Powers of Mind Transcends our Resolutions

"I acknowledge that I am responsible for the current conditions in my life."

Unfortunately, at this time in our lives, many of us continue to play the New Year's resolution game. We make all types of resolutions at the beginning of the year, and watch painfully and sorrowfully  as they dissipate into our habitual toxic beliefs and values.

Nevertheless, even with this repetitive toxicity, we once again have the opportunity to begin this year with the clarity that we are responsible for the current conditions in our lives. This awareness is the starting point for all of us who desire to transcend our toxic beliefs and values.

When we accept responsibility for everything that is happening in our lives, we are able to understand the roles we have decided to play. And with this understanding comes the clarity to recognize that we play many roles during our lifetime.

Some of us have created roles that make us unhappy. We don't particularly like poverty, obesity, unemployment, indebtedness, alcohol and drug addiction, and the rudderless perspective we have on life.

In other words, we are dissatisfied with our current conditions, but have not gained the understanding that we created them. It seems to us that our conditions were created by others or some unknown force punishing us for our actions.


Similarly, most of us want to change the conditions in our lives, particularly those we abhor. Unfortunately, our desires are more wishful than wisdom based. Consequently, our roles are determined by our awareness or lack of awareness of Powers of Mind. 



It's important for us to remember that Powers of Mind is the source of our clarity to perceive ourselves and others without our toxic beliefs and values. This limitless power is greater than all of the roles we will ever create for ourselves. Moreover, while it can create an inexhaustable number of roles, it remains greater than all of them.

Whenever we make resolutions to change our habits, we must be mindful of the source of power we are using to make them. If we are consumed by toxic beliefs and values, then our results will undoubtedly create more toxicity in our minds rather than enlightenment.

On the hand, if we have worked on self-discovery, the inner-mind search for Powers of Mind, then we are fully aware that resolutions are created from a lack of understanding about the creator of the conditions in our lives.

Meanwhile, now is a good time to embrace our Powers of Mind. This power is free and unconditional. We don't have to ask another person  for permission to use it.

"I acknowledge that I have the power to change my beliefs and values."
