Down On Your Luck? Here's How You Get Over The Hump!

Written by Richard Vegas


It's time to put a bad rumor to rest right now. Good things don't happen to you because you have "good luck." And, bad things don't happen to you because you have "bad luck." Well then smart guy, what is it? I'm glad you asked; Read on!

Time For All-Out War!

Somewhere long ago, a rumor got started and spread all overrepparttar world that told us, as long as we live in this world, we have to suffer fear, failure and defeat. Here's what I think of that!

Some how or another, we have been presented with a bill of goods that just stinks like a skunk. The rumor says we have no chance to escape, and no hope to changerepparttar 123444 course of our circumstances. This is a bunch of bull, but it's worked on a lot of people.

It is a shame that so many people are defeated; but, prosperity, health, success and victory are not blessings that are only available for a select few. These ideas were God's plan for all humanity. He never intended for any of us to live underrepparttar 123445 beggarly elements of this world.

The Burning Question!

You see, there are two forces at work in this earth. One force brings about things that are good and wholesome, andrepparttar 123446 other force brings about things that are bad and unwholesome. Obviously, everyone wants to be onrepparttar 123447 good and wholesome side; why do we find ourselves onrepparttar 123448 bad side so often?

There could be many reasons, but let me point out one that always seems to stick its ugly head up whenever it gets a chance. That is; when we try to create, or expect positive things to come when we are experiencing negative emotions.

Folks, it seldom works. Trying to create positive results using negative emotions is about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. If we recognize that this negative emotion condition is probably hindering us, then it's time to get overrepparttar 123449 hump.

Negative emotions are subject to certain things. They are influenced by what we see, hear, and say. They are formed in our minds by words that we read, words that we hear, and words that we say.

When you are experiencing a low; an anxiety or depression that is causing you worry, I can almost guarantee you that you are thinking about things, reading about things, or looking at things that are causing it.

Listen carefully: Circumstances don't cause worry! Many timesrepparttar 123450 circumstances were disastrous before you even found out about them. But,repparttar 123451 instant you found out about them, what happened? Worry!

You felt great just five minutes before you found out. The circumstances are notrepparttar 123452 problem. I know you think they are, and that's exactly my point. "You are thinking they are."

You are forming thoughts and ideas in your mind to create an escape plan, in case your brain-child fails, to get yourself permanently out ofrepparttar 123453 mess you're thinking about.

Cut To The Quick!

The whole time you're forming this escape plan, you are focused onrepparttar 123454 circumstances that are causingrepparttar 123455 negative emotions, which are causingrepparttar 123456 low. The biggest problem is notrepparttar 123457 circumstances, it'srepparttar 123458 negative emotions.

The conclusion ofrepparttar 123459 matter will be whatever it will be. The only thingrepparttar 123460 negative emotions will do is make you lose your self-esteem and feel lower than a ditch digger. It will make you feel worse than a criminal. You will convince yourself there is no way out.

Here is another problem; when you feel inadequate forrepparttar 123461 problem, you will not formrepparttar 123462 right thoughts in your mind to create positive emotions. Whichever emotions you are experiencing, positive or negative, they will tend to perpetuate themselves atrepparttar 123463 time.
