It"s Always Something - What You Say is What You Get
Every culture has its sayings, expressions that are intended to convey a bit of wisdom for life situations that occur frequently.
For example, if you try advise someone and they do not change their behavior, you might say, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.
" Then there are other phrases, a bit more modern, that I hear on a regular basis that appear to be harmless little anecdotes, but in essence are the means by which we sabotage ourselves without even realizing it.
One such phrase, which I hear all too often, is, "It's always something.
" It is normally uttered, in a tone of defeat, when something unexpected and undesirable occurs.
Let me begin by saying that it is not always something; if it were then life would be a constant stream of mishaps and we would probably say it's never anything when things went smoothly.
So when you go through life using that phrase when something happens, you are welcoming in such unwanted occurrences.
Delete is from your vocabulary and when someone else says it, reply,no it isn't.
If you can't verbally contradict what someone else says then at least think it to yourself.
This will free you of the mindset that you are a walking potential victim just waiting for something to wrong in your life and will allow you to adopt the belief that all is well and will continue to be.
The next little ditty I hear very often is, "With my luck.
" To begin with, allow me to explain that there is no such thing as luck.
There are events that occur as a result of the thoughts and beliefs that you create and send out into the universe.
Those whose lives go well are those that go through each day with the belief that their life will go well.
I am not implying that they wake up each morning and say to themselves that their life will go well, but it is a belief in progress and success rather than failure and unfortunate circumstances.
By uttering, with my luck, you are allowing life to send you, what you consider, unlucky events.
Delete that phrase from your vocabulary too and understand that when you hear someone else using it, they are making themselves into a helpless, luckless victim and welcoming in circumstances they do not want.
We must be careful what we say, because our words are powerful.
It is written, "In the beginning, there was the word".
From that word came all of creation and from your word comes what you create, so if you desire something in your life, don't say that it will never happen, because you will ensure that it never does.
If you wish to make a change in your life, don't say that you cannot do it or you will find that you cannot.
We can create what we desire by believing it will happen and thinking as though it already has.
If you want to achieve any goal you must make it a reality in your mind.
Once I decided it was time to move to a new apartment.
I thought about my requirements, what was absolutely essential.
The new apartment would be on the third or fourth floor and have a balcony.
That was absolute.
A dishwasher would also be a plus.
I looked at all the possible rentals in the area and left my name with the ones I was considering.
Just at the appropriate time I got a call from the manager of my first choice building, saying that they had an apartment on the fourth floor with a balcony and a dishwasher.
The apartment was completely refurbished and the rent was reasonable.
And here I sit.
So it is not just that I am lucky, but I expect my life to proceed seamlessly and effortlessly and it does.
That is why I always say, life is good, all is well.
