YOU GET WHAT YOU PROJECT

YOU GET WHAT YOU PROJECT

When we go to a cinema and watch a movie, we get to experience (in some way) what we are watching. Our lives are exactly the same. We all have a movie screen in front of us, throughout our lives. What we project up on to that screen is what we get to go through, what we experience.

 

I remember an interview I had quite a few years ago. There were ten people going for two positions and we were all in the waiting room together. I began talking to the other applicants while we were waiting and it became very clear, very quickly that most people were extremely nervous. 

From talking to them, I began to realise that most of them had a lot more experience than I did, but even so, they were worried about not getting the job. As the interviews started, people were invited into the interview room, and then after about twenty to thirty minutes, they would return and sit down again. I was the second last person to be interviewed.

 

As I was called in, I decided that even though I didn’t have as much experience as a lot of the other applicants, I was confident that I was going to get this job. I walked in there as if I had already been told that the job was mine.

 

They asked me a couple of questions and then after about ten minutes they thanked me and asked me to wait outside with the others. I was in there for only half the time the others were. I wasn’t sure what this meant but I knew I had done what I needed to do.

 

The panel came out after the last interview and announced the names of the two successful applicants. I was one of them. The others left and we were given our induction. During the induction one of the panel pulled me aside and told me she had never interviewed such a confident person. That’s why I wasn’t in there for so long and why I got the job. What I projected up on my screen is what I got to experience.

 

So what are you projecting up on your screen? Are you experiencing everything you want to experience in your life? If not then maybe it’s time to change the movie. Start projecting the movie you want to experience. You wouldn’t choose to go and watch a horror movie if you wanted to have a laugh and feel relaxed. So why would you choose to project a movie up on the screen of your life that you really don’t want to experience?

 

Change your thoughts and feelings, which will change your focus. You can’t project something unless you are thinking about it and really feel it. This communication within your mind, will control your inner projector.

TO MAKE A BANANA CAKE, YOU NEED BANANAS

To make banana cake, you need bananas

How many times have we been told that “you only get out of something what you put in”. Normally, this is directed towards motivation, but let me tell you now, it goes way beyond your level of effort. It refers to everything you put into your life. If you want a desired result, you must put the right things in.

Let’s say you wanted to bake a banana cake. You can combine the flour, eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla essence and any other ingredients you want, but unless you put in bananas, you are not going to get your desired outcome. Likewise, if you wanted make a mochaccino, but you didn’t put the chocolate in, you would finish up with a nice cup of cappuccino, but not what you actually wanted.

In life, this principle is exactly the same. If you want something in your life, you have to put the right ingredients in to  your life to get the outcome you desire. I made a decision quite a while ago that I wanted to live life with a positive and happy attitude. To achieve this I chose to only put positive things into my life. I would stop any negative input so I was only putting in the necessary ingredients.

I stopped reading newspapers and watching the news, because most of the news today is negative. I created playlists on my MP3 player with only fun and uplifting songs. I only watch comedy, motivational, educational and feel good movies. I surround myself with positive people and if I am in a conversation or situation that starts to become negative, I either change it or get out of it.

I am choosing what I put into my life. I can only get out of my life what I put in. So if I am only putting in positive, happy things into my life, I can only get out a positive, happy life. When I set goals in my life, I think “What ingredients do I need to add to my life so that I can achieve this goal?” Then comes the easy part. I only put in those things that are going to make my goal a reality

So here’s my challenge to you. For the next two weeks, consciously only have positive inputs coming into your life. Surround yourself with happy, positive situations and people. Do not allow negative things to come into your life. Choose what ingredients you are putting into your mixing bowl of life. Only watch television shows that make you laugh or feel good. Read books that you enjoy. And don’t watch or read the news.

Then after two weeks, notice how happier you are, how much more positive your life has become. You’ll have a different outlook on life. Your thoughts will be clearer and more focused. And remember, your thoughts become your actions. You cannot do something without thinking about it. Think about that for a second.

So if what you think is what you do, how much more positive will your behaviour be if you are thinking positively? How better will your life be when you can only be happy? And the most beautiful thing about this concept is that you get to choose the ingredients, the inputs. You get to design the life you want.

Enjoy your banana cake.
