By giving away food we get more strength. By bestowing clothing on others we gain more beauty. By donating abodes of purity and truth, we acquire great treasures. --Buddha
Put seeds and cover them. Blades will sprout where you do your work. -Rumi
New seed is faithful. Its roots deepest in the places that are most empty. -Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Have you ever heard the saying: "thoughts are things"$%: It is a simple statement and seemingly widely accepted and well known that everything achieved is first mentally conceived.
Take a look around you. All of the things that we live in and use, houses, cars, food in supermarkets, space stations, the Internet, are all things and were first ideas in the minds of people who dared to think outside of what was the normally accepted boundaries for what was possible.
Breaking through our imaginary roof and releasing all sorts of inadequacies and even fantasies takes courage and dynamic action. Otherwise, your imagined limitations will keep you from being focused and completing what you need to get done. When we are "trying" to concentrate, we go to the toilet, we eat a lot, we put a load of clothes in the washer, we call someone... the list goes on and on. We must not only learn to control our minds, but also our bodily movements.
You can create whatever you can imagine and impress onto your consciousness. If you imagine big things, you must practice or exercise your imagination. Just as a baby needs to learn to take small steps before it can walk and then run, we need practice at concentrating and imagining things. A concentrated mind pays attention to his or her self and their environment.
Some of our best and most innovative ideas often come from our darkest challenges and difficulties. These can be life's greatest gifts, for they urge us to think differently and greatly, if we are willing to look for the possibilities.
Start with smaller desires that you can believe and expect and you will either slowly or more quickly learn to have faith in creating greater things. Even if you do not know what you want, you can pretend that you know. The simple act of deciding on one thing and concentrating on will help you in getting the clarity you desire. Start by honouring your own special skills and abilities. Everyone has something special about them. Make a list and choose one thing from this list.
Create possibilities with your imagination. Dream up a situation where your desire became possible for you.
Create distance to whatever challenge or difficulty your mind presents to you, whether real or imagined. Push the problem or problems away from you as if you are watching a movie and imagine the desired solutions, or imagine that it is someone else with the problems and they have asked you for help.
Know that you are worthy of these possibilities. Say to yourself: "The things I create are even better than I imagine them to be."
Break through your limitations and see them for what they are: thoughts that we have formed in our own minds. If you are experiencing an ebb, with more money going out than coming in, don't panic. Do not lose confidence in yourself or think that somehow you have failed. The challenge here is to believe in your future prosperity, for all phases are temporary. Focus on what you are learning from the experience and move on. As you become better at recognizing these cycles, you will be more prepared and better able to create what you need, when you need it.
