I found this awesome quote on Pinterest.com by Eleanor Roosevelt. I
decided to blog about it because lately I find myself in the midst of small
minds. With that being said, I am making a conscious decision to remove myself
from those types of situations. In order to create our best life and to attract
great things to ourselves, we have to stay in the light, meaning we need to
surround ourselves with positive people who are discussing ideas and things
that will help us to be better in some shape or form whether it's financially,
spiritually, mentally or socially.
As Proverbs 4:23 says, "We have to guard our hearts because
everything flows from it". So if we allow negative people, music or TV
shows into our hearts, our spirit-man which is our true nature begins to fade
and we end up lost and caught up in this human experience, thinking this is all
there is. But as spirit be-ings we have to understand that there is so much
more to this life than what we see with our carnal eyes. We have to turn off
the TV, shut down the computer and spend time in prayer and meditation which
will lead us to our purpose. Yep, I'm letting it all out in this one.
There are tons of inspiration bible scriptures, spiritual verses,
quotes and books about the mind. One of my favorites comes from the bible:
 |
| As a Man thinketh, in his heart so is he Proverbs 23:7 |
The other is a simple book entitled Don't let your mind
stunt your growth by Dr. Brian E. Robinson, PhD. There are several
great books about your thinking: James Allen, As A Man Thinketh, Napoleon
Hill, Think and Grow Rich, Ernest Holmes Creative Mind just to
name a few.
All of these offer insight as to why things happen to us and why we
allow certain things and people in our lives. Your life is shaped and formed by
your thoughts, beliefs and actions. Your thoughts create things and whatever
you believe to be true will be true for you. So if you believe that you will
never meet the love of your life or that person doesn't exist then guess what?
You will never meet the love of your life. If you believe it's hard to make
money or you'll never be wealthy then that's exactly what will show up in your life;
lack, struggle and poverty. If you keep attracting the same situation or the
same type of person over and over again, it's very possible that you have some
limiting beliefs that are blocking you from moving forward. If undiscovered,
those limiting beliefs can keep you in a cycle of dismay and regret. Some
people go through a lifetime living this way and never understand why these
things keep happening to them. If you get nothing else out of this blog, please
know and understand that you are a co-creator with God and you are constantly
creating whether it's positive things or negative things. Take a close look at
your life and see what you've created thus far. If you're pleased with your
results then good for you but if you're not so pleased or you have areas that
need help, ponder how you feel about these areas and examine yourself to see
what limiting belief you may hold that's blocking you from being successful in
that area. I encourage you to change your thoughts in order to change your life
because your mind is a very powerful organic machine. After all, you really are
what you think you are.
