RENEWING THE MIND
DO YOU THINK THINGS OUT?
So, you want to transform your life from where it is today to something much different, something you know inside that life should be for you.
If that be the case, do you truly think things out?
I am not a follower of any religion but have read many “great” books including the Bible. There is an interesting passage in Romans 12:2 where St. Paul says “They are transformed by the renewing of their minds”. It is the concept of renewal and transformation that really interests me.
Want a better life then there are some things that must happen.
We have to change our current thinking to thinking that reflects improved mental hygiene. We must build a new way of looking at things. In many ways we may be living an “artificial” life, we must be prepared to get real. We must learn what “normal” and “reality” really are. We must accept truths and find the courage to change.
So, I hope these thoughts give you reason to think, and you take the time to really think things out.
You can transform your life from where you are to a reality that is abundant. I have walked that path and did not walk it alone.
I don’t pretend to have all the answers. If this article causes you to think, and you’d like to chat and learn more, let’s talk. Maybe talking will help you think things out. (www.coached-to-success.com or www.hopeserenity.ca )

FISHING POLE-FOOD FOR LIFE
Yesterday, I had posted something that asked for input and answers to a couple of specific questions. I am still looking for more input, and thanks to those of you who did respond.
I got one great reminder and I have to remember it, and it may be a great reminder for you to.
I love to help people. I can be guilty at times of trying to “fix” their surface problem. This depends on the “role” I am playing in the person’s life. The great reminder was a parable.
If a person is hungry, give them a fish and they will be fed today. Give them a fishing rod and they will be fed for life. (Not an exact quote for those who are perfectionists)
This, in its way, talks about holistic change.
I was given some fish way back when, and I was OK for the short hall. Eventually someone took the time to understand me, show me how to construct and use a fishing rod, and now, when I take action, I am no longer hungry.
I guess I want to be in the fishing pole business. I hate giving away fish over and over!

THE POWER OF ACCEPTANCE
THE POWER OF ACCEPTANCE
THE POWER OF ACCEPTANCE
As each new year begins, I love to go through and meditate on the 12 steps. As I constantly tell others, while the 12 steps in the familiar format people look at today come from AA, there is no better model for any human being to follow for good mental hygiene.
Want a better life tomorrow than you have today, start a journey using the 12 steps as your map!
My mentor Dr. Randin Brons just published the following thoughts in his Idea Engineer, and lo and behold they go right to the first step’s theme. ACCEPTANCE. He wrote:
The power of acceptance
"It is permissible to take life's blessings with both hands provided thou dost know thyself prepared in the opposite event to take them just as gladly. This applies to food and friends and kindred, to anything God gives and takes away... As long as God is satisfied do thou rest content. If he is pleased to want something else of thee, still rest content." -- Meister Eckhart
Our life begins to change in magical ways when we open to the experience of life AS IT IS. With acceptance, we stop fighting what is happening. And this creates space, an opening for new relationships to unfold.
Explore unconditionally saying yes to the facts of life. Accept your past and where you are now. Unconditional acceptance is unconditional love and this is healing.
"Sometimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all. It's about what's going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater." -- Nicholas Evans
Any journey forward begins with what Dr. Brons refers to as unconditional acceptance.
Is there something not right in your life? Something you know you must change? Something that is causing negatives in your life? Is that small quiet voice deep inside constantly niggling at you?
Accept what the problem really is and own it. Then get ready to make the journey of positive change, the co-creative journey of life transformation and life recovery. You’re worth it! (khbray@hopeserenity.ca; www.hopeserenity.ca).
