“Many of us fear failure without realizing that we make little mistakes and tiny failures each day, in the process of living and learning. We drop things, we fail to find something we’re looking for, say or do something we could have done better.

We have also experienced larger, more noticeable mistakes or failures that seem to have bigger consequences. But how can we know for certain that these failures aren’t blessings in disguise, leading us to greater accomplishment?”

Dan Millman, in “Living on Purpose”

“When you find yourself judging others harshly, remember that your upset is not about them. It’s about you not being able to forgive and love yourself because you are holding that judgment inside of you. If in the past you were humiliated for being “stupid,” then you might create judgments against stupidity in order to cover your invalidation and loss of love for having been “stupid” yourself. You end up blaming “stupid” for your pain. Those who fit that same judgment of “stupid’ threaten to reopen you to the pain within YOU, so you chase them away by judging THEM. Let it be all right that someone once judged you, for it’s really that person’s problem to solve not yours. Those who create judgments must live with them and endure their consequences, not those who are the target of judgment.”

“Whatever you tend to think about is what you will focus on, and create more of. For example, if you have some debts and some principal, and your entire focus is on what you have, then you will expand your principal. If your principal is only five hundred dollars and your debts are five thousand, and you focus on the money that you have, you will begin to do something with it. Whatever you do with it in a positive way will help it to expand.

Conversely, if you focus all of your thoughts on you indebtedness, always reminding yourself how poor you are, and making that the locus of your emotional life, that is precisely what you will expand. This is very clear when it comes to minor illnesses. If you focus on your cold, always talking about it, always complaining to everyone you meet about how lousy you feel, you will expand what you focus on. That is, your energy will flow to the cold that you are so proud of. But if you focus on all of you that is not sick, and tell others how great you feel, you will expand wellness.”

“Consistency means deciding what you want and holding on to your intention until your dream is met. You must be committed to your goal even though it seems a long way off. Imagine for a moment that you want to be an architect, but you do not have enough money to pay for your college tuition. Focus! You would support your intention greatly by buying books and visiting great architectural buildings and studying on your own in the library. You would be moving toward your goal even if you do not have the money at this time to materialize your dream. By concentrating on what is in front of you, rather than the total picture, you eventually get what you want.”

Stuart Wilde, in “Affirmations”

“The belief in aging is a psychological ‘clock’ that translates into biology for a subscriber to that belief. The average human body clock programs cells to divide, diminish and die, therefore creating a limited lifespan. The human clock is based in chronology, in linear time. Lately, due to dimensional energies being more coherent and to increased awareness, time feels faster to us. From the Soul level, this brings greater emotional experience in every moment, but from an imbalanced human perspective it tends to speed up the clock.

In other words, lately it might feel like we are running out of time. This is one of the reasons for such an expansion of the cosmetic surgery industry and all sorts of ways of making the body look younger. On the social scale, there is urgency (and even a low-level panic) about getting old, and a resolve to do whatever is possible to stop it. But since the idea of the clock is based in victim consciousness, the clock cannot be stopped. It can only be discarded. The biology of aging is created by a belief, which is a conceptual level program.

A perfect blueprint of health contains another program, the one for cellular regeneration. But it is only accessible when social, genetic, and karmic patterns are not overriding our curiosity for life. Curiosity fuels cellular regeneration. The more curious we are, the more passion we have, the more desire to live, the more vitality and health, which in turn makes us younger.”
