Thought for the day: You Never get it done.
Posted by: | CommentsWhen the desire is born, right away you start counting yourselves a failure, because you’ve got this desire that hasn’t been satisfied. Know that you never get it done! And since you never get it done, it’s time to stop being unhappy about what’s undone, because most of it is undone! You are an eternal being. Most of it is undone. Instead of taking score about what’s been achieved — we want you to start feeling anticipation about what is still to arrive…
~From Abraham-Hicks
I like this.
Wanting something, or having a feeling of desire for something often leads you down the path of focusing on what is missing.
I know that I used to get caught up in the feeling of lack around what I wanted. I would have a desire for something different to show up in my life and then I would spend my time noticing how it was not there yet and trying to ‘figure out’ what I needed to do to make it show up.
When I started going deep into working with the Law of Attraction and Manifestation, I realized that by focusing on how things were not showing up yet, I was basically keeping what i wanted from coming into my experience.
It is all about the energy that I am embodying, and when I notice what is not showing up or is missing, and I focus attention there…even if I am tying to ‘make it happen’…. I am really just noticing the lack and that is what I get more of. What you focus on expands into your reality.
This is where faith and trust in the process comes in. Now I operate from the place of knowing that the Universe is conspiring with me to bring me all that I desire. My job is to have the desire for something and feel the energy of it. Then sit back and enjoy the ride.
How to Defy the Box: Step 2. Question Everything
Posted by: | CommentsWhen talking about the “Box “, I am referring to all the stories, thoughts and ideas that you hold about how the world works and who you are. Somewhere along the line you “agreed” that these stories, thoughts and ideas were true and you set out to live your life by them.
What makes them true?
You believe them.
Are they really true?
Not necessarily, but your believing that they are true gives them lots of power over you.
This is why a vital step in breaking free from the box is to begin questioning all your beliefs and stories about how the world works and who you are supposed to be. Most of these stories and beliefs that you agreed to are based on assumptions, your taking things personally, or you heard something over and over from someone else and you just took it to be true. You never gave yourself the opportunity to determine if this “agreement” actually worked for you. This is why many people are struggling to live a life that does not feel good to them.
Here is a general guideline that you can follow: If something in your life does not feel good, take some time to consider why you are doing what you are doing.
Ask yourself these questions:
Why do I need to do this?
What is really happening here?
Is it something I am supposed to do?
Am I attempting to be someone I think I am supposed to be?
Who decided that this was the thing for me?
Is it working for me? If not, what would?
What do I want to experience?
What would feel good to me?
This line of self-inquiry will help you get in touch with what it is that YOU want in life and will allow you to be conscious of what your stories are. Once you begin to identify what your stories and beliefs are, you are in a position to re-write them to support the life you want to live.
In order to find personal freedom you must first become aware of what you are, where you are, and what you want to become. Otherwise you are just flying blind and going where ever the fog in your mind takes you. In Toltec wisdom, this is called the Mastery of Awareness or the Mastery of Truth.
Let me lay it down for you; We are all living in a dream state. Everyone is living out their own personal dream made up of the stories that you tell yourself about who you are, how the world works, and what is possible for you. In most cases, these stories are made up of past experiences, assumptions and your taking everything personally.You use all of your creative power to create a dream that sets you up to suffer for the rest of your life.
Once you become aware that you are living in a dream state and you are the one creating the story line of it, you become empowered to re-write the story in a way that feels good and lets the joy, prosperity and fun into your life.
