Little Pot Boil! Little Pot Stop!

Remember the old children's tale of the magic porridge pot? You could put a small amount of almost anything into it and it would be replicated endlessly. Whilst this is often seen as a symbol of material wealth and might be considered the ultimate ideal business model, there is a spiritual dimension to this story that is often overlooked.

Anger, doubt, remorse, maybe even hate…Think, for instance, of how even a tiny amount of doubt or fear can grow in the mind like a microbe in a petri dish. Yet faith can do the same thing too.

This is much deeper than the “power of positive thinking” or trying to manifest your material desires through a “vision board.” I'm talking about making a conscious effort to replace the thoughts that steal away your valuable time with negativity. The benefits you will reap are priceless and will reward you throughout life’s challenges. Choosing to replace fear with calmness, faith, confidence and courage takes real effort and will require loads of practice. Doubt can become belief, faith, trust and calmness. Over time it will become easier and will become second nature. It may take months – maybe even years – but it will happen. Your first thoughts will become positive over time and replicate themselves. There are many studies that suggest not only will you be more successful but relationships with others will improve and your physical body will thank you with less stress levels & better blood pressure too. And low and behold eventually you will reach a place of certainty and contentment no matter what is thrown at you. Make it a priority to only allow replication of what you choose to put in your porridge pot my friends and you will never regret it.
