Different People See Different Worlds – Emmet Fox

Emmet Fox was such a wise man. See if you can relate to this “story”.  It made a lot of difference to me but I will comment after you read the story…..

Different People See Different Worlds

“What we experience is our own concept of things. That is why no two people see quite the same world, and why, in many cases, different people see such different worlds. To put it in another way, we make our own world by the way in which we think; for we really do live in a world of our own thoughts. It follows from this that if our thinking is faulty, our conditions must be faulty too until our thinking is corrected; and that it is useless to try to improve outer things if we leave our own mentality unchanged.

We see inharmony because of a spiritual lack within ourselves. As we gain greater spiritual understanding, the true Nature of Being opens up. As long as we move from one place to another in search of harmony, or try to bring it about by changing outer things, we won’t succeed.”

Right now things at work could be, let’s say, “better” as I’m having to deal with people that are from different organizations, different parts of the country and with little experience in what they are talking about. In fact, today I realized that my tolerance/patience lasted about 1 hour 50 minutes in a 2 hour meeting.

Trying to communicate with some of these folks who like to hear themselves talk is bothering me. And yet, I am creating more of this by my thoughts (most of which I won’t repeat here) and when I was deciding what to post about I thought of this and have set about changing my thoughts and ideas realizing that each player involved is coming at this from a different perspective – a “different world”.

How is this affecting you in your everyday world? Can you think of circumstances that can be appropriately changed when you realize that you’re both in different worlds?

Where Are You With Your Goals?

Ok, it’s more than half way through January so I’m wondering where you are with your goals? Or maybe you didn’t set any goals at the beginning of the year? Maybe you’re still working on setting them? Maybe you’re still working on goals you set last year?

I am just asking you to look at your life and where you are and where you want to be. I know that I’m doing pretty well with my goals this year because I simplified them and I was very specific. In addition, I looked at last year and saw that I was all over the map trying to do this, trying to do that and that it didn’t work.  So, this year I narrowed everything down and decided that what I needed most was to focus. Then my job was to decide what I wanted to focus on. Once I did that, I was able to march along without the usual confusion in my mind.

What about you? Do you know where you’re going? Did you actually set goals or just those pesky New Year’s Resolutions? People in the gym business love New Years because their memberships skyrocket. But reports show that by March those well-intentioned people no longer faithfully attend (if they attend at all). That’s because they are resolutions, not well though out and planned goals.

Take a moment to think where you are right now. Let us know in the comment box what’s worked and what hasn’t worked.

Using Words to Frame Your Subconscious

Today’s post is from Judy Williamson, Director of the Napoleon Hill  World Learning Center. As you read it, you’ll see all the same concepts that we teach here at Getting Unstuck, LLC.

Just as food coloring can make a dish more appetizing or less appealing, our choice of words can color our world. Thinking positively requires a student of success to practice using words that have positive connotations. Whether we feel it is a beautiful day outside or not, by saying so we condition our minds to find the beauty in the moment. Lamenting the bad weather, cursing the cold, using terminology that intimidates, all make our world a less inviting place. Have you ever looked at a single flower and found it to be absolutely exquisite only to hear someone else complain that it wasn’t a full blown bouquet? Or, have you ever gone to the beach and witnessed a striking sunset that could have been a Van Gogh, Renoir, or Monet painting (your choice) only to have someone look down at this moment of splendour and decry the smelly fish washed up on the beach? Beauty is definitely where you find it.

Neutral words do not impact us. They do not position us in one direction or another. They leave us smack in the middle of wherever we find ourselves. Positive word choices, however, help us become winners. They ease our way into a home run, completing a marathon, and becoming the best version of ourselves we choose to be.

Don’t Know Where To Begin?

Are you stuck and don’t know where to begin?

There are several ways to deal with this. You can search on the site and look at the posts that come up and see if they will help.

You can join EverydayNewThought membership site where everything we’ve ever done is located.

You can pick up your copy of  The Art of Making Things Happen.

If you flip around from website to website in metaphysics, you’ll find various thoughts and ideas but many of them revolve around the Law of Attraction. Unfortunately, that is NOT the only Universal Law you need to know about. It works great for some people but for others, the results are not what they expect or want.  Is that because the Law of Attraction doesn’t work?

No, the Law of Attraction always works!

The reason the results might not be what you want is because of what you’ve set up before and what you’ve already created in your life and more importantly what your beliefs are.

You MUST understand all the Universal Laws to make your life go as smoothly as you want.

The Art of Making Things Happen” helps you take the proper steps – at the right point in time.
