Winner’s Circle Network with Lou Tice – 1/4/10 – “Invent Your Future”
Today I am going to tell you an easy and reliable way to predict the future.
If you want to predict the future, if you want to know what is in store for you, take a look at your thoughts. What do you think about? What do you dwell on and picture? What do you expect and believe you can cause?
You see, it is your present thoughts that determine your future. Now I am not saying that if you imagine yourself walking on water, you’ll do it, or if you think about winning the lottery, you will. But if your thoughts are predominately pessimistic, if you expect to fail, if you believe you don’t deserve success or don’t have what it takes to have a loving relationship, then you’ll behave accordingly. Your subconscious will do what it needs to do to create a reality that confirms your thoughts.
If you are an optimist, on the other hand, and most of your thoughts are positive, if you trust yourself and others and think a lot about how good it will feel when you achieve and become what you want, chances are very good you will succeed. You will do what you need to do to make your life match your picture, your thoughts. So you see, although you can’t always control what happens in the outside world, you can control your inner one, your thoughts.
When you control your thoughts, you unleash tremendous energy and tremendous drive. When you choose to respond to the world in positive, productive ways, it is easy to predict a positive, productive future – one you create yourself, day by day.
Oh… by the way…
