What I focus on grows in my reality. The more I focus on my inner life, the larger part of my experience of life is composed of my inner life. This is attractive because I have control of my inner life. My inner life are the thoughts and feelings I experience. The more conscious I am of my thoughts and feelings, the more positive and uplifting they become.

Here's a real time example. A company to help me market my books was recommended to be by someone I have an uplifting relationship with. I've contacted the company because I felt care and concern for the person recommending them. So far, in taking initial steps to determine if I'm going to proceed with this company, I haven't felt the care and concern for me that I want in my life. I won't proceed with them unless and until I feel that genuine care. I'll respond to them articulating my "buying process" as best I can and see if I feel the genuine care I want in my life. That will determine if I proceed or not.

This is me allowing my inner world of love and care to create an outer world that matches my inner world.

I'm paying close attention to my thoughts and the emotion tied to the thoughts and the freedom I have to choose what thoughts to act on. This is how I gain ever greater mastery and choice in the life I experience and create.

Christoph Merrill has studied and become an expert in habits. He shares how to put new habits in place and keep them going even when "life" happens.

There have been times when, in retrospect, I've chosen to learn the hard way to make sure the learning "sunk in" deeply. In general I do my best to learn the easy way. I look for the insights and changes in thinking and behavior I can make to create a smoother, happier, more loving and joyful life. For sure, there are more changes to be made to maximize that.

The change that is coming up for me now is to stop being so hard and critical of myself. Telling myself over and over that I'm not living up to my potential, that I'm not using my talents all I could be, that I could have created a much better life for myself than I have; aren't helping me. I choose to acknowledge those thoughts and allow more accurate thoughts to enter my mind. That would include; I've grown a great deal in this life, I've lifted myself and many others up, I've made a great many spiritual principles practical for myself and others, and the list goes on. I've led a life to be proud of.

I want to at least reduce the degree to which I live the life the hard way as a result of being so critical of myself. I just need to be aware of the negative thoughts and choose not to act on them.

We thrive at our highest level when mind, body and spirit are in alignment. I understand mind to be our thoughts, body to be our actions and spirit to be our essence. Of the 3, our spirit, the part of us that is ONE with GOD and all that exists, never changes. Therefore, to have greater alignment we need to change our thinking and our behavior to be in alignment with our essence, spirit, that never changes.

One way we create this alignment is to act on thoughts that have the devine qualities as part of them. Those devine qualities include love, compassion, peace, self confidence, high self esteem, joy, enthusiasm and in general all uplifting emotions. The more we act on a thouht, the more the emotion tied to that thought becomes a larger part of our experience of life.

Another way to create alignment is to be conscious and fully engaged in the present moment, allowing our essence to freely express. In my coaching I help people recognize the many times they're in alignment and how that is created so they can make being in alignment a larger part of their life.

I know what works for me, and it is different than what most people would advise. Acting on thoughts that have uplifting emotions as part of them, works best for me. I meditate daily. In my meditation I listen to the thoughts that arise and take note of the emotion tied to each thought. I do my best to take note of the thoughts that have emotions I want more of in my life and act on those thoughts. Thoughts that have emotions that I don't want more of, I do my best to let go and choose not to act on them. I know that's not how most people go about living their life. I hope they find what works for them and do that. I wish success to everyone, regardless of how they define success.

Their is a longstanding pull to abondon focusing on what works for me and I know to be true in favor of adopting what works for others, or is commonly believed to work. I find I need to remind myself often to focus on what works for me, what I believe are the true measures of success, what I believe to be true rather than trying to adopt what others recommend. I listen to others and consider their input, and decide to act or not act on their advice depending on the emotion and resonance I feel connected to their advice.

Sometimes, I agree with the advice and don't seem to be able to access the energy and clarity to implement the suggestion. I've come to accept that sometimes I don't have access to the resources within myself at that moment to implement a suggestion I believe would beneficial to me and others. That's ok. I wanted to write a book for 20 years before I finally did. It took growth over decades to allow myself to write and publish books. Now, I've written and published 13 books as of this writing. The growth and clarity it takes to create something I want in myh life takes as long as it takes to achieve. Understanding what growth is requied to be effective at creating something in my life I desire has helped me be more efficient in my growth. I know that to create the contribution I desire to share with society, I need to accept and relate more fully to being ONE with all that exists. It's wonderful to know the cause of my success and be able to focus on that.

At our highest level we are present. One way to move more in that direction is to take things one day at a time.

I meditate daily taking note of uplifting thoughts I can use to make my day as great as possible.

Today, I am inspired in meditation to more and more see everyone and everything as a projection of myself. When I think of the people I'll be meeting with today, I have great respect for them and find associating with them to be uplifting. That can only mean I have great respect for myself and find listening to and accepting myself uplifting.

When I find myself being frustrated with others not making faster progress, I know that is a projection of my own impatience with my spiritual growth, my acceptance of being ONE. When I accept that self criticism, I find that acceptance of the existence of the negative thought to make space for a more accurate thought which is, "I'm doing very well at being increasingly honest with, accepting of myself, growing spiritually."

As I write this, I am experiencing love for myself and an enhanced feeling of well being. I am having the thought, I am doing what I should be doing with my life. I am at peace.

All this is available to me because I begin my day with listening deeply to myself and choosing to act on uplifting thoughts and heal negative thoughts by accepting therir existence and choosing not to act on them.

When we heal ourself, we heal the world. We create the world as a projection of our thinking. When we are more conscious of our thoughts and how they create our world, the thoughts and behaviors change for the better, as does our life, as does our world.

If you ask a number of people to describe the world as it is now, it's likely you'd get very different descriptions. This is a testament to the fact that we create our own world. Once we accept that we have the power to create our own world, we cabn utilize more of that power as we choose. However, some thoughts are uplifting and others are self defeating. Some people drink large amounts of alcohol in an effort to escape emotional pain. Eventually that drinking and denial creates even greater suffering. On the other hand, being kind to people lifts everyone up and creates a better world.

I choose to create as kind, wise, loving world as I can. I do my best to align with what is true and uplifting.

I offer thought coaching for those who want to create a better world through choice. If this is of interest to you, contact me at scottfriedman40@gmail.com
