Connecting With a Personal Development Community
It is a fascinating process to be growing spiritually at the same time as starting up a new business or indeed doing anything at all that requires concentration, dedication and your time. Spiritual growth, at least for those of us who are not Masters, takes time and awareness. A sort of constant state of thinking about who and what you are being, doing and having.
I have often wondered if it is possible to experience leaps of personal growth while highly engaged with a job or other activity. Yet now, after 18 months of very intense personal development and having the time to put to that, I have taken over a business and am once again immersed in things other than concentrating being the highest being that I can be. Is it possible to do both?
Yes and yes. Delightfully, excitingly and energetically I now believe that anything is possible. I can have my business and personal development too.
This is a pleasing concept for me as I came to my new life 18 months ago after many years of demanding work during which I rarely had time to sleep let alone read Deepak Chopra or watch The Secret. For years the joy of such pastimes slipped right be my. Sure I was aware of the brouhaha surrounding The Secret and somewhere in the depths of my memory I recalled something about thought control and The Silva Method. But to actively pursue such concepts was beyond me at the time.
Now, though, it is the nectar of life to me. It is that which is the source of my energy and personal strength. I found that you simply take the time for what you want. If you want it enough you will choose to find the time. And I choose to extend my spiritual growth, every minute of every day. To create my path and to reach for my higher self.
And now for the tip, link up with like minded people, source the connections around you so that you place yourself with others who will support, encourage and nurture you. And enjoy the path to a life that you have made for yourself because the journey is not about the destination. It is about all of the fun along the way. And here is an online community that will do all of the things that I have just mentioned - iamconnected.com – go ahead and take a look. It just might be the community of support that you are looking for.
Networking For Fun
Having lived years of my life at the high end of corporate town, I have heard enough about networking to last me a lifetime – or so I thought until recently. You see, I am accustomed to networking events being those traumatising things that you go to, dredge up the courage to stroll up to someone and say g’day and then spend the rest of the time listening to them extol the virtues of this, or that or some other thing. Just generally putting on the spin. I apologise for this somewhat negative view, but even so, I have decided to let it stand. It does say something about my life then, in those days.
And how do I know – perhaps things have changed and corporate networking events have become easy for everyone.
Recently I joined up to an online networking experience that is a lot more fun. No more donning of the corporate attire, the sickly smile or the determined look of a warrior. No, this way I get to sit in my lovely home office and tool about other’s websites/blogsites and offer warm and genuine comments of encouragement. I can relax and send love across the miles:)
Well, that feels pretty nice and is enticing me to go on. And why, you may well ask? The reason is that these lovely folks come visit me back, they do kind and generous things to help to elevate my websites in the google-o-sphere and they generally lift my spirits. And as if that is not enough, it is a well known fact!!! Yessirreeee Bob, a scientific fact, that doing good deeds is good for your health and general well being.
So now, when I start up my hot IMac (love it you know) on a Sunday afternoon, and I go networking, I am lifting my spirits, feeling pretty damned good because I am doing something for another soul and excited about all of the visits that I can expect over the coming week. Oh and advancing my health and well being.
Hmm not too bad for a bit of fun. Doing good, attracting good, more good, good fun. Yep, that’l do me.
I have just one thing further to say on this subject Imaginif’s new Secret Santa Networking, SEO and Pay It Forward business just rocks!!! It truly does and if you are reading this and you are not a part of it then I can only say hop to it.
Happiness is a Holiday
No Leave, No Life, that is what you have when you work non-stop. There used to be a time when it went “All work and no play, makes Jack and dull boy”. Can you believe that Australians have hoarded 121 million days of annual leave? They must all feel like taking a holiday.
How can it be a happy and joyful thing to work non-stop, hoard your holidays for when? I wonder if there ever comes a time that it is sweet to take those holidays.
Australians are also able to cash out all of their annual leave except two weeks, leaving little opportunity for a happy holiday. So now it is possible to work constantly and receive cash instead of the lovely break of the good old days. Remember that time when families met up at the beach every year, year after year, to experience life in all of it’s glory.
I am here today to make it easy for you to dip into your pool of accumulated leave and join the “take leave, live life” group. Use the think, talk, act plan – the energy of thoughts, build the picture with words and take action.
That is, create your holiday and here are 4 easy steps to help you get your annual break organised:-
- Think about having a holiday, where you would like to go and what you would like to do
- Talk to people about doing it, who is coming with you and so on
- Take action, book your leave, book your holiday
- Then relax, enjoy the anticipation and get into the holiday attitude.
A final word to entice you away from your desk; people who spend some money on experiences rather than possessions are happier!! And is that not what life is about.
What is the Law of Attraction?
The belief held by many theorists is that the universe is governed by a set of universal laws; these laws cannot be changed, cannot be broken and apply to every individual, regardless of age or nationality. These laws are the riverbanks which guide the flow of their lives on its journey to its ultimate end.
The law of attraction is one such law. The law of attraction is the belief that anyone can determine their destiny through the power of their minds.
“The Law of Attraction attracts to you everything you need, according to the nature of your thoughts. Your environment and financial condition are the perfect reflection of your habitual thinking.” Joseph Murphy
The History of the Law of Attraction
Before we go too deep into the modern applications of the law of attraction it is important that you understand that this is not simply New Age nonsense (most descriptions of the law of attraction refer to it as a product of a New Age Mentality). The principles of the law of attraction date back far beyond the new found popularity of the New Age.
The immortal Buddha was actually one of the first to introduce man to the law of attraction. He said, “What you have become is what you have thought.” This was a principle that the people of the east were acquainted with for centuries before it began to sweep into the western hemisphere.
The concept of karma also may have drawn its roots from the law of attraction. Karma states that you will eventually be revisited by that which you have sent out into the universe. If you have practiced kindness and compassion you will receive in kind. If you have been deliberately cruel to another you will receive back into your life that cruelty which you have sent out. Your actions and thoughts morph into physical entities, causing the universe to react in kind.
The law of attraction began to gain popularity in the western hemisphere in the 19th century, as people began to appreciate the power of positive thinking and apply it to their life. This new concept was first introduced to the general public by William Walker Atkinson, the editor of New Thought magazine, who published a book called Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World in 1906.
As you can see, the law of attraction is not new. The concept that thought can have a predominate affect on the course of a man’s destiny has been taught by wise men throughout the ages, and has given rise to a whole new era of beliefs.
What is the Premise of the Law of Attraction?
The theory behind the law of attraction is the belief that energy attracts like energy in the vast expanse of space and time that comprises our universe. Each person’s being is constantly radiating energy out into space; the type of energy being radiated is determined by the emotional state of the individual in question and may differ from day to day-sometimes even hour to hour!
This emotional energy is what is commonly known as a “vibe” and is referred to as a vibration by scientists studying the law of attraction. Chances are that you are familiar with the term. Have you ever been with someone who is so happy they seem to be radiating a “glow which inspires happiness in all those around them? By the same token, have you ever spent time with someone who was so critical and unhappy that they consistently gave off a “negative vibe” which seemed to suck the life and happiness out of all those around them?
You do not have to possess psychic powers to be able to feel the vibes that people emit; this energy is very real on a psychological plane and will affect anyone, anywhere at any time. Our vibrations are usually an unconscious response to some form of environmental stimulus; something has happened which has caused us to feel happy, or sad, or scared, or confused, or stressed, etc., and our subconscious response to this (because vibes are generated and projected from the subconscious rather than the conscious) is something that is beyond our control.
Chances are the person who is emitting a negative vibe does not choose to be unhappy, nor do they wish to inflict their unhappiness on all those around them by the simple fact of their presence. (Before you say what you are thinking, yes, there are some exceptions to this rule. Misery does love company and there are many who take a great deal of delight in inflicting their pain on other people. It is important to understand that this is not usually done in a desire to cause others pain but out a desire to not feel so alone in their unhappiness. But we digress…)
There are a number of feelings which lead to positive and negative vibes being emitted, and it is important before we continue on any form of discussion about the law of attraction that you understand what each of these are (you’ll understand the reasons for this a little later).
Positive vibes Positive vibes are generated from good feelings, such as:
- Joy
- Love
- Excitement
- Abundance (of anything that causes a positive response)
- Pride
- Comfort
- Confidence
- Affection
Negative vibes Negative vibes are generated from negative feelings, such as:
- Disappointment
- Loneliness
- Lack (of any of life’s necessities or luxuries)
- Sadness
- Confusion
- Stress
- Anger
- Hurt
What do Vibes Have to With the Law of Attraction?
As we mentioned earlier the fundamental principle of the law of attraction is the belief that life energy attracts like energy. This means that if a person is emitting positive vibes they will draw good things to them and if they are emitting negative vibes they will draw bad things to them.
”You are a living magnet, attracting what you want.”
You have seen this principle in practice before. Have you ever known someone who was always upbeat and positive and seemed to be too lucky to be true? On the flip side, you have certainly known someone who loved to complain and look on the darker sides of life that always seemed to have something new to complain about because things were always going wrong in their life. These examples show people attracting the results of the energy they are giving off.
“Remember, you attract to your life whatever you give your attention, energy and focus to, whether wanted or unwanted.” Michael J. Losier
Does this mean that all of the bad things that happen to you in this life are because you subconsciously wanted them to? This is one of the most common arguments against the concept of the law of attraction and it often the hardest to refute because people have not yet recognized that the law of attraction is not a pipe dream or something that someone dreamed up while sitting on their porch one hot summer night. It is a fact of life, and its effects are far reaching.
In answer to your question, no, not everything bad that happens in your life is a result of you subconsciously wishing for it to happen. Sometimes it is a result of someone else wishing for it to happen. To quote an example from a website pertaining to the law of attraction a child or a spouse who is abused is not abused because they wished for this abuse to happen. This abuse happened because the abuser allowed their negative thoughts concerning their child or spouse to creep across their subconscious until they eventually began to dictate their actions.
The mind is a powerful thing, and where the mind goes the feet will soon follow. The foundation of any success you are going to encounter in lie is not the ability of your physical body to overcome the obstacles but of your mind to believe that a way lies around them. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Where your mind can believe that there is a way for the body to achieve its heart’s desire a way does exist.
