A friend of mine came to stay recently and she reminded me that we all live our own 'story'. Some people forget that it is THEIR story and that they have the power to change it.

For one client I saw last week, her story is very much one of scarcity. 'I don't have enough time or money to take my business to the next level.'

'If I leave my job, I won't have the security of a monthly salary and I might not be able to pay my rent.'

In NLP, we call this living at 'effect' of your circumstances. This means that you are giving away your power by not taking responsibility for your situation.

I am a strong believer in the philosophy that thoughts become things.

Whatever your beliefs, I'd like you to imagine an all-seeing being looking down on you, hearing your thoughts and witnessing your resulting situation. What would they see? What guidance would they give you?

Look around you at your home, your bank balance, your place of work, your relationships. Do you like what you see?

If, like me, you believe that your external world is a reflection of your internal world, what is it that you need to change?
