I think one of the greatest services we can do for others
is to do for ourselves and be an inspiration to our fellow humans by creating
and living our own dreams.  I confess that often when I want to do something new or a big change, I research and research how someone else did it. Then, after reading about 10 different other
people who did the thing that I want to do;  I think to myself “Oh I can’t do that I am not
qualified or educated in that field or experienced. Who am I to do “that” thing that I want to do?” And what happens next? I have talked myself right out of my brilliant idea that I want to do because of looking at “everyone” else on how to do it or express it.

At this point, I have come to know that two things are going on

1.) FEAR of change, going out of my comfort zone etc

2.) I am leaning on others experiences to do something that was put on my heart to do.

I am leaning on others by reading about them, checking out their websites, books, their “about me” page etc.  Then I compare me and my experience, education, etc. and then sometimes I call a few people and ask them about this and that and how I should proceed. After all that I decide” oh I can’t do that. I am not good enough. Why did I even think that?”  And I have defeated my own dream by leaning on others and not my own inner I AM, God and Universal Knowledge and inspiration.  How many times have you
done this?

This morning I was meditating on this particular big idea and how to go about it and I opened one of my favorite books, “Creative Mind and Success” by Earnest Holmes. I opened to this page: Don’t Be A Leaner.
Hmm, I am not a leaner I said to myself. I mean I make my own way blah
blah and all that I manage, coach and run a successful business.  Then it hit me, yeah, I am a leaner at times.  In summary it says that we are enough, we have our own God given genius within our souls. Our job is to unearth this genius from within and we can never do that by looking to others for guidance. The Divine spark must be fanned into a blaze of the living Fire of your own divinity.

To thine own self be true. Self-Reliance is the key to dwell upon. Listening to your own voice as it speaks to us in ways that are completely understood by us.  And to trust in yourself more than you trust in anyone else. Stop looking for others when you already know the answer, to your own question, dream, and desire.  I think a lot of times we are just afraid of the answer. That it might be too hard to do so we look to see if there is an easier, faster, less painless way to our dream or desire!  I know I can get caught in that
illusion.  I have also discovered and learned through experiences good and bad that it is better to face the fear and do it. Because when I am afraid to do something, I should do it. That is
usually my ego wanting to stay comfy and in the safe known area.

Every one of us has within our own soul’s direct communication with the Divine energy, Infinite Understanding. When we lean on other people we are trying to light our path with their light.

In the end of the short chapter it goes on stressing our own strength and oneness with Infinite Mind. It specifically advises: When you have a real thing to do, keep it to yourself.  Don’t talk about it to anyone. Just know in your own mind what it is you want and keep still about it.  Often, when we have a big idea we go out and blab to everyone about it and next thing you know it has lost all its power.  Because people respond by being confused, questioning or even laughing about it and it becomes confused and
then it is manifested as confused.

When you have an idea, keep it to yourself, be focused, get the mental picture of it,  make it
perfect in mind, enlarge your thought and pass it over to the creative power that is behind all things, wait and listen and when an impression comes to you, trust it no matter how crazy and follow it with assurance.  Never talk about it to anyone. Never talk negative or pay any attention to negativity and you will succeed where others fail.

Blessings all around you.

Thoughts Are Things

I hold it true that thoughts are things;

They’re endowed with bodies and breath and wings;

And that we send them forth to fill

The world with good results, or ill.

That which we call our secret thought

Speeds forth to earth’s remotest spot,

Leaving its blessings or its woes

Like tracks behind it as it goes.

We build our future, thought by thought,

For good or ill, yet know it or not.

Yet so the universe was wrought.

Thought is another name for fate;

Choose then thy destiny and wait,

For love brings love and hate brings hate.

– Henry Van Dyke

Take a look around you right this moment and see what you have reaped from the thoughts you have sown.  Are you experiencing love, prosperity, happiness, success???? Or are you experiencing less than? 

 All of our thoughts have brought us where we are today – good or bad whether you know it or not.  Take capitive of every thought you have and remember that love assumes the best!

Many Blessings,

Cheri

All doors open now  for happy surprises and the Divine Plan of my life is speeded up under grace.

I love this affirmation and wanted to share it with you all. To me this affirmation just makes you smile when you say it.

Say or write this affirmation 40 times every morning before you start your day and 40 times every night before going to sleep. You can say it as a mantra as you meditate or as you are going about your day. Affirmations work wonders in our lives and really help us focus on the good in a general way which opens up all channels for our good to come to us in Divine ways.

Try it or any affirmation that “connects” with you or one that gives you a positive charge for one month every day as perscribed above and watch the good that comes flowing into your life.

This particular affirmation is from Florence Scovel Shinn, who was a pioneer of motivational thinking and an inspirational writer of her time.

Many Blessings,

Cheri
