Hi,
This is Guy and we've come to our 28th key in 31 Keys to Change Your Destiny.
As I've mentioned before,
So many of these keys are directly related to some of the others and just as an example,
The 28th key which is called Go Quiet is connected directly to the last key we spoke of when we talked about key number 26 which was Look Up.
We know that when we have a moment in nature,
We walk outside on a brilliant night and look at the stars above us,
That in the moment when we look up and we see that beauty or we see the majesty of a mountain range,
We naturally go quiet.
We naturally go quiet because we're naturally complete in that moment.
In much the same way,
We can learn to go quiet in the middle of what would ordinarily be a riot going on around us.
The frantic search for any answer suddenly caught up in that stream of thoughts and feelings trying to figure out what to do with some frustration,
Turning to those frantic answers looking for them is like turning on a fan and hoping to straighten out the papers on your desk.
We mustn't be afraid to go quiet in those moments.
In much the same way as we look out and see something beautiful,
We can look interiorly and see that inside of us there's a scramble going on for some kind of security and to know in that moment that it is not who we really are that's afraid of what's going on.
Here's something that's stunning.
I remember the first time I heard it and what it did to me and how my mind actually went quiet when I heard it.
Listen to this idea.
It's okay not to know what to do in that moment when we're afraid.
It's okay to not know.
The reason it's okay to not know is because if we can just suspend the usual scramble for thoughts and feelings that will somehow secure the moment for us and instead see that scramble of thoughts and feelings actually become aware within our own heart and mind that something is running itself ragged trying to get to the end of a finish line when it can't get there because it's trying to outrun itself.
Anxious thoughts and feelings don't want the freedom they promise.
They want to bring us into the prison where there is no quiet but just the riot that we're afraid of and then turn to those same anxious thoughts and feelings to escape the very thing they're creating within us.
The more we can learn to go quiet in the face of that mental riot the further we will be able to see a clearness,
A clarity,
The promise of a new destiny because we've stepped out of the river of that crazy stream of thoughts and feelings and stepped right into a new understanding that can only grow in a quiet mind.
Do join me tomorrow for the next key when we're going to talk about separate facts from fears.
It'll tie into this lesson we just had as well as other lessons that I'll talk to you about at that time.
Talk to you then.
Bye.
