Allowing
There is a concept entitled allowing that I am struggling to get my head around. Basically allowing is the idea that we do not receive things into our life because we erect barriers to these items. I am so guilty of this that I have retreated into status quo over the last few years. From 2005, I have been clearing my barriers to things which I want to receive in my life. The issue for me is that I don’t know what I want so I have just been working. If I knew what I wanted in my life, I could then identify the barriers. I am so screwed up that I can’t even identify what I want so how can I allow it if I don’t know what it is. Most of what I know is old and useless now. Einstein said that you can’t use the same level of thinking to get you out of a problem which old thinking got you into. I need some new thinking to allow the things I want.AH

Thats really good stuff. I could relate that to people having a mentor, someone that can tell you when your off path or someone that can show through actions that unbelivable things are possible. I spoke with someone just the other day that has a mentor that makes a lot of money, and just talking and learning from his mentor he has taken his own business from bankrupt to 15k a month, and he still knows the skys the limit. For some people its not about financial success, people that have never had money some times dont understand that. But for the ones that its not about financial success they may want to teach, share, coach others on to greatness to get true fufilment in their lives.

I like this post. I need some new thinking too.. I feel like I’ve always been mediocre at best at most things I do.. I loose the drive to become great at some point or just loose interest in general.. I’m searching for something and I want to become passionate and great at something.. I just can’t figure out what it is.

Allowing is the first step. Here is an exercise that I do. Take two pieces of paper. on the first write down all of your negative thoughts about work, money, jobs, people etc. Spend 10 minutes dumping on this sheet of paper. Then throw it away - physically throw it away. then on the second blank piece of paper start with the things you are thankful for or praiseworhty then list the things that you do when you don’t have to do anything. That might start a spark of passion and a list
