TURNING WEAKNESS INTO STRENGTH

Turning weakness into Strength

Success is the natural course of life. Nature wants to grow, expand and is constantly moving towards cleansing and creating. We can work together with nature in a conscious evolved state cooperating with God to clean out our thoughts of lack and weakness and replace it with thoughts and actions towards success. A mental motion of success.

Staying conscious of the energy in the human mind that forms habit patterns of weakness that if left unchecked, controls us, causing us to feel we have no power to overcome thoughts of overeating, overdrinking, procrastination and self defeating behavior.

All the therapies and solutions that we have been given by our social structure to help over come our weakness has proven that NOTHING is as effective as a FACE to FACE confrontation between the power of the weakness energy or self-defeating mental energy that is holding back your success and the  God-Power of the UNIVERSE in your mind.

You can achieve mastery over ANY weakness in your mind!

Direct Confrontation is a metaphysical science technique that will overcome your weakness right NOW if you use this technique daily until your weakness has been eliminated from your mind on all levels.

Weaknesses are unevolved habit patterns of mental energy within the subconscious mind that surface to one’s conscious mental activity in an attempt to control one’s mind and nervous system.

Make sure that you re-read this lesson every day for at least seven days remembering that the weakness energy occupying your mind is temporal and it will pass given time and through confrontation you cause that evolution to take place NOW.

A positive mental attitude about the confrontation will assure your success.

If you are to completely succeed

1. You must REALLY want to change
2. You must REALLY want to succeed and be happy
3. You must TRULY believe that no temporal energy of your mind can stand up to the eternal energy of the God-Power at the center of your mind.

You CAN do it!     RIGHT NOW!

This confrontation power technique is the unlimited healing, transforming, eternally present primal energy power “centered” in your mind that has ALL-Power to directly confront and eliminate the hold of negative weakness energies from your subconscious.

Whenever any weakness energy enters your mind, call within to the universal God Center of your mind which contains the power presence of the universe. Look at yourself in the mirror or talk to yourself just like you would if you were confronting another person and say the following confrontation affirmation.

Examples:

Self-doubt

The God–Power within me is greater than the power of self-doubt within me. I yield my mind and body to the God-Power within. The God-Power within me gives me the peace and power to get up, go out, travel to, and have this interview. (or make this decision, or ask for what I want)

Overeating
The God-Power within me is greater than the power causing me to overeat. The God-Power within me brings peace to my mind and body.

As you use the confrontation affirmation, think thaink and FEEL the greater power taking over your mind. FEEL this until you no longer feel any influence whatsoever from the weakness energy of your mind.

When this happens say the following…

I give thanks to the God-Power of my mind for giving me Self-Mastery.

Attract and Maintain Prosperity

Prosperity Tree

Attract and Maintain Prosperity

Prosperity is usually thought of in finances but in reality we must FEEL WEALTHY in all areas of our life. Prosperity is a state of mind in which one has happiness and peace within. Some people have a few thousand dollars in the bank and consider themselves lucky and prosperous. Strange as it may seem, others feel like they are close to the poor house with a million dollars. Keep in mind that your prosperity comes from all areas of life like your health, love, and a peaceful mind.

Your mind will work with your thoughts as a whole so, if you’re feeling like you’re lacking in love or health it will spill over into another area and you will not be as effective in your finances. If you want to attract and maintain prosperity in your finances, keep your mental attitude focused on the whole you.

Keep an attitude of continual expectancy, having a state of mind that is always open to new ideas, inspiration and intuition that flows in from your higher mind.

Learning and practicing meditation is essential for quieting your thoughts of lack and reprogramming your inner consciousness for greater prosperity. Knowing that the manifesting universe always gives you what you FEEL (vibrate) will keep you in an inner state of ONENESS that produces the greatest positive mental attitude for achieving over all prosperity. There are two different approaches to meditation, one is done alone and the other is done in a group. Both approaches can be silent or with the use of sound and we suggest trying both. There are two types of meditation, one is passive where you still your mind, and the other is dynamic (active) where you visualize and think of that which you intend to attract into your life.

Practice the spiritual law ASK and YOU SHALL RECEIVE. Knowing through meditation that your higher mind, God, Goddess, Source, All that is, is within you and at the central core of your being you have within you the wisdom and intelligence of the entire universe working for you and through you. As if by magic this inner knowing attracts all things positive and prosperous. Ask, receive and keep track of your successes. Each time you succeed you will become even more confident.

Steps to attracting a prosperous life

• Meditate daily, open your mind and allow the prosperous vibrations to grow and reprogram your thoughts.
• Keep active, get out of your normal routine and take the inspired action that gives you better chances to be in the right place at the right time.
• Keep your mind open to all the possibilities. People and things can come to you in many different ways. Bartering, gifts and trades are just some of the ways the universe can give you what you ask for.
• When you have a negative thought, STOP and turn it around IMMEDIATELY. Affirm instead that you ARE prosperous already and that GOD, YOUR SOURCE is supplying your every need.
• Associate with people who also have a positive attitude about prosperity. If you have to be around someone who is saying something negative, love them but don’t allow their thoughts to influence yours.
• Live, think and act in ways that show you are ALREADY PROSPERSOUS.
• Each day declare within your mind that God is your TRUE source of supply.
• Frequent places in your area where you see affluence. Pick up on the positive vibrations and KNOW that GOD wants you to expand. Feeling good and prosperous is WONDERFUL.
• Reprogram your mind everyday with prosperity-thought affirmations. FEEL good about your thoughts, use words that allow your true feelings to flow from within.

Reprogram your Inner Consciousness
During your daily mediation time, repeat your affirmations at least 3 times. Find one that FEELS really good and write it down so you can see it all day and read it often. Each time you do this you are reprogramming your inner consciousness that influences your mind and mental attitude that attracts prosperity.

Below are some suggested affirmations;
Each day I share the wealth of Gods abundance around me.
Every day I live confidently, knowing that the source of my prosperity is working through me and directing me.
I am at peace and ready to allow in all that the power of God and the universe has for me.
I am already prosperous and this prosperity is beginning to materialize all around me.
All channels of my mind are open and I am receiving and acting on the inspired thoughts.
My mind is like a magnetic force drawing true prosperity to me.

Power of Gratitude

Power of Gratitude

“Appreciation and gratitude create miracles, and you can enjoy these benefits yourself every day. “Gay Hendricks

Start by increasing the kinds and amounts of gratitude you share with others. Write down what you appreciate by keeping a gratitude journal.  When in  Houston traffic, I use all the cars  like rosary beads and recite for each one by saying, ” Thank you God ….( for whatever is appreciated).”

Practice daily to have a non-stop exchange of appreciation and gratitude. Affirm the good things in your life by appreciating them more. Acknowledge your friends and family, the warmth and beauty of your home, the taste and quality of your food, and all the other things we tend to take for granted. Just like the Tide commercial lady says as she is  able to again be washing her clothes, “we tend to not appreciate things until we no longer have them.” Why wait until something is lost to begin to feel gratitude for it in your life? Grateful thinking turns things into more.

Practice appreciation at this time during the holidays when nerves can be tested,  appreciate those people close to you, and then notice what occurs between you with this genuine expression of appreciation.

Melody Beattie says,“Gratitude turns negative energy into positive energy. We can start with who we are and what we have today, apply gratitude , then let it work its magic.” She goes on to say,“There is no situation of circumstance so small or large that is not susceptible to gratitude’s power.”

Notice how problems dissolve, people express more and more of who they really are, co-creativity blossoms, and harmony reverberates. What  better present can you give?

We appreciate you for taking the time to read this post. Happy Holidays!

A Fresh Perspective

Fresh Perspective

A Fresh Perspective

I believe we all need someone or something to remind us of the truth behind the scenes. We get caught up in the drama and trauma that life can be but, as we all know, just like a play or movie, the reality is behind the scenes of all the acting and the roles we are playing. We are spiritual beings having a human experience and it’s set up this way from the day we are born.  We start off early identifying ourselves by the roles we play, forgetting that these roles can shift and change with one thought. When we were young, we looked forward to these role changes and were eager to see what happened next. When we are reminded of the truth behind the scenes, we can choose to embrace the new thought and start a new (better role).

• Do you have a support system in place to remind you of the truth when you forget?

Remind yourself and others to see that each change can be an adventure, a celebration, and a chance to play a new part, we can recapture the joy of our childhood as we move from one role to the next.

Why don’t you start by reminding someone in your life that if they don’t like the role they are currently playing that they can hire a new director to change the scene or, better yet, think a new thought and start a new role that’s even better than the one they are currently playing. Give someone you care about a fresh perspective on life and a greater life experience- REMEMBER TO INCLUDE YOURSELF. Set up a reminder system if you don’t already have one in place like, a friend who can remind you and sticking up some affirmations around your home and office. Here’s an example of a good affirmation to put out on your mirror or on your computer.

Example: I AM HAVING MORE POSITIVE REACTIONS TO DAILY EVENTS IN MY LIFE.

Placing affirmations in your POWER PLACE (places you frequent) allows you to have reminders with these positive affirming statements that point to new possibilities. Wonderful possibilities that FEEL exciting. Ones that get you out of bed each morning with a spring in your step and a smile on your face.

Too often we get “stuck “ in a belief system that no longer serves us, so why not change that old belief system to a newer, fresher perspective.

“You can have anything you want if, you want it desperately enough, you must want it with an exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.” Sheila Graham

When we choose to do something differently from the way we have always done it— it’s at that moment the ripple effect happens like throwing a pebble on a pond. With each small change eventually the small indelible moments of courage burst through and  both you and your world are changed.

Choose to do whatever it takes to keep yourself looking at life with a fresh perspective.

Sending This With Love….

Affirmations That Stick

Increase your wealth with affirmations!

Affirmations are anything that we think or say. Unfortunately, most of what we say and hear others say is negative. We hear ourselves saying, ” how we hate this job.” or we don’t want this or that in our lives.

If we want to change something by  manifesting it  into our lives, we must state what we do want. We must ” make firm” or affirm that we are willing to see ourselves from this new vantage point. Just as Dr. Wayne Dyer says, ” Change your thoughts and therefore change your life.”

Consider the words that we say and the thoughts that we think like planting a seed. First the seed germinates, then it sprouts roots , then it pokes up from the dirt, it takes time to go from a seed to a full grown plant. The same is true for affirmations. Be patient with yourself as the changes begin to take place.

What you say is what you get in our life.

What area of your life are you looking to change?

Affirmations can assist you in transforming that part of your life. In case you are unfamiliar with the effective use of these powerful  positive declarations. Affirmations are to be stated consistently—in  present tense as though they already exist and should be said with feelings.  An example would be if you state that the perfect job is coming your way. It keeps that perfect job in the future, without ever arriving. State instead that. ” I have a fabulous new job, making $______ a year and  working less than before while enjoying it more while  having fun each day.”Think how it will feel to have this desire already be true and  then ” feel” that good feeling while saying your affirmations. Some people enjoy doing ” mirror work.” This simply means you look yourself in the mirror while repeating your positive phrases.

We must become aware of our thoughts and words. If it is true that “thoughts create,” what are you sending out most of the time? Keep track of your inventory of thoughts and words so that you can realize your dreams.

Dr. Patricia Crane said in her book,” Ordering from the Cosmic Kitchen stated,

“In this moment, I choose to believe that I deserve a wonderful life. I lovingly notice any limiting thoughts and gently weed them from my inner garden. I choose positive, nurturing, thought patterns for myself.”

Crane compares knowing what we want in life to knowing what we want in a restaurant. You are handed a menu and have to decide what you want in order to tell the waitress. The same holds true in life, you must begin to tell the Universe all that you want. We do that with every thought we think and word that we say—so we are sometimes choosing by default. Why not consciously affirm that which we want in all areas of our life?

2. Affirmations by Stuart Wilde, a small book with big ideas.

Affirmations Work!

” Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become character.Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. “ Authur Unknown

Whenever any one of us sets out to make big changes in our lives, whether it is physical, spiritual, emotional, or intellectual, you would set a goal for yourself. These goals are results that we would like to see in our lives. Perhaps you want a better career, a more loving relationship, or a little more money in the bank. These are all results that you can achieve in your life. This is where affirmations can hurt or help you achieve your intended outcome.Results can come with consistent application of the affirmation process.

Dr. Louise Hay says that whatever we say, think or write is an affirmation. What you consistenly “tell yourself”is what you will become. In order to change the results you need to change your thoughts ( which will lead to changed feelings and actions). The simplest way to transform your thoughts is through the consistent use of affirmations.

Stella Terrill Mann, a Unity minister taught in the 1940′s to greet each morning with the affirmation, “Blessed be the morn for me and mine.” At noon declare,” Blessed be the day for me and mine.” and in the evening , say “Blessed be the evening for me and mine.”This  simple yet powerful set of blessings  can bring positive changes into your life if practiced consistently. As you work, affirm,” My work is a prayer for good for me and mine.”

Start today affirming a good life for yourself. Then begin to take inventory of the blessings as they pour forth into your life. So much happens to us in our daily lives  that we oftentimes fail to acknowledge the blessings as they occur. Write it down to focus on it and more will come for what we focus on expands.

“Affirmations are one of the most powerful ways to create a vibrational match for what you want to attract into your life.” Jack Canfield
