You've heard that old saying: 
"If you put your mind to something you can achieve it."  
But no one ever taught you how to really put your mind 
to something so that you do achieve it.  
Yes you can achieve anything if you instruct 
your mind and subconscious mind properly. 
Unfortunately most people don't know how 
to instruct their mind or subconscious mind so they 
never end up achieving what they really want. 
Instead, they end up getting their mind and 
subconscious to create things they really don't want.  
If you don't direct your mind and subconscious mind 
to focus on what you want, you'll likely end up 
getting what you don't want, it's really that simple.  
How can you stop creating what you don't want and 
get your mind and subconscious mind to actually work for you?
Most people don't control their mind; they don't instruct their subconscious mind
because they don't control their thoughts. 
Most people are not even aware of the thoughts they have everyday, 
and they don't choose their beliefs.  
Instead you mind constantly sends the wrong messages 
or wrong instructions to your subconscious mind. 
And that's how you end up creating the life you don't want.  
You want to be successful and happy, so do you have thoughts 
and beliefs that reflect success and happiness. 
You don't actively choose your thoughts. 
Instead you leave your mind on autopilot, accepting whatever 
thoughts it conjures up and then you begin to believe these thoughts. 
You don't choose your beliefs; you merely accept what your mind 
and what other people tell you. 
You may want to be successful and happy. 
You may do everything you can to be successful and happy. 
But if you're not enjoying the success and happiness you want 
then take a moment to analyze your thoughts and beliefs.  
You'll find that what you think is the exact opposite 
of what you want to achieve.  
Sure you want to be successful but you really don't have 
any thoughts or beliefs that suggest you can be successful. 
Whatever you want to achieve you can if you have a 
belief system that allows you to succeed.  
If you want to make more money you have to have a belief 
system that says you believe you can make more money.  
If you want to meet the right person you have to 
believe that you can meet the right person.  
If you want to succeed at something you have to 
believe that you can succeed at it. 
So how do you create beliefs that correspond with what 
you want to accomplish? 
First think about what you want to achieve. 
Then ask yourself if you really believe that 
you can accomplish your goal.  
If you don't believe you can there's work to do 
and you're going to have to change your belief 
system so that it allows you to succeed. 
To change your belief system you have to analyze 
your thoughts. 
List all the thoughts and beliefs that you have about 
achieving that goal.
For example: if you want to make more money but you're 
not making the kind of money you want then list why 
you don't think you can make more money. 
Now change those thoughts to correspond with what you want. 
These are your new thoughts, statements or affirmations 
that you should think and recite through out the day. 
Replace those limiting thoughts with these new thoughts. 
If you want to achieve success and happiness then you 
have to create thoughts and beliefs that will allow 
you to achieve those goals. 
Begin changing your thoughts. 
Begin creating beliefs that work for you. 
Eliminate the negative thoughts and beliefs. Think of your mind as a station that sends out 
energy signals. 
These energy signals are your thoughts and beliefs. 
These energy patterns are picked up by your subconscious mind 
which then goes out and creates the situations, 
circumstances, and events to help you achieve what ever 
your thoughts and beliefs are. 
It also attracts the people to you and guides you to 
the people that can help you achieve your goals. 
The subconscious does not distinguish between what is 
good and bad for you. It simply acts on your instructions. 
Those instructions are your energy signals which 
are your thoughts and beliefs.
So while you may want to achieve a certain goal, 
if you don't believe that you can, if you regularly 
think about why you can't do something instead 
of why you can, then you are instructing your 
subconscious to create situations for you so that 
you don't achieve your goals.
This is why it is so important to eliminate negative 
thinking and create a positive thinking pattern.
