The theme this month is POWER OF NOW
‘To rise above mediocrity you have to consistently act in the present.You wont make it on my team living off of past accomplishments or thinking about who you may someday become.
(Excerpt from Barry Goss's Manifesting Mindset Book). Go to the Free downloads page if you already dont have this book.
This month’s theme is the importance of being in the moment. For many of us, the moment of now simply passes us by. Our minds are always either in the past or in the future. We find ourselves longing to be in the future, and hating our present moment.
Think of a school pupil for example, always longing to speed up their years in school and finish and get into college. When they get to college they are impatient and say, ‘Oh I cannot wait to get my first job’. When they get their first job, they say, ‘Or I cannot wait until I get two years experience’ etc Or worse still, they will say, 'I wish I was back in school without all these job responsibilities!' Can you see how such kind of thinking robs us of the opportunity to enjoy life.
Instead of enjoying being at university for example we fill our minds with unnecessary worries and anxieties. We are always worried about getting there, and never enjoy the process of getting there.We are worried about problems that do not exist and our lives pass us by.
If you lived in the present moment, you would not worry. You would enjoy every moment, because you know that our life comes to us moment by moment and each moment is a crucial piece of your Book of Life.
You would also know that your opportunity to change your life is now because the past is gone, and the future is guaranteed to none of us.
There is no power in the past or the future. Who can ever live in the past? Who can live in the future? Can you undo the past, and can you make a difference in the future? Of course not. All your power is NOW. Whatever, it is you may want to change, you have to change it now. You cannot change it yesterday, neither can you change it tomorrow. Change happens now. Lets say for example you intend to clean your car tomorrow; until you clean that car in the NOW then that car is not cleaned. That objective only becomes met in the moment of NOW. As long as it is scheduled for tomorrow, next week then it is not done and may never be done. My point is not that we should not plan things or have vision, but rather to illustrate that as long as something is in the future, then it is not assured.
If you want to change the future, then your change has to be in the now.
That is why there is power in things like visualisation and affirmations. Because it is what you see now, it is what you say now that shapes your life. whatever you may want to experience in future, you have to begin experiencing it now and it will be. If you wait to experience tomorrow then your wait may be forever. Feel it now, receive it now, act it now, talk it now,the power simply is now because tomorrow never comes.
Let go of unnecessary worries, anxieties, stress and relax and enjoy the moment of now. Because it is whatever you feel and see now, that will become your future tomorrow.

Words of Wisdom
'If you change the way you look at things the things you look at change'. by Wayne Dyer
This one is simple and does not really need any explanation! As simple as it may sound, the way you perceive things is really powerful. If you are a pessimist you will see the bad side of things, the good will escape your notice. Put an optimist in the same situation, they will see only good, turning failures into opportunities.
Wayne Dyer is a well known author who has written very powerful books, such as the Power of Intention and many more. Visit his website on http://www.drwaynedyer.com/ and also find him on YouTube. You will be glad you did.

Poem of the Month
This poem was extracted from Barry Goss’s book, Manifesting Mindset and was written by a man called Guillaume Appollinaire. You can download the book on the free downlods page
Come to the edge, he said:
They said: We are afraid
Come to the edge, he said.
They came.
He pushed them…. and they flew.
The poem is about making ourselves get out of our comfort zones and taking on challenges. Too often we fear to attempt, concentrating more on our limitations. Too often we also find that when we actually brace ourselves and attempt, the fear we once felt was just imaginary. I remember before I learnt how to drive, I was so intimidated even to try. I got to a point when I had to drive, and was forced to take on some lessons. I now can drive and have realised that I was actually afraid of NOTHING! Now is the time to challenge yourself. Look at that long list of reasons why you cannot do something or change your life. Objectively evaluate whether those reasons are genuine or just imaginary barriers. Are you just choosing to remain in your comfort zone and using excuses to defend your choice for not wanting to reach high. Its time to take the first step out of your comfort zone with the knowing that the universe is there to support you. The universe will aid you and give you wings to fly!

Gratias Ago Tibi
In case you are wandering, Gratias Ago Tibi is Latin for saying thank you. This month what are you grateful for? As much as we would like to keep receiving, often we forget what we already have. How often do you say thank you. How many times do you appreciate the magnificence in nature and in your life.
This month I am grateful for the beautiful environment that surrounds me. The beautiful trees, the air that I breathe, the birds of the air, the flowing river, and the ground that I stand on. As I look at my daily surroundings which I often take for granted, this month I acknowledge them and thank the Universe for them. Because they are not just there, for the sake of being there, but are there because of the existence of Infinite Intelligence and the same Intelligence exists also in me.
