Good morning all,
Today, I present the Volume 2, page 6, from the Concept:
"GOLDEN MOMENT OF INSPIRATION"
I got the following from probably the most unexpected source, a mobile network "text message"....
"Think. Believe. Dream. Dare."
Let's rearrange to reflect the natural order.
Think. Dream. Believe. Dare.
1. The first item, think, is the foundation of the rest. Let's take a closer look, to get a deeper understanding. What is thinking?
Here's Tozer's answer,
"Thinking is a kind of living. To think and to be aware we think is to be conscious, life without consciousness is but a shadow of life, having no meaning and being of no value to the individual. Our thoughts are the product of our thinking, and since these are of such vast importance to us, it is imperative we learn how to think rightly."
2. Choosing what to think about, to think deliberately, to think with a purpose, to think consecutively about the object of our desires, is to master the art of thinking.
3. The law of attraction says that we become what we think about; what we keep thinking about, what dominates our thoughts is a pointer to what becomes out inner dialogue. Our inner dialogues dictate the experiences our lives.
Our inner dialogues determine what we get or become.
4. If we keep thinking of what we don't want, we keep having plenty of what we don't want.
5. But if we exercise conscious choice, and deliberately decide to think about what we really want, we have that also.
6. It's difficult to keep thinking about what we have chosen to want. It's hard labour to do so, unless you learn a way to accomplish that.
You soon forget to keep thinking about you don't always see.
7. How come the great majority of people have so little of what is good, and have so much of what they don't want?
Answer:
They always allow their thoughts to reflect the situations of their current environments. They are used to thinking about what they see when they look up, and what they hear.
And what do they always see, hear or read about? Usually, poverty, agony, diseases, distress, recessions, calamities!
8. Thinking is perhaps the greatest labour there is. But, fortunately, everything is always hard until you learn the easy way.
9.The labour of thinking is a guided procedure of choosing to dwell on what you want to see, rather than what is immediately visible to you.
10. This is why it's only those who consistently think about the invisible situations they have created(as dreams) that achieve.
11. "It's those who consistently see the invisible that invariably accomplish the impossible."
Here's my humble recommendation:
Begin to think about what you want to see; the images of the life you wish to live, the money you want to have, the vehicles you want to own, the kind of family life you want to lead and the circumstances you want to experience. If you keep thinking about these, invariably, you keep attracting them.
12. But here's the trouble, we soon forget to keep thinking like this, we soon return to thinking about what is visible to us, and what our friends say to us, and these determine our inner dialogue.
Our inner dialogue determine our experience. As we change our inner dialogue, we change our lives.
13. Here's the permanent solution: The way not to forget anything is to commit it to paper.
14. All great achievers think on paper. They pray on paper. Whatever you write becomes easier to edit and refine. If you rewrite your lofty desires on a daily basis, and bring fresh emphasis, you soon change your inner dialogue to thoughts of intense interest, passion, optimism, and enthusiasm.
Your inner dialogues gradually become loaded with circumstances of your lofty desires and ambitions.
15. But we have another duty; we must also remove ourselves from people, ideas or opinions that will remind us, or suggest to us, thoughts of current reality, poverty!
We stop reading books or listening to news about what we don't want. We release negative people.
We associate only with unrepentant optimists and achievers.
16. What we keep suggesting to ourselves, "the God in us" soon accepts as true. We thus change our belief. We always act according to our belief. As we believe, we act, we dare.
This is why the order of accomplishment is "Think, dream, believe, dare and achieve!"
Amen.
