We would like you to release the word 'achieve' or 'earn' from your vocabulary and from your understanding, altogether; and we would like you to replace those words with the word 'allow'. You're wanting to allow your Well-being, not achieve it. It's not something that you need to earn. All you have to do is decide what it is you would like to experience, and then allow it in order to achieve it. It isn't something you have to struggle for or try for. You are worthy beings. You are deserving of this Well-being. Abraham

You are perfect for your life, that's why you have it. You are loved more than you know, and you don't have to earn that love, it is unconditionally yours. You are on your journey, and it is impossible to mess up, whatever has happened was supposed to happen, everything is as it is meant to be. 

You deserve all the Universe has to give, which is everything. You don't have to do anything to ensure that the Universe is on your side and willing to help you. You only have to decide what you want and then allow it. 

Life was never meant to be a struggle, but we certainly have made it one, haven't we? We keep pounding on closed doors, trying harder, fighting the good fight and digging the hole deeper each day. It doesn't work, more struggle does not bring you peace or well-being. Just go with the flow and allow life to come to you. 

You are a worthy being, you deserve it all. You don't have to keep trying to prove that you are worthy. YOU CLEARLY ARE!

Do you often find yourself in a quandary about some problem that actually is not directly concerning you? Are you mixed up in someone else's life?

Your adult son has decided  to quit his job and join a band. You tell him that you don't feel that this is a good idea.

Someone at work said something to a fellow employee and you are outraged. You take it upon yourself to try and straighten it out. 

You think that your daughter's boyfriend is far from marriage material. You tell your daughter that she could do better.

These are 3 examples of being is someone else's business.  Once a person has reached adulthood, what they do is their business. They are on their own path, they need to make their own "mistakes". Even if they are your children, your time is up... you have done all you can, they need to be treated as adults now, not controlled, like children. Even if you think that you know what needs to be done, or what would be best for them; it is none of your business.

"If a train doesn't stop at your station, then it's not your train." 

Just think how much more enjoyable life would be without having to worry about, or control what everyone else is doing. You only have to worry about yourself and what you are doing. Your business is to make yourself happy, period. If you are happy, people will want to be around you. One way to be happier is to let go of control....control is an illusion; you never really have control over any situation or any person. Let go and live YOUR own life. 

I am certainly not saying that you shouldn't be considerate and supportive of others, but that is where it needs to end. Do not jump in the middle of someone else's life.... live your own.

We want you to know that the Universe never gives up on you. That the Universe never says 'well, never mind on her, she hasn't been letting it in, it's not likely that she'll ever let it in. The Universe continues to orchestrate perfect situations and events. Abraham-Hicks

The Universe is always working in your favour, timing everything for your benefit. The synchronicity of various events in your life must make it blatantly obvious that someone besides yourself is tending to the details. 

Keep your focus on how you want to feel and let the Universe fill in the details. 

You can't get it wrong, there are no mistakes. You are loved, just as you are, for being you.  You are the Universe expressing itself as a human for a time, and therefore, perfect. There is no reason for anyone to worry for one minute about judgment, repentance, inferiority, or deficiency, from anyone other than themselves (and that needs to stop, also).  We are all one, all equal, no one is less worthy than anyone else.

You are the voice of your soul. What do you want? What is missing from your life? Simply ask for whatever you want, and it's on its way.

"And when you want something, all the Universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." Paulo Coelho

No matter what's happening
CHOOSE Happy.

Don't focus on what's Wrong. 
Find something Positive in your
LIFE.

Joel Osteen

You can actually change your life with your thoughts. 

You are in charge and you have the ability to have a positive experience every second of every day if that is what you want. You can also have ANYTHING YOU WANT just by focusing your thoughts in that direction. Your main attainment in this lifetime is just to be happy. You are not here to work harder or smarter, you are here to have fun, to play and love and laugh. 

BE HAPPY!

"You were given life, it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight."  Elizabeth Gilbert

Once you have found something beautiful in life, focus on it, let the feeling permeate your entire being, and you'll never want to let it go.  Don't let it go, instead, let go of everything that makes you sad.

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. Unknown

HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE, NOT A RESULT.

#542

Just keep telling yourself,

I'm in charge here.

I'm in charge of my life.

I'm in charge of what comes.

I'm in charge of how I feel.

Abraham

This is your show, you are the main character, the director, and the producer. The cast and crew are simply those you have chosen to do your life with you. Everyone in your show is there to assist and/or support you in your quest. 

We each wrote our own script for this lifetime on earth, we chose all of the people that have come or will come into our lives. Each of them came to us with a purpose, to aid us on our journey and teach us a relevant lesson. So, your parents, friends, lovers, enemies and even your children are chosen by you and each will have something to teach you. It is all orchestrated for your growth, and you, in turn, are doing your part for these people and others, as well. 

Don't allow anyone else to control your life, they have their own life to control and that's enough.

We can make our life a comedy or a tragedy, it's up to each one of us. YOU ARE IN CHARGE of everything to do with your own life. Therefore, if you feel that your life is a tragedy, you have 'ordered' that by your attitude. You may need an attitude adjustment to start looking at life differently. Make it easier on yourself.

Life was never meant to be a struggle. 

#541

Stop asking others to be the change that you need in order to feel better.

That is the freedom that you are looking for.

Abraham-Hicks

It will not be the next teacher, the next lover or the new baby that will fix what ails you. Sometimes we think that the 'new' or the 'next', will be the ONE that will be the change we need to feel better. Then, everything will fall into place and we will feel good. 

We tend to look to someone else when the problems of the world overwhelm us. We want them to make us feel better, to tell us that everything will be okay, and actually just tell us what to do. This can often result in bitterness down the road  because it results in a sense of ownership for your life.

You don't need anyone to make you feel better, that comes from you. 

No one can fill you up, you need to figure out what will make you happy and then nobody's opinion will matter to you. ....this is freedom. You are in charge of your own life and it's never too late to be who you are, who you were always meant to be. 

The best way to fill yourself up is to do something for someone else. Make something good happen, you can't help but feel good about yourself.

"Be the change you want to see in the world" Mahatma Gandhi

"You alone are the judge of your worth and your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks."

Deepak Chopra

We all have 'stuff' to overcome, everyone has their own 'dragons' to slay and 'armies' to defeat. Often when engaged in our battles, we can accumulate  feelings of unworthiness,  and this, then, becomes the battle. Many of life's experiences, as well as the people you surround yourself with, can contribute to these feelings. Eventually, you may question your own worth.

Your worth never changes. Whether you are 'sitting on top of the world', or 'down in the dumps', you are always valuable. You may not feel the same, but this doesn't change the fact. 

If you have a $100.00 bill, it is worth - $100.00. If you take that same bill and crumple it up and throw it to the ground, step on it, and grind it into the dirt, it is still worth $100.00 The same is true for you, if you have been thrown down, stepped on and feel crumpled and dirty, you still have the same value. You are of infinite worth.

Your worth does not change according to what happens to you.

Don't worry about what anyone else says, that is their issue. The mere fact that you are here on earth proves that you are valuable. You have a mission and only YOU can complete it. You are important, remember that. You know who you are.

"Above all else, to thine own self be true." Shakespeare

No one can drive us crazy unless we give them the keys.

Nobody can make you mad, no one can make you anything. YOU CHOOSE to react however you react to what is coming at you. 

Everyone has said, "'they' made me so mad" but 'they' simply do not have that power. 'They' may have memorized the buttons, or installed them for that matter, and "'they' definitely know how to push them. But you chose to get mad. You are in the driver's seat, you hold the keys. 

'They' may have struck a nerve, from some past hidden hurt that you have buried, but it still is a choice. You may have gotten mad because that's what you do; you stand up for yourself, you 'don't take nothing from nobody'. but it's still a choice. The point is... it is up to you. It is your life and your reaction will determine your peace of mind.

And on the same subject: watch what you say. Do you want to be crazy? Statements like "you are driving me crazy" are telling the universe that you want/need to lose your mind. The universe will do everything to grant your wish. All the self-depreciating statements made throughout your day, are sending the wrong message. 

Consider monitoring your think and verbalizing. Saying or thinking things like 'you broke my heart, you'll be the death of me, or that really pisses me off,' even a more positive feeling such as; 'my heart is bursting with joy,' is giving the wrong message. You are practically begging some health issue to come and invade your body, you are telling your body that your heart is meant to burst or be broken. Stop it.

The moral of the story is: This is your life, you are in the driver's seat... do not give your keys to anyone else.

#538

So much of our happiness depends on how we choose to look at the world.

It is your choice how you want to look at the world, you can view it however you like. You will always see pretty much what you want to see.

It makes a huge difference to your health and peace of mind if you can find the joy in the little things. People tend to get all wrapped up in their troubles and miss so many of the small precious moments in life. No one is free from difficulties, it's how you handle these times that count. There are people that have a negative comment for everything, no matter what a great time everyone is having, they will always find a way to ruin it. Negative people have a problem for every solution. Don't let their attitude disturb your peace or cause useless stress. 

Focus on the positive. Look for the good in every situation and person. Choose your battles. Let some things slide. Be happy rather than being right.

When stress is paramount in your life: Reflect on what you appreciate, including your own positive qualities and gifts. Be grateful, it will help keep things in perspective. Avoid people, situations and subjects that stress you out. Accept what you cannot change. Get plenty of sleep and exercise. Volunteer, do something for someone else. Get out of your head. Go outside. Walk in the woods, go for a hike, a run, hug a tree, meditate, BREATHE.

Put on a happy face..... you got this!

Nothing in the Nature lives for itself.
Rivers don't drink their own water.
Trees don't eat their own fruit.
The Sun doesn't shine for itself.
A flower's fragrance is not for itself.
Living for each other is the rule of nature

"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do, we do it to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect."
Chief Seattle

We are nature, it is not something separate from us.

It is time for us to look to the earth, it's elements and it's creatures as our teachers. They show us how to live more consciously, toward each other and the earth. We need to be responsible for our personal healing so we can slow down, create deeper love connections to each other and our land. We need to get to the point where we stop seeing the earth and ourselves as broken. And to KNOW the earth and all of the humans inhabiting her are perfect. When we realize that we hold the answer within us, we start to heal ourselves, the people around us and as a result, the earth. Nature will respond to the healing, as her reactions are often a reflection of us as a species.

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." Albert Einstein

"Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and it's beauty." Albert Einstein

"You will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you lose your edge.

Apologize for mistakes. Apologize for unintentionally hurting someone - profusely. But don't apologize for being who you are."

- Danielle LaPorte

No matter how hard you try, you won't succeed in pleasing everyone, and if you expect everyone to think that you are the greatest thing in the world, you will be sorely disappointed. It is not your job to please everyone or change yourself in any way for someone's approval. You are not responsible for anyone's perception of you, and you can't control anyone's reaction. There will always be people with something negative to say, criticizing you or your actions. Remember: it is only someone's opinion, it's not necessarily the truth. Don't listen to anyone's evaluation of you, it usually has little to do with you, personally, but more about something lacking in them.

"What other people think of you is none of your business."  Paulo Coelho

If you do something that you are sorry for, apologize. If you hurt someone, apologize, but always be who you are. Don't try to change yourself so that people will like you. The right people will always come into your life, the people that can see who you are and love you for it.

“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time." John Lydgate

Dear Self.

If you keep going backwards with the same people that God has intentionally removed from your life, you will continue to stay stuck. There is no joy in being confused and unhappy. Get rid of the old bad habits and leave them where they belong.

What is meant for you will be yours, learn to let go. Dysfunction isn't love.

Sincerely, Self

Going back, repeating the process, falling for the act, following the same pattern, whatever you choose to call it, you want to reopen the old wounds one more time. It IS a choice, you know it will hurt, but the urge is ever persistent. 

It's a bad habit, a dependency, virtually an addiction. 

You are allowing this kind of relationship to continue or restart - THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING IN IT FOR YOU, some payoff. He/she is providing something that you feel is missing in you, which causes you to feel confused and unhappy. 

YOUR happiness is the most important thing in your life. You need to find somewhere safe and comfortable where you can experience some happy. Then, you need to take a hard look at why you feel you need someone that doesn't fill your life with joy. You are worth more than this kind of treatment, don't stay stuck in relationships that don't meet your needs. Dysfunction isn't love.

#534

The teachers we need most are the people we're living with now.

Our spouses, parents and children are the greatest masters we could hope for. Again and again, they will show us the truth that we don't want to see until we finally see it.

(They) will continue to press every button we have until we realize what it is that we don't want to know about ourselves, yet.

They point us to our freedom every time.

Byron Katie

Everyone you meet on your path is a teacher, you will learn something from each one. You are also here to teach others, as well as to learn your lessons.  Usually, the people that you find the hardest to deal with, will teach you the most significant lessons. You find them hard to deal with since they are the ones that push the buttons that connect to deepest, darkest parts of you. They are showing you the truth, and you will see it when you see it, not before. But they will continue to push until you realize what you don't want to know.

Therefore, even though you find them frustrating, they too, have a purpose in your life. They point you to your freedom. In the end, you will be grateful to them for all they have done for you. 

Recognize that they are here to aid you on your journey, let the frustration and anger go, and take a look at what they are saying and doing. They, too, have a message and it is for YOU.

#533

Conditions don't have to control the vibration that you're offering. 

And when you figure that out, you live in unconditional love. Now the conditions no longer are in charge, now you are. 

The conditions are just conditions. It's like going to a buffet. You don't take it personally, "Oh, there's stuff there that I don't like, they must not like me."  You don't take it personally, you just pick the things that you do want. 

That's the way we want you to feel in this world. 

Don't set yourself up, don't put yourself in situations that will make you unhappy. Learn to say NO to everything that doesn't serve you. You don't HAVE to do anything that you don't want to do. Save yourself from disappointment by not projecting expectations on people or situations. Mind your own business. Go with the flow.

You decide how you want to feel and what you want to do. Your assignment is to keep the vibration going no matter what the circumstances. Remaining happy during unfavourable conditions is a huge part of maintaining your vibration and ensuring that good things will come to you. 

What is the alternative? 

The alternative is absorbing world news, being involved in other people's business, worrying about everything and everybody and creating stress in your life. The stress will manifest to illness. None of these scenarios will keep your vibration where you want it to be. Be happy, have fun, dream big. 

"You're here for a good time, not a long time. So have a good time, the sun can't shine every day." Trooper

People often believe that because something happened, and because it is a fact or true, that it should be focused upon, and therefore kept vibrationally active. And so, many people keep many things active that do not serve them.

If we were standing in your physical shoes we would not keep something active in our vibration just because it happened. We would only keep things active that we want to repeat in our life experience.

Abraham-Hicks

I hadn't thought of this as, 'people often believe that because something happened, that it should be focused upon'. I don't feel as though people feel that it SHOULD be focused on, but it just seems to be the only thing on their mind. 

Any major event seems to take up a major portion of your thoughts. Even if you are determined not to mention it or even think about it, there doesn't appear to be is anything else you want to think or talk about. Everything that anyone says or does, brings it to the forefront, and off you go.

When something serious and important has happened in your life, and you are angry, lonely, sad, scared, etc., it is totally understandable, and it WILL be the only thing you think of or want to talk about..... at the beginning. 'You don't want to keep something active in your vibration just because it happened.' 

Everything changes with time, you may not forget what happened, but it won't be the only thing you have to think or talk about. 'Time heals all wounds', which is favourable for you and will keep you balanced at a higher vibration. "Turn your attention to the things that are working and the things that aren't working will begin working." 

'You only keep things active that you want to repeat in your life experience.'

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was greater than the risk it took to bloom"... Anais Nin

I remember seeing this quote when I was just beginning my quest and profoundly identified with it. I thought it was the most deeply brilliant comment ever. Obviously, I was very excited to be starting the inner work. 

This is exactly what was happening to me... you hold on to all the neurosis until you don't, until you finally let go. At the beginning, you tentatively let go of a minute bit of yourself, but the shift begins.... then the most amazing things happen.  You have achieved awareness, you really SEE, there are miracles all around. When you are no longer "so tight in a bud," no longer afraid; when you actually start to open, you see the world through new eyes. This is the beginning. 

Up to this point..... 

"We don't see the world as it is, we see it as we are" Anais Nin

We have only seen the world the way we were at the point of our shift. All our past attachments, issues, fears, and beliefs are running our lives, and making decisions for us. But once our eyes are opened, we have freedom and choice. This is an entirely different world we are now living in. We can see clearly now. Everything makes sense. 

Of course, this is not spontaneous, but gradually. as we continue to do the work, it becomes clearer. Everything will show up, as you need it. When you are ready, the teacher will come. You are on the path and can finally see where you are going. You can see that the lessons and how the pertain to you, you have a greater understanding. The lessons will continue, we are here to learn, but, each lesson learned is a beacon on the path ahead.  

You are ready to "bloom."

Make a decision of what you want,
Give your attention there,
Find the feeling place of it -
And you're there instantly.

There is no reason for you to suffer
and struggle your way to or through
ANYTHING.
Abraham-Hicks

Life was never meant to be a struggle. You really don't have to make that particular choice. You could decide, instead, to be happy. Your entire life is made up of your choices. You have chosen everything that has taken place so far, either deliberately or by your thoughts .

"Your choices of action may be limited, but your choices of thought are not." 

Abraham-Hicks

There is no reason for you to struggle, that, too is a choice. The only reason you would choose to suffer is that you feel you don't deserve to have the very best. Therefore,your self-esteem needs some work, because you deserve everything the Universe has to offer. Don't ever feel that you can't have something, of course, you can.

Turn your attention away from what you don't want and focus solely on what you do want. 'Your life will be as good as you allow it to be.' Once you have decided what you want, and requested it, all that is left for you to do is allow it, just let it in.

"All of your power is in your choice of thought" Abraham-Hicks

Be Grateful....

This topic can be profoundly interesting, depending on how you look at it and how you feel about it. 

Why were you delayed on the way to the meeting? Why were you stuck for hours in a traffic jam? Why did you miss your plane? You may feel that this is just life and stuff happens and you may be right. Even when the plane that you missed crashed, you may still feel that it was a coincidence. Why would you be chosen to be saved? Why not you? 

My feeling is that this is all part of the plan. There is a reason for everything. We may not know what that reason is....but there is a reason.There were several stories after 9/11, about the person that was late for work, at the twin towers; and therefore survived. There are testimonials of other catastrophes where someone made it through the unimaginable. Were they just the lucky ones? Do you really think it's that simple? 

There is a complex plan at work. You have a purpose, and if you are not in the line of fire, then you are not supposed to be. If you are in the line of fire and you survive, you were meant to. You are still needed here, you still have something to do, you may be the hero of the story, or you may be the one to relay it. It is a lesson for someone, the story of what happened to you. It will make people think, and question their beliefs, and it might just encourage someone to be more loving to their fellow man.

We don't know everything, why things happen as they do. We don't necessarily know why some die, some starve, some have illnesses or abuse. BUT we do know, somewhere deep inside, that we, for the main part, are extremely blessed.  

"To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven" Ecclesiastes 3

#529

Illness is caused by giving thought to unwanted topics, feeling negative emotion but ignoring it, and continuing to focus upon the unwanted such that the negative emotion is becoming greater--but still ignoring it and maintaining attention upon the unwanted ..... until, by the Law of Attraction, still more negative thoughts and experiences are attracted.

However, the illness is only an indication of your vibration; and whenever you change your vibration, the indicator will change to match the new vibration. Illness is nothing more than a physical indicator of Energy out of balance.  Abraham-Hicks

Wow! that's a relief, isn't it? Now you know it's something that you can do something about, not just the 'luck of the draw.' 'Illness is nothing more than a physical indicator of Energy out of balance.' 

The message remains the same ... when you insist on holding on to resentments from the past, not letting go of the hurt and anger, allowing negative memories and current rejections to play around in your head, and then, filling up on depressing world news every evening, you are setting the stage for illness. 

The thing is, the negativity you cling to is only hurting you. The person(s) that wronged you is not living your life, you are. You can't change past situations, so stop accepting the pain as your due. For your health, find a way to free yourself. Don't give any more time or power to the hurt and focus instead on all the good things in your life today. Elevate your vibration.
