Miracle in a Bottle!
On my way into work this morning as I crossed the bridge I saw a small sign posted on the bridge that caught my eye, it said in large bold black letters “Mircale in a Bottle” under that was a number, 1-800-Diet – xxx. Obviously this sign was designed to appeal to people who want to lose weight. The sad part is that I am sure many people will call the 800 number and that someone on the other end will make a lot of money off of people who are looking for an easy, quick way to lose weight.
Looking for a miracale in a bottle is nothing new, people through the century’s have been looking for courage in a bottle, magic diet pills, the fountain of youth, instant happiness, etc.
Most people want to believe that there is some sort of quick fix to whatever their desires are. The allure of the quick fix is that you can take a pill or a swig of some potion that will fullfill your want/need/desire without having to change your behavior. Nice thought, however not realistic.
The funny thing is this, the miracle that we seek already resides within us! We have access to it 24/7. We can tap into the miracle that we seek anytime that we want. Here is the really amazing part, once we tap into our internal miracle we will then change our behavior and without too much effort.
The miracle of which I speak is our thoughts. We are what we think we are, and therefore we do what we think about and therefore we attract what we think about. For instance if I say I need to lose weight, I may know that I need to lose weight, I might even say I want to lose weight, however I really want a juicy, fatty cheeseburger for lunch instead of that pita wrap. In the end my true want’s will win out, i.e. if I really want the burger more than I want to lose weight, than guess what I will end up having the burger or I will have the wrap and justify some other high caloric snack or meal later in the day.
Bottom line is that we need to really evaluate what we want, why we want it and then envison ourselfs acheiving that want. Once this happens we will change our thoughts and our behavior will change to make our want a reality. There are no miracle drugs, drinks, potions, etc. The miracle is in your possession, it is your thoughts.
What do you really want?
Interesting. I was reading today how prayers/faiths/requests to the divine/appeals for manifestation/etc. are best done via pictures/visuals. And because of the speed with which the imagery can travel, we must be careful what we envision/paint/draw in our mind/forming our requests. I get that, the pictures in my mind, like your billboard/miracle bottle above may be forming one scenario, while my words think they are asking the opposite…which travels faster? I keep seeing a boomerang in the desert coming back and hitting me squarely in the head!
Surface Earth,
Great thoughts. I believe the energy of thought, though waves if you will travel faster then any other energy no matter what form they are in. I understand the boomerang, that is how it works. Thanks for your great thoughts!
Nice blog, Very useful information here, Thanks for sharing.
