“How do I get my life Back on Track?” asks Jenny
—————-
Now playing: AC/DC - It’s a Long Way to the Top
via FoxyTunes My mailbox received a message from Jenny.
Jenny asked simply “What is the number one most important step to getting your life back on track?
While the most important step for getting your life back on track would very much depend on the person and their unique set of circumstances I was able to reply and hopefully give Jenny an answer she could build from.
Here is my reply . . .
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Jenny
Thank you for requesting your copy of my ‘Getting Back on Track’ ePack and subscribing to my membership at NewEndBeginning.com.
I don’t know you or your specific situation - or even if you ask the question for yourself or if you have someone else in mind.
Here’s an idea based on something important to me and my overall recovery.
It has been instrumental in how I have been able to raise myself from the blackest hole of despair and how I am able to maintain a positive, prosperous and purposeful life today.
Begin to get your life back on track with Hope.
“Hope”. I would often read and hear other people say “You must have hope” and I would think “How can I have hope when I feel so hopeless!” Can you relate Jenny?
But here’s the good news. Don’t add any brain strain trying to “effort” the Hope into reality - no - doing that only made me feel worse.
Instead I discovered that when I repeated in my mind ”I’m WILLING to have Hope” - that’s when my despair started to fade!
Every day and many times throughout the day I would affirm “I’m WILLING to have Hope”. In fact I would repeat that affirmation in the first, second and third person - as follows:
“I am WILLING to have Hope” (1st person)
“You are WILLING to have Hope” (2nd person)
“He is WILLING to have Hope” (3rd person)
Jenny, being selectively willing in life opens not only your mind up to the possibilities all around you but it also - as if by miracle - opens the doors to all sorts of help and assistance from a multitude of sources and in other ways.
When you begin to be WILLING - you begin to be consciously aware of yourself as being WILLING.
You might need to read that sentence over a couple of times to really get a grasp of it.
The truth in that sentence is more powerful than you might think!
It’s like a weight coming off your shoulders.
Instead of beating yourself up and tearing yourself down with self-talk like “C’mon, make the effort to be more positive” and “If you would only try harder and get serious about this etc etc” you have the freedom to simply allow yourself to be WILLING to accept Hope as the starting point for a positive change of circumstances.
You can then begin to expand and grow your WILLINGNESS to include being WILLING to be stronger, happier, more positive, more organized or what ever else it is you feel you would like to include.
And so the ‘Ah-hah!’ moment in this message is the awareness that the beginning of getting your life back on track must start within.
One of my favourite sayings is ‘Begin all things with the end in mind”.
And so, when you begin to express your WILLINGNESS to find Hope, you do so with a forward focus toward a positive future.
The real key is seeing yourself as moving toward that which you desire and not as moving away from that which you don’t.
I wish I knew a little more of your situation Jenny so I could be more specific - however - I feel that because you had the motivation to seek an answer you have already turned a corner and created a new end beginning now!
May I recommend some helpful reading?
I want you to visit my friend Will Edwards at Whitedove Books.
Will expresses a genuine care for people in his work and you sense it when visiting his web site.

As you will see, Will has some great books which you can download for FR*E*E (isn’t that the best price to pay for anything?).
Well - that’s it Jenny. Thanks again for making contact with me.
I am willing to hope that you will drop me a line and let me know how you are getting along from time to time. I’d like that.
Happiness always and in all ways . . .

And that is where I left off with my reply to Jenny,
What about you. What would you have answered Jenny if she had emailed you with her question.
Do you have a story to share about how you are getting your life Back on Track? I’d love to hear it.
Regards
Michael Searles
