Do you really want to look back on your life
and see how wonderful it could have been
had you not been afraid to live it?
- Caroline Myss
What if I told you that everything you want in life is within your grasp – that you have the power to be, do, or have anything you desire? Not buying it? Well, I didn’t believe it either – but I desperately wanted to!
I wanted it badly enough to look at what those who have success in every area of their lives had to say about achieving it. How did they do it? What changes did they make to take control of their future? How were they able to create a life most of us only dream about?
For years, my dreams had been filed under “impossible”, or “maybe one day”, or “when I win the lottery.” I kept trudging forward through a life I really wasn’t enjoying. Then one day I looked at my life and realized:
I WAS BROKE – MIDDLE-AGED – OVERWEIGHT – SICK – OUT-OF-SHAPE – LONELY – FRUSTRATED – UNHAPPY – AND REALLY, REALLY TIRED OF LIFE IN GENERAL.
OH MY GOD – I’D BECOME MY WORST NIGHTMARE!!!!
Like many of you, I was cruising through life on auto-pilot – or maybe asleep at the wheel in my case – desperately trying to do what I had been programmed from childhood to believe was required for a “happy” life.
Oh, I rebelled mightily from time to time, but always ended up back on that hamster wheel of “success”, changing jobs every couple of years in a desperate attempt to find something to fill that scary void lurking inside.
Does any of that sound familiar? Then you will be happy to know that I have gathered together on this website the best of the reports, books, and programs that educated me, and helped me change my mind-set to become:
Formerly Broke – I now have several successful and lucrative internet businesses that allow me to work in my PJs if I want to!
Formerly Middle-Aged - I look and feel younger and more vibrant. You can’t stop it, but you can slow down the aging process to a crawl.
Formerly Over Weight – I found out it wasn’t my fault I was fat! And I found ways to painlessly and permanently work toward my ideal body.
Formerly Sick – I found out how to cure everything wrong with my body.
Formerly Out-of-shape – I actually use my exercise equipment now and enjoy walking several miles a day. When your body feels good it wants to move!
Formerly Lonely – I still haven’t found my life partner, but because I look and feel so much better, I no longer hide at home – I get out and do things!
Formerly Frustrated – I am now free to do the things I’m passionate about because my financial, physical and spiritual success has liberated me.
Formerly Unhappy – I am so happy and grateful everyday for everything the universe brings into my life – once I opened myself to the possibilities.
Formerly Really, Really Tired Of Life – I’m excited. Every day has the promise of a new adventure. I am creating a future that allows me to have the life I want to live.
When I realized that day what my life had become, I had three choices:
- Crawl into bed, pull the covers over my head, and just give up.
- Have a major attack of the “poor me’s” and continue as I was
- Change course and fix what was wrong
I’m too stubborn to just give up and the “poor me’s” are boring, so I opted for number three. The problem? – I had no idea what to do, how to do it, or where to find what I needed to know. To paraphrase Martin Luther King, you don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. So I started searching.
In case you have been living under a rock and don’t know – absolutely anything you want to learn about is available on the Internet. If you have access to a computer – you have access to knowledge – lots and lots and lots of it!
So I started putting in what I now know are called “key words” – things like personal development, self-help, weight loss, home-based business, etc. Yikes!! I got hundreds and thousands of websites.
Many of them offered INSTANT financial success, mind-control, weight loss – you name it, they guaranteed life changing results immediately. Sounds great right? Big surprise – they didn’t work.
Nothing worth having is that easy. It takes time, education, and understanding how you got where you are – before you can get to where you want to be.
Where you are today may not be your fault,
but, it is your responsibility.
Do you like where you are in your life?
Do you like what you’re doing?
Do you like the people around you?
I spent a huge amount of time and way too much money on totally useless trash – but I did find some true gems among all the fakes, which led me to create this website. I am sharing with you the mentors who helped me change my thinking so that I could create the life I want to live.
Here on ControlYourFutureToday.com I have gathered what I consider to be the best of what I found.
There is a lot of free guidance, from good people who are driven to share knowledge and insights they have gained over many years. There are also some outstanding programs to give you more in-depth information.
Ask yourself these serious questions and write down honest answers.
Who do you want to be?
What do you want to be?
What do you love?
What are you passionate about?
What sets you on fire?
Each of us has the power to be, do, or have anything we want in life. What’s holding you back? Are you willing to be responsible for your life – or will you continue to be a victim?
That’s what I was – a victim, busy feeling sorry for myself and blaming the world around me for my circumstances. I was blind to the walls of limiting beliefs between me and the future I craved.
I couldn’t see that the only thing preventing me from having what I wanted – was me!
After much trial and error, I learned that the first step in making change is to locate and understand the limiting beliefs that hold you back. If you think you don’t have any – boy, are you in for a big surprise!
I strongly recommend that you start your journey with the Beyond Belief – The Movie. Just click this link
The information presented by a host of teachers in Beyond Belief gave me a jump start to bringing change into every area of my life. Here are a few things I learned from watching Beyond Belief – just to get you started thinking.
Most of us walk through life unaware of the programming we’ve received since childhood – programming that leads to our beliefs of what we can and cannot do.
Much of what we come to believe about where we are or what we are, is not who we are.
Learn to question your thoughts.
Most of us are living in belief systems that tell us what we can and cannot do. Write out a list – The reason I can’t _______________ is…..
You will find you have lots of irrational thoughts – take a look at these unconscious beliefs and see that they are not true.
