Pray For Power!

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for power equal to your tasks.Phillips Brooks

pray for understanding

We are hard pressed to ever understand the big picture, the larger goal, the eternal purpose, so let’s pray for the ability to understand what’s going on. Pray to understand our role in how life unfolds for everyone we interact with.

pray for steadfastness

As we gain understanding, we ought to pray for the strength and resolve to continue. We should proceed with the intention and expectation that all will be well. Under the direction of such an intention, we must keep moving towards the North.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM resolute, I know I must plow on!

Your Future Now

It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.Winston Churchill

your attention

According to one interpretation of quantum physics, you, just by paying attention to something or some event, affect it. Your attention and focus are very powerful tools in your arsenal. How do you use them?

right now

By paying full attention to all the life happening right now, you affect your entire future. This enables you to live a fully conscious life, not an accidental one. The current moment is most precious. How are you living it?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM creating my future. I pay attention to Now.

Believe But Verify

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.Lord Buddha

trust

In the spiritual economy, faith, belief in an idea or a possible reality must come first. Faith means trusting something before you see it. Buddha cautions us to ensure that our beliefs agree with our own common sense.

then verify

Faith, trust and belief lead to the experience of that in which we believe. That’s a spiritual law. Eventually your belief or trust will materialize the object of your faith.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM trusting but real.

What Will You Risk?

And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.Erica Jong

risk what?

Not talking about commercial or business risk here. I’m thinking about taking a chance when:

  • We love a dear one and we hesitate to express our love.
  • We could help someone but don’t because we’re shy.
  • We could go that extra mile but don’t because we like the beaten path.

comfort zone

Getting out of our comfort zone is taking a risk. There’s not much growth staying inside this warm and routine place. How can we motivate ourselves to venture out more often? How can we be less afraid? Journal that.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM bold, I step out, into Life!

Erase Fear

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.Dorothy Thompson

nothing to fear but fear itself

We must vanquish fear. Especially the kind that freezes us into inaction and causes us to shrivel up. We were meant to expand our horizons and metamorphose into beautiful butterflies. We can’t do that if we’re fearful of growth and change.

apply PSTec

There’s mental work that’s necessary to erase fear and then there are tools available that can help in addition.

The fear pattern creates a neurological path in our brain which becomes very hard to erase. Often no matter what people try the automatic pattern takes over and defeats them.

One way to erase such a pattern is EFT (bottom of the page).

Another amazing way is PSTec, I discovered it lately and have used it successfully for myself and some coaching clients! Check it out here: www.pstec.org.

Here are instructions for using PSTec:

  1. Download these instructions (PSTecinstructions.mp3) and this audio (PSTecFile01.mp3). They’re both from this page: http://pstec.org/instructions.php.
  2. Listen carefully to the instructions first.
  3. Then figure out what emotional issue (fear, sorrow, depression, limiting belief etc.) you want to try PSTec on first. Decide the intensity level on a scale from 0 – 10.
  4. Listen to the 2nd audio now.
  5. For tapping on the right side, use your right thumb and right middle-finger, tap them against each other.
  6. For the left side, tap with your left thumb and left middle-finger.
  7. When asked to tap both sides, tap both the right and left side, at the same time, and rapidly.
  8. That’s it. At the end figure out the intensity level of that same issue again on a scale from 0 – 10.
  9. Repeat steps 3 thru 8 for the same issue until the intensity level goes down to a 0.

 

Daily Affirmation: I AM love. Fear loses its hold as I love.

Direction creates

The world has the habit of making room for the man whose words and actions show that he knows where he is going.Napoleon Hill

know it or just act

Knowing who you are and where you’re going is a very powerful statement to the Universe. A strong will, a steady mind and a firm decision creates waves and parts the way. Serendipity springs into action and you start to sail into propitious situations. Even acting the part works, try it!

no wrong decision

Know that in the eternal scheme of things there’s no worldly decision you can make that is wrong. If it’s ‘wrong’ according to you and others; then you’ll learn from that action. If it’s ‘right’ then you’ll reap its benefits. So don’t hesitate, decide and act…

Daily Affirmation: Today I am decisive. I will move to create momentum!

The Holodeck Perspective…

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?Robert Schuller

what?

  • Quit your job? And start living the life of your dreams?
  • Confess love to those you’ve always loved?
  • Never have fear about anything again?
  • Be happy?
  • Travel?

you never do fail

From one standpoint you never do fail, even when you think you do. I call this the Holodeck Perspective. In Star Trek the Holodeck was a large room where the computer created a virtual reality based on your request. The simulation was so real that you could actually forget that you were living that simulation. Life is like that. In an ultimate way, we’re always safe, we feel the pain and the gain right now, but nothing we do on this planet can eternally harm us…

Once we remind ourselves that this is a Holodeck experience (even though our relationships and experiences are real); we need not be afraid of failure; we need not be afraid of anything or anyone!

Daily Affirmation: I am eternally safe today to pursue my dreams. I will handle all that life throws at me.
