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.

Change is Constant

Life is a constant flow of change. We regularly observe the sun rising and setting, the moon traversing the sky through the night, old age following youth, autumn following winter, a seed becoming a sapling and then a tree, a river flowing and changing its course constantly, and the hands of the clock changing positions. The story of change goes on endlessly.

"Everyone and everything is on it's way somewhere" - movie 'Phenomenon'
"You're either busy living or busy dying" - movie 'Shawshank Redemption'

Clock time is nothing but an imaginary concept to relate to and comprehend the process of change.


Time has its existence only in the present moment. It's the change that flows, so go with the flow!

Time

Imagine there is a bank that credits $86,400 to your account each morning.  Every evening, whatever portion of the balance you fail to use is deleted. What would you do, draw out every cent and use it well, of course!!

Each of us has such a bank - It's name is TIME.  Each morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds.  Invest the day's deposit well or the loss is yours.  How can you bring the most contentment, happiness, and benefit to yourself and others? Remember that 7-8 hours of sleep is a good investment in building energy, then remember that the clock is running!   - Unknown

It takes Faith AND Action

Book of James:
Faith by itself, without action, is dead.

Sources of Power

We have only three sources of Power:

• Time
• Energy
• Money

to accomplish all that we want for our life.  These all come from God/Universal Spirit/Original Source.  Make sure you're in alignment with that Eternal Good, and take care to protect your time, energy and money. That takes proactive thought and positive choices.  Every time you say YES to one thing, you're also automatically saying NO to something else, even if you're not aware of it at the time. Always choose what is best in the long term, not the short term. That's the true mark of maturity.
