Well Being is like a cork under the water. In order for your well being to flow to you, you don’t have to do very much. Imagine you are holding a cork (like a wine bottle top) and you are standing in the middle of a swimming pool just 4 feet deep. If you hold on to the cork and pull it under, it stays under the water. If you let it go for any reason, it bobs right to the top with no effort from you! The only way to keep you away from your well being is to hold your own “cork” under the water of your emotions. It actually requires effort to cut off the flow of Source Energy to your consciousness. That is why whenever you sleep or meditate, you feel so much better. You stop the resistance. You let go. Your cork floats. It’s nice to know they you don’t need to do anything except let go and allow your well being to flow to you. And when you do this, Law of Attraction will help you flow even more toward what you want. So just let go, take a deep breath, and see if you can feel your cork float today. Be.Love, Hannya-GP

When you ask for something through your vibrational output (and this happens automatically and continuously), the Law of Attraction lines you up with it. Your life is a constant reflection of what you have been thinking and vibrating in the past. Luckily, when you think something and feel a certain way, it doesn’t manifest instantly. Imagine if what you thought became “real” as you thought it. If you felt disconnected and powerless, you would immediately crash your car, or become deadly sick. But our thoughts take time to manifest, and it takes a certain amount of momentum to create a manifestation. What you experience in any given moment is more of a vibrational average of what you have been offering over time. This is why when you think a connected thought, you don’t see instant well being…and when you think a disconnected thought, you don’t get instant contrast. This is a great thing, trust me.
Now, this leads us to the fact that you will always be moving between connection and disconnection, feeling good and feeling not-so-good. It’s part of being human on Planet Earth. Disconnection (or contrast) helps you clarify what you want by identifying what you don’t want. In every disconnected moment you literally create something new in your vibration. Once it is created, you have the opportunity to attract it to you and allow it to manifest. Until you create it (through contrast) it literally does not exist for you. So your job is to move through your day, notice how you feel, and do your best to feel the best you can.
But when you find yourself in a bad-feeling, disconnected moment of great contrast…take a deep breath and affirm that “I just expanded my asking, and I am ready to move back into feeling better. I am an amazing creator!” You will never feel good all the time. It’s alright to expand and create through feeling disconnected occasionally. Just remember that you can’t allow your new creation while you are creating it. You job, once you feel better, is to receive your new expansion through feeling good. Start today by simply noticing when you are creating, and when you are allowing. If you feel not-so-good, you are creating. If you feel good, you are allowing. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

A few days ago, I was conversing with a friend after church about what his plans were for the rest of the day. The conversation went something like this:
Me: “So, what do you have planned for the rest of the day?”
Friend: “Oh, I’m going to go and watch my granddaughter’s soft ball team play.”
Me: “That sounds like fun! How old are they?”
Friend: “They’re between seven and nine years of age.”
Me: “Are they a good team?”
Friend: “Not really. They are at the bottom of their league!”
Me: “Ouch! That must not be good for morale.”
Friend: “Actually, they don’t care. They aren’t there to win any big awards, or be the best in the league. They are there to have a good time and enjoy each other’s company. Winning or losing doesn’t even cross their minds!”
I had an immediate thought at this point. Why can’t life be this way? Why can’t we NOT worry about having everything “work out” and just have fun with each other, and let the Universe take care of us? So I decided to give it a try. Instead of worrying about my relationships, and where they were going, I let go of that and just had fun with them. In place of working to get approval from my colleagues, I accepted that they already approved of me, and made our work together a thing of play. I relaxed, and trusted that Law of Attraction was lining me up with the vibration of what I wanted. Guess what happened? All of my relationships have taken a positive step forward. In fact, one of my friends remarked to me about the positive “change” he has seen in me this week. The work that my colleagues and I were doing seemed to just fly by as if guided by an invisible genie. Seemingly impossible situations magically worked themselves out all by themselves, without my having to invest any energy at all. I didn’t worry at all about how good I was, how effective I was, or even if I was getting these Law of Attraction principles down correctly or not. I simply realized that it is a wonderfully automatic system that works to perfection every time. We need not worry about being finished with the process, because WE are a never-finished process. We are eternal beings. There is always something wonderful and new to learn, and we can learn everything in our own perfect time. We don’t ever have to worry about winning, because we have already won. We already have the prize. All we need to do is to enjoy our process…enjoy all of it…the people, places and things in our lives, and just have fun. Enjoy the prize! -Lee

For all of our Gratitude Planet community located outside of the United States who might not know it, today is Thanksgiving Day in the US. It’s a day to reflect on all the gifts we have, and all the people that we appreciate. People are generally off work and are gathering with friends and family for a meal, and for a reconnection with loved ones. It’s the perfect day to whip up some Gratitude and Thanks, and now is is the perfect moment to let the horses run on a rampage of appreciation and gratitude. Start with Thanks. Wherever you are right now, take two minutes and mentally list everything you can think of that you are thankful for. Your inner monologue may be something like “Thank you for the weather today, thank you for the air I am breathing, thank you for the clothes I am wearing, thank you for the eyes I use to see, thank you for my mind that helps me think, thank you for the …..” You get to decide what feels best to you. Next take two minutes to be Grateful. It might go something like this: “I am grateful for my job (or job prospects), and I am grateful for my amazing living space that feels so good to be in, and I am grateful for my interactions with others, both in person and in cyberspace, and I am grateful for my coffee maker that creates a perfect morning drink for me, and I am grateful for…” Again, the words you choose are the right ones for you. Next move to Appreciation. Appreciation feels a little more connected than Gratitude, which is why you should move through Thanks, to Gratitude, and then to Appreciation. So now, take two minutes and mentally list everything you appreciate. Don’t worry if you repeat some things that you have already said. Your inner monologue may be something like “I appreciate my spouse who loves me so much, and I appreciate my body and all its health and wisdom, and I appreciate my dog who always seems connected and free, and I appreciate Source Energy and its consistent flow of well-being into my experience, and I appreciate…”
If you do these three simple exercises, you will feel a shift in your vibration. You will feel an expansion in the way you feel. You will be able to move into love and bliss. You will have done the inner work required to change your world for the better. You will be able to carry this vibration into your whole day. Happy Thanksgiving! Chris-GP

When you feel good, good things are coming to you through the Law of Attraction. But you don’t need to feel bliss all the time. The vibrational scale has vibrations below bliss that also are allowing your desires to flow to you. Hopeful, optimistic, expecting, and believing are vibrations that are just below happy, passionate, loving, appreciative, and blissful. If you can’t get to bliss, then shoot for hopeful. If by thinking hopeful thoughts you can get to optimistic, then live in that vibration for a while. Keep adding optimistic thoughts, but be sure they feel like optimism. If you fall back into hopeful (or content, bored or pessimistic) it’s OK! Just turn it around and reach for the best thought you can. As long as you notice how you feel, and as long as you reach for feeling as good as you can, you will move up the vibrational scale easily. Once you are in the vibration of belief, love and bliss are on your doorstep. Try this out today, and let us know what you experienced. Be.Love, Hannya

The Law of Attraction is a very consistent law of the Universe. Simply stated, we get more of what we think about. But mastering the Law of Attraction is not as simple as thinking certain thoughts and ignoring other thoughts. The reason why is that the Universe responds to your vibration, and not to your words. So when you attempt to think certain words, without paying attention to how you feel when you think the words, you may be attracting something different than what you think you are attracting. It’s always about the vibration you are sending out…which is why it makes good sense to expand your skills of knowing how you feel. This explains, to a large degree, why people are surprised by what they attract. I will hear someone say “there is absolutely no way that I attracted this event into my experience.” They will go on to say how “positive” they have been, and all the things they do to stay connected to Source Energy. I applaud their desire for connection, and also their best efforts to make it happen. In the end, you are lined up with with more things that match the essence of your average vibrational offering. So if you have been feeling relatively powerless while trying to think positive words, the Universe only hears you say “I am powerless” and brings you more events, people, and opportunities for you to feel powerless.
Today, pay even greater attention to how you feel when you offer your words to yourself and others. Try to feel what message you are sending out to all corners of the Universe. Know that you are asking for more of how you are feeling…and make it your sincere desire to feel good as much as possible. Feeling good puts you in a place where your positive words can match your vibrational asking. Then you can get even more excited about how your life will unfold, thrill you, and expand in amazing ways that will spiral upward and upward. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

November 19, 2009
It’s easy to mislead ourselves and think that our happiness resides somewhere in our future, in a time where we have overcome our obstacles and we are “complete.” In fact, you probably know, or are related to, quite a few people who have been putting their happiness “on hold” so that they can finish up what they are working on presently. I am coming to realize that “completion” is some sort of unattainable ideal, because the nature of the Universe is one of constant expansion. If you could reach a point (and this is impossible) where you were perfect, complete, finished, and done growing, you would lose the gift of evolution to new ways of being. You would reach a place where expansion was no longer possible. You would have nothing left to draw you forward toward new ideas. You would be bored, bored, bored, BORED! You will never be done growing and expanding, and this is excellent news. Because of this fact, it makes sense to make peace with this reality by acknowledging that where you are right now is exactly where you need to be. Where you are is simply where you are…period.
The beauty of this fact (that you are as finished right now as you will ever be) is that you can enjoy the unfolding of your life…right now. The present is your point of power, and you have everything at your finger tips right now that can thrill you and give you boundless satisfaction. You have most likely experienced wanting something with all your heart. You thought about it, dreamed about it, and held it as your pure desire over time. Then, almost suddenly, it’s yours. Don’t you remember how you felt at this point? It feels really good to manifest the thing you wanted…but it never feels quite as good, or lasts quite as long as you imagined it would. Almost immediately, you have a new object of desire, and you stand in a new place launching new ideas that you will strive for. It simply never ends.
So I suggest that today you take the opportunity to note the perfection of your present time and place. Everything in the Universe is available to you in this moment. The Law of Attraction has lined you up perfectly with everything you need. There is nothing to wait for…you have arrived…and you will never arrive. Don’t postpone your connection to Source Energy, because it is never in the future…it’s always in your present, available in abundance and in inexhaustible amounts. Don’t wait to be happy. Accept and allow your happiness right now. Your present is perfectly imperfect. Love it and expand through it. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

(Editor’s Note: We welcome another contribution from the GratitudePlanet.com Community. Thanks Billy for sharing your story with us.)
When I was 16, I began attending the LDS church. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what LDS stands for, it’s the Church of Jesus Christ, of Latter Day Saints (hence the LDS), or Mormon church. Shortly after, I joined the church, and was an active member for over 10 years. I left the church over differences of opinion regarding spiritual matters. But I digress. One of the things I most enjoyed about the church was the music. Like most of the churches of the christian faith, we sang hymns of worship every Sunday, including one of the corner stone hymns of the church “Come, come ye Saints.” Where am I going with this, you may be asking. I’m glad you asked! One of the creators of Gratitude Planet has a wonderful tradition of saying three simple words in many of his articles. “All is well.” While these words speak a truth that has been handed down for generations from seers and prophets, to kings and poets, these three simple words, “All is well,” hold a very special place in my heart and mind, because of the ending of that one hymn that I used to sing so many years ago. The words go like this: “Do this in joy, your hearts will swell. All is well…All is well.” So many times we go through our lives in fear of not getting what we will need to sustain us. We worry about the current economic conditions that has grappled the collective minds of the entire world. Disease and warfare seem to be at the forefront of every news broadcast, and on the front page of every news paper and magazine. Our leaders disappoint us and we wonder where we are heading in the days to come. With all of this “stuff” going on, it’s sometimes hard to hold onto the fact that “All is well!” When this happens, when you find yourself dwelling on all of the negative garbage that is being shoved into your consciousness, here’s one simple thing that you do, that I have found to be of great benefit at helping me take charge of my life. Are you ready for it? It’s really revolutionary. OK….here it is.
Stop. That’s right……..stop. Stop whatever it is your doing and take a deep breath. Close you eyes and calm yourself as much as possible. Remind yourself of who you are, and where you come from. You are part of something greater than any situation on this planet. You are part of Source. You are a creator. You are creating moments for yourself at every moment of every day. You have the power within you to create anything your imagination can come up with for yourself. Start to think of what it is you really want. Maybe you want more financial security. Perhaps you want to live in a more peaceful environment. Whatever it is, be sure to keep it in a positive frame of mind, so that good things will come your way. Take the time to reconnect with source and allow Law of Attraction to align you with those things that your heart most desires. As you reconnect, begin to take into you that eternal truth that all IS well. All IS provided for you. All that is good is heading your way. All you need do is ask, and you shall receive. Open your eyes and continue to breathe in the essence of all the good things that your heart and mind most desires. “Do this in joy, your hearts will swell. All is well….All is well.”

November 17, 2009
I had a minor revelation a couple of nights ago as I pondered how I felt and how I was interacting with others. I realized, in a deeper way than ever before, that I can offer little to others if I am not connected to Source Energy myself. When you feel connected, you feel good. Connection feels like fun, expansion, gratitude, and appreciation. Feeling good is your number one job, especially if you want to be of value to others. And yet, we have been told by many that the best way to serve others is through hard work and sacrifice. The message was something like “don’t be selfish, put others first, give more than you take, and do it as long as you can keep it up. Someday, after your death, you will be rewarded.” I am sure that you have received this message in some form, at some time, from people in your life. Here are five things to remember as you put all this into perspective:
1. There is no shortage of Source Energy. It exists in abundance and will never run out.
2. You are worthy to receive Source Energy. There is no test to pass to make you worthy. It is yours for the taking, and it is free.
3. When you allow Source Energy to flow through you, you have everything to give. When you are disconnected from Source Energy, you have very little to give, and what you try to do from sheer work won’t make as much of a difference to others.
4. When you are motivated without being connected to Source Energy, people will be less inspired by your words and actions. Your intention to uplift others will be watered down. When you are inspired through your connection to Source Energy, people will sense your enthusiasm, your genuine gratitude and appreciation, and your full belief that all is well.
5. The Law of Attraction works the same if you are connected to Source Energy, as it does if you are NOT connected to Source Energy. So it is impossible, by Universal law, to attract something different than your own vibrational offering. Through your conscious connection to Source Energy, you set the bar that determines your power, expansion, allowing, and value to others.
The insight I received the other evening happened when I was feeling good while talking over dinner. The conversation was fun and expanding, and I had so much to say that felt good while I said it. At one point the conversation, for what ever reason, turned to a topic that didn’t feel as good. Without thinking, I joined in and helped the conversation feel worse and worse, adding comments and stories that moved me away from my Source Energy. I started moving down the vibrational scale until I felt pretty disconnected and even sad. I could see that my friends were also feeling the “buzz kill” of the conversation. Now, from my disconnection I decided to uplift the table by saying things that felt a little better. However, I was trying to offer these words before I felt better myself. Saying the words actually made me feel worse, and I could tell that it felt awkward to the others too. So then I remained quiet for a short time, maybe two minutes, and just thought thoughts of gratitude and appreciation. Talking to myself felt easier than trying to change others from my point of disconnection, and within two minutes I had a good-feeling vibration rolling again. My next offering to the group was met with smiles and felt like it made a positive difference to the vibration of the group. Notice today when you move ahead in your connection to Source Energy, and when you just move ahead to make something happen. Start being more sensitive to the way you feel when you are working, and when you are flowing with Source. Flow more, work less, and be filled with love and gratitude. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

No too long ago I read a book by Macolm Gladwell called “Blink.” This book examines the information we receive in the first two seconds we meet someone, see something, interact with something, or experience something new. He talks about how we receive every relevant aspect of information that we need to know about a situation in two seconds or less, or in the time it takes to blink. While Gladwell doesn’t like the term “intuition” and consciously avoids the term in his book, I like the term and I think his ideas can absolutely be linked to a discussion of intuition. The dictionary defines intuition this way:
intuition |ˌint(y)oōˈi sh ən|
noun
the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning : we shall allow our intuition to guide us.
• a thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning : your insights and intuitions as a native speaker are positively sought.
Intuition is the path through which information can be received without excessive interference by the Ego. Have you ever noticed that if you think too much about anything, you can either talk yourself into or out of doing it? In the process of thinking too much, you may doubt your decision and start avoiding making any decision at all? Likewise, how many times have you been struck in the moment by a feeling that feels absolutely right…and a desire to move ahead in full connection? I think that everything we need to know IS there for us to discover in the exact moment we need it. I believe that intuition is always present to guide us through the day. If we choose to hear it and act upon it, I think we have an opportunity to live a connected, magical and spontaneous life.
The Law of Attraction is connected to intuition, of course. When you ask through your constant vibration of living, the Universe lines you up with people and events that match your present point of attraction. But the Law of Attraction is also gently nudging you toward more and more fulfillment too, and is helping you move toward the things you want. For example, if you are asking for more peace and quiet, and you are traveling by plane, you will encounter (potentially) things that are not peaceful nor quiet in your day. However, if you have been relaxing and allowing yourself to be centered, and if you are willing to listen to your intuition, magic is possible. You may be walking through the terminal and your intuition tells you to take a certain route to the gate…you listen and take the route…and you experience a nice, peaceful walk to the gate. Little did you know that there was a person arguing with their friend along the other route that you didn’t take, and that experience was not part of your experience because of your decision to follow your intuition in the first second you heard it. You may have an intuition to change your seat at check in (or not to change it) and then find yourself surrounded by quiet, pleasant people, rather than unhappy people or loud crying infants. Trusting your intuition can be a challenge, but the more you do it, the better you get at it. Get “In To” your life with a closer walk with your own intuition. Play with it and see how it works for you. Be easy about it and enjoy the gifts you will be led toward…and be sure to notice the wonderful gifts you are given. Be grateful and appreciative, and enjoy this most amazing day. Chris-GP

Hello everyone. I am Lisa and I am contributing my first post to Gratitudeplanet.com today. Thanks for reading.
I was walking the other day and started noticing the voices in my head. Before you think I am crazy (which my friends would say I might be) remember that we all talk to ourselves in our mind. There seems to be a constant chatter going on commenting on everything that is happening all the time. Sometimes when I meditate I can get it to calm down but it is mostly always there. You probably have noticed the same thing. So on my walk I started observing what the chatter in my mind was. I think because of the rhythm I was walking to, I was mostly singing songs to myself. The songs were songs I know or have known from my past. I had to ask the question, “what vibration am I reinforcing with these songs?” I know Law of Attraction always hears what you say and vibrate. The words to the song I had in my head when I started noticing all of this went like this: shot to the heart and you’re to blame…you give love a bad name!” I like this song. But I had to decide if it was a good use of my walk and inner talk time to be repeating these words to myself. So for fun, I sang the song but changed the words a bit: love with your heart it keeps you sane…I give love a good name!” Just singing the new words to myself made me laugh and smile, and I swear I could feel my vibration raise. I felt better. So notice today what you say to yourself and see if it raises your vibration. If it doesn’t then change the words, the song, of the theme of your inner voices. It works for me and perhaps you will feel a positive difference in your vibration too. I hope so. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post. Lisa

November 13, 2009
I was thinking this morning about the phrase “as if your life depended on it,” like when someone says “run as if your life depends on it.” It has several angles worth examining. When you say that your life depends on something, it tends to get your attention. With attention comes focus, and through focus we get clarity. When you are clear about what you want, it is easier to become aligned with an idea. When you are aligned, the Law of Attraction does it’s magic and brings more things to you that are a match to the alignment you have created. So anything that gets your attention can be of benefit to your progress as you create a deliberate life of bliss and connection.
But does your life really depend on something for its existence? Aren’t we eternal beings? Surely we will all make a transition someday back into pure, positive energy. But that won’t be an end, it will just be another transition in an ever-unfolding Universe of expansion. So if we fear death as an end, it can certainly get our attention and give us focus and motivation…but it may cause us to chase our connection to Source from a disconnected, fear-based focus. So I don’t recommend creating focus through fear. So the phrase, “live as if your life depended on it” seems less helpful from this perspective.
So this morning I am using the following phrase to focus my attention to my wellbeing: “Today I live as if my love depends on it!” I am an eternal being. My life is assured. The only real question I have today, then, is whether or not I am allowing my full connection to Source Energy (Love) or not. When I live as if my love depends on it, I take a focused look at how I feel today, knowing that I can open in love, or I can turn from love and be closed off from it. When I choose thoughts that feel good as I think them…thoughts of gratitude, appreciation, wellbeing, etc., I open up my consciousness to higher and higher (better feeling) vibrations. I become a conduit of love and connection. I uplift everyone in my experience (even through cyberspace). Choose today to pay attention to how you feel, and see if you can allow more love into your vibration. Love yourself first, and then let that love radiate out everywhere you go, into every interaction you have. Your life doesn’t depend on it, but your love does. Live in love today. Enjoy this most amazing day. Chris-GP

If you have been working with the Law of Attraction and practicing gratitude and appreciation, you know the value of aligning with the feeling of what you have been asking for. Some people worry, however, that they need to be specific about what they are happy about. If they are trying to create a new job, for example, they might think that they need to give continuous thanks for the new job on the way. There is nothing wrong with doing this, but it can have diminishing returns, depending on the way it feels. When you believe something is on the way, and then whip up excitement because you know it’s coming soon, there is great power behind your thoughts and feelings. But when you don’t really believe it’s coming soon, and you feel a need to affirm that it is, you may feel worse by using words that are too far away from how you really feel. The key is to use the best feeling words you can that tell a story that you want to hear. The words you say to yourself need to be in a range that make you feel better. Saying words you absolutely don’t believe won’t move you closer to where you want to be, and may even reinforce a feeling of separation with yourself.
What seems to work for many people is guiding everything they do based on how it feels when they are doing it, and readjusting as they go. If you are creating that new job, then talk about the new job in terms that feel good. If you find yourself going down a path that doesn’t feel so good, change direction and find different words about the job. If you find, however, that no matter what you say about the new job you feel worse…simply don’t talk about it. Instead, find another subject that you can talk about that DOES feel good. Don’t worry about creating the job at this point. You have asked the Universe and Law of Attraction for the new job, and it is ready to appear in your experience. But it can’t come if you are feeling disconnected. A general feeling of happiness, gratitude, and contentment is all you need to practice. The rest will unfold perfectly. Today, just relax and know that all is so very well. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

There are times in your life when you know exactly what you want, and you can get very focused in terms of manifesting it. There are other times, however, where you can seem to be waiting for inspiration to take hold and guide you toward the next thing you want. Either way, life has gifts for you to enjoy. When you have been experiencing periods of contrast, you get a clear picture of what you want to manifest. For example, if you get really sick, then you create a very strong desire for health…and Law of Attraction answers immediately by creating a vibrational YOU who is in better health. If you have financial challenges that get chronic, then you create a very strong desire for prosperity…and Law of Attraction answers immediately by creating a vibrational YOU who is experiencing immense wealth and prosperity. You job, once this has all been done, is to become the new you with the expanded experience. It isn’t about attracting the new thing. You are literally becoming a new you, experiencing a new vibration with an expanded perspective. This is important because most people try to allow the new thing from the place where they are standing…in essence, trying to vibrate differently from the same vibrational standpoint. To move ahead into a new vibration you need to relax, allow, and be willing to be the new you. Yet, your ego perspective will do it’s best to talk you into staying in the same patterns that you have established. The ego likes to hold on to what it has for fear of losing everything. Yet, there is no end to the expansion of the Universe, and you will always be alive in some form. If you want to experience a new manifestation, play with the idea of being a new you…the idea of changing enough to be the new you with the new thing. If you do this, you will more easily imagine yourself in the new vibration, having a thrilling experience in the new place as the new you. Be willing to let go, and let the Universe fill you with a new expansion. Enjoy this amazing day! Chris-GP

Last summer I did something I haven’t done in years. I was visiting family and there was a large puzzle on the kitchen table in the process of being completed. Working on a puzzle looks so boring, and I hardly consider it as an activity worth spending time on. But I was on vacation, and I really wanted to spend time with family members, so I started working on the puzzle with them. I have to say, it is way more fun to work on a puzzle than it is to watch someone else work on a puzzle.I suppose that is a good analogy for life as well: it’s so much fun to be a thriving part of an expanding and fulfilling life than it is to watch someone else thriving and expanding. Luckily, we all get to choose how our life expands through the Law of Attraction, and if there is something we want, we need only give our full attention to it and allow it into our experience. There is another great parallel to life and a puzzle: if you do the whole puzzle in anticipation of how you will feel when you put the last piece in place, you will have a lot of hard work for a small payoff at the end. And most likely, like life, you probably won’t feel a huge thrill when the last piece is in place…it will feel like the next logical step, and you will probably be ready for another puzzle. The trick is enjoying the process of putting it together, and having lots of little thrills along the way to enjoy, knowing that the end is not the goal.
If you live your life like a beautiful puzzle, there will be some immediate advantages to you. Here are some that come to me this morning:
1. You know you are making something beautiful.
2. You have many triumphs along the way.
3. Small roadblocks release into times of great progress, as you find a section of pieces that fit together.
4. You know that there is order to it all, and you can relax into full awareness that all is well, and that everything you need is provided.
5. You have a job: to find the next piece. Your job is not to finish it all with the next piece, nor could you if you tried to.
6. With every piece added, the whole scene gets more and more beautiful.
7. Problems (pieces not found) on one day get a new perspective on another day, and you “see” things you missed the previous day.
8. Others can help you see things you were missing as well.
9. You don’t try to force pieces that look close but don’t fit, but rather you relax and know that the right piece is out there to complete your perfect image.
10. On some level you realize that it’s really just a game. It’s probably not your first or last puzzle, so there is no rush to complete it so that you can be deserving. You are exactly in the right place at the right time, right now…doing today’s puzzle.
I hope this makes sense to your broader knowing. Your life is like a beautiful, huge and amazing puzzle. Enjoy the progress you are making right now. Be Well, Marie-GP

Haven’t you noticed that it’s hard to watch, listen to, or read the news without being hijacked by stories about bombings, murders, shootings, illness, natural disasters, and the like? At GratitudePlanet.com we are grateful that there is also a lot of good news in the world. There simply are trillions of reasons to feel good on planet Earth. We’re also pretty sure that the news media finds the 5% of the bad news happening today and gives it 95% of the prime time coverage. We think this is misleading, and that this is why some people believe the world has gone crazy. Law of Attraction matches you with whatever you give your attention to. What if 100% of your news reflected the 95% of the good news out there? Our “Good News” section is for recent links to news stories that we hope will make you feel better after reading them. We hope that you will also contribute to the page if you have a link to an uplifting story. The GP staff will search for news items that will uplift and enhance your connection to wellbeing…so you can hear about some of the happenings in the world without having to wade through the pile of bad-feeling news. To get there, you can navigate from the super menu (above) or on the sidebar to your right. Happy reading…and we really mean it! Chris-GP

The Chinese philosopher Confucius (551-479 BCE) is often attributed the quote “Choose a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” There is so much wisdom in this saying, and it seems to be a major component of living a happy life with purpose. When you love your job, every day is a day filled with growth and expansion. You are able to commit yourself to being present because you don’t have the distraction of wishing you were somewhere else, or wishing away the time while you feel bored and unengaged. There are few (if any) jobs that don’t have some aspect of “have to’s” associated with them. But I know that loving your job spills over into everything else you do, and the happiest people I know seem to have fulfilling and meaningful work that they like to one degree of another.
But what about if you don’t love your job, or what if you really dislike your job? You have two choices. You can use this feeling of unhappiness to launch a new desire for a better job, and then you can be ready to act when the time for inspired action arrives. Or you can just complain, tell a sad story to anyone who will listen, and whip up an amazingly disconnected feeling every time you think of your work. Obviously only the first choice is the productive choice. But it can be difficult to see something positive inside something you have whipped up to a negative feeling/vibration. Remember that the Law of Attraction can only bring you more of what you have, so it is never in your best interest to perpetuate a story that feels bad. Instead, you have to tell a different story to anyone who will listen. You have to look for the small things you love about your job that you might have been subconsciously ignoring. Take these small things and turn them into BIG things. For example, you may not enjoy attending meetings in your job. Instead of waking and dreading the day because of a 1:00 PM meeting you have to attend, be grateful for the coffee break you will have with your friend at 10:00 AM. Create an inner dialogue that is playful, even for tasks that are repetitive. I know that when I have to, say, stuff 1,000 envelopes I find some sort of game to play, with my own made-up rules and with crazy goals that make me laugh. To someone watching, it looks like I am just going about my business and working. But my inner thinking is amusing me to no end. If you hate your job, remember that you have the real power to sustain that vibration or to change that vibration. You can make your vocation your vacation, with just a little change of focus and with a little bit of redirection in your inner speak.
And here’s the most important part of all of this. If you are stuck in a job you dislike, and you find a way to love it and enjoy it…it’s highly likely that you will be offered another job that you like even more. When you hate your job, the Law of Attraction will keep you in it because it matches you with more of what you are experiencing. You may be fired, but you will attract another job you hate. So if you choose (right now) to love your job more, then more opportunities for work you enjoy will be made available to you in very short order. Do what you love and love what you do…as much as possible…and let the magic or your life take a firm hold and amaze you with every turn. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

There is an old New England joke that goes something like this! STRANGER TO LOCAL: “Good morning sir. Do you know how to get to Bar Harbor?” (pronounced “Bar-har-bur”) LOCAL TO STRANGER: “Yup, I do…but you can’t get there from here.” (pronounced “they-ah from hee-ah”) The joke is funnier when you realize that there are some places in Maine that are close by across the water, but much farther by car. In essence, you have to drive somewhere else first to get there directly. The phrase makes perfect sense of another truth regarding the Law of Attraction: You can’t get to a new place (vibration, manifestation, etc.) from where you are…you have to become a match to the new vibration first.
Think about the things you are wanting to attract into your life: health, wellbeing, a new relationship, prosperity, a new job…whatever it may be. You can’t get there from here. The reason you don’t have it is because you are vibrating (sending out a signal to the Universe) as a person without it. You may be confused at this point because of all our posts about being present and living in the NOW. You may ask “how can I live in the now and hold a vibration different than the one I have now?” Indeed, this is a paradox. The trick is letting yourself feel the feeling of being or achieving the new thing in this moment. This is different than seeing yourself achieving or being this thing in the future. Another way to think of this is to realize that you are not attracting something new to you, but you are instead changing into a new person who has the new thing. When you say “I’ll be different when I have money,” the implication (vibration) is “I have no money.” You can’t get there from here. But you can allow yourself to feel prosperous NOW, and to feel like the new person NOW, and to take action like a prosperous person NOW, and to be in a new vibration of prosperity NOW. You will have moved from here to there, to a place where you can feel like the new person with the new and present vibration, and Law of Attraction can then bring the full manifestation into your awareness very quickly. Be willing to change, and be playful about your thoughts. Linger in feelings that feel good while you think them. Even a little shift from where you are, into a direction of where you would rather be, will harness the Law of Attraction in very powerful ways. Try this approach and let us know what you experienced. Enjoy this most beautiful day. Chris-GP

There are times that I can’t relax because I am trying so hard to accomplish something. I get the feeling that if I just try a little harder, or focus a little more I will finally be done doing the thing I am doing. This can certainly be true when the thing is paying the bills, or painting a house, or doing the dishes. But what about when you assign that frame of mind to larger aspects of your life, like attaining enlightenment, perfecting your tennis game, or becoming wealthy and prosperous? In these cases we often assign our happiness to a future time when we will be “done” and can then “arrive” in some new place or mindset. We might say “I’ll be happy when I can pay these bills’” or a similar statement. When you do this, you use Law of Attraction to your disadvantage. Remember that the Law of Attraction only responds to your vibration and not your words. So saying “I will put off my happiness until later in the future when this thing happens” keeps the thing from happening, and keeps you in an unhappy place. We are eternal beings, and there is no “there” to get to. The best way to have everything you want right now is to enjoy everything you have right now. There is a perfection in our imperfection…our journey can’t be completed…because it never ends. So don’t wish for the better day to come. Instead, look for the evidence that makes THIS day your best day so far. Find as many excuses as you can to love your journey right now. Be grateful for everything you have today. No matter what you are doing today, find the perfection imbedded in the process. If you love your NOW, you will start ushering in amazing new NOWS as your future becomes the present over and over again. You will no longer long for your work to be over so you can relax into your wellbeing, because you will already be relaxing into the best part…and the ONLY part we have access to…the present. Enjoy this most amazing moment! Chris-GP

The last flight I took there was the normal safely lecture before the jet took off. I pretended to listen (like everyone else) and stared into space. Then, when they got to the part about the oxygen mask coming down from the ceiling it made me think of an important fact of life. This is that you must secure your own mask before helping others. What this means is that you can’t help one other person find their center and connection if you can’t find your own. It is honorable and right to want to be of service and value to others but you can’t lead another to wellbeing from your sense of not-wellbeing. The best thing you can do every day is wake, be grateful, and find your sense of bliss and wellbeing before you do anything else. If you see people throughout the day and they sense your good feeling vibration, they are going to want to join you and feel good too. If you don’t take care of your own vibration first, they will sense this too and will join you in not feeling good. It’s OK to be selfish when we are talking about putting on your air mask first before you help others. Let it be OK too that you put on your vibration of wellbeing before trying to assist others. You will be so much more effective doing it in this order. May this day be the best day of your life (so far!). Marie-GP

November 1, 2009
Every night when you sleep, you emerge into a space where you are very allowing. You receive rest and inspiration. You let go of patterns that you might be keeping (for better or for worse) while you are awake. It is a great time to recharge. I have a technique that I have used for years to make that subconscious time even more valuable to your waking vibration: I say a short, allowing affirmation to myself before I fall asleep each night. It’s easy to do, takes almost no time, and you will feel the effects of it as soon as the next morning. Here’s what you do:
Lie quietly in your bed and close your eyes. You should be ready to drift to sleep. Create a present-tense statement that reflects something you are going to receive while you sleep. Let it be one sentence that feels good when you say it. If it is job related, you could say: “My co-workers always enjoy my leadership, and we are a fantastic team.” If it is prosperity related, you could say: “Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.” If you are wanting more friends, you might say: “I’m always in the right place at the right time to meet new and interesting friends.” You get the idea.
Now, what you do is you say the statement to yourself, in your mind, while feeling the truth of the statement. Have no doubt that you are allowing this thing to be attracted to you through the Law of Attraction. The first time you say the statement, emphasize EVERY word, and feel each word as a confirmation of the thing you are allowing. See each word in your mind. For example, if you use the statement for prosperity above, it might flash through your mind like this:
MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS
Feel the truth of this statement. It is coming to you in this moment. Then, say it again emphasizing only the first word:
MONEY and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.
Again, feel deeply the truth of this statement. It is coming to you in this moment. Then, say it again emphasizing only the second word:
Money AND abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.
Continue in this pattern until you emphasize each word of the affirmation in order. Finally, emphasize the whole sentence again. The whole sequence would look like this:
MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS!
MONEY and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!
Money AND abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!
Money and ABUNDANCE flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance FLOW to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance flow TO me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance flow to ME endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance flow to me ENDLESSLY in ever-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance flow to me endlessly IN ever-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in EVER-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-INCREASING amounts!
Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing AMOUNTS!
MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS!
At this point, relax and enjoy the fact that your mind is focused, your work is done, and your only job is to let the power of sleep do its work while you rest and receive. Look for evidence of the affirmation throughout the whole next day. You will see it. If you like the feeling of the statement, repeat it again for several nights. There is no need to do more than one statement a night. Just do it once and believe in the truth of it. Let the Law of Attraction respond to your asking without you having to “make it happen.” Enjoy, allow, receive, and rest. Be.Love. Hannya-GP
