(Editor’s Note: Today we welcome another contribution from Gratitude Planet Community member Lisa E. Miller. Lisa is a deliberate creator from Las Vegas who enjoys inspiring others through writing. We appreciate her positive words. Thanks Lisa! GP-Staff)
We have all heard the saying “what goes around comes around” haven’t we? But let me pose this question to you, whenever you hear someone say this or when have heard these words fall from your own lips, what are the thoughts normally occuring in your mind? Do you say these words in response to someone treating you harshly or unfairly? Are you saying these words in response to someone who has done something that angers you? Someone who has hurt you?
If you are nodding your head in agreement to these questions then you are not fully understanding this phrase! If you are secretly thinking hateful or vengeful thoughts about someone while saying out loud or to yourself that what goes around comes around, you have not yet arrived at a full understanding of KARMA. When you have negative thoughts towards another you are not hurting that person…you are hurting YOURSELF! You cannot harm another individual with your thoughts, only yourself. Whatever you are thinking and feeling you are also creating. If these thoughts are unkind and unloving, you are bringing unkindness and unlovingness into your own life. Do yourself a favor and think and feel kind, loving thoughts towards others, especially those who have harmed you. You will be pleasantly surprised at what comes back to you.

I have enjoyed the recent posts about prosperity here on Gratitude Planet, and I want to share a list of things that I consider to be my personal riches. To be rich and prosperous, first you have to feel rich and prosperous. But if you don’t feel rich and prosperous, you can’t attract more of it through Law of Attraction. Law of Attraction can only bring you more of whatever you are vibrating right now. But how can you feel like a million dollars before you have a million dollars? You start small and work your way out from there. I am able to feel like a million by thinking of the millions of reasons I have to be happy, connected, grateful, and appreciative in this moment. Here is my short list. Make your own today, on paper or in your mind. Let yourself attract expanded abundance into your life by loving the riches you already have! Be.Love, Hannya-GP
- I can pay my bills.
- My car starts every day
- My family loves and supports me.
- The sun warms my face and feeds me vitamin D through my skin.
- My coffee is warm, rich, and satisfying.
- The house is quiet and serene, and I have peace in my vibration.
- I have clothes to wear that enhance my self-image.
- I slept very well last night.
- My job is a perfect mix of focus and fun.
- Summer is coming soon.
- The economy is improving and expanding again.
- My dogs never stop loving me.
- I get to write contributions on Gratitude Planet, which feels good.
- My body is flexible and I feel good in it.
- I meditate with ease.
- I am able to give time, money and talents away in ever-increasing amounts.
- I know about the Vibrational Scale, so I know I never need to be stuck in any one emotion very long.
- I am optimistic about my expanding abundance.
- I have the internet and all the information available through it.
- I have friends who appreciate me.
- I have music on my iPod that I love listening to.
- I have a mind that I can use to focus and attract absolutely anything I can desire.

The phrase “follow your bliss” has become a well known one in the minds of many people. Yet, what does it mean to you? If you are following your bliss, does it mean that you don’t remember to do the things you need to do in your life? Do you become likely to not feed your pets, clean your house, or be there for friends and family? While following your bliss probably does imply a certain amount of spontaneity in your choices and actions, it also implies that these choices are made through direct connection to Source Energy. One person connected to source is more clear, more centered, and more likely to make appropriate decisions, and demonstrate caring actions, than a person who is not feeling a connection to Source. Following your bliss means that you make choices from a place of inspired action, and that you move forward with a knowledge and a belief in a positive outcome. In your bliss you line up with situations and events that are perfectly unfolding before you, and you gain an incredible sense of timing…always being in the right place at the right time. “Blissing out” is not an escape from reality, but rather an intensification of reality where you gain clarity and purpose. Being in your bliss maximizes the positive effect of the Law of Attraction. When you feel good, Law of Attraction brings you more and more experiences to match it!
But what if you can’t find bliss, feel bliss, or perceive any bliss in your vibration? How do you follow what you can’t feel? The answer is, you can’t! What you can do, however, is find a feeling that feels better than the one you are feeling. In any moment, you can choose thoughts that either move you closer, or that move you farther away from, your bliss. The Vibrational/Emotional Scale helps you know where you are at all times. No matter what you are feeling, you have access to feelings that feel a little less resistant, that feel like relief, and that feel more connected than the ones you are feeling right now. Reach for the best thought you can, and then reach again. Before long, bliss will be in your range. Once you are there, bask in bliss like you would bask in the sun at the beach on a perfect summer day. Milk it for all it’s worth, and keep reaching for the feeling of connection. Your greatest gift, and your greatest responsibility is to be a connected being. The rest is just details. You will still feed your cat…the only difference is that you will totally appreciate your cat while you serve it. Your cat, however, will probably feel the same way about you that it always has. 
Be Well, Marie-GP

Reading Gratitude Planet yesterday really inspired me. It helped me remember that giving and receiving are part of the natural order of life, and that to be in the flow means knowing how to give freely and also how to receive freely. If you block this Universal flow, you increase vibrations of lack, stagnation, illness, poverty, and the like. If you can learn to dance with the “in and out” pulsations of this natural energy, you increase your love, wellness, prosperity, expansion, joy, gratitude, and appreciation. Life gets better and better as you realize that the more you trust and give, the more you will receive…your cup can’t be emptied because the Universe fills it up in proportion to what you have freely given. You become prosperous through your generosity. Remember too that receiving is just as important to the flow. Accept the gifts that flow to you. To only give is just as ineffective as only receiving: an imbalance is created. Here are my ten tips for increasing your giving and receiving today. I hope you like them, and I hope they make you feel a little better when you recall and live them. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP
- When cashing out at a store, if there is a “Take a penny, leave a penny” tray, do so, even if you aren’t paying with cash. If you have a penny in your pocket, donate it to the tray. Tell yourself “I always have plenty of money.”
- When entering a building, offer to hold a door open for one or several people. Smile and nod and “play doorman” (or door person). Give the gift of service for 20 seconds. When someone opens a door for you, move right through and thank them. Tell yourself “I always have plenty of time to play with others.”
- When meeting someone for the first time, or even someone you know well, give them an honest compliment right away. Maybe say “wow, I love your shoes,” or “you seem to be in a great mood today.” This giving costs nothing, but is completely valuable and appreciated. Tell yourself “I give compliments easily. I see the best in others.”
- When eating out, tip more if you get amazing service. If your waiter or waitress is really fun and connected, and if you feel you got exceptional service, up your standard tip. If your default tip, regardless of service, is 15%, then give 20% or even 25% for amazing service. Tell yourself “I give and I receive freely. I have received amazing service, and I give back in joy right now. I have plenty of money.”
- If you have a business, give yourself the gift of meditation and focus on the expansion of the business. See it growing and serving others in more and more powerful ways. Take time to be quiet with yourself and allow your vision to take hold in your vibration. Imagine it unfolding powerfully. Tell yourself “I give myself to this vision, and I expect to live it as soon as today.”
- Create a fake ledger on your computer. Deposit fake money into it. Pretend it is real. Look on line for ways to spend it all. Let yourself enjoy deciding how you will spend it. What do you want? Enter your “purchases” in your ledger. Every day increase your deposit, and then spend it again. Donate as much as you want to to causes you believe in. Tell yourself “I can’t spend all this money fast enough. It just keeps coming back in greater and greater amounts.”
- Buy a new CD that thrills your heart. If you hear an artist or musical group that makes you feel great when you hear a performance on the radio or on TV, support them by buying a CD of their music. Pay full price for it and feel great about helping them expand their audience. Tell yourself “I give freely to people who make my life better through their art.”
- Give freely when you sense a need. If you are entering the grocery store and you see a hungry person outside, consider buying something to give them that they can eat immediately. They may ask you for money, which you can give them if you are inspired to do so, but choose something ready to eat that you know will nourish them. Tell yourself “I give to others in need. The Universe gives to me in my generosity and gratitude as well, always.”
- When someone offers to help you with something, or to give you something, accept their offer gratefully. Yes, it can take longer to have someone “help you” do something, but if you accept the offer in joy and openness, you can keep your flow open on the receiving end. Tell yourself “I receive gifts into my life freely, joyously, and openly.”
- Give gratitude and appreciation for what you have right now. Practice being content with the prosperity you are enjoying right now. Law of Attraction will bring you more abundance when it knows you already feel abundant and prosperous. Love where you are, and expect a lot more too. Tell yourself “I am abundant, prosperous, and completely in the allowing flow of the Universe. All is well in my life. I am open to the next expanding step.”

Today I want to make a few statements about creating and attracting more prosperity into your life. Some people mistake prosperity for only money, thinking that having more money brings prosperity. But prosperity is a way of living that allows more and more wellness and abundance into your experience. It is a form of consciousness where you live in a perfect balance of giving and receiving. It is a mindset formed from within the Vortex where you are connected to Source Energy and living with the full knowledge of the endless outpouring of prosperity available to all. Money does not create prosperity, but having more money IS a logical outcome to practicing prosperity thinking. If you want to increase your experience of money, focus instead of increasing your prosperity thinking, feeling, and acting. The money will follow, and so much more as well. Let’s look at what it means to feel, think, and act prosperous.
The ancient Chinese philosopher and teacher Lao-tzu (551-479 BCE) wrote a text called the Tao Te Ching over 2,500 years ago. The 81 verses are full of insight even for today’s modern world. In the 81st verse, Lao-tzu gives advice about being prosperous.
“The Master has no possessions.
The more he does for others,
the happier he is.
The more he gives to others,
the wealthier he is.”
But you might be thinking, “If I have no possessions, I will not have the money I desire. I won’t even need money if I don’t have any stuff.” The seeming contradiction here is the key to understanding prosperity consciousness: to receive, you have to give; to have and enjoy your stuff, you have to release its hold on your vibration. We sometimes try really hard to “make money” and to hoard what ever we amass. But the laws of the Universe are such that we must create a flow of “in and out” into our thinking. The Law of Attraction reads our vibration always, and magnifies the experience by matching it with other vibrations that are like it. So if you want more money, but you can’t give any away because you are afraid of not having enough, the Universe hears you thinking and feeling “I don’t have enough” and you remain without enough. When you worry about losing your possessions and fear that you must protect all your stuff from others who would take it away, your attachment to it all can keep you from enjoying what you have, and from increasing your joy. When you decide not to tip a waitress because you don’t feel you can afford to, the Universe, through Law of Attraction, agrees with you and keeps you in a consciousness of lack.
To practice prosperity consciousness, look for ways to give to others. This can be through money, but it doesn’t need to be just through money. You can give away your time, talents, and even your positive attitude to others. You can give a smile, or a comforting word, or a helping hand, or a kind gesture. Giving is a way of being, and through giving, you tell the Universe to fill your cup. You become wealthy in so many ways: friends, inner peace and joy, and also an increased flow of money. Prosperity is a way of living in the flow, within the Vortex. Prosperity releases and then it receives, and then releases and receives. Stop this flow, and you make it almost impossible to allow your life to feel abundant. Try giving more for 30 days and look for evidence of increased prosperity in your life. Feel how rich you feel. If you feel rich, your life MUST become rich in all ways…it is law. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

I like chatting with my close friends and laughing about some of the ridiculous situations I find myself in on occasion. I think most everyone has some funny stories to tell about being in a real-life sitcom called “reality.” Life certainly has the ability to thrill us, get our attention, and make us mad, sometimes all at the same time! But when I choose to relive an event by telling someone about it, I am choosy about how I tell it, and I really pay attention to how I feel when I tell it. I know that the Law of Attraction can’t tell the difference between the event I experienced, and the experience of retelling the account of the experience. In other words, when I tell someone about what happened, vibrationally it’s like it is happening again. In the act of retelling the experience, I charge up Law of Attraction to bring me more of the same. So, for example, if someone brings me flowers and sings a song to me, and I tell ten people about it throughout the day on different occasions, Law of Attraction thinks that I had eleven wonderful experiences of people bringing me flowers and singing to me. Chances are that I will attract other experiences that feel the same as that one, even if it looks different on the surface (remember that it’s all about vibration and how things feel). By telling my story ten times I got myself in the Vortex, and I whipped up the yummy vibration of the experience so that it could summon more experiences like it. And that’s how it works in a nutshell: the stories you tell determine what you will be living in the future.
Of course, this works no matter how your story feels. Law of Attraction gives you more of what you focus on, even if it feels bad. So let’s say that you have a fender-bender on your way to work. You are angry that it happened, and to make matters worse, you were late for an important meeting. It is important to communicate to your coworkers what happened, and to explain why you were late. You may also choose to cry on the shoulder of a friend at some point in the day, which is necessary sometimes. But now you have to decide if you are going to tell this story ten more times. If you are willing to relive it ten more times with anyone who will pause to listen to you, then you are creating eleven fender-benders for Law of Attraction to grab onto. You are asking for more of the same, even though you don’t think you are. If you choose this path, get ready for the essence of “fender-bender” to reappear in your experience soon. I have heard people say that “bad things come in threes,” and I wonder if retelling the story has something to do with it?
Nothing comes in threes. Everything comes in relation to the vibrational signal you offer. Your stories about reality replay that reality until you create a new reality. Notice the stories you tell today and decide if you like the story enough to live it again in reality. If you liked the flowers, tell that story if someone will listen, and tell it to yourself if no one will listen. Law of Attraction, by the way, can read your vibration through your thinking, so you don’t even need to talk. It’s simple: talk about your life the way you want it to be, and it will unfold in line with your words and feelings. Be human, and be angry when you feel angry. Just don’t tell your angry story ten more times. Decide to tell “optimistic” stories instead. Get it? I know you do. Focus on your gratitude and appreciation for the things you already have if you need a new story to tell. It works for me! Be Well, Marie-GP

I am such a MAC Geek! I love to hear the gossip about the new Apple products, and I am excited about the new iPad, though I am waiting to let the hysteria die down a little before I even try to get my hands on one. You may have heard that a new version of the iPhone is coming out, possibly this June. Apparently, one of the developers of the new version of the iPhone was kicking back at a bar and left his prototype phone on the bar where it was found by someone who then, in turn, sold it to the media. The media buyer examined it, broke it open, photographed it, and put all the information up on their website. While I can’t condone what they did, it was interesting to see what the new version will probably look like and what kind of functionality it will have. I think we all like to dream about the latest and best version of our gadgets, and we like to know it’s on its way, emerging into our experience. I also think the same holds true with the latest and best version of US as well!
Do you know that right NOW there exists a very real, yet-to-be-released version of YOU? Did you know that this upgraded version of YOU has all the functionality and conveniences that you have been hoping for? This newer generation of YOU is designed to be the perfect advance over the present version in every way. It was created by YOU, for YOU, and is awaiting your permission to be released into your present by…you guessed it…YOU! How can this be? Let me explain.
When you live your life, you have many experiences that cause you to feel different emotions and feelings. Some emotions feel really good, and others feel not-so-good. These two kinds of emotions can be referred to connected or disconnected vibrations. When you feel any emotion you send out a vibration to the Universe, and this vibration is matched by the Law of Attraction and sent right back to you. If you feel connected on average over time, you begin to see more and more evidence or things appearing in your life that help you feel connected. People are nice to you, parking spaces appear, and traffic flows swiftly in the direction you need to go. Likewise, if you feel disconnected on average over time, you will feel the weight of the world working against you in various ways that will encourage you to feel more and more disconnected. You will have things break, people will appear snarky, and you may sit in traffic often. So it is always in your best interest to choose thoughts that help you feel connected on average, because Law of Attraction is matching your vibration, so the better it gets, the better it gets. But wait, you say, I can’t feel connected all the time. Am I messing up my life when I feel disconnected? The answer is no, disconnection will happen. It’s how you handle disconnection that makes the difference.
When you have a disconnected moment, you are acutely aware of what you DON’T want, because you are living a crappy-feeling experience of what you don’t want. Your vibration races out and is heard by Source Energy. But while Law of Attraction starts bringing you more disconnection, Source Energy gets to work creating the new version of YOU based on what you have concluded you DO want through your disconnection. This new version of you (we’ll call it 2.0 for fun) is completed and ready for you to upgrade to whenever you choose to. It is waiting for you, and it is calling you. The only problem is that you have to move away from the vibration that created it (disconnection) and into a new vibration (connection) so it can arrive to you. This means literally turning from the old version to the new version even before the new version appears. (OK, now you are really confused, right?) Here’s an example to help clarify:
You want to lose weight, and you see a picture of yourself looking HUGE and then you feel horrible (disconnection). You want more than ever to be slim, trim and healthy, and you are pissed off about your present state. Law of Attraction brings you people feeling about the same way you do: fat and out of shape. But Source Energy creates the 2.0 version of you through the disconnected experience, and you now have a slim, trim, and healthy version of yourself ready to emerge. But if you keep focused on what is, you can’t allow what you have created. If you tell the same story, feel the disconnection of the present, and get discouraged all the time, you can not let the new version of YOU become your new reality. The key is to start feeling thinner, tell thin stories, and feel better as much as you can. Look for images of health and abundance, and picture in your mind’s eye the new version 2.0 you have created in vibrational reality. It’s real. It’s ready for release. If you are doing this consistently, you will know because Law of Attraction will start sending you people that are losing weight (or who have lost weight), and who are feeling good about their physical image. You will find yourself feeling better and better around this topic. Just relax and allow the new you to arrive to you. Be happy to release old patterns, no matter how comfortable they may feel. The latest and greatest YOU is here. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

(Editor’s note: This post has been edited to conform to legal issues regarding the word “Platinum.” The original title has been changed, but the essence of the message remains the same. According to Wikipedia, rhodium is usually the most precious expensive metal on the market. It is part of the platinum group.)
I was inspired by Lisa’s post yesterday, so I thought I would pen this for our readers today. When I was growing up the adults in my life told me about the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This affected my behavior so that I was careful to be kind and respectful to others whenever I could be. I hoped that, in turn, others would be kind to me, and more times than not this was the case. Now that I know about the Law of Attraction, I am really interested in learning more about what I am calling the Rhodium Rule: “Do unto Yourself as you would have others do unto you.” The slight variation in the wording makes a huge difference in your focus. The Golden Rule is outward-focused, while the Rhodium Rule is inner-focused. The Golden Rule is kind of about acting carefully to control the behavior of others by setting an example for them; the Rhodium Rule dictates that you create your reality through your thoughts and inner focus, and that you affect the world by changing your own thoughts first. By treating yourself with kindness, for example, you would send out a vibrational signal to the Universe that would be heard and matched by the Law of Attraction. People and events that match the vibration would then begin to show up in your life and daily experience, and you would then be living the reality of the vibration of kindness that you directed inward toward your self first. Another way to state the Rhodium Rule might be “As you treat yourself, so will the world treat you,” or possibly “love yourself and the world will love you back.” Either way, you are empowered to be the Genius Creator of your life through your thoughts, feelings, and actions. You have complete control to choose how you want to be treated based on how you choose to treat yourself. Be grateful for the things you have, and be appreciative of your talents. Love Life, and Love YOU! Be.Love, Hannya-GP

I choose love whenever I can. Love is a vibration that feels good, that has no resistance, and that fills me with joy. Choosing love is easier than you might think it is. It does not mean pretending to love when you feel angry. It does not mean smiling when someone wrongs you. Choosing love has nothing to do with being disingenuous. It means being genuine, and being genuinely open to flowing the power of Source through your body and mind as much as possible. Do I get disconnected? You bet I do, because I am a human being on planet Earth. That’s part of the deal I agreed to when I emerged here on my first birthday. I knew that there would be connected times as well as disconnected times. But I never agreed to hold myself in a state of disconnection, or to look for things that made me feel bad. I came here, on planet Earth and in this body, to live fully…and this means loving fully!
I am always looking for excuses to love. We ignite our life with vigor when we allow our self to love fully. But how can you love fully with so many distractions in your day? I just let myself BE distracted by opportunities to love. Here are a few instances when I have loved recently:
- I sat on a rock near my house and heard the call of a cardinal in a high tree near by. I drank on the call of this majestic bird. I loved the sound.
- I took a bubble bath. The water was warm and soft. I breathed deeply and loved the moment.
- Someone complained to me at work. I thought about how they were doing the best that they could, and I felt their good intentions. My reaction turned from confusion to love as I saw her for the extension of God that she is.
- I looked at myself in the mirror and saw lines on my face and bags under my eyes. Then I saw the person behind those lines and bags…the person who earned them! I saw myself as a wise and complete human in the moment. I felt love for myself.
- My dog came to me and licked my face. I love my dog. (That was an easy one!)
- I spent five minutes on Facebook leaving a few positive comments for a few wonderful friends. I love the convenience of Facebook.
It goes on and on. If you want to fully live, you have to look for more opportunities to love. Loving is easy when you expect to love. Let loving be your intention, and look for opportunities to express your love, gratitude, appreciation, and connection in each moment you encounter. The Law of Attraction will respond quickly to your vibration of love, and you will increase the joy in your life to levels that will blow your mind. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP

There are so many wonderful people in the Gratitude Planet community, and I appreciate the many contributions made daily by people toward increasing positive energy and gratitude across our planet. Today I would like to introduce you all to a really caring and giving person, Dave, The Gratitude Guy. Dave, acting on his inspiration to do something positive and make a difference, created something called the Gratitude Tour in 2009. This tour involved Dave and his Grat Pack friends doing random acts of kindness, and encouraging others to do the same. The purpose of the Gratitude Tour was to remind each one of us of the importance of having daily gratitude in our lives, and to give back by doing random acts of kindness with people they met along the journey. 
On the 2009 Gratitude Tour in San Diego, CA, they handed out kindness cards requesting whomever they met to “Pay It Forward” and to continue doing kind-full acts for others. Dave has also created something he calls the Gratitude Ball, which once held in your hand and squeezed is a powerful reinforcement tool; it is a gentle reminder to feel positive energy and to put yourself in the right state of mind immediately.
And now Dave has set out to hold the 2010 Gratitude Tour on the east coast in May. It will begin in Miami and travel north to New Your City. At the present time, he is in the process of finding sponsors. His goal is to raise about $3,000 dollars, and wants to support a charitable organization and donate a portion of the proceeds to help their cause. The sponsors would receive advertising on the van, video, website, and on the Gratitude Balls they are passing out. He would promote any business with a logo or message on the back of the ball. You might want to donate to the Tour as a great way to say thank you to your customers, employees, friends, and family. Also, Dave is filming a video during the tour to showcase the Gratitude community to the world. He wants to show what people are doing to make a difference in their life and the people around them. His vision is “to educate everyone that the best way for us to value our present day happiness and gratitude for what we have is to live up to our potential. Being grateful for what you have is mandatory if you are ever to be happy.” His main purpose of this Gratitude Tour is to surround himself with positive people, learn from their experiences, inspire others, and make a needed contribution to society. Dave says that “If more people made a decision to be grateful for what they have now, great changes would occur, because I believe that Gratitude is the key that opens up the door to happiness.”
To help support the 2010 Gratitude Tour and the great work of Dave and his Grat Pack, Gratitude Planet has created a new page to keep our readers and subscribers updated on his news and progress. You will find this page at the top of the tool bar, and on the sidebar as well. The page is titled, appropriately, Gratitude Tour 2010. Thanks to Dave, and may the Gratitude Tour spread love and kindness far and wide. Check back for his updates! Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

When you first start understanding how the Law of Attraction works, you might start worrying about the thoughts you think. You might, for the first time, notice that you give a lot of attention to things that don’t feel very good, or you might come to the realization that you spend a lot of time watching sad movies, murder shows, or reading books about people who are struggling. Because thoughts create reality, your attention to anything invites the vibrational essence of what you are giving your attention to into your experience. So sometimes people start trying to censor their thoughts so that they don’t invite in real experiences that feel like sadness, murder, or struggle. The idea is a good one (to notice and shift your attention to other things) but you can’t stop a thought by trying not to think it. When you try to not think it, you include it into your vibration by your attempt to exclude it. There is no exclusion when it comes to your attention; rather you can just as easily choose to give your attention to other things. Another way to explain this is to imagine yourself watching a movie on your TV that depicts something that you would rather not experience in your real life. You could keep watching and try to say “this won’t happen to me, this won’t happen to me” or you can simply change the channel, shifting your focus, and give your full attention to something you want to allow into your experience. Trying to exclude anything invites it in. This is also true with people and political issues. If you try to stop someone from doing something, you include them into your experience and you actually give vibrational energy to the thing you are trying to stop. Trying to defeat your rival political party gives energy to their cause, but working to improve the stance of your own party strengthens your cause and your party by giving that energy to the vision of what you want to improve. The wars on drugs, terror, poverty, etc. help perpetuate these realities by focusing energy and attention of the problem instead of the solutions. You life is the same way.
You might ask, “but don’t we need to help make the world a better place by focusing on the problems of poverty, war, terror, and the like?” The answer is that you always get to choose what you give your attention to, and whatever you give your attention to becomes and equals your Point of Attraction. The Law of Attraction responds to the vibration of your Point of Attraction and lines you up with more experiences in your reality that match it. In other words, you can’t change the world, but you can change your world. The only reason that anything exists, including the world’s problems, is because one or many people have included those vibrations into their personal experiences through their thoughts, feelings, and actions. You can tune into those vibrations, or you can choose other vibrations…it’s all up to you. If your world shifts to include love, allowing, freedom, joy, fun, support, giving, prosperity, wellness, charity, gratitude, appreciation, and optimism, then you have truly made a difference in your world. You can’t think, feel, or act for anyone else, so you have a responsibility to pay attention to your world as it is created by you. If you decide to become a part of some problem, just know that you are expending the problem to include you and your world. But if you are connected to Source Energy, and if you are in The Vortex, you will be solution-oriented and you will be able to help your causes from a place of allowing instead of resisting. Just don’t try to stop anything, but instead focus on things that feel better. Unplug from experiences and observations that you don’t want to increase in your world. Take action from your place of connection and while feeling the power of Source, and your action will expand your love joy, and may even inspire other people as well. Changing your world to a better place DOES change the world. It improves the part that you are in charge of, and it makes the whole better too…one piece at a time. Enjoy this most amazing day!

I think it’s human nature to look into the world and hope to see great things everywhere. Hope feels good. It certainly IS great to be in beautiful settings of nature, or with friends you adore. But when you can’t find connection by observing your surroundings, it is your job to look inward and find the connection you want and deserve. The Law of Attraction is always responding to your thoughts, feelings, and actions, and you have ultimate control over these aspects of your expressions. You can imagine the beautiful scenes, and picture the people you love and appreciate. The Universe can’t tell the difference between what you think about and what you observe. So if you want to change your experience, instead of waiting for circumstances to change, simply change your focus and your thoughts, and let the change come to you. Take time to be quiet and still, and turn your thoughts to things that feel good while you think them. Be steadfast to the thoughts you enjoy thinking when you think them. Expand your imagination to include thoughts and images that transcend your present “reality” so that you can “see” yourself doing the things you want to do, driving the car you want to own, or kissing the mate you want to attract. Being connected to Source Energy is an inside job, and it’s the most important job you have; all good things will flow to you when you are connected to your Source. So if you find yourself observing someone or something that makes you disconnect from your inner being, stop, redirect, and remember that you have the ability to turn it around. In fact, you are the ONLY one who can turn it around for YOU. Your joy and connection are always available for you to access, but you just have to give your attention to things that feel good to you. See if you can do this just a little more today, and get ready to see the positive results appearing in your experience. Life in the Vortex is oh so much fun! Be Well, Chris-GP

April 15, 2010
When you were a child you knew your worth and value in a way that you may have forgotten to some degree at this point in your life. You didn’t doubt that you were supposed to be YOUR center of YOUR Universe, and you lived in a way that relaxed yourself into who you are, possibly more deeply than you do as an adult. I think somewhere along the way, as we grow and have more experiences, we lose a sense of that wonder and security that we were born with on this planet. I also think that at some point, some possibly well-meaning people helped us forget all of this. They encouraged us to be less childish, and to think of putting others first. They told us not to be so self-centered. They taught us that we should give more than we get, share our toys, and to be nice to our mothers. I agree that these things are part of life’s greater lessons (especially being nice to your mother!) But I also think that somewhere along the way, we sacrificed the quality of being “childlike” on the alter of trying not to be “childish.” Somehow, most of us learned to be adults by turning away from being childlike while trying to be less childish. Childishness is something that we do (and should) outgrow. It is not necessary to cry when we are hungry, or to hold on to our toys so no one can play with them. But we do not need to lose our childlike qualities, which I will define next.
To be childlike is to have wonder for the moment. It means that you love right now, and you are amazed by everything you see. You have a sense of the perfection of what you are observing. You are open to any possibility. You feel at one with the present. Being childlike means loving yourself. It means having a firm knowing that you came from greatness, and that you embody greatness. Being childlike means knowing you are an extension of Source Energy, and that you are a particular piece of unique expression in your body. Childlike people are not closed to others, but are open channels of love and light. They have a curious nature, and they are centered in who they are. They are secure in their expression, and they are willing to let themselves follow a path of joy. To a person who is childlike, anything is possible. They know that all they have to do is follow a desire, and the Universe will help that desire come true. Disney has made a fortune reminding us of this quality in ourselves…though as adults, we may look back on these qualities and think that it is all fantasy, or that it is actually childish to believe in such things anymore. But what you know deep down is that dreams can, and do, come true.
Law of Attraction is the law that holds that like attracts like. Every vibration in the Universe is attracting other similar vibrations unto it, and like gravity, energies converge in a cosmic dance of perfection. What you think, feel, and do is transmitted to the farthest reaches of creation, and your signal is responded to by others signals like it. You sense this by sensing your own energy and thinking; if you think a thought for about 17 seconds, another similar thought will appear to join it. Keep thinking in the same way, and more and more thoughts will arrive; before too long, the essence of the thinking, and the incredible energy behind the thoughts, will be experienced as an event in your present. So if you want to manifest something, you have to hold the thought of it actually happening, like you did in your childlike early life. You have to believe that your dreams are possible, and that you deserve to be special, loved, and complete. When you let yourself relax into believing with the innocence of your inner child, anything IS possible for you. Law of Attraction makes this so.
Let yourself be less childish, yet more childlike, today. Find something really cool to observe and just say “Wow!” Be in love with your life’s expression a little more. Appreciate your unique place in this time and space. Remember that you can do, be, or have anything you desire. Give a grateful thought to the miracle that made you exist right now. Be in your joy. You are here to love and be loved…to create, and to teach. Let yourself relax into your childlike nature, and see how your life becomes more fun, loving, and blissful. Enjoy this most amazing day!

I have been searching for a solution to make the comments function work on Gratitude Planet again. For some reason there has been some sort of internal error in the software. I have been working on it for much longer than I had hoped to, and so far I haven’t found a way to make it work correctly again. I am going to keep troubleshooting until it works, but it makes me feel more than a little cranky. Yet, in my crankiness it occurs to me that in my strong, strong desire for a working website I have created an even better website…not in this moment, but in the realm of vibration. Today things are kinda screwed up, and I am pulling my hair out in my disappointment. BUT, I am creating through this experience, and the Law of Attraction will bring me the new and improved website once I get over my mood and focus more on the solution. Once I get feeling better about it, and once I allow the solution in by feeling better about it all, I will experience the manifestation of the improved condition. This is always how it works on any topic.
When you can’t have something that you think you should be able to have, it makes you want it even more. In that wanting you send out a strong signal, and Source Energy hears your transmission every time. Once Source gets a hold of your message of “I want this new condition because I hate this present condition” it literally creates and becomes the newest and best version of the condition you want. At this point what you want starts calling you toward it through events, inspirations, and clues embedded in your daily life. Your job at this point is to align with the vibration of the new condition and turn from the contrast that created it in the first place. You have to leave behind the circumstances of the birth of the desire to embrace your present experience of the desire. If you want it, you have to be one with the solution, and not keep living the problem over and over again.
If you have some contrast you are experiencing today, just say “yea…I really know what I don’t want here, and now I know that the solution has been created too.” Take a deep breath and be easy about it. It will all work out, and by being easy about it you will make the solution rush to you faster. In my case, I know the comments function will be back soon, and when it is there will be some more cool things to allow into the Gratitude Planet experience as well. The solution has been created, and I can’t wait to see how it manifests. Writing this post has moved me up the Vibrational Scale a little, and I feel better. I hope it has helped you as well feel just a little bit better. We’re all in this together. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

Hello Everyone! Today’s post comes from one of our more active members of the Gratitude Planet Community, “Lee” who’s user name is “Lightgiver.” His biographical information is: I’m a classically trained pianist, organist, flutist and singer who is relatively new to the Law of Attraction. A very good friend and his wife introduced me to LOA, but I’ve seen it in action many, many times during my lifetime. I enjoy going to dinner, movies, concerts and shows, walks on or by the beach, good conversation and humor. Most days, you’ll find me either practicing something, or loving on my cat. Thanks Lee for this wonderful rampage of gratitude. It spreads your light to the very ends of cyberspace! Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP
Gratitude Rampage!
Today I’m going on a gratitude awareness rampage. There are so many things to be grateful for, and I just can’t keep it all bottled up inside me for another second. So, here’s my list of 10 things that I am grateful for:
- It’s Spring!
- We live on one of the most beautiful planets in the Universe.
- We are so connected to each other on so many different levels.
- Love is in our own backyard.
- We have more to eat than we could ever think of.
- We have bodies that can taste, touch, smell, hear and see everything that we want.
- We all have talents.
- We have friends who love and support us, and we can love and support them in return.
- We have the ability and freedom to choose that which is best for ourselves.
- We all found Gratitude Planet.
Now, here’s a challenge. I know that there are others here in the Gratitude Planet comminuty that have other things that they can add to this list, or who can post a list of their own. Won’t you share what you are grateful for with the rest of the people here on Gratitude Planet? I know I’d like to know what others are grateful for. : ) Thanks so much! Lee

April 10, 2010
I am sitting here tonight, typing and looking at the beautiful Pacific Ocean while playing some of my favorite music on the Bose Dock. I love taking some time to just BE, and on this particular Saturday evening things on this small part of the Planet seem to be in their perfect order. One of the songs that I just heard on my iPod was “Big Bad World” by the band “Plain White T’s.” This song has inspired my post tonight.
Sometimes when you have been doing your best to move ahead, it seems like you can’t. You may find yourself in endless contrast, or in patterns that seem to give you the same unwanted results over and over again. This is part of being human on Planet Earth, and we all will experience contrasting events that help us hone our desires. Remember that when you know what you don’t want, you know better than ever what you DO want. This is the gift of contrast…it helps you focus with greater and greater clarity. It is how we launch new ideas, desires, and experiences. And once you can consciously harness the Law of Attraction and start noticing how you feel more often, you will recognize more and more how contrast helps you clarify your desires.
Life is eternal. You never “finish” doing anything, because to be done is to find an end…and there is no “end.” Of course, there will certainly be moments when you feel complete, and when your desires feel fulfilled, at least for a time. But you can count on the fact that as soon as you reach “the end” of anything, a new beginning will emerge, and you will continue your quest toward the end. But you will never arrive, not ever. So striving to finish can sometimes keep you from living NOW, in this moment. And this is the wonderful gift of the present moment…everything you want and need is available right now, as long as you can tune into it and let it in right now.
So how does the song “Big Bad World” relate to this post? Read some of the lyrics and see if you can make the connection:
Big Bad World (Plain White T’s):
It’s a big bad world
Were doing what we can
Sometimes we fall on our face
Before we even learn to stand
But we get back up
Shake off all the dust
And take it step by step
I can fill the whole floor to the ceiling
With all the dead wrong choices I’ve made
And even though we try to learn
From each others mistakes
We’ll do it again (doing it again)
We’ll do it again my friend (doing it again)
We’ll do it again and again
Till we eventually can change
The way it’s always been
It’s a big bad dream
Following your heart
Sometimes the one you
Need’s the one that tears you apart
So you say goodbye
Kiss her one more time
And cry the whole way home
I can fill up the driest river
With all the tears falling off of my face
And even though we try to learn
From each others mistakes
We’ll do it again (doing it again)
We’ll do it again my friend (doing it again)
We’ll do it again and again
Till we eventually can change
The way its always been [x2]
Just running ’round in circles
Tripping over every hurdle
Were just trying to do the best that we can
It’s a big bad life
All that we can do
Is try to make it right
Tomorrow something new
So if a big rain cloud
Follows you around
Don’t let it get you down
We’ll do it again (doing it again)
We’ll do it again my friend (doing it again)
We’ll do it again and again
Till we eventually can change
The way its always been.
The song is really well written, and has a nice rock edge to it. You probably can see the connection here, I am sure. We do the best we can, but we will always experience some contrast. We will feel like we are not expanding sometimes, but we will do our best to live, feel better, and to move ahead. We may make the same mistakes over and over, but eventually we will experience change…and in so doing we change the way it has always been. The message I hear is this: relax and be easy about your experience. You may not advance as fast as you think you should, but it’s OK. We all are working our way through our life experience at our own pace, and what you experience is the perfect unfolding for YOU. Let your life be a fun and interesting mix of love and contrast, joy and focus, fun and clarification. It’s a Big World, and there is so much to experience. Love it for what it is, and let yourself embrace your life in all of its fullness and variety. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

Movies like “The Secret” made the phrase “Attitude of Gratitude” a common quote in blogs and conversations about the Law of Attraction. So what is the intent behind this “attitude of gratitude?” If you have been reading the posts on this site, you know that we encourage gratitude thinking, and we especially promote moving into the feeling of appreciation as well. Gratitude and appreciation are vibrations that feel good, and feeling good brings you into alignment with Source Energy. Gratitude puts you in a place to find thoughts that expand your current vibration, and reviewing a mental list of the gifts in your life, on a daily basis, strengthens the power of these good-feeling vibrations. Having an “attitude” may simply mean that you don’t try to practice being grateful, but rather you build up habit strength around the practice. Attitudes seem to come and go without our work at maintaining them, but in reality, an attitude is just a thought you keep thinking over time. So if you want to feel good…and we expect that you want to…then put your attention on the gifts you already have manifested into your life, and then milk them for every positive thought they contain. Enjoy and appreciate the things you have. Be optimistic about the things you want that are still on the way. Be full of connection and love, reaching as far as you can to expand your vibration to the best-feeling thought you have access to. Know that most everything that needs to be done is already being done by the Universe, and that your job is to relax and allow your well-being to flow to you in an endless stream of prosperity and connection. Be Well, Chris-GP

This morning I want to share a few brief words contributed by Gratitude Planet Community member ellieangel39. She sent this to me recently, and I would like to feature it today as a sort of “thought for the day” for you to read, ponder, and maybe even meditate upon. May you enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP
Whatever you are seeking
is also seeking you,
it’s in your thoughts
and in your mind
and in everything you do.
You are just like a magnet,
attracting what you think about.
And even more you are attracting
what you really feel about.
Become a deliberate creator,
think and feel for what you want,
giving no attention to
those things you do not want.
Choose your thoughts deliberately.
Choose your feelings this way too.
Then your wishes and your dreams
will find their way to you.

I have become pretty good at making the best of every experience I encounter. Some people call me an optimist, while some say I ignore reality. Either way, I don’t care because I love my life, and I refuse to let other people tell me what is real. When I walk down the street, I usually see beautiful flowers, nice people, and the perfection of every moment. Others may take the same walk and see garbage, rusty cars, and feel the disappointment of the world caving in on them. I choose to be connected to Source Energy, and I love being in the Vortex, where Law of Attraction brings me everything I have asked for and need right now. I love knowing that I get to choose what I give my attention to, and I love seeing the results of my focus. I choose to make the most of my experience by giving my undivided attention to things that make me feel good, while acting on my inspiration to get “real” things done. I don’t sit in my house waiting for someone to do things for me, nor do I believe that the Law of Attraction will take action for me. It just doesn’t work that way. Law of Attraction lines up people and events in your life that match your average thoughts, feelings, and actions over time. If you want something done, just see it already done in your mind’s eye, imagine yourself doing it effortlessly, and then…when the time comes to act..do it! If you are in the Vortex, you will complete the task easily and with fun and joy.
Making the most of your experience is your real job in this reality. We are here to hone our preferences, and we decide what we want by living experiences that we don’t want. That’s right! When you live an experience that you don’t want, you create a vibrational solution that is instantly available to you. But you can’t allow the new solution while you are living the crappy experience that caused it to be created in the first place. That’s why some people continue to live in the world of contrast when they could simply decide to make the best of it and allow in the new, much better-feeling experience. Crap happens, but not continuously and forever. Decide to make the best of every experience, and let yourself turn from contrast to feeling better and more connected whenever you can. I do it all day…except in brief moments of creating a new and better experience through contrast. You can too. Here are a few tips to do this easier:
- When you feel contrast, just try to make the best of it. Say things like “It could have been worse,” or “there is a time for everything, including this experience. It will get better soon.”
- If you are very disconnected…angry, frustrated, or fearful…just reach for the best thought you can find, even if it doesn’t feel good. Let feeling better be your goal. Keep reaching!
- When you observe something that makes you feel bad, turn away as soon as you can and give your attention to something that feels better. This might mean not watching TV, reading the paper, or listening to the news very often.
You are in control of every aspect of your life. There is no force that can line you up with things that don’t match your vibration. You get to choose. Make the best choices you can, and reap the benefits of loving your life more and more and more. Be.Love, Hannya-GP

Life is certainly filled with moments where you are confronted with choices. How you perceive and live those choices determines how your life unfolds for you. Some people, however, worry that they won’t make great choices when the time comes, or that the Universe will stop sending opportunities for great things to happen. This point of view can create tremendous pressure to make the right choices in every moment so that you don’t miss your last opportunity for something. It relies on the belief that there is a finite number of things you get to have, and that if you “miss the boat” your ship will sail away without you. It makes your present into a high-stakes, win-or-lose proposition. But you know, the Law of Attraction is responsible for lining you up with things that match your average vibration over time, and that it is a consistent, ever-functioning and ever-present law. It never stops working for you because you never stop vibrating a signal from where ever you are. This is really great news, because it means that you are never stuck in a place that can’t change…you can always change your thoughts and in doing so, change your reality. There will always be a boat at your dock when you come down to the pier. Your thoughts, feelings, and actions determine your point of attraction, so all you need to do is pay attention to how you feel, and then reach for the best thoughts you can find on any subject. With a little lag time, your manifested life will mirror your inner reality of thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Here’s an example to put this into perspective. Let’s say you are going on a blind date because you have been working to allow a new relationship into your experience. You go meet a person and you feel that there are things you like, but there are also things about the interaction that you are not as excited about. You could possibly get into a feeling of “this has to work…this may be my last chance for this kind of happiness.” You may start feeling the pressure I referred to earlier to “make it work” despite your guidance system telling you that you feel mixed about it. You may feel that you could miss the boat, and that there might not be another boat behind it. But there is always another boat. And another boat. And more behind those too. The Universe will keep sending you experiences that match your vibration, and when you are connected to Source Energy and feeling good in the Vortex, you will like the boats that come your way more and more. When you know that the boats never end, and that the boats (opportunities to choose) will be more and more to your liking as you get good at feeling better, you can feel good about passing up a few while you wait for one to come that feels 100% right. In fact, you can use Law of Attraction to your advantage in any moment by affirming that your favorite boat is at the dock, and that your desire is to get on board. You can enjoy the feeling of knowing you have perfect timing, and that your life has the unlimited potential to thrill you. When you feel like you missed an opportunity, whether it be a new job, a relationship, or whatever, just say “there is always another boat,” and expect it to appear. Try this today, and see if it brings you a sense of relief about your choices and opportunities. You never get it all done in this life…it just keeps unfolding…so enjoy your walk to the dock. What you seek is waiting for you, and there is nothing you can do to miss the boat. Enjoy this most Amazing Day! Chris-GP

The rules of the Law of Attraction are quite easy to understand, but are perhaps more difficult to practice deliberately. Simply stated, you attract to you the things that match your vibration. Your life, then, unfolds perfectly based on what the Universe “hears” you asking for. You never stop asking, however. You ask with every thought, with every thing you observe, and with every interaction you have with everything. We are all perpetual askers. Another way to say this is that you ask for what you want by focusing on it, and you ask for what you don’t want by focusing on it. Both (wanted and unwanted) are drawn into your experience by your attention to them. It makes sense, then, to give your full attention to the things you want so that you can manifest the wanted things into your experience.
If you have been playing with these ideas, but are a little frustrated that things are not happening more quickly for you, you may be taking score too soon. Once you have asked for something, usually by living some contrast that clarifies what you do want…you need to change your focus slightly. If you keep thinking of yourself as someone who needs the new thing, you may be keeping yourself in a pattern where the Universe brings you more of the same. Universal Forces line you up with things that match the essence of where you are…but the Law of Attraction doesn’t care if you are experiencing something, or just living it in your imagination: it matches you up with more of where you think you are vibrationally. For example, if you ask for money because you don’t have much, the Universe “hears” you and lines you up with more money. But the vibration you need to align with to manifest it fully is “I have more money” and not “hey, where’s my money!” It’s an amazing Catch 22 here…you can’t have it until you feel you already have it…but as long as you don’t have it, it’s tricky to feel like you have it.
Here is something I suggest to get you through the doubt stages of manifestation. Once you have identified something you are asking for, be it prosperity, a new relationship, a better job, or whatever, relax and affirm that your “work” is completed. Visualize the essence of this thing in your mind, and see it already coming to you in full form and completion. Feel the complete thrill of having it already. See yourself enjoying it in as many ways as you can imagine. See yourself telling others how much fun you are having with the thing in your experience. Picture it, but more importantly feel and love the essence of it right now.
Once you have done this visualization (and do it as often as you can), start looking right away for evidence of it coming to you, and be grateful and appreciative for every sign you see. If you are looking for more money, pick up that penny in the street and tell yourself “see, I am prosperous and the Universe brings me unexpected income. This is just the tip of the ice burg for me.” Resist the temptation to say something like “just a penny? Universe, I never have enough. You didn’t HEAR me, did you?” If you look for the small clues, and affirm that they are attached to bigger and bigger clues that eventually usher in the full manifestation, you will rejoice in the smaller evidence as if it were the whole experience coming into your full awareness. The clues ARE there. Your wellbeing is assured. Let go, look for evidence of it, and appreciate the magic of the Law of Attraction. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

April 1, 2010
Today I took a very brisk run and started my day off with a healthy dose of exercise. Sometimes it can be hard to get myself out there in my running clothes, but today I did it with very little resistance from my own thinking. (I like when that happens!) And today I had a minor revelation about why exercise is particularly healthy. Sure, your blood pumps, and your heart strengthens, oxygen increases in your lungs, and your muscles are used and stretched…but what happens in your head…how does Law of Attraction work and what other benefits come from exercise? We know that some people benefit in similar ways from quite different amounts of exercise, and studies have shown similar benefits from either walking or running for the same amount of time. So why run when you can walk, right? I just like running, for one thing, and I think there is another big element at play here as well. That element is your presence.
When I start exercising, my mind is awash in all the details of my cluttered mind such as work, the house, the clothes to do, supper to make, bills to pay, or whatever. But as soon as my body begins to to tire and I start breathing harder, and as soon as the way my body feels gets 100% of my attention, I feel an immediate and positive shift. I suddenly come to focus in the moment, and there is nothing on my mind except what I am doing: running. I feel my breath, I feel my feet, I feel the air going by, and all the clutter in my mind goes away completely. I shift from living in the past and future to living only in the present moment, and in doing so, I enter the Vortex. Being in the Vortex makes everything seem easier. I get my runner’s stride, and I relax and let the rhythm of the running take me. I stop working on anything. I enter a world of just being.
Exercise is something you can do so that you can do nothing. Interesting, isn’t it? But I am confident that it is the presence and point of NOW that makes it all so powerful. Being in the moment is what makes your vibration raise, and when your vibration raises, all good things begin to flow to you through the Law of Attraction. When you exercise, you are forced to be present as your body demands your attention. So don’t think of exercise as something you have to do to be healthy, but rather as something you get to do to do nothing. Sounds a lot easier, doesn’t it? Try your favorite kind of exercise with this intention, and see if you feel better. Exercise creates a presence of mind, and the presence creates a flow of Source Energy and wellness. Do nothing today, and be well! Marie-GP

We have all heard the saying “what goes around comes around” haven’t we? But let me pose this question to you, whenever you hear someone say this or when have heard these words fall from your own lips, what are the thoughts normally occuring in your mind? Do you say these words in response to someone treating you harshly or unfairly? Are you saying these words in response to someone who has done something that angers you? Someone who has hurt you?
