Growing up, whenever I did something that did not meet the expectations of someone else I heard “What’s WRONG with you?” (I cringe when I think how many times I’ve said this to my own children!!!)In my work, I often help my clients clear blocks to their success by shifting their mindset (beliefs they have about themselves, life and what is possible for them, that they may not be aware of, and that are not in alignment with who they truly are!).
I have come to realize that many of us were subtly (and unintentionally) conditioned to believe that something is WRONG with us. When things are not going your way, when you are not achieving the success you desire – whether it is finding happiness, attracting money, love, friendship, clients – the default thinking is “something is wrong”. Unfortunately, this very default track focuses the mind on finding what is “wrong” (so we can fix it) and by the very nature of the law of attraction, we continue to attract more of what’s WRONG!
I guarantee you, if you make this your new default thinking, you will experience miracles = A shift in perception(as defined in A Course in Miracles).
Helen, you are masterful at catching the hidden yet common words One speaks. When thinking about your thoughts here, I realized that I do say that – ‘what’s wrong with me’, even light heartedly. Mmm . . . programmed and subtle. Thanks for the alert!
Our self talk is o so subtle and powerful.

If the world was filled with positive thinking and gratitude and love just think what a wonderful place it would be. Thanks for encouraging me to think about the rightness of me!
