Making Peace with My Today Will Improve My Future…
Posted by: | Comments
It may sound odd, but the fastest way to get to a new-and-improved situation is to make peace with your current situation. By making lists of the most positive aspects you can find about your current situation, you then release your resistance to the improvements that are waiting for you. But if you rail against the injustices of your current situation, you hold yourself in Vibrational alignment with what you do not want, and you cannot then move in the direction of improvement. It defies Law.
In every particle of the Universe, there is that which is wanted – and the lack of it.

These are wise words!
Maybe you can’t stand your job, your mother is driving you crazy, or your roommate is a pain in the ass, whatever is happening that is making you frustrated, stressed out and annoyed can easily be shifted by allowing yourself to focus some energy on something that you like about the person , place or thing that you are dealing with. Create some space to feel better.
If you are cranky, aggravated, stressed out….that is all you are going to see…there won’t be room for anything else to show up.
Focus on what is working and what you want more of and you will soon see that things shift a bit, open up and you can now experience the change in the dynamic that you seek.
Why Do I Want the Relationship I Want ?
Posted by: | CommentsThink about what you want in a relationship and why you want it. Look for those around you who are experiencing good relationships, and feel appreciation for them. Make lists of the positive aspects of those you have spent time with. . . . In fact, one of the fastest ways to make your way to a wonderful relationship is to find any subject that consistently feels good, and focus on that even if it has nothing to do with relationships.

I found that this really works.
When I began to recognize that my romantic relationships were not working for me, I was not sure what a healthy, satisfying relationship looked like. I had been doing my best up until then and was not getting the results I was looking for. It knew that I wanted something different in my relationships, but I was not sure what that looked like.
I began noticing the things I liked and appreciated in my friends relationships. I paid attention to how J & J were each other’s biggest fans, and how this other couple I knew left each other love notes and chocolate. I saw that J & A had “Date night” and made a point to really connect even when life was busy. I began to get clearer on exactly what I wanted in a relationship and who I wanted to be in that relationship.
I also began to practice appreciating the things I liked about my friends, male and female. This was the most powerful thing that I could have done. It brought so much joy, satisfaction, and connection into my experience!
Suddenly, I was seeing so many positive aspects of the people around me.
I will out myself here: I used to be someone who would focus on the things that she did not like or want in order to change them…rather than seeing what she did want more of. On one hand my life was always growing and expanding, but on the other hand, I was not finding meaning or satisfaction anywhere. This simple process changed everything!
You can apply this to every kind of relationship that you have:Romantic, business, friends, family, and even to a stranger on the street. The simple act of focusing on the positive aspects of something allows you to expand your expereince and find much more meaning, satisfaction and joy in everything you do.
Thought for the Day: You Ask With Your Desire
Posted by: | CommentsLaw of Attraction abounds, and when it is said to you, “Ask, and it is given,” there is no more powerful statement that is at the basis of what makes things happen than that. Now, how is it that you think you ask? With your words? The Universe doesn’t hear your words. You ask with your desire. The desire that is born out of the contrast. That desire. That wanting. That’s what summons the Life Force.

Your desire is key!
This is why it is so important to train yourself to shift your focus from what you are seeing that you do not want, to what you would rather have.
Most people get caught up in focusing their attention on what they do not like about something, or what is not working. They talk about it, and complain about it how it should be differant. This is actually doing the opposite of what they want. Complaining amplifies the energy of what you do not want because you are focusing your attetion on it.
When faced with something that you do not want, allow yourself to focus on what would be better or what you feel like the solution might be. Allow your desire for something different be the energy you are sending out to the Universe.
Your desire is powerful stuff!
Attention Everyone!! Your Life is Right Now!
Posted by: | CommentsYour life is right now! It’s not later! It’s not in that time of retirement. It’s not when the lover gets here. It’s not when you’ve moved into the new house. It’s not when you get the better job. Your life is right now. It will always be right now. You might as well decide to start enjoying your life right now, because it’s not ever going to get better than right now–until it gets better right now!

What to ‘Work’ At
Posted by: | CommentsPeople will say, “Well, I have to work on my goals,” or, “I have to work on my visualization.” And we want you to think more about holding the vision because it is pleasurable to hold the vision, not because you’re trying to make the vision work in order to get to some place that you’re not now standing. “How much should I work?” We would say, work in the sense of joyously moving forward — Abraham
Excerpted from the workshop in North Los Angeles, CA on Monday, August 13th, 2001
I find this statement to be very powerful! Most people set goals, or create a vision, and then begin the process of working towards making them happen. Then every time they think about that goal, they are focusing on what is not done yet, what is still not there, and what they need to do in order to make it happen. The energy around it becomes stressful and it all feels like work. Your attention is going to the lack of what you desire.
In my mind, the purpose of a goal and your vision of it, is to allow you to get into the energy of what you want to create in your life. By setting a goal, and focusing your attention on it, you are telling the Universe what you want. The thing is, if you are thinking about that goal and how hard you need to work to make it happen, that is exactly what you are going to experience…having to work hard.
If you add in the tendency for folks to focus on how it is not showing up…then you get more of that energy.
So, I suggest focusing on your goals as a means to remind yourself of all the juicy stuff that you are calling forth into your life. When you think of them, notice what has already showed up and apprecitate it. When you are taking action make sure you are doing it from a good feeling place, knowing that what you are doing is bringing you into alignment with what you desire. Enjoy the process. Its your life after all and it is meant to be fun and feel good to you!
