The American Dream!!

After years of using affirmations, positive thinking and goal setting and finding it to NOT WORK, I want to share this insight with you all.

The average American spends over $1400 a year on self development stuff.
I read tarot cards and design them for a living and many of my clients have come to me wanting to be famous, rich etc.
I used to teach courses in Results, positive thinking and goal setting and people paid on average £2000 a year to help them reach their goals.

WHY AFFIRMATIONS DO NOT WORK ALONE
When you ask most people what they want, only about 3% know. So you may well affirm goals and affirmations such as 'I am rich', 'I am happy' 'I am free of addiction' etc. and find after years of practise they do not work. Why?
'THE HAND WILL NOT REACH FOR WHAT THE HEART DOES NOT LONG FOR'.

If I could come to your homes and shout that out, I would say again on a megaphone
'THE HAND WILL NOT REACH FOR WHAT THE HEART DOES NOT LONG FOR'.
So what do I mean? I mean not only is it vitally important for us to know what we want, it is vitally important for us to know what our hearts desires are.

It takes 100% desire to reach your goals. This takes 100% of energy.
Imagine building a fire and using only 50% energy, how long will it burn? How hot will it be?

When teaching the Results and Manifesting Courses, I had many students with a similar goal. They wanted to be wealthy enough to lead a life style of luxury. This may not be your heart's desire or one of them but I use it as an example only. So we sat and created their affirmations together.
I asked 'Tom' How much do you desire this result, it is not enough to just visualise it. He said, 100% what do you think it will take to achieve it? I told him about an hours practise a day and around 3 more years of that. He answered, oh really? So much? I have spent years already wanting to be rich.
What do you think his motivation was in a scale of 1-100? I'd say about 35%.
I asked the same question to the other students with similar goals. I increased the time to 2 and a half hours a day for 5 years and finally one of them responded, 'Is that all'? Guess who got their goal and within 2 years?

'THE HAND WILL NOT REACH FOR WHAT THE HEART DOES NOT LONG FOR'.
Find out what it is your heart truly wants and focus on that alone.
If in the above example it is to be wealthy, but you're not that interested in money, focus not on the money but on the result it will get you. For example, I want a new home for me and my family/friends.
You may need money but that is not the result, the result is the home.
For some it may not even be the home but a feeling of 'being at home'and sharing it with loved ones. Find your bottom line, your true heart's longing.

You can take a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. Well I say you can, but only if its thirsty enough!

Find out how much you really want that and if you are prepared to do all that it takes to achieve that and put in all the time and effort you may need to reach that goal. Do this with all the things you think you want and you will find out what it is you truly want.
Affirm that with positive thinking and ACTION and you will get it.
