Start Putting Higher Truths to Work for You | by Guy Finley Truthful principles can only act as agents of change for us when we choose to enact them. Their capacity to restore self-command, grant us a mind at peace, or deliver us from fearful dark states is only as great as our willingness to call upon their powers. That’s why we must do the personal work it takes to put higher principles into practice; theres no substitute for earnest self-study, which must include implementing what we learn from our new discoveries. Wisdom is the seed of freedom, but only in action do we see it flower. Here’s one example of productive self study: there are parts of you that always want to take the easy way—to do things half-way, to avoid unnecessary challenges, to coast whenever possible and pedal only as needed. Now have the courage to act on this knowledge: Deliberately choose to take the more difficult path, and finish whatever you start. Walk into what you’d rather walk away from, and persist with what you know is true for you until all resistance to your new actions proves itself a lie. Your reward: Discovering that on the other side of the resistance is the flow that always takes you, effortlessly, beyond yourself. Welcome this insight. Little by little, but as surely as the acorn becomes the oak, you will know and grow into its power. New courage will flow into all of your actions, and the change will be unmistakable. Instead of reliving old actions and reactions that take you nowhere, your path will become one of ceaseless transformation and growth.
