QS7 3.2 - “Two Approaches to Creating Your Living Dream”
By Daniel • November 6th, 2007
The Fundamental Principle: (part 3) “Two Approaches to Creating Your Living Dream”
A problem which arises over and over with the outside-in approach is this: The outside will always align with the inside, the inside guides the flow, for example; “Unhappy with your job? Then get a new one, then become unhappy with that one too.” “Unhappy with your relationship? Then get a new one, then become unhappy with that one too.” The problem with fixing our emotions by changing our outside world is simple, it doesn’t work for long, it doesn’t last.
Immediately they begin to find joy in the work they once disliked because it becomes a game to them, the game is seeing how well they can do the job. Immediately the suffering through a hated job vanishes and is replaced with a playful striving, the work they hated becomes fun! They’ve changed the way they are being, the way they are seeing things, and suddenly, almost immediately the work changes for them. Instead of finding a better job, they find joy in the present one, then, after a short time, often a very short time they find themselves getting that better job of their dreams. Which Approach is Best? Here at Full Spirit, we like to make use of every tool, and strongly avoid focusing on what’s wrong with things. Both the Outside-In and Inside-Out approach have many strengths which can be used to compliment tone another. The approach you’ll be putting to use in the pages and lessons of Full As you change your internal world to match your ideal, making changes in your outside world will only help the process by anchoring your new beliefs to the physical world. We’ll talk allot more about anchors in other sections. For now, think of it like this, if you hated your job, and then decided to get a better one by becoming great at your current one, what good would it do you if you refused the better one when it came along? We anchor our internal world in our external world, first improving our attitude, second improving our situation. The best practices approach uses of both techniques, starting at the inside and working outward to the world that surrounds us. We change what we are like, and then the outside world aligns with the way we are, and the life we want congeals all around us. Our internal attitudes become the seed around which our situation grows. Using the Fundamental Principle “Focus on Fundamentals!” If you hear me shout, “Focus on Fundamentals” 10,000 times it still won’t be emphasized enough! I am little more than a tour guide on this journey into your highest truth, and as your guide I work for you, stand beside you asking, “What are you being like? What do you want to be like?” Then I shout, “FOCUS ON FUNDAMENTALS!” (I’m a guide who sometimes shouts :-) Every time you find yourself being alive, pause for a moment and focus on fundamentals by saying to yourself and then asking, Who you are, what you are being like on the inside determines what your outside becomes. Your situation does not determine your feelings, your feelings determine your situation! Happiness comes to happy people. Smiling faces find smiles everywhere! It is not riches, or houses, or possessions which create happiness, happiness creates riches! Find your happiness inside of you and everywhere you look you will see it reflected back at you. “Likes align and congeal, What are you being like? What do you want to be like?” You are currently, as you read this, a person who is being like a person on an adventure, an adventure towards fulfilling the living dream! You are powerful, motivated, and inspired to create within yourself the happiness you know you deserve! Getting off to a Quick Start “Focus on Fundamentals!” If you come to a workshop with me you’ll find me walking around shouting, “Focus on Fundamentals” at random intervals. I will stop people at any given moment and ask, “What are you being like? What do you want to be like?” I’m not there with you, so you’re going to have to learn to do this on your own. Catch yourself and ask yourself, “What am I being like?” Say to yourself, “Likes align and Congeal: what do I want to be like?” What you are being like today is determining what you will experience tomorrow, but this is a toolkit, not a one trick pony! You’re going to need more than just one tool to get off on the fast track to experiencing life at your best! So let’s keep going by getting acquainted with the Basics… |
