Have the courage to Live and Prosper (Part 2)
If you are in a place in your life where all is not going
as well as you would have it, it's time to take some action.
You should have learned by now that when one is attached
to certain ways of thinking, believing, feeling and behaving
some patterns can be self-limited.
Have the courage to Live and Prosper (Part 1)
One of the most amazing facts about the human
condition is that the single most important discovery
one can ever make - who you are and your relationship
to the God (Spirit, Universe - use the term that serves you best)
- is almost totally unknown and sadly inexperienced by most
people. I hope that you are an exception. If not here are a
few things you can do to move yourself in the right direction.
Today I Choose...
TODAY I CHOOSE to share my love of reading.
I read hundreds of pages of material every week. Some for fun, some for
motivation, some for self improvment and spiritual growth and others at the
request of those I serve. I love to read.
TODAY I CHOOSE to share gratitude.
I am grateful for you the reader of this article. For you inspire me to stretch
and grow. Seeking new (for me) ways and words to bring you tools to use on
your path to greatness.
Success AND Spiritual Growth
There is a notion floating around in race consciousness that many people
believe. It looks something like this; one can be either successful or spiritual.
As if there is a difference.
The language used by those who talk about being *successful* and those
who talk about spiritual growth comes down to a choice of words. And yet they
both strive to accomplish the same thing.
So you have a purpose... Now what?
You've probably read the statement "Finding your purpose is a crucial first
element to success." So having spent some time in reflection, contemplation
and meditation you have a notion of what your purpose might be.. now what?
Take another step forward.
Improvement in any and every area of your Life is one type of work that is
well worth the effort. This work shouldn't always be within the confines of an
office building, or within the four corners of your living room. It is that effort which
should be taken daily wherever you are.
Moving Forward A2Z
There are hundreds of ways to get sidetracked from pursuing the truth of you;
from living life to its fullest; from reaching out for excellence. With the
bombardment of negative thoughts the world brings about, how do we keep
motivated?
Every day work from A2to Z...
144 minutes to Solid Connection
What do you see that interested you in the title of this article? The
numerologist in the crowd will have a field day with the number.
Twelve times twelve, combined equals nine, etc etc. The word
connection got your attention?
Truth be told it's not that complicated. There is no hidden meaning,
however, there is a deep one.
The "Secret" to a Life of Mindful Abundance
Have you found the "secret?" The real secret is found in the first word
in each of the first four paragraphs. It is a word that does not appear in
any of those paragraphs, yet it is the key to living a Life of Mindful
Abundance. Can you see it? No? Narrow it down to the first letter in those
words and look again.
Are you living what you say you believe?
All too often I see and hear from people who "say" that this or that is true
for them, however, they aren't yet living the words. And many of those
who may be walking around in the mental fog of overwhelm, helplessness,
lack and limitation aren't even aware that their world is formed by their
thoughts and feelings and brought into manifestation by their words and
actions. And as a result they continue to use words and take action which
holds them in a place of limitation, bitterness, anguish and despair.
Dream to the Extreme....but
Have you ever heard someone say that your dreams,
aspirations and goals were "Pipe Dreams" and you "can't" achieve them?
I know that I have. They have changed my life; not always for the
better. That kind of comment attacks you at the very core of your
being. It leads you to a place of inactivity and a lack of focus towards
your true purpose in life.
Converting a "Sow's Ear" into a "Silk Purse"
I recall an old saying, probably Chinese, that you cannot change
a sow's ear into a silk purse. The person who originally said that never
had the opportunity to go to a garage sale or to visit E-Bay. I use that
as an example, for garage sales and E-Bay prove another saying;
one man's junk is another man's treasure. Or perhaps both those
sayings are teaching a different lesson altogether. Hummmmmmmmmm.
The Question Is...
The question is..."For What Purpose?"
So you want to be wealthy and successful. For What Purpose?
When I first heard that question I said, "You've got to be crazy, to
have a lot of money. What else?"
IT'S RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE.
When I'm looking for the words to put together for an article,
a lesson or a presentation the very first thing I do is get in touch
with me through prayer and meditation.
Original Thought? Not!
The other day I was reading and preparing for a lesson I was
giving later that evening and all of a sudden it occurred to me,
"Rob, you've never had an original thought in your life!"
Pay Attention to What Shows Up
When you are confused or overwhelmed, when you are
not generating the revenue you want, or you are just not
having fun - there is a reason. What shows up in your world
is a reflection of who you have chosen to BE.
He got my Attention
So there I was... going through materials to share with you
and this jumped off that which I was reading and into my face...
"Is Tithing The Road To Abundance Or New Age Nonsense?"
The headline grabbed my attention and I just had to read more;
SEE HOW PERFECT THE PRESENT REALLY IS
It was one of those days... one of those days when my thoughts
jumped all over the page. No one thing came to mind, rather it
was a jumble of thoughts and those flitting from notion to notion
like a hummingbird from flower to flower.
7 Steps for Cultivating Happiness
It appears that many people seem to want those things
they don't have. And I hear that they are often convinced
that if they had those things they say they want so badly,
they would finally be happy.
Releasing Fear
I recognize that we as human beings as a result of race
consciousness have learned behaviors which express themselves
as fear. However in truth all FEAR is thought-based.
Praise and Recognition
"I believe the greatest gift I can conceive of having from anyone is to be seen
by them, heard by them, to be understood and touched by them."
Virginia Satir
When was the last time you praised your child, told someone GOOD JOB or
even simply said, thank you?
What are you complaining about?
Price of Gas driving you nuts?
Can't believe all the "crazy" drivers out there!
"If only he (or she) would do (x,y or z) then I would feel better."
(This statement is usually followed by a deep sigh)
The A B C's to Keeping on Track
How can you decide who and what you should be,
and which principles will keep you on track?
When you clearly understand who you want to be, you can make sure your
actions each day bring you closer. Here are the ABC's for exploration:
Words are Powerful.
We know that our world is formed by our thoughts and feelings and brought
into manifistation through our WORDS and outer activities.
Reflect not only WHAT you are thinking. Reflect on HOW you are speaking.
