A disturbed mind is easily influenced. This will cost you your peace. Learn to maintain your peace by freeing yourself from attachments. Competing or comparing yourself with others will not allow you to focus inwards. An inner focus allows you to keep your eye on your higher self. Remember your original nature. It allows you to forge a link with the Divine.
Then it becomes easy to recognize useless thoughts and replace them with a spiritual perspective. A calm mind is not just peaceful, it is focused, self-directing and Divine.
Stop stopping
Stop stopping yourself. Stop holding yourself back. Stop giving power to your limitations. Instead, give commitment, action and persistence to your best possibilities. Fear and anxiety are immensely compelling, yet you are even stronger. The inertia of complacency is powerful, and yet you can overcome it. Whatever may have been holding you back has done so with your cooperation. Choose now to no longer cooperate. You have made the excuses and rationalizations, and you can now let them go. You have focused on the fear, and you can now move beyond it. The challenges facing you are very real, but that doesn’t mean you must add to them. Instead, use the positive power of your life to move successfully through them.
