Inspire Yourself Often With Inspirational Videos

By John, 5 months and 5 days ago

Bear DogHave you seen any good inspirational videos lately? I have, in fact I see them all the time. People are recommending to me very good inspirational videos, mainly on YouTube, but elsewhere as well. I know, many think YouTube is loaded with a bunch of junk, well there is some of that.  However, there are many really great videos that can be very inspirational and instructional.

I think we all can use inspiration on a daily basis to help keep our thoughts and feelings in the best place to support the life we want. There are plenty of things going on all around us that can easily keep us stuck in the mire of negative emotions. In order to be, do and have what you want in life it's important to be focused on what you desire rather than worry, doubt, fear, lack and so forth.

What Am I Actually Asking For And Getting

By John, 5 months and 16 days ago

Many will say that you must ask God to be given what you want, in a «will you please» way. But this is relinquishing your natural ability and right to know for yourself, to think for yourself and to choose what you want. What we receive from the Intelligent Universe is not based on the whim of a human like mind, it is a clear cause and effect system. We are here, as individualizations of God, to notice what's possible and ask for it. And, yes we can expect it to come into our life experience, but we must prepare for it first.

dontaskmeWe don't actually make anything happen, God, the Universal Intelligence does that, but we do request it and allow it. We ask for it and we allow it to connect with us, through our thoughts, feelings and vibration. For anything that we ask for to show up in our life experience, we must first align with it - we must be the person who does, has or is that which we want. The thing we want will not change us, or make us into what we need to be, we must do that first.

Miracle or Normal?

By John, 5 months and 23 days ago

We commonly look at certain things in life and label them as a miracle, why? If something has not yet happened or does not commonly happen, why must it be categorized as something beyond human?

Does this not limit our perception of what is possible for people, for us? Could this be a form of self-sabotage?

There Is A Reason You Notice And Admire The Traits And Characteristics Of Others

By John, 7 months and 4 days ago

I'm sure you have noticed attributes of another person to be appealing or admirable. This is normal, and can be used to your advantage if you understand why and what you can do with this awareness. Using the characteristics of others can help you to build these up in yourself. This method is called modeling.

You can use the desirable attributes you notice in others as a model to begin thinking and feeling how they can be in you. Actually, the reason you notice and admire specific characteristics in others is because you already have them yourself, they are just subdued. You noticed them in others because these characteristics in you want to be more fully expressed.

Dislike Is The The Impetus To Change

By John, 9 months and 7 days ago

It's so easy to identify what you don't like or want, we all do this very well. But there is trouble in dwelling on it. Everything in our reality is energy, including our thought, so where it is focused is important. Our thoughts and feelings are the steering mechanism for our energy. When we focus on what we don't want, we are giving it our energy.

In recent years science has been proving this age old wisdom that everything is energy vibrating at different rates. This is everything, from solid rock, to flesh and bone, to our thoughts. This is how a plant can be registered as responding in a way that could be described as fear when a person in another location thinks about doing specific harm to the plant. All of the energy we are all a part of is interconnected.

Life Can Be Exciting

By John, 1 year ago

There is nothing more exciting than being in a life that is going and blowing! I think that term, 'going and blowing' is an old railroad analogy, it describes a locomotive that is racing down the tracks full speed with a steady stream of smoke blowing out of the stack. We can use this to relate to living a life of constant self-discovery, personal growth and development.

Now I'm not implying that you should be pushing yourself all the time. There is a big difference between moving forward consistently and confidently, and in being in a hurry, rushing around. Rushing is when you are late for work or are trying to cram too many things into a short time frame, this is not freedom! This kind of behavior comes from a lack mentality, usually including the feeling of not enough time, among others.

Stop Giving Energy To What You Don't Believe In

By John, 1 year ago

Everything that you do is an outflow of energy which effects whatever you are part of. And, you are part of the universe we all live in. You may be aware that your attitude and actions effects the people you are around, but actually it effects everything. Your thoughts, feelings and actions are all energies that contribute to the collective energy that radiates throughout the world. Carl Jung coined the term, «collective unconscious» which refers to the totality of all shared experiences of the human race. He was certainly not the first to talk about this vast database of human awareness that not only makes up all that has been, but of all that could be. We are all contributing to it and are all influenced by it.

On top of all that, there is something else that is effected, you, the individual. Whatever thoughts, beliefs and perceptions you have will be supported and expanded by your mind, that's just part of it's job the same as it keeps your heart beating without your constant attention. Everything you think and do is reenforcing a belief of some sort, helping you to continue to do the same with less and less conscious thought.
