It is fact that “the truth shall set you free,” but only by utilizing that truth when responding to your daily affairs. Here’s an awesome truth: ‘you are a superlative creator’. If you allow old thought-habits (that make you feel inadequate), decide how you respond to the life, you will not experience yourself as a superlative creator no matter how many times you affirm it is true.
The best way to notice how receptive you are to the truth about your ‘unlimited nature’ observe how you are responding to the world today … and compare your responses with your responses of yesterday. Are you setting loftier aspirations and aims? Are you taking more action? Are your responses empowering you so that solutions to problems are coming more quickly? Notice any positive changes and celebrate small victories (take a moment to celebrate privately).
Comparison helps you to see small improvements. Acknowledgement and private celebration reinforces the improvements. The more you do it, the easier it gets; soon you find it easy to behave in superior ways.
Notice circumstances that would upset you in the past … and today barely make an impression on your radar screen. The world will teach you to take the time to notice what you are doing wrong. Flip that around and begin now taking the time to notice what you are doing right.
The first paragraph of the blog does not make sense to me?
How about a nice pint of Guiness to celebrate? That will keep me motivated.
celebrating wins with a guiness sounds like the way to go.
I stopped myself from gossiping about my colleague at work, and celebrated this victory by buying myself a nice cup of coffee. It works!
I love gossiping about my colleagues, it picks up my day.
Just dont drink and drive you guys
Commuting is big agitation for me – I have to work on that one
If I compare my driving behavior when I’m drinking with my driving behavior when I’m sober; there’s no comparison! It’s time to celebrate; have a drink, but don’t drive.
Circumstances that once upset me, still do. I don’t know how to let go.
The first step to letting go, NikeYes, is being willing to see things differently. Inflexibility guarantees disappointment.
Flexibility – smexibility, its hard to be flexible when everyone thinks they know what’s best for you.
I have lots of thought-habits that make me feel inadequate. I still take chances in spite of them. That’s how I beat them.
When I am angry and I observe how I am responding to the world, it is very different than when I am patient and calm; no doubt about it!
My habits are fast to react. If I don’t deliberatly slow my mind down, I can see that my thought-habits are a step ahead of me
My mother spends a lot of time noticing what I’m doing wrong, and I now have the same habit. Thanks for the heads-up.
My radar screen is much les sensitive to my mistakes these days. What a relief. I get through my day not beating myself up nearly as much.
I can feel it when my responses to people around me are empowering me and when they are disempwering me.
The truth is whatever we consider it to be, If we think the truth will set us free – it will. If we think it won’t – it won’t.
I know when my responses are empowering. It’s when I feel dead right and don’t give a damn what others say to me. It’s interesting; it feels like I’m losing when I get this stubborn.
My husband is terribly stubborn, especially when he is feeling vulnerable, Mannie.
I find it hard to celebrate small victories when I have made big errors in my life. I’d like a big victory or two to compensate.
Hey littlechance, slowing the mind down is a great achievement. Once my mind gets whirling, it is some time before I can slow it down.
When I compare the action I am taking today with the action I was taking a year ago – big difference, and my life shows it.
flipping my habit of finding what’s wrong into a habit of finding what’s right has me seeing my life in a very different way.
Unlimited nature – bullshit. We’re born. we flop around for a few decades and we die.
If your model of reality includes the idea of flopping around for a few decades and then dying – so it shall be, Carl. You may want to look at things differently?
it’s easy to see things differently when things are going your eay. The hard part is to see things differently when things are going wrong for you.
Things I have learned with the help of Rob. I rather experience Joy then anger so let it go. I rather be flexible it easier and opens doors to expand and learn something new. Allow, all my job is to fix myself and everything will fall into place
When I respond to daily affairs, I get to caught up in the moment to see beyond my perception of reality.
I find it easier to act in superior ways when I don’t take my life so personally. Great tip.
I’m trying to observe how I respond to the world these days, but I get interference from how the world is responding to me. How do I separate them?
Affirming I am a superlative creator and then going out and creating something brand new is two different things. The action takes more work for me to do, but I can see if I persist I will definitely make good changes in my life.
My mood is too flip-flop. I need to spend more time thinking about my opinions because they are forever getting me all riled up.
I privately celebrate whenever I find I am being kindly. I love how it feels to be nice and I celebrate my behavior in order to encourage more of the same.
When I get into a squabble with my wife, it is apparent to me that I am not receptive to the truth. I am too busy trying to prove I am right.
I love trying new things even if I do feel inadequate at first. it feels so alive! I just started sailing and actually fell out of the boat. What a rush!
I love noticing small imnprovements in the ways I am behaving; it gives me encouragement to try bigger things.
By standing and speaking confidently, as though I have solutions to my problems, I find answers do come more quickly.
I take ten seconds in the morning to remind myself to repsond to life kindly today, even if it seems like life is being rough on me. It works. Life is not as rough on me.
I never thought in terms of responding to life. I always considered my reactions to circumstances in life. Now I can see that the circumstances are life!
Flip-flopping from catching myself doing things wrong to noticing what I am doing right can be dizzying. I have to settle on the appreciation side if I plan to see my future optimistically. Great tip.
My boyfriend always tells me of my unlimited nature when we’re in bed, but he doesn’t ever tell me of my unlimited nature when I take tennis lessons or try something new. He’s a sexist.
I am more receptive to the truth now than ever before. I have had enough of thinking I have all the answers. It hasn’t worked so far, why should I think it is going to start working now?
