Segment 4 -- Write It Down.
We'll expand a bit on the last segment. How many million-dollar ideas have you had while driving down the road? What about in the shower? Or the ever popular, in a dream!?
We're all constantly receiving thoughts all the time. Goals you're wanting to accomplish, people you need to call, the list goes on and on. One of the most powerfully important habits you can learn to develop is Writing Things Down. Why have a brilliant idea if you're just gonna forget about it later?
As we covered in the last segment, Creation is a three-part process. Thought + Word + Action.
First, you're Inspired with a Thought. It's my belief that any thought of positive expansion comes from the Creator, or God. God has a vision for your Life, and sees it from the end. Biblically, we could turn to the phrase "I Am that I Am." God exists in the present as "I Am." But he also exists in the past and future as "I Am." There is no "I Was", or "I Will Be." Therefore, God can exist as "I Am" in what we humans would perceive as our "future." God can see the end result, and with that perspective, inspires you with a thought that will motivate you to take action in that direction. That's when you move to step two of the creative process:
Second, you translate your initial Thought into Word(s). The act of speaking your thoughts into existence generates more creative power in the direction of your goal. In my example, I remember telling friends that "I was gonna write a book." The feedback (energy) I received from them -- good and bad -- motivated me to get started. Which moves us to step three of the creative process:
Third, you take Action. Taking action mulitplies the initial thought energy exponentially! Imagine Thinking about how good a juicy, seasoned steak would taste. Got that in your head? Can it even compare with the sensation of actually biting down into that first greasy bite of steak in real Life? Of course not. That's the difference between the power of Thinking something and taking Action to experience something.
Follow the simple rules of conscious creation, and create the Life that YOU choose!

A spiral notebook costs a dollar. Don't let a million dollar idea slip your mind. Develop the habit of writing everything down. You'll be glad you did.
Segment 15 -- Spiritual Hydrogen-Peroxide.
Ever been gliding through this thing called Life, and all of a sudden you trip and fall? Now you're sitting there with tears in your eyes, and there's dirt and possible infection threatening your elbows. As you look in the mirror, you see the bits of gravel, and the ugly wound that's now a part of who you are.
What's the first thing you wanna do? Clean out the dirt! The first thing I reach for in these situations is Hydrogen-Peroxide. Sure, it stings a little bit, but I like watching the bubbles form all around the wound -- it makes me feel like the "germ destroyers" are really kicking some ass.
Let's think about how this relates to our relationships. Have you ever "tripped and fallen" in one of your relationships? Maybe you and a friend had a "falling out?" Or maybe there's an even more sensitive wound that was created in a love relationship?
A lot of times we create wounds that never truly get cleaned out. They might scab up for a little while, but underneath the scab they're still as dangerous as the original wound. Left untreated, they still have the same potential power to infect your elbow, and before you know it, you've got to cut off your arm.
My recommendation is to clean up any wounds you have with everyone you know -- especially your loved ones, because they have the potential to cause the most pain, and leave the ugliest scar.
Just like a physical cut, the cleansing power of Spiritual Hydrogen-Peroxide (Truth) is going to sting for a minute, and there might be some initial bubbling, but that's just necessary to get the dirt and possible infection out.
Have A Nice Life Re-Minder:
Untreated wounds never go away, and the pain can resurface with a simple "brush of the elbow." Get the cotton-balls, and become healing.
