Be content and create

The more we seem to consume, accumulate and have, the more unhappy we become.

Jesus wisely said something like this…for those who believe they have it all, more will come and for those who believe they don’t, more will be taken away.

Essentially, the more we seek to fulfil our lack with consumption of things, content, stuff etc the more dissatisfied we become. In fact, for many, it has gone way beyond dissatisfaction, it is depression, mental illness and addiction,

For those who are grateful for all they have and live a life of abundance only consuming what they really, really need and starting from a position of joy, gratitude and satisfaction, attract more of the same through their accepting positive outlook.

When we are in a mindset of creating and not consuming we gain a soulful connection with our true essence. We are creators all of us. We reach consciousness, joy and fulfilment. We live instead of existing in an unconscious mind-state of obsessive discontent created by our perceived lack.

Be content and create.

Why does integrity matter?

Posted on by philipdodson

When we say to another person that we are going to do something and then we don’t after a while of keep doing that we lose our integrity and others will not trust our word. They will feel that we do not care for them and that we are not a reliable person who will show up for them.

When we say inside to ourselves that we are going to do something and we don’t, it is just as damaging, in fact, it is the cause of our lack of keeping our word externally. We then are not showing up for ourselves, so we can never show up for others. We can never genuinely give to others what we do not give to ourselves.

It always starts with how we treat ourselves, if we have internal integrity, then it will be replicated in the external world.

Better to not say we will do anything than to say we will and then we don’t.

It is a habit that is easily changed. We just need to set ourselves one commitment each day inside and then do it. Do that process for a week, and then add another thing, and so on,

Changing habits takes one step at a time repeatedly over a long enough period to form a new habit.

We are not broken, we don’t need fixing, and we are worthy always, however, if we want to show up in our own life and that of others, we have to commit to being true to our word.
