Consciousness Building part 3

“Habit is habit, and not to be flung out the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.” Wayne Dyer.

Let’s look at this a different way. Many of my peers, including myself, are a little rounder than we would like. Now the weight didn’t appear over night. I didn’t go to bed with a twenty year olds twenty-eight inch waist and wake up with a sixty something’s 34. Yet when it comes to losing weight, typically if it can’t be lost in a week or two we lose interest and fall back into old habits, those deeply carved patterns of thinking. Diets are hard; requiring real long-term change and different thinking patterns, while cheeseburgers are easy, requiring only fries and maybe a shake.

We choose the path, the instruction sheet we follow. The choice is always ours. 

 

Our spiritual development is a mental diet, we choose the directions to follow, the nourishment we ingest, and though eating healthy is important, a healthy mental diet is of infinitely more consequence than waist size. Years of fuzzy thinking, false belief and fear driven action do not disappear overnight, the process continues for our lifetime and though our consciousness is eternal, assembly is required, so what instruction sheet will you follow?
