Who Are You Being?

Do you know? You can look around your life and see who you're being. Look at your relationship with your spouse. If your in a happy, committed relationship, then you're being a happy, committed spouse. If you're angry and sick of your husband, who you're being is a frustrated wife.

The Be Do Have principles says that we must "become" what we want first, then do as that person would do, to have the results they would have.

Do you get it?

I think some people that really don't.It starts with your thoughts. When you think you can or can't do something you affirm it with your actions. The actual doing is the action based on your belief about yourself.

We all have these beliefs from the time we are born that are instilled in us from parents, from friends, from teachers....things that we start to believe about our ourselves.

We all have these beliefs and then we move through life with those beliefs. Sometimes they are wonderful beliefs about ourselves and sometimes they are limiting beliefs that we take to heart.

It reminds me of the quote from Mahatma Gandhi, "You must be the change you want to see in the world." I do understand that some people don't understand the Be Do Have principle because they want to have it first, then be the person. We must see it first. Start with seeing your goal first in your mind, then it shows up in the physical form.

For example: Sometimes people want to have the money in the bank, then be the millionaire. They want to see the money first, have the million dollars in the bank...and then they're the millionaire.

NO!

That's backwards!

You become the millionaire in your mind first. It happens with your thoughts. You move through life as the millionaire.

You start thinking like a millionaire. You start reading what a millionaire would read. You start having other conversations, finding other millionaires that you can mastermind with. Moving through life as a millionaire. Thinking those thoughts and then you are doing as the millionaire would do, you have what the millionaire has.

Then the money shows up in the bank account.

It reminds me of when I first moved to Texas in 1990. At that time I had played sports when I was younger but I was not very athletic. In fact, I was quite a couch potato in 1990.

I realized very quickly that I really needed to create something in my life to keep me in better shape.

I decided I was going to become a runner because there are lots of great races in the Austin area, lots of 5K and 10K races. The only thing is......

.....I didn't like to run.

So, what did I do?

I had to be the runner. I started thinking like a runner first. What do runners eat? When do they run? How far should I go? These are the questions I started to ask myself. I got some running shorts. I got some running shoes. I started getting Runner's World magazine. I started eating like a runner.....I began dressing like a runner. Then I started getting outside and actually running.

And guess what happened?

I became the runner! My body showed that I was a runner. I had better health. I was in better shape. I was active in races. I started thinking of myself as a runner. I started defining myself as a runner. When people would ask, "What's your hobby? What do you like to do?" I'm a runner.

It started with my thoughts. Making the decision that, that's who I was going to be.

Take a look at your life...who are you being?

Do you want different results? Then start with what you are thinking! You can become whoever you want to be. Want more love in your life? Be more loving. Want to quit smoking? Be the non-smoker in your thoughts first.

Opportunity: Decide what you want in your life and "BE" it first.

I'll look forward to hearing your results!
