Summer of Change, Extra #3: Thank the gurus

Today, I want you to thank those who have taught you. Could be your religious leaders, could be the teachers from The Secret, could be Neville Goddard or Florence Scovel Shinn…it could be anyone. But thank them for their amazing contribution in your life.

How? By studying and putting into practice what they taught you. Have you bought one of their books and not read it? Now’s the time. Learned something and not put it into practice? Now’s the time.

Found yourself losing interest in that particular guru’s teachings? Find another. We receive information when we need it and in time may outgrow that particular guru’s lessons. And that is okay. You may find you return to them in twenty years, looking at them with new eyes and learn at an even deeper level. Or you may find you never need to read from that individual again. And that is all okay.

There are so many teachers out there. Find one that interests you, dive in. Read, study, devour, and put their teachings to the test. Do they work for you? If so, great! Use them and add to them, continually growing and learning. Do they not work for you? Great! You know the way that particular individual teaches is not for you. It does not make their teachings any less valid. All it means is they are not for you at this time.

Remember my ‘the time is now?’ Grab something, anything that you want to learn that will help you upon your spiritual/life-affirming path and learn it.

The best way to thank these people is to actually practice what they preach. Thank them for their contribution to your life.
