PART
TWO
Whatever arises in our lives can be used to awaken us further to all
that is possible.
Our beliefs become our destiny.
Most of our habitual beliefs and agreements are linked to an
original belief and behavior that helped us to interpret or survive a difficult
situation.
Our state of mind is self-reinforcing.
All negative habits originate from some intention to take care of
ourselves.
Dogma can be found anywhere -- and where there is dogma, there is
the fear factor.
"What in you needs to die?" Their soul calls out for a death. Not an end to life, but an end to whatever
prevents them from living fully and moving on.... Ask yourself: "What
wants to die?" And then check in
with your willingness and commitment to do whatever it takes to fulfill your
intention to live a vision.
If you keep trying to take the old road to the new place you will
remain lost.
Both children and adults tend to personalize abuse. When this happens, the shame tends to go
underground and resurfaces to interfere with the naturalness and joy of future
situations.
You will have a choice to make assumptions or make meaning.
Our principles are chosen by us after we have given them much
thought and consideration, whereas beliefs are based on our pain stories and
assumptions we may not even realize we hold.
Principles are like oars on a boat or reins on a horse; they help
move us in the right direction.
Others will always mirror to us where we are most stuck.
The why can take up a lot of time, energy, and speculation without
much awareness.
To focus on the why results in the blame and shame game, because the
why question really asks who is to blame.
We can
only create change from where we stand.
If what
you want is love, practice love. If what
you want is abundance, practice generosity.
Be
particularly wary of someone who promises something in the future that is
contrary to what they are actually presenting in the moment.
Say yes to your larger idea, without being ready or having it all
figured out.
Use of conscious intentions retrieves lost energy; energy lost to
past agreements and distorted, unconscious intentions.
We can actually look at the results of our actions to know what
intentions we are carrying around in our hearts.
When we set an intention, we set it as an entry point.... Our
intention is our reference point, guiding our experience but not
insisting.
Our intention comes out of some personal significance and we use it
to explore and direct our experiences.
Manifestation is dependent on your efforts.
You have to wake yourself up daily; go past the comfort zone of your
own habitats and habits.
Know what motivates you and keep it up front in your consciousness,
because once we bring our creations out into the open we are also confronted
with more internal and external resistances (from self judgment to the jealousy
of others).
Instead of starting something new, begin again with the original
commitment. Bring enthusiasm to what you
already said yes to.
Resistance is an opportunity -- offering itself up to us everyday as
a means to remind us to stay awake, keep moving, enjoy, and participate.
Resistance becomes a pointer to where we need movement in our lives.
Someday your somedays will all be gone.
