Are We Studying or Practicing?

I was listening to a podcast today; it was very good. It was talking about the subject of money and how many of us have a problem with the concept of being wealthy. As I was listening to it I realized something: I already knew this information. I had heard it before, in some other podcast, or book, or blog. Don’t get me wrong; the information was awesome. I did get a lot out of it. But it was some of the same message in a new package.

And it got me to thinking……sometimes we, who love to read self-improvement books, listen to self-help audio books, and read all of the new stuff that comes out of the self-help publishers; sometimes we can simply be stuck in an informational mode. We can read and read until we are blue in the face about meditation. We can take online courses on how to create the proper mindset for bringing abundance into our lives. But this isn’t going to get us very far unless we actually put this stuff into PRACTICE.

It’s like someone who goes to music school and learns the history of music, learns music theory, knows everything about it. Then that person sits down at the piano or picks up a guitar and plays something- and they suck. Because they haven’t practiced.

So, whatever it is you happen to be studying at the moment, be it reading a book on how to meditate, or listening to a cd from Wayne Dyer, or maybe you are reading "A Course In Miracles". Whatever it is, let’s start practicing what we are learning so much of.

There is an incredible amount of great teaching material available to us today. It is easy to just keep gathering more of it. So maybe let’s take a breath, pause, and start living what we have been learning. Let’s see what happens…maybe great things!

To your health and happiness,
