DAY 28
How
to Become a Powerful Source of Good
I hope
that I have impressed upon you the truth that you are in full control
of the direction of your life. Through the power of your thoughts you
literally create the experiences of your life. This is an incredibly
liberating state of mind, but also one that entails a great deal of
responsibility.
You must
realize that you are personally responsible for every aspect of your
experience: the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. It is you,
and only you, who has chosen to use your mind in whichever way you have
in order to create your experiences. Obviously you had a lot of help
learning how to accept limiting beliefs from your parents, your relatives,
your educators, your friends and enemies. But ultimately, you have always
been free to accept any belief you wish.
So you
must stop blaming anybody, or any outside circumstances, for anything
in your life with which you are unhappy. And you must stop blaming yourself.
All that
is necessary is to purposefully change those aspects of your life with
which you are unhappy. Instead of asking why is this not better?
ask how can I make this better? Take responsibility for
your life, your wealth, and your happiness. Decide to make it better.
Do not
believe that wealth will free you from responsibility. As a person who
understands the power of properly directed conscious focus, you are
in a unique position to help those all around you who are victims of
their own misguided energy. You are doubly responsible to share of your
unique spirit to make our planet a more hospitable place. With your
wealth, and with your creativity, you owe it to all of humanity to accept
the challenge of improving circumstances that are not to your liking.
Be bold. Be daring. Accept the infinite wealth of the intelligent universe,
and accept the responsibility that comes with wealth. With this attitude
you can be a truly powerful source of good on this planet.
Take five
minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I FREELY
ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF VAST WEALTH. I WILL GLADLY USE MY POWER
FOR THE BETTERMENT OF MY OWN LIFE, AND FOR THE LIVES OF OTHERS.
TAKE
ACTION: What is one thing about your life, or about the life of
somebody you are close to, or about the lives of people in general,
which you would like to see improved? Today, find one thing with which
you are unsatisfied, and ask yourself the question: How can I
make this better? Today, take one action, no matter how small,
towards improving your life or the life of somebody else. Decide upon
one constructive action and do it today.
QUOTE
OF THE DAY: He who controls others may be powerful, but he
who has mastered himself is mightier still. --Lao-Tzu
