Make-Believing
By Ringer in Knowledge is power- if you use it- keep it to yourself and it's worthless.

How do you get yourself to the point of believing differently? You start by make-believing. You pretend to be a child and laugh out loud like an idiot, go as far as throwing a tantrum like a kid, all the while, you are make-believing. According to one of the greatest books ever written, The Bible reads in Matthew: “Believe you have already received and it will be given unto you.”
Look at it this way, we plan trips to Disney World and imagine what our room at the Animal Kingdom looks like- long before we arrive in Florida. If you’ve won the lottery or a large inheritance, even before you received the money, you knew it was yours. Most of us hold back and feel it’s a crime to allow ourselves to believe we are worthy of such great things. But if you allow yourself to pretend and make-believe and you feel like you have what it is you want; you have begun to believe, differently.
There’s a truth deep inside each of us that’s waiting to be discovered. It’s a part of life. It’s a part of who you are. Up until now you may have been thinking life is hard and a struggle, and so because you believed this, life is hard and you struggle! Begin right now to shout out differently, “Life is easy! Life is good! Good things happen to me!” Scream it out-loud!
All it takes to believe differently, is to make-believe in something new.

T3H- well said-and I completely agree...
May 14, 2009 at 2:13 p.m.Honestly, I don't think I'd want to feel that life is "easy."
Yes, the possibility of life being easy is there. The possibility of a good life is there. Good things happen to people... that is definately possible.
Somethings in life are hard and somethings people struggle with.
I enjoy thinking how things would be like if such and such were true and happened, but I don't LIVE in those thoughts.
Easy and hard. . . good and bad. . . they are all relative to each other and you can't have one without the other.
If we took all that can be considered bad today and wiped it out in the future and nothing except what we now consider good exists, some of the things we now consider "good" can be labeled as "bad" in that future.
I've tried this method before, in aspects of my life ranging from my own beliefs to my financial situation. For me, as pleasent as it may be to imagine it, imagination and trying to force that imagination on myself doesn't work. That is not how I, as an individual, operate.
I know I don't speak for everyone when I say that I don't want life to be easy. I know that I'm speaking for myself and myself alone. Frankly, I think that if my life were to suddenly turn "easy," I'd be bored out of my skull.
If the make-believe method works for you, go for it. If you're not sure but want to try it, I encourage you to at least try. Humans have done amazing things in history with hope as the driving force to making those things happen. Even someone such as myself has hope. I can't deny that. However, for me, I find that in order to make things happen, both hope and action need to be utilized and I can't rely on hope alone.
I'm not trying to disprove your method, Ringer, because I think there are people that can benefit from it and I think it's awesome if they can. I'm just saying that it doesn't work for everyone.
May 14, 2009 at 2:06 p.m.I never said you were being mean, I could care less. However, I do care about your perception of what I’ve written and defending the blog. I think we’d all agree you’re no optimist. Knowing this, leads me to believe you see EVERYTHING different than me and I’m ok with that.
I’ll agree, this process DOES NOT take place over night but it can be done. The just of the exercise is to train your mind to believe DIFFERENLY and training takes time. With all its ups and downs it does take a “willing” person to engage this belief as well. A person looking for temporary relief of a given situation, you might agree, often fails.
