You Are What You Think
by Bert Oliva
Our brains are amazing. Truly. They are organic machines that are more capable of things than any one of us is truly aware of. One of the things that many of us do not realize is how our brains can help us get what we want. Our mindset is as important, if not more important, than the actions we take and the choices we make. In order to achieve any goal, we must work on having a mindset that corresponds with that goal. We must believe we can achieve that goal; see ourselves achieving it; know that we are going to achieve it.
The “Law of Attraction” has become a buzzword lately. However, that does not make the concept of it any less true. The Law of Attraction means that like attracts like. The more you focus on something, the more likely you are to attract that into your life. This is because subconsciously you will be more aware of opportunities that enter into your life that will give you what you are focusing on. And you are more likely to make choices, consciously and subconsciously, to achieve whatever it is that you are focusing on.
However, this concept is true for both negative and positive things, so be careful with what you focus on and what you want. Start paying attention to your thoughts and words. Start spending time with people who have similar goals or who have what you want. Like attracts like, so be with the people that you want to become like. Think the thoughts of what you want to become. The more you get your mindset and your everyday life to align with your goals and aspirations, the more quickly you will get what you want and become what you want.

1) What is it that you want out of your life? What is your current goal? Write it down. Place it somewhere where you can see it regularly.
2) Are you spending time with people who align with this goal? Doing activities that will help attract opportunities to achieve it? If not, start spending a little time with people who do and/or doing activities that do.
3) Start paying attention to what you say and think. Do these thoughts and words align with what you want in your life? If not, start changing your thoughts and words. Do this by replacing one or two “Power Words” at time. For instance, if you say “No” a lot, replace it with “Yes, but not right now,” etc.
