It doesn\u2019t matter what\u2019s happening in the everyday detail of your life, what barriers you confront in life or what problems you think you have.  Life\u2019s ups and downs are just that \u2013 what goes up must come down and vice versa.  And all the ups and downs of life pass \u2013 one way or another.  There is but one constant in life.  And that is who we can be \u2013 not who we think we are, which is a markedly different kettle of fish! <\/p>\n<p>But the average mind doesn\u2019t know who they really are or the heights to which they could rise.  And if were ordered to <a href='http:\/\/www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>focus your mind<\/a>, you wouldn\u2019t know how.   The average mind is  bombarded by its own destructive thoughts and the synchronized thoughts of herd-like behaviour.  But even the herd can break free \u2013 look at how ordinary people in oppressed places like Tunisia, Jordan and Egypt are rewriting the political map of the Middle East.  And, in the same way, recall the way popular revolt tore down the Berlin Wall.  If the seemingly immovable objects of entrenched regimes can crumble so easily, then how much effortless is it for your own imagined ideas about yourself and about your life to vanish.<\/p>\n<p>After all, the only place that your misconceptions about who you are and the kind of life you could have are in your own imagination.  Sure, they seem real, they bring about concrete results, often for the worse, in your life \u2013 but they are, nevertheless, the creation of your own conditioned mind.  Psychology confirms that we are conditioned during our childhood by the things that make the biggest impression on us.   It is a psychological fact that we are all predisposed to thinking the worst about ourselves.   All this conditioning, which swirls below the surface of our minds, creates our behavior, how we react and, as a result, what others think of us, do for us or to us.  Our thoughts create our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Bearing that in mind, how obvious is it that, if you could change your thoughts, you would <a href='http:\/\/www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>change your life<\/a>?  The whole structure of your perceived life would collapse as surely and convincingly as the Berlin Wall.  And your life would start afresh.  However, it\u2019s not quite as simple as it sounds.  The Berlin Wall was only sitting on concrete foundations \u2013 the foundations of your life are far more subtly secured in your subconscious.   So, rather than trying to dismantle the web of thoughts that ties you down, it is far better, far more effective, if you simply ignore their unreality by directing your focus to reality \u2013 the reality of what\u2019s actually taking place right here, right now. <\/p>\n<p>Freedom from all your fears, doubts and worries is to be found when you focus your mind on what you are actually seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling and tasting right here, right now.   Understand that, learn how to do it and your life will never be the same again.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwisdomhealthprosperity.com%2Fselfimprovementmastery%2Fonly-you-can-change-your-life%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit addtoany_list\"><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/wisdomhealthprosperity.com\/selfimprovementmastery\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_256_24.png\" width=\"256\" height=\"24\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nvar a2a_config = a2a_config || {};\na2a_config.linkname=\"Only You Can Change Your Life\";\na2a_config.linkurl=\"http:\/\/wisdomhealthprosperity.com\/selfimprovementmastery\/only-you-can-change-your-life\/\";\na2a_config.onclick=1;\na2a_config.show_title=1;\n\/\/--><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/static.addtoany.com\/menu\/page.js\"><\/script>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s down to you to change your life \u2013 but only you can do it.
