It may seem strange to you that
you must be weak to be strong, that you gather the power invincible from the
small elusive secret fountain within, which can only be found through thought.
It is elusive because though it is there, eternal, it does not press; it must
be sought; and there are so many things that delay the seeker. – Anonymous
The strength that comes from
apparent weakness is the internal humility to listen to our desires and to recognize
that they are telling us of their possibility. They are potential reality in
our experience and our strength lies in accepting this message as truth and
acting from the truth that there is nothing between the self and the reality
that we desire except our own delaying beliefs.
As soon as we understand this
idea, we have the ability and the power to discover and rethink everything that
stands between us and our prosperity. We are ill because we believe more in the
necessity of illness than in health; or perhaps, we conflict ourselves to
distress and disease with inner conflict over our desires and our beliefs that
we can’t have our desires. Strength grows as we successfully shift any belief
from can’t to can.
Our health, creative expression,
relationships, and financial freedom are interrelated and all dependent upon
our view of the possible. Consider, how can we be healthy if we suffer from
fear of loneliness, lack, or failure? How do we succeed in our careers if we
are always ill or tired, or believe that we must have money to make money?
Having is a matter of consciousness, which grows from appreciating what we do
have and living gratefully and freely with what we have makes our wealth grow.
We practice this with physical
exercise to make flabby muscles toned by noticing that flabby or not we do have
muscle throughout our bodies and movement tones it. We all solve problems
dozens of times a day. How often do we notice that the ability to go left or
right to say yes or no is the only ability we require to create a hobby model
or become the model for success? Choices we make from listening to our deepest
thoughts, which rise from our higher power of reasoning through external
information or our personal intuition lead to genuine personal prosperity.
We must practice making choices.
At one time extensive menus flustered me. Then, I realized that I was
flustering myself by thinking that I needed to try everything at least once and
I only had that meal. I always pick my favorites now, and add in something new
to see if I can find some new favorites but the new I pick seems to leap off
the carte and grab my attention because I relaxed and accepted that variety
exists for all of us and I don’t need to taste all of it.
Making the changes from limiting
thoughts to unlimiting thoughts requires that we first recognize our present
pattern. I just spoke to a person who in five minutes said he was glad that it
wasn’t tomorrow because if it was he’s be another day older. Then he commented
that the paper-cut he’d just got would sting and be hard to heal; after which
he complained that now it is time for the weather to get hot, all without
realizing that he was arguing for aging or death, arguing for difficulty
healing, and arguing for discomfort.
Now, I chose to set new longevity
records every day, embrace the power of healing, and adapt to the weather so
that I enjoy life no matter what occurs. I see the activity of Higher Power in
me and in my life, bringing to me the best that life offers. I accept it now
with gratitude and step forward with prosperity strength and so it is.

“First
you ask definitely for direction, then it will enter your consciousness as a
definite thought; then in your turn you give it back the thought and it will
give you back the thing. It answers every question, solves every problem; it is
the solution to every difficulty.” Ernest Holmes
