3 Steps to Completely Eliminating Problems from Your Life3 Steps to Completely Eliminating Problems from Your Lifeby Tony MaseDo you have problems in your life? Business problems... Financial problems... Health problems... Relationship problems... Or... Any other kind of problems? If you do... Heres my simple three-step formula for completely eliminating them from your life: Step #1 - Completely eliminate the word "problem" from your vocabulary. The first step to completely eliminating problems from your life is to completely eliminate the word "problem" from your vocabulary. The "Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary" defines the word problem as: "A thing that is difficult to deal with or to understand." Thus... By its very definition, the word problem implies difficulty and, more often than not, is accompanied by all sorts of destructive emotions. Rather than call something a "problem", why not call it what it really is... A situation. The "Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary" defines the word situation as: "All the circumstances and things that are happening at a particular time and in a particular place." Thats exactly what a problem *really* is, isnt it? A so-called problem is nothing more or less than a given set of circumstances and things that are happening at a particular time and in a particular place. What makes a situation a "problem" is the difficulty *you* assign to it. In other words... A problem isnt really a problem... Its a situation. You make a situation a problem by how you label it! By simply re-labeling a problem as a situation, and *meaning* it, you remove the difficulty and destructive emotions associated with it and put yourself in the necessary state of mind to constructively deal with it. Once youve reduced a problem to what it really is... Just another situation in your life... Youre ready for... Step #2 - Forget it. Dont talk about the situation... Dont think about the situation... Forget it! After some eight years of studying the writings of Wallace D. Wattles, best known for his classic masterpiece "The Science of Getting Rich", Im pretty much convinced "forget it" was Wallace D. Wattles favorite phrase. Throughout his writings, its his answer to practically everything that "ails" you. In an article he wrote, titled "Talk That Builds Health", Wallace D. Wattles explains why: "When you forget it, it will be gone." Thats exactly what happens too... Its absolutely incredible just how much "stuff" in my life cleaned itself up or disappeared completely simply because I "forgot it". Now... "Forget it" is easier said than done, isnt it? Trying to forget something is a bit like trying not to think about pink elephants... The more you try *not* to think about them, the more you think about them, dont you? So... How do you forget about pink elephants? Simple... Think about blue elephants. When you change your focus from pink elephants to blue elephants, the pink elephants disappear all by themselves, dont they? Thus... Step #3 - Focus your attention on the situation you want, not on the one you dont want. There is a Creative Power within you that makes your life into the exact image of that to which you focus your attention. If you focus your attention on the situation you want... Thats exactly what youll have... The situation you want. On the other hand... If you focus your attention on the situation you dont want... Thats exactly what youll have... The situation you *dont* want. This is the way the Universe works! So... Rather than focus your attention on an undesirable situation you might find yourself in, focus your attention instead on a desirable situation youd prefer. For example... Should you find yourself in an undesirable financial situation, ask yourself what its opposite would be... What a desirable financial situation would be. Then... Imagine yourself as if you were already there... In that desirable financial situation. And... Keep your attention focused there... On yourself in that desirable financial situation. The moment you begin doing this... Youll begin moving toward that desirable financial situation and that desirable financial situation will begin moving toward you. And... At the same time... Youll find, as I have, that the undesirable financial situation will begin to clean itself up or disappear all by itself. Well... There you have it... My simple three step formula for completely eliminating problems from your life. Dont let its simplicity deceive you. I can tell you from personal experience... The best strategies in life are the simplest. :-) |
