As you Wish….Create your Life
By karen | November 22, 2006
Your thoughts create the life that you lead. Think about what you want and how you want your life to be and you’ll create the life of your dreams. Sounds simple. But how simple is it really?
Often our thoughts become so habitual that they are just unconscious. We don’t realize that what we are thinking is not really what we want just because we have become so used to thinking it. When brought to our attention we say “I would never think THAT” “THAT is not what I want.” Well, of course not. But our habitual thoughts can create our lives by default. To create the life you want you need to create by deliberate intent.
So how can we uncover those sneaky thoughts that are stealing away our dreams without us even knowing it? How can we consciously think only of what we want and not of what we don’t want when we don’t even realize that we are doing it?
I found a tool today. It’s fun and I laughed at its simplicity. Just a game you can play and you will clearly see when the habitual thought you have been thinking is not serving you. For awhile, an afternoon or a day or an hour or even a minute just add the phrase “As you wish” to the end of your thought. Here are some examples…
“Those kids never clean up their messes”…As you wish…
“I can’t stop eating those cookies”…As you wish….
“I’ll never be able to wear those pants again, I am too fat”….As you wish…
“I don’t have the money to pay for that”….As you wish…
“I can’t break this habit, it has control over me”…As you wish….
“I never have time to do what I want”….As you wish….
NO, NO, NO of course you do not “Wish” for any of those things! But you were still thinking them! And you are creating your life by your thoughts! Whoa!
So the “As you Wish” game just lets you know how ridiculous and how off base some of your habitual thoughts are. And as you are able to identify those disempowering thoughts you are then in a position to change them and therefore create the life that you want by your deliberate intent and no longer by default.
So now…
“I love my kids and they are great about cleaning up their messes” …As you wish…
” I enjoyed one cookie but I do not want anymore”…..As you wish….
” I will wear those pants again next month because I am healthy and thin”….As you wish…
“Money is pouring into my life in avalanches of abundance”…As you wish…
“I use my time wisely and I always have the time to do what I want to do”…As you wish…
You can so clearly see the difference when you think about it in this way. What thought feels good? What thought creates the life that you want?
Just play the game “As you wish”!

Hi Karen:
I love the fact of playing our OWN Genie…..yes, our life is a beautiful, magical and loving game; I know at times I take myself way too serious, this is a simple and profound exercise to “play” and manifest with. Much gratitude & Happy New Now!!!

That is a fun game, especially when you play it positively. Great share.

[…] I struggle with keeping my thoughts positive often. I have improved dramatically and I am getting better and better but occasionally those nagging thoughts of doubt and despair and negativity creep in. And then there are those habitual thoughts that you don’t even realize are negative! But recently I came across a fun little game to expose those thoughts. It really works! I wrote about it at Your Thoughts Create Your Life Please go read it. It is worth your time. […]

What a great way to point out the absurdity of our negative thoughts. Doing this enough could certainly make you realize what you just thought.

Hello Karen,
I think your website and information is fantastic. Probably helps many people every day. I was just wondering with what you already know, if you like to take this further, I would like to suggest you look into 2 things - Bob Proctor’s materials: LifeSuccess Consulting and the home study program The Science of Getting Rich. That will give you the last edge of what feel is missing in your publications. Once you truly understand how we think, you can never go back to ‘normal’ living, plus with the probably large amount of people visitin your sie, you can give them even more and help change the face of the Earth and business, as I am doing here in Phoenix. Most importantly is to change the face of the future for our kids and teenagers. Bob has pretty soon an answer for that as well. If you ever feel like talking, please call me (480) 899 4474. I look forward hearing from you. Keep going in ‘thinking’ your life. Greetz, Elvire

Elvire, Eileen and Sonu…..
Thank you, thank you for expressing your appreciation. It means more than I can even express!
Elvire, I actually have a few of Bob Proctor’s materials and a friend who is a “Life Consultant”
