What stops you from achieving your goals?

Do you believe that your goals are realistic? Yes! - then that’s not the problem’! Have you made a real plan and applied effort towards achieving them? Yes! – That’s probably not the problem either! So what’s the problem? Why aren't you achieving your goals and dreams?

One thing is for sure; you haven’t failed – not unless you have completely given up. There must be other factors affecting the outcome! There is a very high chance that the problem lays silent, but very active within!



It has been said that ‘we are our own worst enemy’. It may be more accurate to say that our ‘negative subconscious thought patterns’ are our worst enemy. They quietly fester away generating outcomes that can often totally sabotage any conscious positive thoughts, goals and dreams. They have the ability to make some people’s lives unbearably hard, so hard that they get to a point of giving up, even on life. Who needs enemies when we have these types of negatives running undetected and rampant in our subconscious? We need to expose or recognise these subconscious thought patterns to be able to change them into positive patterns.

How does changing our negative subconscious thought patterns affect how we can achieve our goals? It means that we start swimming with the tide of change instead of against it or (to use another analogy); we start swimming downstream instead of upstream! This greatly enhances our ability to change for the better. Most people’s biggest stumbling blocks to change are these negative subconscious thought patterns that are hindering and in some cases; destroying our ability to create what we want.

Negative conscious thought patterns are destructive enough but at least we are aware of them (if we choose to look). These subconscious thought patterns are much more obstructive and even devastating because we are not aware of them. These patterns can run unbridled, causing all sorts of problems. Humans tend to blame the outside world and other people for the obstacles or emotional pain that they face nearly every day. They are looking in the wrong place. The main generators of their problems lay hidden in their subconscious and unfortunately; not many know how to uncover and monitor them. Most of us know and have experienced the reality that ‘positive thinking’ will generate positive outcomes. What is not so readily understood is; that this will only work if the energy created by those positive thoughts is stronger than any negative subconscious thought patterns that are creating an opposite outcome. When there are two conflicting energies being generated by the mind; the strongest will always win! It does not matter what level these thought patterns are being generated on – conscious or subconscious. If you have tried to positively create something and it did not come into fruition; it does not necessarily mean that you have not done it right or that you are a failure. It is more likely to mean that you have a negative subconscious thought pattern generating a different outcome.

We can imprint new beliefs into our ‘long term memory’ to effect change in our beliefs. People can do this through concentrated mind activities such as prayer, meditation, repeating thought patterns such as through affirmations. There are also several healing techniques that can be self administered. All these have shown to be effective on some level. These methods are great if they work and still holding after a year or more. If they are slowly becoming less effective or do not work at all; then it is highly likely that there is a subconscious thought pattern creating a different outcome. These negative thoughts will keep on generating negative energy and creating negative outcomes until you either change them; or die. Changing them sounds like a much better option to me!

It is possible to change these sublime negative patterns. We need to be able to identify them – recognise the belief systems that are creating them - understand the origins of the belief system. Then we can move into the healing process of changing or transmuting the beliefs. We can only heal something to the level that we understand it or are ready to surrender to, or accept it.

This whole process of tackling our negative subconscious thought patterns is a little more complex than the last paragraph suggests.
