Everyone has perfected the art of asking for something.
- I need more money.
- I want to be happy.
- I long to be healthy.
- I deserve a good life.
- I'll never be rich.
- I can't be happy.
- I always get sick.
- I must have done something to deserve this.
Of course you've heard this one "If there is a will, there is a way", but there is a catch, you have to believe it is possible. If you don't believe it in your heart and soul, if you don't believe in the YOU that is your being, if you don't believe that you can achieve something, how possibly can you receive it?
Why is such a large percentage of our population stuck in asking mode? We were brought up this way. Think of these quotes I bet you can finish the sentences on your own...
- "Money can't buy..."
- "Money isn't..."
- "Money is the root of..."
- "You get what you...."
Time to retrain the brain! You DO deserve to be healthy and wealthy. Do NOT feel guilty for having when others do not (you achieve your greatness and then share with others, let your blessings bless others). It is not what it is, there is always more that bigger and better.
Now how to get here from there? Take all the steps in between.
No matter what it is you are asking for, you will get it, but pay attention. If you ask for money, then say you'll never be rich, you are confirming you'll never be rich, and that's what you'll get. If you ask to be happy, yet focus on your misery, you'll get more of the same. If you ask to be healthy, but are always affirming that you are always sick, that's what you'll get. If you ask for a good life, but keep thinking how your life sucks, you'll get more of the same.
Fine tune your request with laser focus, believe in what you ask for, and don't counter your asking with a negative follow up thought. The strongest thought will win and if you beat the positive thought up with the negative one, the negative one will win because it is stronger in your mind's eye.
When you ask for more money, tell yourself that you allow more money to flow to you. Do not for one nano second even think that it will never get here. If you catch yourself sliding into the downward thought process, squelch it. If you have to, wear a girthy rubberband on your wrist and pop it each time you catch yourself in negative thought!
Now, when asking for money, will this money appear in a paper bag on your porch, probably not. In the art of allowing, you have to take the steps in between. You ask, then be aware. Look for the rungs of the ladder that are going to get you there. A new door opening? A new opportunity presented to you? Meeting someone and making a business connection? There are no coincidences, ask, believe, be aware, take the action steps, and always be prepared to receive.
Is this easy? Heck no! You literally are retraining your thought process from a lifetime of conditioning. There are many books on positive thought, and I recommend reading as many as you can get your hands on.

Do you WANT to change your thought patterns? Then make a choice to do it, and take the steps to get here from there...
