At all times, you are driven by one thing…and one thing only: Your thoughts.

They make up your belief system, your preferences, your feelings on all matters.  Your thoughts literally create your reality and how you experience the world through your five senses. If you wish for a better-feeling experience, an improved life, then you must focus your attention on the world inside your mind.

To get anywhere, you must face the direction you wish to go.  If you face forward, you will go forward. If you are looking back, you will go back where you came from. If you are looking at what is negative, you will move towards more negative experiences. If you are facing something beautiful, you’ll be brought validation of a beautiful world.

No matter what is going on in the external world, take note of what is going on inside: 

1. What thoughts are you thinking?
2. What is it you are focused upon?
3. Do you feel good or bad?

The answers to these questions will determine which direction you move from here on out and will literally create your experience in the future.  If you are thinking thoughts of gratitude, you will arrive tomorrow with plenty to appreciate. If you are focused upon what is missing, you will be reminded of what is missing from your life.  If you feel good, you will see the good. And if you feel badly, you will see the bad and be brought more things that make you feel badly. 

No action can undermine the powerful effects of your thoughts.  Your actions will continually line up with the thoughts you are focused upon and the feelings you are experiencing as a result of those thoughts.

Consider these questions:

1. What is it that you want to feel?
2. What direction do you want to go?
3. What do you wish to experience?

Next, reflect on thoughts that align with your answers.  If you wish to feel happy, what can you be happy for right now? Think about those things. Embrace that feeling, the emotional charge that coincides with it. Do you want a new job or a larger home? Appreciate the job and home you have right now. Do you wish to experience real, true love with a partner? Feel that love inside of you, give it away to those that cross your path, and watch as it is returned in ways you never imagined possible.

Your life experience is limited only by your imagination and the thoughts you allow yourself to spend time and energy on. So, go on… think about how delicious life is, how amazing you are, and how abundant you feel. Hold on to that belief, those feelings, and watch as life unfolds before you in miraculous ways that match your newly aligned vibration and visions. And remember, in any moment should you realize that what you are creating is no longer serving you, you can turn away and face a new direction and begin moving that way.
