Monthly Mind Power Questions & Answers

A Everything that happens to us happens for a reason. You might find it difficult to imagine why this particular incident happened to you, or what value it could possibly be to you. All our growth in life depends upon our being, as I like to call it, "tested in the fire." And tested in the fire means that life will always bring to us circumstances and situations that allow us to look very closely at ourselves. So even though you were in no way to blame for the incident, your reaction to the incident is completely within your control. You should practice letting go of unfortunate things that happen to you. Holding onto grudges, replaying in your mind bad incidents that happened to you, going over and over the incident in your mind, feeling sorry for yourself, thinking that you are hard done by, only holds you within weakness. What you must do is to simply let those things go and to begin focusing on the things that are positive in your life.

Begin looking at things that are working for you in your life. All right, this situation that happened to you was very unpleasant. It was a situation where your co-workers worked against you, but how many situations in your life have happened that have been pleasant, where people have helped you, where situations have worked out well? And these are the things that you want to focus on. Too often what happens in our life is that we are preoccupied very narrowly with only the things that are negative, the things that have harmed us. What happens then is that we fall into a mental rut. So I'm very happy that you wrote to me. Accept this incident as an awakening, as a call to make yourself more positive. You can even thank your co-workers for this incident, as it's helping you to train your mind to focus on good things, rather than the negative things.

Trusting life means trusting not just when good things happen to you, but trusting life when unfortunate things happen to us. Here is a wonderful opportunity for you to move beyond this incident. Continue to trust life, continue to work with your Mind Powers, continue to fill your mind with positive images about yourself and others, and then watch yourself move forward.

A Deciding what one wants to do with one's life is a very important decision. Considering that you are just finishing up university, it is an important question: not only, "What am I going to do with my life?" but, "How am I going to make a living?" What I would suggest is that you trust your intuition. What is it that you like to do? What gives you enjoyment? Look at your objectives in what you want to do with your life.

I would also suggest that you look at a previous topic called "Follow the Call," which addresses the exact question that you have now.

My admiration and thoughts are always with young people who are starting out in life. And especially starting it out with the advantage of mind powers, because there is so much that you can and will do. It's a matter really of making choices. I wish you successful choices and a successful life.

A There's an old saying that says you learn to crawl before you walk and you learn to walk before you run. Initially, when you start working with Mind Powers, your most important objective is to prove to yourself conclusively that this works. If you disperse yourself over too many goals, you're going to find that you're just not going to be effective at it. So I suggest that, in the beginning stages of working with Mind Powers, you pick just a few things to work on and work diligently on them. Once you've manifested them, then you can work on more things. You'll gain proficiency and confidence as you go. Certainly you're not limited to one or two things. You can work on sometimes as many as five or six things simultaneously, but you can't work on twenty-five things. If you work on twenty-five you just end up needlessly diluting your energy.

A The images we have of other people do in fact assist them if we have a personal contact with them. This is especially true if we can support our efforts with words of encouragement. Ultimately, however, it will always depend upon each individual to change their thoughts and beliefs if they wish to change their reality. Each person must do it for himself or herself.

A One of the greatest discoveries that we will ever make is that reality is responsive to our thoughts and beliefs. Once we discover this we can begin to build and create our life with courage and confidence. I'm happy you've discovered Mind Power. Have a great, fun life using it.
