Your Feelings Are Big Clues!


How do you feel about abundance?

Maybe right this minute you don't feel much of anything - but take a moment to tune into your life as it stands today. Think about any debt you have, your income, the bills you have to pay each month, the things you wish you could do but don't yet have enough money to do them.
If thinking about these things doesn't bring up any heavy negative feelings, you probably have a pretty healthy "vibration" on the subject of money. That doesn't mean you don't want more, just that you're feeling "okay" about abundance overall.

But if thinking about these things made you feel heavy, depressed, frustrated, angry, or worried, there's a good chance you've got a strong negative vibration active when it comes to abundance, and that's a big clue that you're blocking more from coming in!

Are any of the following things true for you?
•You wonder why wealthy people are so lucky, and you are so unlucky!
•You can't see any simple way to improve your financial situation.
•You encounter setbacks and problems when you do try to improve it.

•You feel STUCK, and nothing you do outwardly seems to help.

These feelings are all powerful CLUES that you've got blockages against receiving more abundance. What's really happening is that you are OUT OF ALIGNMENT with money and abundance.

Have you ever driven a car that badly needed a front-end alignment? When you let go of the steering wheel for even a second, the car immediately veers sharply to the left or right. Driving a car like that requires a lot more effort because you are constantly trying to correct the car's tendency to veer off-track.

Being out of alignment vibrationally is very much like that.
You intend to move straight ahead to the the achievement of your goals, but because you aren't aligned you keep being yanked over in this direction or that direction, and you end up in places you don't want to be.

Believe it or not, it's not hard to correct a vibrational misalignment; it just takes some concentrated effort. You need to spend time each day deliberately bringing yourself into alignment with the essence of abundance. Here are a couple of good ideas for doing that:

1) Appreciate Abundance


When you don't have enough , it's easy to get into the habit of complaining about your  situation. You moan and groan and tell everyone you know that things are so difficult for you - and you end up feeling really sorry for yourself. Breaking this habit is vital because the more you tell the universe that your  situation is terrible, the more "terrible" you attract!

Start each morning by making a list of everything you appreciate about abundance. Why is abundance so good? What does it allow you to do? How would having plenty of money make you feel? Really get into the FEELING of appreciating money and all forms of abundance. Once you've done this as a concentrated exercise a few times, try carrying it into your daily life too.

Like when you are paying your bills, take a moment to appreciate that you have the money to pay them. When you receive money from any source, take a moment to be thankful and appreciative that you are receiving it. By doing so, you'll be telling the universe, "I like receiving money and I like having money to spend." - and the universe will start delivering more of that to you.

2) Eliminate Financial Negativity

If you often feel angry, stressed, or anxious about money, it's important to STOP associating those negative feelings with money. As challenging as it may be at first, start deliberately thinking more positive thoughts about your financial situation.
However, much more important than the actual words you say is the FEELING you focus on while you say them. The key is to replace heavy, negative feelings about money with lighter, more positive feelings about money. Those lighter, more positive feelings can be anything from hope to faith to optimism to trust - as long as they make you feel less weighed down, anxious or stressed, you are on the right track.

As you start changing how you FEEL about abundance each day, you start broadcasting a more positive "signal" and the universe starts sending experiences that match your new and improved signal.


Feel good about abundance = allow more abundance to flow in!

These suggestions are just the tip of the iceberg - there are literally dozens of things you can do to soothe yourself into feeling better about abundance. And that's really the whole key to "allowing" abundance - choose better thoughts, feel better, and your frequency rises and you allow more abundance to flow easily.

Your feelings really tell the whole story about what you are aligned with receiving in any given moment! The good news is that you have full control over what you think and how you feel. :-)


TODAY'S PROSPERITY AFFIRMATION:



Today I deliberately find ways to feel good about abundance.









If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.






Tuesday, February 28, 2012

You've heard that old saying: "If you put your mind to something you can achieve it."

But no one ever taught you how to really put your mind to something so that you do achieve it.
Yes you can achieve anything if you instruct your mind and subconscious mind properly.

Unfortunately most people don't know how to instruct their mind or subconscious mind so they never end up achieving what they really want.

Instead, they end up getting their mind and subconscious to create things they really don't want.
If you don't direct your mind and subconscious mind to focus on what you want, you'll likely end up
getting what you don't want, it's really that simple.

How can you stop creating what you don't want and get your mind and subconscious mind to actually work for you?

Most people don't control their mind; they don't instruct their subconscious mind because they don't control their thoughts.

Most people are not even aware of the thoughts they have everyday, and they don't choose their beliefs.
Instead you mind constantly sends the wrong messages or wrong instructions to your subconscious mind.

And that's how you end up creating the life you don't want. You want to be successful and happy, so do you have thoughts and beliefs that reflect success and happiness.

You don't actively choose your thoughts. Instead you leave your mind on autopilot, accepting whatever
thoughts it conjures up and then you begin to believe these thoughts.

You don't choose your beliefs; you merely accept what your mind and what other people tell you.
You may want to be successful and happy.
You may do everything you can to be successful and happy.
But if you're not enjoying the success and happiness you want then take a moment to analyze your thoughts and beliefs.

You'll find that what you think is the exact opposite of what you want to achieve.
Sure you want to be successful but you really don't have any thoughts or beliefs that suggest you can be successful.
Whatever you want to achieve you can if you have a belief system that allows you to succeed.

If you want to make more money you have to have a belief system that says you believe you can make more money.

If you want to meet the right person you have to believe that you can meet the right person.
If you want to succeed at something you have to believe that you can succeed at it.

So how do you create beliefs that correspond with what you want to accomplish?
First think about what you want to achieve. Then ask yourself if you really believe that you can accomplish your goal.
If you don't believe you can there's work to do and you're going to have to change your belief
system so that it allows you to succeed.

To change your belief system you have to analyze your thoughts.
List all the thoughts and beliefs that you have about achieving that goal.



Now change those thoughts to correspond with what you want. These are your new thoughts, statements or affirmations that you should think and recite through out the day.

Replace those limiting thoughts with these new thoughts. If you want to achieve success and happiness then you have to create thoughts and beliefs that will allow you to achieve those goals.
Begin changing your thoughts.
Begin creating beliefs that work for you.
Eliminate the negative thoughts and beliefs.

Think of your mind as a station that sends out energy signals. These energy signals are your thoughts and beliefs. These energy patterns are picked up by your subconscious mind which then goes out and creates the situations, circumstances, and events to help you achieve what ever your thoughts and beliefs are.

It also attracts the people to you and guides you to the people that can help you achieve your goals.
The subconscious does not distinguish between what is good and bad for you. It simply acts on your instructions.
Those instructions are your energy signals which are your thoughts and beliefs.
So while you may want to achieve a certain goal, if you don't believe that you can, if you regularly
think about why you can't do something instead of why you can, then you are instructing your subconscious to create situations for you so that you don't achieve your goals.

This is why it is so important to eliminate negative thinking and create a positive thinking pattern.
If you want to start achieving your goals and live the life you want then you have to change your
thoughts and beliefs you have to send the right messages to your subconscious mind.



You can achieve your goals.
You can live the life you want.
You can enjoy greater success and happiness.
You deserve to have all that you want.

They keep coming.

They keep coming.

You try to push them out of your head.
You try to get rid of them.
You don't want to believe them.
But they're so strong that they just spread.
And before you know it you're feeling negative and doubt you'll ever succeed.
Then you give up and say: "what's the point?"
They're negative thoughts and negative beliefs. They destroy any chance for success. They don't help you and they just make you feel like there's no hope. These negative thoughts tell you that you can't, that you don't know how, that you're not good enough, that you'll never succeed at anything.

At first you don't believe them. But they spread like weeds and eventually you believe them.
Then life gets worse, a lot worse. Sure you want more.
Yes you want a better life.
You may even think that you deserve it.
But then just as you start to think maybe I can...

Those negative thoughts creep back in and force you to give up.
Well it doesn't have to be that way. You can turn things around.

Getting rid of those negative thoughts is a top priority. No matter what you do, what you try, what books you read you won't create the success or changes you want until you get rid of those negative thoughts.

Now you won't be able to get rid of all your negative thoughts. So get rid of the negative thoughts that don't allow you to succeed. Any thought that says you can't or don't know how needs to be changed or eliminated.
At first this won't be easy.
Your mind will fight back. It will insist on keeping those negative thoughts. Then they'll get stronger.
That's because these thoughts and beliefs are planted on your subconscious mind.
You can't just reach in and pluck them out (like you do with weeds).
Instead, you have to re-direct the subconscious.Give it new information.
Give it new thoughts and beliefs to follow.

So take a gentle approach and every time you catch yourself having a negative thought change it.
Then give it some support, like why you can instead of why you can't.

Now comes the tricky part. Give yourself reasons why you can make more money or why you can achieve what you want.
At first you probably won't come up with answers.
If that happens - think back to when you earned your first dollar.
If you've ever earned a single dollar then you know how to make money.

If you want to meet the right person then think back to when you first met someone you were interested in or your first relationship.


This is how you give your subconscious mind new directions.
When you keep giving yourself reasons you start to believe.

First you start to believe that maybe you can. Then that belief gets stronger. And when you start believe without a doubt that you can that's when real changes happen - quickly.

Track your thoughts. Get rid of the negative thoughts.
Create new positive thoughts.
Give yourself reasons to succeed.
Believe in yourself.

Continue to direct your subconscious and your inner powers.
Give them new beliefs to follow today


Your thoughts and beliefs create your life.
What ever you think and believe you will see in your life.
Your subconscious and your inner powers follow your thoughts and beliefs as instructions.

They bring you exactly what you think and believe.
When you think and believe that it's difficult to make money then you will always get into situations that make it difficult to make money.

If you think and believe that it's hard to meet the right person then you will always have a hard time meeting the right person. So get rid of the negative thoughts and beliefs.
Eliminate them.
Replace the negative thoughts and beliefs with positive thoughts and beliefs.
Tell your subconscious and your inner powers to bring you what you want so that you enjoy your life and
achieve the success you want today








Are We There Yet?

Did you ever take a long car trip when you were younger? If so, you may remember that it seemed to take FOREVER to reach your destination! Like most other kids, you may have kept asking, "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"


A lot of people do this when working with the Law of Attraction too! They spend time each day visualizing, scripting, saying affirmations, creating vision boards and using other manifestation techniques, and they keep looking at their outer circumstances to see if anything has changed.

Is my abundance here yet? Is my soul mate here yet? Is my dream home here yet? Why is this taking so long?!



The problem is, the more you focus on impatience and frustration because the things you want aren't showing up yet, the longer it's going to take! You'll be broadcasting a message of "I don't have what I want" to the universe, so you'll keep attracting more and more experiences of not having what you want.

"Well, I DON'T have what I want; how am I supposed to broadcast a different message so I can finally attract what I want?!"

There are several ways to do it, but here are two of my favorites:

1) Pretend you already have it.
There is a TON of power in pretending! When you pretend, you actually broadcast the signal to the universe as if what you are thinking and feeling is REAL. So, if you were to spend time pretending that you had all of the money you desire, you actually communicate that to the universe as a FACT. The universe then starts returning more and more experiences of having plenty of money. Keep in mind that this is not usually instant - it does take awhile for the frequency to become stable within you. But in a matter of days, and especially a few weeks, you can make DRAMATIC progress just by pretending that you already have what you want.

2) Distract yourself.

Another good option is to just keep distracting yourself from the temptation to focus on impatience and frustration. Good distractions are any activities that make you feel good. You can spend time engaging in hobbies you enjoy, go out dancing, watch a funny movie, play outside with your kids or pets - anything that takes your mind off the fact that you don't yet have the things you really want. Again, this may take a little time to fully work, but it's not impossible to see some progress in a few days to a few weeks.

No matter how you do it, you have to stop "watching and waiting" for your heart's desires to show up because that just prolongs their arrival. Instead, move yourself into the mental and emotional state of already having them (or being happy despite their absence). That will make them arrive much more quickly and easily.

TODAY'S LAW OF ATTRACTION QUOTE:
""Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called." - A.A. Milne

LAW OF ATTRACTION TIP: THE PRUNING SHEARS OF REVISION


In "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne, there is a technique she mentions called "The Pruning Shears of Revision." (pg. 73) This came from a lecture given by Neville Goddard in 1954.

The process involves thinking through the events of the day before you go to sleep, and if any events did not go the way you wanted, you should replay them in your mind and change the ending to one that makes you happy.

Rhonda Byrne says about this process, "As you recreate those events in your mind exactly as you want, you are cleaning up your frequency from the day and you are emitting a new signal and frequency for tomorrow. You have intentionally created new pictures for your future. It is never too late to change the pictures."

Can you sense the power in this type of exercise? Can you feel the excitement and satisfaction it would generate? If you really are the creator of your own life, your creative inspiration has just been given a huge boost in power.
Have fun with it. :-)

TODAY'S AFFIRMATION:




I choose to FEEL as if I already have what I want.

Get What You Want And.........More...........

Have you ever needed to make the right choice or decision but you're just not sure what to do?

It happens a lot and it would be great if you could just get the right answer with confidence and move forward.

Well, you can.

When you use your special power.
That special power is your intuition.

Once you know how to communicate with your intuition and understand when your intuition is speaking to you, you'll easily make the right choices and enjoy greater success with ease
Your intuition is always working, always guiding you and always helping you make the right choices.


When things don't work out it's not because your intuition isn't working or that it's not trying to guide you.


Instead, it's because you didn't understand your intuition, didn't know it was giving you a message or refused to listen to it.

The most common reason for making the wrong choice or not getting what you want is that you don't understand when your intuition is sending you a message or you don't understand the message - you just didn't see it.
Your intuition communicates in many ways, you just have to learn to pay attention and recognize its messages.

Your intuition can communicate through a friend, a colleague, your partner/spouse, a relative, a newspaper, radio, television a gut feeling - it will communicate in many different forms.


In order to get that intuitive guidance you first have to work with your intuition and this means asking for what you want in a simple but specific way.

Here's how you work with your intuition.

Think of what you want. Then begin doing what you can to make it a reality.
After a while take a break, let go by doing something completely different. Don't give up, just take a break.

When you get an urge to do something that will help you accomplish your goals go ahead but pay attention.
Listen to what others say, listen to what others suggest, see every little thing that unfolds as an opportunity to help you achieve your goal.
Trust the process.
Trust that you're always being guided to what you want and that you will get there when you make it a priority.
Then see what happens.

It works. Sometimes your intuition guides you directly.

Sometimes it makes the choice obvious.
Sometimes your intuition communicates through a friend or somebody you know and trust.
You have to be open minded and willing to explore all options.

Your intuition is always guiding you.To get understand the message you need to learn how to work with your intuition and communicate with it regularly. Once you've built that trust with your intuition the process
becomes easy and it can be a lot of fun.

Follow your instincts and remember intuition can come from anywhere.
Opportunities surround you it's up to you to see them.
You are a powerful human being.

You have tremendous power.
You just need to learn how to use that power so that
you start creating the life you want.
Begin directing your intuition.
Begin working with your subconscious mind so that you enjoy a happier, more rewarding life.

Mark 17

A minister told his congregation, "Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17."




The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the

minister asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17. Every hand went up. The minister smiled and said, "Mark has only sixteen chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying."



Difference Between Love and Marriage

What is Love?


----------------------
One day, Plato asked his teacher, "What is love? How can I find it?" His teacher answered, "There is a vast wheat field in front. Walk forward without turning back, and pick only one stalk. If you find the most magnificent stalk, then you have found love." Plato walked forward, and before long, he returned with empty hands,having picked nothing.His teacher asked, "Why did you not pick any stalk?" Plato answered, "Because I could only pick once, and yet I could not turn back. I did find the most magnificent stalk, but did not know if there were any better ones ahead, so I did not pick it. As I walked further, the stalks that I saw were not as good as the earlier one, so I did not pick any in the end.His teacher then said, "And that is love."



What is Marriage?

----------------------------
On another day, Plato asked his teacher, "What is marriage? How can I find it?" His teacher answered, "There is a thriving forest in front. Walk forward without turning back, and chop down only one tree. If you find the tallest tree, then you have found marriage." Plato walked forward, and before long, he returned with a tree. The tree was not thriving, and it was not tall either. It was only an ordinary tree. His teacher asked, "Why did you chop down such an ordinary tree?" Plato answered, "Because of my previous experience. I walked halfway through

the forest. This time, I saw this tree, and I felt that it was not bad, so I chopped it down and brought it back. I did not want to miss the opportunity." His teacher then said, "And that is marriage."







Fire Your Desire!

“Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.”


- Napoleon Hill


Desire breathes life into your dreams and fuels your imagination and expectation, enhancing your manifesting potential. When you get in touch with your desire, your imagination, along with all the positive thoughts and feelings about your goal, are ignited.

To get in touch with the desire you have for a goal or dream, ask yourself:
“Why do I want this?”
As you answer the ‘Whys’, your passions and emotions stir, and your imagination flows.
Start by asking yourself the question, "What do I love?" Or "What would I love to be, do and have?"


Let your thoughts and feelings spill onto a page. Write passionately, freely, without analyzing anything you're writing, and let your heart express all that you love and that brings you joy. You might be surprised. Just be open and allow this deeper connection with yourself and your desires.

You can also ask yourself, “Where are my gifts, strengths and talents?”, for here you will also discover clues to your passions and desires. The gifts we have brought into this lifetime are things that when expressed and offered, when engaged and accessed, bring joy, fulfillment and satisfaction. They are things we desire to implement and share.

There is a difference between desire, and need, which it is often confused with........
Desire versus Need



There is a difference between desire, and need or desperation. Need and desperation are synonymous with feelings of lack and the absence of what you want, hence will repel your desired goal and perpetuate you not having it.

Desire, however, is a positive generating emotion. It fuels your imagination and positive feelings associated with your goal so integral to successfully attracting it.

Be passionate about your outcome yet remain light-hearted and unattached to ensure you don’t become needy or dependent on it. One way to dissipate and release feelings of neediness, urgency or desperation, is to TRUST.

Trust in the positive outcome in your goal. Trust in the love and grace of the universe and the power of your heart and mind. Trust that you are on a co-creative journey, that there is a bigger picture, and that there is love, help and guidance available to you in every moment. Trust that the universe wants you to have what you desire as much as you do. Trust that you are loved more than you know and that the universe loves you more than you love yourself. Trust that what is in your highest interest will transpire, and let go of a need for one specific outcome.

Life doesn’t need to be a struggle, and you can have what you desire with belief, positive expectation and a willingness to receive.

Trust that if you let go of something, be that a person, thing or outcome, if it is for your best it will come back to you is for your highest good. If you truly desire it and are in energetic alignment with it (i.e. have congruent beliefs and take relevant action, etc.), you will manifest it if it.

It is holding on, neediness and attachment that ironically push away the very things you want.

You may notice this dynamic in relationships. It’s the same with all things. If you let go of something and it is for your best, it will be there. Relax, trust, loosen your grip, relinquish control and release your dreams and visions into the world. Trust, believe, open to receive and expect their materialization in your world.

If you are trying to hard to ‘make’ things happen or controlling, it means that a part of you doesn’t fully expect, believe or trust things will go your way, and this conflicting stance and energetic signal can interfere with your manifesting success.
If you are feeling a need to control or you are trying and struggling for success, it can be worthwhile to dig a little deeper to see if there are any faulty or limiting beliefs standing between you and your desires.

Instead of pushing or controlling to succeed, stop and breathe, and allow, attract and receive!
Courtsey/Aine Belton









Memo from God

To: You

Date: Today
From: The BOSS
Subject: Yourself

Reference: LIFE


I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems.
Please Remember that I do not need your help.

If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

If you find yourself stuck in traffic; don’t despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; think of the person who has never known what it’s like to love and be loved in return.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn’t live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people’s bitterness,ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

A Reason, A Season or A Life Time.


People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty,
to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met,
our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson,love the person and put what you have learned to use
in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life,
Whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.



Can't Stop Thinking About It..............

You keep thinking about it

And every time you think about it your stomach turns
Maybe You get upset
Maybe You get angry

You feel like somebody stole something from you
How dare they do that
How could you be so foolish
How could you make such a mistake

You keep beating yourself up and you don't know why
Your mind gets filled with negative thoughts
You keep hanging on. Thinking about it over and over again.
You can't sleep.
You want to do something but don't know what.
You just keep hanging on to those memories.
You keep thinking about what happened.
You keep beating yourself up...

The negative thoughts keep coming...
You just can't let go...

But you CAN let go.
And you CAN move on.

You CAN stop beating yourself up
You CAN get rid of those negative thoughts.

You're only hanging on to the past and those memories because your mind doesn't know any better.
It doesn't have anything else to think about.

You get all those negative thoughts because that's what your mind is used to thinking about - it simply doesn't know any better.


You want things to change.
You want things to get better.
And they will.

As soon as you take charge of your mind and get rid of those negative thoughts you'll change your life.

You'll gain more confidence.
You'll believe in yourself.
You'll achieve all your goals.
You'll enjoy your life.
You'll make more money
You'll be happy.

But that will only happen when you get rid of the negative thoughts and begin filling your mind with new, positive thoughts.
Those thoughts of worry, doubt, fear, and anger cripple you.
They don't allow you to succeed.
They hold you back.
Now you need to change those thoughts.
Fill your mind with positive thoughts.

Direct your subconscious to bring you what you want.
Take charge of your life and being enjoying it today

Your subconscious mind creates your life based on your thoughts and beliefs.

Positive thoughts create positive beliefs. Positive beliefs create a positive life.
Simple and powerful. It's been proven over and over again.

But for some reason you can't get your mind to stay positive.
Those negative thoughts and negative beliefs still dominate your mind and life.

It's only because you haven't taken charge of your mind and actively directed your subconscious mind.
So start by eliminating the negative thoughts.
Fill your mind with positive thoughts.
Think about why you can do something.
How you can succeed.
Why you can move forward.
With practice you'll get better.
The more often you get rid of those negative thoughts the better life gets.
That means you have to do this everyday.

Professional athletes practice everyday - even during their off-season. They do everything they can to stay in shape. They go through numerous exercises and routines. They keep doing the same thing over and over again, and they do this for years. It's a way of life for them and that's why they're so successful.

You have to keep your mind and subconscious mind in shape. That means you have to practice everyday.
So get rid of those negative thoughts everyday. Direct your subconscious to create what you want everyday.

Stop thinking about why you can't do something or why you failed.
Let go of those bad memories and believe in yourself.

Negative thoughts will destroy your life. Negative beliefs create more misery, struggle and unhappiness.
Get rid of the negative thoughts today.
Create positive and empowering beliefs today.

Believe in yourself.
You can and will achieve all your goals when you believe... !!!

Two little mischievous boys


A couple had two little mischievous boys, ages 8 and 10. They were always getting into trouble, and their parents knew that if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons would get the blame.

The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed and asked to see them individually.
So, the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.

The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"

They boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open.
The clergyman repeated the question. "Where is God?"

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer.

So, the clergyman raised his voice some more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "Where is God!?"
The boy screamed and bolted from the room. He ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied: "We are in real BIG trouble this time! God is missing, and they think we did it!"



11 Powerful Motivational Thoughts for You



Please do yourself the honor of slowing down for a few minutes to read these motivational thoughts. I promise it will be well worth your while. Take a few deep and clearing breaths, too – did you ever stop in your tracks and notice how short and shallow your breathing can be when it's go-go-go all the time?

Breathe deep, enjoy these 11 powerful motivational thoughts, and if you feel they are worthwhile, please share this page with others.

Motivational Thought #1: Your Goals, the Doubters, the Reality

When it comes to your greatest goals, if anyone tells you that you shouldn’t, that you couldn’t, remember that all they are really saying is that they don’t believe they could. Never let the doubters drag you down.

If in those quiet times you can see the goal in your mind’s eye, if you can feel the joy of it throughout your being, then it is already yours, and it is now just a matter of working through the emotional barriers like fear, impatience, worry, and guilt to bring your goals, your reality, to light.

Motivational Thought #2: The Greatest Form of Strength

Love yourself by slowing down a few moments and visualizing this: what if, no matter what anyone else said or did, you responded with kindness? See it, feel it. If you were kind no matter what, are your fears that some people would walk all over you really justified?

Remember, kindness is not synonymous with giving up or giving in. You can stand your ground and be kind at the same time, and in fact achieve far more in doing so. Kindness is not weakness, it is the greatest form of strength. Do your best to try it, and watch the difference it makes.

Motivational Thought #3: How Do You Treat Yourself?


Listen for twenty minutes, two hours, or a day to how you treat yourself. Listen to the things you say to yourself, the things you expect of yourself, and how you respond to yourself when you don’t achieve them. Do you act like that and talk like that and expect like that to anyone else you love? Your children, your parents, your spouse, your best friend?

Stop being so mean to you. You are a good person worthy of your love, respect, understanding, and forgiveness.
Treat yourself as you would like to be treated by others.




Motivational Thought #4: Ha!

Change Your Life,

Laugh Along the Way. Create an abundance of laughter experiences in your life. Watch funny movies, hang out with funny people, read funny motivational quotes, listen to comedians in your car, make stupid faces at yourself in the mirror. Nothing could be healthier.

Motivational Thought #5: This Baby is a Jerk

Have you ever looked at a newborn baby and thought, “This baby is such a major jerk?” Of course not. Babies, along with many of those on the brink of death, are the human beings closest to the good and perfect spirit at the core of all of us.
Whenever it feels like someone’s words or actions are irritating or harming you, if you ever feel disgust or hatred for another, try to open your eyes wider to see them as the newborn they still are. The rust and crust of years and decades of unrecognized and unresolved emotions may have layered upon that newborn, making him or her confused, annoying, mean, or malicious, but always try to see the newborn.

This is no excuse to enable their words or actions if indeed they are offensive or destructive, nor an excuse for you not to work toward positively countering their words or actions if that is what you know you must do.
But first, it will help you make sure you aren’t giving their words and actions more power over your heart, your mind, and your actions than they deserve. Second, it will help you keep seeing people and the world for what they are, which is flawed in their transitory sense, but beautiful and perfect in their essence.

This will make all the difference in how you act, versus react, in this world.

Motivational Thought #6: What If I Switched You?
If I could take your consciousness, and the things you currently spend your energy on doing, and the way you currently think and respond to things, and drop that you into any other living human being, do you really believe you would be any more or less happy in their body and circumstances than you are in your own?

Consider that deeply. What does it mean?

Motivational Thought #7: So You Wanna Be Rich?

Aside from those who are so desperately poor that they may be hungry every day and have no roof over their head, there is no correlation between wealth and happiness. Studies confirm this, and I have worked extensively with both those financially poor and rich, and I second those studies. Lottery winners who end up far more miserable after winning than before have become a cliché.

Slow down and take the time to become aware of yourself, and therefore of your real goals. Know what you are willing to spend your real most precious resource – your energy – on.
Will you spend it chasing after external illusions of change and comfort like money, mates, and mansions, only to be exponentially frustrated if and when you get them but feel no greater (and likely less) peace and joy for it?
Or will you spend it on building your wisdom and clearing through the emotional barriers like fear, anger, and guilt that are the only thing preventing you from recognizing and doing what you are meant to, from meeting who you are meant to meet, and from allowing what is meant to come into your world to come in … so that you can experience the wealth of peace and happiness already inside you?

Motivational Thought #8: Let the World Open to You

You don’t lack anything. The more you struggle against this truth, the more people and the world seem to close to you and the more miserable you feel. The more aware of this truth you strive to become, the more the wealth of people and the world opens to you.

Motivational Thought #9: You


You are a miracle. This life is remarkable, and you have remarkable gifts inside you – various forms of beautiful brilliance - to give to other lives.

Motivational Thought #10: You, Continued
You are amazing!!!!!


Motivational Thought #11:
Always remember that you are loved!!!!

If You Don't Want to Create It . . . Don't Focus On It!

Do you ever catch yourself focusing on something that you definitely don't want to create more of in your life? Even worse, do you focus on these negative things with a lot of strong, negative emotion?


We all do it. Sometimes it seems impossible to avoid it - especially when some of these things are just so annoying/frustrating/exhausting/exasperating...constantly popping up in your face and grabbing your attention.
The problem is, if you don't stop doing that - if you don't stop focusing on things that annoy or upset you, you will continue to attract more of them. Whatever you are ALIGNED with is what you will keep ATTRACTING into your life.

Being "aligned" with something means your thoughts and feelings are vibrating on the same energetic frequency as it is. You can only allow situations that are in alignment with what you are thinking and feeling. If you are aligned with financial problems, that's all you can see. If you are aligned with abundance and financial ease, that's all you can see.

So obviously, it's worthwhile to deliberately align your thoughts and feelings with the abundance you seek - but how?
First, stop focusing on the stuff that annoys you or bothers you in any way. Obviously, you'll be focused on it in the moment it first comes up - that's okay, but then remove your focus from it as soon as you realize, "Whoops, this is not something I want to create more of".

Turn your attention elsewhere. Focus on something that makes you feel good. Tell yourself funny "knock-knock" jokes. Listen to uplifting music. Think about someone you love. Affirm that your finances are getting better by the minute. Imagine how great it will be when you have much more money, the things you will buy and do, the fun you will have, etc.


It doesn't matter how you do it, but your number one goal is to find a way to feel better, either about the subject that was just bothering you, OR by moving your attention to another subject altogether.

It seems really hard to do this at first - by sheer habit your mind WANTS to keep following those same old negative patterns. But if you persist in redirecting it consistently to better thoughts, it will eventually get the message and follow along much more easily. Eventually, it becomes second nature, and  - a new, healthy, positive thought habit is born. :-)

I have the power to CHOOSE what I focus on!!!!!!


Let life come, without striving to force it. Let life come, and it will unfold with great abundance.


The feeling you seek is already yours. If it was not, then how could you even know about it?


Allow that feeling to live and breathe and grow and flow throughout your life. The life you wish to experience is yours when you let go and let it be.
Listen to those little inspirations that quietly whisper. There is a reason why you hear them and feel their truth.


Act in harmony with what you know is right and what you know is best. Instead of struggling against what is, ride joyously and successfully along with life’s continuously unfolding possibilities.


Let life come. And live the beauty as each new moment is born.












Sending Out The Right Energy?...

It's all about energy. Our life, our success, our happiness... everything is all about energy.


We're all made of energy... tiny molecules vibrating at a certain frequency... this vibrating energy makes up our existence.


Everything is made of energy... and it's that same energy that we constantly direct that attracts everything into our life. Now there are different kinds of energy... or different levels... and that's what makes everything so interesting.

Positive energy attracts positive situation.
Negative energy attracts negative situations.
Positive energy repels negative situations.
And negative energy repels positive situations.

If you're negative you'll attract more negative people, and more negative situations.
You'll also push away positive people and positive situations.

If you're positive you'll attract positive people and positive situations. You'll also push away negative people and negative situations.

So if you're not getting what you want - then you're likely not sending out the right energy.

You see other people pick up on your energy vibrations on a subconscious level.
They don't really know it - they just get a sense about you - a feeling or a vibe about you. They don't consciously say: "This is someone positive, lets get to know him or her."

It all happens on a subconscious level. But it starts in the conscious mind.
Your thoughts, and beliefs shape your energy level... they create that vibrating energy.

Your thoughts and beliefs are sent to your subconscious mind which radiates your energy level (the very energy that others pick up on).

Positive thoughts and positive beliefs create positive energy. Those with positive energy attract positive situations, good things happen to them, they meet terrific people and enjoy life. As they continue doing this they naturally become more optimistic. They take positive actions, and they continue to attract more and more positive situations, people and events into their lives.

If your filled with negative thoughts, self-doubt, worry, uncertainty, and if you generally feel that things will never work out or get better then you're sending out the energy that will only attract more of what you don't want... or more worry, self-doubt, and uncertainty... all of which will only cause you to feel that things will never work out.

It's a vicious cycle and if it isn't broken will only lead to more and more negative situations.
So how do you change your energy?
How do you create positive energy so that you enjoy positive situations?

Think about what you want and then write down your immediate thoughts and beliefs. See if they're positive or negative. If there's any self doubt, or any negative thought - then you probably have a negative belief tied to the thought.

Both need to be changed ASAP.

Then track your thoughts throughout the week. Are they generally negative or positive. Change as many negative thoughts as you can. You won't be able to change all of them, just change as many as you can.
You should also track what you say to people in every day conversations.
You might be surprised at what you discover.
If you find yourself saying negative things - change those words.
This is part of the process.

To change your energy send a new message to your subconscious mind. Create positive thoughts and positive beliefs. Begin developing positive energy. Attract positive people and positive situations .

Changing your energy can be done. It's a lot easier than you think.
You have the power to shift your energy and attract the people, situations and circumstances that will catapult you to success.

The more positive and optimistic you are the sooner you'll create positive energy.
Believe in yourself.

Believe in your ability.

You can do anything you want.

Don't let negative thinking hold you back.

Don't let those negative thoughts destroy your success.

Change the negative beliefs and create more positive situations in life !!!!!!

The Honey Bee

Look at Honey Bee. It works so hard flying from one flower to
another collecting honey. And then it also builds a nice bee
hive. It still continues to work hard and gets more honey.

And then a guy comes and breaks open the bee hive to get the
sweet honey. The bees after that also really does not think too
about it and then goes about building one more.

This is very similar to what happens in life. You cannot really
focus on all the wrong things in life especially the ones in the
future! You need to work hard to get results and expect the best.
Even if there are other challenges, just keep working more and
focus on your higher goals!

What are you willing to believe??


You believe what you believe, right?
Nope. Belief is a choice, a habit of thought.
So, what do you choose to think?

Thoughts create your reality!!!!!!


What are you willing to think again and again until it becomes so real to you that it is a belief?
Beliefs are powerful. Once set, you will start to see “evidence” supporting your beliefs everywhere.
Beliefs are like thoughts on steroids, turbo-charged, exponentially more powerful.

What do you want to believe?
So, do you want to believe in lack??
Or, do you want to believe in abundance?

Your choice.
What are you willing to believe?


Law of Attraction Tip: Be deliberate about what you think. Monitor your thoughts and ask yourself, “Is this the world I want to live in?” ”Is this what I want to create?” Your thoughts are powerful.

Thoughts Create!♥

How to Order from the Universe


The universe you live in works very much like a popular restaurant. You go in, you decide what you want, you order it, you receive it, and you digest it.

Unfortunately, a lot of people don't seem to know how to order. Some are downright inept at it. They walk into this restaurant, behave like complete idiots, and they end up hungry and disappointed. Then they complain about the restaurant and post negative reviews online, despite the fact that the restaurant has received rave reviews from the most experienced food critics.

The Universal Restaurant


I can't tell you how many times I encounter people who set goals like, "I want a romantic partner," or "I want a stable job that pays more money," or "I want to lose weight." I've heard enough of this drivel to last a lifetime. It's reached the point where I may start carrying around a squirt gun and shoot people in the eye when they say stuff like this.

Those are crap goals. Don't waste your time on them. And definitely don't say them within earshot of me.
Setting such goals is the equivalent of walking into a restaurant and proclaiming, "I'm hungry. I want some food."

First, people will look at you like you're an idiot. They're only doing that because you are.
Second, you won't get fed.


If you're lucky, someone might hand you a menu and ask you what you'd like to order. You can order off the menu, or you can concoct something creative, but either way you have to be specific. If you stand there asking for food, you'll remain hungry.

Is this happening in your life right now? Are you standing at the Universal Restaurant, waiting for your desires to manifest, and receiving only static in response? Might the reason be that the wait staff can't figure out what the heck you're actually trying to order?

The Universe is extremely adept at fulfilling your desires — but only if you have the wherewithal to decide and order what you want. If you can't do that — and it matters not what excuses you have — you will remain hungry.

Sometimes the universe will take a stab at bringing your what you ask for. Then you reject it because, although it's what you asked for (such as a generic "romantic partner"), it isn't what you actually want. Then maybe the universe tries a few more times, and you continue to send back whatever it brings you. So eventually it gives up, concluding that you're an unreasonable customer and that it's better off spending its time and energy serving the patrons who know how to place an order properly. It says, "Ok, we're done for now. Call me back to your table when you've figured out what you actually want."

How to Order


When you set goals and intentions, place an order. Don't ask, "Please can I…?" Simply order, much like you would in a restaurant. Say, "I'll have the …" Then expect to receive what you order.

Don't be timid or cowardly or uncertain. Just state your order, and expect to get it. If you screw this up, no soup for you.
Take as much time as you want to decide what to order, but when you place your order, accept what you ordered, and know that you're going to receive it. You may have some buyer's remorse if it's not as good as you hoped, but that's okay. Receive it anyway. There will always be other meals, other orders. Not everything you receive will taste like ambrosia.
Be specific in asking for what you want.
Don't ask for more money. If you want $50K cash, then order $50K cash. Don't ask for it. Order it.
Don't ask for a better job. If you want to be a fashion blogger who travels around the world and gets free invites to major fashion shows and has 500,000 monthly readers, then order that.

Don't ask for a romantic partner. If you want a geeky, vegan, bisexual, happily jobless girlfriend who loves to travel, then order that. Order it loudly enough so your waiter can hear you, and people at nearby tables will say, "I didn't know that was on the menu. I'll have one of those too… with a twist of lemon."

One of the best ways to get what you actually want is to take your best guess, and order it. When you get what you ask for, it may not turn out quite right. That contrast between what you received and how you feel about it will give you a better sense of what you actually do want. Then you can make a better guess and take another stab at placing an order.
As you repeat this process, you'll gradually hone in on what you actually desire most at a very deep level. And then you'll get a chance to receive and experience it fully.

Realize that this is an iterative process. Don't be a perfectionist. That's like sitting in a restaurant for hours, trying to decide what you want, while impatient waiters periodically refill your water glass and pressure you to order something. It's just a meal, so make a decision, get fed, and get out. Even if it turns out to be less than you hoped for, there will be plenty of other meals. The occasional bad meal is inevitable.



How to Be an Idiot Who Can't Order at a Restaurant

What happens if you change your order before you receive it? Same thing that happens in a real restaurant. What would happen if you grabbed the waiter and changed your order before it arrived? No problem, but you'll have to wait even longer because the waiter has to cancel the original order and then submit the new one. And if you keep doing that over and over, you'll piss off the waiter and will never receive a meal. Have you been doing something like that in real life? Blue… no red… no blue! Ahhhh!

What happens if you order something, and then when you get it, you don't like it? You can eat it anyway, or you can send it back. Either way, there will be other meals. You can always order again. Learn from the experience, and do your best to make a more intelligent choice next time. You may need to sample a few items from the menu to figure out what you like and don't like. Your first order at any new restaurant may very well be your worst experience there.

What happens if you complain about the way the system works? It's not fair! I can't figure out what I want! I keep going back and forth between two possibilities! Stop pressuring me! You're free to do that, but the system will process you like an idiot. Again, that's only because you are.

If you rail against the system, it's not going to work for you. If you can't follow the simple rules, the system will process you like an idiot customer till you figure it out.

Here are the rules: Decide what you want, order it, receive it, and digest it. It's not rocket science. Don't make it complicated. It's easier to follow the rules than it is to break them. Even a child can do it.


Your Choice


Despite the obvious drawbacks, you're still free to behave like an idiot customer whenever you choose. You're free to make a vague request. You're free to change your mind every 5 minutes. You're free to reject your order after it arrives. But of course all of those actions have consequences. If you behave stupidly, you'll get stupid results.

Technically speaking, this isn't a problem. The Universal Restaurant is robust enough to handle people like you. It will process you without prejudice. However, you won't have a very good experience, and in the end you'll be disappointed with the food and/or service. Other members of your party will also be disappointed, either with the restaurant or with you personally. No one at your table will seem to be having a good time unless you order properly. If you screw it up, you'll ruin everyone's evening.

This restaurant, however, is perfectly capable of preparing the most amazing gourmet meals you could ever fancy. You just have to order properly. Be specific. Be clear, direct, and confident. Be audible. And don't keep changing your mind after you've placed your order.

When you receive your order, accept it with gratitude. Smell it. Taste it. Savor each delicious bite. Share it with others at your table if they'd like a taste, and taste some of their food too. It won't be perfect, but it's better than going hungry. Learn from the experience, and allow it to inform your future ordering decisions. Eventually you'll become a master connoisseur of the Universal Restaurant.

Work with the rules of the Universal Restaurant to enjoy the best meals of your life. Don't rail against the system. Don't be a clueless customer. And don't post negative reviews about it online.

Note: The Universal Restaurant is not to be confused with The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. I know that's what you were thinking. :)

The House of 1000 Mirrors


Long ago in a small, far away village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?
Japanese Folktale





EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE


There is a famous saying: "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence."
At times, human beings are not satisfied with what they have. People seem to do well until, unfortunately, they experience a loss. Then, usually, they want to be better - to experience the "green grass." It's human nature to always want to be better, to have more. Isn't that what is meant by the phrase "dream big?" At times, dreaming big might be great; however, at other times one should be thankful for what one has.


Consider the story of the 85 year old grandmother taking her 5 year old grandson, Johnny, to the beach for the first time. She was so excited. She bought Johnny a brand new complete outfit for his first time at the beach: new cap, new swimsuit, new t-shirt, new shoes and a new sand bucket with a shovel.


They walked to the beach holding hands. As they got to the sand, Johnny said, "Grandma, because I can't swim I won't go near the water; so I'll just dig up the sand with my new shovel far from the sea."


However, Johnny had difficulty digging up the hard sand far from the water. Therefore, he said, "Grandma, this sand is too hard. Can I get close to the water where the sand is easier to dig?" Johnny quickly added, "But I promise I won't go in the water."


Hesitantly, the grandmother looked into Johnny's begging big eyes and said, "Okay, but promise you won't go in the water."


Johnny screamed with glee, "I promise." As he was close to the ocean he was having such a good time, digging and digging with ease in the soft sand. Unfortunately, a huge wave came on the shore and swallowed up little Johnny, taking him out to sea.



With her vigilant eyes, watching him from afar, his grandmother screamed, "Oh my God! Oh my God! Help me God!"


Just then, another huge wave thundered onto the beach from the ocean and "spit forth" little Johnny safely back on the shore.


Elated, the grandmother ran toward the boy and tightly hugged her 5 year old grandson. Wiping tears from her eyes she cried out as she looked toward the heavens, "Thank you God! Thank you so much!"


She then looked back down at her little sweet Johnny. She once again quickly looked back at the heavens and screamed, "Hey...Where's his new cap!?"


Life is full of people who are not satisfied and not thankful for what they have. Many times people are constantly dwelling on what they have lost, rather than being satisfied and thankful for what they still have left.
 
Again, "Be thankful for what you have, and set your goals for higher things." The world is full of many horrible things, as well as many wonderful things. Sometimes a person is constantly looking at the "horrible" things. However, my hopes are that they will be able to find the beauty in life. It's there - if you look for it!
