This Week's FREE Self-Help Seminar

Today's Reflection

Plenty of people believe that a clear state of mind is all that it takes to create a wonderful life.  Many books extol the virtues of clarity of mind and, indeed, such clarity and presence is the key to a great and effortless life.  But a key on its own is useless – keys are only useful if you open a door with them!  Look around this website, there is an abundance of information on the importance of a clear mind, there is a wealth of practical tips on how to cultivate that clear state of mind.  But a clear state of mind demands that you use it – with that key, not only do you have to open the door, you’ve got to walk through it.

Action is the only thing that will change your life.  There is no point in developing your clear state of mind and then sitting around waiting for something to happen.  Life’s not like that – you’ve got to take the lead.

In a clear state of mind it will become obvious to you as to what action you need to take.  Some of that action may go against the grain – some may well be unpalatable.  The actions required to change your life for the better will inevitably require that you get out of your comfort zone (or, should I say, not too uncomfortable zone) – if you don’t take the obvious actions you will live to regret it! 

Perhaps, you’ve already failed to take appropriate action and you already have regrets.  It’s time to get over your regrets – they may present you with learning experiences but, in the here and now, regrets are no more than useless thoughts that are sapping your energy.

So work hard to develop your clarity and presence of mind – but the proof of the pudding is in the eating, you’ve got to follow through on the resultant insights and take the real action that will move you onwards and upwards to the kind of effortless happiness and success that we all deserve.
