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...

We can select how much and what we want to do with our life.  Every course of action has challenges associated with it.

I've chosen to make all I can of my life.  I've set a goal of fully accepting and relating to being ONE with all that exists.  I can monitor my progress by tracking the degree to which I see that awareness reflected back to me in the world.  

At this point I see I have friends and cliens where our relationship reflects that we do all we can to help and uplift one another.  That win win thinking is a reflection of being ONE.  My podcasts reflect this win win orientation and being ONE orientation as well.  The podcasts have been downloaded in over 130 countries.

There is more internal acceptance ahead of me as my perception is that the dominant thinking throughout the world is zero sum, not win win.  I know as I more fully accept and relate to being ONE, that win win thinking, the understanding that what we do to anyone we're doing to ourself, and our percepting of everyone is a reflection of my perception of myself; will be my experienced of life.

To accomplish this I need to have a greater and more complete acceptance of the fact I am ONE with all that exists.  I work on this every day, accepting where I'm at in my progress.

This represents a big challenge for me.  I could change the challenge I've taken on at any time, and I choose not to.

I offer thought coaching.  In that process my clients learn what thoughts they are acting on and the choice to select what thoughts they will act on going forward.  This is true freedom.  To schedule a free introductory coaching session, contact me at scottfriedman40@gmail.com
