Don’t wait until you’re in the battlefield before seeking inward for your spiritual evolution. So many wait until they hit a disaster before practicing mindfulness, faith and wisdom. Then they get struck with confusion and doubt. They’re puzzled as to what path to take because they’re not prepared and ready. Prepare yourself by being mindful. Prepare yourself by having faith. Prepare yourself by seeking wisdom which has all the answers and solutions you’re looking for. Then when the battle lies before you, you will have the tools to overcome and thrive. Danny G.
Inevitable Creation
Your self worthiness and confidence has a great effect on how you live your life. It defines your future, and your creation. Know you are worthy for expansion on every level and to achieve great things. It all starts with the image you project in your mind of yourself. Declare your worthiness, declare your confidence, and your inevitable creation. Danny G.
Action Mindfulness and Faith
Don’t be the one who only dreams of success and never takes action or risks. Be the deliberate creator you truly are, and allow the universe to handle the rest. Dreams are necessary for your growth and spiritual journey, but they also require your action, mindfulness and faith. Danny G.
All About Choices
It’s all about choices, choices with your thoughts, the words you speak and your behavior. There’s nothing off limits when you align your thoughts, words and behavior with the divine. When you act out of faith, doors will open for you that you thought were impossible at one point. You’re always creating yourself anew, and it all starts with your thoughts, words and behavior. Danny G.
Move Beyond It
Excellence is a mindset and choice, and so is mediocrity. If you want to achieve excellence move beyond your present reality of mediocrity. Move beyond the mentality of defeat, and replace it with a victor mentality. You are just a shell with the most powerful energy inside which is God, and your greatest power is to be in alignment with this source and power, and create with it. Danny G.
Faith Over Fear
Your mind is powerful, as you can choose fear or faith. Your fear plays out as the ugly scenario in your mind, and your faith plays out as the dream you hold in your heart. Be the deliberate creator you were born to be, and choose faith over fear. Danny G.
Aligned With the Divine
You create all sorts of arbitrary assumptions about God and the world. Your assumptions become your beliefs, expectations and experiences. Don’t allow these assumptions to rule your mind and soul. Only when you accept them as truth, they become your experience and life. Create your own assumptions, and ensure they are aligned with the divine, and then watch it play back as the new reality you created in your mind. Danny G.
Meditation and Mental Health
We’ve heard the saying where the mind goes, the body follows. There’s been numerous research on mental health causing more health issues and more complications in our personal lives and in our professional lives as well. Less tolerance for minor problems, greater stress, less productivity or less motivation.
When our thinking becomes contorted, it affects many areas in our lives. It’s hard to have clarity of thought when we have an overactive mind or when we have obsessive compulsive problems.
Anxiety can be described as an overactive mind. You may be focused on many concerns in your life or perhaps you’re obsessing over one particular concern. Depression is focusing on a number of different problems or it can be focusing and dreading one particular problem. Either way anxiety, depression and OCD is an overactive mind.
What is the opposite of an overactive mind? Stillness, tranquility, and inner peace. How do you achieve this state of mind? By doing the opposite of what you’re currently doing. You’re overthinking, so stop thinking so much, and give your brain a break by quieting your mind.
Go someplace quiet if possible, close your eyes, sit or lie down and try to think of nothing. Focus on your breath. If some thoughts come and they probably will in the beginning of a meditation practice, let them drift and don’t try to fix anything. Let them be, don’t fight it, and let them run their course. In time you’ll think of those thoughts and they won’t cause you great concern.
There’s a time for contemplation and trying to solve problems, but if you do this all day long without a break, your mind will become exhausted. That’s what causes mental health challenges.
Try to aim for at least 15 minutes of meditation, but even 10 minutes or 5 minutes can make a difference. Perhaps with time, you’ll work your way up to 15 minutes or 20 minutes. Reflect on this statement, why is sleep so beneficial? Because your mind is at rest, and your brain recuperates. Why is meditation so beneficial? Because your mind is at rest, and your brain recuperates. The only difference is that in meditation your mind is awake, however, your mind still benefits from this practice.
Try not to compare yourself to others because if you do, you risk not completing the task or quitting all together. I meditate 20 minutes every day, but if I thought because Deepak Chopra wakes up every morning at 4am and meditates for 2 hours, I should do the same, I probably wouldn’t stick to it nor would I want to.
Assess your needs and determine what’s best for you. You may feel 5 minutes or 10 minutes is plenty to release some resistance and get on with your day. Find what works for you. There should be no comparison, just focus on improving you.

Faithful Prayer
When you pray, remain faithful to your prayer. Speak about it, and act as if it were true. Answered prayers mean your mental attitude is aligned with your desire. Combine a faithful attitude with affirmations and action steps to your dream, and nothing can prevent its course. Danny G.
