Are you willing to improve the way you think, even when it is difficult?
Following is one of my all-time favorite quotes:
The significant problems we face in life cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. ~ Albert Einstein
Our current circumstances are a direct result of our past thinking. That may be a good or not so good thing, depending on how you view your circumstances.
If you want to improve anything about your financial picture, the only thing that really needs to change is you. Your improved circumstances will be a natural outgrowth of your improved thinking habits.
Have you fine tuned your goal statement? If so, then read it daily. Read it out loud. By doing so, you are training your subconscious mind to believe it is already the truth. Your objective is to feel the thrill as though it has already happened and when you do, you have turned it over to your subconscious mind!
Once that is accomplished, listen closely to any thought that comes into your mind. It might be;
- make a telephone call
- turn on the television
- turn off the television
Most of the time it will be as subtle as any old thought that comes to your mind. You will tend to think it was your own idea, because it comes so quietly and imperceptibly.
This is voice of inspiration.
Pay attention, and obey. If you get an idea and you have already turned your goal over to your subconscious mind AND you have committed it to paper, the idea is he voice of inspiration leading you to the right people, product, circumstances, or whatever you need to accomplish your dream. Sometimes it comes right away..sometimes it comes days later. And sometimes it leads you to a place where it will need to give you further instructions. Eventually, it happens, so long as you do not throw it all away with skepticism. This takes uncommon mental discipline, but he who learns this will succeed at anything he sets his mind to.
If you are an investor, with thousands upon thousands of stocks to choose from in the stock market, wouldn't inspiration could be a useful final tool in helping you confirm or reject a company which has passed your technical analysis?
Never hit 'send request' until you have your goals clearly defined, written down PROPERLY, and feel it in your gut that this particular opportunity is part of the solution provided to you by that 'inner voice.'
Trust it. It will never steer you wrong. It is more reliable than the highest paid financial adviser in the world!

Thanks for this share. I agree that the thinking of an individual has a deep impact on his activities and behavior. To gain success in the business, it is very important to ameliorate the thinking mechanism. It is very important to see things in new light and as you have mention let the “voice of inspiration” take the charge.
Hi Rachel .Thanks for the share . The quote shared by you is exhilarating in true sense . I agree that what we face is life is in a way a reflection of what we think .This share of yours can indeed help me incorporate different ways to change my thinking as well when required . Would like to add that this change is not at all easy because patience is a virtue that too many of us simply don’t have . Loved your share .

Hey Rachel
I agree that improving the way one thinks is very important for a better life. I once read somewhere “I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.” Most of our problems we create in our mind. One should always listen to the inner voice and try and maintain a balance between heart and mind.
Hi Rachel,
I enjoyed reading your post.
Your suggestion to follow our intuition, by listening to our thoughts and turn on or off the TV or make a call is great.
Sometimes I go a different way to the planned destination or I go somewhere different than I had planned to and it usually turns out that there was a reason for me doing that, even if I didn’t know it at the time.
Thank you so much for sharing this!

Hey Rachel,
Loved it when you said … “Our current circumstances are a direct result of our past thinking.” I’m not English but I have to say … You’re Spot On!
By changing our way of thinking and by listening and acting upon our “intuitive voice” then we can attract and accomplish some incredible things.
Thanks so much for sharing,

Great words Rachel
Our inner voice is certainly the best guide. We need to keep it active and creative to keep an inspiring and meaningful life. It is amazing how we can shift our mindset and become more focused on achieving our goals and become more focused on the positive things in our experience.
Great post Rachel.

Rachel,
I think it takes some skill to listen to the “inner voice.” It wasn’t until I married my intuitive and spiritually minded wife that I only began to know there was an inner voice that needed heeding. I am grateful to her for that education. If someone has difficulty hearing the inner voice there are plenty of spiritual coaches around who could help.

Great post Rachel. I think in the ever increasing busy busy life we lead we have less time to actually think and ponder on what we think.So often we are on automatic pilot and just allow our minds to run in any direction on any random thought that presents itself. Suddenly we find ourselves acting out of these random thoughts and are not always happy with the outcome. Yes we do need to take the time to train our thoughts if we want to empower and have foscus in our lives. Do things on purpose and intentionally.
Love the quote from Einstein.
Hey Rachael,
This is a very important lesson and the fact that you mentioned about the inner voice is one thing we have to believe that it is leading us to take appropriate action towards what we are aiming for !
Thank you for this post, Rachael.
Cheers

I think it is reasonable to say that the brain is the source of power and the the way you think is the channel of that power. Anyone who wants to live a better life should improve their mentality. People like me though find it hard to deal with the changes. do you have other advice?
Great post, thanks!

Excellent advice Rachael – especially your point about listening to our intuitive voice. I’ve learned over the years to pay attention to those little nudges and whispers in the wee hours of the morning before I fully awake … there are wonderous messages to help us on our journey if only we’ll take the time to listen.

These suggestions can help in every aspect of one’s life. Making them a part of your every day life may take some time and effort, but I agree that it is well worth doing.
Every failure is occurrence of something we did or the way we think about things in the past. Once you face a failure, all you need to do is to think what you did in the past that leads to failure. Identification of what went wrong is improved thinking, and an ability to correct your mistake for the next time is positive thinking. I hope you will keep sharing these articles!!
I agree on this, thank you for sharing this great post. We should really improve our way of thinking.

I like the Einstein quote. Many of our problems are, one way or another, self created. That might seem a bit saddening, but the upside is that the best solutions are also often self created too. So, we always hold the key to getting ourselves out of any problem, so long as we give ourselves the time and focus on thinking on a new / different / higher / level.
I’ve been listening to a lesson on thinking by Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey over the last couple of days, so I think it’s interesting that I’m coming across this post today.
You know, now that I think about it, I have been listening to my intuition about what I need to be doing more in the last couple of weeks since I started trying to overcome my procrastination habit and been writing a weekly to do list based on the goals that I want to achieve. And the more I focus on doing those things that come to me through “inspiration”, the more I feel I’m on the right track for where I want to go and who I want to be. I still feel I have a long way to go, but at least I’m moving in the right direction.
Thanks for the great post, Rachel!

Rachel,Your on point with making it clear to trust your thoughts. This is dealing with faith, believing in something that doesn\’t exist yet living at though it does now. Keeping your thoughts focused and creating your own world of yes it can be done and then seeing it, which is visualization. Then believe and act as though it has been accomplished. Yet, it takes time to train your brain this way of a real empowering lifestyle. Yet, it does work and I am living proof.Rachel, your so inspirational and this article need to be seen by all. No matter what situation your in. Take a clear understanding you made it this way. Then accept that you can and will change it just by your belief and actions to move things they way you wrote it down. You must speak it into being. Live as though you have achieved each milestone to get it done.This is all so powerful and as time goes by it becomes a way of life. Hey, this is a lifetime journey and why not have joy and unlimited thoughts involved. Why wait another minute living in dark areas of your thoughts. Negative bad feelings that only lead to repeating those situations you do not like. Hey, it is up to you to change and no one else can do anything except edify and support your choices.Rachel, I am empowered with so much faith and make it a mission to share it while remaining humbled. You are a great visionary in our industry and one person who I am honored to call a friend.I do look so much with hunger for your next amazing article. Sure to help all of us realize just how powerful our thoughts and actions are. It is up to each to mold their days and make an adventurous story to share for inspirational results.
Interesting post on a subject I love “how we think”! It’s funny how we have one of the most powerful tools that all of us possess which is our thoughts & mind. You can achieve your goals just by putting your mind to it no matter what it is you’re trying to accomplish. It’s our years of conditioning from our family, society, etc that sometimes will stop us from accomplishing the simplest goal. I know I personally have to read my goals everyday so that I continue to reinforce my desired outcome into my subconscious mind as you stated in your post. Thank you Rachel for your post.
