Everything is Energy and Connected

The universe is made of energy. Everything in the universe is part of The Great Spirit, no matter if it’s a rock, a plant, a fish, a human being. This incredible energy flows between everything, us and within us all. We also have no limits to our energy fields and we don’t end with our skin. This universal energy can be directed consciously; by the way we can see and feel it.

No Creature is Superior to Another

There is no being or creature any better or greater than another. We are all the same. We are all on different paths and have different levels of awareness, but that doesn’t make any one of us better than another. Humans don’t have the right to dominate nature, the animals and the plants. They are part of our environment, and co-inhabitants of this planet. There is no difference between us, but different patterns of this universal energy that make things seem to be different.

The world is what you think it is

The way we see the world is a mere reflection of our own beliefs. For instance, in 1400’s, everyone in Europe believed the world was flat. If we believe we are in a hurry, then everyone else will seem to be going slow. We can create virtually anything we desire by using our belief system and positive thinking. We should believe in our abilities and ourselves, and we will succeed. By combining the power of belief with that of visualization we can bring anything we want into reality.

Power of Intuition

There has always been inside of us, a voice that speaks and guides us. It is our intuition. We can choose to ignore it or to listen to it. Once we are in alignment with our intuition and start listening to it, we will be guided and will discover that we can achieve more than we have ever thought possible. We will begin to realize that the Great Spirit works through us - often in mysterious ways, but always to our benefit in the long run.

Our Highest Purpose

Everything that happens to us is for a reason and is part of the greater good. We must learn to perceive things and events in our lives as more than just as ordinary occurrences seen from the common human perspective. We must try to understand them from a higher perspective – that of the Great Spirit and become perceptive at what benefits will come out from these events.

There are No Ordinary Moments

The past exists only in our memory. The future is a reflection of our expectation. The only time that really matters is today. To live in the present means that the conscious mind is quiet and your focus is completely shifted on what you are doing, not what you are going to be doing next week, or what you are going to have for dinner.

Anything is Possible

We live in an infinite universe and the only limits we have are those we create in our own minds, with our limited beliefs and fears. To this end, we must not let ourselves being put in a cubbyhole and labeled by others. If someone will perceive a dog as being vicious, then the animal is more likely to become dangerous and aggressive. We should not place our expectations upon others, but let them be themselves, just as we should be ourselves.

Positivity Rules

Negative thoughts and perceptions attract more negative events and consume our energy. Positive thoughts attract positive people, events and circumstances and increase our energy levels. To this end, we should examine our thoughts and the events that occur in our lives in a positive light, seeing negative thoughts for what they are and eliminating them.

Intent is Action

You can have the intention to do anything, and your intent is very important. However, unless your intent is followed by consistent action, the intent has no power. For instance, I may intend to loose some weight, but spend all my time in front of the TV eating pizza and drinking soda. I have stated my intention, but my actions do not support or create the intention. Therefore, if you intend something, do it, don’t just talk about it. Action turns knowledge into wisdom.

Freedom of Choice

We all have free will, and can choose to do anything we want in life. There is no situation where we do not have choices. At times, it may seem that we don’t, but there are always options, if we have the courage and strength to take them. We just have to be responsible towards our actions and have the courage of conviction to make our decisions.

Taking Responsibility

Our actions cause a reaction – it’s one of the laws of the universe. We have to be aware of our actions and take responsibility for our actions and for the consequences they might bring. We must accept that no one else will live for us, and that at times our actions will determine for others, or for ourselves, painful reactions. Keep in mind though, that discomfort is one way of helping us grow as individuals and learning how to improve the quality of our actions.

Failure is Good

Success often doesn’t come easy and does require hard work and effort from our part. You will find that most people experiencing ‘overnight successes’ have been working hard for their success for many years. Failure is not something to be scared or worried about, because we can never actually fail! Everything we do, no matter whether we see it as a success or failure is an important lesson for us to learn.

The Ongoing Journey

Our journey of exploration the wonderful things life has to offer never stops. The final destination is not the reward or the goal, but the journey to the destination is the goal itself. Consider that the journey towards any destination begins with a first step, and then comes the second and the third, and as many as needed until you reach your destination.

Emotional Guidance System

Emotions appear and fade easily. They are a constant flow all the time, often without us even realizing. Many of us don’t even express our emotions because we feel we have to “Be macho” or “Be responsible” or “Be cool”. When we feel the negative emotions, we can feel our bodies in permanent tension and emergency. When you feel an emotion - express yourself! If you are happy - smile and laugh, if you are sad cry. Don’t hold it all inside! Expressing your feelings releases the whole tension and makes you live more consciously in the here and now.

Just Play

Playing is one of our greatest sources of pleasure and energy. It may take many forms – from sport to games to laughing and having great times with your friends. Playing boosts our energy levels and makes us more proactive. It makes the people around us more positive and generally uplifts the spirits of all involved. There are times to be serious, yes, but there are times to play too, and that’s what we must not forget.

CONCLUSION
There is always a different way to do almost anything. We know that in chess that there are countless ways to move during the game. No one, to this day, computers included, has worked out all the permutations. How many ways are there to win the game? In the same way, we can say that “effectiveness is the measure of truth”. In other words, choose the means that determine the results you desire.
