Your Self Improvement Blog

Today is a brand new day – one that has never happened before, one that will never be repeated. And now is a new moment. And, in each and every new moment, you have a choice. And on your choice depends your personal development. You’ve a choice when it comes to the thoughts that you are paying attention to just at this moment in time. Are those thoughts simply random? Are they negative thoughts? Are they relevant to what you’re supposed to be doing at this moment in time? Perhaps they’re positive thoughts (better than negative thoughts but thoughts nevertheless). The thoughts you’re focused on are stopping you doing. Don’t waste your energy, discard your thoughts, but leave room for the flights of fancy to rise to the top – because they’re not thoughts, but inspiration and inspiration only visits the clear minded.

And in the present moment, you have a choice in regard to your behaviour and actions (more normally reactions) as well. And, depending on what you choose, you can effortlessly change your life. How much time have you simply binned so far today? How much time have you frittered away sitting in front of your PC’s screen, staring blankly? How much of your precious energy have you spent gossiping about and delighting in the misdeeds or misfortune of others? You’ve probably misspent some precious time shuffling you’re “To Do” list until there’s no time left to do! Or how much of your energy have you mis-invested in doing things you just shouldn’t be doing – like surfing the net for things that have nothing to do with anything important, reading emails that were copied to you to cover someone’s backside, wading through the sordid details of domestic violence that fill our daily newspapers? Each and every moment that you squander is a unique now you will never have again. And what we achieve in this life is the sum total of how we spend each precious moment.

At the very least, in considering some of these searching questions you might start to realize just how much of your life is wasted on doing things that are holding you back from living the life that you want. But these are energy-wasters that you’re aware off – here’s the big question. How much energy are you wasting and you don’t even know? Because, unless your subconscious mind is immersed in profitable activity in the present moment, it is still merrily wandering arount your childhood years, thinking that those childhood experiences are actually happening now – and you’ve no idea whatsoever that this is even happening. And that is the waste of energy that distances us all from the opportunities of the now, from the reality of the now, from the abundance of the now.

So, stop for a moment. Would you like to have a more exciting life? Then ask yourself if what you’re doing now, in the context of what you truly want out of life, is the very best investment of your energy. If it isn’t, don’t do it.
