Mind over Matter

Every event has a purpose and every setback its lesson. I have realized that failure, whether of the personal, professional or even spiritual kind, is essential to personal expansion. It brings inner growth and a whole host of psychic rewards. Never regret your past. Rather, embrace it as the teacher that it is.

No matter what happens to you in your life, you alone have the capacity to choose your response to it. When you form the habit of searching for the positive in every circumstance, your life will move into its highest dimensions. This is one of the greatest of all the natural laws.

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be.

When you fight against something negative, you use most of your energy just to stay even. There is little, if any, remaining to help you get ahead. Even if you win, you loose. Instead, work to redirect negative energy & influence into positive direction. It is not as difficult as it sound. Love & hate are just across the border from each other. Anger and inspiration are separated by a thin line. The same raw energy creates sadness as well as joyful bliss. Just as electricity is made useful to make a room very warm or very cold, so too can the energy of life be used to manifest seemingly “opposite” result. The energy is there & it is up to you to decide what it will become. Don’t fight it. Accept it & find a way to use it.
