THE PRESENT MOMENT
The point of power is right here and right
now in our own minds. It does not matter
how long we have had negative patterns,
an illness, unhealthy relationship, a lack of
finances, or poor self image: we can begin
to make changes today. The thoughts we
have held and the words we have
repeatedly used have created our life and
experiences up to this point. That is past
thinking; we have already done that. What
we are choosing to think and say today,
this moment will create tomorrow and the
next day and the next week and the next
month and the next year. The point of
power is always in the present moment.
This is where we begin to make changes. The smallest beginning will
make a difference.
When you were a little baby, you were pure joy and love. You
knew how important you were; you felt you were the center of the
universe. You had such courage, you asked for what you wanted, and
you expressed all your feelings openly. You loved yourself totally,
every part of your body. You knew you were perfect. and that is the
truth of your being. All the rest is learned nonsense and can be
unlearned
How often have you said,”That’s the way I am,” or “That’s the
way it is “? What we are really saying is that it is what we “believe to
be true for us.” Usually what we believe is only someone else’s opinion
we have accepted and incorporated into our own belief system. It fits
in with other things we believe. If we were taught as children that the
world is a frightening place, then everything you hear that fits in with
that belief, you will accept as true, “Don’t trust strangers.” “Don’t go
out at night,” “People cheat you,” etc. On the other hand, if we were
taught early in life that the world is a safe and joyous place, then we
would believe other things :”Love is everywhere,” “People are so
friendly,” “ Money comes to me easily,” and so on. Life experiences
definitely mirrors our beliefs.
We seldom sit down and question our beliefs. For instance, I
could ask myself, “Why do I believe it is difficult for me to learn? Is it
true for me now? Where did that belief come from? Do I still believe it
because a first grade teacher told me so over and over? Would I be
better off if I released that belief?
Stop for a moment and catch your thought. What are you
thinking about right now? If thoughts shape your life and experiences,
would you want this thought to become true for you? If it is a thought
of worry or anger or hurt or revenge, how do you think this thought
will come back to you? If we want a joyous life, we must think joyous
thoughts. Whatever we send out mentally or verbally will come back to
us in like form.
Take a little time to listen to the words you say. If you hear
yourself saying something three times, write it down. It has become a
pattern for you. At the end of a week, look at the list you have made,
and you will see how your words fit your experiences. Be willing to
change your words and thoughts and watch your life change. The way
to control your life is to control your choice of words and thoughts. No
one thinks in your mind but you.
