Life
Is For Living
A
friend died this week from cancer. Apart from the personal sadness
of seeing her go, especially in that way, two things occurred
to me. One, never call it "The Big C" or "battling
cancer"- we let it defeat us from the get-go by creating
an image of an all powerful, unbeatable disease. Two, and far
more important, is that each moment of life is precious ... none
of us know how long our journey on the planet is going to be ...
so find all the reasons to live.
Do
you look forward to living a long, happy, and healthy life? I
mean does the excitement of that cross your mind every day? Why
not? If you see a future that is bright, you'll be at peace with
what life holds for you. It's all a game really - this game of
life.
Anticipate
with joy what is to come. Are you focusing on the problems or
the solutions? And if there are no immediately obvious solutions,
can you visualise AS IF there are no challenges ... visualise
yourself travelling the world, experiencing many amazing things,
and accomplishing unbelievable dreams. Can you take yourself,
in your mind, to a place where you see yourself demolishing the
barriers that you feel surround you today?
When
you wake up in the morning, be thankful to be alive and healthy.
Every day, you have dozens of reasons to get out of bed and live
life to the fullest.
For
a start, you matter to your family. Even when they have trouble
communicating their love to you or when you don't agree, your
family loves you and needs you.
I
bet your friends enjoy your company. You have a unique, one of
a kind, personality and a sense of humour that is irreplaceable.
Look forward to the experience of having your friends loving being
around you and spending time with you. They can't if you're always
depressed or burdening them with your problems.
Change
your perspective on work. No one gives you a job for the fun of
it. The work you do, no matter how small you may see it, is important
to many people. Choose to be the only one in the world who can
do your job quite like you. Become indispensable!
So
today, count your blessings and give thanks for your life. Live
one day at a time and remind yourself that storms pass by, giving
way to calm. Choose to live life today .... it beats the alternative
... ask my friend!
Self-Reflection
Questions:
1. How can you reconnect with your friends and loved ones?
2.
When was the last time you made a decision to really go for life?
3.
What future can you visualise for yourself?
It's time to grow your spiritual home with active work and
financial support. New Thought
Centre is a non-profit organisation that depends on you.
Become involved - volunteer and/or practice the abundance
of circulation.
Financial donations (even a few dollars a week) help
us build more for you with a community of like-minded
people who make a difference in your world.
When
we give freely, we are telling the Universe that we have
no fear of lack and that we truly believe that abundance
will flow into the space created by our giving.
You
either believe it and live your life from that space or
it's just a bunch of hokey words that you have a hobby reading
about.

Can
Positive Thinking Create Financial Gain?
We often talk about the most misunderstood metaphysical
law - the Law of Attraction. It always brings you what you want
i.e. what you really believe, not what your surface mind says
it wants. It's not as simple as thinking about being rich and
you will be. It depends on deep seated beliefs you hold about
yourself and others. What is true is that a more positive belief
results in a more positive attitude about life in general ...
and that really can help you create financial gain.
No one likes a downer. People who drag around all
the time, feeling down about themselves and their circumstances,
saying that nothing good ever happens to them, really aren't going
to see the breaks that they once hoped for. Why? It's because
they'll only see what they believe ... a negative downer world
with no opportunities. Can you spell the word Victim?
Stay positive, no matter what your current circumstances
are, for your own benefit.
Sure, you might not be rich right now. You might
even have trouble paying your bills, but better days will come
to you. The Universe is waiting for you to be in alignment with
what it is ready to give you. If you are complaining or giving
up, that's the energy that It will give back to you.
Avoid Giving Up Too Soon
The greatest people are where they are today because they never
quit believing in their ability to be something more, and you
shouldn't, either. They held the vision and the belief unwaveringly.
Believe in yourself.
When you do, it shows. Others see it, and you become the kind
of person they want to be around. You'll naturally attract good
things, because you're giving out good things - smiles, handshakes,
hugs, joy, and positive energy - to the people you meet. That's
the kind of person others want to spend their time with - and
the kind of person that companies want to hire and promote! From
that energy, you'll find unexpected opportunities.
Practice Thinking Positive Each Day
There are many ways to turn negative thinking into positive thoughts.
Like anything else, it requires some work. However, the time you
spend on it is well worth the effort.
Here are some simple things you can do to get started
on a more positive life and move yourself toward financial gain:
* Say at least one positive thing to yourself, and
about yourself, each day.
* Cut out a costly habit, like smoking or excessive drinking,
and you've already gained financially.
* Spend time with positive people so you aren't tempted to dwell
on the negative.
* Smile. Yes, it really does help your mood!
* Get moving; exercise is one of the best positive mood-boosters
around.
* Take a risk on something you've always wanted to do.
Depending on your preferences, goals, and circumstances,
different techniques might work better for you than others. That's
why we have weekly discussion groups ... to share tools, techniques
and ideas for change. There's no one-size-fits-all answer to thinking
in a more positive way, but there are a lot of different options
you can try. Avoid giving up, and you'll find what works best
for you. It's well worth your time, especially when you start
to see more joy in your life.
When you have a more positive attitude and mindset,
and you project them out to the world, people want to be around
you. Take that great attitude and those positive thoughts to your
boss when you want a promotion or a raise. Take them to the job
interview. Even take them to Centrelink. You never know who you
might meet there.
People miss many opportunities for financial gain
because they aren't thinking optimistically. Look at everything
that happens to you and everyone you meet as valuable in some
way. Exercise gratitude for what you do have.
Source is always giving to you - but the gifts don't
come by Fedex delivered to your door. You have to get out and
make yourself available to opportunities.
By staying positive and cultivating good relationships,
you'll be in place to accept the financial gain and positive energy
that will naturally flow to you. Be ready to let it in!
