If You’re Not Where You Want To Be In Life, It’s Your Own Fault
By: Kevin Thompson
Have you ever wondered why you’re not where you want to be in life?
Fact is, we both have at one time or another.
I know I certainly have.
And while I still haven’t achieved all of my goals, and probably never will (cause I keep setting bigger ones), I sure have come a long ways.
And you know what happens?
Once you make progress and have some success in your life, your mind opens to what you’re capable of accomplishing.
And that’s where I’m at right now. I’ve had what many would consider a great amount of success, yet I keep pushing forward.
Some people ask me why I don’t just kick back and relax for awhile, but that’s just not on my agenda, and here’s why.
My good friend and successful business owner Chet Rowland puts it this way, “You know what you want once you’ve had a taste of success? You want more, that’s what you want.”
And that’s the truth, we want more.
We want more money, more happiness, more love, more time, heck, we want more of everything.
And believe me, there’s nothing wrong with that.
The desire for something more and something better is what keeps this world going around.
It’s certainly what keeps me going.
Cause the fact is, in the past I’ve had it both ways, and I’ll tell you what, more is better.
Now, before you start judging me, let me tell you this, I don’t believe that our creator intended for us to be poor. Being poor never helped anyone.
I believe that our creator intended for us to have the very best of everything. Our creator also gave us the means to make this a reality.
Yet many people still don’t know how to go about getting everything they want from life.
But I’m going to let you in on the secret right now, and show you how to magnetically attract to yourself the very best that life has to offer.
It all comes down to asking yourself the right questions, yet the truth is, most people truly suck at this.
In fact, they’re continually asking themselves the wrong questions.
They ask questions like…
Why am I always broke?
Why can’t I be at my ideal weight?
Why can’t I meet the right woman (or man)?
Why do I have to get up and go to this job I hate every day?
The problem with asking yourself questions like this is that your subconscious mind will immediately got to work and come up with answers for you.
Now, if you’ve never had any experience with this, you might be thinking to yourself, “Uh oh, here he goes with that positive thinking stuff.”
And you would be dead wrong.
This has absolutely nothing to do with positive thinking.
But it has everything to do with asking yourself the right questions.
So, let’s see how we can automatically put your mind to work for you by re-phrasing the questions above.
How can I make an extra $500.00 this month without working more hours?
How can I get to my ideal weight by only making small changes that I can actually live with for the long haul?
How can I go about finding that special woman (or man) to share my life with?
What is it that I really enjoy doing (sometimes called unique abilities) and how can I go about finding a job that will allow me to use these unique abilities?
Are you starting to get the idea?
By asking yourself the right questions, your mind will automatically go to work and come up with the answers for you.
Believe it or not, you’ve already done this before, probably without even realizing it.
Let me explain.
Think back to the last time someone asked you a question that you knew the answer to, but couldn’t remember right off the top of your head.
Maybe they asked you about the name of a song, who sings it, the name of an actor in a movie or the name of a restaurant.
You start to think about it, and it even frustrates you a little, cause you know the answer.
You might even say something like, “It’s right on the tip of my tongue”.
A while later the answer comes to you. It may take a few minutes, a few hours or even a day, but sooner or later the answer came to you.
The reason why? Because you asked your sub conscious mind for the answer.
I use my mind just like this on a daily basis. Here’s how...
As you know, I write a daily health update for you.
How in the heck do you think I come up with all the content for these things?
It’s certainly not cause I’m an accomplished writer. In fact, I’ve had virtually no experience at writing, and I certainly never went to school for it.
This is how I do it (and this is a secret I learned from another good friend, Matt Furey) …
Each night before I go to bed I ask myself this question: “What can I write tomorrow morning that will convey my thoughts in the most sincere way, and have the most positive impact on everyone who reads it?”
Then, I go to bed. And during the night, as I’m sleeping and my body is re-energizing itself, my sub conscious mind is working to come up with the answer for me.
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with the answer. Sometimes it comes to me in the morning.
But most the time I have to get up in the morning, come down to my home office, sit in front of my computer and start writing.
Sometimes I’ll start writing without having a clue what I want to talk about, but then it comes to me.
Just to get myself going, I may start out with something like this, “I don’t really know what I’m going to write about this morning, and I kinda feel a little overwhelmed at the moment… hey, that reminds me of a time when…”
And just like that, it comes to me, and I go with it.
The action of putting my hands to the keyboard and plunking away forces my mind to go to work and give me something good to write about.
I write the daily updates in Microsoft Word and they’re typically 1½ to 2 pages long. But because I feel so strongly about this particular subject, and wanted to convey my feelings to you, here I find myself at almost four pages.
Your mind is powerful tool, and when you know how to put it to work for you, you can accomplish anything you desire, easier and faster than you ever thought possible.
You can loose the weight you want to loose.
You can improve your health.
You can find the relationship you desire.
You can have the rewarding career that you’ll enjoy.
You can have more income and live the lifestyle of your choosing.
All you’ve gotta do is ask yourself the right questions.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection
(excerpt)
You are about to gain insight into the
mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our
planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and
bodies, you can learn
to use this fact to your benefit.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and
Miracles" was once a
distraught cancer surgeon until he
began to understand the greater principles
of the mind-
body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial
barriers
that existed between patient and doctor, and the
helplessness he often felt as
a result of his inability
to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those
barriers
were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition
and growing understanding of the
mind-body connection and
how it could serve his patients and himself.
Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients
refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that
there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat
the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability
to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and
attitude about their
disease.
