These people have a wisdom and depth of experience that is profound. Their understanding and insight, care and guidance, support and suggestions will be invaluable. Listen closely and carefully.
Their ability to quickly connect with what you are going through will be more useful than you will imagine.
It’s a wonderful thing to share the fruits of your labour. Some people plant extra seeds in their garden to give the abundance of food to their friends and neighbours, as my in-laws do.
Some people share in lottery winnings, windfalls, bonuses and even their weekly paycheck. On various occasions, people will be given drinks, gifts, or freed up time.
It is always a great feeling to be able to share your wealth, health, time and other abundance. Do this for others and you win too.
Imagine everything working out exactly how you want it to. What would you focus on if that were the case?
What efforts would you make if this were your reality? What commitments would you make?
Find forgiveness. Do it for you, not for anyone else. When you forgive someone, it allows your mind and body to be set free.
A lot of people won’t get this at first. It can take a bit of thinking through and around and reflecting on it. Often people want to simmer in hate or resentment or anger or retribution or revenge. It seems to be the easier emotions to tap into when you feel you’ve been wronged, especially if it feels unfair.
But do you really want to hold that tension and negativity in your heart and your body? It ends up eating away at you, stealing your joy and sometimes even making you unwell. I suggest you release yourself from this self imposed prison.
Some of you may recognise this passage, “as we forgive those that trespass against us.” And, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”
It can be pretty difficult to forgive sometimes. But it is often better than 20 years, or a lifetime, of festering resentment.
When chatting to someone, get excited about the conversation. Become curious about the person and what they are saying. Ask lots of questions. Sit forward, on the edge of your seat.
Use as much information as you can.
It’s not always as easy as people think. ????
Stay focused.
When you begin anything for the first time or if you’re just trying to improve it, you will feel uncomfortable, unnatural and even unable, to change things going forward.
It is, however, up to you to make this work better.
Because there is only one way to get to unstoppable, and that is through uncomfortable.
Stop spending so much time on what you don’t want in life. It’s like praying for bad things to happen.
Start focusing on what you do want each day. List what you want and then focus on that list. It will be a bit uncomfortable and you’ll find it a bit difficult the first few times you make or add to this list. But then it will get easier and you’ll start to see the results you were looking for. You might even go on to become unstoppable!
Are you afraid to be alone? Does it make you wildly uncomfortable? If not, when is your favourite time to be alone?
Being able to be alone is a pretty good sign of an independent mind and of someone who is at home in their own skin.
Learn to be alone. Alone without your phone. Alone without anyone else. Alone with your thoughts. And allow yourself to consider the thoughts that float through your mind. By considering each thought slowly and methodically and then letting it continue to float away helps you better understand your own thinking. This is better than allowing anyone and everyone to influence you with their opinion without consideration.
