Sparks of InsightYou are always being Divinely Guided. Remember when you have a niggling thought that wouldn’t go away until you acted on it, and it turned out to be accurate? Divine Guidance is called the “still, small voice,” and you have to tune your mind to it. It will come to you in nudges, quiet thoughts, intuitions that seem to be in opposition to what you consciously think. You can practice listening by asking it which route you should take to work, who you should call that day, or even what you should wear. If the message is positive and productive, then act on it. By doing so, you’re encouraging it to speak a little louder.

Sparks of Insight“Peace, serenity and tranquility are the truth of my being. I now allow it to flow through me from my core. No matter what is going on in my life, I center myself and stay calm.”

Tension and anxiety is a protective response to what is happening or has happened in your life. But that reaction isn’t a permanent part of you, even though it may feel it is. Peace is at your center, and you can touch it when you quiet your mind and body. When you’re able to draw upon that serenity at will, you’ll discover that the events of your life simply come and go and you don’t have to let them affect you.

Sparks of InsightThere are times when you’re making changes that it seems like everything is conspiring to block you. Believe it or not, this is a signal that you’re actually making progress. When you begin to transform, you move in the opposite direction than you’ve been taking. Attachment to the old path (from your subconscious) is trying to drag you back. If you simply keep going in your new direction, the obstacles will begin to fade away. How long it takes depends on how strong the old path was. But don’t give up hope, just put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward.

Sparks of Insight“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” – Zig Ziglar

The same is true of positive thinking, meditation, affirmations, etc. Saying an affirmation once and expecting it to take effect immediately and permanently is as unrealistic as expecting washing your hands once will keep them clean forever. You have to incorporate these practices into your daily life for them to make any lasting impact.

Sparks of InsightAre you distracting yourself from your goal? This could be a way to make sure you never achieve it, due to some old thought pattern or fear. The distraction could be in the form of chores, chaos in your home or business life, trying to appease others by putting your goals on hold, fulfilling others’ expectations and much more. In a way, you’re making sure you can’t accomplish your goal because you may not feel it’s more important than what others want, or that you’re afraid it may not live up to your hopes. No matter what, you deserve to stand up for what you want. Take one step or action every day in the direction of your goal. This will help to convince you and your subconscious that your desire is right and appropriate.

Sparks of Insight“I now cast out of my mind any thought of fear or unworthiness. My mind is now fixed on the Indwelling Spirit, which is God. The Universe recognizes my worthiness and I am being guided and protected in every situation.”

Sometimes you need to recognize the negative to be able to release it, turn to the positive and let it in. As you deliberately turn to recognize that the Universal Spirit is within you, you open up to receive Its good. That includes understanding that you are worthy of all the good you can accept.

Sparks of InsightI remember seeing a television show where a working wife and mother spent all weekend trying to keep her house as clean and perfect as her mother did. She was killing herself and alienating her family by her unrealistic expectations. There was no time for fun in her life. She was counseled to lower her standards so that she and her family could enjoy themselves. So what if her refrigerator wasn’t clean enough for an inspection? Her family needed some together time in a way that created happy memories. Where might you be holding yourself to unreasonable expectations, and how can you lower them so that you can have a life? Chores will always be there, but today won’t be.

Sparks of Insight“What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

As they say, “Actions speak louder than words.” A person can say one thing and do the opposite, leaving us in confusion. This can be the case whether their actions are positive or destructive. When that happens, remember that they are acting on what they believe in their heart.

Sparks of InsightMany people who have seen “The Secret” or have been learning about the Law of Attraction think that all they have to do is to focus on what they want and it will drop into their laps. Sometimes it does just that, but those times are rare, and generally preceded by a lot of work in that direction. Have you heard about someone, writer, actor, musician, becoming an “overnight sensation” after twenty years of being in the business? For the Law of Attraction to really work for you, you need to take actions in accordance with your desire. This convinces your subconscious that you truly mean business and are ready for that change in your life.

Sparks of Insight“My good is always available to me, no matter how difficult my outward experience might be. I now open my mind to perfect order, right action, harmony, abundance and joy. I realize that all this and more is mine by Divine Right.”

Even when you’re having the greatest challenge, there is a way through it. Instead of resisting it, switch your attention to what is right in your world. The Universe must respond to your feeling that good is happening in your life.
