WE GET WHAT WE BELIEVE

The past couple of days I have come across either a book speaking to beliefs or an article or people sharing about the concept of beliefs.

Yesterday, I heard:

"We don't believe what we say we believe, we really live out what we believe." 

How thought provoking, and so true.  What is reflected back to me is what I believe.

Then I read yesterday's daily guide from Science of Mind:

Our beliefs truly do shape our perceptions and our world. We do not get what we think we deserve, but we always get what we believe. If we believe we are entitled to something, we typically create a whole internal narrative to support that idea. If we believe the world is not safe, we will begin to gather evidence to support this theory and then go about building the structures and protection around us to assure our survival.

Or, if we believe we are supported and loved not for any achievement or accomplishment, but because our Divine nature is one of love, creativity and supply, we then make ourselves available for a whole new experience of life. If I accept the premise that I am not alive to compete and battle others, but rather to collaborate and create, I begin to see the world in a whole different light. I start to dismantle my agreements with struggle and open myself to possibility and joyful expectation.

Believing I deserve something without doing the required work to shift my beliefs and behavior to right alignment with that which I desire always creates disappointment. It is always the consciousness beneath the thought that gives it life and form.

To shift any condition in my life, I must start with what I believe about that condition and then engage in the spiritual practices that give birth to newness.  (Excerpt from Science of Mind, August 3rd, 2014)

There is so much opportunity available here to ponder. Ask yourself, what is being reflected back to you that is based on your beliefs?  Is there something showing up that you absolutely appreciate, or don't want?

Search deep inside and spend a few minutes in quiet stillness and ask, how is my belief reflecting back.  Be aware, everything encountered has been created with a conscious or unconscious agreement

You have everything you need readily available to you to appreciate your belief, or to create a new belief, a new perspective.

What belief do you appreciate?

What belief do you want to change?

Enjoy this day, as you believe.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

Leadership Lessons from the Ant

I was given an invaluable gift this week by a fellow leader, entrepreneur, businessman, husband, father, Elder who has this quiet grounding presence. I so appreciate the gift my heart shouted, share, share, share with other leaders, entrepreneurs and business owners. The gift, the Maxwell Leadership Bible by John Maxwell.  The book shares lessons of Leadership from the word of God.  So over the course of time as a story or insight speaks to me, I will pass it on and share it with you in this blog.

If you enjoy what you read, please share it with someone that you think could benefit from giving this a read.  I'd be ever so grateful if you did.

What spoke to me from "Leadership Lessons from the Ant" was the very first sentence - "Do you want to make a difference?"  My eyes lit up, my heart jumped and my mind shouted from the roof tops a resounding YES. 

How about you? Do you want to make a difference?  Then pay attention to the metaphor of the ant.

Leadership Lessons from the Ant

It's amazing that one of the smallest of God's creatures can become one of His greatest teachers.

A - Attitude of Initiative

Ants don't need a commander to tell them to get started.

N - Nature of Integrity

Ants work faithfully and need no outside accountability to keep them doing right.

T - Thirst for Industry

Ants work hard and will replace their anthill when it gets ruined.

S - Source of insight

Ants store provisions in summer.

If we consider and learn from the ways of the ant, we can grow wise.

(The Maxwell Leadership Bible by John Maxwell - Page 770)

As you read this, what glean of insight sparked inside of you? 

Are you curious to learn more about you?  Quietly ask yourself these questions, then journal and discover.  Do you have an attitude of initiative?  Are you faithful to yourself?  With your business or job?  Are you thirsty for support?  Do you have insights yet ignore them?

I know you have it in you to dive deep.  Be curious about self discovery to open and expand your heart with self acceptance.  YOU are UNIQUE and you are here to share your UNIQUE gift of you.  When you uncover what is hiding underneath your beliefs, you will unearth what is driving you in your life, business/job and finances.

PURPOSE IS A GUIDING LIGHT . . . . .

"A #2 pencil and a dream can take you anywhere." ~ Joyce Myers

I am an avid reader of the Science of Mind magazine. Each message speaks to my heart and soul. Below is one daily reading I want to share with you.

Are you, YES YOU, moving forward with discovering your purpose?  Is your heart and soul nudging you?  Whatever that looks like for you.
Just a quiet little reminder. Enjoy!

Purpose

Sometimes, it is difficult to figure out purpose.  Too often, friends are willing to tell you what they think your purpose is, especially when it serves them. I have found something interesting about purpose: all I need to do is decide what my purpose is and be 180 degrees away from it. Once you set an intention to find your purpose, however, the universe will conspire to guide you. The only thing you can do wrong is to do nothing.

Purpose is a guiding light. You must not forget your purpose, but don't allow your purpose to tether you. Choose a purpose, and don't be attached to having it be the right one. Choose nothing, and the universe knows you are not yet willing to play. (SOM, August 4, 2012)

So, are you playing? or are you not yet willing to play? Share your passion, your purpose below.  . GET IT OUT!.  . Scream it to the world. .  we are waiting to hear your voice. Your soul is waiting for you to play.

Warmly -
