Having a positive and strong vision for the future is crucial if you want to achieve your dream life. 10 minutes a day will change your life, I promise you!
This is what I've been telling myself for over 40 years, but have failed miserably. I started, and stuck with what I call vigorous body-building over one year ago. Now, I'm beginning to see results. I've lost weight. I can now get into clothes that I couldn't get into previously. And I look better, here at age 75. I found the quote below to be very relevant:
“Keep the faculty of effort alive in you by a little gratuitous exercise every day. Do every day or two, something for no other reason than that you would rather not do it. The hell to be endured hereafter is no worse that the hell we make for ourselves in this world by habitually fashioning our characters in the wrong way.” .--"The Principles of Psychology", Vol 53, Chap IV Habit, William James, page 82 in “Britannica Great Books”
But I must still push myself. Maybe it is weakness on my part. But I've found something that motivates me. My body-building is part of my spiritual quest of becoming aligned with the will of the Universe, for lack of a better term. I've reduced all my desires into one simple concept. That is, to serve the Universe. The Universe is aware of my desires.
My daily mantra:
Above all my other desires, is my desire to FIRST realize my purpose of focusing on and serving the Universe. The manifestation of all of my desires already exists in the Universe. For me to realize the manifestation of my desires, I attract the realization by radiating the love of the Universe. For me to attract manifestation, I ask:
What can I do FOR the Universe?
How can I HELP the Universe?
How can I SERVE the Universe?
My strenuous physical exercise is serving the Universe. My strong muscular body is serving the Universe.
So, you will start tomorrow, right? Only one problem: You will never consciously experience tomorrow.Tomorrow doesn't exist.
