Episode Details

When you think of what you don't want, do you compare it to something that you don't have? For example, do you say I sure wish I had a better car. And yet, what that really means is that I do not like the car I have. If you say I wish I were happier, could it mean that you're really saying, I do not like how life is going, if your dominant emotion is what you do not have, believe me, you will get more of what you do not have. That's because your emotions are rewarded, not your words. So just saying what you want doesn't work. It's called faith. If you want a better life, then you have to choose to feel the emotions that you want to add before you have them. Most of us wait for things to show up to make us happy. But actually, if you're happy before things happen, you'll get more of what you like, because happiness preceding the event makes you happier. Why do you wait for an event or something to happen to be happy, you can choose to be happy, you can choose to feel joy, you can choose as if those things are already true, even though they're not. Because that's called faith. And when you do that, it creates an amazing thing on the inside of you. You actually draw more and more of that happiness and joy and the things that you're wanting to you. That's because it actually is manifest when you have the emotions in advance. Because again, your emotions are rewarded. That's how I meditate. I feel as if it's already true. And it manifests in my world. Hi, love you. I'm Dan Clark.
