Special thanks to Jay for writing up such an awesome article =)

I just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to take up some real estate on your blog. You have a great thing going here, and you would have every right to hold it hostage. The fact that you allow new bloggers like myself to guest post says a great deal about your character. Thanks again, I hope I did you proud, my dear friend and blogger.

@ Vincent- Thanks man. As a regular reading of this great blog, it means a lot to me that you came out to give me props.

@ Stacey- You can just sense it- nature that is. When you go outside, it just feels natural. sometimes I wonder if building houses and chopping down the trees was the right move? I realize we need shelter, but maybe we have gone too far, and removed ourselves too far away.

You had written a wonderful article and I love the way you use nature to teach us something about ourselves.

Cheers

Jay, I love how you point out that we have the power to create our habits – again, both good and bad. I would also say that Success is a habit!

As Lance said, nature is an example of life working in harmony. Imagine the world when more of us are doing exactly that!

Great food for the mind today Jay!

@ Frugal- Thanks man.

@ Henie- Thanks- great quote. Do you have a book of quotes?

I love what you said about success not being a choice but a result!

“Into the arms of nature, I surrender my being as I languish in her bosom of harmony and joy!” ~Henie~

I just finished reading your post. Great comparison. We are all part of nature and would be wise to learn lessons from nature and be part of it. Instead of manipulating nature, perhaps we can all learn and work with nature

@ Daphne- Humans certainly have the advantage to change thoughts, but in turn that can be a disadvantage if we do not think the right things- by right things, I mean the things that serve us in positive ways.

@ Lance- I am glad you enjoyed the comparison. Nature is a great example for us to aspire to be. Let us all live so harmonious in the future!

I’m reading a book detailing all the ways nature heals itself, and what you say here is so true. There is a logic to the way nature does things and we’d do well to learn from it. The difference is, we can choose our habits with a single thought as you point out, whereas nature takes decades, centuries or millenia to evolve. So we have an advantage here!

1. Cells have a higher purpose.

Their purpose is to serve the body as a whole under any circumstance. This is their number one priority. Their individual wellbeing comes second. Selfishness is not an ability they possess.

This is also the purpose of empowered people, they seek to serve humanity as a whole. They do not see things in concepts of accidents or coincidences. They realize everything is synchronized with purpose. They are not surprised when the information they seek comes to them, when the possession they desired shows up, or when someone they have being thinking about calls.

2. Cells do not plan ahead, they do what needs to be done in the moment.

They survive by knowing that whatever they need, the body will supply what they need, as they serve the body. Literally, through medical research, the cell only stores 3 seconds of oxygen and food supply in the cell wall.

Empowered ones live in a state of serving the whole and trust that the universe will supply their needs, by serving their purpose.

3. Cells work with all other cells and see all cells as part of the whole.

Every cell has a purpose, therefore every cell is important, significant, and has a reason for being.

Empowered people do not judge others and see everyone as equal human beings.

4. The essence of a cells nature is to give.

Every cell in the human body is always giving and as a result all the cells maintain every other cell, making the process of receiving automatically produced.

Empowered people give everything of themselves to provide value to everyone on the planet. Since they are willing to give and are committed in giving everything, they receive the same value back. You must give value first in order to attain value.

5. Cells listen to the body through many devices, but the most common is through a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction tells them exactly what to do in order to serve the body.

Empowered people always listen to the chemical reactions of their emotions. They use their emotions as a guide to know if they are in an empowered state. If they are feeling lower energies of frustration, pessimism, negativity, annoyance, depression, etc, then they know they are not aligned with empowerment or the universe.

Being aligned means they only feel positive emotions. They always follow with their emotions. They do not live their life by “shoulds”, “shouldn’ts”, or “have tos”. They flow with emotions. If something is stressful, they leave immediately. If they are unhappy with something, they analyze what’s making them unhappy: their thoughts, words, or actions to a given thing. Then they do whatever it takes to correct the problem, in order to align themselves back with empowerment.

6. Cells are always changing, evolving, and adapting to the conditions of the body.

The human body can eat something never digested before and still manage to succeed. The cells do not reject anything just because it is new, the cell will not hang on to old behavior patterns.

Empowered people go with the flow of the universe. If the evolving universe changes, empowered people change with it. No matter how fearful, unknown, or wrong it may seem. Something new will always seem wrong at first, because you never tried it before.

Empowered people trust that the universe knows something that they do not. They have no fears of the future because they know they create the future in the now. Right now they are empowered and therefore they are creating empowered experiences.

7. Cells have an instinct to know that they are going to die.

In order to keep the commitment of serving the body, they naturally reproduce. Through the reproduction process: the knowledge, wisdom, information, skills, talents, and ability to be the most effective cell possible, is transferred to their offspring. Cells survived and got to the point they are at (820 million years of evolution) through this process.

Empowered people empower their offspring by eliminating the generation gap. In this, they are accepting their physical death, but at the same time creating immortality.

8. Cells desire what other cells desire.

If the body desires something, all the cells desire it to. In meeting the bodies desires (by being committed to the bodies needs), the cells automatically meet theirs.

Empowered people desire for others, what they desire for themselves. For example, I desire for everyone on this planet to be happy, the only way to be happy is through positive thinking because I know it leads to positive beings of empowerment.

I desire this for everyone, hence I wrote an article on how to do just that and in turn it makes me happy knowing that others have the potential of being happy. By meeting your desire, my desire is met. I desire for you, what you desire for you.

9. Cells do not have the ability to rationalize that something is impossible.

Their main concern is the wellbeing of the body and if the body needs/desires something, then they intend and attend to that desire by paying attention to it. They know that if the body needs/desires something then they have the ability to give it just that, or the need/desire would not be there in the first place. They have nothing to prove, they just follow their purpose.

Empowered people intend their needs/desires to happen. They apply success by having a conviction point of view that nothing is impossible. They do not allow themselves to think about what they do not desire to happen, since they realize that thinking that way leads to pessimism and thinking pessimistic only leads to more things to be pessimistic about.

The empowered have nothing to prove to anybody. They do not give their point of view unless asked. They do not argue, debate, or converse in lower energies of this type. They know that getting involved in this kind of conversations leads to frustration and they seek to stay aligned with empowerment.

10. Cells do not take anything for granted.

When they see bacteria, they see an opportunity to determine rather it is invading or helpful. No matter what position the cells are in, they always see an opportunity to meet the cells or the bodies needs/desires.

To the empowered everything in their life is seen as an opportunity, even the setbacks, obstacles, and delays. They are grateful for everything because they realize that there is an opportunity in everything. For example, the setback may lead them to meeting the right person to help them achieve something.
