"Commitment is deciding the price is worth paying for the goal that will be achieved" - Rev Michael Foss.
The idea of commitment is easy, but doing it is hard - That's because commitment is one of those things that really doesn't take hold until it's difficult.

Power of Prayer, Right Thinking and Right Action
Prayer forms a part of all religions, whether in Buddhism, Hinduism, Chritianity, Islam, Judaism, etc. Many pray to God even without committing to any one religion. Beneath the outer layers of form and ritual, prayer is the KEY to spirituality. It is the sincere intention that matters the most. The mere attempt at getting closer to God is 'our part'.
God already wants the best for us all the time, so praying is to convince US, not God! When we even make the attempt to communicate with the Holy Spirit, we can feel It inside - if we are just quiet and breathe and TRY.
If we want to be happy, we must then work to bring our thinking and behavior more in alignment with what our intuition/Spirit Guide tells us is a Godly life. Combined with prayer, choosing what we KNOW is best for all, what is beautiful, the truth; our lives can be re-shaped into 'the light' of unconditional love and harmony, so that we can be happy joyous and free.
I see now how past difficulties were lessons in patience, wisdom, compassion, self-understanding and the universal laws of life. I see the bigger picture. All my experiences, good and "bad', were teaching me about myself and life (and still are!). I know that more is always being revealed, if I am diligent in praying and looking for the lesson.
Wherever you are now in your life's journey; blessings, peace and harmony. May your adventure be a wonderful one!

Acting on Ideas
Adapted from Leslie Flowers, http://www.pathsofchange.com/
You get an idea. It's a good one. You spend time creating it in your mind, considering how it would look and how you would feel once it comes to fruition. How would you make the world a better place with it? You do some research and talk to others. You are getting excited. You are about ready to start ... and then, Lo and behold, someone else not only had the SAME idea, but while you were pondering ... they got into action!
Remember: None of our ideas belong to any one of us! They are gifts from the Universe.
Everyone has access to all ideas based on their level of awareness. If one person doesn't act, another one will. Undoubtedly you have had this happen to you at least once -- a new invention or idea is publicized and you say "Hey, I had that idea last year!"
You didn't ACT; someone else did. An idea ignites all physical manifestations. Everything is really created twice: First in an IDEA, then in physical form.
Ideas are spiritual seeds which require human beings to nurture and grow that seed to fruition. Ideas are REAL - they have the power within them to manifest in physical form.
Ideas flow from the Universe, to and through each of us and then into physical form. We may be driving home and an idea pops into our head about something we've been thinking about. That is the seed -- the idea. If you are concerned, however, on your drive with another thought right after that, the first idea will slough off and make its way back into the Universe and flow into someone else's mind. Then they can plant the spiritual seed within their subconscious mind and move it toward manifestation in the physical plane.
All seeds take time to grow - But first we must plant them. Planting a spiritual seed/idea means creating a crystal clear image of the idea in our mind AND feeling strong emotion/enthusiasm about that idea - seeing and feeling this frequently and using that enthusiasm to start TAKING ACTION on it. The image, the emotion and starting set the universe in motion to co-create with us. It is the Law of Action and Reaction. How long it takes to come to fruition is not up to us. The Universe has a set of Laws that work all the time, every time, and keep order. Some call it God's will.
Always ask for 'X, or something better' so that you're open to God's will for you. Our loving father/mother God wants us to have the best!
So if you have an idea and are getting impatient waiting for it to manifest, remember, that idea is not yours and if you do not hold onto/focus on that image AND act on it, someone else will.
