Peace
comes from within. Do not seek it without. – Buddha
All
that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become. – Buddha
Meditation
can be practiced all the time and even in a market place. Meditation is all
about being conscious and aware of our actions, thoughts and feelings. – Unknown
Instead
of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can
create. ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
As we continue to strive towards our dreams, we are daily visualizing
accomplishing our dreams, daily reviewing our goals and daily taking actions
that help us accomplish our goals. All of
these actions are very good because it shows we are focused on our purpose and
our dreams. However, these actions can be
an inhibitor to progress because accomplishing our dreams is always on our
minds and we are talking to friends about our dreams, but they may not be supportive
and encouraging of OUR dreams. Also, we
may get depressed and worried when we see SOME progress on our dreams, but we have
not seen the full manifestation of our dreams.
What do we do when we get discouraged?
Meditate on the positive. Rick
Warren said in his daily devotional on March 3, 2019, “If you know how to
worry, you know how to meditate. Meditation is simply focusing on one thought
over and over.” During the trying times
of waiting to see our dreams come true, it is important to continually meditate
on the positive things of life.
To stay positive, here are a few examples that will help turn a
negative attitude into a positive one:
- Write in a gratitude journal 2 or 3 amazing things to be thankful for in a day. By thinking about gratitude, we are mediating on the positive in life.
- Meditate on a positive poem, song or Bible verse.
- Help someone else. When helping others, our focus turns to the other person and off of ourselves.
By meditating on the positive, we change our perspective and refocus our
lives toward our dreams.
