Power Of Fixity

Fixity being firm, firmly fixed in our vow, in our resolve, in our determination. Being firmly fixed let nothing shake you. Being so established in our observance that nothing can move you. Fixity indicates a certain attitude, a state that one achieves in his interior, strong within, unshakable within, firm within.

If our attention is scattered and fragmented moving from one thing to another, we will be unable to create what we desire and we will have little to show for our efforts. Without a conscious focused attention and awareness and mindfulness, we will continually live in the past or in the future. We will respond to our life experiences rather than proactively creating them. Fixity is a power if utilized properly, shall help us to focus on exactly what we want, and thus righteously creating circumstances to achieve the same.

We are beings of infinite creativity and if we look a little deeper, beings of infinite consciousness. We create our experiences and the reality of those experiences by how we focus our attention and awareness. The more directed or concentrated the focus of our attention and awareness the more energy we can put into that on which we focus. The more energy we put in, the greater the probability we will manifest an experience of what we desire.

In the end fixity is what carries us towards our goals. If man has walked on the Moon or is going to land on Mars someday, it is because of our determination to extend our presence far beyond the earth, by surmounting the difficulties and increasing our knowledge and awareness about ourselves, our existence and the universe in which we live. Fixity means having the ability to stay on course, to remain focused on our goals, to stand up to the problems and obstacles with conviction, to be fixed and firm about our decisions, solutions and intentions and to apply the power of our will to our dreams and desires with firm resolve, grit, fortitude, faith and courage.

If there is one gift that you can give to yourself in your life to be what you want to be, it is the power of fixity. Without it you are a mere passive spectator in the drama of your life.

If there is one trait that makes a difference between a winner and a loser or a leader and a follower, it is the power of fixity. Without it, one may dream wild dreams, but will not accomplish much in life.

If you have determination nothing can stop you and nothing can deter you from following a particular course of action to achieve your goals or realize your dreams...so follow 5 simple steps:

• No casual approach, have strong determination to see things through.
• Know exactly what you want, and be clear about why you want it.
• Have simple and easy steps to follow plan, to keep you focused.
• Carry out the plan to support your self esteem and self worth.
• Address your fears and deal consciously and constructively with them.

People with strong determination in life are usually goal-oriented people. They cannot be undermined by negative principles and their inner strength is obviously manifested through their attitude toward challenges in life.

The achievements of mankind till date are the products of strong determination and will-power.

Fixity is that one ingredient that has mountain moving faith, miracle generating faith, earth shaking faith and situation changing faith. I am fixed to my goal, I shall not move. If the times are tough, the toughness shall move, I am fixed to my goal, I can rise above the rough times, but my eyes shall remain fixed on my dreams and my goal.

Wait, be patient, be fixed, the storm shall pass. The spring will come. New feelings will come, new ideas will come, only if you keep waiting affirmatively and positively in prayer for God’s strength to return. He will definitely renew your strength. During the rough times when your strength is tested, surrender your fixity to God. Let Him be in control of your life. Ask Him three questions: Who am I? Why am I here? And Where am I heading towards? Listen to the answers and get the right counseling and guidance, direct from the source.

If you want to succeed, if you want to conquer, then Hope- hold on, practice fixity- praying expectantly!!

Self Discipline To Accomplishment

Self Discipline is a force which channelizes our inner energy and directs it in the absolute direction; helping us to do ordinary things extraordinarily well.

Self discipline has many advantages:
1. It enables us to cultivate consistency
2. Mind stays focused and it does not side tracks important matters
3. One remains composed even in adverse circumstances
4. Stay determined to complete the task successfully
5. One has full control over his/her activities

Self discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. It is very easy to set our targets and goals, but how shall we accomplish them if we are not in discipline with ourselves. To achieve a particular target there is a definite course of action which needs to be followed and that can only happen if you have self control. As in this picture in order to achieve our Goals, we have to cross the bridge and reach the Goals, but in between the bridge there is a missing link and that red link we carry with us, it is our own self discipline.

E.g. If my target is to close 5 tenants for my shopping mall by the end of this month in 30 days time, I will have to make 50 calls in first 3 days, 5 meetings each day subsequently and then a regular follow up calls and meeting with the clients. Mind will of course give 10 reasons to avoid that first call or meeting or follow up call, as lot of refusal, objection, no’s etc. can come my way, but if I am focused at my end result, with self discipline and control, I shall not be seeing those small difficulties which come in my way. I shall make myself sweat that extra mile to accomplish my targets. Despite the rejection, I shall stretch myself to the next call with same enthusiasm.

Similarly we all know what exactly is to be done for achieving that particular target. Fat guy who need to lose 10 kgs in one month, knows exactly what is to be done each day, each hour. And we all know what it shall take to achieve his target, its only self discipline, commitment to his goal. The bottom line is either you are going to be disciplined or you shall be disappointed. Will power is actually like a muscle, the more you exercise it, the more you use and stronger you get it. Start self discipline from smaller habits – like choosing between: watching TV for hours or reading a book. Gossiping with friends or playing a sport with friends!!

Here is the key; you can't change your habits you need to replace your habits. If you have a bad habit of watching too much TV, replace it with reading and listening to motivation tapes. If you have a bad habit of eating, you can replace it with exercise or something more productive. So take a look at your habits and create an action plan to replace those habits with more productive habits. Start practicing this and you are on this path of exponential success. It is like sculpting, a little bit at a time. You'll get there.
