7 Self-Concepts to Create a Great Life

Want to give the biggest boost to your specific manifestations?

Change your beliefs about life itself.

Many of you asked me where to start re-structuring one’s belief system.

In my opinion, your general beliefs about how life is treating you and/or how life is going for you are the best place to begin.

After all, why do you want to be happily married? Or be a phenomenal success in your career? Or have money fall into your lap?

Isn’t it because you want to have a life that you are happy with? Or a life you are proud of?

It became popular to affirm that “I am the main character.” But what kind of movie are you the main character of?

If your life is a motion picture, then your beliefs about your life make up its genre. So make sure you are starring in the right movie.

A love story in a drama will end differently than in a romantic comedy. Winning the lottery in a thriller will have different implications than in an adventure movie.

Don’t waste your time trying to act fabulously in a bad film.

“It’s possible for me to make a bad movie out of a good script, but I can’t make a good movie from a bad script.” – George Clooney

Change the overall quality of the movie of your life by adopting the following – or similar – self-concepts:

I am winning at life.

Isn’t winning the game of life everyone’s ultimate goal? To achieve everything you want, to have everything going your way?

If yes, wouldn’t it make sense to lock in this ultimate success with a matching self-concept? Worth the effort, don’t you think?

I am the luckiest man/woman alive.

It’s time to stop wishing for luck. Turn yourself into your own lucky charm and generate it for yourself from an endless supply.

Luck is only elusive for those who don’t know about the law of assumption. So be smart, and don’t leave a lot of wonderful things and experiences on the table by not identifying as a lucky person.

Winning money, finding parking spots, getting an easy topic on an important exam, etc. all could be materialized by this catch-all self-concept.

I am worthy and deserving of the very best in life.

Some say you don’t need to affirm your worth as we were all born worthy. I dissent.

Although we all came out from our mothers’ wombs worthy of everything we desire, we often hear it otherwise throughout the course of our lives (e.g., “You are just as worthless as your cheating father”).

We also tend to fall into the trap of tying our worthiness to external conditions (e.g., “I’m not worthy until I have a degree from an Ivy League school”) or see it lost due to some past behaviors/experiences we are not proud of (e.g., “I’m not worthy to marry a prince because I was abused sexually as a kid”).

Of course, the insults of our parents (or peers) and bad life experiences don’t make us automatically unworthy. Only our thinking has such power.

When we mentally identify with the criticism and the bad life events, we create imaginary chains in our lives and often internalize the belief that we are not worthy of what we want.

The good news is that we can break free from these chains by re-claiming our inherent worth.

I always get exactly what I want.

Ah, the feeling of getting exactly what you want! There is nothing like it.

Of course, you are free to affirm that you always get something even better than you wanted.

However, receiving exactly what you wanted – that experience leaves a taste of absolute control in your mouth. It makes you feel like you are the ultimate ruler of your matrix.

I can be/do/have anything I want.

Don’t sleep on this one! 99% of people were raised to buy into the opposite of this belief.

Society loves to spread the false message that the color of your skin, your gender, your birth country, your horoscope, your natal chart, your height, your age, your work experience, your level of talent, etc. is an insurmountable obstacle blocking you from living your dream life.

The truth is that none of these external qualities matter – as long as you think they don’t. The moment you believe society’s false messaging and label them as “blocks” or “obstacles” is the moment you give them creative power.

So flip the script on society and start claiming that you can be anything you want.   

I am successful at everything I do.

I love this one because it covers every endeavor of a person’s life.

Just imagine what a relief it will be to sit down to study for an exam or start a career, knowing that you will surely succeed!

If you are tired of failing, it’s time to put the wind in your sails by assuming having Midas touch.

Everything is always working out in my favor.

This one transforms seemingly bad circumstances into good – or neutral – ones.

For example, let’s say you are heading to the airport to catch a plane to Bora Bora – your dream vacation place. However, you get caught in traffic and arrive at the airport after your plane’s departure. You are angry and irritated until you hear in the news that the airplane you missed crashed due to technical issues.

Now, some of you will ask: can’t we avoid bad circumstances altogether?

Here is the problem. The subconscious doesn’t care about good and bad. These are labels used by the conscious mind.

The subconscious mind is very task-oriented and always creates circumstances that it deems effective to complete its task.

Based on the task at hand, the subconscious creates two types of circumstances.

First, it constantly creates “end” circumstances that prove to us the “truth” of our beliefs.

For example, if someone believes that he is very unlucky, he will create a lot of “bad” circumstances to confirm this belief. He may break his leg before an important football match, lose his passport before traveling internationally, get caught in traffic jams all the time, etc.

We can totally avoid these types of bad circumstances by upgrading our beliefs.

Second, our subconscious creates “transitionary” circumstances.

These will either 1) help us realize our specific desires (e.g. getting invited to a party where we meet our future spouse) or 2) lead us to an “end” circumstance that proves to us the “truth” of our beliefs (e.g. getting caught in traffic and thus avoiding a fatal plane crash – proving to ourselves that everything is always working out in our favor, we are always safe, and lucky.)

Now, sometimes these “transitionary” circumstances are not so enjoyable.

For example, we could meet our future spouse by bumping into their car. Or avoid a fatal plane crash by having to stay at home to tend to a flooding issue in our garage.

We can definitely mitigate these types of “bad” circumstances by having a good self-concept but trying to completely evade them could be futile since “to an assumption all means which promote its realization are good.” Neville Goddard – Out of this World, Chapter 1

The bottom line is believing that everything is always working out in your favor will save you from a lot of unnecessary worrying and stress.

 

Let’s review what I have suggested to you so far and look at some frequently asked questions.

To have a wonderful life, I recommend you internalize at least one of the above-discussed self-concepts.

Can you do more than one? Of course! In this case, the more is better.

Also, keep in mind that you need to claim these self-concepts on a daily basis. Not just once in a blue moon. Consistent repetition is essential to re-wiring your subconscious mind. I can’t emphasize this enough. If you want big, life-changing results, no skipping days or stopping after two weeks.

I  recommend you take up the challenge of repeating at least one of these every day for a whole year and see how much your life has changed in a mere 365 days.
