Let Your Genius Surface

Sometimes we just try too hard. We struggle to figure things out. How am I going to accomplish what I want to accomplish?
Sometimes it might just be a better tactic to just sit quietly and relax. Picture yourself having achieved your goal. Feel how good, no, how great you feel having accomplished what you set out to achieve. Bask in the glow of positive emotion. See the person you had to become to achieve your goal. Focus on seeing yourself as a tremendous success.
Do this for a few minutes every day. You'll be amazed at what ideas surface in your head. An idea that you say, "Where did that come from?" The ideas are all right there waiting for you to uncover them. By being still you allow your genius to make itself known.
The next thing is to act on that inspiration! Don't wait! Today is the day!

A Call To Action

I just finished reading a book called Harmonic Wealth by James Arthur Ray. James Ray appeared in the dvd The Secret. I recently heard him speak locally and was motivated to buy his book. It was an inspiring and practical book. The last chapter dealt with a call to action. It encourages us to be all we can be by moving forward in action instead of just thinking about what we are going to do. It contained two quotes that really struck me. The first was from Joseph Campbell, who said "The big question is whether your are going to be able to say a hearty 'yes' to your adventure." The second was from T.S. Eliot, "Only those willing to risk going too far can find out how far they can go."

The chapter ended with the line, "You are the one the world's been waiting for."

Let's do something remarkable!

Act on Notions

When the thought of an old friend or an acquaintance crosses your mind what do you do about it? Usually we just shrug our shoulders and do nothing. Over the past few days I've taken a couple of these these notions and acted on them. I've made several phone calls and written a note. In the case of each of the phone calls the person at the other end of the line has been very happy to hear from me. Their happy responses made me feel good that I had reached out to them. I just wrote the note today so I haven't gotten any feedback on that yet. It seems to be worth the trouble to take the time.
