“Our
thoughts create our reality. Where we put our focus is the direction we tend to
go.”

It
sounds easy. Just focus on something you want to have or want to achieve in
your life, and then attract that object or goal to yourself. It’s almost like
the universe conspires to help you get what you asked for. Consider what
actor/comedian Jim
Carrey did at the start of his career. He reportedly wrote himself a check
for $15 million and kept that intention in his mind as he built his career
until he actually did have that much money (and then some) in his bank account.
Hypnosis Motivation Institute founder John Kappas,Ph.D., stated that we begin to write our individualized subconscious
mental script from a very young age. Furthermore, we will behave and even think in
ways that are consistent with that script even when it doesn’t facilitate
achievement of our personal goals. It wants (and tries) to help you
realize your goals whether they are great or small, beneficial or detrimental
to your well-being. After all, you
are the one who created that script, right?
So
what happens when you muse about something negative just for a split-second and
that is what manifests in your life? Remember,
the subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between your passing thought
about the frequency of rear-end car crashes and your true desire to have a safe
journey when an SUV smashes into your new car two seconds later. You can think,
I didn’t mean it! But it’s too late:
your subconscious mind has already sent that thought out and the universe has
replied.
As
the examples above demonstrated, your subconscious mind will put a specific
mental script into action as soon as the opportunity arrives for you to enact
it, so you can “get” what your SCM thinks you want (or wanted). Therefore, it
is important to always be mindful of what you are thinking about or telling
yourself, because your subconscious mind is paying attention to every word
(thought) in the subconscious mental script you created.
