8 Principles to get you where you're going

Whatever your conditions, certain principles would enable you to effectively adapt.  Regardless of your view of success, these ideas will assist you to get where you're going:  

1) Recognize you decide when and where you will work through something.  Whatever is on your mind requires attention.  It may involve other people or factors outside yourself.  Choose to deal with things when you're detached and nonemotional.

2) Re-evaluate your focus and priorities.  The attitudes of people around you may affect you.  Remember, your thoughts are always in your control.   You have power to decide what feelings and relations are worth letting go if they don't serve your growth.

3) Accept the consequences of your choices.  Accountability is key.  Indecisiveness isn't an option.  If you're unwilling to have faith and support your decisions, or, if you choose to wallow in regret, its not only harder to see forward, you block your progress.

4) Live each moment to the fullest.  This requires you to learn to focus on the 'here and now.'  Make the best of where you are and the life you are living.  What somebody else somewhere else is or isn't doing doesn't matter.  You're your point of reference.

5) Trust your intuition.  To train yourself to listen to your inner voice may require unlearning other conditioning.  Its 'par for the course.'  In order to nurture faith in yourself, you have to figure out who you are and the implications.  Ready, get set, go!

6) Take the time you need.  Remind yourself time is a human invention and you also decide how to perceive it.  If you permit fear of not having enough, you may rush and behave in ways that do not work in your inteerest.  Be aware of the element of time.

7) Value delegation.  You need not always be at the centre of the action or focus of attention.  Part of getting where you're going means you need to value how you can learn from and share tasks with others.  You can play a vital role behind the scenes too.

8) Attune to your moods.  How you think and feel isn't always in your best interest.  As you raise awareness about your moods, you gain insight into yourself.  That empowers you to open your senses, and view situations with greater foresight and objectivity.

Liara,
I believe that if we do these tasks daily, weekly or monthly that they will prove to be of value to our growth and empowerment. Thanks for pointing them out.

Mark, we draw people into our lives who respond to our thoughts and feelings. If we're receptive, different kinds of human beings assist us with our spiritual growth. They mirror aspects of ourselves we hadn't consciously accepted and they encourage us to open our heart. Getting to know people and the world is like getting to know yourself.

Alexys, every task we choose to undertake is as meaningful and useful as we decide it is. The frequency we choose to do certain things can reflect that it is a valued priority.

Hi Liara:

I love your 8 Principles for living life. I am learning that by stopping for a moment and redirecting my thinking my attitude changes. Attidude is the key to happiness. Thanks!

Helen,
Glad you find these thoughts resonate in your life. Its incredible how human beings constantly gain insight into themselves, but more rarely realize they care growing and expanding all the time. Relish who and what you are by opening up at your own pace.

I would dare to conclude all 8 Principles to get you where you're going in brief.Just think. While we all are blogging, what is the best of all our blogs? We know the Wordpress and the blogspot - we know lots of other attractive features, but what;s the best? I think the answer is the obvious. That's what we are leaving on comments pages to the posts of each other. Our feedback is our life and that's a version of "the best." Why consider 8 ways? maybe 8 or just one - everything depends on how we live in the concrete/ physical.

[Liara Covert]

Tomas, I agree 8 ways or one way may seem arbitrary. At a given moment, each human being chooses to ground the physical in certain beliefs. That's how we frame references. Rather than focus on 'the best,' you might sense 'what works' or 'doesn't work' for you. If you focus attention on something, even read a post you give it energy and value it.
