Why is everything going wrong in my life?

I’ve read this so many times, people talking about how everything seems to be going wrong in their lives, and all at once.

Some people attempt to turn their lives around by using affirmations, or writing down their goals, but still things keep going wrong.

“Why me?” they ask. “I’m doing everything I can to turn my life around, but I keep getting hit with these obstacles!”

One thing I’ve recently learned is about the power of your thoughts.

What you may not realise, is that your current reality is the result of your prior thinking.

Let me explain this…

If your life is crappy now, then it’s very likely your thoughts in the past have been crappy!

So obviously the solution is to stop thinking crappy thoughts, right?

Well yes, but here’s where the problem lies…

Most people who make a concerted effort to turn their thoughts around, start to lose faith, and return very quickly to those negative thoughts, long before the good stuff is manifested.

Why does this happen?

Unfortunately, we all want everything yesterday, and that’s not how life works.

Yes, turning our thoughts around is a great start, and focusing on what you DO want is one of the best things you can do, but you’ve also got to detach from the outcome – trust that what you want will be delivered to you in it’s own time, when you are ready to receive it.

“But I’m ready now!”

The Universe may think differently, which is why faith and patience is essential to turning things around.

So the next time you find yourself in a negative thought pattern, say “STOP!”, then replace that thought with something pleasant, such as something you DO want in your life.

And then you let it go, and trust it’s coming to you in it’s own time – and if you do this, this (or something better) will happen.
