that you have to be defined by the vision of the future instead of the memory of the past.

How many people have a clear vision of their future? Everyday we wake up thinking the same thoughts, making the same choices, demonstrating the same behaviors, reproducing the same experiences, that produces the same emotions and we are secretly expecting our life to change. 90% of the thoughts we think are somehow the same thoughts as the day before. The same thoughts always lead to the same choices. The same choices always lead to the same behaviors. The same behaviors create the same experiences. The same experiences produce the same emotions, and those emotions drive the same thoughts.

Our thinking and actions create our personality , and our personality creates our personal reality. So if you want to have a better future, stop, pause, and ask yourself “what am I thinking and how does it make me feel?” If you’ve been thinking thoughts that don’t support your future, then replace them with thoughts that support the future you want.

Is it easy? NO. Not at all, but it’s doable. It needs daily practice. You have to consistently practice for 90 days or more until you see a change.

Be aware of your thoughts, replace them with those that support your future, and start to experience abundance in every area of your life.

Good luck in creating your new future.
