Making Changes so That You Can Commit

I had a major problem this week where I committed to doing something and then had other things come up that did not allow me to focus on what I had committed to. I realized that if it was all that important I would have made a firm commitment to focusing on that specific thing. I realized that it is these things that get us in trouble.

When an individual commits to something that is not really important, they are starting to get off the path. In deciding how and when to make commitments one needs to heed this advice. If you have not kept a commitment it cannot be that important.

It is time to reevaluate the level of the commitment and why you made it in the first place. It is also part of a bigger picture and shows you that you are operating on reflex and not on purpose. When one is dedicated to making and keeping commitments,this focus of operating on purpose is the thing that makes the commitment easy to keep.

In future I will think twice about making a commitment, especially to something I already know is not in my plan. I learned an important lesson this week. Its easy to commit and keep a commitment especially if its something that is important in your life. If its marginal then its time to move on, so that you do not make a commitment reluctantly and get yourself in trouble later, by not keeping you promise to do what you say you will do.

The Power of Now

I was thinking this morning about the amazing thing that Oprah is doing with Eckhart Tolle and is book "A New Earth, Awaking to Your Life's Purpose". She has been promoting this book for the past few weeks and getting people world wide to sign up for her online training program. At last count over 500,000 people world-wide had signed up. It not only shows the power of television but it also shows that the world is really in search of a new way of thinking. It also shows that there is a need for the world to change its current pattern on how it operates. A few years back I read a lot of books that talked about how humans were fed up with the merry-go-round of going to work to get money to buy things so that they could be satisfied about going to work. It was a perfect example of a world that needs to change its priorities in regards to where you are now.

Most of the people I know in Canada anyway, live in nice homes, have money, drive nice cars, complain about the weather and have pretty much everything they want. However there seems to be a general feeling of unhappiness in what most people do. Tolle's " A New Earth" is a pretty amazing book as it breaks down a lot of the myths that humans have operated under for a lot of life and starts to help people get in touch with what is important now. His other books " The Power of Now" teach, that the "now" exists in the mind and that the mind is the most important tool there is as " what you think about expands". Its this commitment to being present that will help you take the ego out of your everyday life and give you a positive mind set to allow you to accomplish what it is you want as opposed to doing what you think it is you want.

I admire my wife, Oprah and Eckhart Tolle for being " life pioneers" again and committing to making the world a better place. Now if we can only get the rest of the world to remove its historical and religious biases the world will be a better place.

How to Have Your Best Year Ever

As the year comes to an end its always a good time to reflect on what has been happening in your life. This is not the time to make a bunch of ill conceived new year's resolutions. In order to have the best year of your life you need to get back to that place where you feel you belong. This usually requires some form of key decision making about where you are right now, right here right now. This is a great place to start. Get yourself a planning journal.

This book should become your bible for the new year. Start with a review of where you have been in the past year and where you would like to go. Take everything just as it is, bumps and all and write it down. Develop your dream journal so you can have a few new things on the horizon. The secret is that the power of attraction will move towards you as you start to get more in integrity about where you are and where you want to go.

The dream list should point out a few new opportunities. The other keys to having your best year ever, are to believe, that what it you are looking for this year will just show up. The only thing to be aware of is that it may not happen as fast as you would like. A good trick and one that is used by a lot of zen practitioners is to participate in segment living. In other words, taking sections of the year and building them into segments. You develop a focus through concentrating on focusing on each segment of your life.

Understanding everything about where you are now, what it is you are experiencing and then fully living each and every experience. Each segment has a focus so that everything your are doing has meaning.

As soon as you have faith in what it is your are experiencing especially with the truths that you experience and accepting then what it is that is given to you. The other key is to know it will show up. The biggest issue with most people is; they usually give up thinking or manifesting what it is they want too soon. Remember the universe works on its own time.

So this year when you go into that state of depression where everything you wanted has not shown up yet, go back to your journal and start manifesting a whole lot more. When you commit to something and focus in on it, it will have a better chance of success than not committing to anything at all. Its time to manefist you best year ever.

Commit to Manifesting What it is You Want

I have been reading a lot of things about manifesting recently. Manifesting is getting what it is you want and why. I realized however that manifesting is a major commitment. If one really wants something to happen in the world, then one needs to become clear with the creator, get connected and really commit to believing that it will happen.

Manifesting is a simple process. It takes commitment however, as you need to truly understand and believe that whatever you want to have happen in your life, is truly possible. The power of the commitment is to have enough faith in knowing that you will get what it is you want, when you want it even if it is something that you think is totally out of your grasp.

Manifesting is also a significant focusing technique. The individual just needs to learn to follow through and stay focused on the outcome and not give up. Another tip for manifesting is to remember the universe's time for delivering may be different from your timing.

The key here is to give your dreams a time line that is broad based. Another tip I have learned is not to ask for money. For example; if it is money that you need, then abundance is what you want. The key to everything is to be committed to the asking and then recognizing the opportunities that are presented that start to lead you to your manifested outcome.

Here's an example. A number of years ago, I wrote down five things I wanted in my life on a piece of paper and put it in a drawer. Five years after that exercise I was moving into my new log house in the country and found this piece of paper. All five things that were written down on the piece of paper had been achieved without me really knowing it. I had forgotten that I even wrote them down and one of things was living in a log house in the country.

I believe now that I set the path then for the universe to help me by committing and writing down what is was I wanted and since I did not cancel my request, everything happened as it was supposed to.

So, if you just commit to manifesting what it is you want, then good things can
happen. You just need to become more aware them when they do. Also be careful for what you ask for as it will always show up. Its all about attitude and commitment.

Soul Destiny Helps You Commit to Discovering Wealth and Wisdom

I recently purchased a home study program called " Soul Destiny" because the title intrigued me. Little did I know that I was about to embark upon a unique journey of commitment.

"Soul Destiny" helps you to re-discover and manifest your inner soul destiny and transforms your thinking, opens up the possibilities and frees yourself from limiting beliefs, patterns and habits so that you can become all that you desire. The main commitment behind"Soul Destiny" is that you need to commit to meditation for a minimum of 15 minutes per day and keeping your Soul Destiny journal up to date.

The journal is a unique way to track your thoughts and opportunities that you receive or are presented to you from your daily meditations. I suggest often to my clients that they should keep a journal for special things such as wealth building opportunities, dreams and goals, gratitude or unique business building opportunities.

The "Soul Destiny" journal also uses mind maps to get you to visualize what it is that is important. It also uses diagrams as ways of connecting thoughts and ideas so you can see that you are not limited in you ability to see new things or opportunities which may or may not be connected.

Throughout the program you discover why you are here on the planet at this time and what it is you are here to be and do. Its a a powerful journey of human transformation and enlightenment.

The basis of the program is the brilliant work of Charles Haanel, called The Master Key System, written originally in 1913. The interesting thing is that Mr. Haanel describes the power of attraction in more detail than The Secret. His work, while thought to be an extraordinary and insightful look into the human condition, was kept from the majority of the public at the time of publishing as it was deemed as far too radical for public acceptance.

The program has been responsible for thousands of people discovering and or rediscovering and manifesting their life purpose. I have committed to learning more about myself with this program and it is having a major impact on my life.

So its that simple! Sometimes its that one simple commitment that can open up the door to amazing possibilities and change your life forever.
