Is It REALLY Possible to Change Our Thinking and Realize Our Heart's Desire?

Because I have written and talked about the fact that by changing our thinking we can change our lives – and also realize our heart’s desire – I am often asked the big question: Is it really possible to do that? The answer is yes. It is absolutely true.

But how to get us from that statement to changing our lives for the better and even realizing our heart’s desire requires some active participation on our part. Contrary to what you might have heard or read, it is not as simple as deciding what we want, making some random positive statements and expecting our good to be zapped on us. Life just doesn’t work like that.

In order to be successful, we must look at some of life’s basic truths and understand what is meant by Universal law and how it works. The first step in the process is accepting the reality that the events and situations of our lives are pretty much created by us, and are determined by every thought we’ve ever had, as well as our feelings and all our actions. This combination of thoughts, feelings and actions includes how we feel about ourselves. The image we have of ourselves, whether negative or positive, directly affects our ability to create and manifest our good. If we hold a positive image, our ability to manifest will be strong. If it is negative, our ability will be weak.

Whatever we think and feel about our lives and ourselves today is basically the foundation for what events will show up in our lives tomorrow, next week and in the future.

This is where Universal law comes in: As our thoughts and feelings meld with the universal life force-energy, which is in us and everything in the universe, the Law simply reflects back the fullness of what we are. Unless we change our thoughts and feelings, whatever we’ve been manifesting in our lives will just continue to show up.

While that may sound like a bummer, consider the good news. If we are surrounded by lack and scarcity it is time for us to get to work and change our thoughts and actions so that the core of us is not deprived and negative. This is the way to manifest a better quality of life. We hold the power to embrace new thoughts and feelings at any time we choose and to create the quality of life and future we desire.

Second, we have to accept total responsibility for our lives. Every event, situation in our lives is a reflection of who we are. Once we can accept this fact we reach a level of spiritual maturity that allows us to gain mastery of our lives. Many of us already recognize that there are no accidents in life; there is only weak or strong energy.

The third step is to be able to accept whatever we desire in our lives at a mental, physical, emotional and spiritual level. This means whatever we desire must resonate with the core of our being as something right for us. In this state of alignment, we are anchored to our desire and can imagine touching, tasting, feeling and accepting it as already manifested in our lives. When we reach that stage, the desire is already a part of our lives and only awaits manifestation in this dimension.

The truth is that the universal life force-energy that is within you, me and everything in the universe is totally and absolutely unbiased. Whatever we believe about ourselves and our lives will be delivered to us. It is entirely up to us. By simply changing our thoughts, we can control whether the order we place will arrive at our door as continued scarcity and an undesired quality of life—or as an abundant life filled with meaningful and joyous experiences.

My daily affirmation: I am one with all the love, wisdom, harmony, balance, wholeness, abundance in the universe. God-Good is everywhere present and all that I desire that is for my highest and best good and the good of others now manifests in my life. I release this statement with thanksgiving to Universal Law, which acts upon it at once peacefully, joyously, harmoniously with good for all concerned. And so it is!
