Are You Programmed?

Written by Jan Tincher


Are you programmed?

Definitely.

How can you tell what programming you have in your unconscious mind?

That's easy. Just look around your life and see what has manifested. If it's happening -- manifested -- you have a program in your mind that attracts it.

Now, don't go blaming yourself for what's happened, or not happened, in your life. The same goes if you're ashamed of what is manifesting in your life. Don't blame yourself or feel shameful. Just read on and learn. This knowledge can transform your life.

You did not choose your programming. I repeat, you did not choose your programming. You must accept that before you can change.

Programming is usually thrust upon us byrepparttar people in charge of our care in our developmental years. Parents, teachers, peers, mentors, movie stars or TV actors.

TIP: It doesn't matter who those people were or are -- there's no need to get angry with them at this late date. They just, like, lifted their programming off them and set it on you. Let's face it, they couldn't, like, lift up someone else's programming and set it on you nearly as well as they could their own, so they did their own. That's what most people do. They try to make everyone else's world fit theirs. Face it, you've caught yourself doing it, too, haven't you? Your life basically boils down to: What you are is who, or what, you came into contact with when you were vulnerable and growing up. It might not have been a person you actually know who programmed you in some things. It could have been a favorite TV show, radio personality, an idol of some sort, whatever.

But, guess what. You're not in that vulnerable stage so much anymore. Now, you can make your own mature decisions. You can now take charge of your life.

Now, you know that when you look at something, or think about something, nothing is actually good or bad -- as in *nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so.*

You can feel strongly about or for something, and probably do. Onrepparttar 123661 other hand, you won't have to walk too far to find someone who feels strongly *against* what you feel strongly for. Who is to say who is right? What if suddenly you sawrepparttar 123662 way he or she was thinking about it, and realized, hey, THEY might be right! What about what you felt strongly about? Did IT suddenly change? No, what changed is how you looked at it, what you were thinking.

Personal Power

Written by Steve Pilkington


Power for living is never found externally...it doesn't consist ofrepparttar things one controls outwardly. This is an illusion of power and it can and does change withrepparttar 123660 varying circumstances of life.

For example, beauty fades, cars rust, houses deteroriate and relatives inherit. Many people believe that power comes fromrepparttar 123661 things they control and manipulate. Nothing in this external world is permanent...everything is "slippery" and will one day slip away from you.

Real power only comes to us as we take responsibility for our lives. It comes when we stop playingrepparttar 123662 "victim" and "blame" game. You and you alone are responsible for your destiny.

When I working on my masters degree I had to face was called a professional assessment close to graduation. Completing this assessenment would make me a candidate for graduation. If I failedrepparttar 123663 assessment I could be made to stay in school longer.

Just before going in, a friend of mine told me, "Go in there and take charge." Taking charge became a metaphor forrepparttar 123664 way I choose to live my life. It was some ofrepparttar 123665 best advice I ever received. I passed this advice on to my children and to those I coach. When you are willing to step up torepparttar 123666 "plate" and take charge, there is no way for you to be a victim. Take charge of your life!
