Why Always Me
Why always me? because you can't run from your past. How many times do we have to make the same bad decisions over and over and end up with the same results?
This is a popular saying in 12 step programs because people with addictions keep doing over and over again the negative things their addictions have them doing, while hoping for a better outcome.
Effective change is a mind set. Having this skill is something you need to develop. You will have to start with the way you think about life.
You now process your thoughts and see things in a certain way. This is where you start. Developing new skills will not be easy although it will be worth it.
If you study Metaphysics-For-Better-Living website, a good place to start is Sitemap For Life. You will learn that your thoughts control your outcome. Simply speaking it is cause and effect.
Picture this, I am a good friend and we are together. You start to hallucinate and you become really afraid. You cannot shake this fear and you are paralyzed from this fear. Now picture that I sit you down and tell you that these are not hallucination's but they are visions. You are special and you can see things that others cannot see. You calm down and are at peace with this new revelation. You really do feel special, you are calm.
Same hallucination different outcome based on what you believe. We are quick to label a situation and when we do, we can no longer see a better outcome. The idea is to look at something digest it and ask yourself what is the best solution here.
I am a Science of Mind minister and I usually refer to this because this is where my spiritual beliefs started. Ernest Holmes the founder of Science of Mind is one of my mentors.
WHAT WE WILL ATTRACT
"We will always attract to us, in our lives and conditions, according to our thought. Things are but outer manifestations of inner mental concepts. Thought is not only power; it is also the form of all things. The conditions that we attract will correspond exactly to our mental pictures. It is quite necessary, then, that www.cslasheville.org 17 the successful business man should keep his mind on thoughts of happiness, which produce cheerfulness instead of depression; he should radiate joy, and should be filled with faith, hope and expectancy. These cheerful, hopeful attitudes of mind are indispensable to the one who really wants to do things in life. Put every negative thought out of your mind once and for all. Declare your freedom. Know that no matter what others may say, think or do, you are a success, now, and nothing can hinder you from accomplishing your good. All the Power of the Universe is with you; feel it, know it, and then act as though it were true. This mental attitude alone will draw people and things to you. Begin to blot out, one by one, all false beliefs, all idea that man is limited or poor or miserable. Use that wonderful power of choice that God has given to you. Refuse to think of failure or to doubt your own power. See only what you wish to experience, and look at nothing else. No matter how many times the old thought returns, destroy it by knowing that it has no power over you; look it squarely in the face and tell it to go; it does not belong to you, and you must know and stick to it that you are now free. Rise up in all the faith of one who knows what he is dealing with, and declare that you are one with Infinite Mind. Know' that you cannot get away from this One Mind; that wherever you may go, there, right beside you, waiting to be used, is all the power there is in the whole universe. When you realize this you will know that in union with this, the only power, you." Ernest Homes Creative Mind.
Why always me?
Why not you?
Having good people in your life to support you is a major plus. That is why 12 step programs exist. If you don't have this now, I suggest this be the first thing you change. As we grow we have to except that everyone around us may not. It is okay to let friends go and relace them with others that are there for your higher good.
This next passage has been taken from the Science of Mind text:
"It has truly been said that Mind is a mirror. If we could realize how completely this law works, no doubt we would greatly alter our way of thinking. It is impossible to create even the slightest thought without causing some reflex action in Mind; and the deeper the emotion the deeper will be the penetration of thought and the more complete will be the reaction. Thought is the most subtle of all the forces we know anything about, and few understand what a tremendous power has, either for good or for bad. Learning how to control one's thought means knowing how to control one's body and destiny. "
Just like the passage above stated, You cannot change if you are using the same mind set that got you to where you are now. This is called the great merry go round of life. If you want off, Change your thinking.
A Science of Mind affirmation for you.
