Money

I was listening to Wayne Dyer on cd this morning on my way into work.

He posed two very interesting questions I would like to pass on to you.

 

If there were no such thing as money, what would you be doing?

What would you be working at? 

I would like to add to this, then why are you not pursuing this because in today’s world we can make money at anything? 

Follow your passion and make a living doing it.  No excuses!!

Sacrifice

Once we have defined our worthy ideals and begin our move toward them we can expect a certain amount of turmoil and resistance. For change, (growth), very seldom comes without cost. We cannot grow without leaving behind what has previously defined our existence. In order to create new we discard the old. This is one of the principles upon which our universe is governed.

It is as sound as any mathematical equation. 

Move a little – sacrifice little

Move a lot -- sacrifice much. 

It is important we ask our self – what am I willing to give up to advance toward my intentions? 

Many whom we may have considered close friends may reject our transformation, even family members may choose not accept change.  Their narrowness of thought, ego being their dominating force, keeps them bound, unable to accept change.  This is unfortunate but realize it is their choice not yours.   

“Men are not disturbed by the things that happen, but by their opinion of the things that happen.” - Epictetus 

You act and feel, not according to what things are really like, but according to the image your mind holds of what they are like. - Maxwell Maltz 

Re-Visit...Re-Focus

Conversations with several people over the last week have prompted this repost from last July.

Where Am I Going?

Set aside some time this week to discover who you are and why you are here. Too many of us travel through life without ever knowing who we really are and what our purpose is. Yes we have all at times wondered why we are here and what we would like to do with our lives or where our lives are taking us, (instead of us directing our lives to take us where we want), and wondering where we might be five or ten years from now. So many of us drift along going with the flow letting our circumstances and environment dictate our actions and therefore results. It is kind of like leaving on a trip without really knowing where you are going or will end up. Generally when we plan a trip we know where we are going, why we are going, how we will get there, things we are going to do and see when we are there and any necessary preparations required ahead of time. Why do we spend more time planning a trip than we do our lives? Is life not just a trip of another kind? Does it not deserve at least as much planning as your next vacation?

Here are some questions to help you get started. If you think of other relevant questions that have meaning for you leading to a positive corollary, by all means add them.

What am I?

Am I my name? Am I my body? Am I the things I have accumulated?

Or am I much more than this?

What defines me?

What are my beliefs? How did I come to believe what I do? Is it someone else’s belief I have accepted as truth or my own? How would other people define me? Am I my own person or am I trying to please everyone by being the type of person they think I should be? Do I need to revisit and look at some of my beliefs differently? How?

What do I want from life?

What are my passions? What would be my ideal life if nothing were impossible? What type of person has this life? Do my beliefs harmonize with this type of person? What changes must I make to become this type of person? How will I make these changes? What limits do I impose upon myself and how will I eliminate them?

What is my purpose?

How will I develop and use my passions, (talents, gifts), throughout my life to help others? How will I give back?

“Nothing is impossible to the mind. All its guidance and power are available to you. When you have fully realized THOUGHT CAUSES ALL, you will know there will never be any limits that you yourself do not impose.” - U. S. Anderson

I lay on a rock
I looked into a stream
And lo
I became aware
I don’t need to struggle

Religious

Spirit unites

Religion segregates 

Spirit does not judge

Religion compares 

Spirit is forgiving

Religion condemns 

Spirit is of God

Religion believes in a God 

Spirit is Universal Intelligence

Religion is man 

Spirit is freeing

Religion controlling 

Spirit is wholeness

Religions are pieces 

Spirit accepts all

Religion accepts few 

Spirit is natural

Religion is forced 

Spirit is power through giving and love
Religion is power through greed and good intention 

These things from ancient times arise from one:

The sky is whole and clear

The earth is whole and firm

The spirit is whole and full 

When man interferes with the Tao

The sky becomes filthy

The earth becomes depleted

The equilibrium crumbles

Creatures become extinct 

From the 39^th verse of the Tao Te Ching

Fluff and Nonsense

Fluff and Nonsense 

I looked around to see what stirs comment

And here is what I found

It’s fluff and it’s flimsy and not very sound 

We comment on heresay, on gossip and smut

On lives gone awry and things gone amuck 

Ego loves to point fingers, to belittle and such

To speak of misfortune, the like there is much 

Ego dwells around the husk, avoiding the core

For that would demand thought, a laborious chore 

Ego goes silent when challenged with substance,

Individualized thinking can be such a nuisance 

So let us discuss Tiger, the score, and the soaps

Perhaps the latest fads, the weather and horoscopes 

To this end we’ll fashion our lives

And wonder why God doesn’t hear our cries
 

The great master follows his own nature

and not the trappings of life.

It is said:

“He stays with the fruit and not the fluff.”

“He stays with the firm and not the flimsy.”

“He stays with the true and not the false.” 

From the 38^th verse of the Tao Te Ching 

What in Your House?

In every house it is the emptiness contained within that makes it useful.

 

Without nothingness you cannot have something. 

Without space there is nothing to be filled. 

Space between the notes gives us music – without the space it is just noise. 

Your house will reflect the personality of that which you choose to fill it. 

We can fill our house with the music of anger, lack, limitation and poverty, or peace, love, health, joy and prosperity. 

Whatever we choose will be our lot.

From the Notes of James Allen

What you are, so is your world.  Everything in the universe is resolved into your own inward experience.  It matters little what is without, for it is all a reflection of your own state of consciousness.  It matters everything what you are within, for everything without will be mirrored and colored accordingly. 

Reflecting on these words how might one alter his outward state toward a more desirable environment?

Consider how behaviors predict the responses we experience from our outside world, both positive and negative.

Function of the Will

Proper use of the will is to command control of the mind and all its faculties – self discipline.  Our conscious mind is a center of thinking and if left unsupervised will entertain all manner of thoughts allowing them to filter into our subconscious mind eventually materializing in our physical experience. 

Failing the proper use of the will leaves us subject to the whims of our external environment increasing the vulnerability of loss of control and direction.  Our emotions, being driven by our circumstance, become our unstable guide, dictating our actions, leading to results we may or may not find desirable. 

The will is not to be used externally to coerce another into self serving action.  We do not know what is best for another and manipulation enslaves them. The will is best exercised internally keeping your house clean and on purpose. 

Proper use of the will is to stay on purpose, thwarting doubt, disbelief and fear, for these things will surely slow or even negate your progress altogether.  When doubt or fear materializes immediately summon the courage and strength of the will to chase them from your mind replacing them with positive visions and thoughts of your worthy ideals.  In this way you will realize success.  The will is to be used to focus upon those things which you want.  The sharper your focus the faster they will be realized, or something better.

Proper use of the will is to focus on where you are going, not on where you have been.  Use your imagination, (the creative mind), to build your ideal world in spirit, - then call upon the will to stay the course bringing it into your physical experience.  In this way you can realize all you desire.

Get Serious!

You’ve got to be kidding!

I have seen some pretty crazy things in the gyms over the last thirty some odd years but what I witnessed the other day has to be right up there with the craziest I have ever seen.

Are you ready for this?

I actually watched a lady doing what might be classified as some kind of dumbbell shoulder press, one arm at a time—while reading, holding her novel in the other hand!

She was using a 5lb dumbbell which was flying up and down at a million miles per hour with absolutely no form or posture. It was bad enough that all the treadmill and elliptical trainers were zoned out in front of the TVs, not focusing at all on their workout, but this was ludicrous. She actually had one of those office bulldog clips holding her page.


Do these people actually expect to get the results they are seeking?


Have they resigned themselves to the excuse of mediocrity?

Or, having tried previously and failed, decided their desires are not attainable but doing something is better than nothing?

Focused attention on purpose is the only way to bring you the results you wish to accomplish quickly and safely.

The old story of trying to start a fire with a magnifying glass comes to mind. The sharper your focus the better your results will be.

The fitness world is no exception to this universal law.

Results-oriented training begins in the mind with purpose and emotional content. Know why you are training, with well defined goals and daily action steps to support them.
