Begin with the end in mind - How Top Performers Think

I challenge you to think and view the world from a different perspective. Let us begin by realizing that everything is simply energy. Energy merely exists. Energy is neither good or bad. It simply exists in a state of being. Science tells us that everything is a mass of vibrating energy...including us. We know that everything came from the ultimate energy source...right down to the smallest particle...a particle of light....which is really really small.

Now, since science tells us that the above is true, we can now say that everything is god or from the ultimate energy source, however one would like to think of it. People have their own labels for it. It's been that way since time began. Some call it god , the divine, Allah, whatever label you want to assign to it is fine. It all means the same thing which is coming from one source. Lets not get hung up on labels so as to miss the point here. The point is that everything is the divine because it all came originally from the divine to begin with. You, me, the house you live in, the car you drive...everything , even the thoughts you think. Science has measured the energy wave of a thought from the human brain. Imagine that. Thought is energy. Where does thought go? You can't see thought.You can see the results of thought.

Ok, having said that we also know from science and quantum physics that energy can neither be created nor destroyed it just exists in a state of matter in one form or another. We also know from science that like attracts like. It's always been that way since the beginning of time.

Maybe you've thought about this and then again maybe you haven't but your thoughts are energy. Wave your hand through the air for a moment. The air we breathe is energy. We can't see it but it sustains our bodies functions. Thoughts exist in the ether. You pull thoughts to you based on your feelings. Remember like attracts like. So if you're thinking in a positive manner you will act in a positive manner because you must first think a thought before you can act. Thought must come first and then action. You will attract more of the same to you based on your thoughts. If you're in a negative mood and thinking negative thoughts....you will automatically take action ( whether you realize it or not ) that will bring you negative results. The reverse is true if you're in a positive mood and thinking positive thoughts you will take positive action ( whether you realize it or not ) that will ultimately bring you positive results. Thought without action following is meaningless. Thought alone will not produce results.

Most people never catch on to this....they have happy thoughts...act accordingly have great results, then think negatively...act accordingly and have negative results...its this on going tennis match that never ends....forward backward...forward backward...its non stop and so what do you think the results will be like? One only hopes that there's more forward movement happening than backward but that's not always the case is it? What have the results been like for you in your life? I want you to really think about this and once you do you'll probably have what I call the great.. AHA AA moment. I love great ahaaa moments don't you? It's a discovery moment where true learning and growth takes place.

Does that make sense? I've noticed that the trick is to recognize this forward backward tennis match and to catch yourself in order to bring yourself out of it. Yes, I'm saying that you have to be aware of what you're feeling and thinking. The more you concentrate on this the better you'll get at it. It's not easy because we actually exist in two states. Our earthly existence and our spiritual existence. Most people are not even aware of the two states. They just go on about their daily business in the combined state, unaware, struggling in the great tennis match of life....forward , backward, forward, backward never really getting very far.

We are here in solid flesh form or what appears to be solid ( more accurately said "slowly vibrating matter" ). The slower matter vibrates the more dense it is and the more visible it is. For instance, electricity vibrates very fast so you cannot see it. We enjoy the benefits of it even though we cannot see it and likewise we also exist in a spiritual state ( energy vibrating very very fast ) even though we cannot see our spirit. We are essentially spirit or a very fast vibrating energy field housed within a body or slower vibrating energy field. The trick is to try and keep yourself aware of who you truly are to the best of your ability. Which leads yet to another question who are you? Your body at some point will die and cease to exist. Your spirit does not die. Your spirit lives on forever. Our true identity is in spirit and our spirit is but an extension of the divine.

I propose to you that you are an extension of the mind of god or the ultimate energy source. In order for one to have an experience there must be difference. God or the divine exists in total perfection which is what everyone really is...totally perfect...because we all come from god or source energy ( our spirit ). The earthly plane is the imperfect state...so in order for the "experience" to happen duality exists. The perfect state and the imperfect state that could be defined as the spiritual and earthly worlds.

Try catching yourself on a regular basis. Take note of the thoughts you are thinking and the actions you're taking. Don't ever tell yourself you "can't" because that is negative. A negative thought brings negative action which will bring about negative results.

Always tell yourself you "can" because this is a positive. A positive thought brings about positive actions. You don't have to know how to do something or accomplish something just proceed anyway. You'll discover the solution along the way. The solution or results may not always be immediate but they might be. If you keep on thinking and doing positive things working towards your goal you'll eventually get to where your going. That's the way it works.

Imagine this for a moment...everything that "is" has already happened because everything is happening all at the same time. In order for us to grasp and comprehend things....events only appear to be in sequential order. Reality is that everything is happening all at the same time. Imagine right now what is going on everywhere at the beach, waves on the shore...fish swimming in the ocean, people dying, people being born, car accidents, inventions happening, football games being played...and on and on all happening at the same time...its true.

So since what I want to happen has already happened....all I have to do is fulfill it! I just have to keep working towards my goal until it becomes a reality. I know that's kind of mind bending but it's true. Have you ever heard this one "begin with the end in mind". Did you ever stop to think what does that really mean? It means that since its already happened all I have to do is first realize that its already happened and then take action accordingly to fulfill it! The hard part is realizing that it has already happened! Most won't believe that its already happened.

So in your business realize that you're already a success! You truly are already successful! Your success has already happened. All you have to do now is simply take the action you need to take to fulfill your success. You may change course numerous times and that's ok. Keep your thought process positive which keeps your action steps positive which will eventually bring you the positive results that you desire. Begin with the end in mind.
