Make It Happen

There is a difference between hoping and wanting. If you only hope for something, you can spend your life dreaming about it, but it may never happen. If you really want something you can make it happen.

Whether you have a personal belief or a non-religious outlook, you can start your own self-fulfilling prophecy, and turn your hopes into reality. First you must write down, or otherwise put into words, your idea, stating what you want to happen and thinking of ways in which you can start the process and work your way towards achieving it.

You can use visualization techniques, if you are not so good with words. This is a process of mentally visualizing yourself where you want to be when you have achieved what you are hoping for. See yourself in that position of having achieved it. Think how you will feel, how you will look, think of the difference it will make to your life. Get the picture in your head. Keep looking with your mind’s eye. Do this as often as you can. Your thoughts will start to focus on how you will attain this. You can start to make plans. Have clear thoughts. Make firm decisions. Once you can visualize the ideal that you dream of, you can start to put your plans into action and make them work.

If you are religious you may believe in the power of prayer. Prayer is a form of positive thinking. You are allowing for the possibility that it will happen. You will feel you have made the first step to making it happen by putting it into words and thoughts and offering prayers to confirm your faith. You have made an affirmation and that will help you make it come true.

There is another technique known as Cosmic Ordering. You address the universe, or cosmos, by speaking out, or writing down, your order for whatever you want to happen. You must clearly state the outcome you desire, but not the way you want it to happen. Then you leave it to the cosmos to bring about the result. In other words you leave it to chance. But really you have affirmed what you want, your unconscious mind will take control and when an opportunity appears you instantly know why and which course of action you must take. This is another form of positive thinking. Because you have put your trust in the cosmos to carry out your order, you have a positive attitude that you will get what you have asked for, and things soon begin to seem significant. You may even see signs or notice coincidences that suggest the cosmos is working for you.

Once you start using some or all of these techniques you should find you are developing a more positive outlook. You will find you are no longer living in hope, but are achieving your ambitions, or living your dream lifestyle.
