How can you create the life you want?

It is both simple and hard.  Simple, because we are in control of what we think.

It can also be hard, because we don’t often believe or remember that we are in control.

Your Life = Your Thoughts

I see with my clients over and over again that the life they are experiencing is directly related to how they are thinking about themselves and the world.  

If they feel good, then typically good things are happening in their life.

If they feel bad, the *&%$ is hitting the fan.

The truth is no matter what is happening out “there” you can feel good.

How can that be?

Because it is your thoughts about the situation or circumstance that creates your feelings.

How you feel causes you to act in a certain way.

Which then leads to…

How you act or do not act creates the results you are experiencing in your life.

It is really that simple!

Creating What You Want

So the degree of influence you have in your life is directly related to what you are focusing on. 

I want to share this Native American Wisdom teaching, where this lesson is beautifully expressed…

TWO WOLVES

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.

“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”

He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

So What Are You Feeding?

Are you feeding the part of you that encourages and empowers you or tears you down?

This is some of the biggest part of my work with clients is their self talk.
