The desire you've been trying to manage isn't the problem. It's the raw material. Discover how giving it a worthy direction can transform your work, deepen your faith, and quiet the inner circling.
Thanks JP, I'm so glad. It made me think too, I really enjoyed framing this one because it is so true. I always say I'm fired up, but in that moment is it a worthy cause? Fired up to argue, nope, fired up to obsess over someone or something material, nope. Fired up to create something worthwhile, using our imagination be it art, words or a new idea, that's coming from a greater source, and it matches your spirit, that's why it feels so good. When it serves and helps others, that is the real 🔥! Thanks for taking the time! Appreciate you! 🙏
Adele, the way you brought together Napoleon Hill and faith is brilliant. Even more — you applied the concepts to work, especially creative work. I have experienced this fire on occasion — mainly after taking an early morning walk thinking about a message that is in my heart and how to share it with my words. On these walks I also commune with God, asking for help with those words. These are my best times. But other times I am distracted — the circling I guess. I need to make the effort to bring together these ideas you have described so I can direct the fire more often.
Thanks so much Kathryn! I appreciate you taking the time to comment and share your experience. Desire is so important to get you moving towards something. I think back to all that energy thinking low level thoughts and what I could have directed that towards instead! Knowing now how to transmute that fire into something productive and serving is so freeing. I love my nature communes with God too, the best ideas come through. Sitting/walking for ideas!! 🙏
I clicked into the comments to say what Kathryn already said! Your connection between faith and Napoleon Hill’s teaching is great here! It’s so nice to connect with likeminded people. I’m also passionate about bridging the gap between secular discoveries of His creation and scripture / honoring God with that information and how it can impact our approach to all aspects of life. Well done!
Thanks so much Melody! Such kind words. I love finding ways to look within and become more aware, but also relatable. Realizing all your great ideas were given to you through God and it's your job to share and serve through them. It is wonderful to find people who share that same interest!
I've noticed that a lot of things we think we're fighting are really just energy looking for a direction. The idea that the fire needs somewhere worthy to go made me think about that, Adele.
Thanks so much for taking the time! I worked hard on this one for that exact reason, I wanted people to have something to think about and have a take away. That you feel you need to come back to it, made my day! Love for and sitting for ideas, is a real thing!
