<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nAbout Rumi\u2019s \u201cyesterday I was clever\u201d quote<\/strong><\/h4>\nThis particular famous quote by Rumi speaks to my heart, as I personally relate it to my own growth and transformation process.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You see, one of the most important things I\u2019ve learned<\/strong> on my self growth journey<\/mark><\/a><\/strong> is that it\u2019s better to put more time and attention toward working on yourself than toward complaining about and trying to change others.<\/p>\nI truly believe that the wisest thing we can do is to work on ourselves from the inside. But, at first this can be a hard concept to grasp.<\/p>\n
We want to change things outside of ourselves, thinking that if \u201cthey\u201d or \u201cit\u201d would just change we could be happy. So, we think it makes sense to want to change things outside of us \u2013 to want to change others.\u00a0But, what we miss in this thinking is that\u2026<\/p>\n
Nothing outside of us is responsible for our happiness. Nothing outside of us can truly make us happy, because true joy and happiness comes from the inside \u2013 and therefore it\u2019s more lasting.<\/strong><\/p>\nGet this reinventing yourself guide that includes a checklist & quotes!<\/mark><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nTake it from someone who has been there.\u00a0For years, I bought into the idea that outside people and circumstances had to determine how I felt inside. And, I was often miserable!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not a fun way to live, being affected so greatly by others \u2013 letting them have that much control over you and your life.<\/em><\/p>\nBut, it is SO very freeing<\/strong> when we learn that we have the ability and right to decide how we\u2019ll be affected by things outside of us! We can choose joy.\u00a0<\/p>\nYes, sometimes we can\u2019t help it and things will jar us. But, we don\u2019t have to let it overtake us. These days I reset much faster than I used to, which means my new base point (where I mostly stay)<\/em> emotionally is much higher.\u00a0<\/p>\nI\u2019m happier and feel more in control overall than I used to be, and YOU can be too!<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy\u201d (Rumi)<\/strong><\/h4>\n(I found the above quote in QuotesGeeks\u2019 post titled 15+ Rumi Quotes On Happiness That Will Boost Your Mood<\/mark><\/a><\/strong>.)<\/em><\/p>\nAbout Rumi\u2019s \u201cwhen you do things from your soul\u201d quote<\/strong><\/h4>\nTo me, this quotes speaks to that feeling you get when you\u2019re in \u201cflow\u201d \u2013 in flow with life, staying connected to higher guidance or your higher self and to the Universe.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s when you\u2019re going with the flow of the stream and not against it, trying to swim upstream. It\u2019s that feeling you get of true connectedness, when you\u2019re truly present in the moment. It\u2019s the inspiration you feel when you\u2019re doing what\u2019s aligned with your soul.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve done a great job of defining who this great author and mystic was and what his work was about, as well as listing twenty-one quotes from him.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nAbout Goddard\u2019s \u201conly as one is willing\u201d quote<\/strong><\/h4>\nIf we want to become someone who is different or has a different life than what we currently have, we must begin thinking like that new person. (And, talking like them too!) We must try and let go of our old identity, being open to seeing ourselves as the new person that we wish to be.<\/p>\n
Goddard\u2019s related book that looks into this deeper<\/strong><\/h4>\nI just read a great Neville Goddard book that relates to this called At Your Command \u2013 How to Command & Get Anything<\/mark><\/a><\/strong>, and I highly recommend it. (It was an e-book, which I love because they\u2019re so convenient!)<\/p>\nIn it, he says \u201cIf you are dissatisfied with your present expression in life, the only way to change it is to take your attention away from that which seems so real to you and rise in consciousness to that which you desire to be. You cannot serve two masters, therefore to take your attention from one state of consciousness and place it upon another is to die to one and live to the other.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nSome of what Goddard speaks of may take a little thought, but I feel that\u2019s what makes it so valuable \u2013 it goes deep. And, in this particular paragraph I believe he\u2019s saying what many manifestation teacher\u2019s speak of\u2026<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t like your current reality (or parts of it) and want to change it, stop looking at what you don\u2019t<\/em> want and don\u2019t<\/em> like and START looking at and speaking of what you DO want. In other words, stop giving attention to (and feeding) those things that you don\u2019t<\/em> want or you risk continuing to get more of it.<\/strong><\/p>\nAnd, doesn\u2019t it make sense to look at where you want to go instead of where you don\u2019t want to go? To put energy toward what you want, rather than to waste the energy you have complaining about what you don\u2019t have and don\u2019t like?<\/p>\n
Read about how to get what you want, with words and focus.<\/mark><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nThings like this always make me think of this story I once heard<\/strong>, where they said the racecar driver kept crashing into the wall until finally a mentor said stop looking at where you don\u2019t want to go \u2013 the wall you\u2019re afraid of hitting. Instead, look away from it toward where you DO want to go and the car will follow<\/em> \u2013 and it did.<\/p>\nAnd unfortunately we aren\u2019t always taught this early on as something important to know for life, but it is <\/em>important to control our thinking and mental state in order to live a more fulfilling life<\/strong>.<\/p>\nIt seems like in general we\u2019re taught the opposite, that it\u2019s okay to dwell on and talk a lot about what isn\u2019t working out \u2013 as if this will bring the answers. But, often it doesn\u2019t and we end up more miserable. So, why not try another way? (At least to see if it works better.)<\/em><\/p>\nWhen I stopped dwelling as much on what wasn\u2019t going my way, it\u2019s like it freed my mind and energy up to be able to work toward making a difference<\/em> instead \u2013 and I felt better.<\/p>\nAnd, I truly believe if you do the same you\u2019ll feel better too!<\/p>\n

Realize you yourself are the power you have mistakenly given to outer conditions\u201d (Goddard)<\/strong><\/h4>\nUsing key points from Goddard\u2019s book to explain this quote<\/strong><\/h4>\nIn this Neville Goddard book<\/mark><\/a><\/strong> that I read and loved and honestly will continue to read (or listen to), he also says to look at how you see yourself. And, I do<\/em> believe that this is SO important!<\/p>\nHow we see ourselves is everything, and it can change<\/em> everything.<\/em><\/strong> So, this is something that\u2019s worth taking time to think on and work on.<\/p>\nHe also basically says that if we claim what we want as ours<\/strong>, rather than just begging for it in prayer, it will be ours.\u00a0<\/p>\nAnd, don\u2019t get offended by this. He\u2019s not saying not to pray, just that we should go forth with confidence<\/strong>. He discusses the bible quote about being able to move mountains if you have faith (Matthew 17:20-21, but I believe there are more quotes in the bible on this too)<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\nBut, we must<\/em> believe! And, I believe we need to have confidence in ourselves and in what we ask for.<\/p>\nHe also says to get first<\/em> the consciousness of the thing that you want<\/strong>, in order to get it. And again, many spiritual teachers speak of this.\u00a0<\/p>\nThey refer to quantum physics and how everything including us is energy, and if we will just get on the same frequency of the thing we want (or think and feel like we would if we already had it)<\/em> then we\u2019d get it.<\/p>\nBut, you can\u2019t do that if you\u2019re dwelling on what is currently going on around you that you don\u2019t like or want. So try to stay positive even if it\u2019s difficult, and be mindful of where you\u2019re putting your thoughts and energy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n![\"quotes](\"https:\/\/abundantlifeandbalance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/self-growth-quotes-2-683x1024.jpg\")
