An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me… it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

“One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt and resentment.

“The other wolf represents love, joy, peace, hope, truth, kindness, humility, compassion, and faith.

“This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.”

The children thought it over and then asked their grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The grandfather simply replied, “The one you feed.”

From the [tag]law of attraction[/tag] perspective, what you feed (or focus on) is important because whatever you think about is drawn to you: Wherever your thoughts dwell there is a certain energy. Once you are aware of this, you can ask: is this the energy I want to feed? 

There are two strategies I know of that work well to refocus your energy:

1. Forgiving the past. Sometimes that seems like the hardest thing in the world to do. But releasing painful past memories can happen very quickly. 
2. Focus on gratitude for all that life has brought you – the good and the not so good – because both are part of who you are today.  As you focus on what is working well in your life, you attract more of that energy and there begins to be more in your life to be grateful for. Why not start a [tag]gratitude[/tag] journal today?

Many of us are programmed to not fully take in our successes. We leap too quickly to the next goal without taking time to celebrate our achievements. What effect do you think this might have on your ability to manifest? What message might you be sending your soul?  That what you achieved in the past isn’t worth anything and maybe didn’t even really happen. When you do not take time to really acknowledge what you have done, it is almost as if your subconscious doesn’t accept it.

To install a ‘success template’ in your life it is valuable to acknowledge the achievements in your life. When  you fully take in where you started from and where you are now, you begin to establish the structure that creates the next level of success. If you still feel your accomplishments are not worth anything, consider this quote:

How would we think and act in daily life if we were truly aware of our Divine essence? Obviously there wouldn’t be room to reproach ourselves because we wouldn’t doubt our abilities. In fact, we’d never look in the mirror and feel anything but love and appreciation: We’d see ourselves as fully capable of attracting all we desire; we’d treat our body with reverence and care, giving thanks for its Divine design; we’d celebrate every thought we have, knowing its Divine origin; and we’d become aware of our enormous talents and be awed by all that we are. 

Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling, Dr. Wayne W Dyer.

 

To build your success template make a list of all of your achievements, as far back as you can remember.  You might wish to keep this in a special journal and keep adding to it. At the end of the year, instead of writing New Year Resolutions, review your achievement journal, or your [tag]gratitude[/tag] journal and look to see what you wish to manifest for the year ahead.

Seeing all that you are in your Divine essence written in one place is very powerful and grounding. It will shift your subconscious and help you build the next step, send your energy forward and help manifest what you desire into your life.
