Can everyone be
successful? No! A stark reality is, Life is a perception of who is living it.
Anything else is simply a fairy tale and not grounded in reality. I make the
distinction because many people are living a fairy tail life every day. They’re
always dreaming of success but never seem to achieve it. There’s a difference
between dreaming and imagination. A person who is a dreamer exist in a lofty world
of make believe, a person who has an active imagination lives in a world of
change. The first is passive the latter is aggressive.
Passive people
hang onto I’m going to do it, and as soon as I’m ready, but never seem to make
a move for action. There’s always an excuse an explanation, for failing to
bring their dreams into reality. When I was in boot camp, we learned the
phrase, “no excuses sir”. There was no excuse for failure. Failure was because
we didn’t perform our duties to our full potential. We were the cause of
failure, not circumstance or environment. We had the ability and it was up to
us to exercise it correctly to achieve success.
Imaginative
people, on the other hand, remodel the world. Their imagination is a driving
force that propels them into the future. The problem is, psychotic people also
have an active imagination and believe they are also progressive.
In any case
weather it be a dreamer or imaginative person they must come to terms with the
reality of their situation. They must
realize right from wrong and exercise their full facilities for success.
Good and bad
complement each other
While, most people
know there is good side, they are all too willing to believe the bad side of
any situation. When confronted with decision self-doubt creeps into the thought
process and the thought or idea becomes, in jeopardy of failure. Faith or
assurance is imperative because it is the first step toward action; no action
can be completed without faith in its completion. It is when doubt is
eliminated that true faith becomes reality. Faith is knowing an end result as a
truth. Again, \"if you can\'t believe it you can\'t conceive it or receive
it.\"
It takes
believable action
Every action
requires believability before it can become an action. This can pertain to
negative as well as positive, the law does not know one from the other. It is
your responsibility to experience the law correctly. I have said over and over,
use the law to knowingly bring harm to others or to the material world and you
will bring the wrath at the judgment. This is not a warning it is fact.
Remember, one action gives birth to another action of opposites. In all but
this case the opposite action is neutralized by the positive action. To bestow
harm is to receive harm. Expansion of the spirit can only come through positive
means. Deity expansion can only come through expansion of the soul. You will
come to understand this in time as you realize more of who and why you are.
Enlightenment
Comes from Inside
To bring
enlightenment to an inquiring fellow being is to expand your soul. Good, is the
positive step of an action. Good thought is fuel to the soul. When you
understand yourself you will illuminate the soul and others will seek you for
their enlightenment. Remember, in this world to love your neighbor as yourself
first and always. To love your neighbor is to love and know another soul. Do
not let the mind confuse you, spirit of the soul, is of another plane while the
mind of the body is of earth. Always remember the two are not the same yet the
soul depends on the mind of the body for recognition while on earth.
Many forces
guide your life
Each person is
subject to certain laws and forces of nature that justify their existence.
These laws are for self experiencing and control. Here are three such laws;
1.
The force of Ethics – Righteousness
Ethics The rules or
standards which govern the conduct of a person or the members of a profession.
But who sets the rules. Usually the society in which you live sets the
standards of acceptable behavior. Good ethics prohibits any action which would
harm another person or thing. Cheating, Lying, accepting payment for favor,
bribes and so on, all are clearly unethical. Good ethics mirrors the actions of
Jesus Christ and guides a person toward righteousness.
2.
The force of Health – Longevity
God created humans to last. Through lifestyle and bad choices, people
have given up years of life. Health is about quality of life. When does a
person die? When they stop breathing? Not necessarily so. A person can be dead and
still be alive. Dead in spirit, dead in functionality, or dead in moral fiber.
Health involves the physical self, the mental self and the spiritual self.
These elements must be in harmony before a person is really alive. If you are
physically disabled, non of the others matter. If you are mentally impaired, then you can’t function properly, and physical won’t matter.
If you are dead in moral fiber, than your prospective will be twisted and you
won’t comprehend life as it should be.
3.
The force of Social Station
Acceptance Everyone wants to be accepted. It’s the need for social order
that drives people to be cooperative. War prisoners discovered when put into
solitude they very quickly broke down. Man is a social being that strives for
recognition. He/she enjoys a pat on the back from their peers, for their
efforts. The I syndrome places man at the center of his/her existence. This was
the first sin, man turned away from God toward self, thus creating a broken
relationship. Social Station is only important as a worldly view.
Keeping track
How will you
expand your new lease on life, keeping in mind the external forces brought to
bear? What will you do to take appropriate and effective action?
If you wrote an incident log, would it identify
key components in your life by completion dates as well as the progression of each
segment? To be sure that you
are thinking of as many possibilities as possible, your incident log should
bring all ideas into one possibility. The
next segment of dealing with success and the inner person, will delve deeper
into certain laws of temptation.
