It’s the thoughts, stupid!
Yes, can you believe it? It’s the thoughts, it was like that all along. After all these years thinking the solution to our problems laid in a foggy castle of a far away and foreign reign with the illusion that somehow, in a magic pastel color way one day is going to materialize in front of our eyes and fix everything… too much of misinterpreted fairy tale mentality over too many years. Now we have to discern. Who would have thought that the magic wand to the miracle of change is in those millions of unimportant and irrelevant thoughts marching in our head daily and persistently.
I just can’t get enough of it. The idea that the power I always longed for was there, inside, in my thoughts, within reach, totally fascinates me. Believe me, I searched. I did, long and hard. I am flabbergasted with the reality that I actually have a magic wand in my hands. Not afar… Right here, inside. Go figure, that level of simplicity . I am so grateful to me, for allowing myself to see it. Every day. The alternative would have been more of the same and we all know how that feels.
In the beginning, it was difficult. Hard work, but just because you have to pay more attention, and attention towards the inside is something you are not accustomed to. That’s the hard work. To put the effort into getting accustomed to something. It’s not too bad. The rewards are effortlessly dancing the power of your life without distractions or interruptions. You redirected the attention to the center. From the center there is a better view of everything.
Those thoughts that seem harmless. However, they are preventing you to be you…and is so many of them. Millions. Dr Stanley Haleakala Hew Len, the Hoopono master, co-author with Joe Vitale of “Zero Limits” says there are about 15.000.000. An imaginary giant “white out” would go a long way. You just picture it in your head and click to any disposable thought. Imagine, 15.000.000! It’s too long the list of bad habits that have to be erased from our database. It will take some effort. In a way is like unlearning all the learned. To see again with the freshness of your innocent child. Your essence. You might start doing it, without delay. This is the kind of thing you don’t postpone.
Those thoughts that trespassed the fences of your free will, installing themselves in your head. The lamenting choir of the oracle, weaving a patched up reality that does not pertain to you. That’s the worst part, they are not even your own thoughts. They made their way through, when you were little or vulnerable, you couldn’t help it. Then, they grew roots. You got used to them. Attached to the misconceived concept of comfort. The comfort of the known. You see through their eyes a lot of the times. The thing is, your life ought to be seen only through your own eyes.
You keep having doubts or indecision ? Assert your right to fail.
Imagine that you call a mandatory meeting.
Yes, invite all those people having a conversation inside your head. They show up in the form of one of your parents or both, your siblings, your friends, one neighbor, your grandmother your spouse or the 3rd grade teacher. All those voices whose volume is louder than yours. Whatever voice that’s influencing your behavior, instead of the voice of your soul.
Those familiar voices. The baby blanket that we have outgrown. A part of you wants to hold on to them… you have been doing it for years… The uncertainty of the unknown makes you nervous. Nevertheless, they only are memories from the past, trying to assert themselves in the present. They belong with a photo album. With their whisper of wisdom from their experience. Not a vital voice in the stage of your life today.
Invite them to sit around a round table and tell them how grateful your are for them. How you appreciate their existence in your life. And yes, you love them. Or you don’t. Or you don’t know…But for the gods sake this is your life and you need to find your own ways. Tell them that you as-well as they came to this world with a sacred purpose and it’s your duty to decide what path you take to find it. You will take charge of your duty. You will take their advise when necessary. Many times they are right, many times they are wrong. It’s irrelevant. You are willing to assert your right to fail, read the perfection of your errors with them and discern, together. Like the lovely old song, one of my favorites…”the famous man that had to fall to rise again and picks himself up, dust himself off and starts all over again.” He picks himself up.
Get them all to join forces on your cause and support you. Work together. There is always light in the ashes of your errors. It’s up to you to look hard and you need more eyes. They will help look, and understand . Create unity. Team.
Take full responsibility every step.
Under your leadership they will become the mastermind group dedicated to your growth.
Get into the habit of guarding those thoughts.
White out the irrelevant ones. On regular basis.
With the others you follow up like a hawk.
They will adjust with a sense of relief. Before you know, they will be a team on automatic pilot, helping you find the path of your purpose. Your own cheer leaders. Your own support group. Like any project with a good foundation. A healthy mastermind group in your head to project to the outside world. And then you can change the world. You started with you. It’s just a doable strategy.
Don’t forget the phrase, it’s the thoughts, stupid! nothing else. It will be a reminder.In the meantime, share the experience and tell the stories. Is helpful, very helpful.
