When difficulty strikes, it's time to draw on our deepest resources. For me that means meditation and in some cases friends.

Part of me is struggling with accepting my value enough to have it reflected back to me in the physical world. The arguments in my mind on the negative side are "no one wants or values what I have to offer", "I don't deserve huge success", "I haven't done the work to see my hopes and dreams realized" and so on. On the positive side, "I'm an inspiring example that has helped a great many people", "I am and have advanced win win thinking in the world making the world a better place", "I share wisdom in a manner people use to improve their lives" and more.

I know the way forward is to accept the existence of both the negative and positive thoughts, and choose to act only on the positive thoughts. The thought "I owe it to myself to give myself a chance" helps me a great deal. The thought, "I've broken through overwhelming resistance before, and I can do it again" also helps. These thoughts result in me having the strength and resolve to keep going.

I know I am creating every difficulty in my life and the way to change that is to continue to fill my mind with the thought "I am the world". I repeat that phrase in my mind many, possibly hundreds, of times a day. This, among other things, focuses my attention in the present moment where there is no suffering.

All this is the result of following the guidance I receive in meditation. I consider that to be my deepest resource.

Dawn Marie Risley Childs shares a path to recognize and recover from child abuse. She inspires the courage to break free from the impact of being molested early in life.

The healing process is clearing away what obscures our realization and acceptance of the immensly powerful loveing beings we are.

We clear away obstacles to self acceptance/realization by accepting their existence and choosing not to participate with the false thoughts. Some of my false thoughts whose existence I accept and choose not to act on include:

I can't make the difference I wish to make in the world.

No one is interested in or values what I have to offer

I am failing in life

As part of the healing process, I compare those negative and false thoughts to reality. I have thousands of podcasts downloaded in over 80 countries. People wouldn't be listening to my podcasts if they didn't find value in doing so.

The more the negative thoughts are weakened through acceptance of their existence and the choice not to act on them, the more I see and experience the immense power I have and the positive impact it is having in the world.

The more honest and accepting of ourself we are, the more re realize we have tremendous power. We have a responsibility to to use that power to benefit ourselves and others.

I'm continuing to realize the thought I've been operating with much of my life, "don't interfere with other's lives. Let them make their own decisions on their own" is not always the best thing for everyone involved. Often it is, and not always. There have been times when I have intervened and everyone has been better off as a result. I need to do more of that. The more I use the criteria of "is everyone better off" rather than "keep to myself", the better off we all are.

By being aware of our breathing, we heal ourself. We don't have to try to breath a certain way, only to be aware of how we're naturally breathing in the present moment. The benefits are huge. I recommend 5 minutes twice a day.

As we continue to accept and identify with deeper truths, our vibraton increases. We perceive the world differently. We communicate differently. We act differently.

Recently, in meditation, I heard I can grow faster and more smoothly by adopting this mantra, "I am the world". It is catapulting me into a higher vibration with empowering insights and understandings. Curiously, there are times when I can't even remember the mantra because it is so different than what I'm used to. I've written it down so I can find it when I fall back into old habits of thinking and being.

In the past I've written that when we grow in our acceptance of what is true, the whole world appears differently to us. This is certainly the case here. I find myself challenged and increasingly confident that I can change things in my world I used to think were beyond my reach. I need to take responsibility for having created the problem in my life before I have access to my power to solve the problem I created.

My level of energy and experience of being more fully alive have dramatically increased with this mantra. I'm in favor of anything that lifts me and others up.

We are unlimited energy. The greater the alignment of our mind, body and spirit, the more energy we have. Monitoring our energy level is one way to monitor our alignment.

I, like I believe everyone else, want to have all the energy I can. If I have a thought that dramatically boosts my energy level while being good for myself and others, I engage in that thought all I can.

Recently I had a thought in meditation that adopting the mantra "I am the world" filled me with energy. It dramatically reduced my stress. It is consistent with my belief that we are all ONE. It has opened me up to more uplifting thoughts. This mantra is different than my historical way of thinking, and I'm seeing that as a good thing as my historical conflicts and problems seem to be receeding some.

Being aware that some thoughts raise our energy level and others lower it, gives us the power to choose what thoughts we act on.

I offer thought coaching to assist those who are interested in being more aware of their thoughts and the impact of which thoughts we choose to label as accurate and which thoughts we choose to act on. To schedule a free introductory coaching session, contact me at scottfriedman40@gmail.com
