When we listen deeply to others it is healing for them and us. To relate to this more, think about a time when you felt really heard and accepted for who you are. It's wonderful. That level of acceptance is deeply healing. It creates a greater acceptance and connection to ourself and others. We understand more fully the fact that when we're connected to ourself, we're connected to everyone else. When we experience this, our self confidence grows dramatically.

"I am the world" is my mantra. In my meditation this morning I was inspired to record a podcast with that as the title. What I've come up with is a re affirmation of wisdom I've previously been aware of. I know that when I'm connected to myself I'm connected to everyone else. I know I experience deeper connection the more I practice empathy. Connection is different from identifying all that exists as being part of me. It's a cheap substitue the same as sex is a cheap substitute for love.

As always, the most efficient way forward is to have a greater acceptance of what is true right now. Now I find myself having greater empathy, while not relating well to being all that exists. I have the belief that I will grow in my experience of being the world, being ONE. I believe the more I experience being the world, the more energy I'll have. I believe that alignment will result in me being more effective in all I do. Intellectually, I know I am the world even if I don't fully relate to that.

I trust and have faith in the idea that the solution to every problem, including relating to being the world, is to be more honest and accepting of myself. I'll keep doing my best to do that. I hope my example inspires you to persist in finding greater alignment with what you want and believe to be true.

Today, the featured book is "Transitioning from zero sum to win/win thinking". Changing our thinking changes our life. Adopting a win/win approach makes for a much better life.

It matters what thoughts we have in our mind. A mantra is repeating a thought we want in our mind over and over again. That thought should be an uplifting thought.

My mantra is "I am the world". When I repeat that thought I find myself increasingly thinking that the world exists within me, completely. It supports the idea that what I perceive as the outer world is a representation of what is within me. Then I find myself thinking I have complete control of my world because it is all part of and within me. These thoughts create an experience of peace for me. The mantra is doing it's job, helping me experience greater and greater love, joy and peace.

I encourage you, if you're so inspired, to meditate on what an optimal uplifting mantra would be for you and repeat it in your mind all you can. In any event, I would encourage you to do that makes you vitally alive. I look forward to your thoughts.

Today's featured book is "Peace, the ultimate power". When we restore ourselves to a peaceful state we tap into all the resources we need to solve any problem we encounter.

When difficulty and upset come up for us, the best thing we can do is to remind ourself we have the capacity to restore ourselves to a peaceful state. Only when we're calm and centered can we open up to the optimal response to the situation at hand. Making decisions and taking action when we're afraid or angry only creates more fear and anger in our life.

Example is the most powerful form of leadership. Here's an example from my life.

I often worry about money. I've made some bad investments telling myself I needed to pursue higher investment returns. They didn't work out. The investments I've made that I was at peace with when I made them, worked out better than I imagined possible. The more I pay attention to my thoughts and the emotions they create, the clearer I think and the better decisions I make. Now, when I worry about money and accept the thoughts creating that fear of the future, I am aware of the thoughts and make sure not to act on them. At that point often the thought arisis, "I believe in myself and my ability to find solutions to money and any other problems in my life." This thought is true and restores me to a calm centered state.

We have the power to create the life we want. I offer coaching to help people access that power. You can reserve a no cost no obligation inititial coaching session to uncover and take ownership of more of you power. Go to www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com and reserve your time.

Don't put off joy. One of the lies many of us tell ourself is, I'm better off putting off doing what I enjoy for later. Listen for a thought that is uplifting and act on that thought today. Replace the concept of delayed gratification with the idea that this is our only shot at today, let's make the most of it.

My experience is that every time I act in a manner that demonstrates I believe in my capacity to make my life all I want it to be, I have a great day. Ask the question, "If I believed in myself, what would I do?". My answer is to keep following the inspiration I receive in daily meditation and trust that will optomize my experience of life. What's your answer? We can talk about that and more in a free introductory coaching session if you wish. You can schedule it at www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com

Example is the most powerful form of leadership. Share relevant examples of how you "rose to the occasion" with your employees and others to inspire them. Make it clear you're there to help if needed.

I've inspired a great many people with my example of openness and self acceptance. The more I behave in a manner I'm proud of, the more others want to emulate that. I'm confident you'll have the same experience.

We create our life with our mind. Our mind takes direction from our will. With an act of will, we can change our life in an instant.

My life completely changed the day I met my wife, over 40 years ago. For years I'd been clear on my intention that either I wanted to meet a woman I loved who wanted to marry me or I no longer wanted to live. I knew I would never kill myself, but I figured without the will to live I'd die in a traffic accident or from some disease. It took years of growth before I created my wife in my life, and everything changed for me the day I met her.

I've been working to have my dominant perspective be the experience of being ONE with all that exists for years. As time goes by my sense of urgency in creating this in my life grows. I wrote a book entitled "Being ONE" as part of my effort to experience it more. It helped and left me short of having the dominant experience in my life being ONE with all that exists. Not long ago I was inspired to adopt the mantra, "I am the world". Again, that helps and still leaves me short of having the dominant experience of being ONE.

Being conscious and accepting of the fact that NOW is the only moment that will ever exist, I believe, is part of experiencing being ONE.

I feel I have a foot in each camp. I've had experiences of being ONE and my dominant thinking still thinks we are separate beings. My will is directing my mind to let go of thinking of myself as being separate and live in the love, joy and peace of being ONE. I know from past experience, this change can occur in an instant, just as my life changed when I met my wife. Similiar to that situation, I'll keep at it until I get there.

To the extent we are separate, accept what you want your life to be and let the determination of your will and intention direct your mind to make it happen. To the extent we are ONE, each effort to experience being ONE brings us closer to that being the dominant understanding in our life.

I'll adopt any thinking that results in me experiencing greater love joy and peace.

Several months ago I was inspired to adopt the mantra, "I am the world". It's been a challenge to relate to that, and repeating it has brought me a greater peace. To releive some of the suffering I've created in my life, I am allowing myself to increasingly accept the truth of the fact that I am all the exists. I am every person I perceive. I am every good and bad thought and emotion.

Part of me is certain I am crazy. I allow that thought to exist. As I do, the thought arises that "I'm going to accept any type of thinking and thought that increases my experience of love, joy and peace. I don't care if it's crazy or not, as long as I experience greater and greater joy."

For years, I've subscribed to the thought that I create my world. Now, I'm finding myself needing to understand what that means, what the implications of that are, more and more to find greater love, joy and peace. I'll be paying closer and closer attention to the projection of my thoughts that comprise "my" world. I know this will give me greater effectiveness in creating the loving, joyful and peaceful world I want.

One of the books that is relevent to this podcasgt is, "Empathetic Healing, a love story"

When we or someone close to us is experiencing pain, weakness or discouragement, the optimal response is acceptance. Accept what we're feeling. Accept the thoughts that are creating the problem. Listen deeply. Acceptance is healing.

Here's a real time example from my life.

Someone close to me was suffering and discouraged. My initial response was to be angry that they were not applying themselves more and doing better. I was angry that I didn't know what to do to effectively help. I became discouraged. Then I became weak. Then I realized that I was having to breath more deeply and slowly just to keep going.

With the slower breath, I started to have helpful insights. The first was to remember that acceptance is healing. Then I was inspired to record a podcast about healing this problem through acceptance. Then I found myself being reminded that the best thing I can do for everyone else is to work on myself. In this case, working on myself is being more honest about the suffering I'm creating in my life. This is an opportunity to heal the blame and judgement towards myself and others for not having done more, better and faster.

Having shared this, I feel better.

The place to start in solving any problem is to be as honest with ourself as to what is true right now.

To find out what price home you can afford identify current monthly income, minimum monthly debt payments, available funds, and if you've served in the military.

With that information, a mortgage professional can advise if it's more beneficial to pay down credit card and other debt, or use those funds for a down payment and reserves. I've been a mortgage broker for 40 years and can guide you through your options.

Spiritual principles can be benefically applied in any area and circumstance of life. Aligning with spiritual principles optomizes every great aspect of our life.
