The Mind and Transformaiton: Week 8 Day 2

Interesting how the mind starts playing old files when I take my eye of my goals by daily reviewing my purpose and my destination.  This is one of my lowest level habit, that of reviewing my goals and purpose daily, and renewing my commitment to my outcome.  So here I am still on track, with a minor course correction opening my book and reviewing my goals and purpose.  This is an area I will work on correcting going forward in my l...

Feelings: Mostly I have been feeling energized and excited. However last nite, I took a nose dive BIG time. It was a minor melt down crisis.

Staying on Plan. When the going gets tough. Plan. Plan. Plan.

yes. Still on track.  I have a plan, and it is not just in my head like it started out as yesterday. I caught myself slipping yesterday.  What I mean is that when things are going really well, I stop doing the key thing that makes them go well.  That is I stop setting intentions, plans and executing the plan.   The lower self of me says, "you know what to do.  So just do it".  "Don't worry ab...

My words Create my Reality! Lesson #12

The power of words.  Yes, I too believe we are the speaking spirit.  We create our words through the verbalization of our thoughts and beliefs.  Through committing our thoughts into becoming reality.  I have focused on observing and carefully choosing the words I choose to speak.  Over time it becomes habit.  Like any habit, if not practiced daily it can atrophy and erode. I am an optimist.  I believe in th...

A Wish for World Peace!

Monday I wrote my letter to Santa Claus.  I asked for the usual, World Peace, Good Will towards men and abundance for all. This morning while doing my cardiovascular exercise, I was listening to John Lenon's greatest hits and I heard  "Give peace a chance".   It brought me back to the common theme of this time of year the "wish for world peace".  So to pass time, I started thinking about this wish. I a...

I surrender. I quit. I am giving up the fight.

Yes.  I surrender.  I am done fighting.  I will no longer fight this battle of will and sheer force.  I can't take it.  I hope you all understand and will find it in your heart to understand why I am doing this. Today at 4am I awoke, that's almost 2 hours before my alarm is set to go off.   I lay their TRYING to visualize.  The thoughts kept wondering, dirfting, I pulled myself back to center and continued ...
