Gratitude --> Success

Being content and happy goes a long way. Many of us have big dreams, goals and aspirations to fulfill. We have many desires that we focus on and continually think about. That is just how we are as people and as entrepreneurs. However, you must take caution in what you think about and how you think about things. It has been said that you become and you get what you think about most… so if you always think about success, if you always think about your goals and aspirations, then in some way and some day through your efforts they will manifest. As an entrepreneur you must always hold onto your vision, which should fuel your actions. This is very, very true.

However, a lot of the times when we think about our goals and desires we get discouraged, we may feel anxiety or we may feel outright negative because we haven’t achieved them yet. This feeling of negativity will negate your success. Remember that what you think dictates how you feel and how you feel dictates your actions, which dictates your results. So if you have a negative feeling about what you want but don’t have, then you may never acquire these desires. It is great to take action, but if your thoughts and your feelings are not in a positive place about what you want, then you may never achieve what you want.

So, the question then is, how do we stay positive when focusing on our desires? The answer is, don’t always focus on your desires. Focus on what you do have that makes you happy. So many of us when we think about or write our goals and desires focus on what we don’t have, and we never focus on what we do have. This leads to dangerous territory because this leads you out of the state of gratitude. Gratitude is the most important state to be in, in life. Gratitude leads to happiness, and with gratitude, you will receive positive outcomes. So for everything that you desire, you should think of something that you desire that you already have. For example, in the future I want my own family, but I also am so thankful for the friends and family I have today; I desire a great and loving relationship with my friends and with my parents, and I have this!! With gratitude you operate on a higher and more positive frequency, and that is what you attract.

We attract who and what we are, which is determined by how we think. So in order to attract what we desire, we must acknowledge and be thankful for what we already have. We must operate in a state of gratitude and happiness. Because good only comes to those who are good, and people are only good if they foster positive thoughts, feelings and actions. Now when you add love and passion for what you do, you will be unstoppable, for to be in a state of love, passion and gratitude is the ultimate human experience that brightens our existence. Try it.

Instead of fretting about what you don’t have, appreciate what you do have. Operate in a state of happiness and gratitude and see how far you get in achieving your desires!

Abraham Hicks ~ Practice the vibration of what you want - by ignoring it

Life-Changing Advice: The Key to Manifestion

I found this blog called My Law of Attraction, and on it there was a transcript of Abraham Hicks (who is an expert on the laws of attraction) speaking with a client about her vibration. This was so enlightening that I wanted to re-post and share with you all! Enjoy!

Be Determined About Your Vibration

A MUST read for anyone wanting to manifest something specific. 

GUEST: Hi. Thank you for having me. I have one question that has two parts I believe.

ABRAHAM: We have one answer that has infinite parts. […laughter…]

GUEST: Okay. Well, here it is. I heard a CD of a seminar recently of Abraham, and my understanding was that… the person wanted something really a lot or quite badly… and what was said was, “You’re determined too much,” which was not good. So, my question is: What is the difference between being determined and being focused? Because there is something that I want, and I’ve already had it, and I want it again, and I’m very determined about it. And so, am I too determined?

ABRAHAM: Well, we like the word determined actually. We like what it means. Determined and focused… we can see meaning the same thing. But sometimes when we’re visiting with someone… sort of it’s about the conversation that we began with earlier about inspiration and motivation. When you are efforting… that always means you haven’t done the vibrational work, and you’re trying to compensate for not having done the vibrational work… with effort. And it never works out very well because you’re bucking your own current.

It’s like not believing that it’s gonna happen, but willing to work really hard to try and make it happen. “I’m determined that this is gonna happen.” And when you’ve got your fists clenched, and you are efforting, that’s a really good indication that you’re wobbling, and that you’re attracting in opposition to what you want, and you’re trying to fix it through words or action.

So, that’s why we’re teaching just chill out, be general.
Be determined to feel good.
Be determined to be happy.
Be determined to be easy about it.
Be determined to do the vibrational work.
Be determined to practice the art of allowing.
Be determined to allow it to flow to you.
Be determined to know that it’s there.
Be determined to expect that it will come.
Be determined to rendezvous with things at the right time.

In other words, let your focus and your determination be about your vibration for a little while, rather than your action. And, that’s the only distinction that we ever make. We don’t think that you can be too focused, unless you’re focused upon what you don’t want. Every subject is two subjects: wanted on one end of the stick and absence of it on the other. And sometimes, you’ve really got a vibration going about the absence of it, and you think you’ve got a vibration going about the presence of it.
So, you’re just trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, and it doesn’t move because you’re in a different vibrational place than you recognize because of the effort that you are applying. If it’s not coming easily, you’re not on the path of least resistance. If it’s not coming easily, it’s not coming. If it’s not coming easily, it’s not coming. Not what you really want. A diminished piece of it might be coming, but what you really want isn’t coming unless it’s coming easily. Strong words, and we mean it.

GUEST: So, what I’m talking about, you’re saying is not in my Vortex?

ABRAHAM: No, it’s in your Vortex.

GUEST: Could I possibly… since I’ve done it before…

ABRAHAM: Even if you’ve never done it before it’s still possible.

GUEST: Okay.

ABRAHAM: Having done it before has nothing to do with something coming. Just lining up with it is all that’s necessary. There’s all kinds of things that you’ve not yet accomplished that are coming.

GUEST: Okay, well… could I possibly be, um, since I had this always before I moved to this certain city where I live now, is it possible that I am not located in the right place? And personally I don’t believe that…

ABRAHAM: No. No. But it’s possible for you to think that and block it.

GUEST: Right.

ABRAHAM: Whatever you want can come to you wherever you are. Location means nothing. Vibration goes everywhere.
…
Whatever you want it coming to you. Your beginning question was really a good question because that is the thing that gets in the way of so many people. They get fixated on something. They get determined about something. And they just try, try, try, try, try… And they don’t realize that they’re all balled up vibrationally, and so their effort doesn’t yield them anything. And that’s what makes you get discouraged. It makes you not believe in your worthiness. It’s what makes you give up on things, you see?

And so, we’re wanting to re-orient you, all of you, and make you realize that if you’re trying, and if you have been trying, it’s a really good indication that you’ve got a vibration going that you’re trying to overcome, but you’re not really overcoming it. You’ve gotta be wobble-free. So, that’s why we’re just encouraging you to start in a more general place, and let new inspiration come to you about how to behave and what to do. Let the new inspiration carry you.

Because determination is often, “I’ve got this plan, and it’s worked for me before, and this is a plan that a lot of people have used, and it has these steps, and I will do these things,” but it doesn’t take into account the vibration that you’ve got going on that is keeping any of those steps from being effective for you. So, that’s why the conversation that we had earlier about motivating yourself to the effort and to the steps and to the things that you’ve done before is not the best plan.

Just chilling out, and going more general, and feeling softer about it, and easier about it, and more general about it, and more expectant about it, and more hopeful about it. If you could reach the place – and we so want you to hear this, and we’re gonna choose these words specifically for you – if you can reach the place where you can joyfully live with the absence of what you want to manifest because the presence of the idea of it is so delicious, then the presence of it must come to you, and will quickly. But if the manifestation of it means so much that it’s agonizing in the absence of it, then you can’t get there from there.

So, that sort of freaks our physical friends out. They say, “Oh, we get it Abraham, so what you’re saying is: If I don’t want what I want, then I can get what I want.” And we say, “Well, it’s sorta kinda like that,” but it’s not ‘don’t want what you want’ because you can never stop wanting what you want. The desire is not gonna go away.

But you can find ways of allowing what you want to flow to you. And these ways are by being more general about it, by being more patient about it, by being easier about it, by not being so urgent about it, by not trying so hard, by not making it such a big hairy deal. Because, what you want isn’t what you think you want, it’s the journey to it that you really want. And you all think you want the short cut to what you want… but it isn’t BEING there, it’s GOING there. It’s the process of going there that is the whole reason that you even want what you think you want.

GUEST: Does Abraham think I am agonizing over this?

ABRAHAM: We think agonizing is too strong of a word. We think that you are efforting, and we think that you are in your own way, and we think that you are figuring out how to get out of your own way. And that it’s going to be so fun to figure out how to get out of your own way about this because, when you figure out how to get out of your own way about this, you’ll figure out how to get out of your own way about everything, and then you will be the truly unlimited being that you know that you are.

GUEST: Great. How do I get out of my own way? […laughter…] I really want to know that. I do. Because, when I think about this – I think you already know this Abraham – I think about it… I mean correct me if you think I’m wrong… I am… My cells divide with joy. I live in this in my head all the time. I love it.

ABRAHAM: Well, maintain that vibration and it must be. When you feel like that, you’re on the right track. Feeling like that…

GUEST: Am I on the right track?

ABRAHAM: Well, sometimes you’re there and sometimes you’re not. And when you are there, you’re on the right track, and when you’re not, you’re not.

GUEST: Okay, so… if I’m having weeks or a day or an hour where I’m… not feeling so great about something, does that throw the other thing out as well?

ABRAHAM: It doesn’t throw it out, but here’s the thing… You’re practicing your frequencies, so the more airtime you give to things that feel good, the better off you are. So now, here’s a piece. You’re really gonna like this. All of you are really gonna like this. You are better off in terms of getting to where you want to be if you are general and feeling good, than if you are specific and feeling bad. You are better off getting to where you want to be if you are feeling good and specific, than if you are feeling good and general. You’ve gotta figure out if you’re feeling good or you’re feeling bad before you let momentum build. And that’s the key to real deliberate creating.
Because a lot you feel like, “Well, if I just try harder, if I just turn up the juice, if I just make it go stronger… that’s the path.” And we say, “It might be and it might not be, but make sure that you’re in the vibration that you want to be in before you get more specific.” You see? You do see! Thar was very clear. So, now we’re gonna say that again. You’re better off in terms of getting to where you want to be by feeling good, than by feeling bad. That’s easy to understand. You’re better off in getting to where you want to be by feeling good and general, than by feeling bad and being specific.

GUEST: So, when I’m general and feeling good, then this will come?

ABRAHAM: When you’re general and feeling good, and maintaining it, then you’re gonna be a little more specific and feeling good, and then you’re gonna be a little more specific and feeling good, and then you’re gonna be a little more specific and feeling good, and then you’re gonna be more specific and feeling good, and – as long as the feeling good part is still in there – then it’s gonna come. It’s already come in general terms. It’s the specific terms you want, yes? Didn’t we just now have another conversation about moving it from vibration into manifestation? General to specific is the same conversation of moving it from vibration into demonstrated see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, touch it. First time. Good discussion.

GUEST: Do you see me being able to do this easily? Do you evaluate me? I want to do this. So I want to know.

ABRAHAM: We don’t evaluate you. We know it is done, and we are eager for you to know it.

GUEST: Okay.

ABRAHAM: Not because we want you to get it – but you will – but because, when you know it, then you’re in alignment with Who-You-Really-Are. Yeah. Yeah. Really good.

GUEST: Okay, thank you.

"Risk Being Seen In All of Your Glory"

 

This was such an amazing and empowering speech! 

Don’t choose your pathway out of fear! Choose your pathway out of faith, belief and love! As Jim Carrey states, “Risk being seen in all of your glory,” do not sell yourself short or try to dim your dreams or ambitions from the world. Napolean Hill author of Think and Grow Rich said it best, “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve.” So dare to dream big because you are powerful. You are the creator of your life and well-being; it is all in your mindset. Remember that where the focus goes energy flows, and that all of the empires of the world were first created in the minds of men. If you have a vision and steadfastly focus on that vision, and thus act with enduring vigor and passion, you can achieve anything you want in this lifetime. The resources you need to succeed are already in existence, you just have to recognize them and find a way to utilize them. It is the lack of knowledge and awareness that compels man to believe that it is not possible that he can achieve greatness. It is always possible!
