Your Keys to Lasting
Transformation
“Why Did This Happen To Me Again?”
by Dr. Janette Marie Freeman
Do
you wonder why your efforts at personal transformation don’t seem to
last?
Do you get excited about some new idea, but
after a while you slip right back into your old patterns?
How many of your dreams, desires and hopes have
been secretly dashed to destruction in the darkest recesses of your
mind, before they even had a chance to take root?
If so, you are not alone.
If you’re
anything like I was, something in you knows that there must be
more to life than the day-to-day experiences of just surviving. There
is an urge for greater expression in you, you’ve seen it, you’ve tasted
it, and you’ve even made decisions to move towards it; until, that voice
in your head convinces you that you’re crazy. You’ve read a lot; you’ve
tried meditating, you’ve tried affirmations and attending workshops,
seminars and classes. You
know that your attitudes play a part in your
life, and you’ve tried desperately to make some headway in your
happiness quotient. And then it happens: it’s the same relationship
under a different name, the same difficult person at work, the same
response that triggers the same familiar pain, and you ask, “Why did
this happen to me again?”
There is a huge leap in our personal growth,
evolution, and effectual freedom when we can take responsibility for our
feelings and experiences in life and see them as roadmaps to
self-discovery.
Our belief systems are the brick and mortar of our
lives. When they’re strong and supportive, they support life choices
and actions that are also strong and supportive. When our beliefs are
weak and degrading, we tend to see life through those eyes, attracting
opportunities to prove ourselves weak and degraded. Until we have a
lasting change in our internal belief systems, we seldom see lasting
change in our lives. Why settle for misery when you can be
happy? A strong foundation of supportive beliefs can
set you free to live the life of your dreams.
In
order to have a lasting transformation, you must experience a change of
beliefs at the subconscious level. Although it can be helpful to get in
touch with where and when you got your early beliefs, it is more
important that you now establish the new beliefs that will assist you in
attracting the life you desire. You may never determine the origin of
some of your beliefs, but that doesn’t stop you from establishing new
beliefs. You do this by being exposed to and accepting new ideas
repetitively. This does not happen with one or two
affirmations; it happens when you outweigh your limiting beliefs with
positive beliefs.
Millions of people are interested in personal and
spiritual growth, but are exhausted by their failed efforts. Many
wonder why their efforts don’t seem to last. They get excited by some
new idea, but after a while slip right back into old patterns. It can
just seem like too much work. They want something that is easier to do,
that fits into their busy lifestyle, and is effective. They want to be
encouraged and nurtured, and they need motivation to look above the
negativity they see all around them.
The power of repetition is mentioned in one form or
another in most self-help books, religious texts, even sports training
and business manuals. They all say the same thing; “You must have a
continuous influx of positive input in order to experience a lasting
change in life.” “We are what we think about most,” has been
taught, preached and written about for thousands of years. Unconscious
practices of thought have produced the troubled world we see around us.
Conscious practices of positive thought will produce the world we want
to see and experience. Most of everyone’s pains and failures in life
are simply a result of unhealthy beliefs. Those can be changed, when
you know how to recognize beliefs that cause pain and create beliefs
that bring joy and freedom. It is as simple as that. Positive
repetition in its many forms can radically transform one’s life from
painful to joyful, limited to abundant, diseased to healthy, and from
loneliness to love. You can change your beliefs and change your
life.
You see, I really know
that we are creative beings. I’ve experienced Universal Oneness, and
know that It is in every one of us. Its gift is what It is: creative
energy, pure potential, pure unadulterated possibility. It doesn’t
choose for us, It cannot. It simply says, “Yes.” Our opportunity is to
reveal what beliefs are in us that the Universe is saying to us “Yes,”
and create some new beliefs that we would like to experience the
universe saying to us “Yes.” I know it’s simple, though not always
easy, but what else are you going to do? Just when do you think will
be a better time to change your belief systems and experience the life
you were meant to live?
Never
underestimate the power of repetition;
it is a powerful and effective way
to change your beliefs and radically change your experience.
You can’t align your thinking with
positive and enlightening ideas without a conscious choice and a
decision to expose yourself to those ideas repeatedly. You can set
yourself free!
