The ACE Principles

Just a few days ago while I was running along the river, inspiration hit me: There are a few fundamental principles underlying the most important ideas I have learned and developed throughout the last years and especially months of focused personal growth.

Awareness

To be living consciously means to be aware. If you are not aware of something, like a thought pattern, negative belief or habit, you are at the mercy of that thing. Your habits can control your life without you understanding why, leaving you feeling powerless, victimized. What you are aware of, on the other hand, you can observe, understand and change.

So becoming more aware of basically everything that is in any way relevant to you and your life is of great importance if you want to live a conscious, fulfilling life on purpose.

Choice

The Universe will never contradict you.

There is no higher authority in your life and reality than you yourself. What you choose to experience will come to you, and what you choose to not experience you can never allow into your life. Sounds simple enough, the challenge though is to first fully internalize this understanding on a fundamental level, to know it from the core of your being, and then to go on and become more aware of how you already make the choices you make and gain control of them in order to create the life experience you truly desire.

Excitement

You have unique and personal guidance available to you at all times. In every single moment there is a path leading to everything you choose to experience and you have the ability to tune in to the voice that lets you know how to get onto this particular path.
This guidance comes in many forms, and the simplest and most readily and easily available one is called Excitement – but also Creativity and Passion and Love and Joy serve the same purpose. All you ever have to do is to look around at all the options of what to do available to you at any given moment and choose to act upon the one that contains the highest amount of one of the above emotions, such as Excitement, and start acting on it until you can no longer take more action upon it. Repeat this process and be passionate about being passionate so your Passion (Excitement, Creativity, …) will be sustained and you will stay on your path of passion and purpose.

How the ACE Principles work together

Now if you put those principles together really awesome things can happen in your life. By utilizing Awareness you can become aware of all the ways that you create your life experience and take control of them. The principle of Choice then lets you make new and more pleasing choices that are more in alignment with who you really are and what you really want. Your Excitement then will solve the “How to get there?” part for you.

By simply becoming aware of where your Excitement, your Love, your Passion is, making the Choice to follow it, intending to gain more and more Awareness of all the things that make up your life experience and then repeating that process over and over is a total recipe for creating the unique, fulfilling and joyful life experience that you desire.

If what you want is to grow, become the best person you can be and share that with as many people as possibly, that is where the ACE Principles will lead you.
If what you want is to lead a clutter-less, relaxed, abundant and free life, that is where you will end up.
And even if you only want to conquer the world in whatever way you imagine that to make sense for you, then there is no single reason why you wouldn’t get exactly to that place… remember, the Universe won’t contradict you

Please take a moment now to silence your mind, let go of everything, just be aware of the present moment. Present to yourself the principles of Awareness, Choice and Excitement. Wonder for just a moment about whether or not they make sense to you, if they really speak to you at a core level, if you feel that they make sense intuitively, on a gut level. If you find that they do, simply state the intention to yourself that you want to

a) become more aware of anything that is relevant to your unique life and purpose,
b) become more aware of the choices you make and to allow yourself more and more to make the choices that are in alignment with who you really are and what you really want, no matter how unreasonable or idealistic they may seem,
c) become aware of where your excitement is and to trust and follow it more and more, always to the degree that you feel comfortable and capable of doing this.

Also, if anything about those intentions or concepts seems unclear to you, simply state a question about it and try to not answer it immediately, but just stay in this feeling of being curious to receive an answer, like you knew there was a very wise person sitting just a few feet behind you, just about to give you the answer. That will also bring forth more of your own wisdom and guidance from within you and make the intentions you’ve just stated even more powerful.

In the near future we are going to explore all of the three ACE principles in more depth and with a strong focus on the practical value they can bring to your experience in every single moment.
Until then just start playing around with those ideas as much as you feel intrigued or inspired to do so and be sure to let me know how it goes!
