The Power of Strength

Strength: Ability to be still and hold my center when I am in chaos; allows me to stick with Divine Ideas.

Your success, however you define it, is just one idea away. Creative Spirit, God, Divine Order, whatever you believe to be a higher power in your life, feeds you with Divine Ideas. Are you listening? Are you acting on these Divine Ideas? Do you have the strength to choose a course of action and stick with it?

Your center is the Christ within you. That consciousness sees the order in a raging storm, the order in a community of people, and the Divine Order of the Universe. Chaos is a micro-view that we take of certain events in our lives, and it is a way that we treat ourselves. We sometimes choose to see ourselves in chaos, by letting our thoughts run rampant and out of control.

When we pray for strength, we are praying to be calm, to be the eye of the storm, to know that everything is fundamentally in order.

True strength lies in living in the very moment, not in the past and not in the future. The mistake we often make is that we live, not in the present where all things are possible, but in the moments just past. We see ourselves as broke, tired, sick and lonely, when those states of being are simply the culmination of all we have thought in the past.

Think of this: each word you read, as you move along the page, moves from the present to the past with each moment. The next word, just like the next moment of your life, is undetermined. You create each next moment based on the thoughts you are holding right now, in this moment. Want to change your life? Change your thoughts - right now. Find something, a dream, a purpose, an ambition, and then stick to it. Choose something that lights a fire within your heart. Choose something that provides peace, joy and abundance for all people.

As Neale Donald Walsh says, "There is no blackboard in the sky with your purpose written on it. Your purpose is what you say it is. Your mission is the mission you give yourself. Your life is what you create it to be.

Find your passion, focus your thoughts, be still within your center and know that all is well.
