Do you see clearly now?

“Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall at last unveil.” – John Ruskin

Last week we talked about visualization. We will continue with that subject this week. I hope that you realize the power of visualization and that you have tried it.

I cannot stress how effective a program of meditation and visualization can be. There are a couple of other tools that will make it even more powerful. I will talk about those next week.

The bible says, “In the beginning there was the word.” Of course there were no words then, so what was the “word.” I believe it was a picture in the mind of God. Everything begins in the mind. From that picture we have the physical world.

Our own individual world begins as a picture in our mind. The mind needs to be trained to see the pictures that are a positive influence in our lives. The mind without training will create chaos in our lives. The truth of this is all around you.

It is your choice whether you are a part of that chaos or you take the road less traveled. The less traveled road leads to peace, abundance, and joy. Which would you prefer? The choice is yours.

The reason that most people live in chaos is that they are not willing to put forth the effort it takes to train their mind enough to control their thoughts. Yes, it does take effort, but the rewards far out weight the effort.

It is like exercise. In the beginning it is hard to stay focused and workout regularly. But if you keep at it you begin to look forward to the exercise because you know how good it feels afterward.

It is the same with visualization. At first it may be a struggle to stay focused and your mind wanders all over the place. But, if you are persistent soon you begin to enjoy your time visualizing. You become a part of the pictures and enjoy the experience.

Once you are at the point where you are feeling good about your visualizations is the time that they can become reality. You only have to get out of your own way and allow the Universe to do the work of bringing that which you desire to you.

The part about getting out of your own way is very difficult for many because of self image. Many believe they are not worthy of having that which they desire. Many feel some quilt because of something in their past and therefore feel that they don’t deserve the good life. These feeling can be so deeply buried that the person is not aware that they exist. These can be people who meditate and visualize faithfully then wonder why it is not working for them.

TODAY’S TIP: Take some time to be with yourself and search deeply for those hidden thoughts and feelings that are keeping you from creating the world you dream of.

What do you think of yourself?
