Putting Our Tools to Use
Bringing Inspiration into Form

by Madisyn Taylor

We have all built up a toolbox of unique tools to help us navigate life, we just need to use them.


Every craftsperson has a toolbox full of tools and a number of techniques to help them bring inspiration into form. In the same way, throughout our lives, we have discovered our own life tools and techniques—the ways and means that have helped us create our lives up to this point. Sometimes we forget about the tools and skills we've acquired, and we wonder why we aren't moving forward. At times like these, it might just be a matter of remembering what we already know, and rediscovering the tools we already have at our disposal.

In the process of becoming who we are and creating our lives, we have all gone through the experience of being inspired to do something and then finding the tools we needed to do it. If we look back, we may be able to remember that we used, for example, the tool of writing every day in order to clarify our intentions. We may also have used the tools of ritual, meditation, or visualization to make something happen. In addition, we may have been fueled by a new idea about how the universe works, which is what gave us the inspiration to use these tools.

In order for ideas to be powerful, they must be imbued with the energy of our engagement with them, and in order for tools to be effective they must be put to use. This sounds obvious, but often we fall into the habit of thinking we are engaging with ideas and using tools by virtue of the fact that we are reading about them, or listening to other people talk about them. In truth, using our tools is a very personal action, one we must take on behalf of ourselves. Like artists, we are each unique and no two of us will receive the same inspiration, nor will we bring it into form in the same two ways. To discover the truth of our own vision, we must take action by remembering our tools and putting them to use.


DailyOM Course Spotlight

Attract All with Hindu Mantras
by Seema Singh

The 'Law Of Attraction' as we know it today has been practiced since the beginning of time. Ancient Eastern Cultures have integrated this practice in their daily life as prayers, chanting, and religious rituals. Every action is meant to deepen the focus, belief, or faith towards acquiring one's goals in life. Mantra chanting is a repetitive exercise that forces the human psyche to visualize and channelize the mind's energy to acquire one's wishes and desires. The accumulation of Mantra energy provides a powerful impetus for manifesting your desires into reality. Mantra meditation has been in existence since ancient times and has withstood the test of time very well. Indian Hindu scriptures are full of accounts that reveal conclusively that anyone can achieve what they want if they focus on their goals and chant the Mantras that accelerate the Laws of Universal Attraction.
