Deepak Chopra speaks of a concept called Premature Cognitive Commitment. An example of this would be the fact that fish in an aquarium will not swim to the other side if a glass partition is placed in the middle of the tank. When the glass partition is removed, the fish still do not swim to the other side of the tank. Because of their initial sensory experience, they make a commitment to a reality and then that becomes their reality. How often do we limit our thinking and create a reality that is not fulfilling our true potential A reality that does not bring us joy every day when we wake up. A reality that is a life of mediocrity and one where we are not giving back to the world the light and healing that it needs. A reality where we have forgotten that we were sent here to help establish this light within ourselves and others.
The world now is in a state of higher awareness. This awareness is taking many forms. We see it in war and famine...or perhaps we choose not to see this in areas of the world that do not receive as much news coverage. It is still there. However, there is also much light that is being illuminated and there is much more light then darkness. There always is. Those of us that have found some healing in our lives are now called on in these times to "up" the work we have been doing. Creating more awareness, healing, and light to for others and within ourselves. That may mean for most of us that we will be embarking on a different path then we are currently on. It may mean we need to wake up and take some more risks. If we are too comfortable and stagnant then we are not evolving. Think of your current life conditions for a moment. Is there anything that you would be doing differently if you were given the ability, or a fairy godmother who could grant you wishes. If the answer is Yes, then why are we not doing it? The limits we place on ourselves, the self doubts, the barriers that we Think are there are ONLY there because We have created them in our reality. Anything is possible if we are willing to pay the price. Do the work, stay persistent, do not let failures or setbacks discourage us and most importantly have faith that we are being led on a path for greater good. Abundance in all of our lives is there for the asking or should I say there for us to create. This starts with our thoughts.. Abundance spiritually, physically emotional and financially...yes even financially.. it is not something to fear or think of as worldly. It is only the love of money that creates havoc. Take the challenge of looking deep inside your thoughts, deep into the rabbit hole. What can you change about your thinking, about your reality, about your life. What paths can you take now to create change. What negative thoughts are you manifesting every day in your life. When you look into a mirror what do you see? A body and a soul that is trapped in some form and shape you hate. Or a spiritual being having a human experience. If the later, you will see yourself as loving, powerful and capable of healing yourself and others.
It is equally important to take the time you need to rejuvenate and heal yourself. If we try to only help and heal others and forget to nurture our own spirit we will droop like the flowers that have received to little water or too much rain. Challenge yourself to look at your life and whatever dreams you have put on hold because of self doubt or negative thoughts and change it now. There is no time like the present to make the change. Write it down in a journal or some special tablet where your keep your thoughts. Writing down our dreams and goals makes them more viable and has amazing powers for manifestation. Meditate on your dreams and goals, And most importantly SEE yourself NOW as the image of what you strive for. Do not focus on what you don't have, however, focus on what you are working toward and see yourself already in that form or situation. Every Morning when you wake up , smile, create your day, see yourself filled with abundance and most importantly watch how the synchronistic events in your life unfold before you. Just open your eyes. Reality is an interpretation. Create your reality so that it leads you further and further down the rabbit hole each day and to greater awareness and evolution like that which you have ever known or dreamt of. It is yours for the asking.
