FEED YOUR MIND DAY 54 - READING EXTRACT

"There is an anecdote of the Far West that carries a wonderful lesson. A party of hunters, being called away from their camp, left the campfire unattended, with a kettle of water boiling on it. An old bear crept out of the woods and, seeing the kettle with its lid dancing about on top, promptly seized it. The boiling water called him badly, but instead of dropping the kettle instantly, he proceeded to hug it tightly. This is being a bear's idea of defence. This illustrates perfectly the way in which many people hug their difficulties to their bosom by constantly regarding them to themselves and others. Whenever you catch yourself thinking about your grievances, say to yourself: 'Bear hugs kettle, and think about God instead."

Don't be a bear, will you? See you tomorrow x

USEFUL RESOURCE

Our consciousness has the size and strength of a sumo wrestler, but because we do not know it, we squander our abilities. That’s why I make training my mind my priority Numero 1, and so should you. You are pinching off your own power: STOP IT!

Around the year with Emmet Fox Be Your Best Self Around The Year blog is based on Around the Year with Emmet Fox, a collection of 365 daily mediations/devotionals made from Emmet Fox's unpublished lecture notes and manuscripts and passages from his books. The book was published after his passing. Emmet Fox (1886-1951) was one of the most influential spiritual leaders of the last century and the New Thought Movement together with Joseph Murphy, Norman Vincent Peale and Neville Goddard. Happy reading. Available to buy on Amazon.

Disclaimer: The book Around The Year with Emmet Fox and the extract in this daily blog are taken from, and inspired by, The Bible. Fox and The New Thought Movement and consequent teachers interpreted the Bible metaphysically. Equally, If you are religious (Christian or any other religion) or not, you can do so too. This is not a religious blog. It is a "change yourself, change the world around you" blog to motivate and inspire anyone willing to listen to achieve what they want to in life and business. #BeYourBestSelf #SelfShorts #Followme on Twitter and Instagram or buy my books.
