In his book, Beyond Positive Thinking, Dr. Robert Anthony writes about our innate desire to reach our potential. He identifies three beliefs that keep us from being happy and satisfied:
#1—What I don’t have is better than what I do have. (The grass is greener on the other side of the fence).
#2—Having more is better. (More money, more stuff, more love, etc.)
#3—When I get what I want, I will be happy. This is based on the idea that if we work hard and solve all of our problems, someday we will be happy.
The Law of Attraction says that whatever you think about becomes your reality. So, what do you think about most of the time? Most people think about their problems.
Dr. Anthony says, “We have been trained to think about what isn’t, what should be and what we don’t have, and then how we might remedy a situation, solve it or make it better, and so when you first awake, you focus automatically on all the problems that you must face that day.”
This backwards thinking has us believing that if we HAVE the things that happy people have, we will DO what happy people do, and then we will BE happy. The truth of the matter is that we are the most blessed and advanced society on earth, yet we are far from being happy.
Again, the Law of Attraction teaches us that life flows from BEING, to DOING, into HAVING. If you are BEING happy (from the inside out), you will start DOING what happy people do, and you will HAVE what happy people have.
This doesn’t mean you have to accept where you are now and what you have now, and give up any desire of something better. It simply means that at the BEING level you already have want you want. You are already, right now a SUCCESS.
