You create your own future

Believe beyond the past and present moments

Your success depends on the belief you have in yourself. You want something different in your life. You do not have it at the moment, but do you believe that you can attain it? Unless you believe that you can attain it, you will not. One limiting element is to harp on the past. The past is not equal to the future. Merely use the experience of the past to learn a better way to proceed, as you are not doomed to repeat the past.

Life is about expansion. Therefore, most times you want to achieve something beyond where you are today. That is what vision is about. The key to moving forward is that you have to see yourself beyond where you are today. If you wallow in the space where you are today, you will not move to the next higher rung of achievement. You have to see yourself beyond your present circumstances, and not be bogged down in what you think is the reality of today.

You must believe in yourself to be the success that you want to be. Belief in oneself is half of the battle of achievement. Putting it another way, if you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you cannot, you will prove yourself right. Belief is the self-starting switch that gets you off the launching pad. Believe in yourself, and soar like an eagle! Live beyond the past, and the present; embrace the vision you have of the future. Your thoughts provide connection for your actions that create the future you want. Go for it.

Your Inner Guiidance

YOUR INNER GUIDANCE

You have a map that guides your life. It is internal to your being, and is some- times called “your internal map of reality.“ It is called your inner map of reality because you use it as the truth for your living moment by moment.

Most of the views expressed in this Blog, are not new to you. However, sometimes I present them from a new angle. Anyway, you will only warm to those ideas that fit with your internal map of reality. That map was created from the experiences, joys, hurts, trauma, and exhilaration that you have tasted in your journey from the womb to the present time.

It is natural for the mind to think, analyze, follow logic, and be caught up in dilemma and complexity. However, often you lose sight of the fact that the mind is only a tool, and it is not your essence. The mind structures your internal map of reality to take account of your premier relationship, which is safety in the family.

Your views, values, concerns, hopes, aspirations, vision, and creative spirit are all nurtured, and at the same time destroyed, in the crucible of the family relationship. This is a formation that takes place quite automatically, and often without any formal structure. Thus, you need to become more conscious of your core values, and live in harmony with them.
