Tag: taking action

As I told you last time, if you want to change the subconscious beliefs that are creating undesirable results in your life, you need to take action.

But, of course, you don’t want to take just any old action.

You want to take the action that’s going to lead to the result you want.

You want to make sure that you’re pushing the right thing in the right direction.

How do you determine what that right action should be?

That’s what Step 3 is all about.

Cause and Effect
Step 3 is based on the Law of Cause and Effect, which states that whatever you send out into the universe comes back to you.

Every action has a reaction.

Every cause has an effect. And every effect has a cause.

For example, let’s take money. Money is an effect.

The abundance or lack of money in your life is the effect of something you’re doing or not doing.

Your lack of money isn’t caused by the economy or the class in which you were raised or your lack of training and education.

Those are all excuses we tell ourselves so that we don’t have to take actions that might expose us or make us look foolish or upset someone’s idea of who we should be.

Think of all the sales calls you never made, the opportunities you never followed up on, the rates you were reluctant to raise.

A myriad of actions and inactions causes abundance and the lack of it. And all of those actions and inactions create the balance in your accounts.

The same is true for every effect, every result, in your life. Every effect in your life has a direct cause.

What Is the Cause of the Result You Want in Your Life?
Therefore, it follows that every effect, every result that you want to have in your life would have a direct cause as well.

And that’s why in Step 3 you want to identify the cause of the new result that you want in your life.

It’s actually pretty simple in today’s day and age to figure this out. There’s always somebody you can ask or information you can get from the Internet.

It is a little harder to employ because it does take some effort. There’s no question about it. But figuring it out is not difficult to do.

And once you identify the cause of the result you want, not only do the actions you need to take present themselves, but you will feel empowered as well.

Because you will begin to realize that, ultimately, you are the cause. YOU are the cause of the abundance in your life, in every area.

For instance, let’s say the effect you desire is more friendships — healthy, supportive, fun, intimate — friendships.

Then the cause of that would be to look at yourself, and consider how you can take steps to BE a better friend yourself, and start doing those friendship actions on a daily basis.

Once you start taking those actions, as I’ll show you in Step 4, you will start seeing results, and you’ll feel your tremendous power to bring in as much of whatever it is that you want in your life.

You won’t let anyone else dictate the actions you take. You’ll be free from the perceived constraints of others.

You’ll be well on your way to building the kind of self-confidence that truly is unshakeable.

Hi David!

I feel really stuck. I have LOTS of ideas for my business, and yet, I sit paralyzed because I can’t make a decision about what I should do first. I’m afraid I’m going to choose “WRONG”.
HELP!!!

So you must first DECIDE.

Choose ONE of your ideas. It doesn’t really matter which one, just choose one that inspires you the most.

Then take ACTION on that decision. Don’t worry about the results, don’t fret about what people will think, and don’t stop.

You see Spirit won’t give you your entire plan. You must take action on the first step before the 2nd step will be shown. If you never take action, you’ll never see the next opportunity.

If you should fall flat on your first idea, be grateful for what you’ve learned from it, and continue to look for the next opportunity. It WILL be there.

You will either win or you will learn, in which case, either outcome is a GIFT.

So far in this series, we have taken these three steps:

Step 1. Identify your “need,” the amount to the penny of your monthly bills.
Your need is a snapshot of where you are. In order to get where you want to go, you have to start where you are. If you’re already meeting your need every month, identify what you want, your financial goal.

Step 2. Determine why you need it.
You created the situation or circumstances in your life that you need that money for. Taking responsibility for those situations can lead you to powerful life changes.

Step 3. Become aware of the right opportunity to get what you need or want.
Opportunities are all around you. One or two will lead you to your goal, but others will not. Over the past several weeks, I helped you determine the best opportunity for you. (If you missed any articles in this series, you can find them here.)

As I’ve said, the right opportunity + action = success. This leads us to Step 4, which is:

Step 4. Take action on the opportunity.

Once you’ve determined the right opportunity, step into it completely and see it all the way through to its conclusion.

You probably won’t know exactly how or under which circumstances the opportunity will bring you what you want, and this is where people falter. Before they step into the opportunity, they want to know what’s going to happen. What will be required of them? But it’s just not possible to know that.

In order to achieve something you’ve never had before, you have to grow, you have to face some challenges and you have to change. You couldn’t possibly know in advance what those changes will be. Trying to imagine and control those future changes will only hold you back because that creates doubt, fear, and anxiety. Before you know it, you’re not doing anything but sitting around thinking about what you know you should be doing.

You need to step into the opportunity, with faith, trusting the Law of Polarity, which states that the money you need is around you right now. You did the footwork, as I showed you to do, to find that perfect opportunity for you, so now you just have to trust the universe and yourself.

Expect Success

When you step into the opportunity, expect success.

Expecting success actually changes your actions. You’re willing to do much more than if you were harboring doubt. Therefore, your expectation of success actually helps to create it. For instance, if you expect your teleseminar to fill, you’ll keep working up to the very last minute. You won’t give up, saying, “I guess it wasn’t meant to be.”

Instead, you’ll say, “My teleseminar is filling. I know it is. I’m going to keep at it until it does.”

And guess what happens? You brim with ideas and actions, the universe starts to help you and your teleseminar fills because failure was never an option.

As I’ve said, people don’t fail, they quit.

When you step out in faith, expecting success, and pursue your opportunity all the way to its conclusion, you will collect the money you need.

It will be there. That’s the promise of the Law of Polarity. Like gravity it absolutely never fails.

The opportunity to get what you want and need is around you right now. The Law of Polarity states that if you have a need, the way to fulfill that need must also be present.

The problem is, opportunity doesn’t actually knock. It hides…in plain sight.

Opportunity doesn’t want to hide. It’s there to give you what you need, but you can’t see it because your subconscious mind doesn’t want you to.

Your Subconscious Mind Controls Your Perception

Your subconscious is designed to keep you safe by keeping you where you are and preserving the beliefs you were programmed with. It does this by projecting a reality that is in harmony with those beliefs—a “reality” that also controls your perception and interpretation of outside events.

If an opportunity around you threatens those beliefs, your subconscious will prevent you from seeing it at all or will convince you that it’s harmful.

The Opportunity I Didn’t See

I experienced this myself. For two years, I had an opportunity in my life that would lead to tripling my income in less than a year, but I didn’t see it.

This particular opportunity not only challenged the negative beliefs around money that I’d been programmed with, but it also required me to face a very deep fear.

For two years, every week, part of my job on the loading dock had me talking to the driver of a fuel truck. When I reflected on his job, I thought, “Why would anyone want to drive a ‘bomb on wheels’?”

I saw it that way because a tragic fire when I was very young killed my uncle and two cousins, and my whole family was afraid of fire. My mother wouldn’t even allow candles in the house.

That fear controlled and limited my life in ways I didn’t even realize. In order to begin to have the life I wanted, I had to vanquish it.

Fortunately, my motivation to leave the unsafe situation my family was in, living next door to a drug dealer, was strong enough that when the driver told me about a job opening, I didn’t dismiss it, as I had in the past. In fact, I challenged him, making him bring in a pay stub because I didn’t believe he made as much as he did.

Long story short, I took the job, and in less than a year went from $20,000 to $60,000. Not long after that, another opportunity led me to what I’m doing today.

Action not Therapy

The bottom line is if you don’t have what you need or want, some fear and/or belief is holding you back.

Now, don’t run to therapy and try to figure out what that is. Instead, look around for the opportunity that will have you face that fear, build a new belief system, and give you what you want in life.

In order to do that, however, you have to be able to see the opportunity that your subconscious is hiding from you.

How do you see what you can’t see? I’ll walk you through that next time.
