I have some questions for you this morning.
How do you see the world? Do you see the
glass as half full or half empty?
Do you complain and focus on what you don't
have instead of what you do have?
Do you take secret enjoyment in someone else's
failure or embarrassment?
Do you judge others? Do you see yourself
as a victim? (Don't worry - we have all been there at one time
or another.)
Do you use the words SHOULD
and CAN'T a lot, as in "I should
do this" and "I can't afford it."
Are you resentful of another's success or
do you celebrate it?
Do you look for the worst or the best in
people?
Do you see the world as a safe place full
of people who are happy to support you? Or do you see the world
as fearful, a place where you always have to be on guard, in
case someone might steal from you, lie to you or hurt you in
some way?
In other words, what do you believe about
the world and focus on for the majority of your day?
Remember that what you focus on expands.
You are much more powerful than your realize. Your thoughts are
light energy beams and given enough charge they can create just
about anything, good or bad. If you are thinking and speaking
the same things over and over again, then very little can improve
in your life.
For example, this morning I ran out of kleenex
in the bathroom. I looked everywhere for a new box but couldn't
see any. I thought to myself, NO
KLEENEX. I made a mental note to go to the store in the
afternoon and pick some up. Later, as I was sitting at my desk
writing this email and feeling happy and relaxed, I looked up
and there was a fresh new box of kleenex. I remember looking
on my desk earlier when I ran out, but I did not SEE
the kleenex. Why? Because I was focusing on - NO
KLEENEX, so that is what I got - NO
KLEENEX.
This is exactly how the Universe works with
everything. If you are thinking and believing - No Money, it
will give you No Money because that is what you are a match to.
And even if the money were right in front of your face you would
not be able to SEE it. But
when you relax and get into a good feeling place and allow the
Universe to do its job, then all of a sudden whatever it is you
are wanting shows up, be it money, better health or a good relationship.
This incident with the kleenex was a very
significant message for me because I have had a feeling for a
very long time now, that what I need to make all of my dreams
come true is right under my nose, but I haven't been able to
SEE it yet. How about you? Is there something in your own life
that you are not SEEING yet?
I was quite frankly very surprised to learn
that we do not actually see with our eyes but with our brain.
Two people can be looking at the exact same thing and see something
completely different. So even if nothing changes but how you
SEE the world, then how you SEE the world changes everything.
It has always amazed me that the evening
news is almost always about something extremely negative such
as murder, violence, fraud, weather catastrophes, corruption
and what surprises me even more is that people actually watch
it. Yes, these things do happen, but they are in the minority,
the very small minority. The world is filled with people doing
all kinds of wonderful things. Silent angels abound on the planet.
Unsung heroes count in the thousands, perhaps even millions.
Acts of kindness and miracles are everywhere. There is so much
good going on in the world that we never hear about and so we
begin to live our lives from this very small place and we think
that is all there is. And our path in life becomes like walking
through a graveyard on a summer's day. It feels warm and cosy,
but it's dead there.
We are continuously being given messages
from our environment all day long and either these messages are
empowering us or they are bringing us down.
And commercials are the same way. We are
bombarded in this culture with negative messages and conditioning.
We are told what we should look like, how we constantly need
to be fixed and then given a product and/or service that will
do just that. It is any wonder that we have become the walking
wounded. Even the songs we hear on the radio are for the most
part sending us negative messages of life being hard and things
never going our way. There is some great music out there but
we need to search it out. Many of us walk around oblivious to
all of this and don't even realize how much we are affected by
it at a deep subconscious level.
And it is not just in the media. For example,
what do you have hanging on your walls at home or in your office.
Pictures and photographs that make you feel good every time you
look at them or paintings that may unconsciously be giving you
a very clear message. One that you don't want.
Here is an interesting story. Mary had a
beautiful painting hanging on her wall of a lady sitting in a
lovely French outdoor cafe. The woman in the painting was alone
and looked very sad but Mary loved the painting because it was
from Paris and she longed to go there one day when she met the
person she was to spend the rest of her life with. But this never
seemed to happen. Mary seemed destined to always be sad and alone
or so she thought. Until the day Mary took down that painting
and replaced it with a picture of a very happy couple lovingly
sitting together in a french cafe, enjoying each other and life.
Every time Mary looked at this new painting her heart soared,
and guess what? Within a couple of months she met and married
the man of her dreams and they spent their honeymoon in Paris.
Now lets focus on what you are NOT SEEING!
In order to allow more prosperity and abundance
into your life, you need to have a consciousness of abundance
and prosperity. In other words, you need to SEE
abundance and prosperity everywhere. Scarcity is an illusion.
It is not the truth of who you really are and what you are capable
of. It is simply a misdirected thought, a perception, a habit
of seeing the world in a certain way, a habit you have probably
been practicing for a very long time. So in order to change your
life, you need only to shift your perception. Sounds great, you're
thinking, but HOW do I do that? The answer... PRACTICE!
It is all about PRACTICE.
How do you learn how to play the piano? One note at a
time, one day at a time and PRACTICE!
It is the very same with Wealth, Abundance and Prosperity. Practice!
You need to start noticing how abundant the Universe already
is. When you are out walking, begin to notice how lavish everything
is, the hundreds of trees, the thousands of leaves, the profusion
of wildlife and flowers, the vastness of the sky, the opulence
of nature all around you. When you go to the grocery store, wander
around the produce section and notice how plentiful it is. The
thousands of colourful and flavorful fruits and vegetables at
your disposal.
Notice... Notice... Notice...
Practice...Practice... Practice....
Sounds silly? Perhaps, but you can be serious
and poor or silly and rich. It is always your choice!
Action Plan: This is your wake up call. For
the duration of this program please become conscious of what
you are surrounding yourself with in your own private world.
Walk around your home and look at your walls and if there is
anything there that doesn't completely uplift you, then you might
want to remove or replace it with something that does. You might
want to put a picture on your wall of something that you are
wanting to create in your life so that you can see it every day
and it becomes a part of who you are. Turn off the news and radio
and instead listen to some positive motivational tapes or cd's
as you are driving or read some inspirational literature. Don't
worry - if anything happens that you really need to hear about,
you will. Stay away from gossip and don't complain about anything,
just for the during of this program. If you want to resume complaining
after the program, that is fine with me, but somehow I don't
think you will. And start NOTICING
and PRACTICING!!! Begin to see abundance
everywhere you go and in everything you do. Notice it! Comment
on it! Give thanks for it! Exaggerate it in the beginning if
you have to. This is all a game anyway and we are playing to
win this time. Have fun with all of it. Do this and just see
if your life begins to move in a new direction.
