Everything Else Follows

If you want to create art, seek first to develop the mind, and in doing so, your gifts shine through. For you can practice all day and work really hard, and in doing so, it creates a labor of work. But if you seek the mind first, everything else follows. Danny G. 

Quote for Today

Just as the body feels aches and pains after a workout, and then rejuvenates, so too does the soul feels aches and pain and rejuvenates. Danny G. 

Seek Wisdom and Apply It

Knowledge without action leads to nowhere. Knowledge with action, wisdom and persistence will yield your every desire. You can gather all the knowledge in the world, and still lack, or you can gather knowledge, seek wisdom and apply it. Danny G. 

Master Your World

Master your world, don’t allow the world to master you. For if you let it, this world could eat you up inside, but if you seek joy, optimism and faith, your lenses change. If you seek pessimism and bitterness, you’re allowing the world to master you. Seek to master the mind, and the world you see becomes brighter every day. Danny G. 

At Peace With the Past

Don’t resist your illusionary demons. Make peace with them, accept them, and love them for what they are, polarity and contrast. Whatever you resist persists. Fear it and you enlarge it, or dread it and you perpetuate it. Make peace with it, and they don’t have a way with you. Accept and ignore them while carving the path before you. Leave them out of your frequency, and know the deliberate creator you are, bound to create and manifest. Danny G. 

A Guidance System

There are those people who drink themselves sick, while others seek inward for the answers. Some people bury their emotions while others fully embrace them for what they are, a guidance system to their destination and dream. Danny G. 

Faced the Fears

In the middle of a dark cold night, I saw a dark colored wolf standing in front of me from a distance away. The wolf just stared at me on four paws standing still. I smiled at it and went on my way. That was the day, the fear and illusion dissipated and vanished. Danny G. 

Finding Your Ecstasy

Find your own ecstasy, joy and enthusiasm. These emotions are all inborn within you. Don’t seek merely the chemical to get a high, seek your inner resources and create your high. Self reliance is knowing you have the power within you. Empower yourself to be the phoenix you’re born to be. Danny G. 

Your Optimal Best

When you care for your body, you increase productivity, strength and endurance. Caring for your body means developing a healthy lifestyle. Keeping a healthy lifestyle means being conscientious about our diet, exercise and sleep. It means eliminating stress by quieting the mind, relaxation and meditation. 

Never taking a break leads to exhaustion and burnout over time. You’ll be doing yourself a favor when you care for your body. Overworking can lead to short term gain in the form of bonuses and financial gain, but over time it creates stress for your mind and body. It wears you out. It’s all about balance. 

Keep a time for relaxation or meditation. All it takes is a few minutes per day. Ten minutes to twenty minutes over the course of years has been proven to change your physiology and mental health. 

Meditation lowers pulse, so we can see this as a sort of beta blocker or antidepressant minus the side effects. Stress increases your pulse, and fast palpitations over time causes anxiety and in some cases heart issues. Meditation lowers blood pressure, and helps with insomnia issues. Meditation over time has been proven to lengthen telomeres which reverses your biological age and increases longevity. 

Many people say they cannot meditate because they cannot sit still, because anxiety surfaces when they do. What is the problem, meditation or their thoughts? A healthy body and mind increases productivity, reduces sick days and improves optimism. Doesn’t a healthy body and mind feel much better? 

Try having fast palpitations all day and have endurance. You can maintain it for a while but eventually it wears you out. Changing your inner dialogue is essential to greater health. Try being pessimistic and bitter the whole day and you’ll soon realize by the end of your day, you’re drained. Try optimism, faith, gratitude, appreciation and forgiveness, and it elevates your mood. Do it long enough and this will improve your productivity, strength and endurance. Over time it changes mental thought patterns. 

Mental health is one of the leading causes for disability. When you have a healthy mind, it’s easier to do those things that will create a healthy body for you. We’ve all heard the saying, a healthy mind has the potential to create a healthy body. Do yourself a favor and seek personal care, and you’ll find not only your mind will benefit from it, but your body as well.
