Release your potential

To take the initiative and LEAD a group out in nature requires determination, courage and conviction. In this as in many other things we do for the first time. An acclaimed book of personal development - "The Secret" - points to three steps to fulfilling your dreams. The first step is to decide what you want to do. The second step is to visualize the desired result and feel as it is already happening. The third step is to be open to the opportunities that come in your way. And to be happy and grateful all along. 

Charles Haanel (1866-1949), wrote a distance education course in 1910 which forms the basis for "The Secret". In this course - "The Master Key System" - Haanel introduces a natural law he calls "The Law of Attraction." The idea is life is what we think it will be. Equal attracts like. Good, noble, courageous and loving thoughts attracts this into our lives. Give room for fear, anxiety, doubt and malice, and that is what we get back. By controlling your conscious mind, which is about the only thing we can control, we may direct the subconscious. This in turn connects us with the Collective Mind, Universe, a Greater Spirit, or whatever you choose to call it; the creative principle that governs all live.

View the picture above of the cloud over the tourists. Do you believe its rolling in or rolling out? How do you look at life in general? Clouds or sunshine? Or both? Leave a comment below on what you think about the law of attraction. 

In order to control our thoughts, we need to slow down. First our body, then our thoughts, to provide room for scoping the ideal images we want to pursue. A precondition for this is silence and increase our awareness of how we think. An excellent way to achieve this peace of mind is to experience nature with all our senses. Here you, as a Pathfinder, can make an important contribution.
