Self-Fulfilling Truth

Self-fulfilling truth is very important especially in the social realm. If you have been floundering in the social scene, self-fulfilling truth may be the culprit. So what is a self-fulfilling truth anyway? A self-fulfilling truth is any belief which is not based on facts, but what an individual believes to be true. Now don’t get this wrong, a self-fulfilling truth cannot, ever, under any circumstances, ignore the facts. Those truths which ignore facts are doomed to certain disaster and failure. When it comes to truth we have some discretion though, a gray area so to speak, to form beliefs before all the facts are in. When someone believes others like them before others have even met them, this is a positive self-fulfilling truth which promotes assertive sociable behavior. Keep in mind, personal truths are subjective, as they are based on individual perceptions, and are not based on facts, but beliefs. These personal truths help you to bridge gaps or gray areas, and help to deal with the unknown bravely. Just remember, self-fulfilling truths come in both positive and negative varieties. Choosing your self-fulfilling truths carefully makes certain they will promote outcomes you desire.

Capitalizing Potential

Separate facts from truth-Take some time and consider those beliefs you consider fact, and have acted on. Ask the question: are they really facts, or are they personal truths? If they are facts, great, and if they are truths this is okay too. The important thing is you know the difference and separate facts from personal truths.
Identify self-fulfilling truths-Through separating facts from truths you should have an idea of your own personal truths. Some of your truths are more than likely positive and supporting your successful efforts, but others are probably negative and working against you. Identifying the negative from the positive truths will enable you to change or completely eliminate them.
Change unfulfilling truths- By identifying your self-fulfilling truths you will be in a better position to change unfulfilling truths. This means identifying, and minimizing the effects of any negative or destructive truths, and maximizing your positive and constructive self-fulfilling truths. Doing so ensures your self-fulfilling truths are always positive, constructive and support your intentions.

Principled Philosophy

Infallible Conscience

The power of our minds to make correct decisions in our lives is without question, but its power pales compared to the conscience. Making sound decisions consistently is a matter of knowledge, practice and experience. It is a very fluid process and must take change into account to be effective. Without up-to-date information the accuracy of decisions can be in question, often resulting in very poor conclusions. An intact conscience on the other hand is not plagued with such a high degree of relativity. In fact, conscience is one of the most consistent sources of information available to the individual. Although its conclusions are trustworthy under any circumstance many prefer to ignore it, at their own peril of course. Not only is the conscience able to infallibly calculate lightening fast conclusions, but it has the power to enhance or impede the mind and body’s ability to carry them out efficiently. Anyone who has tried to act contrary to the conscience knows how difficult it can be to carry out even the simplest of activities. The wise person knows it is in their best interest to act in harmony with their conscience at all times.

Capitalizing Potential

Identify conflicts-If you have been experiencing bouts with the conscience identifying the areas of conflict is the first step towards resolution. As long as a conflict exists, personal power will be dampened and inhibited. Resolving conflict entails paying attention and listening to the substance of what is being communicated to you by the conscience.
Shift thinking-Obviously, if the conscience is working against you some aspect of your thinking will have to change. It may be a shift in your motives, feelings, or desired outcomes. If your conscience sees a conflict in any of these in comparison to your values harmony will be disrupted, as it will inhibit flow, and continuity. A shift which promotes alignment with values will alleviate the disharmony.
Change behavior-Although most see behavior as strictly actions, the conscience sees motives, feelings and actions as links in a single chain. If a single link is out of place, and a value rule has been broken a red flag goes up, and flow is disrupted. Tune into the conscience to discover the source of the conflict, it will tell you where the conflict is, and then change the inappropriate behavior.

Thinking Mastery

With all the venues where no power can be exerted except by a limited few, the realm of thinking is still the kingdom of personal mastery. Thinking mastery is the gateway for the development of character and ultimately individual destiny. To embark on the path of thinking mastery requires full awareness of the present moment. This is one of the most commonly underdeveloped qualities. So much time is spent in autopilot or in a semi-conscious state that most opportunity to master thought slips away. The problem with hypnotic thoughts is they flow right into the sub-conscious mind without any challenge whatsoever. Doesn’t matter if the thought is true or false, fact or fiction, real or bizarre, as all of them slide right in and make themselves at home in the deeper mind. With them they bring their own individual meanings and create the frames of reference which will directly affect your personal power, and expression. Thinking mastery begins with maintaining awareness in the present moment, not in the past or the future.

Capitalizing Potential

Questioning-When you are in the present moment you can question the validity of any thought which is proposed by the conscious mind. This will prevent it from slipping by the gatekeeper and giving you trouble later. If you just accept a thought on its face value you allow it unchallenged entrance to your long term memory, and this is not a good strategy.
Framing-To frame a thought or number of thoughts is to give them the most powerful context possible. In other words, what is the most beneficial perspective you can take regarding a thought in relation to your current circumstance or environment. Properly framing thoughts will transform them so they may be expressed in the most powerful manner possible.
Empowering-The purpose of thinking mastery is to create thoughts in your sub-conscious mind which will have the most meaning and power in your life. There is no useful function for weak or self-defeating thoughts. These thoughts will only compete with your powerful thoughts and undermine progress. Empowering involves giving your most meaningful thoughts maximum power.

“You are the master of your thought, the molder of your character, the maker and shaper of your condition, environment and destiny.” James Allen

Principled Philosophy

Living Free

The art of living free is to live well. Living a life where grief, fear, and anxiety have been minimized is the road to living free. Where fear and its counterparts are abundant is evidence of a life of bondage, enslavement, and restriction. Living free is not a gift granted to us by someone else, but it is in fact the result of personal choice. Embracing the decision for living free changes our relationship with the world, others, and of course, ourselves. The life which is plagued with chronic fear or anxiety creates fragmented and detached relationships with others and disconnects us from our environment. When fear dominates our thinking it thrusts us into a defensive mode which is highly judgmental and reactive. Subsequently, creativity and flow are interrupted and true perspective is lost. No longer are circumstances and people seen with pure eyes, and open hearts. Our motive instead becomes survival, and our intention is to break free from that which threatens our being. Subsequently, a vicious cycle of tension-release is created. Harmony with our surroundings and others is only possible through living above the tension-release cycle created by fear.

Capitalizing Potential

Soulful reflection-Living free is a life based on knowledge, especially the knowledge of self. Finding your core is essential for discovering who you are so you can make the distinction what you are not. This is possible only through your consistent and honest soulful reflections.
Housecleaning-A lot of fearful inessentials in life can become attached to your psyche, and create bondage in your life. Identifying them is the first step toward exposing, detaching, and rejecting them. In this way their negative influence over your life can effectively be brought to an end.
Self-Empowerment- Courage is the foundation of self-empowerment and for effectively living free. All other qualities are only possible when courage is present and is allowed to be expressed. Truly living free begins the moment you give yourself permission to be brave, daring, and strong in your life.

“Is freedom anything else than the power to live as we choose?” Frank Haddock

Monetizing Expression

When you have money and you use it, whether you realize it or not you are monetizing personal expression. Many say that “money is power” and this is true, but its power is only as powerful as the personality utilizing it. Just like an artist with a canvas and paintbrush, money is the medium which materializes form and shape giving birth to ideas. Now it can be a masterpiece or a piece of junk, profitable, or unprofitable, but either way it is the direct expression of the artist. Money is a tool wielded by the possessor. It doesn’t take a genius to produce a painting, children do it all the time, but what will be the quality or value of it? The same goes for someone with money. They can invest their money or open a business, but will it ultimately be profitable? Mega lottery winners consistently find themselves flat broke within 5 years, ending up right back where they started. The bottom line is it takes much more than paint to produce a masterpiece and it takes more than just money to be a successful businessperson. Money doesn’t make you successful until you are able to effectively express yourself successfully through money. How you monetize your expressions distinctly reflects who you are as a person.

Capitalizing Potential

Motivation-The driving force behind your actions play a key role in forming your intentions and the final outcome. Profit certainly may appear to be your surface motivation, but what deeper incentive lies beneath the veneer? Knowing your true motives will ensure a more direct route to success.
Intention-A driving purpose will always guide the process of expressing yourself through money more efficiently. Keep in mind, what you intend on accomplishing is merely a projection of some specific aspect of yourself. Have you identified what aspect it is, and the purpose behind it?
Outcome-Knowing where the trail ends is an important aspect for planning how to get there. It is how you will know you have reached the finish line. Think for a moment; when all has been said and done, and you step back and look at what has been accomplished, what do you want it to say about you?
