Welcome to Mind Connections, my writing space, sharing thoughts faced in my life. I envision this to be a place where people of a similar mind find a way to connect.
Hello!! My name is Jonathan Hilton, and my writing and thoughts have put me on a path to explore more. Mind Connections explains the phenomenon that I have felt while creating, writing, and exploring ideas. I am seeking the connection of like minds, sharing common positive beliefs, and learning how to live life to the fullest.
It was the spring of 2007 when I first felt like something was “not right” with my life. I had done all of the things I was supposed to do, got an education, a career, bought a house, was financially secure, and yet, and I did not feel my life had any real meaning. This led me to leave my job and embark on a journey of discovery. I spent a few years trying to use my old life and paradigms to provide guidance. The Universe sent me some clear responses that I did not possess the current knowledge to understand and solve my problems. It was then I decided to search for answers.
Since I didn’t know anyone with the answers, I was looking for, and I started to read. The first book was called “The Majesty of Calmness” by William George Jordan. A short little book, written over 100 years ago, was the perfect introduction to understanding life a little better. My Kindle worked overtime, and I went from book to book,
learning about all sorts of things. My greatest takeaway was that we are where we are in life because of the thoughts we entertain in our minds and the actions we take in life.
All people are responsible for all things occurring in their lives. It is through this lens, and I approach my life. Looking for ways to understand better my thoughts, emotions, and actions in the best way to make my life meaningful and enjoyable.
Even when things don’t go as we plan, we all know no matter how hard we plan, life will throw us curve balls designed to engender growth. Our lives are defined by the lessons we learn at this moment and the way we handle ourselves.
Raising My level of consciousness has become my passion in life and understanding that when I follow and focus on certain core principles in my life and live in alignment with them, things go well. When I fall off, and my focus isn’t so sharp, things are not so pleasant. Conscious thought about where my attention goes allows all of my energies to flow in that direction.
Truth, Love, Personal Power, Unity, Positive Choices, Courage, Understanding, and intelligence
Are positive principles I want to add to my life. I encourage you to find the laws in your life that resonate with you.
“I will do each day, in every moment, the best I can by the light I have: I will ever seek more truth and ever live as best I can in harmony with the truth as I see it. If my pathway then lies in the shadow of trial, sorrow, and suffering. I shall have the restful peace and the calm strength of one who has done his best, who can look back upon the past with no pang of regret, and who has heroic courage in facing the results, whatever they are, knowing that he could not make them different.”
