Why is it taking so long ?

For nothing is secret, thet shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid,that shall not be known and come abroad. Luke 8:17

 If you want to know what's going on in that hidden, secret place, called your mind ,take note of what's showing up in your experience.

 I believe that often life seems to be so mysterious because we are unaware of what's going on in our secret place (mind).

Many times after struggling in certain areas of life, it has finally dawned on me that for years I'd thought that these areas were tough, or unattainable, or just harder than other parts of life.I'd been doing this for so long it had become habitual and therefor I was doing it unconsciously. I'm sure many people have a similar experience.

These negative beliefs started out as a single thought, they became strong beliefs after they were re-run and rehearsed,many times in my mind.

 A belief is nothing more than thinking the same thing over and over.

Think it once, it's a thought.

Think it a thousand times, it's a belief.

Therefor to have a strong belief is to be single minded ie. keep repeating a single thought.

This what all champions do, they just keep thinking the same thing.

No matter what they have just experienced, such as failure,they don't change their mind.

If thoughts are creative, then the secret to success, is to stop changing your mind.

Winners keep choosing the same thing (success), and whenever your winning, you do too.

Learning to fly

Gravity doesn't try to pull you down, a flower doesn't try to bloom, and a bird doesn't worry about how to fly.

A bird is born with an unconscious knowingness that it can fly.It grows up surrounded by brilliant flyers that soar through the sky with ease.

But what would happen to that bird if it was born into a family where they had forgotten how to fly. Where the birds walked because they thought flying was too dangerous and not practical. What if it was told daily that the ability to fly was not for everyone, but for a few elite birds, that if it stuggled and strained as hard as it could it might just make it one day, but probably not. What would become of that bird and the generations after it.

What you know you are capable of is not the truth, it's just your truth, and your truth is your ceiling, you'll never rise above it.

But what if you knew more, what if you thought you were capable of more.

What if you knew that the only limit to anything in your life was whatever you know at any given moment.

What if you were being fed daily the belief that you are the creator of your experience, that anything your mind can concieve it can acheive.

What if you surrounded yourself with people who either directly or through books and c.d's demonstrated this to be true in their lives.

Then you would change what's true for you. 

Then you would know how to live a life that's amazing and outstanding as easily as a bird knows how to fly.

So if you want to learn how to fly, hang out with eagles.

Total Control

If you have no control over your circumstances, you're not controlling your mind. Don't be fooled, it looks like life, but it's not life, it's you.

If that feels like a slap in the face then you've forgotten who you are. Consider it a wake up call.

If you don't like what you're experiencing, take control of your mind.Primarily this means control what you are exposing it to.

Consider your mind like a small child, totally vulnerable to the teachings and influences of it's enviroment. Like an ignorant, innocent,little child it will not say no to negative destructive influences.

If convincing and consistent, it will accept anything as gospel.

A heavy price will be paid for not keeping keeping guard over this priceless asset. It will bring to you failure and misery just as readily as it will success and joy. 

The world moves for the man who has made up his mind.

The world moves for the man who has made up his mind, and will not take no for an answer.

Our greatest barrier to success is the over complication of the process.

Decide what you want and comitt to that decision.

We clog up our brilliant hearts and minds with unnecessary and irrelevent facts and information. All this does is weaken our ability and shut down the spiritual genius inside us.

In the story taken from 2 kings 20:1-6, king Hezekiah was given a message by the great prophet Isaiah,"Set your house in order for thou shalt die, and not live".

This was a death setence from God almighty himself.

And what did Hezekiah do ?

He turned his face to the wall and said "I do not accept this".

He did not meekly say "oh well I guess my time is up". With incredible passion he said "I want more life"!

Before Isaiah got out of the palace, God told him to go back and tell Hezekiah,"I've heard your prayer, I've seen your passion, you'll have 15 more very successful years".

Confusion and doubt are killers.

The necessary requirements for success are, singleness of mind, definiteness of purpose,determination and persistence.

Can it be that simple ? What about the million and one details unique to every situation. Ah, when you ask this question you've stumbled onto the problem.

 When most people think of "details" unique to their situation, what they really mean is obstacles.

While you are thinking about these obstacles, you cannot have singleness of mind, you are not being definite, it will weaken your determination, and you certainly won't persist.

That's a fairly accurate description of what a lot of people do when trying to achieve something.

Then after doing this for a period of time, they give up and move onto something else, only repeat the same unsuccessful process. 

The neccessary requirements for success are,

1. Singleness of mind.

2.Definiteness of purpose.

3. Determination.

4. Persistence.
