Good day and I hope you are having a great week. This blog
started 5 years ago, with me putting
down my frustrations, and consciously trying to change my vibrations from
negative to positive. I’ve continued to
do that over the years in the hopes that the challenges that I have had, are common to many people, and the lessons I
am learning from different teachers and The Law of Attraction (LOA), that have
made a positive impact in my life and have helped me, will help my readers and
others. To that point, I wanted to
discuss a particular quirk that I have personally, again in the hopes that it
will help those of you that may have the same personality as I do, or who make
the same challenging choices as I have at times. I am very analytical. I like
to have things very organized, and plan things for events. I don’t like to be
surprised when it comes to important matters.
As part of this kind of habit and attitude I find myself exploring the”
what ifs” of what can go wrong? Even
after studying the Law of Attraction and practicing it in my life for over 5 years,
I tend to justify, that I am looking out for my best interest by planning for
the worst and hoping for best. Those who
know me well, have heard me quote the warrior saying “the more you sweat in
practice, the less you bleed in battle” many times.
All of that is great,
and have a place in our finance, business, and personal life. The thing to
remember however is, when we are going through preparing for the worst, what
kind of feelings are we sending out.
Remember the Law of Attraction (LOA) is not just our thoughts. It is
powered and amplified by the emotions that we put behind those thoughts. Let me
give you a small example to clarify this.
Let’s say I am planning a trip from San Diego to Long Beach. A small 100 miles trip. Not a big deal if you
have taken this trip routinely. Let’s
say it is my first time, and I am over
analyzing the situation and I want to plan for what if I get a flat tire?
Simple right? Now if my thoughts and emotions are “oh my God what if I
get a flat tire? I’m going to have to
pull from the fast lane to the other side of the 5 lane freeway. I drive a van.
Where is the spare located. Is there a screw on the inside? Do I have to crawl
underneath the van? Oh my God, is my AAA card active and do I need to call
them?” All of these thoughts are coming from a feeling of desperation, fear,
negativity. You may or may not be able
to get the perspective from these written words here, but if you heard me speak
them you would definitely hear the pain.
Now the same thing could be handled from a more powerful and in control
vibration. I am taking that same trip
from San Diego to Long Beach. I want to
be prepared if there is a flat tire. I
know that the road is a wonderful freeway, with the bulk of the trip on a 5 lanes paved and modern interstate. On either
side of the freeway there are wide emergency lanes very conveniently located to
pull to the side. I know my van is very new, so the chances of my tire having a
flat are very slim. I know there is an
instruction manual in the glove compartment, so even if I don’t know how to
reach the spare, it will take me no more than 5-10 minutes to find the
instructions in the manual (remember I am analytical) which is very well
written. Do you see the confidence and
more positive feeling behind the second way of dealing with issues versus the
first method?
I hope this becomes evident, because many of us specially as
parents, husbands, significant others, and those who have to look out for not just
ourselves, but also family and friends
tend to imagine the worst. We tend to
get worked up over things that in most cases will never happen. We need to reach for our emotions and let
that be a cue to us. When we start to
feel nervous, and negative about topics,
we need to change that. Because negativity will only bring about opportunities
for us to feel more negative. We don’t
want those incidences of “what if”, to suddenly become our reality.
I hope this makes sense and helps. Please comment on my
Facebook page and
twitter feed about anything
that is unclear and I will reply to you. As always, until next week, to
your success.
Remember when The Secret came out, and everyone was
studying The Law of Attraction, and we were introduced to it, one of the
examples was that you can’t be thinking of negativity, or words of
negations. You can’t say “I don’t want
bills”, because what you are doing is concentrating on bills. You cannot say “I
don’t want hardship”, because you are concentrating on hardship. Another words, you are PREPARING FOR bills,
and hardships. Here is the rub, if you
say “I want a million dollars” and yet you are sitting on your butt, you are
PREPARING for more opportunities to sit on your butt. The million dollars, is not usually the
result you want. People desire money for
reasons that are far beyond the paper money.
They want to do something with the money. They want freedom, want to go
on a vacation, want to buy a Porsche, want to build a house of their dreams. Do you see that you are not really preparing to go and buy the
house of your dreams if you are sitting on the couch. You are not preparing to buy the Porsche if you
are sitting on the couch. You are not
preparing to fall in love if you are sitting on the couch. That is why you have to take action towards
it.
