Why Is My Life Turning to $%*t?
- by Tony Mase

Not long ago, I received the following question from one of my “Constructive Science” newsletter subscribers:
“Why does it seem that life gets so much worse whenever you want to/are making a life change and what can you do to make things flow easier? It is so discouraging.”
Good question and one I’ve been asked a number of times in several different ways over the last few years, all of which are reminiscent of one I used to ask myself:
Why does it seem like every time (not really “every time”, but it happened often enough that I was starting to think it was a “law” of some sort 
) I set a clear and definite vision of what I want and set out firmly in its direction does my life turn to $%*t?
After giving the subject a lot of thought, I came up with two possible reasons (there may be more, but these are the two “biggies” in my mind), one of which is more obvious than the other.
The first, and more obvious, possible reason is that while you may have a clear and definite vision of what you want in mind, you’re thinking $%*t and acting in accordance with those thoughts and thus, to put it bluntly, creating $%*t in your life, regardless of what your “vision” may call for.
If that’s the case…
You need to bring your thoughts and actions consistently (the key word here being *consistently*) in line with your vision.
The formula is simple:
Constructive Thought + Constructive Action = Success
Success being getting what you want.
That being said…
If you’re thinking and acting constructively…
There’s a second possible reason, which, in my own experience, I’ve often found to be the case when I’ve encountered this little “experience”.
In Chapter 13 of “The Science of Being Great” (Thought), Wallace D. Wattles wrote:
“There is, as Emerson says, some central idea or conception of yourself by which all the facts of your life are arranged and classified. Change this central idea and you change the arrangement or classification of all the facts and circumstances of your life.”
When you create a new vision and set out in its direction, you’re changing the “central idea” of your life and setting into motion the rearrangement or reclassification “of all the facts and circumstances of your life”, which as orderly as it all may seem to the Universe (and I’m quite sure it is), may appear (the key word here being *appear*) to you as your life turning to $%*t.
This is where faith comes into play, for as Wallace D. Wattles put in Lesson 10 of “The Personal Power Course” (Opportunity):
“If you keep this faith…”
The faith that you not only can and will get what you want, but *ARE* getting what you want…
“… no matter how circumstances may combine against you, you will find that the difficulties are only apparent. When one road is closed to you, it will be because another and better one is to be opened. When you do not get the thing you hoped for, it will be because a better thing is being brought to you. Never be disappointed; know that every seeming reverse is the prelude to something better than you hoped for. If you move forward in the manner described in these lessons, life will be a continuous series of surprises, in that you will always be getting something better than what you expected.”
Therefore…
If (a big *IF*) you’re consistently thinking and acting constructively (if you’re not then that’s where you need to start) toward what you want and your life “appears” (the key word here being *appears*) to be turning to $%*t in the process…
With the above Wallace D. Wattles quote in mind…
The best advice I could possibly give you is that put forth by Wallace D. Wattles (also in Lesson 10 of “The Personal Power Course”):
“Have faith, and MOVE ON.”
One of my all-time favorite Wallace D. Wattles quotes.
I don’t know that there’s necessarily any way make the whole process of getting what you want “flow easier”, but I do know FAITH and ACTION will *ALWAYS* get you what you want (or something a whole heck of a lot better than what you originally had in mind )…
So…
“Have faith, and MOVE ON.”
I hope this helps.

I have another article for you from Tony Mase. I hope you enjoy it.
Mind Power Techniques – 3 Subconscious Mind Power Techniques That Don’t Work
- by Tony Mase
© Tony Mase – All Rights Reserved Personal Power Course
Self-help books, programs, seminars, and websites abound with all sorts of nifty sounding mind power techniques said to influence the “hidden” power of your subconscious mind to a desired end result. Some of them work and some of them don’t work, while still others work or don’t work depending on how you use them…
Here are three frequently recommended subconscious mind power techniques that either don’t work at all or don’t work the way most people use them:
Mind Power Technique #1 – Affirmations
Affirmations or self-affirmations, as some refer to them, are essentially a first person, present tense statement made by yourself to yourself “affirming” what you want to be, do, or have as your already accomplished reality. “I am rich”, “I am well”, and “I have a great memory” are but just a few examples.
Depending on how you use them, affirmations work or don’t work. Used the way most people use them, merely repeating strings of words over and over again, they have little, if any, effect on the subconscious. Used properly, however, they can have a very powerful effect.
Mind Power Technique #2 – Subliminal Programming
Subliminal, meaning literally “below threshold”, according to Wikipedia, CDs, DVDs, and even software, are touted to produce change effortlessly by delivering images or messages directly to your subconscious mind. You’ll see these programs all over the place nowadays. Popular topics include build self-esteem, lose weight, and stop smoking, just to name a few.
Maybe these subliminal programs work for some folks, though I’ve yet to meet anyone they’ve worked for, but I experimented with these on and off for years, back when they were pretty much only available on cassette tape (remember those?), and, quite frankly, they never had any effect on me whatsoever. Neither, for that matter, did so-called “self-hypnosis” programs.
Mind Power Technique #3 – Create a “Positive” Environment
The idea here is, I’m told, is that by surrounding yourself with “positive”, “motivational” signs, posters, and other “reminders” at home and at work, their messages will somehow magically “seep” into your subconscious mind and thus “energize” you and effect “positive” change in your life.
Another one of those techniques that sounds good in theory, my personal experience with such “reminders” over the years tells me they have little, if any, effect on the subconscious mind. As a matter of fact, some of the biggest procrastinators I know have signs on their desks that read “Do It Now!” in great big letters. That alone out to tell you something.
Affirmations, at least the way most people use them, subliminal programming, and creating a “positive” environment are but three of the many mind power techniques that don’t work and thus are a total waste of time, money, and/or effort. Fortunately, however, there are very powerful techniques you can use to unleash the unlimited power of your subconscious and direct it to any end result you desire.

The Internet is just chock full of advice about how to create abundance and prosperity in your life, some of it good and some of it, well let’s just say, not so good…
Here are three abundance and prosperity “techniques” you’ll find all over the place “out there”, which just plain don’t work or, at best, don’t work near as well as some would have you believe they do:
Abundance and Prosperity Technique #1 – Vision Boards and Vision Boxes
A “vision board” is essentially a poster or collage with, more often than not, a hodgepodge of pictures pasted on it of all the things you want and/or representing what your life will be like when you get what you want, usually accompanied by all sorts of “affirmations” and cutesy sayings.
Somewhat of a variation on the theme, a “vision box” is essentially a box in which you put things representing the things you want.
Here’s the deal…
To become your reality…
Your “vision” needs to be in your head as *your* already accomplished reality, not on a “board”, which quickly becomes like wallpaper you don’t even notice after awhile, or in a “box”, where it’s out of sight and thus, quickly forgotten.
Abundance and Prosperity Technique #2 – Gratitude Crystals and Gratitude Stones
A gratitude crystal or gratitude stone, which all sorts of presumably well-meaning folks out there would be glad to sell you, is a “special” crystal or stone you carry around with you and whenever you touch it, you think of something to be grateful for.
Why not just start being grateful and expressing your gratitude?
Don’t know where to start?
Well…
If you believe as I do that all is one and one is all, that everything is just a manifestation of one thing, why not start by saying thank you to others when they do something for you or give you something?
As my son, in all his youthful wisdom, once informed me, when we were discussing the subject, saying thank you to one is saying thank you to all.
Hmmm…
And he doesn’t even have a gratitude crystal or stone.
Abundance and Prosperity Technique #3 – Looking for Money on the Ground
My personal favorite…
I guess the thought here is God just sits around all day plopping money on the ground for you to find and you can, so they tell me, “train yourself to receive” by looking for it.
The fact of the matter is someone lost that money and you’re just training yourself to, if I may be so blunt, steal!
Here’s a novel idea…
Why not “train yourself” to *GIVE* instead?
Then you’ll be setting yourself up to receive *real* abundance and prosperity in your life, the kind that lasts!
Vision boards and vision boxes, gratitude crystals and gratitude stones, and looking for money on the ground may sound good in theory, but the reality is they just plain don’t work, or at best, don’t work near as well as some would have you believe they do.
