Turn Inaction into Action

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer the negative elements in your life, don’t sit at home and think about it. Go out and get busy!”
— Dale Carnegie

Overthinking is one of the root causes of inaction.

The best way to overcome this is to just take action.

If your thoughts & feelings are holding you back from taking right action, it’s time to break on through to the other side.

You do this, like Nike says, by just doing it.

Everyone feels fear.

Everyone worries.

But in this moment, it’s time for right action.

Ask Impossible Questions

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
-Alice in Wonderland

You’ve heard the phrase “think outside the box”, but what does it really mean to think outside the box?

Part of what this phrase means is to ask impossible questions.

& just as history shows, sometimes, often accidentally, that impossibilities are possible.

The 4 minute mile.

The Earth isn’t the center of the Universe.

A black president.

And the list goes on…

The ceiling is waiting to be broken, & it’s waiting to be broken by you.

Compare Less. Do more

Posted on September 13, 2021 by Ken Thompson in Lifestyle, Motivation, Philosophy, Self-Help, Success and tagged Brene Brown, Comparison, Dreams, Focus, Goals, Inspiration, Life, Mindfulness, Motivation.

Sometimes I scroll through social media and find myself comparing myself to famous people who seem to have “made it.”

Yes they have made it to where they are, and that’s perfect, but that’s not where our focus should be.

My focus, your focus, our focus, should remain upon our own lives, our own goals, our own dreams.

When you stop comparing and start focusing and working on improving your own life, life improves.

It takes time, but it’s worth it.

“Stay in your lane. Comparison kills creativity and joy.”
-Brene Brown

Fall Seven Times & Rise Again

“For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.”
—Proverbs 24:16

You’ve stumbled. You’ve fallen. But you won’t let this keep you down. Not again. Not this time.

You’ve been created on this planet with a purpose. Some people find their purpose & live it out, while others contribute to purpose without knowing.

To find and live your true purpose requires a righteous pursuit. On this path you will fall much more than 7 times, but you will continue to rise and be stronger with each comeback.

You can go through your entire life with your eyes “closed”, or you can open your heart, mind, and soul and find the treasure that it waiting for you.

It’s your choice.

Pray about it.

Dream about it.

Love your fate.

& Rise again.

Theodore Roosevelt is given credit for the quote: “Comparison is the thief of joy.”

But that really doesn’t matter.

What’s important is what you do with this information.

Because how much time do you spend comparing your life to others? Or others’ lives against others’?

What’s better than comparison?

Inward reflection & gratitude.

The Power of Your Imagination

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.”
-Albert Einstein

Einstein knew it.

Buddha knew it.

Jesus knew it.

& not only did they know it, they realized & embodied it – Imagination.

They of course had their own unique methods for sharing one of the most misunderstood truths within humanity, but they shared it.

It baffles me sometimes that we never learn about this in school – The Power of Imagination. We are almost always taught the opposite – Conform. Don’t question your teachers & adults because they are right! yea, that’s a big joke.

Ego has dominated the 20th century but it is loosening up in the 21st century. What we need now is Soul. Real Soul. & it’s happening.

Imagination comes from the Soul – True Imagination, & all the great spiritual teachers & great scientists understood this. That Imagination is not just some surreal & futile function of the human mind, but that it is playing a huge role in the manifestation of humanity & the lives of all beings.

“The human mind is our fundamental resource.”
— John F. Kennedy

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
— Romans 12:2

You have been gifted with the power of imagination. You can let it go to waste or you can learn more about it & play a role in the evolution of humanity.
