You should remember each moment of your life that spirit through mind create the physical. All relationship revolve around our willing to give and receive. Receiving comes out of giving and the spirit in which we give. There are those who give out of fear, and that's not really giving. There are other who are afraid to give for fear they will lose what they have and there won't be anymore left. Well, love, respect, attention, and money, are exactly like the water in that pond: they must circulate, must flow in and out. Those people who hoard their love are takers, and taker are lonely people. And it's the same way with money. The universal law is that what you give, you give back. Give nothing and you get nothing. Fail to abide the spiritual law of circulation, and your relationships, personal or financial, become just as stagnant as that little pond.
When we see lack instead of abundance, we immediately create for ourselves a win-lose context. What most people fail to see is that, by being here on this planet they have already won. Before conception, each of us was a sperm and an egg. At the moment of conception, there was only one egg and several million sperm. Each one of these sperm was a potential person. Just think for a moment. of that potential several million, there is you! You will never again, as long as you live, undergo that kind of competetion. You ran the incredible race for life, and you made it. You won! In this sense, the planet is full or winners. Each has won the right to play the games called life.
But most people play the game of life in such a way that all of their energies are focused on avoiding loss. They put their faith in others, look to people to create their happiness and good, depend on things outside themselves for fulfillment and satisfaction and go to incredible lengths to protect their postions and to avoid what they regard as competition. Whatever I feel a lack in my life, a sense that other are getting more than I am---whether it's love, nourishment, opportunity, money, appreciation, or respect---I have the opportunity to set that I haven't accepted these abundances for myself. When I see this, I can begin to take action. I can use these feelings to raise my consciousness and discover the thing I really want in life.
What you speak your word, you are going to get a response from the universe. Whatever you put out there is absolutely what you are going to get back. If you continue to put your energy into competing with others to avoid loss, you will continue to lose. If you put your energy into stopping another, you are the one who will be stopped. When you concentrate on competing, you stop your own prosperity and creative expansion because you put aside your own individual goals and purposes.
The biggest reason for indecision is fear of not making the "right" decision. The fear is characteristic of people who have a limited purpose. When your have such an expanded purpose, you will find that many decisions, which at first seemed monumental, become small in comparison with your goal. When your purpose in life is large, your office is no longer your entire world. Your relationship with one person is not your entire life. In thie context, the failure to make the "right" decision in any given instance is not the end of the world. The significance of any decision is lessened. You can see that there are all sorts of other opportunities, and that is a faulty decision is simply a mistake, a learning experience, one you don't have to repeat.
Unfortunately, we try to make life a mystery, It's not life that is mysterious, but ourselves. As we begin to confront ourselves and become willing to say what we want to say, to go where we were to go, to do what we want to do, then the mystery is ourselves clears up. The biggest mysteries are created by the lies we tell ourselves. It is difficult to be honest with ourselves because we're programmed to feel that other won't approve. Actually, the reverse is true. The more we tell ourselves the truth, then act on that honesty, the more effective we become. When we lie to ourselves, we destroy the guideline that tell us what's supportive and what's not supportive of our purpose. Then, when a decision confronts us it becomes a hit-or-miss propostion.
We make so many decision for the wrong reason. These reasons are all tangled up in our fear. We fear we'll make the 'wrong' decision, the decision that meets with disapproval. Or, in rebellion against an authority figure, we intentionally make a decision we know will be disapproved of. We tell ourselves that we are asserting our independence, that we are not letting that authority figure influence us. Yet all the while we are making a decision "at" that person, if not "for" that person. We are not doing what we want but are, instead, doing what someone else doesn't want. Our decision, then becoming nothing more than a way to get even with those who have imposed their demands upon us.
Decision fears, of course, are compounded by the notion that, if I step outside my bounds, I'll destroy the relationship, I'll lose, be abandoned and rejected. When we give up our right to make decisions in hope that a relationship will continue, we give up the right to be who we are. The usual result is that the relationship deteriorates in direct proportion to how much of ourselves we give up. On the other hand, if we are true to ourselves and decide what we want and ask for it, a magnificent relationship is possible.Another curious block to decision making is the fear that other people will lose because of your decision. In such a situation, you think your decision might 'hurt' the seemingly helpless partner, and that, if you win, he or she loses. As you contemplate your decision, you say, "I'll hurt her", or "I'm really selfish if I do this".
