The Ancestor of Every Action is a Thought.

“The ancestor of every action is a thought.”

Emerson

It is fascinating to think that the power of attraction and the power of our thoughts have been acknowledged throughout history (and herstory). Today we have great teachers such as Jerry and Esther Hicks who speak about the work of Abraham—teachings of the Ancient Universal Laws of Attraction.  Oprah, Larry King,  and many others have shown a strong interest in a new film entitled “The Secret”.  All of these amazing works point us in one direction—our thoughts direct our every action.  I am beginning to believe that this is a simple concept thst may now be one of the greatest collective conscience teachings of our time.

So, what if we were really to integrate this thought into our daily lives—the thought that the mind rules our actions.   How would things be different?  We may begin to choose our thoughts carefully.  We may begin to choose thoughts that were in alignment with how we wanted our lives to be lived.  We may begin to think about the thoughts that we hold for other people that may be damaging or destructive and how they could be transformed into more caring or compassionate thoughts.

The power is ours to make these decisions. 

Take a look at your thoughts currently.  What  are they?  How could they more closely reflect the day that you want to create?

To Fully Express Our Gifts In The World Is One Of Life’s Greatest Joys

“To deny that we are gifted is, perhaps, to indulge in false humility, which allows us to shirk our responsibility to the gifts. Gifts must be developed and passed on.”
---- Deena Metzger From Trusting Yourself M.J. Ryan

It is easier for us to remain unaware of our natural talents and gifts, for this allows us the opportunity not to fully claim or express them in the world. Knowledge of our gifts alone places a certain responsibility for us to live into them. Life can sometimes be simpler if we are not fully participating. In some cases our denying that we have gifts and talents is part of the process that we go through in order to realize, gain confidence and then fully own our talents and gifts. It takes time and experience to witness the patterns in our life that show us our gifts. There is no doubt that we are each unique and carry a special offering. Much of the art of life is realizing these great gifts and expressing them in the world fully. For this expression is one of the greatest joys one can realize.
