Move In the Moment

You CAN trust God! He will never lead you in the wrong direction. When we are seeking and praying for God's guidance and for answers to life's circumstances, when the answer is presented we can't stand still. We must move with the flow of divine guidance and divine opportunities.

God has a perfect plan for our lives. And His plan might not always look like we think it should, but He knows how to get us from where we are at to where we desire to be. It is important that we pay attention to any divine signs. For example, if you are praying for your finances to increase are you missing signs? Are you receiving divine downloads that include ideas, concepts, and strategies? Sometimes we miss it because answers don't come how we expect them to. Maybe you were expecting a check in the mail or for someone to give you some money.

It is essential for us to be open to any new opportunities and to "think outside the box." This may mean going back to school, learning a new skill, stepping outside of our comfort zone, and many other things. When we move in the moment we don't worry about how things will work out, we trust that they will work out. That doesn't mean there won't be any bumps in the road, but we believe that the outcome will be amazing because we are moving in faith.

Don't be afraid to take a leap of faith because you are not leaping alone. That in itself should give you confidence. But even when God presents you with opportunities so that you can prosper, He is not going to make you move in their direction. You must take action and powerfully "seize the moment." You must believe in yourself and your ability to fulfill God's divine plan for your life.

Who wants to look back in five years and be regretful because of a decision they didn't make today? None of us do. Living with regret happens way too often, but it doesn't have to happen to you. You may be thinking "what if I take a leap of faith and I fail?" Well, don't think that way. Think like this, what if you take a leap of faith and you succeed? Just imagine how your life could be transformed.

I don't believe that taking a leap of faith because we are being obedient will ever make us feel regretful. From my experience even if the leap was scary I felt amazing because it also felt right at the same time. I challenge you to move in the moment and go for what you want once and for all. Crush every doubtful thought and unleash the faith that can propel you forward into a greater dimension of happiness, purpose, and prosperity.

The Power of the Present

Time is an important concept to human beings... it dominates our lives. We are driven by the demands and boundaries of time, yet time is beyond our ability to control - rather, we learn to "manage" it. There is an entire industry birthed around helping us "manage" our time better. Don't get me wrong, it's an important concept. I, for one, want to make sure I use my time on this earth as effectively as I can. But I wonder if we all wouldn't find a greater measure of freedom if we thought about the concept of time differently before we attempted to "manage" it?

Time is a continuum and a constant in our world... at any given moment we will always have experienced a past, be living in the present, and be facing a future. How did that mere fact become so controlling in our lives? Think about it - we are endlessly juggling the implications of our past, the demands of our present, and our thoughts about the future. I hear so many people say "live in the moment" or "live one day at a time"... we all are familiar with those phrases and perhaps they have lost some of their impact due to simple overuse. But the truth behind these sayings is that nothing is truly REAL except for this very moment, and now the next moment, and now the next... and on and on. Unfortunately few of us think that way... somehow we've allowed our past and our future to become more dominant and real to us than the present moment. How much time do you spend truly immersed in the moment at hand versus thinking (often worrying) about what happened in the past or what may happen in your future?

Let me give the past the acknowledgment it requires - yes, we understand that our past shapes us. We should learn from it and teach those lessons to others. But is the past deserving of the power that we so willing give it? Should the past, whether it be our childhood or what happened this morning, be the lens through which we see our present? Often we don't even use the past to define our present moment; rather, we spend so little time in the present that we use our past to frame our future and spend our energies on those thoughts. The present moment has no place to exist or be enjoyed when we do this. Then comes the cycle of regret for not effectively using our present moments which have quickly become our past. The past is not real... yes, it happened, but it ceases to exist.

What about the demands of the future? As a entrepreneur coach I would never suggest that you don't think about it... in fact, I am a big believer in setting goals, intentions and planning for your future. We all must have dreams that inspire, guide and push us closer to fulfilling our destiny. Hope for our future is a powerful and important emotion. However, many people spend more time shrinking back from the fear of their future, and this is when it begins to control and take us away from the power of the present moment. No matter how obvious the concept is, it bears repeating: the future is not real. It hasn't happened yet and neither you or anyone else can predict what will occur in the future moments. How have we been so persuaded to spend so much thought time in and on our future?

Live in the present moment..it's not just a feel-good quote on a plaque. Make the most of what you can do right now. Put the past and the future in their rightful place, but stop giving them top billing in your thought life. The past and the future are not real... we truly live moment by moment, whether we want to or not. Recognize and embrace that principle in your life and walk in the freedom that it offers.

The Best Ways of Dealing With Disappointments

Too many a time we do not get what we expect. That is when disappointments set in. How can you turn them around? This article highlights some of the effective ways you can deal with them.

Here are a few way-outs:

1) Be calm and live in the moment

Soothe yourself and come back to think of the moment you are in. Are you angry, annoyed, full of bitterness and hate? Actually the moment you are in carry none of the feelings. You are calm and serene and nothing bothers and worries you. So why not practice it more often? When you are feeling low or less than, calm yourself down and concentrate on the present moment. You will have the rightful peace of mind.

2) Relax to and fro in an easy chair

After having a light meal, sit down in an easy chair and swing to and fro. Put on some light background music. Your feelings of bitter disappointment earlier in the day disappear. That is because swinging in your easy chair and getting caught up in the beats of the light music cheer you up. You can once more see the light of the present moment and feel joyous again.

3) Cry if you feel like

If the disappointment is too big to handle and you cannot bear it, allow your emotions to flow out by crying. Do not wallow in self-pity for too long. You know you can handle your problem because every problem has a solution in many ways. After you have allowed to drain out your emotions, you will feel okay. Everything is as perfect as it should be and you just bounce back to your normal schedule.

4) See if you can perceive it as a comedy

Allow yourself to perceive your disappointment in your mind's eye and see if you can convert it to a comedy. If you can allow yourself to laugh out a belly aching one, that should work wonders because you forget your disappointment in a flash.

5) Be your own cheerleader

Help yourself to be your own cheerleader when disappointment surrounds you. You can remember some of the things you simply love doing. Choose one and get absorbed in it, losing yourself in it and enjoying thoroughly. Where is there space for disappointment then?

Summing up, these are five great ways you can loosen yourself from the ropes of disappointment, bounce back and enjoy your life to the fullest.
