Imagine
what would happen in the world if millions of people began to focus on what is
right instead of what is wrong? You can be one of those millions today. Trust
that this makes a difference. Your light and focus does matter. It will change
your life, and your world.
To be sure, there is a need to know what needs
correcting, but the tendency in recent times is to focus on problems with tunnel
vision. You are seeing this tendency playing out in the political arena, in
business, and in personal relationships.
Narrow mindedness can be found
within people on every continent. In a typical scenario, a person rigidly holds
on to his or her opinion, insisting that it is the only answer. There is not
room for compromise. There is not room to see that other ideas may also be
valid.
Moving Into Expanded Thinking
A narrow point of view
will keep your world small and limited. This is the opposite of what you want.
Your new-paradigm Earth cannot fully manifest until people learn to move from
narrow-minded thinking to expansive thinking. When you are thinking in an
expansive way, you have openness to other points of view.
When you have
an open mind, you are not threatened by the ideas of others. You welcome them.
You have a choice about whether to adopt new ideas, in part or in full. You can
consider all points of view with your intuitively guided reason and then make
your own choice.
To be most effective in your focusing on ideas, remember
balance. When your focus is in balance, you avoid the chaos of trying to wrap
your mind around too many ideas at once.
Focusing with Enlightened
Consciousness
A Divine Changemaker learns to bring an enlightened
consciousness into focusing on issues. As you focus in on your life, realize
that you cannot effectively focus on everything at one time. As you awaken, you
discover that putting the spotlight on everything at once distorts your ability
to discern truth. You could miss details, overreact, and be unable to
distinguish fact from fiction.
Making your optimal choice is easier when
you are not stressed by over thinking. If you become too stressed, your mind can
become clouded, and your emotions can negatively influence what you do
next.
Remember that even when you choose nothing and take no action, your
choice to do so is still a choice. There is energy in everything you do, feel,
or think. Make your choices wisely. Your power comes from being present and
aware of your choices, and if necessary, altering them for your highest good.
Likewise, you access more potency when you stop worrying about past and future
choices. The power to change your life comes from today's
choices.
Tips for Balance
The following are some
suggestions for staying in balance during these chaotic times. Review this list
when you begin to feel on overload, when you realize that you have multiple
decisions to make, and when you are either anxious or depressed.
1. Step
back from thinking-and-doing mode and tune into your heart. Your heart will help
guide you to the next steps. Sometimes that next step is to be still. In the
stillness, you can better hear your inner wisdom, and you can be refueled for
greater creativity.
2. If you are seeing troubles at every turn, remember
that it is the energy of goodness that fuels creation. At a core level, the
quality of goodness is within you, and it is within everyone you meet. Focus on
wishing others goodness - without agenda or condition - and you generate a
positive vibration. It is easier to wish goodness like this for those you love.
The path of the Divine Changemaker is to wish goodness for all, including
strangers and those who oppose you. Becoming skilled at this is a part of your
path. Set your intent to see the goodness in the world, and in other
people.
3. When you are facing a problem, consider talking about it less.
Give the dilemma less energy by focusing on it less. This means reducing the
amount of time you think about it, talk about it, and worry about it. Set your
intention to give your energy to positive changes and to noticing things to be
grateful for.
4. Even in your darkest moments, you can cultivate a
feeling of gratitude. When you do this, you raise your frequency. It is like an
energy tonic. When you are feeling expansive from expressing gratitude, your
naturally generate positivity. A more positive point of view can open the door
to new possibilities and innovative solutions for your life.
5. Some days
when life has become complex and stressful, it may be challenging to access your
center. It may be difficult to appreciate your circumstances, or to feel a real
connection with the world. In those moments, think of something bigger than you
that inspires you-something that reminds you of the interconnectedness of all
life. Think of something that's more beautiful than what you are seeing in your
life. Examples include a double rainbow, a majestic redwood tree, and the sun
setting on a sparkling blue ocean.
6. Let go of trying to fit in or have
what others have. When you go into nature, the flower or tree that catches your
eye is not a carbon copy of others. It stands out because of its uniqueness.
There is something different about how it catches the light, its color, or its
overall feel. Know that you are like the flower or tree. It's okay to be
different. You don't need to look like the others, or be like them either. You
shine most brightly when you are genuine and not pretending to be like the
crowd.
7. Do you want to have more joy in your life? Consider lightening
up as you approach your work, your relationships, and yourself. When you take
life too seriously, you become too attached to outcomes and are less able to
accept what is. A too-serious approach will kill your joy because you will be
trying too hard. Lighten up today, then, and discover the joy that's naturally
there.
8. When you want to feel more peace, think of a beautiful nature
scene with water or go there if you can. Imagine the calm, life-giving water.
Invite into your energy field the element of water. Intend that this opens you
to a flow of goodness and love. This energy flow is boundless. You have plenty
for yourself, and plenty to give to others. Give some away! You then expand the
flow of goodness and love in the world.
As you continue the journey of
discovering your divine nature, we surround you with our love and blessings. We
are The Council of 12.
