Cultivating a new way of being in the world and becoming a greater version of oneself is not for the faint of heart. After all, old habits die hard. However, do not underestimate the power of a made-up mind.
Conscious thinkers, throughout the ages, have brought to our attention the importance of utilizing the energy and inspiration of the present moment to fulfill the dreams of our hearts.
In response to the wise counsel of New Thought and Ancient Wisdom, we often tell ourselves that we do not have the resources in this here-and-now present moment to move forward with the vision of the heart. We tell ourselves that we will take up the mission at another time. We tell ourselves we need more research, or more money, or more education, or more coaching, etc., etc., etc. This self-talk denies the reality of the unlimited potential of our creative nature, and it delays the greater good that awaits us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe tells us, “Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” The “begin it” he speaks about may be as simple an act as making a list of things that specify what it will take to actualize your heart’s desire. It may be as simple as journaling your thoughts, feelings, and imaginations, which describe the vision that pulls you. The “begin it” Goethe speaks about may be an affirmation that you recite, accepting your greater-yet-to-be, right here, right now. The idea is simply to begin some activity that keeps you mindful of your objective. In so doing, you ignite the creative medium that surrounds you, and you tap into the field of infinite possibilities.
Begin to engage in the practice of lowly listening through daily meditation. It is in this silent communion that we begin to hear the guidance of our Higher Self, and we begin to know what is ours to do to unleash the Divine One within us that is already whole, complete, and perfect.
Ernest Holmes teaches that while there may be a process that takes time to come to the realization of our true self. However, there is no process of time regarding the truth about our inherent nature. It always exists in the present moment. In his infamous hymn, Amazing Grace, John Newton tells us: “How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed.”
Whether you call it commitment, resolution, intention, or goal, it is the conviction of the heart, aligned with the power for good operating in the universe, that out-pictures in the world. It is Law.
“I am whole and complete in this moment.”
