Are You Conscious?

We live in a contradictory world. At least it seems that way. For every action, there’s a reaction. For every deed, there’s a consequence. Even if you choose not to act at all, there’s a consequence to that. You’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. Sound like familiar comments, experiences or thoughts?

Let me use a specific example. In my profession, accounting, I deal in income and taxes. Here’s the question I get; “How do I maximize my income and minimize my taxes?” It’s the taxation version of “I want to have my cake and eat it, too.”

It’s also a way to subconsciously choose to base my income on what the government says I should have. Did you ever think of it that way? Because if you earn money based on what your tax liabilities are, you are earning based on what it will cost you, not what you can joyfully earn.

I have different questions for you.

Are you doing what you choose to do, or are you choosing to do what somebody else chose for you to do? Are you conscious of the difference?

Are you conscious of the reaction, consequence, result of whatever you are doing?

Are you consciously living your life?

Most of us are pretty much NOT. Because the world moves very fast, we are busy with daily tasks, while worrying about the next thing we’re supposed to do. Our lives are filled up with a tight schedule of “to dos.” And in order to keep up with the schedule, we run through our days on a sort of auto-pilot, and measure our lives at the end of the day by how many things we crossed off our lists. We even tend to spend our vacations that way! Rest as hard and fast as you can! Hello?

But are we conscious of what we are doing?

I’ve got a little secret for you. An accounting secret.

If you are conscious of what you are doing in business, you already are maximizing your income and minimizing your taxes. Because you are conscious of the taxes related to your income. Because you know if you “do” something, you will either benefit from a tax deduction, or not. Because if you are conscious, you know what the tax laws are, or ask someone who does know, and act on that premise. And, with that knowledge, you can choose to focus on earning, not cost. And, you will have enough to pay those taxes when they come due!

Conscious. Conscious choice. Intentional action.

You are conscious of what you are doing.

I’m conducting a five week class called “Intent” starting next Thursday night, January 12, 8 PM Eastern Standard.

It is NOT about taxes. Yes, I know I’m busy right now with taxes, but this is more important than that.

This class is what helps me to stay focused on doing my job, whatever it is.

This class is about becoming aware of what you love in life, and then consciously choosing to focus on your own actions instead of reactions and consequences. This class is about establishing direction and action consciously.

Taking this class helped me become conscious of what I was doing, so I consciously chose to learn how to share it with others. And now I consciously share it which helps me to stay conscious of what I am choosing to do.

Can you tell that becoming “conscious” is a key to this class, and really, really important to me?

Go here to learn more and register.

It’s a very small class. Only five people in the class, for five weeks. It starts next Thursday. And it only comes around once a year.

So go now and register.

In the meantime – consciously do what you do!

The one with the clearest Intent prevails.

P.S. – we talk about God in this class. Not religion, but we talk about spiritual awareness. If that really turns you off or makes you uncomfortable, please don’t register.
