FOUR SECRETS WE ALL NEED TO LEARN TO USE EVERY DAY TO CREATE A LIFE OF LOVE and JOY WORTH LIVING!
One of my beloved subscribers who reads “The Dawning Light” every day left this comment on my poem….” Caught Between Two Worlds”.
“Old and alone is the saddest state but your thoughts are a momentary relief. Thank you.”
The story below is my spontaneous and heartfelt response to her comment….
You can read “Caught Between Two Worlds” here….
My dear friend…
Here are the FOUR GREAT SECRETS that will empower you to create a happy life you love living everyday…
# 1….CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSE TO ACCEPT AND BELIEVE ONLY POSITIVE, LOVING and GRATEFUL THOUGHTS
One of the great Secrets to mastering life that is a universal cosmic law is to understand the power of our thoughts to shape our reality and experience of life…
It is our thoughts we choose to listen to which determine everything, whether we are happy or sad, full of faith and hope or living in depression and despair.
When I learned this truth, I realized that if I could be aware of and control and direct my thoughts to being positive, hopeful and faithful, I would always be able to change from being depressed to being in a state of grateful peace of mind.
I know it sounds impossible but i assure you that it is absolutely true.
I ESCAPED FROM THE PRISON OF MY OWN DARK THOUGHTS
I stopped being a victim of my own mind.
I tore down the prison walls of my own dark thoughts.
And I worked and still work very hard every minute of every day to accept only the thoughts that make me feel good…and avoid the ones that make me feel bad…
In the same way that I will not stick my hand into a fire because it hurts too much and could destroy my hand… I will not allow my mind to dwell on the terrible things that have happened in the past, or on the wonderful things and people I have lost or anything else that will make me sad or feel bad…
I suffered from deep depression for too many years, and now that I know this Secret….that it is my own thoughts that determine how i feel, how i see life, and what I experience…
I refuse to keep drinking that poison…for i know that the quality of my life and happiness totally depends on this one thing—controlling and directing my mind to being positive, grateful, inspired and God devoted.
MIND IS ALWAYS LIKE WATER THAT WILL FLOW TO THE LOWEST PLACE
Amma, one of my closest heart teachers, says…”Mind is like water…it will always flow to the lowest possible place if you allow it to do so…But mind is also so powerful that we can direct and ride it to the highest levels of love and consciousness if we are willing to be constantly vigilant and take charge.”
All the good things in my life now have come through knowing this Secret.
Every thought you are having is creative and has an effect of your perceptions and emotions…
ALL THOUGHTS, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, GROW STRONGER THE MORE YOU BELIEVE AND REPEAT THEM
But here is how it works…those thoughts you choose to dwell on and repeat to your self grow stronger and stronger with every repetition.
By constantly telling yourself “I am alone and old and my life is sad and hopeless” you actually make it come true…and then as you believe and repeat that thought, you will feel worse and worse and worse until it completely takes over your life!
I am not kidding!
OUR OWN MINDS CAN MAKE OUR LIVES INTO HEAVEN OR HELL
I have watched many friends turn their lives into hell by believing and accepting and constantly repeating dark and despairing thoughts to themselves…and then dying horrible deaths.
If I didn’t know this secret, I could have easily followed their path into darkness and become the lowest worst version of myself, probably ending up as a lonely, homeless alcoholic and completely wasting this beautiful life.
Believe me…
You and every one of us have the power to make our lives into either heaven or hell.
The wise person knows and uses this Secret to choose only positive, grateful and loving thoughts which constantly improve the quality of their lives.
My life would be worthless. And i would not be able to help anyone or have the amazing relationships I now have if I was not practicing this secret with everything I have got within me that is good and uplifting.
Yes, it is very hard to do sometimes when the challenges of life get tough and when hard things happen, but I know very well if I don’t apply this Secret, I will suffer terribly…
And i have no interest in suffering, especially now that I understand that almost all suffering is SELF INFLICTED BY OUR OWN MINDS.
You never have to feel old and alone and a victim of your circumstances if you will take this secret and use it!
All the good things that your heart longs for can be attained through using this Secret.
“IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY, THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS!”
“IF YOU WANT TO BE LOVED AND CARED ABOUT, BE LOVING AND CARING!”
If you don’t like the way your life is, CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS AND BELIEFS ABOUT IT!
Remember the Wayne Dwyer quote at the bottom of every one of these issues of “The Dawning Light”?
“When you change the way you think about things, the things you think about change!”
—Wayne Dwyer
I also recommend being very careful what you give your attention to!
# 2…. ANOTHER SECRET POWER FOR GOOD IS TO CONSCIOUSLY GIVE YOUR GOLDEN ATTENTION TO UPLIFTING THINGS
Read inspiring and uplifting books or watch feel good movies or listen to uplifting music that actually help you see how amazing this life is and all the positive potential it still has for you—-I do all these things myself every day.
I also am careful not to associate with negative, selfish people….I choose to spend time with positive people that are working their own inner process of constantly seeking to improve themselves, their lives and the world.
