Intelligence: Why is it Important to Develop Your Intellect?

There are many benefits to developing your intellect. For some, developing the intellect may seem unimportant and nerd-like. A perception such as this can work to sabotage your potential for success.

If you want a healthy outcome with an overall prosperous life, it is of the utmost importance to take responsible right action in every area of interest that resonates with your higher purpose.

When you make an effort to educate yourself, your self-esteem and confidence will elevate you to accept opportunities that stretch beyond your comfort zone to experience happiness on a higher level. 
​

Self-Improvement

Your personal growth will be your ticket to experience an ultra-expanded standard of living. It also gives you a better chance to tap into your higher purpose, giving you an opportunity to reap fulfillment that is beyond the mere accumulation of stuff, which can leave you feeling empty after all is said and done.

A developed intellect can assist in guiding you toward making informed choices that can prevent unnecessary fear, worry, stress, and anxiety from manifesting overwhelm and preventing peace and joy from becoming your reality.

With an enhanced intellect, you have the tools needed to do your best. You have developed your mind to reason sensibly and have attained wisdom to choose being responsible over acting irresponsible.
​
With an enhanced intellect, you are equipped and ready to take on the world. With each new experience, your ability to assess life situations improves, enabling you to feel empowered and capable.

Stand on Your Own Two Feet

If you want to be successful and achieve greatness, have the courage to be independent. Doing so, helps you to understand what it takes emotionally to be your own person, where you lean on no one. This action in itself, leads to maturity, and the ability to appreciate others.

You will feel grateful for all you have been blessed to receive, once you grasp just how much those who love you have gone out of their way to make sure your needs have been met.

Sometimes it takes gaining a new perspective to stop feeling sorry for yourself and to relinquish the need to blame the world for all your problems.
​
Once you realize that only you can do the work to get the “feel good chemicals” that will light up the excitement centers in your brain, you will understand that there is no time to waste. If you want a happy life, you must do it yourself!

Develop a Growth Mindset

Use positive affirmations to retrain your mind to focus on the things you can do to move forward in a positive direction.

Use “I-am” statements to affirm your reality.
​
For example:

• I am enough!
• I am loved and worthy!
• I am grateful!
• I am capable!
• I am always growing and learning!

There are No Mistakes, Only Opportunities

Remember, you can accomplish anything, if you don’t give up. No matter what manifests, each challenge you encounter is an opportunity to grow. You learn by doing. You learn what resonates with your higher purpose through every action you take.

When you form new habits of mind that are constructive, you build a framework of thinking that lays the groundwork for success to manifest in your life.

 If you create focused goals and then step forward to achieve them, your trained intellect will help you rather than hinder your personal growth. With a plan, good things happen. To step into the zone of creativity, allow Divine Intelligence to take over. Let go and trust that the life-force energy of almighty will work through and by means of you.
​
Know that with the love energy of the Divine, which is everywhere present, all things are possible. Because God is everywhere, there is no separation between you and all that exists. You are one with the Divine!  You have the power to move mountains, figuratively speaking. If you take action, you are discovering what works and what you can do without. 

Gratitude
​
Give thanks for the lessons learned and apply the knowledge to gain wisdom. 

Let Go and Let God

Release all expectations and know that no matter what, you will be fine with the “love energy” of the Divine guiding you!

When you have the courage needed to trust in a higher power to provide for your needs, you will reap the manifestation of grace!
