Changing I

       My whole life, I’ve always wanted more than what I had. I have learned if you work for something you can have anything as long as you put in the work. If you love what you do you can have it much sooner than later. I have had many ups to this. But life has a way of distracting you from advancing, from getting everything you desire in life.

       I have a wonderful family and I try to pass everything I have learned to my children. But I can’t help feeling like a fraud! I speak the words, I tell them about all the powers they possess and how to use them. I have great stories and examples of how these powers changed my life. But, the one thing that I haven’t done is change I from obese to physically fit! The first thing people see is my outer appearance. Being an obese man is frustrating; there are so many limitations, so many physical activities I cannot participate in without causing harm to I!

       The one thing missing is a desire to change I! This desire has helped me see my path, to imagine how I’d look and feel being physically fit. This desire comes at a cost. To keep it burning, I must pay a price, which is giving up the one thing that wastes more of my precious time than anything else I do. Watch TV!!!

       I haven’t watched TV for a week and already been to gym 5 times, I work out at home every night at the times I usually binge watch my favorite shows! After 30 days I’ll watch my favorite teams play and shows with my wife, but never will I let it stop me from my desires again!!!

My Routine

    As I kiss my wife goodbye this morning, I refilled my coffee cup and headed to the backyard to have a smoke. Then wash the smell off and I lie down and watch my shows that I’ve been waiting to see all week. I forget that my truck needs service, the yard needs work, my garage is a wreck, I haven't been to the gym in a week and  I need to login to work and clear my Que. What am I doing?

   This has become my routine, my living experience!! So many things I can do but I choose to do the same things each time I come home from working out of town. I forget that I promised myself that I wasn’t going to smoke anymore! That I was going to make the most of my days off! If I am in control of my life, to do whatever I want, why then do I not do what I want?

   I can come up with a ton of conspiracies that our minds are being controlled by the elite! But in reality I choose. It’s up to me to break the routine, the same experience. We have many powers that lay dormant until we forget their there, we forget that we even have these powers.

  

  ; Will power, focus, consistency, determination, desire, passion, enthusiasm, momentum, perseverance, imagination and the power of thought. Not to mention all the positive emotions that gives us strength!!

   

  At times I am a coward, hiding behind fear. I must remember the times that I defeated fear! I was scared to death to take my contractor’s license exam. I had to pay for the course and then I had to pay for the exam. Then, if I passed, I’d have to pay all the insurances and bonds. I made myself sick just thinking of it the night before the exam. But I persevered. Everything worked out. At the time I didn’t know how but it did! Fear of the unknown, the fear of success, fear of change, is all unreal! It doesn’t exist until we make it real we give it power over ourselves! I have everything at my command! I cannot be afraid to do anything and I cannot be afraid if I actually accomplish what I set out to do!

   

  In the past few years I have come to the conclusion that life can be taken away at any monument. I almost died in a car accident but I survived, I survived the worst mass shooting in history! I have asked myself several times WHY? The only thing left is to tell my story my experience, as a being, having this amazing human experience!!! 

Intensive focus

       As human beings, we have many powers, many universal laws to guide us and physical abilities. This week’s subject is extreme focus influenced by Robert Monroe.

Our minds are more powerful than we know. By lining up all our thoughts into one thought, by focusing on one thought, one moment, the now, you will have the ability to control the moment, the now!

Intensive focus of your attention your concentration will allow you to control your physical actions. Focusing this way creates the perfect shot, the perfect swing, the perfect pitch and the right move at the right time.

As you fill your mind with one thought, say the perfect shot. Visualize a time when you couldn’t miss! Feel that feeling; let it flow through you as nothing else can exist as you focus all your attention all your concentration and you will be in total control of that moment when the basket is larger than you’ve ever seen!

If you’re playing in a big game or giving a presentation, on an interview, taking a mid-term or cooking dinner, we are able to manipulate each outcome by choosing intense focus, concentration. 

We do this by deciding to be in a super state of awareness. Most of the time we are on auto-pilot and act and react not knowing what kind of state were in! But if you can intensify your focus you will become aware of the super state you’re in by clearing your mind to one thought, controlling the now!

I am the light

     I once believed that being good, doing good, helping others, would make me a good person. I found that doing all these good deeds never made me good at all! It frustrated me!! I would do all these good deeds and I still was the same. I saw others do far less and advance much farther than me. I saw others benefit and never lift a finger for anyone else! I questioned myself. All the good deeds I do for what? I still am the same person; I still am in the same place going round and round. Nothing gained but a few good deeds that make me feel resentful!

      Then one day, I found a book. In it, it talked about a moth attracted to a flame. Round and round the moth flew around the flame until the moth burnt up in the flame. It got to close and died. So I thought. The moth was so attracted to the flame it became the flame. At that moment the moth was no longer a moth but it became the flame.

      I was so intent on doing good, helping others, doing good deeds I became the opposite. My failure was not on doing good deeds it was on expecting the good deeds to make me good! All one needs is to be the flame! I wanted to be good, I wanted to feel good and all I needed to do was to make a decision to be good, feel the good in me. Immerse myself in goodness that I am!

      I’ve been told my whole life that God is in us all, that I need to trust in God for all things. I still believe this. Only now, I’ve begun to make decisions that lead me to my goals fulfilled, my daily routines to give me results I want. My dreams are coming true day by day. Because of one simple fact; That God is my light and I have the ability to create my life and everything in it exactly the way I want it to be. I must trust that no matter how bright the light I go around, no harm will ever come because I am the light!!!
