Higher Authority

[ncjohn]

A  friend passed on an interesting article relative to how we act relative to how we perceive our Higher Authority to feel about us. The first part of the article didn't much excite me but when I got to the second part where it gives a practical example, it caught my attention.

One of the early paragraphs did catch my attention:

Whatever you believe your Highest Authority believes about you, you will automatically believe about yourself.

If you believe that your Highest Authority has a positive future for you, you’ll believe you have a positive future for yourself — and act accordingly. You’ll take all the actions of a person who believes they have a positive future, and get the results those actions create.

And by the same token, if you unconsciously believe that your Highest Authority has a negative fate in store for you, you’ll live from that belief, as well. You’ll take the actions of a person who believes they have a negative fate, and get those results in your life.

This is important because if you haven’t thought much about the Highest Authority you are believing in, you may have unconsciously taken on discouraging messages you’ve gotten from your parents, or from your childhood, as your Highest Authority.

And that can make it extremely difficult to be happy and effective in life.

I found it worth the time; it took about 5 minutes to read and can be found here:  http://happinessmadesimple.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/authority/

I really enjoyed reading almost all of the article on authority.   
I was hoping to start posting a little; my  account has been is suspension for a while. Any ways just wanted to say I'm gonna try to at least browse if not leave a comment now and again.  Sorry in advance if I jump topics  .  Thanks again for making the Higher Authority article available.  Sincerely , Julie

Hi Julie,

It's good to see you around again.  Any comments you have are always welcome and don't worry about topic-jumping. It's more the rule than the exception around here and I hear the moderators are pretty lax about such things.
