A Mind Fully Focused

A Mind Fully Focused

2/10/17

Friday

That’s another definition of mindfulness,

“A mind fully focused.”

But what does that mean?

Fully focused.

How do I do it?

It’s not being just a little focused.

I have to be really focused.

This is going to take some doing

How do I acquire that skill?

I don’t know, but you’ll figure it out.

What’s the value of being so focused?

Where will it take us?

What will it enable us to do? 

Perhaps it will help us accomplish our goals.

Or whatever we wish to accomplish.

Is  mindfulness

Doing or being?

Is it an active or passive skill?

Do I want it?

Will it be worthwhile?

We have a lot to learn.

We might be able to get a little help,

But mainly it will be up to us

To figure it out and teach ourselves.

That’s the way to learn.

We posed a lot of questions above.

Answer them

And you will have learned how to be mindful.

It’s the same Program but with Different Goals

It’s the same Program but with Different Goals

1/23/17

Monday

The same program that gets us out of anxiety,

Keeps us free of anxiety.

It’s almost miraculous.

One frees us from anxiety,

The other keeps us free of anxiety.

One makes us healthy,

The other keeps us healthy.

As long as we persevere

In working our anxiety programs

We’ll be successful.

Growth must be sustained

By continuing to focus on healthy living.

If we’re not moving forward,

We’re likely going backward,

And then our anxiety will return.

To stay anxiety free,

We need to continue freedom’s journey,

It’s freedom from anxiety.

Freedom Is worth the effort

And so are we.

The programs are called

The Anxiety Solutions Program,

And the Healthy Living Program.

They are one and the same.

And they represent freedom from anxiety’s misery.

Remaining Positive

Remaining Positive

“Remaining positive all the time,”

What a wonderful goal that would be.

The negative way gets you nowhere,

Only the positive way is acceptable.

Make that your choice. 

Remaining positive is a challenge!

My main concern, 

Should not be 

How someone else reacts,

But how I react.

Being negative is not acceptable.

It’s no way to treat anyone,

No way to treat the children of God,

Not to mention God.

All must be shown love.

The positive way

Is the only way to treat God.

My ultimate focus

Is on loving God.

There’s no other way.

Believe in your Wisdom

It’s really like believing in yourself,

Believing that you do have wisdom within you,

And that you are capable of accumulating wisdom,

And making wise decisions.

We all have the capability to learn.

We have to decide to do the right thing,

That’s wisdom,

We have to make it our goal.

And remember,

God is the man with all the wisdom.

Ask Him to make you a wise man or woman.

He will do it, If you ask.

He will do it

Because he wants us to be wise,

And he will give us the wisdom we need

To become a wise human being.

What more would you want to be?

Book Introduction

Happiness

The Goal of All My Blogs

Happiness

Is the goal of all my blogs,

Of every poem I write.

What more is there?

What goal could be more delightful?

What more could I desire?

Could anything exceed it?

Happiness

That’s what God is.

Here is a beautiful definition of God.

He is Love, Peace and Happiness.

You can never be truly happy

Without love and peace.

Happiness is God,

And is always accompanied with love and peace.

Find One

And you find them all.

The three bring heaven to earth.

Let Peace and Calm Replace Anxiety

God is Peace

Don’t you want to be at peace?

If so, be peaceful.

Make it a goal,

And you will be like God,

Because God is peace.

Do you want to be calm?

Calm is your inner peace.

You must find it in the God within you,

Or within you under a different name.

The name doesn’t matter.

You matter.

And it matters that you find it,

It is within you.

You need it, we all need it,

And we need to develop it.

We can’t get along without peace.

It’s your treasure within.

Imagine yourself

With greater peace and calm.

What a beautiful person

You will have become.

The Search for Wisdom

The Search for Wisdom

Tuesday

Anxiety Reduction Month

The Search for Wisdom

It brings us closer to the Truth,

Closer to the Source of all that is,

Closer to the possessor of all wisdom.

Wisdom is our goal,

The accumulation of knowledge, experience,

And understanding.

Search for it!

What better could you possess?

But, to do so,

You may need a guide,

Our Guide,

The spirit within each one of us.

And that word “spirit” means “breath”.

Each breath you take

Signifies the Spirit that dwells within you,

The Holy Spirit.

Search for that Spirit,

And you will find wisdom.

Search for wisdom,

And you will find the Spirit.

He is the spirit of life,

The breath within you.

He is our guide.

Take a deep breath!

And you will find Wisdom.
