What You Fear, You Create
Have you noticed that what we fear, we tend to create? Well it is not magical how that happens. Take for instance the Stock Market these days. There has been lots of talk about a near-recession or a full blown recession is happening in our economy. Since that conversation began, did you notice how many Americans and foreign investors ran quickly to their brokerage firms and sold their stock, thus creating a massive sell off. The sell offs then caused more panic and others went to do the same, thus causing the stock market to go down even lower. Then the Finance Chairman lowered the interest rate by a huge amount compared to historical standards, calling it a “stimulus package” to offset the slide in the market. Well, that action caused people to think, “Oh there must be something wrong”, and they panicked to cause a deeper plunge. At the end of the day, the results are matching the fears. Thus we create what we fear.
We may not create it directly, but the dynamics that go into effect from one action can geometrically grow into major outcomes. It shows you that your thoughts and actions make a difference and they influence other thoughts and actions which then affect you again. So be careful what you think and how you act on those thoughts, because they may come back to you in spades. What goes around comes around — “circle, circle!”. Said another way, every cause has an effect, and every effect has a cause. This is what is meant by the law of attraction in action. It is not magical; it is dynamical. You do, in that sense, create your own reality.
Let me know what you think on this, and how you see that happening in your life or in the world. And what can we initiate to have something happen that we want to have happen?
Enlightened & Committed Leadership
Your impact in the world is in direct proportion to your insight, imagination, and commitment in action. There is no one more destined for success than you. Many people feel that they do not have as much of a gift as others. But that, most often, is not the case (if ever at all). Your normal gifts and talents can create as much of an awesome impact as anyone else. Many people think that the strongest, brightest, and most beautiful will out-achieve the averagely endowed person. But there are an untold number of success stories born from those who use their imagination to see what others don’t see, who seize opportunities as they come into view, who throw their passion into whatever they start, and who discipline themselves to follow through. I’d say that these are qualities that can make men and women go from a zero to a hero in anything they undertake. Imagination, opportunity, passion, and discipline can create miracles by average people where the exceptionally “gifted” may procrastinate their talents away and lead lives that never quite got used. You have what it takes, so it is a matter of getting rid of your waiting and to start acting. You never achieve if you do not start. Begin what you believe and dream and don’t stop until you find your stride, and let the rest of the details unfold as you go. Your next miracle can start now.
Fit for a King/Queen
If your want to stay king of your castle or queen of your mansion, you need to be fit for the task. What better way to do that than to create for yourself a body to live with (not to die for)! Our greatest challenge is to be energized in the morning and have the vitality to take you through your day. When you have aliveness and energy physically, it affects your mind and emotions. And ultimately your spirit is uplifted.
So here are my six steps to a balanced life, in order to love the life you live:
* 1. Good Sleep — Ideally get about 7 hours and 20 minutes a night.
* 2. Work Smart - Use your automated technologies and/or delegate to assistants.
* 3. Stay Fit - Walk a lot. Take a brisk walk daily or exercise about an hour a day.
* 4. Eat Well - Graze, but no real big meals. Drink water, eat veggies, dine early.
* 5. Treat Yourself - Give yourself a healthy treat to reward your discipline.
* 6. Share from the Heart - Feel deeply, love with passion, express yourself often.
Well, there you go. Now it is a matter of doing it. It is my challenge too. But I promise you, if you do it you will live well and live long. It is the counsel of the ages by feisty old folks, wise villagers, scientists, nutritionists, and health specialists alike. It has been the way of the sages, and it worked for them. So why wouldn’t it work for us too? What do you think, and what’s your recipe for healthy living?
Faith is….
“The space that every man occupies in the world is measured by the faith he expresses in connection with his aims and purposes.” - Napoleon Hill
“I have spoken to you previously about the necessity of wedding purpose to correct thought. Intelligent, positive thinking will get you nowhere until it is guided by definiteness of purpose. But even purposeful thought must be buoyed by an abiding faith. The most noble purpose backed by the best-laid plans will prove no match for the twin cancers of fear and doubt if allowed to take hold. Fear and doubt are as cryptonite to success and have but one antidote — faith.
Haven’t we all seen an athletic event where one team has a big lead late in the game when the tide begins to turn and the team behind begins to make a move? What usually happens is that the team in front begins to freeze up. You can see fear and doubt begin to creep in and run away with themselves. We end up watching a seemingly improbable come from behind victory by their opponent.
True champions know that the victory is theirs whether they are the team ahead or the team making the move from behind. You must have absolute faith in the outcome of your endeavors or fear and doubt will eat you alive when obstacles are confronted. Neither fear nor doubt can occupy the mind at the same time as absolute faith. When you develop a faith strong enough that there is no possibility of an outcome different from that which you desire, fear and doubt will find no room in which to occupy your mind and victory will be yours.” – Jeff Young
I found this to be an inspiring message in midst of all the things I got going on in my life that are so out on the limb that I get scared. I often don’t know what I am going to encounter while i am going forth on my dreams, and sometimes I encounter things that I judge, at the moment to be obstacles to my path, only to find out later that they were tremendous learning experiences that gave me insights and more power. Funny how that happens! Just shows you, that faith is what keeps you going in the face of challenges. When you got faith, you will overcome.
Share an example from your life, or from something you know about, that would illuminate this message. People love hearing personal stories and examples. I do.
