meditation

You have the ability to create your own mind-set. Whether your attitude is positive or negative
is up to you. The ability to change your environment
circle of friends
and attitude
is within your control.

Just like a computer absorbs raw data
so does your mind. Within your mind a culture
within itself
has grown. Many people feel like they have no control of their own mind
because this culture has become negative. The negativity is a result of past experiences
being in a negative environment
or being under the influence of unconstructive ideas.

Similar to a computer virus
you have to identify it quickly
to avoid letting it spread within your mind. You can also pass this virus of negative thinking to people around you. As a result you are spreading negative energy around
like “weeds in a field.”

Much like a farmer
you cultivate too. The energy in your mind is the crop
and it is up to you
whether it is weeds or wheat. If you have a farm and let a field take care of itself; you will be lucky to have any kind of a crop
from it.
This is the same with the energy within your mind.

You have to option to pick quality seeds: Information
in the form of books
eBooks
DVD’s
CD’s
lectures
courses
workshops
and seminars. This is learning
for the sake of self-improvement
and it results in a positive mind-set.

However
your work is not finished
because you must still reinforce the lessons
and keep everything in a focused order. This might be compared to fertilizing
watering
and “weeding the mind.” You have to work at it continually or the weeds will grow back. This
my friend
is meditation
and one of the reasons why we meditate
in the first place.

Meditation is controlled focus on an object
thought
or task without judgment.
This process makes it possible to look at all situations objectively. You can find solutions
turn negative situations into positive learning experiences
and create your own positive mindset. As a result of this you will make new friends
reach goals
handle problems easily
and develop an indomitable spirit.

Remember the last time you made an accomplishment. That feeling
and that ability
are within all of us. It is a formula for success
but you have to take action. Action is something that the vast majority of people will never take.
Learn to separate yourself from “the pack
” through education
meditation
and action.
