Jo Ann Spearmon – Master Key Experience- Week 25

My major take-away from my Master Key Experience is that
conditions and situations I encounter in my life are neutral until I
put/place a thought to/on it. My thoughts cause emotions to rise
within me which elicits my actions, good or bad towards the
condition or situation.

I also realize that I must take responsibility for everything that has
happen to me throughout my life. While I know I didn’t
intentionally want negative things to happen in my life, I recognize
that my thoughts caused the negative occurrences to manifest
themselves into my reality- Deep!

So, I’m setting the intention to observe my thoughts and keep
thinking, “it’s neutral now.” If the thought is negative I ask myself,
“why are you thinking that?” If the thought doesn’t serve me, I
have to release it and let it go and replace it with my mantra- “I
am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and
happy.”

As I master my thoughts and moods with positive actions, I will
control my Destiny!

I am excited about what the future holds.

Jo Ann Spearmon – Master Key Experience – Week 24

I am setting the intention each morning to control and master my moods through positive actions. I’ve learned that as I take positive actions, I am more productive and accomplishing so much more than when I focus on things I do not want in my life.

I by no means want this to sound like it’s a piece of cake in controlling my emotions. I must make conscious efforts to make this a reality as this continues to be a work in progress.

The GS Scroll #6 provides a roadmap that I find helpful in directing me on how to take positive actions based on the way I feel. For example, “if I feel depressed, I will sing; if I feel sad, I will laugh; if I feel ill I will double my labor, etc.”

“I will become Master of myself. I will become Great!”

 

 

Jo Ann Spearmon – Master Key Experience – Week 23

I have come to understand and know that if I want to control my
actions, I must first gain control over my thoughts. Each morning I
am setting my intention to keep my thought on things that are
lovely, things that are pure, things that are of the fresh fruits of the
spirt.

I am also learning to control my emotions so that I can have
productive days that are filled with joy. I find that I readily avoid
people with negative energy.

When confronted with negative situations or people, I think,
“Seriously, OK Jo, keep it moving”.

I am learning to let my actions  control my thoughts, especially if a negative thought tries to enter my mind. I am constantly repeating to myself- “I am whole,
perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy.

I am aware that I must continue this practice so that it will be ingrained in me and will be how I naturally flow.

“I will become Master of myself. I will become Great!”

Jo Ann Spearmon – Master Key Experience – Week 22a

The light bulb came on as I read MK Chapter 22. As I progressed
through the weeks of participating in MKE, doing the exercises,
cards, recitations, etc., I felt that I wasn’t where I want to be.
Although I noted some improvement in me, I felt I was missing
something.

After reading chapter 22 a couple of times, I said- “dang Jo, if you
change your thoughts to be specific about what you want, your life
will become what you want it to be.”

The areas of my life that are not what I want them to be are that
way because my internal thoughts are continuing to create the
situation(s) I don’t like. The cause is always in the world within.
So, if I change my thinking/cause, I will get a different outcome.

Yes, I’ve read that in the discussion in previous chapters, and that
I must visualize my “happy place,” but after reading it for the
umpteenth time, I can say- “ I got it.”

So, now what’s the plan?

Because I understand that the quality of the brain is governed by
my state of mind, or mental attitude, and if I maintain a desirable
mental attitude, I will create an energy force that will draw the
positive things I want in my life to me.

Now, I set the intention to master the 7 Day Mental Diet and
intently focus on what I want, even when negative thoughts come
up or I am faced with negative situations. My “sits” will focus on
visualizing my ideal life despite what’s going on around me.

Stay tuned.

Jo Ann Spearmon – Master Key Experience – Week 22

Living each day as if it is my last is helping me kick procrastination in the butt to some extent.  I am getting a lot accomplished on my “to do” list and around the house.

However, some of the things I need to do for my business are not getting done this week like I did them last week and the week before. I’m pausing today to ask myself-“Why?”

Initially “Fear” came up in my mind. But, what am I afraid of? Am I fearful of being successful in my business? I didn’t think so, but I will take these questions into my sit. I’m also asking myself, “What am I pretending not to know and what would the person I intend to become do next?”

Last week I stated that I realized I had been working like a fox for several years and that my intention is to become and adopt the Hedge Hog Concept to move my business to the next level.

I realize I fell off the wagon this week but will not continue to focus on that. I’ve learned that I need to focus on what I want, not on what I don’t want. I’m forgetting about yesterday as well as tomorrow and focusing on today. Otherwise, I realize I will be throwing now for something I can’t change because it happened in the past.

Onward and upward.

The GS Scroll 5 continues to resonate with me. Especially the statement, “ I will live this day as if it is my last.”

Initially I thought the mere suggestion of having to draw my time/life-line and how long I anticipate living, was a bit morbid. However, as I continued to focus my thoughts on the assignment, I determined that just as I had no control over my birth, I don’t know the hour or the day I will transition from this earthly body to my total spiritual body. So, it makes sense to live each day as if it is my last, because I may not see tomorrow.

As we go throughout life, we tend to make plans and set goals for the future, when in fact, we may never see the plans come to pass or accomplish our goals because we’ve passed on.

I know I’ve gone through periods where I regretted not doing something or kept putting off things I knew I needed to do but didn’t. Now I realize that I wasted a lot of time thinking about things that happened in the past, when in fact, I can’t reclaim that time.  If the thing that didn’t get done is that important, I can commit to getting it done NOW. Knowing how precious time is, is my incentive to get things done NOW.

My mother use to say, “tomorrow is not promised to you” and “ there’s no point in crying over spilled milk.” Now I reflect on- I may not live to see tomorrow and I can’t put spilled milk back into the bottle- Move on and take action.

I’m committing to focusing on things that are important to me, like keeping in touch with family, having some “me” time to have balance in my life.

On Sundays, I would fill out my calendar with activities I believed I need to get done during the week to move my business forward and become over whelmed after a time of constantly trying to keep up with everything I had on my list. After Mark when over the Hedge Hog Concept, my mouth flew open as I realized I have been work as a fox all these years.

The great thing is I recognized what I was doing wrong and did the exercise to prioritize the tasks/activities I need to do to effectively work smarter, not harder in my business. I’m finding that as I get my priorities in order, I have time for myself or to do something to help someone else out.

I’m excited to know that if I just stay committed and consistent, my business will take off and I will be overwhelmed with success.

Jo Ann Spearmon – Master Key Experience – Week 19

Our new scroll (V) in the GS led me to reflect on how transient and fleeting life is. We know that we have today, but tomorrow is not guaranteed to us. I’ve know many people who were full of life and I believed were giving individuals and had a lot to live for but transitioned to Glory before what I thought was their time.

I confess that I questioned many times why they were taken (died) so young and without warning. Did they fulfill the purpose for which they were created?  I remember when I was 6 or 7 years old, a boy I went to school with developed appendicitis and died. At the time I couldn’t understand why he died and why the doctors couldn’t save him. My mother just said-“ God knows best and that it was his time to go.”

The scroll also causes me to reflect on why it’s important to not put things off, to complete assignments/tasks, tell family members I love them and to stop looking back on hurtful things I said, things I regretted doing, as well as those I procrastinated on. At the end of the day, the words were said, the actions were taken and nothing I can do will change what has happened in the past.

So, now when I realize I’m procrastinating on doing something, I ask myself- “What would the person I intend to become do now?” I then, implement the 5 sec Rule- counting from 5 to 1, then act and complete the task.

I’m loving how much I’m accomplishing doing that.
