Afraid to look bad?

Show me a guy who’s afraid to look bad and I’ll show you a guy you can beat every time.Rene Auberjonois

When we’re not sure of ourselves, we don’t act with that confidence that’s necessary to be effective as human beings. That lack of confidence is mostly due to a lack of self-esteem or worthiness.

Why are you worthy?

That’s the question to ask yourself. Instead we repeat negative affirmations to ourselves that ensure our lack of self-esteem. We must catch ourselves doing that and instead use positive affirmations like the following:

  • There is only one Presence and one Power in the Universe, God the Good, Omnipotent. This Power expresses Life, Love, Wisdom and Abundance through me. In it, I live and move and have my being.
  • I experience the peace of God as I relax into the quiet calm within my soul.
  • The light of God surrounds us; the love of God enfolds us; the power of God protects us; the presence of God watches over us; wherever we are, God is.
  • Divine love, flowing through me, blesses and multiplies all that I have, all that I give, and all that I receive.

When will you be free?

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action–
Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.
Rabindranath Tagore

The United States celebrate July 4th as Independence Day!

Personal freedom reigns when you are: Fearless, unaffected by what others think, feel loved, love others, joyous, peaceful, purpose-driven, service-driven, of excellent mind, body and spirit!

The planet deeply desires such individuals to come forth and fertilize the global consciousness that will someday lead to peace and happiness for one and all!

When do you or will you celebrate your Independence Day? When will you answer the call?

Your destiny!

Destiny is not a matter of chance;

it is a matter of choice.

It is not a thing to be waited for;

it is a thing to be achieved.William Jennings Bryan

It’s your life and it’s your destiny that you control; by your thoughts, determinations, agreements, affirmations, assumptions, desires, habits and goals!

Let’s talk about agreements today, what are they? They are larger assumptions that you live by. An example might be: ‘My parents divorced when I was a kid, no one really loves me, not even God’. Another one could be: ‘I’ve failed in many of my major endeavors in life, I can’t make a success out of anything’.

Such basic but major assumptions define, to a very large extent, what you will experience in life. We do learn a lot from adversity so are we trying to create a perfect life? God does want us to be happy but s/he also wants us to grow as humans into reliable and mature beings. So in my opinion the focus on the ‘Law of Attraction’ to create an ideal life is a little misplaced. A truly fulfilling life can only be obtained when our life is in lock-step with the Universal Mind, God’s Will. Living with God as our partner is to actually fulfill our destiny.

Ponder that.
