What Were You Thinking?

To become the master of your destiny, you must learn to control the nature of your dominant, habitual thoughts. Mind Your Reality

 What occupies your mind all the time or even most of the time? Is it fearful imagined thoughts about what can go wrong, what is not working, who is doing you wrong and who is causing you to not achieve your desired life?
Or are your thoughts focused on your goals, your dreams, how you can learn or use setbacks to move in the direction of your desired life?
Are your thoughts about what you don't have? or are they about what is to come with the combination of work, focus and faith?
Are they thoughts about the lessons you are learning?

At first, it really freaked me out when I realized that my dominant thoughts are reflected in my  current reality! I could not believe that I could sabotage my own self based on my own dominant thinking, that it was no one's fault, this was on me! And a funny thing happened when I stopped being freaked out and accepted it, once I accepted it, I realized that it was a gift, that once acknowledged I really had to power to change my thoughts and be extension change my current reality. I started checking myself- often!
What was I thinking?
A Course in Miracles says that half of our issue is indiscipline - in our thinking in particular
when I neglected to check in, life would send me all the clues
Life showed me what I was focused on by what was manifesting itself in my life
The last year was particularly sobering - my thoughts were undisciplined and whipping my butt
I was working my buns off but I hardly ever had cash, I could not believe it, I started getting so frustrated. And then I checked myself
What are you thinking?
"No one would pay you, why would anyone pay for you to speak?"
"Is this a real job", do you really have a real job?"
"I'm just helping a friend out and supporting her, it's no big deal"
" I need more qualifications"

Dominant thoughts
I stopped that nonsense though - I absolutely forbid my mind to dignify nonsense!

Replaced those thoughts and continue to focus on what I want
the results have shown me that thought, word and actions in alignment works!
Practice makes masters
And when I slip up, life is always sending me gentle reminders

 "By internalizing and applying this Truth, that your thoughts create your reality, you will grant yourself the power to create the changes you want to see manifest in your life. Reality creation is an inside job."
Peace

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

Image
  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
