Luxury is a thing of the mind. Ought you not grow your mind more than any other thing? You’re mind may be rich long before you ever, if ever, gain any earthly possessions. That is what life is about, gaining wisdom with our intelligence, and love with our tenderness.
Self-mastery is worth more than all the riches in the world. It’s in the way that we feed and use our mind to grow itself. The way we think repeatedly determines our true net worth. True thought is power and wealth personified. No one can keep the hungry mind poor.
The mind is a perfect tool used for any number of tasks. Problem-solving is a talent of the informed mind. Problems are not a source of luxury alone but answers are. Absolute truth lends us the capacity to retain knowledge from our experiences.
You’re mind can do unlimited things and solve problems that you never knew could be solved. It can make outlandish improvements in very short periods of time if given the correct information and stimulus. Stimulus is power to the mind when mixed with truth and active desire.
Your mind looks for refreshment and enlightenment when it is healthy and trained to crave goodness and growth. If you think the right thoughts you can have whatever it is that you want.
It will take time and effort. It will take learning, hard work, and diligent persistence. It will be fun because progress always is. It will take discipline and drive. What more could you ever want than riches, treasure, power, mastery, knowledge, insight, truth, and wisdom for the mind?
Create change with ACTION!
Why do you do what you do?
What is the cause of how things are in your life?
What habits do you have?
What things are working for you?
These questions can help you make changes if you think about the answers correctly.
Here’s a suggestion...
Remember for a moment the oft quoted definition of insanity...
Our good friend Albert Einstein spoke volumes of wisdom on the subject in this simple yet far reaching statement:
"Insanity:doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
Studies have shown that people learn best by repetition. So what’s so bad about repetition? The problem is, repeating certain actions leave us stuck in the same useless routines.
But I think there’s a bigger underlying problem...
People don’t get why they act. I’m not referring to any single act specifically but in a general sense they do not know why to act at all or what the purpose of action really is. I have recently been putting a lot of energy and study into that question. Here’s a simple explanation and small portion of what I have found. (After all, I can't tell all my secrets, right?)
The most useful reason to act is to “Create Change.” What do I mean by that and how can it be done exactly you might ask?
Here’s the answer:
In order to figure out how your actions will change something you must first identify what it is you want to change and what you want to change it to.
Ex.
"I eat junk food.” (The thing you want your actions to change.)
“I eat healthy food and enjoy it.” (The way you want things to be.)
Now you can come up with an effective solution/strategy.
Ex.
Earn a little more money for better quality food.
Free up some time for more food preparation and cooking.
Take cooking classes online.
Buy more salad dressing.
Learn how and when to use seasoning.
Buy whole foods.
Slow down long enough to take care of my body.
etc. (The list could go on and on...)
My point should be clear. With this example you can see how each of these actions would help you change things from how they are relative to the example into a better situation all by taking ACTION!
This idea really works and will help you creat NEW RESULTS!
NO MORE INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!!

Are goals egotistical? Let’s see...
So as I was working today I had the thought that goals may somehow actually be egotistical, meaning a projected false self-image. Sometimes we use our goals as our security blanket to try to prove something innate about what type of person we must be. I mean, as a man thinketh so is he, right? Or said differently, as a man has a goal so is he.
Working towards goals shows character but goals alone do not prove anything. Anyone can blow smoke out their butts with lofty goals but real heros and heroins put their money where their mouth is and capitalize on opportunity as it collides with preparation.
Even though simply having a goal does not equal reality, goals are good. Small goals are better on your ego than big ones in the short run. Big goals are important but not as important as small actions day in and day out as habits of success. Sometimes we think that having a goal is as admirable as if we had actually already achieved it. After-all, aren’t some goals more praiseworthy than others?
Goals do need to be inflated in a way in order to stretch you but you need to realize that it may mean that you have to change who you are to achieve them. Goals are a commitment to change. If they weren’t you would currently be living the reality captured by them.
