You Can Heal Your Life, If You Want

There are two ways to look at life. You can say that you have no control and that you are who you are, you are what you are, and there is nothing you can do about it. The other way is that life is a journey and nothing is fixed. Everything changes and because of this, you can heal your life, if you want.

Now I understand that you may be thinking that a person would have to be crazy to not want to heal their life. You are right. They would, however, there is a part of you that does not want to change and will fight you. If you are not aware of this, or if you are not prepared for it, then you have little chance to succeed.

What’s to stop me?

The ego is that part of you that, in part, wants to protect you. The unknown is a dangerous place. What if the change you bring about is something you don’t know how to handle? Better to just stay where you are. At least you know how to handle that. Do you see how easy it is to not want to change?

How does it work?

Now I know you are wondering how you can heal your life, what are the steps that you need to take. There are several, but there is one more important than any other. That step is you understand that your mind is constantly trying to bring into reality what you think. If you think you are a terrible person who has to chance of ever being successful, your mind will work overtime to deliver that concept into your life.

I had this brought up to me in my own life just recently. I was thinking in a negative way about something and was having a terrible time in regard to this subject. As I say in meditation one day, I realized that I was thinking in this negative fashion and my life was turning into   that exact thing. As soon as I started thinking differently, my life changed as well.

What we think has such a strong influence on our lives! As we think about things, whether positively or negatively, our minds work to create that reality. As this happens we see the opportunities that life brings us to fulfill more of this reality. We attract into our lives the very thing we think about.

What Else?

I said that there is more, and there is. Once you start to think in different ways, you need to establish some goals and work toward them. A dream will never be anything more than a dream unless you make it a goal with a deadline and work toward it. The good part about this is that as your mind begins to take what you think and try to make it reality, it will look for goals and find ways to make then into reality. The process of setting goals and time frames becomes much easier and this happens.

There is a excellent series of videos that I highly suggest you watch. They are based on Louise Hay’s book, “You Can Heal Your Life“.

I suggest you watch them. Listen to what the various people in the video have to say about their lives and how changing their thinking changed their lives. They each found that you can heal your life, if you want to, but you have to want to enough to work at it.

P.S. To see the rest of the series, go to YouTube and search for “YouCanHealYourLife.”
