Reflection Action Point Wisdoms of Life: 12 Life Lessons from Noah, www.asamanthinketh.net Inspirational Quote  -------------------------------------------------------------   Your Mental and Spiritual states! Hello [[name]], If you are still struggling with a change in your life, then I would suggest that you set aside every thinking and action  and look more closely at your mental and spiritual states.  Let me tell you this: you do not attract that which you want, but that which you are. This is because the conditions of your inner states determine what you get. In order words, before you can move forward and achieve what you earnestly yearn for, your mental and spiritual states have to harmonize with the basic principles of true prosperity. You  cannot harbour fear, anxiety, doubts or inner restlessness and expect to see outstanding results manifesting. Are you fighting against circumstances?  If you are, then consider this: whatever circumstance it may be, it has not made you, but reveals YOU to yourself! In the light of this truth, it is clear that when you rebel against outward situation while you continue to nourish and to preserve the cause within, you are fighting a never ending battle.  Here is an example to clarify. Let's say, you are anxious to improve your present financial situation which probably has had you worried for a while. You are running around trying to find a better job, while you continue to neglect the present job because it no longer appeals to you. The thoughts and attitudes you are evoking toward the present job cannot help to attract better conditions until you decide to give your full attention to your present responsibility.    Look at it this way: You cannot fill a hole with a bottomless bowl  and continue to pour water into the bowl while expecting it to fill up! You need to give your 100% concentration and focus to things of the present no matter how small they may be. Attitude of mediocrity only attracts more dissatisfaction, which you invariably have to deal with sooner or later.     We are often too anxious to improve our dis-satisfying circumstances but unwilling to improve ourselves. This therefore results in inner bondage instead of inner freedom. When you readily begin to examine yourself and your thoughts, by "not sparing the rod and spoiling the child", you'll begin to witness remarkable changes in all your  circumstances. Because the first rule to getting what you want is to alter your mental condition through self control and self inner purification.           You cannot directly choose your circumstances, but you can choose your thoughts, and so indirectly, but surely shape your circumstances.    REFLECTION -Don't clip back the wings of your spirit. Let your spirit soar with   conviction and joy of success.   -Banish all struggles and negative- or self doubting talks of   "maybes".   -Stand firm in the belief that your spirit will guide you to   see the day and the light of your conscious, consistent   efforts, as long as you keep your mental state peaceful   and your spirit surging forward!    -What kind of thoughts do you create at random?  Most random thoughts are very scattered and untrained.  These thoughts clog our paths to inner clarity and  focussed actions. -How can you apply the ability you now possess to pull you   towards deeper confidence and inner serenity?     ACTION POINT When you wake up in the morning, say out loudly YES to whatever you have planned for the day. It has been proven that our body releases chemical reactions to positive as well as to negative vibrations. Increase your vibrational energy by feeling really excited about what you want to manifest in your life. Create an object that constantly reminds you of what you want to achieve. Place this object in a place where you mostly feel discouragement or doubt creeping up. Anytime you glimpse the object let your joy and belief soar and you are right on purpose again. This is referred to as 'physical anchor'. This could be a favourite picture,  or a symbol.  Determine to commit to doing whatever it takes to arrive at your set goals, by swinging in the natural forces of Creation, through balanced movement, inner harmony, practising kindness and gratitude.     Love your life and enjoy being alive every single day.         WISDOMS OF LIFE  1.  12 Life Lessons from Noah ONE: Don't miss the boat.
