A Sound Principle for Success

Taking the “High Road” will always guarantee you stay in a positive environment, (vibration), able to receive all the good coming to you.

Ego will always try to convince you that vengeance and spite is the path to follow. These feel good to the ego masking the negative vibration created from lowering yourself to this level of pettiness. You may even seem to prosper for a time however prosperity from bestial means is seldom enjoyed and in time will produce its just reward from the pit of negativity.

Discrepancies can never be resolved on the same level or lower level than they were produced. You must raise your thoughts above the tenebrous desires of ego toward spirit consciousness where love, understanding and compassion are found. Guard your thoughts focusing on the desired outcome with faith, praise and persistence. In this way you will manifest the proper corollary for all involved.

Bitterness

Why so bitter, my friend? Why do you allow ego identification to choose bitterness over love and joy, which is your true essence? What purpose does it serve, except to destroy, for bitterness is cancer of the soul? Like an underground spring, your bitterness is icy and deep rooted. It will eventually surface into your physical world, bringing with it all the venom contained within.

Your world is angry, with its angry music and violence. It is wrought with sarcasm and hurt toward yourself and others. This—you have given ego permission to convince you—is the way to have fun, though at the sacrifice of others. You tear them down, chew them up and spit out the bitterness you have allowed contaminate your soul.

I fear for you, my friend, for the days that lay ahead will soon bear the fruit of the seeds you are nurturing. There is no escape except you change your thoughts, therefore your emotional vibration, activating all the goodness intended for you.

Take heed, my friend, for the day approaches quickly.

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 

Reflection

You cannot see yourself in the reflection from a mirror.

It can only reveal  part of the illusion ego has attached itself to.

Woman with Flower

I wouldn’t coax the flower if I were you.
Such watchful nurturing may do it harm.
Let the soil rest from so much digging
And wait until it’s dry before you water it.
The leaf’s inclined to find its own direction;
Give it a chance to seek the sunlight for itself.
Much growth is stunted by too much prodding,
Too much eagerness.
The things we love we have to learn to leave alone.

Naomi Long Madgett

Acceptance

Accept others as they are, without judgment, for they are perfect for this moment.

Treat them with love and respect; as though they are capable of all they desire.

To do so is to allow one to believe in them self, to blossom into the beautiful flower,

Devine Intelligence intended, for the benefit of all.

Difficult Tasks

Two of the most difficult tasks we will ever perform in our life are;

1. To live our purpose without regret, not trying to please everyone around us.
2. To allow another to live their purpose without judgment, especially those close to our heart.

Limiting Labels Limits

Labels, whether self imposed or programmed by memetic or genetic beliefs, set boundaries by which we define ourselves. These boundaries are like chains that imprison us giving us excuses why we can’t experience all that we desire in our physical life.

Spend time this week discovering the different labels you place on yourself. Where did they come from? Why have you accepted them as truth? How are they limiting? How might you discard these out-dated limiting labels, allowing you to move forward toward all you deserve out of life?

The famous Dutch theologian Soren Kierkegaard said; “Once you label me you negate me.”

All the best!

Change

Change is the only constant in our physical world.

It is the ebb and flow of life.

Endings bring opportunity for new beginnings.

Each day starts with the possibility to build on what has gone before or discard that which no longer serves us.

Become the observer. Experience the emotions, let them come and go as they will, as they must, but do not attach your self to them.

This is made possible by developing the spirit of now. This moment is all we ever have. What has past is gone forever; the future is not yet here. It is in this moment we have opportunity to make it as we wish.

To attach ourselves to the past or worry for the future is of no purpose, diminishing all that is good coming to us.

Guard Your Thoughts of Others

To your subconscious mind “YOU” are the only thinker in “YOUR UNIVERSE”. It will manifest in your life whatever you impress upon it. This includes the thoughts and feelings we have toward others. Think about the implications of this.

As we think so we become, even if it is the thoughts we have about another person. This is the wisdom of the Golden Rule; “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. We could also word this as; “Think about others as you would have them think about you”.
Thinking is doing, for thought is a measurable energy force. The action of thought will create an equal or greater reaction to be manifest in our physical world.

When we adopt negative thoughts, or wish ill will on our neighbor these thoughts and wishes are impressed upon our subconscious mind. You are the Host of Your subconscious mind. The end result being we bring these things upon ourselves. These critical and resentful attitudes are very destructive to us bringing with them any number of difficulties and sickness. Some people in our lives are difficult and we don’t always agree with their behaviors but it is important to genuinely wish for them love, peace, joy, harmony, health and prosperity. We cannot condemn their ways without bringing their negativity into ourselves. It is like poison. It will have an effect on our personal physical world.

We must practice empathy. This is the ability to project our self into the heart, the mind of another enabling us to think and feel as they do, understanding they are not these behaviors but through past experience they have allowed themselves to fall into discord with the harmonic laws of this universe. We must not return their negative energy but strive instead to return good for evil. Only in this way can we truly begin to have compassion and understand one another.

In the Book of Matthew we read; “Do not judge lest you be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." (Matthew 7: 1-2)

It becomes important then not to adopt nor condemn their thoughts, feelings and behaviors but to send them thoughts of love, peace, joy, health and prosperity. In doing this we allow the process of change to begin.

The challenge this week is to say to everyone we deal with; “I love you and wish you love, peace, joy, health and prosperity all of your days”. Just say this silently to yourself genuinely projecting it toward the other person as you greet them. This will ensure you remain in a positive vibration bringing good to both of you.

Find Out About You

"We all have to learn to be ourselves and not conform to what other people think we should be. You are a very special and unique person with a gift only you can give the world. Whatever you do don’t let people or circumstances change the person you are and don’t try to change other people. Love them for what they are and trust in them for all they can become."

"All you need to do is to take the time to find out about you. Not who other people believe you are but the real you." - Thomas Robarge, Workbook For Success

Learn and Share

One of the most beautiful gifts we can give to our self and others is the gift of thought.

Learn and teach all who are willing the art of thinking for them self.

Thinking is a definite process as sure and proven as any mathematical equation.

Calm the mind let your desires be known for it is from this stillness we rise above the confusion to become all we are meant to be. From this quietude life is created.

More on Forgiveness

If we wish to experience complete happiness, fulfillment, peace, joy, and health in our lives it is imperative we learn how to first forgive others, and then to forgive ourselves. By our thoughts we are the sole creators and possessors of our ills, not God, not our neighbor, nor any other outside influence.

James Allen gives us; Man is made or unmade by himself, in the armory of his thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself.

When we harbour feelings of guilt, anger, jealousy, remorse or any of the myriad of negative emotions toward others or our self we essentially reduce or cut off the supply of all that is good coming to us. We become disconnected, in disharmony with our creative source, which brings us love, peace, joy, prosperity, health and all that is good. Forgiveness is more for our well being than that of the other person. We only hurt ourselves by refusing to forgive. In essence we are punishing ourselves. Why would we want to do that?

These negative emotions set up an environment conducive to sickness and disease of all kinds. This is not theory but scientifically proven fact. These emotions create an acidic environment in the body making it a breeding ground for all manner of sickness from mental illness, to seasonal colds, to cancer.

Keep in mind forgiveness does not mean we forget for there are valuable lessons to be learned when we are wronged or we wrong someone else and correct it. What it does mean is we are able to recount the incident without attaching negative emotion to it. Until you have done this you have not truly forgiven the person or yourself.

To forgive we must reconnect with the Infinite Intelligence that is in all of us and see each person as their true self, which is love, peace and harmony. We must understand it is through ignorance and small mindedness we are done ill by. Develop compassion for those who are out of touch with their Inner Self and wish for them what we would wish for ourselves. Wish love, peace, joy, wisdom, and all the blessings of life to others and yourself but above all love for love is the only way to wizen the roots of unforgiving.

Forgiveness

"Forgiveness of others is essential to mental peace and radiant health. You must forgive everyone who has ever hurt you if you want perfect health and happiness. Forgive yourself by getting your thoughts in harmony with Devine law and order. You cannot forgive yourself completely until you have forgiven others first. To refuse to forgive yourself is nothing more or less than spiritual pride or ignorance." - Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

My thoughts on the importance of forgiveness next week.

What’s Your Motive?

It is unwise to pursue the favour of another or strive for status.

When we do these things we risk losing self and becoming what others think we should be doing, what others think we should do.

If we gain favour or status it is always a struggle to maintain with the risk of losing it. This creates unnatural stress leading to all manner of disease.

It is important to check our motives. Are we following our Inner Guidance toward our worthy ideals, trying to gain the favour of others or seeking to please ego striving for a certain level of status?

Spend some quiet time each day to discover the motives behind your actions to be sure they are serving your Inner Self. Always work toward becoming YOU.

Purpose

We have but one purpose in life. That is to love and serve one another without judgment advancing life for all.

By tending to the needs of others all our needs will be fulfilled.

Giving is one of the prerequisites to receiving.

I can hear the cries of disagreement now. But, before you click me away as delusional allow me the opportunity to explain.

I am not speaking of self-sacrifice here, allowing others to dominate at the expense of our own desires and what we were designed to accomplish in this phase of our being. No, I am speaking of serving others within our goals and aspirations for this is where we will excel, assisting mankind while realizing fulfillment.

Our challenge this week is to focus on the above passage as we go about our daily interactions with others. Be aware of whether your service is taking you away from your intentions or toward them.

What steps can we take to ensure we are continually serving others within our intentions?
How might this attitude result in a positive influence?

Importance of Serving

By design we were created for service. To serve one another, expanding and creating a better quality of life for all. Like a lake we must both receive and give life to flourish. If we live a selfish life taking only for ourselves we become like the Dead Sea which can sustain no life. Water only flows into the Dead Sea, not out. Therefore the Dead Sea is stagnant just as we will become. In order to live we must give. True service is giving without the expectation of receiving.

However, in our universe, by design, it is impossible to give without receiving back in some form.

It is important to ask ourselves each day; in what small way can I be of service today?

Reaching the Summit

If we expect to reach the pinnacle of our sport or art it is essential to continually assess our thoughts feelings and actions to determine whether or not they match our current blue prints which are responsible for the results we are experiencing at this point in our career. Does the life style we are presently leading contribute 100% toward our goal or is it more like 70% or even less? I would say that if it is less than 90% then the reality is we really are not very serious. It is more wishful thinking and we are not willing to discipline our self, sacrificing certain vices in order to attain what we think would be nice to be, do, or have.

Our bodies are designed to function optimally when provided with the proper nutrients and recovery time. If our current life style does not support this it will be impossible to ever realize our full potential. It is important to realize everything we put into our body and mind either strengthens or weakens it. The body can take an amazing amount of abuse and still perform at a fairly high level but the law states we reap that which we sow. We may even reach the top for a brief period of time but this is a universal law and there is no cheating it. If we practice habits of abuse the body will break down. It will be weakened.

Some fool themselves thinking a few weeks or a month of proper nutrition and training will suffice. This is not so. The body responds best to a consistent systematic quotidian regime containing all the components of training. Our weakest component will determine our degree of success therefore it is important we have a thorough understanding of each component and how to develop them.

Another law, the Law of Receiving is more than willing to deliver all we desire but will only give in proportion to what we are able, through preparation, to receive.

Lesson Learned

Wednesday was an interesting day for Tuesday I caught my old self coming through when I chose to negatively judge, (label), a former client. Something I no longer do.

The story goes like this.

In my studio I have two sets of dumbbells. One set of my 15lbs dumbbells has been on loan to this former client for some 2 ½ years now. The fault lies with me for not pursuing the matter and going to get them.

Enter my recent client of about three months. She has a beautiful energetic young spirit full of exuberance and life. She stated she nearly brought a pair of 15lbs dumbbells for me to which I would normally reply; “Thank you. That would be awesome.” Instead, before I caught myself, I went off on this rant about my 15lbs dumbbells, “supposedly,” on loan and proceeded to say it was better I didn’t pursue the matter and leave well enough alone because of certain characteristics the person held. At this point awareness kicked in but the damage had been done. Using my old perception of this person’s characteristic was an excuse masquerading as the reason for not pursuing the matter. The more I tried to explain, (justify), my judgment the more hypocritical I felt seemingly making matters worse for all. I had introduced a negative energy that could possibly dampen the spirit of another, erecting a caution sign in our relationship.

As in every case there is an equal positive opportunity to learn from this. By taking steps to adjust and sharpen my awareness I am able to better avoid such instances in the future realizing we can never let our guard down for ego is an ever present predator. Perhaps through discussion and understanding my client and I will gain a better understanding leading to a stronger relationship.

It has been an interesting exercise and I am thankful for the experience. My awareness of motivation and thought has evolved to a higher plane allowing me a deeper level of service. It also reminded me that my journey is continual and that I must be vigilant not to fall back into old attitudes, emotions and actions.
