Bless the flowers and the weeds,
my birds and bees.
"It was pride that
changed angels to devils;
it is humility that makes
humans as angels."
Saint Augustine
"Keep your conscious mind busy
with expectations of the BEST,
and your subconscious
will faithfully reproduce
your habitual thinking
in your emotions and
experiences!"
Dr. Joseph Murphy
Lately I have been rereading
books from my youth.
Reading Dr. Murphy's classic
"The Power Of Your Subconscious"
has really impressed me with how
influential his ideas have been in
my life, and over a lifetime.
I see clearly in retrospect
how these ideas changed my days,
my ways, my thinking,
Lest that sound a bit intimidating,
I hurry to add that all the changes
were in the manner of a wonderful
voyage of discovery! I thoroughly
enjoyed my new habits and their results!
I had no money. I had no prospects.
In fact, I had big obstacles to clear!
But every day after work,
I sat back in the sunniest spot
in my New York apartment,
closed my eyes, and basked
in the same sun [I told myself]
that was shining on the lucky people
on the beach at Waikiki.
I really came to look forward to my daily
Hawaii vacation throughout those
Northern Winters of icy slush.
I Added music.
I could almost hear the surf.
Anything to make it realer to myself
behind my closed eyes
feeling the sun on my face
I did.
Well, I changed my thinking,
and my life DID change in many
great ways. And I lived in Waikiki for
almost 30 years in real life!
Re-reading Joseph Murphy,
who came before The Secret,
or ALL the New Age books,
has also made me realize
that even though these ideas
have really permeated my thinking
and my life in many ways,
I needed to refresh the power.
Becoming EVEN more confident,
more interested in life,
even HEALTHIER!
Imagine if I really took the time
every day, to practice this
Inner Vacation Of Positivity & Pleasure
and brought these ways back to the foreground!
Imagine it!
So I'm sharing this with you
because it has proved life-changing,
yet every-day, and reliable to me
over decades from youth forward.
See you on the beach, my DEAR.
