Minding Those Out-Of-Control Passions
Nov 15th
We favour some things often beyond even our own known reason. We want others to know this joy that we’ve experienced – not thinking they’re different to us; confused are we when they wonder why we brought ‘this’ to them.
So much do we elevate these passions of ours at times and we truly wonder what’s wrong with people that they don’t feel the at least similarly – that they can’t hear a song with the same wonder we do, or get the same significance out of a quote or piece of news that just captured our attention.
Checking Our Passions
God gives us our very own identity such that others don’t have to agree with us in our passionate understanding of a thing. This is good for them and for us. There’s no pressure to conform. For ourselves, then, we’re blessed and privileged with a very personal view of the world that requires not one single other person’s agreement or approval.
The very fact that we can and do have our passions and we’re free to have them and express them however we like – within bounds of the law and morality – is an enormous liberty for all of us.
Sometimes, however, our passions go beyond where they should and they bend too far. We stand to lose our credibility and even friendships because our passion reaches an extreme level. Sometimes it gets beyond a joke and seriousness suddenly enters the equation.
Bringing in Some Needed Balance
None of us can subsist in life without much needed balance. When we’ve seriously lost our balance in one aspect of life and it surrounds a particular passion we’re commended for taking some time out to reflect.
Reflecting on balance is the exercise of wisdom and discernment over our lives. It’s helping us to determine where we’re at right now, based on the ‘evidence,’ and it’s also helping us navigate to safer, less conspicuous ground. None of us it would seem likes negative attention – not deep down.
At last this comes down firstly to awareness – being honest with ourselves – and then having the courage to act, which again will require the honesty of accountability to follow through on what we’ve agreed with ourselves.
Positive Passions
When we’re passionate about things in positive ways they lead us to inspirational ends; both for ourselves and others. These are passions that make a difference in our world, like the admirable passion or developing a skill that is finely honed.
It seems these passions can be ‘bent’ a long way and they still do not appear out of place. They just accentuate the candour of people’s admiration.
It is true insight to know the difference between those passions that impassion only us versus those that impassion the entire world.

Brain Wave Entrainment Techniques Can Change Your Mind For The Better!
Oct 10th
Can you really control your thoughts? If there is something causing you to focus on a major problem in your life you may think it is impossible. Although you can stop yourself from acting on every thought it is a different matter when it comes to stopping yourself thinking about something in particular. Your thoughts have more power than you realize. Constantly thinking about something causes you to follow that course of action. Your actions follow your thought patterns in your mind. Therefore, by constantly having a negative attitude towards life you will attract those things to happen causing a fulfilling prophecy which reinforces your view and you will eventually end up being known as the person with a negative attitude, which is not a pleasant thought.
Controlling your mind can be achieved with a great deal of practice. Similar to your physical health, you need constant exercise to attain your optimum weight. This can not be achieved overnight. You need a change of outlook on life and a readjustment of your personality.When an unwanted thought comes into your mind try to instantly replace it with a positive one. Your mind can only process one thought at a time so by doing this you will slowly reprogramme your pattern of thought and consequently your actions.
To help switch your pattern of thought you may find watching television or reading a book helps especially if you need to stop it immediately. Some people believe that tiring yourself by thinking about an unwanted thought can help in breaking the habit. This entails penalising yourself every single time you do anything opposite to your ultimate goal.
Try this, next time you feel yourself thinking about anything unpleasant, make a mark on a piece of paper. Mount the paper so that every time you break your word you can go to it and make another mark. Following this procedure, you will soon discover the inconvenience of having to get up and make another mark. Although this is not an easy exercise, it will give you an extra boost from having to make an effort.
Remember, your problems will only last as long as you allow them to. There is no doubt, ridding yourself of negative thoughts requires a great deal of patience, but if you can make an attempt to alter your way of thinking, it won’t be long before you find yourself master of your thoughts and emotions.. Many successful people have achieved their success by doing this and by maintaining their focus on the goal they set themselves.
So take control of your mind and start ignoring any problems and pain inflicted by others.Don’t allow them to have the control over you, but maintain a singularity of purpose. Acknowledge where you are at this moment in time and love yourself above all else. You will not be able to love others, or to attract the love of others without first loving yourself. If you ignore past influences and look to the future you will be able to make a positive future for yourself.
Once you realize that your future is what you make of it, as long as you approach life with a positive thought in your mind, your future will turn out to be the way you want it to be. You are who you think you are and you will be who you will yourself to be. Think about it!
Self hypnosis and brain wave entrainment have helped many people to take control of their mind and sometimes this is all the support required to make the required change in consciousness to make important changes. Using these techniques your brain can be easily reprogrammed to achieve anything you desire. Sometimes a small nudge in the right direction has proved to be the turning point that has created a success out of an apparently stagnant situation. You may find this is all you need to make important changes to take back control of your own future.
