Response Or Reaction

Everything is either a response or a reaction. Reaction acts on impulse. Reactions doesn’t contemplate and reflect. Response is predicated by allowing wisdom and inspiration to guide you. Response allows time to seek inward for the solution or answer. The more you seek inward, the more you respond. Danny G. 

Release the Past

Contemplate the greater life you’ll have when you break free from the boundaries. Reflect on the happiness and peace that follows when you let go. Envision your future, not the past. Listen to your thoughts and what they’re telling you. Look ahead and release the past. Danny G. 

The Greater You

You can allow a narrow view or you can allow self awareness and personal transformation. Narrow view sees reality as is. It doesn’t contemplate. It doesn’t reflect. Self awareness sees the opportunity within the challenge. It seeks faith and optimism which lead to inspiration and motivation. Self awareness leads to personal transformation, because when you seek greater awareness, you grow, you expand and you become the greater you. Danny G. 

Contemplate the Vision

Contemplate the vision you hold in your mind. Is it of value to yourself and others? Is it who you truly are and what you’re capable of? You can always change your intentions and motives. You can always shift your attention, and by doing so, you’re rewriting the script. Danny G. 

You Summoned the Answers

You summoned the answers through contemplation and reflection. You summoned it through your desires and yearning. You summoned through the growth seeking being you are. Don’t suppress it, and allow the Phoenix to rise from within you. Danny G. 

Pause Reflect and Contemplate

Sit with your pain. Listen to what it’s telling you. Identify its root cause and reason for being. Pause, reflect and contemplate. From within lies a world of insights and wisdom. Accept you’re a work in progress, and appreciate every step forward you take. This is the journey of healing inside out. Danny G. 

Contemplation

Contemplate your negative habits. Reflect on which habits are conducive to your health and happiness, and which habits are conducive to greater strife and lack. Let go of negative attachments, and embraced the new. Danny G. 

Being Productive With Your Time

Our mind and body are constantly changing and evolving. Is your body the same as it was 5 years ago or 10 years ago? The question should be, how do we change our mind and body for our greatest good, happiness and success. 

The only control we have is through thoughts, words and actions. Enough thoughts creates feelings and emotions. Enough words creates feelings and emotions. Behavior is enough thinking or speaking that results in action. 

You can think yourself into exhaustion if you dwell on lack of energy or lack of enthusiasm. Or you can think of yourself as strong if you dwell on the infinite and limitless source that lives inside you. You can think yourself into sickness if you only dwell on your symptoms and pain. Or you can think yourself into health if you focus on faith, wisdom and love. 

When you focus on faith, how much energy is left on fear? When you focus all your attention on faith, how much energy is left on feelings of lack? When you focus on wisdom, inspiration and enlightenment, are you more likely to make wise choices or poor choices? 

Whatever you entertain in your mind, you project into your body and your every day choices. When you reflect on love, how much space is there for anger, bitterness and pessimism? It all depends on how much energy you focus and act on positive emotions rather than negative emotions. 

I use these 3 emotions of faith, wisdom and love because they are so important to greater health, joy and success. Faith is the opposite of fear. It’s also the opposite of lack. It’s the opposite of pessimism. Wisdom is what allows us to make wise choices and put our faith into action. Love is what God is, and when we dwell on love rather than anger, bitterness and pessimism, we’re in alignment with the divine. Self love and loving others is God in action. 

Symptoms only control us to the degree we allow them to. Failure only controls us to the degree we allow it to. It’s our reaction that defines us and the life that unfolds. If we focus all our mental energy on our symptoms and pain, we give the symptoms greater power. If we focus all our energy on failure, little energy is left for learning, growing and transformation. 

You only have so much energy until you need to rest and rejuvenate your body. Use that time wisely, and you’ll have greater health, joy and success. 

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.
