Aim Higher Our Emotions Have The Power To Propel Us Forward Or Hold Us Back, Depending On How We Manage

Aim higher 🏹 Our emotions have the power to propel us forward or hold us back, depending on how we manage them. When we master our feelings, we maintain focus, overcome obstacles, and soar to new heights.

"Jewels of Truth" Reading From: The Wayfarer of the Soul, Volume 2

Hello All, In about a weeks time it'll be "Halloween"! I'll be wearing myself as I have for several years now, lol. I haven't worn a costume since I was a juvenile I suppose. How ghoulish of me. :op Well enough of the puns. Today's reading from my 2nd book in the "Jewels of Truth" series is on the topic of Persistence. In many ways any Innovator in the world past, present, and future worth their hydrated salt. Needs to balance their use of persistence in a cadence that makes sense to themselves and their associates. Otherwise like many projects there is a zest right out of the gate. Until motivation drops that's where the bottlenecks and the schedules start to appear by pushing backwards an agenda. When persistence starts to become forced that's when mindful surrender does not cost a loss of momentum. In order to find a workaround from any perceived or real obstacles encountered along the way. It goes without saying an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of medicine in the long run. Enjoy as always. --------------------------------------- Persistence: A steadfast persistence always goes hand in hand with the fulfillment of our desired intentions. However this persistence I speak of also needs moderation so as to flourish into our eventual goal or objective that we seek in earnest. Otherwise one can lose focus and balance by over extending ourselves in a forced manner. That warps us from our true desired wants and our dreams. An inner poise is crucial especially when we begin to doubt our resolve. This doubt is no friend of yours, but only fear based ills that are preexisting that you harbor. Do not feed them with attention, for if you do you shall continue to spoil your promise to yourself, and if not onto others you care about. Maintain a self discipline that is honest knowing your boundaries. When one loses focus it begins by over doing one thing or another to the point of a sheer madness of micro management. Allowing yourself to breathe and "Let Go" of the tiny details. Only to concern yourself of the "Big Details" and let the rest work itself out in its natural order. Like a loaf of bread in the oven the yeast within your plan will take hold and grow. Do not fuss like a over zealot maternal figure. Be still and watch how like an astute parent you watch your dream or goal blossom into maturity. This is but one path to self-fulfillment under the sun.                                                   ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Jewels of Truth: The Wayfarer of the Soul, Volume 2 pg. 127-128

The Power of Perseverance is Practice

by Dr. Jeanne Sheffield Estrada

Character is not inherited or simply obtained by being around outstanding people.  Instead, it is created by persevering through difficult problems - and overcoming them.

The Bible tells the story of people that despite circumstances, opposition, or persecution, persevered through situations that were seemingly impossible. Great characters of faith like Joseph, Moses, David - and most significantly Jesus - worked through difficulties beyond what most of us could not imagine. However, all of them eventually not only overcame but persevered to victory. Despite the challenges and suffering set before them, they persevered in the face of their severe trials and tribulations by putting into practical practice faith with persistence.

Because we live in a fallen world, problems will arise, and the unpredictably in this year of 2020 is a sobering example. The good news is that Isaiah 9:6 says that we have a great “Counselor” on our side to help us work through every obstacle and His Name is Jesus.

Perseverance takes practice performed with persistence. While we are all inundated by problems in this life, as you persist in overcoming problems that you have resolved, the better you will become at resolving them going forward, and by doing so, by default you will inherit CHARACTER.

God Bless Your Day Jesus Loves You

GROWTH MINDSET VS FIXED MINDSET

GROWTH MINDSET VS FIXED MINDSET

The Growth Mindset term was coined by American psychologist Carol Dweck . It is the belief that talent, intelligence and abilities can be cultivated through efforts whereas the Fixed mindset is the total opposite of Growth Mindset. Fixed Mindset is the belief that talent, intelligence and abilities are Fixed and cannot be changed.

A person with Growth Mindset sees efforts as a good thing and an opportunity to improve themselves whereas a person with a Fixed mindset will see hardwork as a bad thing . For example: Let's say Aria is bad at maths , she feels that math isn't her forte so she doesn't even try. She feels that she isn't intelligent enough. She believes that intelligence and math skills are Fixed. Aria has a Fixed mindset. Her mindset limits her. She will never improve or get good grades in maths with that mindset. Now let's say there is another girl Ariel , she believes that she can improve her maths by practice. She believes that if she needs to put effort to improve her math skills , it's not a bad thing and it doesn't mean that she is " dumb " . Ariel has a growth mindset. Growth Mindset is essential for success in any kind of field.

A person with Growth Mindset solve problems & persist despite obstacles. Neuroscientists believe Growth Mindset. They confirm that the brain grows like any other muscle in the body with training . A person with Growth Mindset believes we are in control of our abilities whereas a person with fixed Mindset believes that we aren't in control of our abilities. A person with Growth Mindset are focused on the process of getting better . They appreciate feedback and constructive criticism and use it to improve themselves whereas a person with fixed Mindset don't appreciate constructive criticism , they get defensive and take it personally.

"Nothing In The World Can Take The Place Of Persistence. Talent Will Not; Nothing Is More Common Than
"Nothing In The World Can Take The Place Of Persistence. Talent Will Not; Nothing Is More Common Than

"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." - Calvin Coolidge
