You Can Make a Difference

December 16th, 2007 by aaks



“Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.” -Henry David Thoreau-

Imagine over 100 years ago this was a personal belief of Henry David Thoreau, and now today in our enlightenment many of us are just becoming aware of this truth that he knew then. A true great master in perfect form and enlightenment.

Find, expand, practice, share and live your beliefs. As each of us do this, one then ten then a hundred then thousands will turn into each individual, then the community and then the world changes - one individual at a time - see how great we are!

Your beliefs may and probably will always be changing form, however, the core of your beliefs will remain the same as we are all one and come from the same Core or Source. How we get to our beliefs are on many varied paths at different time schedules and with many teachers and mentors along the way, this all varies depending on our heritage and family background and what influences we had as children, then we become adults and start sorting out what is true for us as our individual beliefs start to form.

When all is said and done, love is all there is - you are love and you, one individual at a time, can turn the world around. With this knowledge we can make that difference in the world that we thought was always in the hands of others, it is in our hands and we can make a difference with believing in our beliefs every day.

Namaste,

Passion Is Power!

December 16th, 2007 by aaks



Passion is something we all share. It’s a natural part of the human experience; we all have access to it and we can all use it as a tremendous tool for empowerment. The key lies in learning how to access, harness and direct your passion so that it serves you in positive ways.

Very broadly, passion is defined as “a strong, or intense, feeling or emotion.” The reason passion carries such power is that all emotions are energy… and intense emotions are very powerful energy.

Emotions act as a kind of “carrier” that allows two-way communication between our consciousness and universal energy. If you are less spiritual, you can look at it from a purely psychological perspective and say that emotion allows communication between the conscious and subconscious mind.

Either way, it’s how we create our entire life experience. Our thoughts trigger emotions; those emotions then “carry” or “broadcast” our thoughts to the universal energy field - I call it Infinite Energy - and the physical/experiential manifestation of our thoughts arises from within this field.

This being the case, you can see that when someone says “Your thoughts create your life,” they are absolutely correct. It’s true from a psychological perspective as well as from a “higher” energetic perspective. Anything we experience is the direct result of our emotions, which we control by our thoughts… though not always consciously.

To create the life experience that you want, it’s extremely important to notice your thoughts and consciously focus them on positive things… the things you want. The average person thinks 50,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day, and many people don’t pay much attention to the thoughts they think. Instead, they let their minds wander, chatter, worry, judge and the like… with very little focus. Then they wonder why they don’t get what they want in life.

If you truly want to create happiness and success, learn to observe your mind and consciously choose your thoughts. Meditation is a wonderful practice to help you with this. Relax into the process; don’t force anything, and realize that it will take some practice to break years of “bad mind habits”. Focus on the positive things in your life, and see yourself as already having what you want, right here and right now. Feel the positive emotions that these kinds of thoughts create, and know that what you want is on its way to you now!

Develop your “personal passion meter” as well by observing your feelings on a consistent basis. Are you in touch with your “positive” passion? Do you feel empowered and enthusiastic because you love the things you’re doing or thinking about… or simply because you love life itself? When confronted with challenges, do you put negative aspects aside and focus on positive solutions?

Or are you at the mercy of “negative” passion? In other words, do you experience strong or intense feelings or emotions about negative things? If so, make the commitment to yourself to change your focus: you always have the choice of how you feel.

Positive focus is vital to using your power of passion to create positive results in your life. With consistent positive, passionate focus, you will be successful - universal law guarantees it. But it’s up to you to make the first move. Work on observing your thoughts, maintaining positive focus, discovering your positive passion and encouraging its growth!

Do You Have the Courage?

December 16th, 2007 by aaks



There are two people you know very well. Better than anyone else in fact. Most people know one better than the other. Most people do what the one tells them more than the other. Most people behave in a way more like the one tells them to behave. The two people are you.

Look deep inside yourself. You will see the two people for who they are. One of these people is the hero in your life. You saw them when you graduated high school, when you gave that excellent speech, when you finally stood-up to your demeaning friend, when you hit the homerun on your softball team. This individual is everything you dream about being - who you want to be - the IDEAL SELF. This person is capable of achieving anything - making millions of dollars - becoming famous around the world — helping thousands - and any other form of greatness than disguises it as one of our desires.

The other person your likely to see (and most see them too often) is the non-idea self. This self is weak and pessimistic. This self constantly makes bad decisions, backs down, says this will be too difficult, and ultimately gives up on life. This self is in constant state of failure. Just as strongly as you can feel your triumphant self in good times, this self echoes the failures of your life and constantly reminds you of where you should be. This guy is decidedly realistic (which really means negative) and set boundaries on where it decides your life should be. It fences off your dreams and says those are not for you, you’re not capable of those. And so we listen to this guy. He helps “shape” our life letting us accomplish exactly what we think we should accomplish. Constantly settling for less this self tells us the other self does not exist and everything they do is an element of luck.

Thus we live, in the battle that our two selves have. Ninety percent of people let the second self win ninety percent of the time. Creating a mundane uninteresting life with a few “moments” of lucky greatness. They let the great self out only in the rarest of circumstances or in certain activities that they happen to feel comfortable with. This is the great TRUTH that separates ninety percent of the population that “seem” destined for greatness no matter what they do.

The fundamental principle applies; who we BELIEVE we are on the inside will manifest itself on the outside. Lets name a few qualities of great people - of any great person that has ever lived.

Courageous
Full of Faith
Confident
NO FEAR

It takes courage to be great. The inside qualities are what count. If you had no fear, what would you do differently in your life? Ninety percent of all reading this will still live in fear. However, the more we overcome this fear and live with COURAGE the more our dreams WILL come true. In this life many have adopted the philosophy that greatness comes with luck of the draw, and that greatness may luckily stumble upon them someday. This will never happen.

The good news is: a small change in thinking WILL lead to an enormous change in results. Work on changing the inner qualities of how you think, how you think about yourself, and what you can accomplish in life. Believe anything is possible and it will be readily available.

The attitudes, beliefs, and thoughts we carry are the causes of our life; the things we do are the effects. Many people believe that their lives are going wrong, therefore they go from one effect to another, but the cause does not change. For example, in my own life I went through a difficult time searching for a job and a career I would enjoy. I went from one line of work to the next - inevitably being unhappy with my life and what I was doing. A friend of my gave me some of the best advice I have ever received, he said, “you will never find the career you want, you have to create it.” I took his advice and started my own business. What really changed was not my job or the activities I was doing, but my attitude.

It takes tremendous courage to defeat the non-ideal self. It often goes against beliefs we have held since we were very young. However, the fact that you are still reading this shows you are already on your way and understand the necessary fundamentals of what make us who we are. Indeed we create our own destinies, the challenge is there, will you accept it?

Just For Today

December 16th, 2007 by aaks



It’s a day at a time life. That’s the only way to live. Think about it yesterday is gone, tomorrow in not here . So, what do you have? Even if you have to take it a minute at a time, enjoy it, stop being so hard on yourself. When doors close, lets open the new one’s. Just remember your not alone, everyone has some kind of problem. Big or small, something is always going to be in our path. I’m not telling you to walk around it, it will work it self out if we deal with it. We grow from the pain, and learn from our experience that we encounter on our journey.

What are we focused on? And always thinking about. Nine times out of ten were thinking about our own problems. When we are in our own heads we are behind enemy lines. Should we take the cotton out of our ears, and put in our mouth? Or should we just reach out to help someone less fortunate, or just having a bad day. You don’t have to go very far to find those kind of people. The world has changed, we live in a fast pace, push button society. Do yourself a favor don’t get sucked into it. Take a personal inventory once in a while. It’s ok to slow it down, maybe you have been missing alot of the little things in your life.

I always like to end with a daily reading or quote. This one is from Joel Osteen’s Your Best Life Now: Happiness is a choice. You don’t have to wait for everything to be perfectly straightened out in your family or with your business, or for all your problems to be solved. You don’t have to forgo happiness until you lose weight, break an unhealthy habit, or accomplish all your goals. No, God wants you to be happy right where you are, right now.

Good luck and God bless on your daily ventures.

What Is Always the Perfect Gift?

December 16th, 2007 by aaks



There is one thing that every person possesses that everyone else wants - and they want it very, very much. No one may tell you outright, even when you ask, yet you may be sure that secretly they do want it and are afraid to ask you for it.

The gift I am talking about is not something that you can buy because no store sells it. It is not something that you can make because there are no materials with which to construct it. And, it is not the age-old adage of giving your time, your attention, love, compassion, empathy or charity. This is something that is much more dear to you than all of those worn out suggestions. In fact, it is something SO precious that you actually may be afraid to give it to anybody. Only you will know for sure!

The gift that you can give to everyone you want to share with this Christmas is something that will continue to give of itself for as long as you are here. It is YOU! By you, I mean the authentic you, the real you. This is the you that you don’t let anyone else see, even those closest to you. This is the you that is so intimate that if you give it to someone else, it will give you away. And isn’t that exactly what giving means - to give something away?

If you are reading these words and thinking “well, I already do that” or “oh, I don’t need to do that”, then I am talking to you. How dearly the mind wishes to hold on to its illusory perception of safety that hides behind the walls of our ego faces. How clearly we may believe that we are right and, in that knowing, that we are *safe*.

I would ask you in this month before the year 2007 closes its doors that you feel very deeply inside to where the *you that is YOU* lives. Ask yourself if you are able to give this gift to everyone, or even someone, in your life. In truth, it is the only present they really want no matter the time of the year or the reason.
