A simple formula for changing the future

[Andrea Barnett Budin]

I am realizing that part of the process of changing your future involves CHANGING YOUR CONCEPT OF YOURSELF.

For a bit, I saw myself as a cancer patient, a chemo room addict, constant docs and tests confirmed this reality. Rather immobilized by the side effects of chemo, at times I saw myself as a victim caught in a web of pain and angst. I bordered on being an invalid.

To ascertain the manifestation of higher concepts, we have to alter our concept of ourselves.

Your consciousness, your mental chatter and images bring you your reality. Simple, right? Not really. You must bravely and with utter tenacity and determination see and experience your ideal dream outcome. And then you must LIVE it. Now! Pulling it toward.

Present circumstances and conditions must be relatively put aside. The emotional roller coaster of fear, doubt, uncertainty, vulnerability AND THE SENSE OF LACK OF CONTROL must be decidedly curbed IN YOUR OWN BEST INTERESTS. Focus all your intention instead -- on your desired goal.

What you concentrate all your attention on, will come to be or be perpetuated. So what ifs hamper your journey to your fondest dreams. Self-prophesy is real. Your mind and your body respond to what you hold as TRUE and make it so. Life reflects what you believe, as a logical realist, or as a dedicated dreamer!

Your concept of yourself includes what you ACCEPT and CONSENT TO as being true. Are you a frighteningly sick person struggling to hold on -- or are you a SURVIVOR, with a long life in front of you??

Your reactions reveal where you live psychologically! It determines how you live in the outer visible world!

Once you KNOW a thing, you are on the road to it. So, arrange your thinking. I KNEW I would survive the day before my mastectomy in 1995. I owned that belief. I lived with joy and serenity, despite the unwanted reality of surrendering a breast in exchange for my life, despite the chemo's side effects. I often saw people staring at me, studying my face. What am I seeing?, they asked. You look -- joyful -- and serene...! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! So, my darling Sisters, I am telling you how...


With my love,

Feedback please. Anda Moo? Does any of this help you? Liz??

The drama of life is all about psychological responses to the conditions, circumstances and events of your life.

You unconsciously form assumptions. You intentionally edify yourself and form more assumptions. YOUR LIFE IS DETERMINED BY YOUR ASSUMPTIONS.

You can either be a slave to your assumptions -- or you can become their MASTER. I have consciously chosen to be the Master of my Fate. The Captain of my Soul.

How do I master my assumptions? I IDENTIFY with the hero in my dream. I am victorious and therefore feel joyful and serene. I live with that identity. I am a Survivor.

I have learned that what you want ALREADY EXISTS. There are possibilities. It is with your power of choice, your birthright in this world, that you can consciously choose your destiny. It is your task to draw your ideal to yourSelf. The dream then becomes overpoweringly real, in time. BELIEVE in that. I do. I dismiss all the fears that arise, all the doubt and uncertainty and supplant them with Belief, Certainty, Stone Determination and the passion those emotions evoke.

By your imagination, through your imagination, that which was a mere mental image is changed into a solid reality.

The Great Secret is a CONTROLLED IMAGINATION and a well-sustained attention to the details of that -- firmly and repeated focused energy (like a laser) on the object to be accomplished -- creates the ideal within your mental sphere.

You assume that you are already that ideal. You IDENTIFY yourSelf with it. You own it. Thereby, you transform yourself into that image in your head.

THINKING "FROM" THE IDEAL INSTEAD OF THINKING "OF" THE IDEAL makes all the difference.

All who do this will be inevitably transformed into the image of that in which you rest (THINKING from the wish fulfilled). LIVING "AS IF"... Grant this boon to yourSelf!

You become according to your resigned will. My resigned will is my concept of mySelf and all that I consent to and accept as true.

How could I not share this??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The book I am currently reading has an author who is saying all this, which I have KNOWN (and struggled to write in the book I am working on). But, I cannot wait any longer to finish the beloved project. I must get that message out there. People need to hear this.

More than wishing you well, I am giving you the recipe for wellness... Don't try. DO. I learned that from a young child who overcame impossible odds years ago. He was a guest on Oprah's daytime show. DON'T TRY -- DO is the message my Granddaughter placed on my cell screen for me. (I may be a technotard, well I clearly am one, but I have my children's children to help me...)
