Wisdom Over Impulse

Acting on impulse is acting on anger, pessimism or bitterness. It’s the opposite of contemplation and reflection. It’s quick to feed the emotions, but it’s often quick the wrong way, and ends up causing heartache and trouble. 

When you allow negative emotions to consume you, eventually they spill out in your behavior, words and impulses. Often they cause trouble later on or they create strife with your loved ones. 

Our impulses or wisdom can either have negative consequences or benefits. The choice is up to us to listen to our quick impulses or to seek wisdom in spite of difficulties. Impulses often lacks wisdom and wisdom always leads to a greater life and future. Wisdom can be described as God, for whenever we seek God, wisdom is there. 

Wisdom is the ideal pathway for your life. Wisdom creates health, success and happiness, for who knows better than wisdom, the ultimate divine and source. Seeking inward before believing misconceptions, is the path to enlightenment. 

The key is to practice self control and discipline, for wisdom requires self control and self reliance. Seeking wisdom above the ego, and choosing long term gain over short time satisfaction is key to a greater life and future. 

We can venture into all sorts of directions in our life, never getting anywhere, never creating success or contributing to the world. That can be described as making quick judgments and  acting on impulses. 

Everyone experiences failures or setbacks, however, if we combine wisdom with failure, we learn from our mistakes and move forward towards our dreams and desires. Often when we begin our journey, we act on impulse, and we quickly feed our ego. 

Over time and often with age, we acquire wisdom because life causes us to contemplate and seek further insight. We can either move with this insight or we can wander in the desert our whole life. 

Everyone wanders from time to time, however, don’t let that become your permanent home. Learn, remember and choose the path to enlightenment.

Releasing the Ego

The more we release our ego, the more we become in alignment with ourselves, our creator and source. As we peel alway the layers of our ego, our aspirations and dreams spring forth for their calling. Stop suppressing them, release it and embrace the new. Danny G.

Release the Misconceptions

Release the contradictions and misconceptions that surround your outer world. For when you attach to the misconceptions, you cannot allow and embrace the new. Your outer world can attack your inner world if you allow it to. Seek your inner world, your inner truth and alignment with the divine, and your outer world will reflect your inner world. Danny G.

Recovering from OCD

OCD or obsessive compulsive disorder can be described as an overactive mind. Overactive mind can be exhausting at times, especially when your thoughts cannot seem to stop. Your mind needs a break. 

It’s fine to want to fix something and improve a condition or situation. However, when you become obsessed and your mind is always fighting for the answer, over time, it takes a toll on your mental health. 

What is the opposite of an overactive mind? Stillness, tranquility and quieting the mind. Many practices incorporate stillness such as meditation, affirmations or visualization. Sometimes you may just need more solitude to bring about clarity of thought. 

You cannot fix or figure out everything right away, and you must be at peace with it regardless. Having inner peace means knowing with time, the answer or solution will come, when you allow faith to be your friend. 

Faith is trusting the universe, trusting yourself, and knowing this universal source is for you, not against you. When you become obsessed with your fears or you have beliefs that are consistently troubling you, know life has many seasons, and some seasons require time to bring relief, clarity and healing. 

You must learn to manage your thoughts so they don’t consume you, because when you can’t manage them, they become a disorder. Distract that obsessive thought by thinking of something positive and productive. Speak affirmations about your desired outcome until the obsessive thought dissipates. When you feel the impulse to act on something you know is unwise, refocus your thoughts on wisdom, love and faith. For whatever you consistently focus on becomes your inner dialogue, and your inner dialogue becomes you and your behavior. 

Speak affirmations about your desired outcome until there is no space left in your mind for your obsessive thoughts. Keep on interrupting the obsessive thought until you’re focused on your new desire and outcome. 

With practice, persistence and faith, you’ll gain mastery over your mind, and when you achieve this state, self control and discipline becomes your friend, and your ultimate destination.

A Lifetime

Love is joy, gratitude and peace. When you feel these emotions, you know you found love and enlightenment. Even though the trials, temptations and adversities comes knocking at your door, you still feel compassion, happiness and alignment. Your love doesn’t die, but only grows stronger in the end. Though the mist may appear from time to time, you remember its origin, journey and that you’re in it for a lifetime. Danny G.

The Phoenix You’re Born To Be

Your opinion of yourself is based on past recollection. It’s based on assumptions from the past. Practice mindfulness and know you are creating the future in the moment. Every time your mind wonders back on lack or past trauma, remember the deliberate creator you are, and the Phoenix you’re born to be. Danny G.

The Path Of Wisdom

Wisdom doesn’t force things into being. Wisdom allows the divine to unfold seasons in its timing. It doesn’t cling to what’s no longer working. It clings to the new vision of itself. Wisdom contemplates, reflects and seeks God’s will above all things, because wisdom knows God’s will is the ultimate path and ultimate best. Danny G.

Managing Your Mental Health

What are mental health challenges? We’re all emotional beings who have feelings. Mental illness is not managing your emotions or never confronting them until they spiral out of control. Somebody once told me that mental illness is caused merely by conditions, environment and circumstances. I’m not going to argue with that statement by saying it has no impact on our health. However, saying our condition is merely a chemical imbalance or a poor upbringing is saying the illness and environment is controlling us. With this mindset we are powerless and weak. Do you want to be tossed and turned by the conditions in your life, or do you want to say I’m in control, I define myself and I determine my life and future? 

When we don’t manage our finances, we become broke and in debt. Same applies when we leave our troublesome thoughts on the back burner until disaster hits. Eventually one of the links break. 

Managing your mental health means practicing self care. Practicing self care means quieting your mind, changing your inner dialogue and finding purpose in your life. Quieting the mind can be done through meditation, a walk in nature or yoga. 

Changing your inner dialogue is listening to your thoughts, understanding their depth and reason for being. It’s easier to change your thoughts when you can identify them. It’s refocusing your thoughts into what you wish to create. It’s focusing on productivity and optimism rather than the negative dialogue.

Finding purpose in your life is following your passion, your zest for life and gifting. It’s following your inspiration and inner guidance. When we have purpose in our life, and we’re of service to others, we feel greater satisfaction. 

Greater satisfaction, finding purpose and following your intuition all contributes to your overall mental health and happiness. And happiness is key to greater health.
