DELIBERATE CREATION

If you have been with me for a while, which most of you have, I have emphatically emphasized the importance of our thoughts.

In much earlier blogs, I spoke on the delicate balance of cultivating exotic flowers and I correlated that to positive thoughts.

It takes no effort at all to think negatively. In fact, the second our eyes open we have ample opportunity.

This can range from the aches and pains of our bodies all the way to the bills piling up with little to no money to handle them.

A plethora of reasons can line up for us to give attention and energy to them. These are "weeds" that grow effortlessly.

I don't think any gardener would deliberately plant weeds to choke out the life of the harvest he expects. But if he's not attentive to the weeds sneakily growing along side, they will do exactly that.

The same is with our thoughts. The truth is, our eyes don't even have to be open in order for the start of our day to begin.

Negative thoughts take no effort at all.

The rise and fall of man begins with his thoughts.

I am confident that through my own victories and failures, I have been successful in sharing with you some of the methods that I have used to help me in my personal journey.

I want to take this time to express how much your support means to me. I appreciate every email that I receive and I can assure you that I carefully read each one.

I also get incredible inspiration from your stories and experiences you share with me.

Thank you.

One of the efficient techniques that I use frequently is the "get out ahead of it" method.

I shared this a couple of months ago when I was hosting an annual dinner party that previous years caused me quite a bit of stress.

To summarize, when you know that something or someone is going to upset you, prepare yourself beforehand.

Maybe even rehearse your reactions in several different scenarios in order for you to be fully prepared.

Side note: I have been listening to a body language expert who was a former CIA spy and he tells of how he looks at the full blueprint of every edifice before he steps one foot in the building. This will allow him to have an escape route in place no matter where he stands.

We can apply this concept to our "preparation."

Have an escape route in place for any situation that could possibly spike your blood pressure (aka anxiety, anger, stress, etc.)

But what I am able to share with you is a little different from this method.

Let me first ask you this question. Do you believe that we are co-creators with God?

If you are unsure, let me give you this perspective.

When an architect wants to build a structure, or an artist a sculpture, and so on, what percentage of work is required by the man and what percentage is the obligation of The Divine?

Hopefully this analogy has prompted you to understand that yes we are indeed co-creators with Our Creator.

It is up to us to create/build the life we desire.

Furthermore, we can create our reality.

There is an art to being able to purposely create the experience we prefer and the methodology is extensive, however, the foundation is simple.

"If you can't change your situation, change how you look at it."

I am up against one of the biggest obstacles one could imagine.

If I look at it from a different vantage point, I can pin point every landmine. Not only can I mark these explosives, but I can tip toe around them.

I can deliberately create the desired outcome by planning ahead.

This is my ability to control one thing. The only thing that I can control actually. Me.

My thoughts, my feelings, my actions, my reactions and my words.

Otherwise, I am sure to step on a bomb and become a casualty of war like majority of the population.

This is a "to be continued" blog. I will undoubtedly keep you informed.

Until then, know this:
