As Great As Your Dominant Aspiration

"Whatever your present environment may be, you will remain, fall or rise with your thoughts, your Vision, your Ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration." ~ James Allen

You will remain, fall or rise with you thoughts. Wow! Think about that! You get to decide to remain, fall or rise, all based on what you think. I know that you know this...but do you believe it and know it without a doubt? Sometimes that's the hard part, we know it intellectually, but can't make it a part of our consciousness.

You will become as small as your controlling desire. What is your controlling desire. Does it really benefit you? Does it allow for your greatness to be seen? Or is it holding you from your greatness?

You will be as great as your dominant aspiration! What's your dominant aspiration? Is it life changing? Is it world changing? Is it something that drives you every day or just something you pull out when people ask you what it is?

It is your choice! You will become as small as your controlling desire or as great as your dominant aspiration. Choose wisely.

Are You A Creature Of The Commonplace?

“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.” ~Sir Cecil Beaton

Are you daring? Different? Impractical? What sets you apart from everybody else? Really? Do you have an imaginative vision of what is ahead for you or are you just trucking on down the road, without a thought of what's ahead?

A slave to the ordinary...is that you? Are you a creature of the commonplace? It's real easy to get into a rut of the ordinary. You know what the definition of a rut is? It is a coffin with the ends kicked out, that's what a rut is. Think about that as you go about your day, the same way, day after day after day.

Wilfred Peterson said "Big Thinking precedes great achievement."  You will never make a difference being ordinary or thinking ordinary. You won't be known for being a creature of the commonplace if you think BIG!

How can you step out of the ordinary, out of the commonplace? It's different for each individual and you need to seek it out for yourself. I challenge you as this new year is getting started to step out of the ordinary, to be different, to be daring. I challenge you to stop being a "play-it-safer" kind of person.  Become a BIG thinker.

Enlarge Your Life

“We lift ourselves by our thought, we climb upon our vision of ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, always, everywhere - your ideal of what you long to attain - the ideal of health, efficiency, success."~Orison Swett Marden

We lift ourselves by out thought! Think about that. We lift ourselves by our thought. What are you thinking? Is it positive or negative? I hope that it is positive. If it is negative, WHY are you thinking it? I mean really, why spend time thinking negatively? What does it get you? MORE negativity!

Do you want to enlarge your life? What would that look like for you? What would you be, have or do if you enlarged your life? To enlarge your life, you need to enlarge your thinking. Are you ready to do it? Doing it once is easy, even doing it for a day is easy...it's about doing each and every day, without question. You can do it, you just need to commit to doing it.

Hold the ideal of what you long to be. "Fake it till you make it." People say that's not authentic. It is authentic... for your future! Want to know your future? Look at what you are doing today. What you do today will determine who you become. Is that a good thing or do you need to work on it for a while? Are you doing the things that you need to do to become who you want to become?

Lift yourself by your thoughts. It will only cost you changing the way you think. Can you do that? I think so...

What Are You Prepared To See?

“People only see what they are prepared to see.”~Ralph Waldo Emerson

What are you prepared to see? Are you prepared to see great things or are you only prepared to see average things, or worse yet, only seeing bad things? Why do you think that is? What is preventing you from seeing what you really want to see?  Fear?  Lack?

Most people aren't prepared to see great things for themselves.  Are you one of those people? If so, realize that you are the only one who can make great things happen for you.  No one else is going to come to you and make great things happen for you.  It's your choice to decide to see great things for yourself because if you don't, they will never happen!

You have seen and done things up until now. You have brought yourself to where you are now.  The choices you have made in what you are seeing have dictated where you are now.  Are you where you want to be? If not, it might be because you aren't prepared to see what is in store for you.

Are you expanding your vision? Opening not just your eyes, but also your mind? They say that "when you see it, you will believe it," but I would say that in addition to that, "when you believe it, you will see it." What are you ready to believe?  What are you ready to see?

Gratitude Unlocks The Fullness Of Life

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ~ Melody Beattie

Are you grateful? Not just because it's the day before Thanksgiving, but are you grateful for EVERYTHING that happens to you in your life? Many people aren't. Look at the quote again and all the good things that gratitude does for us...you would think we would live perpetually in gratitude...but we don't.

It takes work to be grateful. It's not our natural thought pattern. It's a challenge to our normal way of thinking. But it's worth it! Gratitude is a vibration that's one of the highest vibrations that we can have. Gratitude allows the Law of Attraction to work almost effortlessly in our lives.

William Faulkner said “Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and
discharged and used up in order to exist at all.” You can't keep gratitude bottled up, you must discharge it. It's a great cycle, produce - discharge, produce again - discharge again. The more you discharge, the more you will have to be grateful for!

Action:
Make today a gratitude day and have gratitude for EVERYTHING that happens today. Feel that vibrational high and stay there as long as you can! Produce gratitude and then discharge it, over and over.

Past Your Comfort Zone There's A Pleasant Surprise

"Somewhere out past where you're now comfortable, there's a pleasant surprise. Beyond what you already know you can do, there are exciting and fulfilling and new things you'll be able to do.

It's a very short distance between what you think you can do and what you don't think you can do. That distance is the size of just one thought.

Once you decide that it is possible for you, it is possible for you. Once you have the thought that it can be done, it can be done.

The world you experience is contained within the world you expect to experience. Expect more, and suddenly a whole new set of possibilities will open up to you.

Ask yourself what you would like to be able to expect. Then go ahead and bring your expectations in line with your desires.

Each day is an opportunity to grow beyond yourself while at the same time more fully expressing your authentic self. Touch your highest vision, expect it to happen, and you'll surely see your way there."

It's never too late to be who you were meant to be.

Your Comfort Zone

“A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.” ~Denis Waitley

How often are you out of your comfort zone? Really? Think about it because I would bet that you are in it more than you think. What is your creative vision for your life? Does your creative vision allow you to feel comfortable outside of your comfort zone? If you are stuck in your comfort zone then you aren't growing. And if you aren't growing, you are shrinking. There is no middle ground, no status quo, no staying the same.

Peter McWilliams said “To the degree we're not living our dreams, our comfort zone has more control of us than we have over ourselves.” Has your comfort zone taken over your dreams and your life? Too often we don't even realize it until it's too late. Well, it's not too late! GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!! START LIVING YOUR DREAMS! NOW! What are you waiting for?

The Vision in Your Mind

"The vision that you glorify in your mind, either you revere or you fear."~James Allen

Any thought that is either feared or revered gathers energy around it and becomes the life we build. This will become you. What you resist, persists. Did you realize that? Most people spend too much time thinking about the things they don't want as opposed to the things they want. The result? They get more of what they don't want!! Spend more time on the things you want rather than on the things you don't.

Chris Lee said "Everything you've done in life - the good, the bad - have all brought you to this moment. Someone out there obviously wants you to do something significant, right now. That person is you." Do you want to do something significant? I think most people do, but they don't know what. Look inside, everything you've done in life has brought you to this moment. That's where you will find your gift to the world. Inside you.

I Give You Permission

"We need to give ourselves permission to act out our dreams and visions, not look for more sensations, more phenomena, but live our strongest dreams -- even if it takes a lifetime."~ Vijali Hamilton

Have you given yourself permission to act out your dreams and visions? Really? Most people are waiting for someone else to give them permission. If you are waiting, here it is: I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO ACT OUT YOUR DREAMS!! See, that wasn't so hard, was it? You have been given permission.

Are you looking for more sensations and more phenomena? SQUIRREL!!!!
See, most of us are too busy adding on, looking for more and more when the best thing to do is take things that don't work away, instead of just adding to what we do. When what we have all works for us, it allows us to live our strongest dreams.

Action:
Give yourself permission or take the permission that I bequeath to you. Act out your dreams and visions. Take things away that don't work for you anymore.

What are You Prepared to See?

"People only see what they are prepared to see."~Ralph Waldo Emerson

What are you prepared to see? It is good or bad? Why?

Are you open to new things, things that may not be your usual fare? If you only see what you are prepared to see, how can you open up your vision? Not you sight, but your vision.

Don't stay in the rut that you are in. Open up your vision to new things. Stretch your mind, out of it's comfort zone and see what happens. Be prepared to see anything!

Being prepared to see anything will allow you to see everything. Don't stay closed to new things just because you aren't prepared to see them. Allow yourself the freedom to see new things.
