We know that we can do better, make better choices in our lives. We know the impact that our choice for the ordinary has on us. We know how easy it is to fill each day with the littleness of being alive and we also know we have the freedom to make better choices.
At some level it is our intention to raise our littleness to greatness and we admire those who have fulfilled their destiny. These people have forged a way for us to follow. They have broken the bonds of ordinariness, those threads created by belief systems that are limited and limiting and that appear to hold us firmly in place. In reality, their only power is that we believe in them. When we reach to something greater, something more empowering, we begin to break the threads that appear to hold us in place. We discover that we are far more powerful than we had imagined and therein lies the key.
What you imagine - your thoughts - create your own limitations, your boundaries. Change your thoughts, change the pattern of your behaviour and you will break the threads that bind you. In every moment of your life you are free to make new choices, to challenge your limitations a little at a time. If your choices are based on a belief system that says you are unworthy of greatness, stop and just for this moment create a new reality that acknowledges your true potential which is greatness!
Take a moment, close your eyes, breathe with awareness of the air moving into your body and know that this breath is connecting you with all that is. You are a part of all that exists, now and forever. Imagine that all of the energy of creation exists within you and that you are free to access great thoughts and do great deeds right now. You are free to love unconditionally, both yourself and others, you are free to demonstrate the qualities of unconditional love - joy and beauty. You are free to breathe into your body health and vitality - just by breathing consciously. You are free just in this moment to acknowledge your worth and in so doing to allow prosperity to flow into your experience of life. Releasing littleness & limitation allows greatness access to your mind.
When you use the powerful creative genius that is your mind to create littleness, that is what you will experience. Experiment with the idea that you can create a much larger and more powerful, more generous reality. Take one idea or thought a day and practice making it a more grand idea and allow it to follow through. Observe what happens to your thought as it begins to take on a more abundant aspect of you as it moves out into the Universe. Remember that every thought we have exists into eternity and consider what you would like to gift to life. Is it your magnificence that you are sending forward? Are you creating an abundance of unconditional love filled with joy and beauty? Is it the very best you can create, right here, right now?
As a wise person said 'you will see it when you believe it'. It all begins with the reclaiming of the creative genius that is your mind and accessing this powerful tool in the most daringly creative manner.
Life is a joyous experiment. If your thinking is creating belief systems that are tying you down, change your thinking - challenge your thoughts and start a new life based on more powerful and joyous and abundant thoughts. Don’t allow yourself to be pulled down again and again. Be persistent and be consistent - you will begin to experience the results in your life. This is the beginning, the middle and the end of becoming an effective and powerful human. Reclaim the creative genius that is your mind. Mould your thoughts and ideas and allow them to show you a tiny glimpse of your potential. The person you must believe in, have faith in is you.
An excellent analogy for the mind is that of a wild pony. As with a wild pony it is essential to train the mind, to pull in the reins to bring it under your control. In this way the potential of the mind can be realised. The mind can be loved and honoured, but its power must be under your direction in order for you to manifest your true nature, your unlimited potential.
Discipline is essential when working with the mind. It is capable of running off in all directions without a thought as to its destination. Gently but firmly bringing the mind back and giving it clear instruction will begin to train the mind to be much more effective and you will begin to see the results in your life very quickly.
Observe where your thoughts are taking you and ask yourself is this really where you want to be? Remember your greatest gift is the freedom of choice. If the place your thoughts are taking you is not where you want to be, is not in your highest good, then remember your gift and make another choice. Your mind is a brilliant thing with enormous potential and with consistent instruction will learn very quickly.
This process is the beginning of Mastery. Mastery is always of the self. Being diligent, staying aware and taking responsibility for your thoughts will empower your life in many ways. As an example, the processes of the mind create physiological responses within the body on a moment by moment basis. Stress, fear, anxiety and consistent worry encourage the body to produce adrenalin in varying levels. This hormone affects the entire physical body using energy to prepare for the fight or flight response. The body has to use valuable energy to maintain a balance. On a regular basis this is an exhausting process and we wonder why our energy levels are low.
Every thought we have affects our life therefore it is logical to begin to examine the quality of thought we are creating. Quality control is definitely needed with our willful minds.
We have been taught that we have a body but we are not that body and that we have a mind but that we are not that mind. The aspect of us that can train the mind is much more powerful than all the parts of our humanness. This is the Eternal Aspect of our being, our Great Soul Self. Real magic can manifest in our lives when we reach beyond the mind and connect with the power, the beauty, the wisdom and the joy of our own Great Soul Self. In this place of real magic exists only unconditional love, fear is not a resident.
Imagine the impact on your life if every thought, if your very mind was guided and instructed by the Eternal Aspect of you that is in fact pure love. This is our potential….to reach for the highest energy of our being and to honour ourselves as Divine.
