Have you ever thought that, "No, I can't make money. Even if I do, it's just not enough."? Well I've got something for you - but first, you have to understand the basic idea of the process of actualization.

Everything begins with thoughts - they may be in the form of memories, or up-to-the-second information fresh from your senses. Now these thoughts are what make you who you are. If you think that you are a good speaker, chances are you are - since bad speakers only think they're bad speakers. As a result, you either feel confident or downcast. These two are emotions - which are triggered by your thoughts. Let me clarify that: Thoughts lead to feelings.

Then, from what you feel, you decide how you will act - if you're confident, you act with a purpose, with a clear path to trod. If not, you lose your way and go around in circles. And your actions, will always lead to results. Let me say that again - actions always lead to results. That's because every action has a reaction. Now, it is your results that make up your reality. Is it becoming clearer? I'll diagram it for you:

Thoughts -> Feelings -> Actions -> Results -> Reality

Given this diagram, you can clearly see that by changing your thoughts, you can change your reality. I'll prove this to you in a while.

Now, let's go back to the first sentence of this article. Your thought says you can't make enough money. This leads to feelings of inadequacy, which lead to inadequate actions - which lead to inadequate results, and an inadequate reality. So, from thinking "not enough", you made "not enough" a reality!

This is where the power of affirmation comes in. Affirm something - say a statement, a powerful one, feel its echo through your body. It becomes part of you easier that way. If you can think "more than enough", chances are you'll feel confident, you'll act decisively, and you'll get decisive and positive results, which leads to a positive reality.

If you think you are inadequate, here is my advice - think that you can improve, and implement whatever changes you have to. If it's reading an extra book, listening to another tape or going to another seminar, you have to implement it so you can improve. Afterwards, you can feel confident because of that infusion of information - which leads to confident and informed actions, which lead to very positive results.

Thoughts create your reality, and you can think and act your way to riches.
