Seven Inspired Thoughts

While it can be easy in a given moment or situation to find the despair, or frustration or anger; there are those who reach time and again for a better feeling thought. As they do, there is frequently an unearthing of genuine wisdom and heartfelt certainty. Our lives are constantly open for interpretation - primarily by ourselves. I consistently remind patients their reality is birthed from perception, which arises from belief, which is born of a thought. Ergo, the next time you find yourself feeling despairing, or frustrated or angry; revisit the situation and find a better thought. You'll find it can be just as easy to assume the best in someone than to imagine the worst. In essence, thinking the better thought means telling a better story. A better story creates a better life and...I think you can see the pattern.

Geniuses throughout time represent those to whom we revere as great masters of thought, belief and creation. They may not all have been masters of pure intelligence, rather they imagined the world in a newer, better way. The word genius is derived from the root genui, "to bring into being, create, produce." Genius shares the same root origin as Genisis, the Biblical story of creation. You, I and all of us share the same spark of genius. To find the confidence to express ones own genius is to find inspiration for life. What are you waiting for? Will you be the next great genius? It always starts with a thought. Thinking better thoughts creates truer beliefs which produce inspired lives.

     - Walter Russell

We Are Once In A Lifetime

I recently asked myself what it truly means to have a mission in life. For my clinic, having a mission means evaluating and re-evaluating what each patient encounter should look and feel like, having the right feel to the physical space in the office and focusing on the outcomes we desire to create in each patient.

 

The following is Alive With Energy Clinic's "Statement of Purpose." It is the heart of the very nature for why we exist.  As I read this statement each morning I often feel a tear of gratitude for the many people and situations that have brought me to this moment. I am blessed to be living my dreams, serving from my heart and impacting not just the world of today but the world of many generations to come.

My challenge to you is to begin to craft your own Statement of Purpose. Please use the following as a model if need be. It may help to put on inspiring music or to begin by focusing upon the moments in your life where there was undeniable synchronicity leading you to your inspired destiny.
