SOUL CULTIVATION


This is a wonderful time for nurturing your soul so that you can experience the blessings of harvest. The harvest I am speaking of is internal, but it's affect is so deep that it saturates every area of your life. It is what I call “ SOUL CULTIVATION.” A process of developing and refining your perspectives, and adjusting your life to reach your ultimate purpose. In many ways, it is a beautification process that affects the way you see, feel, and respond to life. In this post my focus for you is three-fold. Releasing your self from past experiences that drain you emotionally, getting a fresh vision for your future, and keeping an attitude of gratitude.

Releasing your soul from negative past experiences is key to being able to apprehend your purpose in life. Often, you may not realize that having a negative attitude, pulls your emotions and your mind into the past. Consequently, all of the emotions that accompanied the negative event that occurred, become fresh. So, how do you release your soul from negative past experiences? You must make a conscious effort to shift your thoughts to what you desire, rather than what you have already experienced. It would be helpful to find uplifting books to read, inspiring music to listen to and purposefully filter the programs that you watch. Make sure that you are filtering in positive words and images into your mind, while detoxifying your thoughts from negative things.

Fresh vision for your future will begin to arise in your heart as you release yourself to your future. Letting go of the past is like releasing a heavy ball & chain that pulled you down. Once the past is released, you are free to reach for positive, uplifting experiences. Begin to speak positively about your life and circumstances. You may still feel tempted to say something negative, as the past has a way of not wanting to let “you go;” however, you are empowered from within to decide not only what you hold on to, but, you can decide what has the power to hold you.

Gratitudeis a direct result of your perception. If you perceive that you are blessed and fortunate to have made it to this point in your life, that perception will be displayed in your attitude. The way that you process events, people and situations, greatly influences your emotional state of being and your attitude. Begin to say within yourself that you are blessed to be alive, to have hope, to be in position for change, and you will see your life shift in a positive direction. Never compare yourself to others, but realize how uniquely you are made. Your entire life is tailor-made.

THOUGHT FOR MEDITATION:
1 PETER 3:3 TLB
Be beautiful inside, in your hearts, with the lasting charm of a gentle and quiet spirit that is so precious to God.
