BEING OF SERVICE….

Published August 6, 2010 by Leelja Baur-Davidson

Being of service to the world can be done in many ways, they need not be huge. You are helping right now.

Each of us is more than capable of helping the world, despite our fears and limitations and the uncertainty that holds us back. It is commonly accepted that it is impossible to make a difference without unlimited funding or free time, yet most healing, cleansing, and spreading of joy is accomplished in a matter of minutes. If we vow to make the world a better place one day at a time, the true significance of small good deeds reveals itself to us. We come to see that we can be of service without dedicating our lives to recognized charities or giving up the pleasures we enjoy. The warmth we feel when we help the world is only a tiny part of the affirmative transformations that take place when we make altruism a part of everyday existence.

We make our homes, workplaces, communities, and countries better and brighter when we think positive thoughts that echo outward, give donations of time or money, smile at everyone we meet, and lend those in need of aid our assistance. As we learn, we inadvertently improve the universe because we can only be truly involved when we are informed. Even enthusiastically sharing ideas with others generates positive energy that then serves as the motivation for more tangible change. Selfless and helpful deeds remind us that we exercise some degree of control over a world that can seem chaotic at times. Even the smallest of such deeds is a demonstration of the fact that we are capable of changing the world in a positive way. So much negative energy is generated by the suffering, pain, and close-mindedness we are regularly exposed to, but we can counteract it in a constructive way by thinking and acting altruistically when opportunities to do so arise.

Helping the world often takes no more than a moment, just a wish for the world is a beautiful gesture and can be done by even the busiest of people effortlessly. The gift you give each day need not be grand or attention-worthy because the broader benefits are the same no matter the literal repercussions. Once a day, you can affect reality, and you can reap the rewards of knowing that you are making the world a better place, day by day.

VISION BOARDS

PART 1

Why Vision boards Work

Vision boards are something that have recently been re-revived and brought to the attention of the public through magazines, internet articles and high profile T.V shows. Many of you may be interested in making a vision board but feel wary about actually doing it because you don’t fully understand why vision boards work. So how do they work?

Vision boards work because they are based on the “law of attraction” which has seen a lot of people do some very great things because of it. The law of attraction is based upon the combined outcome of three specific principles; Ask, Believe and then receive.  By asking the Universe or Higher power, depending on what you believe), then believing that it is true and real you will then receive what you have asked for. Simply that by focusing your mind with positive thoughts about a goal you may have or a dream that you want for yourself, then imaging yourself doing those things via images, you will then accomplish them as you are lead in the right direction to your goal or dream. This all works because you are able to access your sub-conscious mind which holds the key to your intuition and belief that you can have what you want.

Have you ever heard the phrase “money attracts money?” well this is the same for other things; positive attracts positive and negative attracts negative. Within ourselves we all have issues, memories or problems that have allowed us to carry negative emotions around with us for years. Feelings of unrest, poor personal image and a feeling of not being good enough or deserving good things are the most common. Because of these negative thoughts we often, without realizing it, are sabotaging our chances at happiness, wealth and good fortune. How many times have you said to yourself “now why did I just do that?” it is because of these negative thoughts kept in your sub-conscious mind.  By opening up your mind and changing these thoughts into positive ones, great changes can be made and success found. Vision boards are perfect for this task as they are very basic but very powerful in their effect on our lives and in our minds. Anyone can make one and everyone can benefit from one.

Vision boards use images, sounds, smells and positive words to focus our minds and change these negative thoughts into positive ones. Accepting that this is a task that will not happen overnight is important as real change takes time, so do not be disappointed after a short time if nothing happens as this will only feed back into the negative that you have been trying so hard to eradicate from your mind. Keeping faith and belief will carry you through, making sure that your positive thoughts attract the positive things you are trying to achieve. Vision boards work; millions of people can back that up and have found the inner self confidence to reach for more that they have because they deserve it.
