Cultivating Self-Dicipline

For most of my life, I struggled like many others with cultivating self discipline.  This  bothered me a great deal for many years because I am a big dreamer and the lack of discipline hindered and almost completely stopped all progress towards many of my goals.  For years I tried everything from self judgment and criticism to wishing and praying.  LOL!!..., only to find myself back into the same old habits. Ugghhh..

Eventually, I decided to start stating a daily affirmation that changed my behavior.  Daily I affirmed, “I am disciplined and I am focused”.   YUP! I decided to KICK that nasty habit of procrastinating goodbye,  FOR GOOD!! I am now growing stronger each day in self discipline then ever before; completely without struggle. Ha! Yes! You read it right, completely without struggle.  NOW with Ease.  Although daily affirmations are not a magic pill however, I do believe that our thoughts create our reality so it's kinda like planting a seed.  Over time, with enough water and sunlight the seed grows and eventually it blossoms.  Therefore what we feed our subconscious becomes the manifestation of our reality.   I have proven this theory to myself many times over the past 2 years while using daily affirmations and must admit I am still sometimes shocked and amazed.

I no longer struggle to change things that I don’t want in my life.  I choose to believe in the power of my thoughts, therefore, I am creating the life I want by purposely/deliberately choosing my thoughts and eliminating or discreating those thoughts that do not serve me.

  

When you lack self discipline, you always have good intentions, you might even get started on a project or a diet or exercise but then fall off at some point.  And of course, we always have reasons or explanations for why we aren’t doing what we need to do to make our dreams come true.  Without self discipline dreams will always remain just that, a dream.

We all have gifts and talents that allows us to shine, focus and get determined to cultivate your gifts and live those dreams. Don't  just wish they could happen but actually Affirm, create and make them happen! The Universe wants to support you.  Someone else wants and needs your gifts.  YOU are the CEO of your Universe! Now Get BUSY!!!

Affirmation: I am the CEO of my Universe, I am disciplined, determined and focused!

Peace and Light!

From Today On, I Am Fearless

Fear, I will not allow you to control me. You are not in my life any longer. Courage and strength have replaced you and your time is up. I take back any reservations you have made to stop me, my progress or my goals. Your mind games, influence of doubt and the anxiety you produce can never consume my mind, spirit, or soul again. I lock you outside of my space, my life and my world. From today on, I am fearless.

Who Are You? I AM SOURCE!

Behind all labels, behind all self created illusions of mind and ego, or social dogmas and masks, there lies the truth, THE TRUTH to who YOU really are #SOURCE

How hard is it to be the real you? Are you prepared to let go of everything? Think of who you will be when all form and material life is gone. That is the real you. Are you prepared to forgive and release all? There is nothing you must do, it's all about what you no longer need to do. To stop hiding, to face the true awesome reality of who and what you are, free from all illusions. Are you a thinking, breathing, centered person? Do you control your ego, or does your ego control you? Do you live in a state of awareness or reaction? Where are you looking for your answers? Within or without? These are all serious questions we must contemplate and come to accept for ourselves.. To "Know Thy Self" beyond mind, beyond ego, beyond words is the first and only step.

Once the flow of creation is embraced, great energy is released, life becomes the adventure it truly was meant to be. What needs to be done, will present itself in every moment. All that needs to be accomplished, resolved and understood, will be. Be present, be still within the vortex of creation, in humble awe. We are all children of the one source, we are all babes. Take time out, take it easy, awaken and reconnect within yourself at your own pace. Take nothing personaly. Meditation, practicing awareness, observing your thoughts and mind flow are all stages of re-awakening to your true enlightened nature. Allow it to happen just as a flower opens itself to the sunshine each day, so too will you blossom when the time is right. Remember, in this creative experience, this world of perpetual change and form, everything is a perfect manifestation in relation to the consciousness that is creating it. The world is a mirror. Every moment brings with it a perfect experience that is tailored by you, for you. Learn from it. For many, this can be a hard truth to face.

AM I religious?

I AM NOT.  NOT bound by any religion or ideology. If you are part of a religious organization then so be it. That's just perfect for you. But in this world of form, change is inevitable. I AM DON'T CONFORM TO ANY religious ideology. There is a vast difference between spirituality and religion. Many religions formed to assist the process of re-awakening in practitioners and adherents. They can all point the way, but only serve as tools and methods. The tools used to build the house, are not the house.

What about God?

There is no concept that can define God. That power some call God is the source of all. It is the over arching divine consciousness that guides and directs all life in form and non form. We know God by knowing our true selves. We do not need to consciously understand, rationalize or define God for God to be real. Like us, God Just IS. We accept there is great power in who we are, and the processes of how we each came to be. Yet each is free to formulate their own interpretation of what that power is, yet to do so may prove futile. HOwever we can come to understand aspects of God. LIke the fact that God pervades each and everyone of us, exists both within us, around us and is intricately connected to us. God works, with us and through us and for that we honor and love God through divine service and existing in a state of least resistance to God. We honor the process and honor our own role within it. To see through the illusionary nature of form and see clearly each and every beings, non dual nature. To see the God aspect in each other, and to love God.

What about Ascended Masters, Messiahs & Prophets?

Each OF US ARE free to follow OUR inspirational hero's and teachers throughout history. And each should never fear to question, rationalize, or reason. But realize the ever changing nature of thought. Go within to the source for guidance. Believe what you will, but do so in deep consultation with the inner master. In Spiritual teachings you will surely find wisdom, in your questions you will find reason, and in your doubts, you will find learning and growth. But in awareness you will find the only perspective that truly matters.

PEACE LOVE AND LIGHT!
