"Do not be desirous of having things done quickly. Do not look to small advantages. Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thoroughly. Looking to small advantages prevents great affairs being accomplished." ~ ConfuciusThe garden of your mind is created and nurtured in just the same way as a physical garden. Capability Brown, the English landscape architect, was able to imagine the most amazing creations in his mind and then organise contractors, landscapers and architects to bring the ideas from his mind into reality. Many of the garden landscapes Capability Brown created in the 1700s still exist today and continue to be enjoyed by many thousands of people from around the world.
What do you spend your time imagining, and what difference could those imaginings make in the world?
It is so easy to get lost in creating and achieving the 'little advantages' of life, yet what would our lives look like if we focussed on the 'great affairs' that could be accomplished by just the same level of imaging?
By expanding our minds to new and greater possibilities, by letting go of our egos desire to keep us safe and small, we are able to increase the purpose that we show up with and thereby increase the impact that we can have in our world.
Your desire for success on a personal level is always increased if you have a great purpose beyond simply having more success. The inspired goal for my greater success is to teach as many people as possible how to harness the power of their own mind to transform their lives and achieve their hearts desire. That is far more motivating than waking up each morning wanting more money in my bank account or more clients on my mailing list.
What difference do you want to make in the world? If you have never thought about it, now is a great time. Studies have shown that people who seek first to make a difference beyond their own lives are far more successful than those simply seeking narcissistic gratification. Look beyond the horizon of your current environment and see what difference you can make today.
