Have you been placed under the influence of Hypnosis? Are you hypnotized? A great majority of people never strive to reach any goals in their lives because they allow their self esteem and self image to be tainted and damaged by the views of others. Have you ever stopped yourself from going after what you wanted because of the views of well-meaning family, friends or peers? Have you ever let go of a long-cherished dream because you "bought-in" to the negative beliefs of other people? If you have then you have literally been hypnotized into believing you are not good enough!
There are a myriad of sayings that people recite on a daily basis which they use to bombard the ears of their listeners. Many of them will not be new to you and you may even have fallen into the trap of using some of them yourself! "You shouldn't aspire above your station", "that's not a real job", "That's risky", "perhaps you would be better suited to something else", "you can't do that", "that's impossible", "just be satisfied with what you have" etc, etc, etc.
Our modern western society is very strange in its approach to building a better life. We are constantly bombarded with images that create desires within us. We are sold "the American dream", we are shown the lives of the rich and famous while all the time being told we are not good enough to achieve it ourselves!
Your focus is constantly being directed towards things that you are unconsciously told are impossible for you to achieve. Yet deep within you isn't there something that tells you that you would not have these dreams unless they were achievable?
No matter what any other person has achieved, regardless of how impossible it may seem, can also be achieved by you! We are all allowed to dream and we are all given dreams that we are capable of achieving. Do you really think that the All-Powerful creator of the Cosmos would give you the ability to dream and imagine a better life if he did not also give you the ability to attain it?
The problem with many of the views about attaining our dreams is in the direction of focus. Attaining our desires only seems impossible if your first point of focus is on how you are going to do it. Anything worthwhile and noteworthy that has ever been achieved was first created in the imagination of the achiever. By redirecting your focus on the completion of your goal roads will open for you where before there were only dead-ends.
It is a golden rule that you will need to take some form of action to reach your goals. However, your focus should not be on these actions steps and your attention should never be placed solely on any plans you have made to attain your desires. Your focus should always remain on the end result and the feelings that it will generate. By staying focused on the outcome you can rest assured that the Universe will show you the way.
Focusing on your dreams and imagining your life the way you want it to be is the fastest and only secure and guaranteed way to create your vision in the material world. The problem with this approach, for most of us, is a lack of self belief. Low self esteem is the biggest cause of failure on this planet.
