Hold Onto Faith

Pixabay - ju_sajjad0

There are times in our life when we feel like it is so hard to hold onto our faith. Whether it is faith in love, faith in humanity, faith in success, faith in family, whatever it is, it is hard. It those times, it is most important to hang onto your faith and not let anything get in the way of it.

Your faith is a delicate thing. It can be snatched right out from under you and leave you on your butt. On the other hand, it can give you want your soul yearns for - love. To have faith, you must look for your blessings. To look for your blessings, you must have positive consciousness. Basically, what that means is you are always striving to stay positive, even in the hardest of times. I know first hand how difficult it can be to grasp for something that may seem non-existent during times of negativity. 

Why do we give up our faith so easily? It's like, when something happens that affects us in a way that makes us feel bad, we quickly disregard the importance of love and hope. 

My advice for all of you that are going through a hard time is never give up your faith. Never give up the love within yourself that will show you the light in darkness.

Power

Let's Talk POWER...

Power, its one of our most priceless personal assets, but we tend to give it away, and in some cases, throw it away to any person or situation that upsets us. We feel powerful and strong when things are going our way, its easy to do that. But the measure of True POWER is standing strong in the moment of adversity. Great people did not achieve greatness by throwing the towel in, by throwing themselves a pity party, by giving there power up to difficulties. NO! They stood tall and pushed through no matter what! They had that.....”Nothing and no one is going to stop me attitude!” I believe weakness is nothing more then a habit we picked up and learned. The good news about that is, habits can be broken. Being comfortable with your own power can be achieved! It takes practice. When you catch yourself feeling weak, stop, recognize it and be willing to change it. All it takes is a decision! Decide to know and hold on to your power.

I had a cat named Talula. She was old and feeble (but not really). She knew her power. When my daughters mastiff, Scarlet, would visit. This huge mountain of a dog would quiver at the sight of the small simple cat. I use to laugh and say, “that dog does not know her power, but that cat sure does.” I can't help but believe we are the same way in life. A small situation arises in our life and hisses at us and we quiver in the presence of it because we perceive it to be much stronger, bigger and more powerful then us. But in truth, we are so much more powerful then anything that confronts us. We just need to hold on to that power, through thick and thin. Power is like a muscle, the more you use it the stronger you will get. Faith and trust in your self are the barbells to help develop this muscle. So don't let anything stand in the way of your happiness and peace! Know your Power!

Experiment #4 - Are you being specific?!

Ready to hear my results from the last experiment?! First, let me share that I had to skip over one of the experiments because I did not have the proper materials to go through with it 100%. I do plan to go back to do it at some point, but for now I moved on to the next experiment.

You might have heard when it comes to the Law of Attraction, we must be specific to what we want. We cannot just say I want enough money to get me by. The reason for this is because the Universe as well as our subconscious minds do not know that when you say 'enough' you might mean one million dollars. But, you might be feeling or sending vibrations out there that could send the message that 'enough' to you means one thousand dollars due to fear, doubt, or maybe even resistance that you have associated with money. So you see the problem here?

Whenever you are creating what you want to be as specific as possible. Have as many details written down as possible! If you want to create a pet dog for yourself, write down and focus on the details of what you want - what breed, what color, boy or girl, etc.

The clearer the image is of what you want, the easier it will be to visualize it and bring it into it's physical form! That is what this experiment is all about, being specific!

I had 48 hours to create something specific. I chose to bring into my life purple flowers. I was only specific with the color, but wanted to see how it would go because I was having a hard time picking something to test this experiment on.

My Results:
I feel as though I had better results with the other two experiments that I've completed. My husband and I were using his computer for something and at the end he closed out of his browser and there were the purple flowers! They were on his desktop background. I may not have created them to have in my hands physically but I did bring them into my world in some way! If I had tried a little bit harder on this experiment, I truly believe that I could have created it physically, but now I know for future creations to spend more time on bringing it to me in a more physical form!

What are you creating in your life? Are you being specific to it's description? We would like to hear! Please share with us. (:

It's a Choice

It seems like it has become popular to give up on being positive and this 'lifestyle' after a certain amount of time. I'm not sure why this is, but I can say that I have experienced this multiple time. 

Photo Cred - Pixabay (fancycrave1) 

In the past, I have made the choice to be positive and look for the good in everything. Usually, I keep it up for a few weeks but then I give up at it. Research has shown us that it takes 21 days to create a habit. Now, some may say, believe, or think that bigger tasks might take longer than the 21 day mark. Why do we give up on ourselves in this way? Mostly because those negative factors come in and take over when the positive factors aren't strong enough yet. I think that probably plays a major role in it. 

I have made the vow to myself to not stray off the path this time. I have been doing it for about a month and a half now and my drive for wanting to stay positive is stronger than ever! I know for a fact that I don't want to look back at my life at the age of 50 and regret all the years I wasted. I want to live a fulfilled life doing things that excite me and bring me joy! You should want this too!!! 

A few things that I have been doing to keep myself on this straight and narrow path of posivity... 

1. I have one person that is my rock in this and that person is my husband. If he sees me falling down into the dumps of negativity, he helps lift me right back up where I belong. For his kindness and care, I am so grateful!

2. I try to broaden my knowledge every day. I try to grow every day in a way that I wasn't yesterday. In that past, I didn't do this and you wouldn't believe how much it has been helping me this time around!!

3. I stay aware of my thoughts and actions. This isn't always easy to do but very rewarding when I am able to stick with it. By staying aware, I can catch myself if I am having a bad thought or reliving a negative experience from my past. Easily, I am able to change it over to the good and focus my attention on my blessings. 

Now, nobody is perfect. There are days we may stray away a little bit. There are days I stray away a little bit and that is okay! The important thing to do is recognize we are straying and try to do something to pick ourselves back up! 

What do you do to keep yourself lifted up, positive, and focused on a more fulfilled and rewarding life?

Never Stop Learning

I want to remind everyone to continue their self-growth and always continue to learn! Just because we are no longer in school doesn't mean we have to stop learning! 

Every day, there is always something that can be learned in any area of your life. We choose not to seek the knowledge, but the knowledge is vital for our self-growth and performance as human beings!

You might say something along the lines of, "Well, I'm not a good learner or reader." STOP! I don't want to hear that negativity!! You are better than that. I have faith that you can continue learning and you should too! Sometimes learning new things gives me the inspiration I need to get to that next step in life. I love continuing my growth. It is something that makes me excited to get out of bed in the morning! We all should be excited for this!

My challenge for you today is to get up and learn something; whether it is at the grocery store or in a book. Try to learn something new for your soul and see how good it feels!

Comfort Zone

Comfort Zone - A place, situation, or level where someone feels confident and comfortable.
(Merriam Webster) 

We all love to be in our comfort zones, right? This is a place where we don't have any anxiety or fear or doubt so it's only normal that we wouldn't want to leave this relaxing, promising place. 

Through my recent studies on the law of attraction and getting what you want, I've come to a realization. One that I think is very important. I am not one who takes risks. I'm more so the one saying, "That sounds risky, maybe we shouldn't do that". And what that is, is my fear holding me back. I know this. We have to learn to take risks! It is essential to grow. 

I want you to ask yourself. What is in my comfort zone? You should realize that all that is in your comfort zone is what you currently have. Now, you might say well I don't like having a lack of money. That is a good point. You may not like it, but for some reason you are comfortable with it. This is when you should do some work on yourself to try and figure out why you are so comfortable with what you have and where you are in life. That is a different subject altogether. 

Ask yourself, "What do I really want? If I could have anything right now what would it be?" You might answer with, I want a beautiful, big home on a farm with a barn. As of right now, your desire is outside of your comfort zone. If it was inside of your comfort zone, you would already have it. And this is what I mean when I say we need to take risks. The risk is removing ourselves from our levels of comfort and going to where we have never been before. When we are outside of it, we will be on the same playing field as our desire. In turn, we will be closer to it and once we are comfortable in that area, we will  be in the same zone as our desire, and quite possibly changing it from its imaginative state to it's physical form.

I want to challenge everyone to do one positive thing today that removes you from your comfort zone. I know this may be scary, but see if you can do it! Challenge yourself!

Let's Imagine...

You hear over and over from many different authors, “act as if” you already have what you want. Sometime that can be difficult when you obviously don’t have it in your possession at the moment. It can be frustrating because you feel like your lying to yourself. And when you lie to yourself you can make matters worse. Well, today I would like to help you with that.

According to Bob Procter, “Everything you are seeking is seeking you in return. Therefore, everything you want is already yours. So you don't have to get anything; it is simply a matter of becoming more aware of what you already possess.”

In other words, its already here and its yours, you just have to get into vibrational harmony with it. And if this is true, which I believe it is, we need to convince our minds that what we are seeking has just been misplaced. I'm sure we all have misplaced something at one time or another, we KNOW we have it, we just don't see it. Or how many times were you looking for something and you found something else that you didn't even know you had. I know I have several times. So, if you can accept that you KNOW you have it, and can feel it and declare it, your on your way to receiving it!

So, lets JUST IMAGINE, for a moment, you found what you were seeking.How would that make feel? What would be the first thing you would do? How grateful would you be? Who would you share the good news with? Feel it and picture it in your mind, as long as you can. More then 16 seconds is always good. Do this when ever you think of what it is you want.

That all being said. If you're in a negative mood and you're feeling down, and feeling lack. It won't work. You can't get there from here. You can't be miserable and say positive affirmations and do positive visualization. You would be struggling. Struggling is working against the flow. You need to lift your vibration first. You need to FEEL better. You can do that by meditating, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques, Tapping) listening to music, go for a walk, dance, a nap or a shower. What ever will cheer you up. Once you get to a place where you can put a smile on your face, you're ready to go!

Take Charge!

The reason for my post today is to inspire you to take charge of your own life and not let others affect your path. 

Have you ever experienced someone else putting you down? Telling you or convincing you that you are not good enough or what you are trying to accomplish is just silly. I think this is something that has happened to all of us at some point. 

We have to program ourselves to not care what others think of us. We live in a society of such diversity that, at times, makes it hard for us to stay focused on our own journey. 

Some tips...

1. Build your confidence! Nothing is more important than this, because without it, you will be at the mercy of everyone else's opinions and thoughts of yourself. In turn, you will let them blind you from the potential of a happy life! 

2. Stay focused on yourself! Everyone is living their own life. If you feel like someone is ahead of you or behind you. STOP thinking about where they are - only focus on where you are and where you want to be. 

3. Surround yourself with people who inspire and lift you up! If you find that one of your friends may bring you down with constant complaining or always makes you feel bad for doing this or that - distance yourself! It may be hard at first, but you will thank yourself later for it.

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lets Make a Change

I strongly believe that the subconscious mind plays a strong role in the Law of Attracting what we want. Our subconscious hold our beliefs and what we have been programmed to prior in life through feelings, memories, experiences, etc. For example, you might have a memory of when you were a child and you ate tacos for the first time. You were excited to try something new, however for some reason they made you sick. So now, you are programmed one of two ways - you hate tacos now or you don't like to try new things because that one time you did, it made you sick. Or you could be holding on to both!

If you are stuck in a spot of attracting what you don't want then most likely you are feeding your subconscious mind with feelings of lack, fear, doubt. All we have to do is convert those bad feelings and emotions to good ones! Once we convert them, they will be given to our subconscious mind.

Our subconscious mind does not fight back what we are sending it. It will simply comply with whatever commands we give it. So, if you are feeling a negative feeling from a certain experience, your subconscious mind believes it to be true (even if it is not), and will give you the results that match those feelings.

Lets try and change some of those bad feelings with positive affirmations! There are affirmations for every area of life. You can even make up your own!

Some of my daily affirmations consist of the following: 

I see myself in high places spiritually, emotionally, and physically. 
I bring forward opportunity after opportunity to myself. 
I am successful and wealthy.
I now see myself with abundance and prosperity.

Be Your Own Creator!

You are your own creator! 

When will all of mankind begin to realize that each and every person has their own destiny right in the palm of their hands? It's true. We are our own creators. Not many of us realize the true power we hold within ourselves. That is the biggest tragedy of them all!

If only everyone knew the control they had over their lives. Now obviously we realize we control our lives to a certain extent. A lot of us don't see that we control EVERYTHING about our lives. We can control the desires and the struggles. 

We create our struggles by putting fear, worry, doubt, etc. into these worries. By giving them attention with those negative thoughts, we are feeding them - much like giving water to a plant. With the proper care, you will have a beautiful garden (positive) - or a field full of weeds (negative). You just have to choose which you want and apply the proper techniques in your life to reach your goal.

So in essence, if we want that beautiful garden, we have to water the seeds in the correct fashion. Feed your mind positive thoughts about your desire, like gratitude, love, and faith. That is just the beginning; but a great start!

Be your own creator - don't wait until tomorrow, life is short!
