Inward Achievement

"What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality." – Plutarch

It’s kind of funny but I still am self conscious about doing my personal brain training in front of people. I really ought not feel that way but I do. My mentor tells me I NEED to do it in front of people to show them what I am doing to improve myself. I know I am a better person than I was a few years ago. I know that the result is from the work I am doing inwardly.

So here I sit writing this blog after having done my morning ritual of gratitude and planning. Linda is home for a week and I am a bit off my game. I miss Linda (I can tell you more about that later) and having her around I want t spend as much time with her as possible. So I am doing just that!

I am still struggling with all of this and sitting here at 52, I am pretty sure it will be a struggle for the remainder of my life. And I am OK with that. I am enjoying this “struggle”. It is a struggle of positivity and growth. It was harder when I was starting as I did not see any change at all. In fact it was horrible. I would spend mornings working on self improvement and not see any improvement, and most of the time actually saw things getting worse.

Luckily I had used Darren Hardy’s words, ideas and techniques from The Compound Effect and put them in my mind. I was EXPECTING things to get worse before they improved. But improve they did. And they continue to improve.

So what is my struggle now? It is I think that if I miss a day it won’t matter. It does matter. This is an uphill fight. Do you know what it is like driving a car up a steep slope? Or riding a bicycle up a steep slope? As soon as you slack off a bit your momentum doesn’t slack off a bit it drops drastically. Soon everyone is behind you and passing you. SO slacking off on my personal training isn’t about taking a break, it’s about letting my past catch up to me. NO WAY!

So my mornings aren’t really about doing this to show people what I am doing. It is really about keeping momentum on my personal growth and keeping my personal demons at bay. Once I have finished my thought training I go about my day in a positive mindset.

I believe in the concept of en theos (I likely spelled them incorrectly). The GOD WITHIN. I am not a religious man but I believe in the concept of good and evil. I also believe all of these “things” are not opposites but two sides of the same coin. So by expanding my mind positively I am polishing that side of the coin. If I want to continue to grow I must keep polishing the coin. I also believe that negative responses to my growth will come back to me more quickly than positive responses. The universe will pay me, quickly for negativity and slowly for positivity.

All of my inward achievements will eventually pay off. They are already paying off in improved relationships with everyone in my life. All of life is relationships. As these relationships grow and improve, as I can help more and more people, my life will be rewarded more and more. I am a rich man in spirit and in love.

Go in peace my friend and grow your soul to be expansive and helping. Be a servant to those that you come in contact with.
