When we are born into this world we become a further extension of the cultural beliefs, habits, and knowledge that immediately surround us. As we grow, we begin to take on the views of our family, friends and media. This reality that we come to know as an absolute truth is nothing more than a story. It is the story that was told to you, which you turned into your reality. Our beliefs are always emanating an energy which shapes our surrounding circumstances and reality, whether or not we are aware of it. If this is true then we must monitor with great care who’s story we begin to believe and take on as our own. If one wishes to master the art of writing their own story in life then they must come to realize that ALL stories are correct in the fact that they become the reality of the person who believes them.

 

 

“Whether you think you can or can’t, you are right.” –Henry Ford

Surrounding yourself with the right kind of people is a Key factor in the manifestation of your dreams and aspirations. People who are uplifting and make you feel empowered are the kind of people that you should focus on attracting into your life. There is an abundance of these uplifting individuals who offer their inspiration to anybody willing to lend an ear. These are people that have discovered the secret to the unconditional and infinite abundance and love that life has to offer.

On the other hand, there will always be people who would like to put you down and make you feel as if what you wish to accomplish is impossible. These are the folks who themselves have not realized success in their life through the misuse and ignorance of the laws of the universe. In order to strengthen their own story, they wish to have as many people as they can believe in it which makes them feel secure in the fact that they are not failures, but that life is often unfair and random in its dealings. This is understandable but not acceptable. The sooner you can rid your life of these types of people, the sooner it will fill back up with the type of support you need.

 

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” -Mark Twain

It has been through dealing with my disease that I have come to identify the harmful types of personalities, each with their own story, that I must avoid to maintain the positivity needed of me in order to uphold my health. Online communities have become a place for people who identify with their disease to come together and convince others of the permanence and deadliness of their disease. They have made it their identity and are angered at the notion that they have the power to change it if they wish. The empowering individuals are not online chatting about the many ways they may die, but out living their lives and pursuing their dreams.

Being a musician myself, I have noticed that there were always an abundance of washed up musicians who would go out of their way to let me know how hard it is to make it in the industry. I would also come across people who would let me know that I could make it if my heart was in it and if I worked hard enough. These were usually the people that had found success themselves or were close to people who were successes in the industry.

Misery loves company while success breeds success. Why is it that there are certain people whom everything they touch turns to gold? It’s because the story that they believe in says that success comes often, easily and without question. If you wish to create this kind of result for yourself then you need to start paying close attention to the story you are telling yourself in your head and the stories that you are listening to from other people.

With the elimination of the negative people out of your live, and the revision of your life’s story, you will be one step closer to the manifestation of the kinds of results that you desire in your lifetime.
