Attractive Attraction

I truly believe unless we are doing what brings us joy, we need to think twice about what we’re doing, why we’re doing it and even take it a step further by finding the courage to do something about it so the joy is there.

For the past couple of months I’ve been going through a bit of a metamorphosis personally and in my business. Because of this, I’ve eliminated everything that no longer felt right for me with the business and replaced it with all that is in alignment with my heart and Soul.

The more I delve into my spiritual growth, the more I understand that less really is more. I’ve come to understand at a profound level that there is nothing we have to add to ourselves in order for us to be more spiritual.
In fact, as you allow yourself to release anything and everything that isn’t working in your life, the freer you become and the lighter you feel, enabling you to soar to heights you might never have imagined before.

You see, the less encumbered you are with stuff, unnecessary responsibilities, and people in your life who constantly drain you, the more you give yourself the opportunity to know who you really are at your Soul level. This in turn clears the space for you to attract into your life exactly what it is you desire.

It’s the in between moments of your life, those blank spaces, that you will find your peace and true Self during each part of your life’s journey. These blank spaces represent the simplicity of life, and the more you create these spaces, the more you will find yourself awakening the Genie within and living a life true to your heart. The benefit of this is two-fold. You have more peace and clarity in your life, and, you bring greater joy to everyone you come in contact with.

When I decided to do an overhaul of my website and coaching practice, I knew it was necessary to let go of the direction the business was heading. There were certain expectations and suggestions from others, in regard to my business, that left me feeling disconnected from my vision. Change and letting go isn’t always easy, but it’s necessary if you intend to grow and prosper in every area of your life, and more importantly, if you want to stay true to your Self.

For me, the change I needed to create involved going back to the basics. And when you go back to the basics, you will often find yourself returning to a state of calm, feeling connected to Spirit and your Soul, once again. It is this connection that makes everything in your life right.

Dr. Wayne Dyer gives a beautiful and simple definition of the word spiritual in his book, There’s A Spiritual Solution To Every Problem. He states:

“Then these are the 7 ways I define spiritual: Surrender, Love, Infinite, Empty (Empty Mind), Generous, Connectedness and Cheerful.” He goes on to elaborate on each of these words in the book.

Here are 7 ways I define Soul in a similar fashion: Love, Wisdom, Truth, Harmony, Genuine, Joyful and Peaceful. Perhaps in another newsletter, I’ll elaborate on these words as well.

Wherever you are on your journey’s path, I ask that you observe it from a bird’s eye view so you can see it more clearly and determine if it’s one that still feels right for you.

Are you connected or disconnected? Are you moving along with a skip in your step or dragging your feet? Are you in a place of surrender or struggle? Are you being genuine or wearing a mask? Are you full of love or frustration? Are you listening to your voice or someone else’s?

Be honest with yourself as you answer these questions, because you are the one who must live with the consequences of your response everyday. You may have to dig deep to discover your truth, but I promise you, it’s there. Do yourself a huge favor and take whatever inspired actions you need to, so you too, can experience the definitions of spiritual and Soul. And please know that I am always here, should you need any assistance in doing this.

Throughout history it has been said repeatedly that the simple truths are the most profound. It is also said the truth is often overlooked because
of its simplicity. When I was in my twenties, I was very philosophical and used to spend my free hours speaking with friends and coworkers about
the truths I realized in myself and the world around me. I would get amused because often I would get a reply like “That’s obvious”, or “Everyone knows that.”

Oddly enough, I was talking
about things that would make the world such a
better place to live in. The truth is paradise is
right here and now and it is only up to us to
realize it. What I discovered through extensive
research is that the more simplified you make
things the easier they are to achieve. Doing this
starts in the mind.

Let’s suppose you want to find a suitable partner.
Meditate on what qualities that partner would
have. Explore in your mind what emotional,
intellectual, spiritual and physical traits that
person would have. The universe will make things
happen according to a law I call the Conservation
of Energy. What this means is that when the
universe creates something it typically uses the
path of least resistance. If you are clear about
what your desire is and allow it to simply become,
it will. Don’t try to force it to come about in a
particular way. The easiest thing in the world for
you to change is yourself. You have more control
over yourself than anything else in this world.

Let’s get back to the “ideal” partner for you. If
you take the meditation I gave you and rather than
use it to search for a partner, try to become all
of the things you desire in that partner, then you
will automatically draw that person to you.

If you look at the apex of a pyramid, you find
that it is the smallest part. It is that part that
focuses the most strength of the structure. If you
take a magnifying glass and allow sunlight to flow
through it, it will focus a tiny beam of
concentrated light on to the object you hold it
over and thus create a fire. To make things happen
in your life, find that tiny core of the principle
you want to happen and hold it close to your
thoughts. By allowing it to stay simple, focused
and small, it will manifest very quickly.

Take this lesson and apply it to every thing you
want to achieve in life. Watch how it unfolds the
realization of your dreams.

Until Next Week! Have a Happy Life!

I’m willing to go out on a limb here and say that there isn’t a person on the planet that doesn’t have a desire of some kind. I’ll even go out on another limb and state that every person on the planet has more than one desire at a time. Whether it’s wanting more money, a new home, a relationship, more sleep, more love in the world or even a desire to laugh more in life, it’s all about wanting something we don’t have at the moment we are wanting it. Depending on any one person’s circumstance, each desire can feel just as unattainable and create a feeling of frustration and/or hopelessness.

Here’s the truth about desires; we will always have unfulfilled desires and it’s because of that, you will continue to grow and expand in your life. Whenever you reach one place or fulfill one desire, you will then automatically find yourself moving to the next place with the next desire. There is nothing wrong with this. This is human nature and to find yourself in a place of having desires and having them fulfilled is exhilarating. It can almost become a game and there are a few rules, that when followed accordingly, can create the feeling of winning even before your desire has manifested.

Rule #1: When you’re in a place with unfulfilled desires remember to not feel a sense of fear, anxiety, frustration or even impatience. Did I just hear a, “Yeah, right,” with a tone of sarcasm in there? That’s fine. I know how you feel. I’ve been there myself only to realize once I started playing by the Universe’s rules and not my own, everything changed for me. You see it’s those exact emotions that keep your desires from being fulfilled because you’re not in a receiving place. It’s not your job to figure out all the ways to get your desires fulfilled. It is your job to be very clear in asking for what you want and to trust with all your heart everything will come to you at the perfect time. When you get the urge to take an action toward fulfilling your desire that feels wonderful to you, then do so. But only if it feels right. Do not push action on yourself just because you think you should be doing something. That will only bring you more frustration and you won’t have any fun in the process.

Rule #2: Focus on what is working in your life and feeling more of your true essence more often. Ask yourself anytime you’re full of doubt and fear, “What is working?” Allow yourself to live on the outside, what really exists on the inside of your soul with your values, integrity and needs. Match your inside to your outside world so they become one and the same. Focus on what’s true for you without the concern of what others may think. When you do these things you are becoming a vibrational match to everything that is rightfully yours just waiting to show up in your life which can ultimately feel like a miracle, fulfilling your desires in ways greater than you ever imagined possible.

Rule #3: Be aware of your thoughts. When you watch what pops up in your mind throughout the day about your desires you will begin to notice if you’ve got more negative chatter going on or more positive chatter. Or as I call it, your Gremlin or your Genie. Once there is an awareness of your thoughts your world can begin to change. In a heartbeat, you can change your thought and create it to be anything that makes you feel good. You can even take yourself on a mini vacation. Use your imagination to create a scene that you’re in where you feel a sense of joy, fun, peace or calmness. Whatever you need at the time. Go there alone, so you don’t have to pay attention to how anyone else is feeling or respond to what he or she may say. This is strictly for you and your well-being. You only need to go there for a very short time, just create change in your thought pattern and raise your vibration enough so you become aligned with what you’re desiring by feeling good. When you feel a shift leave the scene and go about your day. You can do this many times throughout the day to create the shift you’re wanting. I promise you, the more you do this, the less your Gremlin will show up, the better you’ll feel and the quicker your desires get fulfilled.

Rule # 4: Although this rule is simple it tends to be the hardest to grasp at a cellular, all knowing level. Trust. Trust that all your desires have been heard and are in the process of being fulfilled. When your thoughts, feelings, words and actions are in alignment, your unfulfilled desires will be fulfilled faster than you can create a new desire.

Rule #5: This rule may be the most important rule of all. Live in gratitude for all that you have in life. No matter what is going on there is always something to be grateful for and the Universe responds so graciously to gratitude when it is authentic and heartfelt. I’m going to suggest that you create a gratitude journal and write in it everyday. It only takes a couple of minutes to come up with a few things to be grateful for each day and when you do this you’ll open yourself up to receiving more and more things to thank the Universe for.

So embrace your unfulfilled desires and be willing, for the next 30 days, to play by these five rules and see what shows up differently for you. You may find certain desires getting fulfilled or maybe you’ll feel lighter about life in general. Either way, if you don’t give it a whirl you’ll never know what could have been.
