be a doer


You must be doers of the law of assumption, for without application the most profound understanding will not produce any desired result.
Frequent reiteration and repetition of important basic truths runs through these pages. Where the law of assumption is concerned–the law that sets man free–this is a good thing. It should be made clear again and again even at the risk of repetition. The real truth seeker will welcome this aid in concentrating his attention on the law which sets him free.
The parable of the Master’s condemnation of the servant who neglected to use the talent given him is clear and unmistakable. Having discovered within yourself the key to the Treasure House, you should be like the good servants who by wise use multiplied by many times the talents entrusted to him. The talent entrusted to you is the power to consciously determine your assumption. The talent not used, like the limb not exercised, withers and finally atrophies.
What you must strive after is being. In order to do, it is necessary to be. The end of yearning is to be. Your concept of yourself can only be driven out of consciousness by another concept of yourself. By creating an ideal in your mind, you can identify with it until you become one and the same with the ideal, thereby transforming yourself into it.
The dynamic prevails over the static; the active over the passive. One who is a doer is magnetic and therefore infinitely more creative than any who merely hear. Be among the doers.
-Neville Goddard, The Power of Awareness

“Every moment is a new beginning.” - Elie Wiesel If there are things in your life that you are not aligned with your authentic Self, you have the ability to change them. As Wiesel shares with us, every moment is an opportunity to change the direction of your Pursuit. You can choose to use these new beginnings as an opportunity to move closer to your authentic life. Or, you can choose to use these new beginnings as an opportunity to keep heading down the same path you’re on and living a life...

I hope your summer is off to a great start. It's been busy for us, but this past week we got a short reprieve as Leo's soccer season ended last week and Roman's summer basketball is in between high school ball and the return of AAU. I used the extra time to finish writing my portion of a collaborative book from The AGC™ (the community for financial advisors I co-founded), which included not only my own chapter but also writing a narrative voice to connect the various sections of the book....

“The making of art is not a competitive act. Our work is representative of the self.” -Rick Rubin I know Rick is writing about “art” but this is true of everything you do, and I could argue that everything you do has the opportunity to be a creative act. When you approach anything in life in a way that is true to your Self, you are doing something in a way that no one else can do–a representation of your Self. In this representation of your Self lies your strength, advantage, and most...
