Now You Can Do The Difficult Things!

Man is the greatest creature of God, but his ability to see his true self has been clouded by circumstances around him. What you have inside of you is worth more than the creation of the earth itself. Without man the earth would not be as important to God as it is.

The whole purpose of creating the earth was for Man, who came to inhabit it, dominate it, and subdue it.

God's purpose of creating Man was so He can use him for His purpose, but the devil also wants Man, so he can manipulate him. This tug-of-war makes Man all important on earth, but he has to decide with his own mind which way he goes. A man's mind is a battlefield for contending influences. Everything about him stems from his mind. This is why when a man behaves irrationally, he is said to be out of his mind.

When you use your mind properly and align effectively, there is hardly anything you can't do. This is why God is looking to influence your mind and the devil is seeking the same. One great capability you have is to achieve great feats with the power of the mind.

*The mind is like a parachute: When it opens up to ideas, it keeps you flying to safety and you experience great improvements. When closed, it is not in use and it makes you experience a fast drop down--you become ignorant, lag behind with present developments and experience a stunted growth with life.

*The mind that opens to a new idea never comes back to its original size: When the mind is stretched with ideas and fresh new concepts, it grows bigger and accomplishes bigger things.

*The mind, put to use and stretched, can think out of the box: Thinking out of the box, means being able to come out of mental confinements and shift away from the norm.

*The difference between the rich and the poor lies in the mind: The difference between these two are not so much concrete dollars and cents, but that through mindset and behavior, the rich are often more willing to act and take opportunities the poor shy away from.

*The quality of life you live is directly proportionate to the quality of input into the mind: When you change your thinking you change your life. The outward appearance is a mirror image of what goes on inside a man.

*Personal belief is a manual for operating the mind: Your belief system molds your mind and forms the bulk of you. You might have grown up with the right or wrong beliefs in your mind, which have greatly influenced your life.

*An empty mind will be full of mediocrity, ignorance, lack of insight, undue sufferings and distractions: When the mind is not positively developed, it becomes negative and driven by ignorance.

*The only handicap the mind has is the man possessing it: The mind will sleep and shrink unless you consciously jerk it awake--think positively!

Your mind cannot be overused but always has been underused, because all the great and marvelous things it ought to accomplish have not been done. The mind has the capacity to accommodate all the thoughts, ideas and imaginations you will need through a lifetime--it can never be saturated, and there are so many great things you need to accomplish through it that are still waiting.

The great news is that, this awesome gift-the mind-is lying within you. It is a gift from God. Change is in your hands and it is within you; if only you would deploy your mind to do new things.

The mind is a wonder - it can reach anywhere you want it to, in less than a second. It can make you have a glimpse into the future. It can make you see, build, create and do within you what nobody else has. It can enter anywhere and do anything without restrictions. Except if you place the restrictions.

Only think tanks who exercise their mind will rule the world, because we are really not influenced by the things around us but mostly by the thoughts inside us.

Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki say in their book, Why We Want You to be Rich:

"So our message to you is the same message we received from our rich dads: we are all born rich. We all have been given the most powerful lever on earth; our minds... so use your mind for leverage to make you rich rather than to make excuses."

The Bible knows the impact of the mind on a man's life:

"... but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind... " (Romans 12:2).

Now, there is nothing difficult you can't do! Engage your mind by the power of God's Spirit and you will step into a brand new day and a brand new living!

Let Go, Be Present, and Create Space

In thinking about the art of surrendering to where we are now, and letting go of everything toxic, I sank my mind deeper into the possibilities, while sinking my sacrum a little lower. After class, I packed up my mat, got in my car, and before I could turn on the ignition, my mind ignited and started a mental vinyasa flowing with curiosity. Where does the courageous surrender, found in letting go, lead us?

Does letting go of caffeine for a couple days create space to release an addiction? How about letting go of that scoop of ice cream or the cookie we depend on for comfort each night?

Does letting go of the daily junk food create space for healthy habits to arise? Does it maybe wean us off the external and short lived comfort, so that we can discover where the roots of our most sustainable and pure pleasure manifests - from within?

What about an unhealthy relationship? Can we let go of toxic relationships or the behaviors that create poisonous pathways into our hearts and minds? In the act of letting go of those relationships, can we do so in ways that creates space to love the person, while releasing ties to their behavior? Maybe in letting go, we create an opening that allows a toxic relationship to be cleansed, healed, and renewed into a healthy one.

Can we let go of childhood trauma and past pain that has molded our minds, hearts and even bodies, into the form we are in today? Can we forgive all who have hurt us, and send them gratitude? Most importantly, can we forgive ourselves and send gratitude within? Maybe we create space for our own enlightenment in doing so. Maybe we intuitively discover a deeper understanding of the pain those whom have hurt us, have encountered, and we send them not just forgiveness and gratitude, but also compassion and love.

Can we let go of images that do not serve us? Whatever that may be for each of us. Let go of control and judgment. Give the space we create, the opportunity to stretch a little further and fill in the blank for us. Let faith, karma, and the divine work, while we focus on giving our highest self to each person who crosses our path and everything we touch.

What happens when we let go and find ourselves in pain? The headache we experience when we cut out caffeine; the anxiety that creeps in when we change the dynamic of a relationship; the emptiness felt when we don't have that cookie for comfort. Can we sink deeper into the pain, find our inner Phoenix, and rise through it? Or do we let that pain fully sink us and keep us in old patterns? We'll never know if we are not willing to detach with faith, let go with love, and create a little space. What will you let go of, to create new opportunities in the space you are in right now? Maybe you let go of judgement. Maybe you renounce your ego. Maybe you cut out caffeine, the late night sugary indulgence, or whatever it is that keeps you from experiencing your inner bliss.

With love, Namaste!

If you find your self esteem could do with a boost, here are 8 ways to improve your life.

Goal setting is vital to your life but ensure you set goals that are realistic and achievable. For each goal you set, make sure you monitor the progress regularly so you are always completely focussed on your goal. When each goal is achieved reward yourself.

Boosting self esteem can be helped by learning to love yourself. Admire your good points and learn how to accentuate them. This will overcome any weak points you may have.

Try and keep things in perspective by remembering that no-one is perfect. All human beings make mistakes at some time in their lives. The important factor is that when a mistake is made, a valuable lesson is learned.

At the end of each day, spend a few minutes reflecting on the successes that you have achieved in your day. Take pride in yourself and what you have accomplished no matter how small. Keep a journal of your successes so you always have a reminder should you need it for boosting self esteem at any time.

Self-Smart Intelligence - Use it While Learning and Doing Homework

Self-smart children, those with intrapersonal intelligence strengths, tend to be quiet. They need alone-time and physical space. They think deeply inside of themselves by reflecting. These children can appear to be slower learners because no question is easy and they want to think of every possible answer before choosing the one to share. They may appear to be uninvolved because they may share less often in class. Most often, though, they're deep in thought and involved.

This intelligence is one of the harder ones to engage in learning and studying situations. Some self-smart children may struggle in school because teachers ask for their answers and opinions which they'd rather keep to themselves. These children need to be willing to play the game of school - to answer teachers' questions even if doing so doesn't enhance their own understanding.

Although highly self-smart children are satisfied knowing what they know, and it's not important to them that others know, you can encourage them to participate in class and completely answer their teachers' questions. If they don't, their grades may not always reflect their true knowledge or abilities.

It goes beyond that, however. Self-smart children often have excellent insights because of their deep-and-wide thinking. If they can realize how much others may benefit, it will build their confidence and motivate them to stretch beyond their comfort zone by expressing their thoughts.

These ideas may help you help self-smart children:

• Self-smart children prefer to study alone. They can view your desire to interact with them as interference. That's the word some self-smart children use when I talk with them about school.

• Grading is often unpleasant for self-smart children because it involves the evaluation of ideas. Providing an answer key for the first few problems of an assignment helps some students. When these children get immediate feedback and see how they're doing, they gain momentum and concentration to complete the assignment.

• Since self-smart children are quiet and find it difficult to talk with their teachers, their teachers may not know them well. Nevertheless, it's crucial that they do! I've found that teachers may judge self-smart children harshly just because they don't understand them. Parents may need to help teachers understand their child's self-smart strengths and the difficulties they sometimes cause.

• Because it may take self-smart children longer to collect their thoughts and respond to a discussion question than other children, teachers can give them time to process their ideas. They can let children know they'll call on them fourth, at the beginning of tomorrow's class, after Kevin, etc. These types of considerations honor children and increase their confidence. This, in turn, facilitates a smoother class discussion.

• As much as possible, connect topics to these children's personal lives because that's how they think - by relating learning to their lives. You can look over their homework and help them discover how the topics are relevant and how they might be relevant in the future.

• Self-smart children like choices and options. These can be simple - write in cursive or print, do the first or second set of ten problems, and read a biography or mystery for their next book report. Of course, being given a choice is a privilege. If they complain about their options or take too long to decide, tell them they've lost the privilege. Then tell them specifically what to do.

• Self-smart children will also benefit from individualized instruction and assignments they can complete independently.

• You also motivate them by creating opportunities to engage their feelings.
