Be Afraid of Nothing, Act as if You Have Wings

“The miracle isn’t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.” ~ John Bingham

Be Afraid of Nothing, Act as if You Have Wings
written by Tess Marshall

It takes courage to overcome your fear and do great things.

Doing great things don’t always mean doing big things. Sharing your opinion, meeting somebody new, or driving to an unfamiliar city are relatively small steps that take courage. And they’re all great things.

If you want to overcome fear, begin with small steps.

If your habit is to talk a lot, begin to listen more. If you mostly eat the same foods, try something new and unusual.

What I Want for Christmas Is

“A Christmas wish is sent to you that all your dreams will come true.”

I spotted a dream board with the heading “All I want for Christmas is…” at Mcdonalds last week. My daughter and I were shopping when we decided to take a short break at the fast food outlet. Right at one end of the counter was the huge dream board.

Seeing the dream board reminds me about why I love Christmas.

To me, Christmas is synonymous with abundance for it often implies wishes, magic and miracles. We usually draw up lists, in the hope that “Santa” would be able to fulfill them. Not just for ourselves. Many of us also take the opportunity to offer gift donations, remembering those who are destitute and in need.

Indeed, there is the joy of sharing and the delight of receiving presents. Most importantly, it means attracting our heart’s desires and helping others achieve theirs. I guess it is no coincidence why I am so connected to the whole message about abundance. My birthday happens to fall on Christmas Eve!

So, what do I WANT for Christmas?

How to Find the Nirvana of Life Balance

Do you find it hard to achieve life balance?

Balance can be a challenging thing to attain if your work schedule is hectic and demanding.

“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.” Thomas Merton

Perhaps, you have been striving hard for the money; climbing up the corporate ladder or running your business. You could also be a mompreneur working hard to balance babies and business at the same time.

And so, up till now, there could have been aspects of your life that you have ignored or set aside.

How to Overcome Feelings of Financial Insecurity in an Uncertain World

“But you cannot understand life and its mysteries as long as you try to grasp it. Indeed, you cannot grasp it, just as you cannot walk off with a river in a bucket. If you try to capture running water in a bucket, it is clear that you do not understand it and that you will always be disappointed, for in the bucket the water does not run. To ‘have’ running water you must let go of it and let it run.” Alan Wilson Watts, Wisdom of Insecurity

Are you finding it hard to combat the feelings of insecurity in a world that does not appear to be safe, stable and supportive?

If so, you could be feeling a lack of control. You perceive that there are many uncertain external factors that can potentially disrupt your well-being. It has been one of the main reasons why you are in a heightened state of stress.

You are not alone if you are feeling this way. Insecurity afflicts even famous personalities like politicians, movie stars or models. As American actor, Christian Slater, once said, “I thought I’d get over being insecure if I became famous, but it hasn’t happened. It just gets worse, really. You get more and more on edge, more nervous. These are all the things I’m dealing with. You think if you get famous, fear will go away and problems will go away. But they don’t.”

In particular, as the cost of living rises, you can experience a lot of worry in the area of finance. For instance, you could have the following financial fears: that you will run out of money, cannot keep up with the rising cost of living, unable to service your loan, cannot put food on the table, do not have enough for retirement, do not have enough to set up a fund for emergencies and so on.

How to Practice the Art of Dreaming to Attract Abundance

“All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination. Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.” Napoleon Hill

It can be hard to believe yourself as a powerful creative being, with the ability to change your current reality simply by directing your thoughts. I have had tremendous difficulty with this myself as well, especially in the beginning when I started trying to practice deliberate thinking. Most of us invariably find ourselves slipping back into a world of victimhood. Any notion about being powerful co-creators gets instantly thrown out of the window when we are faced with stress.

Yet, the Law of Deliberate Creation is a law. In addition, there is already scientific evidence to support how our reality is influenced by what we believe in. Quantum physics has shown that just by the act of observation, a person can alter reality.

How Decisive Action Overcomes Paralysis in a Stuck Situation

“Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something new but cannot let go of the old – old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don’t. In both cases we have to DO something.” Rush Limbaugh

I have noticed that a lot of us make decisions from where we currently are – which happens to be the “stuck” position. In which case, we are making the decision from a place of fear. So we end up saying “no” or procrastinating on the one decision that can help us unstuck ourselves.

Even more so when it comes to a decision on investing in inner or healing work. We are reluctant to commit to working internally. We feel paralysed with fear. Even though we realise that it could be helpful, we are averse to the idea of bringing our repressed emotions into the open. Not surprisingly, we usually view spending in any form of inner healing/transformation as unnecessary expense.

Unfortunately, this way of thinking qualifies as poverty consciousness. If we are feeling the lack, we will continue to stay in limitation because we are not willing to take the action that can potentially bring us to the next level of growth. Paralysis imprisons and prevents us from being great!

10 Empowering Thoughts To Prosperity Consciousness

“Prosperity is a way of living and thinking, and not just money or things. Poverty is a way of living and thinking, and not just a lack of money or things.” Eric Butterworth

I would like to share my treasure trove of 10 empowering thoughts to Prosperity Consciousness:

1. I am the co-creator of my reality. By taking ownership, I release blame of anyone else or the situation at hand. Instead, I consciously choose to co-create with the universe by focusing my thoughts in the direction of my dreams.

2. My net worth is influenced by my self-worth. I understand that the greater self-worth and esteem I have, the greater will be my net worth. Hence, I dedicate time to doing inner work to address any issues in low self-worth.

Money Is Not a Dirty Word

Money is not a dirty word.

Yet, many people make it out to be.

They avoid talking about it at all cost. They squirm whenever they have to ask for money in exchange for their service or product. They conclude that the desire for money is a sin, partly from watching way too many Hollywood movies about how the pursuit for money corrupts the mind. Then, there are the religious ones take comfort in being spiritual and poor.

“Not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, does the enlightened man dislike to wade into its waters.” Friedrich Nietzsche

Well, let’s put things in perspective.

Money is in the form of cash and coins. It is a convenient form of exchange. It helps to make trade efficient.
