Today, it seems that many people feel as if they have totally lost every ounce of control over their lives.They look at their mistakes and failures as evidence that all is lost, or soon will be.

Have you ever felt the same way?

The fact that something you didn’t want, happened in the past, does not imply that it is going to happen again.The two instances are not related, and the negative action needn’t continue. It needn’t continue as long as self-command is a ruling principle of your life.

It needn’t continue as long as we can choose to return to a sound, confident mindset that puts us at the centre of our reality and assumes total responsibility. In essence it puts us in charge of our destination.

Self-command goes hand-in-hand with self-confidence. As a result, if you learn to command yourself into certain actions, then you inevitably build large reserves of self-confidence.

Many people act with surprise when told that the control of their personal lives starts with control of their own minds, however there is nothing which makes more sense! Nothing was ever done without first thinking about doing it.

It is possible that the unconscious mind played a major role, however action always starts with thought. Self-command starts with thought-command. If you are unhappy in your current job, you may think you are incapable of landing a more promising career. In that moment, if you come to the realisation that your block is purely mental, you can instruct yourself consciously with the command “you only think it’s real.”

Recent advances in brain science have proven beyond doubt that any thought which is repeated enough, is accepted as true by the unconscious mind. And, the unconscious mind is the power centre of your brain.

So here’s what happens…

The unconscious mind begins working to bring about the conditions that relate to your most dominant thoughts. This is self-evident in your current reality. The best thing is that by understanding this concept, you will quickly stop any negative thoughts before they dampen your self-confidence.

Here’s what you should do:

1. Become clear that it is simply a thought. (That you are incapable).

2. Understand that your negative thoughts are what are holding you back.

3. Know that’s it is not your lack of ability or anything else!

4. Get so clear that you feel an inner drive to rise up and continue to act in line with your values.

If you follow this simple process, you will be surprised at how fast you can overcome thoughts and feelings that have been holding you back. Also, you will discover that fresh opportunities will begin to show up. This is not magic – it’s simply your brain bringing your conscious awareness to the goal you gave it through repetition.

Here is a great quote to remember….

“Those who can command themselves can command others.” -William Hazlitt.
