They say it´s not the destination but the journey that matters. So true! The experience is the memory you take with you and experience never ends. Life is a series of moments. The arrival point is simply one of those moments. Make each moment count and be remembered as a pleasure…
What does the world need? What are my skills to help supply that need?
Two important questions to ask ourselves when manifesting our dreams. Believing in our dreams is fundamental in making them happen, and if they benefit the world at large – even more so.
If you´re not sure what your dream is, live the question. By asking ourselves these two questions (above) on a daily basis, without the sense of stress or attachment, we open our minds to perceiving the answers – trusting that they will appear at the right time.
Dreaming is the source of hope, inspiration and creation. Never stop!
“No ego, no problem.”
This was one of many yogi tea messages. I often think about this one and ask myself if it´s really true. Pondering on many occasions, asking myself: if my ego weren´t in the way would I have a problem here? I think the answer is invariably ´no´. We often get caught up in the need for acceptance but needing that acceptance in turn means we take the criticism too. Being impartial to either one frees our minds to just being and enjoying what we´re doing without the need or concern of other´s opinions.
Don´t let yesterday take up too much of today. The past is over and has served it´s purpose. Now and tomorrow is the place full of potential and like a blank canvas can be painted anyway you choose. You decide what you spend your time thinking on so dwelling on things from the past that can´t be altered can often be a misuse of your mind´s potential. Thinking about the way to make things work for now and the future can be more productive and a lot more rewarding.
Here are some pointers that help to keep our minds active. Very often we are working on autopilot, not paying very much attention to what´s going on around us. These activities help to keep our minds focussed on the now, which is always a good place to be.
Some changes may initially look negative. You may want to resist or hold on to the comfort of familiarity. However nothing good can come of life staying the same. Stagnation is the antithesis of life. Embracing the new allows the goodness to flow into your life and teach you all the valuable lessons that life has to offer.
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new Socrates
Override old images and negative thought patterns with new ideas of things you actually desire. The key is to not dwell on what we don´t like and don´t want in our lives as that will attract more of the same. But instead to focus on what you do want in your life, give it form and shape in your mind – and allow this into your life.
This is the video that I wrote about a couple of days ago, talking about the chakras and how to manifest desire through thought and emotion. (See post here) However, Gregg also mentions in this video that overriding old negative thought patterns is just as crucial to creating your wishes. – A really interesting video well worth watching!
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle
Start today with those healthy habits that will pave the way for a happier, more satisfied future you. Routines and rituals are habit forming and before long you´ll start noticing results. It´s worth the effort – especially in the moments where life gets more challenging. Maintaining habits are easier than starting them, so a good time to start is when you´re already feeling energised and motivated. When tough times approach (as they inevitably do), the habits you´ve already established will help you to keep going.
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. ~Jim Ryun
