Transform your world: change your thinking patterns

Take time to think about your goals and take the time often to do this. Take time every day to think about where you want to be in life and slowly but surely it happens

Everybody’s view of the world is different and it all comes down to the thinking patterns you use in your daily life.

If you think life is wonderful you will notice the wonderful things in your life and if you think life is not worth you will find things not good about life.

Change your thoughts and you literally change the world you are living in. First, you have to recognise your destructive thinking pattern.

Recognising and changing your way of thinking can be a long process depending on what patterns of thinking you employ and how badly you want to change.

People can change, do change, and change for the rest of their lives. It can be extremely difficult to focus on the good when, seemingly, bad things are happening in your life. However, you can train your mind to focus on the good things in your life rather than dwelling on the bad.

You see everyone as incapable of doing anything right and your way is the best way to do it For example, “He can’t do it right; you will find a lot of people in life who just don’t think there is a problem so there is no need to change. If this is you then do nothing. If you want to change you must think there is a need and you will start to recognise what things need to change and it usually starts with your perception of life.

You tend to make a lot of conclusions without any evidence to back up your conclusions. This can be a really destructive pattern as it can limit you from seeing reality for what it is. This is when you think nothing good will ever happen to you.

This can be a deep-seated way of thinking and it is a deep-down inability to believe you are worthy of anything good happening to you e.g. “I’ll never have money; I’ve never had it before so I’ll never have it in the future.

Everybody’s perception of life is different; therefore, everyone’s reality is different. I don’t live in the same world as you and you don’t live in the same world as me.

That might sound like a strange concept to some people, but think about it for a few minutes, it could change the way you see the world.

Your new way of thinking to good effect, you will start to notice new types of people enter into your life who can help you reach the goals you have in life, and in turn, you will help them reach their goals, don’t worry about how just now.

Take time to think about your goals and take the time often to do this. Take time every day to think about where you want to be in life and slowly but surely it happens. Wishing you all the best
