Have you watched those Olympic races where the difference
between first and second place is a mere fraction of a second? That slight
difference is everything. Similarly, the
difference between average and unique is small, as small as a variation in
attitude. We all use the same creative intelligence, and how we use it produces
a slight distinction between great and average.
It doesn’t matter if we are fast
thinkers, or slow thinkers, extroverted or introverted, it seems. What matters is that we let our thinking land
solidly on what we desire for life. Add conviction and the warmth of emotion to
our thinking, and the direction we choose for our lives begins to take form.
We have a choice. We have the ability, and right, to take
charge of our inner lives. We can
mindfully, and repeatedly dwell upon a vision of something larger, more
expressive, and more beautiful than what we experience now.
The Science of Mind teaching challenges the idea that we are
controlled only by forces outside of us and encourages us to take into account
that we can direct our thinking, adopt new attitudes, and visualize a
greater-yet-to-be. Imagine if we no longer accepted the idea that time, age,
gender, social status, and forces beyond our control determined our attitude
towards life.
What would it be like if
you took time daily to so thoroughly immerse yourself in an image of a good for
your life, a good for your family and loved ones, a good for your nation, that it
felt as natural to you to accept that image as it is for others to accept the idea
that they are trapped and stuck by the way things are.
Inspired by the writings of Dr. Robert H. Bitzer
