I discovered some years ago that I was getting the same results of despair, frustration and depression when trying to improve myself in order to increase my wealth.  I knew that it was possible to overcome this somehow as the brain is so powerful that I could use it productively to gain more confidence and more wealth.  So I set about learning the best ways.

I have read hundreds of books about the subject and I used affirmations every day also, the thing was that my frustration was dominating my mind though.  I became quite bitter and very low and angry at times but I knew that this was a bi-product of my thinking, more so than the actual situation really.  Read that sentence again and you will see that situations are nothing more than how you see them. 

Once I started to shift my awareness about this I began to realise that my thoughts were habitual from maybe childhood conditioning about money or frustration.  Also they were current and defensive, trying to protect myself from turmoil.  Being aware of this I began to use simple strategies to help confidence and focus.  What I did was write down what I wanted and look at the goals every day so as to print it into my mind then that would dominate my thinking instead of lack and frustration.

I also started doing more exercise as this connects your mind to your body and gives you more energy to focus in a positive way.  I began to breath deeper and drink more water.  I continued to read self development material.  I was beginning to see things in a different light.  I was more happy and relaxed and therefore able to focus more on the job at hand instead of what wasn't working.  The real breakthrough came though when as I was reading my goals one night and trying to visualise them being real,  and it hit me.  Reading was good but what was I feeling?  When you are a kid you get a new bike for Christmas and you are so excited right!  Why not get excited about these things because if I achieved them I would be ecstatic. These things would change my life forever.

There it was, I just needed to have more emotion involved that was positive and energised.  This emotion of faith was the answer.  Believing what I wanted to be real and feeling amazing about that.  Having the key ingredient faith was the answer I wanted.  From then on every time I got down or discouraged and started slipping back into the old ways of depression I said no I have faith deep inside that these things are real and my life is abundant.

I can tell you that it wasn't long before I started to attract these things into my life.  I say attract because the more positive I was I seemed to get more positive returns as If I was somehow attracting positive energy through my expectations.  There you have it folks, If you are more positive and make the conscious change to focus with faith on what you desire, then, you start to get more of what you want.  I am living proof of that happening.

You are your own master, you control you.  Be aware of that and use yourself in the best way possible.  I now work online fulltime and take my laptop all over the world whilst I travel.  Do you want more freedom?  More choices?  More abundance?  More happiness and peace? Then you know what to do RIGHT NOW! 

Start now by exercising more, begin to eat healthier, enter positive thoughts into your mind.  Study successful people who have what you want, and study your goals everyday with laser focused faith:)   Get clear on what you want and what you want will find you.
