Lead Article
"I Can't Get No - Satisfaction"
You can find success principles anywhere, even
in classic rock 'n roll! Even though I learned this
concept from Bob Proctor, not Mick Jagger,
this song title can become an important
affirmation for our success.
You see, there is a fundamental difference between
happiness and satisfaction. And we want to get
happy, but we don't want to get no satisfaction.
(Boy, my high school English teacher, Mrs Panwitt,
would have a heart attack if she saw that sentence!
But I have to admit to a guilty pleasure in writing it
that way.)
But back to the topic. The difference between those
two words is a concept that many people struggle with,
at first, because the words are used almost interchangeably, at least here in the USA. But it is vital to
understand the difference.
Satisfaction implies an acceptance of the status
quo, being comfortable with the way things are.
Happiness, in contrast, implies a quality of mind,
a state of joy and gratitude, for what we have and
what we are.
Many people are satisfied, but unhappy. "I hate this
crummy job, but it's the best I can do, so I'll stick
it out until retirement." Whew! What a poor way to
live!
You see, satisfaction is putting a lid on that desire
within you that always wants to grow, to expand, to
be more, have more, experience more. When we get
satisfied, we get stuck, stop growing, and start to
rust.
The place you want to be is happy and disssatisfied!
In other words, to be thrilled with what you have, joyful
and grateful for your accomplishments and blessings,
and at the same time, enthusiastic about your
ability to do even better.
Bob Proctor quotes Thomas Troward in almost all
of his programs, where Troward says, "Spirit within
you is always for expansion and fuller expression."
That's divine dissatisfaction.
I found a great description of this concept in the
writings of James Dillet Freeman. In an essay
entitled "Two Kinds of Thinking", Freeman says:
"It is not easy to set the mind free. We have learned
how to walk. It is an adequate means of locomotion.
To fly is very hard - and we see no wings! Most of
us accept the acceptable. We settle for the attainable.
We pursue the possible."
"Flying is not easy - but is there anything that human
beings greatly prize that is? Do you want to fly?"
"Of course, we fly every day now. Somewhere a plane
is taking off at this moment. Flying is now as familiar
as walking."
"But why?"
"Because someone was not content to walk."
Freeman makes the same point that Bob does - that
progress in society and in our individual lives, springs
from dissatisfaction. Read the quote from Earl
Nightingale at the top and you'll see that Earl was
saying that we can be very happy and dissatisfied
at the same time, as we pursue our worthy ideal.
So, is there any place in your life today where you
are just content to walk? I invite you to start building
wings!

Article #2 - Mind Matters - Your Power
We have to go back to our old friend, the subconscious mind, to understand why we walk when
we can fly.
It has to do with what we believe is possible for us.
We know that the subconscious mind works very
hard to make our life and our beliefs agree.
That's why when we start to adopt new beliefs and
behavior, we feel so uncomfortable. What Proctor
has called the Terror Barrier is just your subconscious
arguing with these new ideas and hoping you will
give them up.
As you persist (and you will persist, won't you?), the
subconscious will finally get the idea and start to
work for you instead of against you.
You see, we have the awesome power to create our
lives into anything we truly desire! All great teachers
down throught the ages have taught this, and now we
find quantum physics reluctantly agreeing, too.
We are taught to believe a very limited concept of
ourselves - that we are physical beings with a brain.
Actually, we are first Spirit (intelligent energy), then
Mind, and last, body. The brain is just the interface
between the Mind and body.
In this famous quote from Marianne Williamson, she
says:
"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but
that we are powerful beyond measure."
What would that mean for you if that were really
true.........?
