Feb 8th

Today was another one of those get up, go to work, come home, eat food, go to bed kinda days.
Nothing significant happened.  
Nothing out of the ordinary.
However, I did finish one of my books!
Bless metro public transport for the opportunity to do that!

I want to share the synopsis of the book with you.
The seven secrets of magic.
Cos I think they're great!
The book itself is fantastic.  The writing style is story telling, autobiographical and it's an easy read.
I highly, highly recommend it.

Magic, as told by William Whitecloud.  Thank you William, from the bottom of my heart.

THE FIRST SECRET OF MAGIC
Your thoughts and feelings aren't real.
Your thoughts and feelings aer expressions of your underlying assumptions in any moment, not reflections of actual reality or what is truly possible.

THE SECOND SECRET OF MAGIC
Your focus creates your reality.
Your experience in life is determined by what you put your attention on.  If you focus on end results, you inevitably attract what you want.  If you focus too much on what you *have to do* to get what you want, you end up attracting your doubts, fears and beliefs.

THE THIRD SECRET OF MAGIC
Everyone has a heart.
Having a heart means that you do have dreams, that there are things you love, things that are deeply important to you.  An inherent part of the human journey is that at some point you end up putting more energy into protecting your heart than following it.

THE FOURTH SECRET OF MAGIC
There is never anything to do, but always action to take.
Action is about taking direct steps, based on the obvious, towards creating what you want.  Doing is about fulfilling certain conditions you believe are necessary before you can get what you want.

THE FIFTH SECRET OF MAGIC
Structure has integrity.
Something's structure dictates its behaviour and its behaviour dictates its experience.  In creative terms, what your attention is focused on forms the underlying structure of your consciousness,  The motivations behind what you do in life reveal your true focus.

THE SIXTH SECRET OF MAGIC
You get your energy from a higher source.
As a human being, you have the tendency to develop fixed concepts about what is in your highest good and where it is supposed to come from.  The key to magic is developing the ability to let go of your fixed concepts and open up to the true source of your energy.

THE SEVENTH SECRET OF MAGIC
It takes will.
Ultimately, your highest source of energy is your own heart.  Yet the paradox is that you are conditioned to protect your heart, a behaviour motivated by fear.  Your fears are communicated to you by thoughts and feelings,  There can be no sustainable change in your experience of life, unless you have the will to choose following your heart over resolving your thoughts and feelings.
