Courage of persistence show art Courage of persistence

spiritual principles made practical's podcast

We persist in areas that are important to us.  Sometimes it takes persistence over a long period of time to achieve our objective.  It took me over 20 years before I would allow myself to write my first book. There is a block to realizing more of my potential that I've been consciously aware of for decades.  I keep chipping away at that block by allowing myself to be increasingly spontaneous in the present moment.  Nevertheless, there is a contribution to the world I feel compelled to make that in my estimation, I'm holding back.  I am having the thouht that I need to...

Courage of my convictions show art Courage of my convictions

spiritual principles made practical's podcast

Having the courage of my convictions is a challenge.  I know and believe that believing in myself is necessary to thrive at the highest level.  That becomes a challenge when believing in what I know to be true, and am committed to, is at odds with "conventional wisdom".  The longstanding habit of going along with other's thinking and behavior in an effort to feel more connected, more included,  more loved and more successful is a destructive habit.   What works is trusting myself and what I know.  I've tried to do things the way others do and by and large it...

Faith and creation show art Faith and creation

spiritual principles made practical's podcast

I have always been successful at creating what I want when I am at peace with the process of that creation and confident of my success.   I have goals, inspiration and desires that I don't yet have the clarity and confidence to achieve.   Fortunately, I have a method of addressing this situation.  I know that acceptance is healing and the most efficient way forward is to have a greater acceptance of what is true right now.  Right now, what's true is I have created a circumstance in my life that is bringing my resistance to having the success I want in the world to the...

Realizing my potential show art Realizing my potential

spiritual principles made practical's podcast

Inaccurate thoughts blind me to realizing my potential.  The more conscious I can be of my thoughts and the power I have to choose which thoughts to believe and act on, the more I can access my unlimited potential consciouly.  We all have unlimited potential.  The more accepting of ourself, the more honest with ourself we are, the more we claim our power.   We create the world we perceive with the thoughts we choose to believe and act on.  That's the basis of the longstanding thought, "If you think you can, or if you think you can't, your're right".   To realize...

Relating more to our inner world creating our outer world show art Relating more to our inner world creating our outer world

spiritual principles made practical's podcast

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...

Learning and living the hard way show art Learning and living the hard way

spiritual principles made practical's podcast

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...

When we focus on the deepest part of ourselves, we are focusing on the part of ourself that is eternal and will never change; the best part of our self.  Because our innermost part will never change, to have alignment and all the benefits of alignment we need to get the parts of us that do change to align with our innermost self.  We can change our thinking, our behavior, our relationships, and how we view ourself.  

So how do we increase our focus on our innermost self?  For me, it's what's left when thinking stops, peace.  My thinking stops when I observe thoughts as they arise in my mind and choose to acknowledge their existence and not act on them; allow the thoughts to drift out of mind just as they drifted into my mind.  Having the thought that this peace is part of me and there to be experienced whenever I want is a comforting thought.

I offer thought coaching where we increase acceptance of the thoughts in our mind and the freedom we have to choose what thoughts to act on.  If this is something you're inspired to do, contact me at scottfriedman40@gmail.com.
