Take Control Of Your Life - By: Stefan Holm

Take Control Of Your Life

Do you think that life is hell, or are you grateful for what life gives?

I meet so many people every week who are disappointed in themselves and in their lives. I always point out that the choices are free to choose what to think at the moment. This means that you determine your direction and your ability, regardless of external circumstances. You have the power within you to control your own thoughts.

Imagine here and now that you can choose what to think about life, and what it gives you. You can choose to think that life is hell, or choose gratitude for what life gives you. Depending on which view you choose, you will create completely different paths and opportunities in life. You have control over how you think.

Have you noticed that people with the same thoughts and opinions are drawn to each other? The rich are drawn to each other, as well as the poor. Even other groups as sportsmen, alcoholics, health freaks, etc., it is all like-minded people, for they have thoughts, feelings and habitual patterns that make them attracted to each other. This means that what you think and feel about yourself, creates your future.

So if you are poor and want good economy, you need to change your thoughts and feelings regarding money. Everyone that I have met who has poor economy has a very negative attitude towards money, while the wealthy can see money as something natural and never ending.

But not all the rich people had money from the beginning. But to get from poverty to wealth demanded much sweat and hard work, especially to break out of the habit patterns that exist among the poor. But everything is possible if you only choose to take responsibility for your life, with all that which it implies. You can never have an authority or a neighbor who is responsible for your thoughts and feelings, but regardless we direct much anger and frustration toward everything that is unfair. With this attitude it is guaranteed that we will remain stuck in old habits and thoughts, which in many cases restrict our lives.

Here are five tips on how to take responsibility and control over your life:

1. You are responsible for what thoughts you carry regardless of external circumstances
2. Do you choose to think about balance and success or negativity and adversity?
3. You will attract circumstances that reflect your internal thoughts and feelings
4. To change negative thoughts and feelings is probably your biggest challenge in life
5. Most give up to external circumstances, it reaffirms the old negative pattern. The key is to not let anyone or anything stop you from creating what you really want

I read an article about a poor immigrant from Lebanon, which began selling goods on a street corner in New York City. Today, he owns one of the largest jewelry store chains in the US and a number of other outlets abroad. He turned poverty to success, regardless of external circumstances. He took control over his own life.

The choice is yours. The future is in your hands.

Good Luck!
