What is the greatest seminar? As Timothy Gallwey says: “This seminar is your everyday life and you’ve been enrolled in it since you were born.”
We’ve all heard the cliché: “Life experiences are the best teacher.” However, one’s ‘experiences’ alone are not really the teacher, but rather one’s awareness and intuitive insights of what that experience means. John Dewey said, “We do not learn from experience we learn from reflecting on experience.”
So the best seminar ever created is your daily life experiences. You’ve been signed up in this seminar while you were still in your mother’s womb – research shows this fact. Then as a baby, you were too young to get up and walk, or say anything. But as soon as you started moving around you learned to walk and talk – you learned from your experiences. Watching my own children do this was simply ASTONISHING!
THE LEARNING MINDSET
Now many years later as an adult you must affirm yourself to be a learner during your twenty-four hours. You must develop the learning mindset, and you must pay attention to the teacher – experience itself.
You have to realise that you are intimately connected with your life, the things that are happening to you are not random. They are reflections, they are indicators of your energy, your beliefs, your mood, and your attitudes.
LAW OF ATTRACTION
So the Law of Attraction will always bring you…
… situations, people, circumstances based on how you’re feeling
… LOA is your best friend because it is showing you your choices so you can make better choices
… LOA is helping you to know how you can gain control of the way you think and feel
For example, when you are buried in despondency or worry of not having the money or the opportunities that would bring you the money. And because of these thoughts and feelings what you desire will continue to slip through your fingers.
When you feel a lack of money things that feel like lack will dominate your experience. When you have a prosperity consciousness only things that feel like prosperity will be drawn to you. The LOA is consistent and it will teach you, through life experiences, but you have to have the right mindset to see it.
This is very powerful stuff but many people suffer from a term which is called “pathological disbelief” which is a condition described as “I wouldn’t believe it even it was true.” WOW!
ADVERSITY INTO ADVANTAGE
Also, the most difficult thing to appreciate is that those life experiences that are painful and distressing are oddly the most valuable. Benjamin Franklin said: “The things which hurt instruct.” When you have an intention, then the stumbling blocks are actually offering you a way of how to get to where you want to go – carving the way forward.
“Pray for patience, the Lord sends you trials. Pray for wisdom, the Lord sends problems. Pray for blessings, the Lord sends opportunities. Pray for growth the Lord sends trials, problems, and opportunities.”
Weak organisations are destroyed by crises. Strong organisations are improved by them.
Great individuals always find a way to transform weaknesses into strengths. Overcoming mental obstacles, emotional obstacles, physical obstacles, they are able to “perceive” their lives clearly. CLARITY IS SO POWERFUL. And we should with diligent effort make our way to becoming enlightened. Staying ignorant means you will be bumping into things indefinitely.
Untrained warriors are soon killed on the battlefield. So also are people who are ignorant (meaning to ignore) in the art of building mental and emotional strengths will be quickly cut down by worry and anxiety. The Spartan warrior said it so well: “Sweat more in training bleed less in war.” For me, this means that the mental and emotional gym that I practice every day literally primes me for happiness and achievement.
“Why not use whatever irritates you or frustrates you or frightens you during your day as bravery training.” – Robin Sharma.
STABILITY
The powerful thing to always remember is that stability is an emotional manifestation and when you “feel stable” you now have control of physical stability, relationship stability, health stability. Also remember that if you feel insecure you are, if you feel vulnerable you are.
What you are wanting is to be the creator of your mood, your emotion, your energy. It is how you build your inner stability that is key.
Our overriding intention is to assist our clients to build foundational stability. But it is not outside stability but inner resilience that is key in our current challenges. We have the tools and the know-how of how to make changes that will bring your greater happiness and success.
This is an extraordinary time we’re living in and there’s going to be a lot of challenges. But there are also going to be some incredible blessings and gifts too.
