Why Your Worst Deeds Don’t Define Your Life

by

I thought this was a very profound TED talk. It made me think about how people can change and how we really should be willing to give people (whether in jail or not) more than one chance to redeem themselves. After all, who died and made us God that we can judge someone forever and not think that they might change.

Wouldn’t you want someone to give you a second chance in life if you did something “wrong” but then realized it. We all have been young and done stupid things – some more stupid than others. But as we grow, we change and we become more mature (eventually anyway). Do you think we should be evaluated just based on the stupid thing we did years ago? Of course not. That’s what life is all about…change.

This man talks about acknowledgment, apologizing and atonement. I think he’s more mature than most of us and has endured more than we will in our entire life.  We can be better people by learning from the tough times others experience.

If you like this, there is another profound video on the TED talks about women Lifers and it almost made me cry at the misfortune some of them have endured for over 30 or in some cases 40 years – being in prison for that long is just unimaginable to me.

Let us learn from others.

The Easiset Way To Change Others Is To Change Yourself

by

stick_figure_telepathy_caps_400_clr_5816You really can’t change someone else. So don’t even try. However, if you change your attitude and outlook, often times it will effect a change in the other person.

If you’re unhappy with a relationship (friend, spouse, significant other, boss, fellow employee, sibling, etc), don’t think that it’s the other person’s fault you’re unhappy. You can make the most of a situation from an internal perspective no matter what’s going on externally. Remember how the POWs in World War II survived in their tiny crowded rooms – they did it with their mental attitude and thoughts. They were able to project themselves away from their present and into the future, or at least into a more pleasant part of their memory.

You can do the same as the POWs – many of you may feel as if you’re a prisoner of war in that relationship so this isn’t that far off.

Instead of focusing on the things you don’t like about the relationship or characteristics of the other person, focus on yourself and your contributions to the relationship. You can also do the “Book of Positive Aspects” where every day you write down at least 3 really good things about the other person. Don’t even go to the negative aspects at all. It make take you awhile to come up with some things but do the simple little things so that you have something good to write. The point of this is to focus on good things about the other person if you have to go there at all. If you can just think about your own happiness (and you can’t say you WOULD be happy if….. if they would change or if you were out of the relationship or if this or if that….”if”s are NOT allowed in this game.

Focus on where you can change or even better focus on what the Universe may be telling you. You attracted this relationship remember. I know you don’t want to believe that but you did. So take a look at it and see what is going on in your head and your emotions that is attracting these things you don’t like or want. Look at your beliefs and see if you can track it down that way. For example, do you believe that all men (or women) cheat on their partner? Was that your experience in your family of origin perhaps? If so, that would follow that you’d developed that belief. Maybe you believe that you don’t deserve to be happy. If so, you’d naturally attract situations  where you wouldn’t be happy. Maybe you think that work should be hard and you should be unhappy at work (struggle). So, you’d attract a boss who would make you work hard or you’d attract situations where you don’t have enough staff or you have incompetent staff and you have to work hard to make up for that. Maybe you believe you’re not good enough for a loving relationship or you don’t deserve to be loved or aren’t worthy of love. What do you think is going to be in your life if that’s your belief? Yep, you got it….the exact circumstances you’re trying to avoid.

Uncover your beliefs, do the Book of Positive Aspects and then see what happens in your life. Many times, your relationship changes for the good. Don’t count on that though or that will defeat the purpose of this exercise. The purpose really is to help yourself feel better in your circumstances no matter what does or doesn’t happen externally.

Think about it; try it.

Momentum Monday

by

momentum-monday1“Make peace with outrageous abundance. You are more likely to have a pure vibration and attract more abundance if you leave money out of the equation. But it isn’t because money is the “root of all evil.” It’s because it messes up your vibration, usually.” ~Abraham [Excerpted from the workshop: San Francisco, CA on February 27, 2005]

This is a great follow-on to last week’s Momentum Monday. People often criticize us for talking so much about prosperity and abundance. That always tells me something about the complainer, though. If they have a narrow view and see the words prosperity and abundance as meaning only money, then their thoughts in life are narrow and they could benefit from expanding their view and concept of these words. Both prosperity and abundance apply to every aspect of your life – health, peace of mind, friendship, love, happiness, spirituality, wealth (not just monetary) and any other aspect of your life.

The best way to embrace these concepts is by considering it all as abundance (and as Abraham says, make it “outrageous” abundance). Go into a quiet place and listen to your body when you say or think the words “outrageous abundance”. If there seems to be something negative, try the word “abundance” by itself and see if it’s that or the “outrageous” part. Practice visualizing abundance in your life in the easiest way you can imagine – it might be love or friends or it might be health or anything else. Find whatever will give you the best vibration. Work on that feeling and try to then move it over to another aspect of your life. Take your time and go slowly. Try to see if you can remember things you were taught when you were a child regarding these aspects – see if you can identify any limiting beliefs. Once you’re aware of them, then see if you think they are still valid or just have stayed in there because you haven’t paid attention to them previously. Taking everything slowly is the key to seeing what each of these beliefs means in your life.

You really do deserve abundance and can have it!

It’s Not “All In Your Head” – It’s Really “All In Your Heart”

by

its-not-in-your-head-but-in-your-heartWhen someone tells you it’s all in your head, you can now correctly tell them that if it is, it’s not powerful at all.

What matters as far as influencing your life is concerned is what’s in your heart. It’s all about the feelings (and vibrations) you have. These feelings are what brings things into your life – both desired and not so desirable things. The Law of Attraction is not thought based alone. Of course, there are thoughts involved but it’s the feelings those thoughts generate that bring more of the same into your life.

For example, just to think “I have to pay my bills” does not necessarily create strong emotions. It could possibly be just an internal/mental “to do” list and then you move on to some other thought.

But, if you follow the “I have to pay my bills” with “nuts, I don’t have enough money in my account so I don’t know which ones I’m going to be able to pay this month. What am I going to do? I’m so worried.” This is an entirely different story. This type of thought definitely generates an emotional (and stressful) response. And one that focuses on lack at that. So you have a very strong vibration surrounding lack mentality. Guess what that will bring into your life – more lack!

See if you can change the above follow-on thought to “I have to pay my bills and I am really happy to be able to have enough money to help others pay their bills since there are people just like me that work for the companies I’m paying and I know they have families to support. It feels so great to be able to help them!” This is such a positive thought (and requires absolutely no more effort and no more money outlay on your part) that it will bring you positive results – others will be returning to you what they owe you and you’ll receive even greater benefits from the Universe. And it’s so easy to have thoughts like that. Just writing it made my vibrational level raise significantly. It felt like fun and made me very happy to have that thought of helping others just by doing something I have to do anyway.

This falls into the category of creating a “Better Feeling Thought”.

See what you can do this week when you start to have a thought that in the past you’ve perhaps followed a negative lead. See if you can turn that thought and its resultant feeling around to the positive!

Let us know what happens. Write in the comments section below.

Momentum Monday

by

momentum-monday1“If you knew everything was really all right, and that it always has a happy ending, then you would not feel trepidatious about your future. Everything is really so very all right! If you could believe and trust that, then, immediately everything would automatically and instantly become all right.”

—Abraham – Excerpted from the workshop: Silver Springs, MD on April 11, 1999

This is probably my favorite passage from Abraham! Because it’s so true and has proven itself over and over again in my life.

Try for just the coming week (the first week of the new year after you end 2014) and say this over and over again every day “Everything is really so very all right!” and “Everything always works out for me.”

The more you think and repeat this, the more likely the Universe will bring it into your existence. I know, I’ve been there, done that and absolutely LOVE the t-shirt.

You will begin to believe this as you see the results of your saying it over and over again. Everything really does turn out the way it’s supposed to and it will be all right. Just focus on that, not on the “what if” bad parts.

Try it and let me know how it works for you. Have a wonderful New Year’s eve.
