Many people have learned how to tap into their intuition purposefully, and just as many are not even aware it exists in them. While some people will say, I had a gut feeling about that or I just knew what to do, others will totally discount any thoughts or feelings or instincts they can’t put a trace on. They can’t accept the unexplainable and they don’t follow any gut feelings even when they pop up. They suppress the thoughts, thereby weakening the power of intuition in their lives.
Your mind is powerful, possibly the most powerful tool on the planet. It works consciously to allow you to think and act, and it operates unconsciously to run your entire body. It was a human mind that created computers, and we know how amazing they are. However, there is something that can be almost as powerful as the mind and that is the intuition, that part of you that operates primarily in the unconscious mind. Actually, we can’t even explain where intuition derives from—the conscious, sub-conscious or unconscious mind—or even the mind at all! Perhaps it’s an energy that exists just outside our awareness that springs from the Universal mind.
Allowing is like trusting. Trust that you’ve done all you can and turn it over to higher power or the universe or whatever works for you. We can only do so much, and then we have to let go and trust. Like the trapeze artist letting go and flying free floating for a few seconds. Like the seeds you plant in the ground knowing that tomato plants and ultimately tomatoes will grow. Get out of your own way and allow the LOA to work in your life, bringing you all you desire.
A primary component of the LOA that goes beyond where you place the focus in your thoughts, words, and actions is “allowing.” Abraham, channeled by Esther Hicks, often talks about allowing or letting go. This is akin to saying your prayers at night and going to sleep “knowing” all is well and your prayers are being answered. If it doesn’t come about right away, keep monitoring your thoughts, words, and actions, which have an old habit of worrying or complaining…. “nothing’s happening.”
Great things work when all the energies are aligned in pursuit of your goal. When you harbor thoughts of doubt or fear, such as “I can’t see how this is ever going to work,” you are getting in your own way and stopping the LOA from bringing you results. When you speak words of negativity and lack, such as “I don’t have enough money to do that,” you are getting in your own way and not allowing the LOA to do its work. And when you take actions that are counterproductive to your commitments, such as eating foods not on your diet plan, you are getting in your own way.
Have you ever heard someone tell you to get out of your own way? Did you look at them with a quizzical expression? It’s difficult to imagine that we would get in the way of our own goals and success, but it’s more common than you can imagine. And the more we protest that we are not in our own way, the more we are. If you want to attract people, events, and tangible objects into your life, you need to align your thoughts, words, and actions for success. The Law of Attraction (LOA) states that what we focus on we attract to us, therefore when your thoughts, words, and actions are focused on your goals, you create an unstoppable energy that propels all that you desire to you. Be unstoppable…Get out of your own way!!
A successful life begins with a success mindset, and that begins with your thoughts—as well as the words you speak primarily to yourself and also what you say to others. Some days you may wake up thinking that you’re never going to reach your goal, the economy is bad, you don’t have enough skills or time or money. Or you complain to someone that you’ve done so much and are still not seeing results. Or maybe you’ve done something you considered foolish and beat yourself up for it, calling yourself “stupid” or “loser” or even worse. Take control of your thoughts and you’ll see your life changing before your eyes.
When your thoughts don’t align with your actions, you’re driving with your foot on the gas and the brake at the same time. Your goals and actions are the gas, while the self-defeating thoughts and words are the brakes. Your thoughts and words are more powerful than the actions you take in pursuit of your goals. They create an energy that either supports or inhibits your success and speak more loudly and have more impact than anything you do in your outer world.
Observe your beliefs by listening to your thoughts and words and trying to align the two. Write down the ones that don’t serve you well. Learn other ways to change your thoughts or words to empower your beliefs. The truth is that if you believe you will have success and reach higher limits, you will. Remember, whatever you believe, is what is your truth. So why not believe in yourself and your ability to have all the success and happiness you deserve?
Most people, when they think of success, generally envision setting a goal and doing certain activities to achieve that goal. In other words, a series of external actions that will lead them to success. However, success does not always result directly from performing certain actions, and when it doesn’t, we may be puzzled as to why we didn’t achieve the goal. Did we do something wrong? Should we have taken different actions? Was the goal too far fetched?
