This week we look at Principle #4 from Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles” entitled “Believe it’s Possible”. He states: “When you replace your old negative expectations with more positive ones—when you begin to believe that what you want is possible—your brain will actually take over the job of accomplishing that possibility for you…your brain will actually expect to achieve that outcome.” I fit into this “most people” category.
For my colorings this week, I plan to pull up some of my “wants” from #3 so that I can work on believing that they are possible. Today I looked at my goal of creating/publishing an oracle card deck from my mandalas. One phrase I heard repeatedly while I was coloring was “use what you have”. One of my blocks about this goal has been the belief that it was going to be complicated and take a lot of time and effort. This message, “use what you have”, tells me to simplify and work with what I’ve already created.
So how about you? Is there something you want that you believe is too complicated to make happen? Is there something you already have in place that you can use to jumpstart your goal? Where/What can you simplify it?
“The ability to simplify
— Hans Hofmann
means to eliminate
the unnecessary
so that the necessary
may speak.”
An Invitation
I invite you to color along with me this year as part of what I’m calling “The Year of Self-Exploration and Expansion” with all of my “Mandalas of the ___” (day, week, month, year). If you’re interested in more of a self-exploration approach to coloring, check out my “Coloring Mandalas as Meditation”. You can download this mandala at MandalaoftheWeek.com.
