Gaia: UNIVERSAL HUMAN BEING - THINKING

Worry VS. Reflection

http://vrs.gaia.com — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 07:18:14 GMT

Just came up with an insight that I think might be rich for you. It's about the distinction between worry and reflection. So many thought leaders counsel us to avoid living in the past. "Live in the now," they advise. "Enjoy the moment." Well, I get what they are saying. But isn't there something good about going back and delighting in the delicious moments of the journey we've arrived from?

Which brings me to worry versus reflection. Whether to revisit the past - in my mind - depends on your intention. If your intention and reason to go back into your past is to dwell on bad things and to worry over things you cannot change and to rehash painful times, then I suggest it's an unhealthy act. But, if your intention - in going back in time - is to reflect on the lessons events have taught you and to grow in wisdom and to savor the precious memories that you were blessed enough to experience well then I think it's good.

I guess what I'm inviting you to consider is that it's a waste of time to fret and regret over things you've done that cannot be changed. But that it's a fantastic use of time to bask in the good times, feel gratitude for them and use your past to serve your future rise.

Dear VRS

Thank you for your wise words.

Clarity precedes mastery ....................., focusing and being completely clear on what you do want, to the very last detail. some would draw the picture or write it out in greater detail - and then let it go in order for the universe to deliver.......

there is a book called Ask and It Is Given by Esther & Jerry Hicks....do you know of it? http://www.askanditisgiven.com

You Find What You Seek

http://vrs.gaia.com — Sat, 16 Sep 2006 13:09:56 GMT

Every second you spend thinking about what you don't want in your life is a second denying focus and energy from getting what you do want. Every minute you worry about what's not working is a minute drawn away from creating what will work. And every hour spent reflecting on the disappointments of the past is an hour stolen from seeing the possibilities that your future holds.

What I've discovered in my own life is that I see more of what I look for. Clarity precedes mastery (big idea there) and the more clearly I look for what I want, the more powerfully I generate that result in my life. By setting clear goals in the important areas, I see more of what I'm searching for. By looking for the best in others, I generally find it. And by looking for the good things in my life and expressing gratitude for my blessings (rather than thinking about any problems), I see more of what's good.

Your thinking will create your reality. Your thoughts form your world? Why? Because you will never act against your thinking. Every action is the offspring of a thought. And your actions create the professional and personal life you find yourself in today.

World - Class Thinking

So what can you do to get to world-class within?

Make the time to invest in your self.
Become an extraordinary thinker.
Read from a great book for at least 60 minutes each day.
Listen to audio programs that will provoke you to live your "A" Game - at work and at home.
Talk to people who are greater than you (they'll pull you into their orbit).
Write in a journal.
Dream in silence on a regular basis.

Oh, and when it comes to dreaming, may I suggest that whatever you come up with, multiply it by a factor of ten. Because at the end of your life, you'll never regret having dreamed giant dreams.
