I think it’s a human trait to wish everyone would be like we are. If you like a certain TV show, you might wish down deep on some level that everyone would also like it as much as you do. When you figure out how to be connected to Source Energy more often, you want to share these insights with others. Especially when you come to a conclusion through a learning situation, you are likely to want everyone to benefit from your new and improved perspective. But when we want for others, we miss the point that everyone can only want from their own unique perspective. Unless you walk in someone’s shoes and feel the Emotional Guidance System that they have in place, you can never know why they choose their experience the way that they do. All you can really know is how YOU would choose from your unique perspective, and most of the time your choice and their choice will not be the same…and this is OK.
Experiences on this Earth are varied and diverse. You are but one piece of an ever-expanding dance of awareness, and everything you do to allow your own wellbeing benefits the whole. But if you look at others and condemn them for the choices they are making, you diminish your own wellbeing by needing to change others. You can think of the Universe as kind of a cosmic soup with many trillions of ingredients. The soup is managed by the forces of the Universe, including the Law of Attraction. Your experience adds to the flavor of the soup, but you are not all of the soup. You wouldn’t want a soup to be only parsley, and you wouldn’t want but one perspective in the Universe either. So the ingredients need to interact, merge, and add flavor to the whole without competing with each other or diminishing the contributions to the whole.
No one needs to be, think, or act like you do for the Universe to be in its perfect order. If you see someone making a choice today that you know YOU wouldn’t make, bless it, be grateful, and move on with your own choices. Remember that focusing on someone’s choices makes them into your choices, given the time and attention to them. If you want peace, for example, don’t push against people who make war, but rather think peaceful thoughts, and look for peace-loving people to enter your experience. Your experience will be more fulfilling, fun, satisfying, and connected if you accept and appreciate the diversity of thoughts and beliefs on the planet. Be YOU today, be happy, and let the rest of the world just be. Be in the Vortex! Take a deep breath, and enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

I love working with a law as consistent as the Law of Attraction because I can tell what I have been asking for vibrationally by paying attention to what life is bringing to me. In other words, what I think about, and what I get in reality, will always be a perfect match. The Law of Attraction is based on another law called the Law of Inclusion. This law states that what ever I give my attention to is instantly invited (through vibrational forces) into my experience. There is no such thing as “No” in this Universe, and pushing away or against something is to say “Yes” to it. If I have an experience with anything, I am inviting the vibrational essence of it into my reality and enticing it to manifest in my life. Your attention to anything equals your invitation to it into your life.
Yah, but…there are a whole lot of things in the world that I can’t avoid, but that I don’t necessarily want to invite into my experience. There are people doing lots of things that I don’t want to experience personally, and unless I keep my head under a rock, I am going to be aware of them some of the time. How can I live in this world and still be informed about it’s variety and contrast? The answer is that you always get to choose how your focus your mind and attention, and the key is to notice how you feel as you focus. There is no better indicator than your emotions to tell you what is and what is not appropriate your you. What others are focusing on and what they are getting is really none of your business, and your job is to focus your own thoughts to attract into your life all that you are wanting. Here is one example to help illustrate this point:
If you like scary movies, and they thrill you, then your emotions will tell you so as you get a lift and a hit from watching them. If, however, scary movies make you fearful and tense, then your emotions are telling you that you might not want to give this piece of “reality” your undivided attention for too long. Scary movies by themselves are neither good nor bad, but the thoughts, feelings, and emotions you experience as you interact with the movie matters very much. The Law of Inclusion makes no differentiation between wanted and unwanted vibrations, and it sort of assumes that if you give your focus to something, you must want more of it to manifest. So can watching scary moves and practicing a vibration of fear attract more fearful experiences? You bet! Can watching good-feeling programs expand your feelings of connection to Source, and hence bring more connected manifestations to you as well? Yes indeed! It’s always about what you choose to focus upon.
Today, just notice what you give your attention to a little more. If the radio is playing talk shows about people who are angry and dis-empowered, how long do you listen before you turn to something that feels better? How much do you talk to yourself about your problems rather than thinking about possible solutions? How much do you allow yourself to bask in gratitude and joy for the things you already have? Just notice and pay attention a little more. Then follow your intuition toward the best-feeling experiences available to you. The more you focus on feeling good, the more the Law of Attraction will match you with more good-feeling experiences. It becomes an upward spiral that will quickly create the life you want and deserve. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

There are days that everyone has when it’s hard to be grateful. Something has gone wrong, or people are getting in your business, or some problem has your attention to the point that you can’t feel a bit of bliss. In these times, refer to the following list of things to be grateful for. Each is an often-overlooked miracle happening on a daily basis:
1. Thank you for my re-emergence from sleep back into a waking state. (I’m still alive)
2. Thank you for the sun coming up again this morning.
3. Thank you for my lungs that keep me breathing all night without my attention.
4. Thank you for my heart that keeps blood flowing to my body at all times.
5. Thank you for the people in my life who love and support me.
6. Thank you for the space I call home, and for the safety and comfort it affords.
7. Thank you for the food I eat that keeps me healthy and strong.
9. Thank you for the plants and animals of this planet that help balance the environment.
10. Thank you for my mind, thoughts and emotions that help me know when I am connected to Source Energy and thriving in the Vortex!
We all can be grateful and appreciative for these (and so many other) gifts we see everyday. Take a few moments to expand this list so that you have even more reasons to feel just a little better. You can attract anything you desire to you through Law of Attraction, one grateful thought at a time. In Joy and Appreciation, Christina

There used to be a commercial for the company “Dunkin’ Donuts” where a guy would wake up at 3:00 A.M. and stumble around getting ready for work. All the while he looked half awake and repeated the phrase “It’s time to make the doughnuts.” It was his job to get up early, put everything into place, and make it easy for the customer to get a fresh, hot doughnut at 6:00 A.M. with their coffee. The commercial usually ended with the guy smiling at the customers and enjoying his work. It must have been an effective ad campaign because it ran for years…and I still remember it today. It makes me think about how we all have a job, but I’m not talking about the job you get paid for; I’m talking about the job we all have to notice how we are thinking, feeling, and what we are doing every day. It’s the job of harnessing the Law of Attraction to your advantage to allow your life to be more fulfilling, thrilling, and magical!
When people first learn (or remember) that thoughts create reality, they sometimes feel a burden to censor their thoughts, feelings, and actions. They become like the guy making the doughnuts and say, with a sarcastic and lethargic tone “it’s time to be happy. I have to stop thinking what I am thinking.” This IS a burden. It’s no fun to try to stop thinking and feeling a certain way, especially if you have been in a set pattern for a long time. It is much easier to take a deep breath and reach for the feeling of relief that comes through thinking a better thought. Hear the difference: stop a thought, or think another thought.
When you give your attention to anything, you become a match to it. Give enough attention to something over time, and the Law of Attraction will show you real-life manifested evidence of it in your own life. Giving your attention to stopping something also just makes you a match to it. So if you try to stop anyone from doing something, you add Universal energy to the system that sustains it, and you actually increase the “reality” of this unwanted thing in your world. Try to lose weight, and you will have a hard time; focus on your thin and healthy body, and you will attract the resources to make your thinness real. Law of Attraction is like the Law of Gravity in that it works fairly, consistently, and continuously. Law of Gravity doesn’t care what you drop, and it acts on every object of similar mass the same way. Law of Attraction doesn’t care what you focus on, and makes no value judgments either way. It’s only job is to bring you more of what you focus upon.
So what is YOUR job in all of this? It’s NOT to make the doughnuts. It’s not to feel a burden of needing to stop your thoughts. Your job is simply to notice how you feel. Your feelings will be a direct reflection of how your thoughts match your inner desires for a better and expanded life. (Read that again.) When you feel emotions like worry, blame, doubt, or fear, you are reacting to thoughts that you have been thinking recently. Turn your attention to the best thoughts you have access to. Notice how you feel. Do you feel better? Not good, just better? If so, keep shining the light of your attention in that direction. Feel better? Keep it up. Feel worse? Turn and refocus on another thought or topic. In time you will guide yourself toward thoughts that feel better without needing to stop your thoughts in any way. You will notice, too, that the thoughts you might have tried to stop have disappeared from your vibration completely. Your job, then, is to think and feel, and think and feel, and to reach for the thoughts that feel the best. That’s it! It’s time to do your job, but your job is easier than you think it is. 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 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

We all have troubles and challenges in our lives, and it is the contrast that assists us in creating new desires. Something that doesn’t go well for you automatically creates an improved condition vibrationally, and the new condition can then appear in your “real” life as soon as you allow it in. Life is really supposed to be more about allowing and less about contrast, but sometimes we simply get caught up in the “nitty-gritty details” of creating. Stopping contrast and challenge in our life is not possible or recommended, and one of the best ways to work with it is just to accept challenges when they come, and then to focus on the new perspective or solution that emerges through the experience. Another way to say this is to “go with the flow” and then use the power of optimism to make the best of it. By approaching life this way, you allow the Law of Attraction to assist you powerfully because you will spend a majority of your focus and energy looking at what you want, and not recreating and enhancing the contrasting conditions. Yet, some people seem to spend a majority of their time in the contrast…but this is not necessary. The beauty is that we are all completely free to choose how we direct our focus, and no one can be forced to experience something that they do not invite in vibrationally. What you live and experience is always a perfect match to the vibrational signal you have been offering over time. What you have right now is the perfect unfolding of your average thoughts, feelings, and actions over the recent past. How’s it going for you today?
Regardless of how happy you are with your results right now, know that the Universe is NOT balanced in terms of well being and “not well being.” In fact, it only includes well being. Instead of good and bad, there is only well being, and the resistance of well being, which is interpreted as it’s opposite. But the momentum of the Universe will always will, if you let it. Another way to say this this is that if you give up the struggle and just become still in this moment, well being will flow to you. There is no force that can take you over when you pause for a second. There is no stream of bad stuff that can carry you away when you aren’t paying attention. The Universe is set up to be stacked in your favor, and in the favor of bliss, joy, love, gratitude, appreciation, and connection to Source Energy. Life is supposed to be good, and you have a 100% chance of loving this life if you are willing to let the stream of well being carry you. Are you willing? I know you are, and I know that we all will enjoy this most amazing day today…even more than yesterday. Chris-GP

The phrase “Thank You Sir, May I Have Another?” is usually associated with a sarcastically humorous reference to fraternity hazing where a pledge gets a wooden paddle across his back side and is required to politely ask for another wack. Regardless of the negative connotations associated with this image, it is a good one for understanding the Law of Attraction and how it functions in your life. When you give your attention to something…or anything, for that matter, you include it in your vibration and add it to your point of attraction. Your point of attraction is what Law of Attraction matches and magnifies, so to give something your attention is to literally ask for more of it. Yes, that’s right, your simple attention to anything helps create more of it in your life, even if you don’t want more of it. But, you say, I know the difference between things I want and things I don’t want. Surely Source Energy is smart enough to know what I want. But here is the difference: Source is “smart enough” to give you anything you ask for, but it does not decide for you in terms of what you want. You are so free to choose that you can choose bondage, and Source will agree with you. There is no “overrule” law that asks you before you choose. You live, and in living you focus, and through your focus you choose, and in your choosing you are asking for more. So what you give your attention to really does matter.
Today, just notice what you are choosing to include in your vibration. The Gratitude Planet staff is always encouraged to ignore bad-feeling news stories when they post to the “Good News” section of GP, and we all get distracted into reading some stories that feel bad from time to time. But we notice when we are doing it, and then we choose differently as soon as we can. Just because something looks interesting doesn’t mean it feels good. Law of Attraction brings you more and more of what you give your attention to and include in your vibration over time, so remember to ask for things you want by focusing on the things you want exclusively when you can. In every waking moment, you are literally saying: “Please Law of Attraction, may I have another event like that one?” May you enjoy this most amazing and creative day! Chris-GP
Feel Better...Move Ahead!

Don’t you feel, at times, that no one listens to what you are saying? Aren’t there times when you wish that people would just do what you want them to do, no questions asked? Sure, it would be nice to have a staff of people on your payroll who would make it their business to keep YOUR business in line…but people aren’t on planet Earth for your selfish desires. Everyone is searching to find their own joy and fulfillment, and so are you. We all have our own personal journey and dreams of adventure. So who can you count on to help you with your own private agenda? Why, Source Energy and Law of Attraction, of course!
Source Energy is always thinking about you in positive ways. Source is vibrating from a different vantage point than you are, and from the perspective of Source, all is well in your world. You are loved by Source, and your life, choices, growth, and expansion are all valued by your greater awareness that is nested in Source Energy. You are never wrong in the eyes of your greater consciousness, and your life is seen as a perfect unfolding of events and experiences that bring your thought beyond that which it has been before. You are a spiritual being having a human experience, and your spirit is much greater than the present awareness you have of YOU. You are the leading edge of a greater YOU that knows that life is supposed to be fun, and that the purpose of life is joy. This greater YOU is always on your side, and knows you better than anyone ever could know you. It’s fun to know that we have this personal connection to our broader perspective, and it’s exhilarating to feel the connection to our inner being through this connection to Source Energy. When we think like our inner being, connected to Source, we feel great because there is no discord between our human opinions and the opinions of our broader perspective. When we disagree with the consistently positive and connected opinions of our Source, we feel bad because of the discord of vibrations created by the pure, positive nature of Source, and the occasionally disconnected, self-degrading thoughts we entertain from time to time. In short, the more we think like Source, the better we feel, and the happier we are. You would do well to agree as often as you can with the opinions of Source Energy.
Law of Attraction, on the other hand, always agrees with YOU! What ever you decide, Law of Attraction works tirelessly to agree, hear your vibrational wish, and bring you more things, people, and events that match the essence of your wish. The Law of Attraction never asks “why do you want that?” It never questions your desires, opinions, or asking. It is like the story of the Genie in the Bottle who, after being released from the bottle, grants the wishes of the person who rubbed the bottle. The Genie didn’t question the wishes, but rather exclaimed “Your wish is my command!” This is great news, you might be thinking…and it is…as soon as you understand what it means “to ask.”
We ask Law of Attraction to line us up with things every time we direct our focus on something. The Law of Inclusion dictates that if we perceive something, we are asking for more of it. If you read stories about, say, car accidents, then you are including “car accidents” in your vibration and perception, and the Law of Attraction says “your wish is my command…I will bring you more interactions, events and experiences that match ‘car accidents.’” Whoa, you say, I never said I wanted car accidents. It doesn’t matter. If you include it in your experience and focus over time, you are asking for more. So it is very important to be picky about what you include in your awareness and vibration. A good rule of thumb is, if you want more of something, keep paying attention to it.
I appreciate the consistency of Source Energy requiring my agreement, and Law of Attraction always agreeing with me, even when I ask for things I really don’t want. It also grants me my wishes when I focus on things that I truly want more of as well. The more I think like Source, the more I can allow Source Energy to flow into my life. The more choosy I become with what I feed my vibration, the more I can enjoy the joy of life, and the expansion of my awareness. Your wishes CAN, and DO come true every day. Let your life be a powerful example of asking Law of Attraction for the things that thrill you and expand your joy. Your wish is my command…so take command today. Enjoy this most amazing day!

February 7, 2010
One of the confusing things about Law of Attraction for some people is determining how to make a firm connection between their thoughts and the manifestations attracted by those thoughts. You will remember that what you think, on average and over time, determines your point of attraction. Your point of attraction is the set point that the Universe uses to line you up with events and circumstances. Some people believe that Law of Attraction works like this, because this is their experience: “I want a car. I will think about a car. Now I will get a car. Where the heck is my car? This stuff doesn’t work!” They come to believe that if LoA was really at work behind the scenes, as they have been told it is, then everyone would have everything they want instantly. It is logical, in light of that argument, that LoA is not real, and that what you think doesn’t matter much at all. Yet there have been many, many books over the years that tout the benefits of positive thinking in all areas of living. Positive thinking and optimism have been purported to have positive correlations to expanded health, wealth, wellness, and prosperity. And many of these books and papers don’t discuss or even address a Universal force that lines up events and circumstances. There appears to be a connection to what we think and the results we get in our lives, regardless of the reasons and causes behind the phenomenon. This alone should provide inspiration for a person to examine the contents of their own mind and pay attention to the thoughts they offer on average and over time. Thinking about a car may (or may not) help you get the car. So how do you know if you are attracting the car? One very powerful way to know if the car is on the way is to pay attention to how you feel when you think about the car.
How you feel when you think a thought tells you everything you need to know about your point of attraction surrounding that thought. Here’s why this gets so confused. When you want something, you want it because you feel a lack of it in your “real” experience. In the case of the car, you probably really want the car because you really need the car. You want the car because the car you have is giving you troubles. You might want the car because you are tried of asking for rides, or tired of walking to get around. We ask for things because of a “bad” or contrasting experience that clarifies what we want to change. So if you start thinking about a new car, you will most certainly think about it, at least at first, in light of your present circumstances…a disconnected feeling about what is. Thinking about a new car, but feeling sad or disconnected about your present car (or lack of a car) creates a point of attraction equal to the present car. The Universe, through Law of Attraction, does work…but it matches you up with your present car over and over again. While you think you are asking for something else, your vibrational offering is stuck on wanting the car because you hate what you have, and thus you are attracting to you more of the same.
You can try NOT to think about your present car, but trying not to do something really just equals thinking about it. The Law of Inclusion makes it impossible to exclude a thought, because you can’t NOT think something…attempting to do so causes you to think about it. So instead, turn to thoughts that feel good while you think them. This takes some practice, but if you pay attention to how you feel when you think a thought, you will know if you are allowing the car or not allowing the new car. If you say to yourself, “my car will be so good to drive, and it will be dependable,” only YOU know how this feels. If it feels great to say these words, say them often and look for more words that feel even better. If however, these words imply “because the piece of crap car I am in right now is undependable, and I hate it,” then you are not heading in a vibrational direction that will change circumstances and events to bring the new car into your experience. Here’s the key to all of this: you don’t really need to think about a car at all! If your experience of contrast has clarified a desire for the new car, then it is available to you as soon as you get out of your own way. If you can find connection and feelings that feel like optimism, expectation, happiness, gratitude, or appreciation on random topics in your average daily experience, then you will manifest the new car in short order. Your feelings tell you everything you need to know. Start looking for reasons to feel good today, and look to all the things you are grateful for too. Be appreciative for little miracles that flood your reality every second. You will discover that it’s not difficult to prove that Law of Attraction is real after all, and your friends, family and colleagues will see you thriving. They may ask you what your secret for success is, and you only need to say “It’s no secret. I just care about how I feel. You can do this too.” Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP
Feel Better...Move Ahead!

Sometimes I wonder if being a celebrity is really as much fun as it seems to be. Living a life in the spotlight must have some exciting moments, and I am sure that high-profile people have a sharp sense of the leading edge of thought, for better or for worse. The joy and contrast that famous people encounter, however, is probably not exceedingly different than anyone else’s experience. We have seen a new wave of celebrity scandals lately, from former Presidential candidate John Edwards to golf legend Tiger Woods (as well as many others). No one is perfect, and no one ever will be. Each person has their own challenges and desires, and it can’t be easy to have millions of people watching you at all times, ready to blame you for your imperfect journey on planet Earth. I rarely give these stories my attention because I am not interested in including them in my vibration, and hence, into my experience. But there are two stories I will mention briefly today to make a point…that there is never a mistake concerning the Law of Attraction because what you get is always a match to your vibrational offering…always, with no exceptions.
I was reading another Law of Attraction blog (’cause I always like to read about and meet new people who are deliberate creators), and I read that Dr. Wayne Dyer had been diagnosed with some sort of cancer. My thoughts became confused for a moment, and then I asked “but how could someone like Wayne Dyer, who seems to have his act together so well, attract cancer? What went wrong?” The answer is, of course, that nothing “went wrong.” Knowing about Law of Attraction doesn’t make someone live in a thought bubble and immune to their own habits of thought. You are a spiritual being having a human experience on this planet, so you will have experiences now and again that feel like contrast. It’s part of the deal. That doesn’t mean that you can’t help others with insights that you have gained through your studies and experiences, and your imperfection shouldn’t stop you from adding as much value as you can to this world. The quote I read that was ascribed to Wayne felt very connected, and he seemed to be in a very allowing frame of mind about his diagnosis. This made me think about how we can’t stop contrast from coming into our lives (nor would we want to do this), but that we have ultimate power to decide how we focus our energy after the manifestation. A contrasting experience always opens up a strong desire for something better, and embracing the new desire is our number one job. That is what I felt from reading Wayne Dyer’s words about his condition. He is turning toward wellness with a new and energized focus. Because the manifestation was not an accident, but rather a culmination of energy flow (or energy blockage), he has a gift-like opportunity to examine how it all came to be. Turning to wellness will help him allow even more wellness. It works this way for everyone, famous or only locally famous.
So what if you are a deliberate creator and you create what can only be described as a total CRAP storm? In this reference I am talking about author and entrepreneur James Arthur Ray. You may remember James as one of the featured speakers in the movie “The Secret.” James did very well creating his own brand name associated with the Law of Attraction, and still has a loyal following who can separate the messenger from the message. He now also has some fierce detractors. He has been arrested for negligent homicide for a tragic incident that left three people dead during one of his retreats. This has caused quite a buzz in the LOA blogosphere, because he is a very visible person who has appeared on programs like Oprah in the name of Law of Attraction. It seems easier to blame James for his woes because he is a motivational speaker, and he makes a living calling others out on their blind spots and weaknesses. It seems like he should have seen this coming, and should have adjusted his thinking accordingly. But he, too, is only human and lives by the same Universal laws we all live with. He obviously didn’t predict the outcome here, and I believe there was no intent to kill anyone. But still, he attracted a XXXL-sized dose of contrast, and it is up to him to find the meaning behind the experience, and adjust accordingly. The Southern California staff from Gratitude Planet went together to see James speak this past fall, and we all had a funny feeling intuitively that we all shared after the seminar over drinks. We all felt an unease about his vibration, as if he was working really, really hard (too hard) to sell us his products. The word “allowing” didn’t make a whole lot of sense compared to the energy we felt that night from the stage. After the talk, he disappeared from the room without chatting with anyone, shaking hands, or answering questions. We were very confused…we wanted to believe he was perfect and living his message. I fully believe in his message, even if the messenger is struggling to hold it all together. When I heard that he attracted the mess he did, I can’t say I was surprised. We felt he was carrying and practicing a vibration that kept him from feeling free…and one that kept us from feeling his free and true self…and now he has manifested another challenge to his freedom, that of potential incarceration.
Interestingly, I read that Wayne Dyer is often the last person standing in a room where he gives a talk. He chats, listens, and gives freely of his time and energy for the people who are interested in his message. These two men, James and Wayne, have had two literally contrasting experiences…and each will continue to attract based on their most practiced vibration. Again, you can’t avoid things going “wrong” for you, but you CAN do your best to live your highest version of YOU. Be grateful, give freely, relax, and let your life be joyful as much as possible. Be appreciative for the famous people who help us learn about ourselves in public, so that we can be our imperfect selves in private. Send love to others, even when they fall short of your expectations. Let people chose what they will, and choose for yourself as well as you can. There is a perfect unfolding in the Universe, and we have an opportunity to align with it if we choose to…not for the sake of perfection, but for the sake of JOY! There are no mistakes. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

We are getting ready to launch a couple new pages here at Gratitude Planet: A Story Zone, and a Virtual Reality Zone. The Story Zone will be a place for you to share stories of your success using the Law of Attraction. You will be able to inspire others through the life you have created. In the Virtual Reality Zone, you will get to tell stories that aren’t true…yet. We’ll tell you even more about these when they are ready, but in this post I want to say a few things about “stories.” People love stories. Stories are how we put perspective into the experiences we all have on planet Earth. Telling stories is a technique for teaching others, and we all while away countless hours enjoying stories told to us through books, Blogs, spoken word, movies and television. Everybody loves a good story, and most people love a happy ending to their story.
What is YOUR story? How would you narrate the plot of your life so far? It seems like our individual story is set in stone up to this point: what has happened is done, and what hasn’t happened is unknown. Yet, past and future are but illusions that are always viewed from the present. (Wrap your mind around THAT one!) So how we view and describe past and future through our stories can be perceived as a fluid, changing thing. In essence, we are not ever limited by our past and future unless we choose to be. Isn’t it freeing to know that you are limitless, unbounded, and open to all that is good, right now? But the stories you tell about your life do have the potential to limit, bind, and close you off as well. Here’s why…
Source Energy always agrees with you…always, always, always. When you give your attention to something you include it in your vibration, and you get more of it through the magic of the Law of Attraction. This includes anything you give your focus to, including your stories of “reality.” Many people constantly repeat stories of events going poorly for them, mostly because someone will listen, and also because it is “true.” But I’m here to say that “truth and an audience” never stops Source Energy from agreeing with you. Your stories always reinforce the energy behind the story, happy ending or no happy ending. So if you tell true stories without a happy ending, what do you get? You guessed it, more real, true, and contrasting unhappy endings to your present experiences. Why would you want to do this? Good question.
Every thought, word, feeling, and point of focus creates your “story.” Your story is constantly unfolding in an ever-present NOW. Because your story creates your point of attraction, your story also creates your reality. Knowing this, why wouldn’t you want to have a happy ending to your story? Why wouldn’t you tell the story you want to hear, rather than the one you have been telling? Why wouldn’t you create your story like your favorite heroic or romantic plot line? Your story is real…your story is what creates your reality. Listen today to how you tell your story through your thoughts, actions, and spoken words. Does it sound like the plot line that you want to live…that leads to your happy ending? Better yet, does it describe your happy ending as if it were already here? (Then you know you really are on to something!) Here are a few of my favorite quotes about this topic:
- Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought. Albert von Szent-Gyorgyi (1893-1986)
- Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us. Earl Nightingale (1921-1989)
- Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate accomplishments. Napoleon Hill (1883-1970)
- Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD)
- Man’s greatness lies in his power of thought. Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
Start telling the story you want to hear, and be ready to enjoy the best chapter of your life. Be Well, Marie-GP

Like some of you, I am a freelancer, so most of the work I do is done on a varied schedule. I basically work for myself, dig up my own jobs, and get to be thrilled and terrified by it all at the same time. Sometimes the work piles up, and sometimes it goes MIA for a while. When I have big jobs or shows I will often hire some temporary help to assist me with making it a success. I try to be a good manager, and I usually succeed. When I feel overwhelmed, I long for someone who can be counted on to do what I need them to, on time, and exactly the way I would do it if I had the time. This kind of manager is very hard to find, especially when you are as picky as I am about my business. But there is one manager you can always count on to work for you, all day, every day, and with consistent outcomes every time: The Law of Attraction!
Sure, you can’t “see” this manager, and you can’t “fire” this manager, but LOA is on the job 24/7, weekends and holidays. LOA hears your call and brings you the people and resources and circumstances that you alone couldn’t possibly work hard enough to arrange for yourself. So how does this manager behave, and how do you supervise LOA most effectively to do your work? Here are some insights into how I have learned to use this powerful Universal manager in my life.
Law of Attraction behaves consistently. When you live, think and feel, you create a kind of signal, or better said an average vibration, and LOA reads this signal and immediately puts you in the vicinity of people, events, and circumstances that match that vibration. LOA never says “but you don’t really want that, do you?” Instead, it always says “OK boss, I’m on it right now” and relentlessly brings more and more to you. Unlike a human manager, with their human inconsistencies and inevitable miscommunications, the LOA hears your vibration clearly every time and brings you more of the same every time. If you have something go poorly, don’t blame LOA. That would be a mistake. Instead, ask yourself what kind of message you have been sending out through your vibration. If you can’t blame LOA for your results, then you have to look in the mirror and find the source of the issue! Let me explain this a little more.
Law of Attraction is reading your vibration even when you wish it wouldn’t. When you criticize, complain, worry, get depressed, fight with others, watch scary movies, see murders on TV, and read bad-feeling headlines, LOA is on the job working to give you more of the same. It’s as if you were actually putting in an order for how you want your life to be. In this case you are saying: “People hate me and I hate myself, things never work out for me, things are never good enough, I’ll never be successful, people always argue with me, there are bad people out to get me, I can be killed today, and the world has gone mad. Yes, please bring me all of this, and even more…please.” We assume that LOA is smart enough to know that we don’t really want more of these things. But LOA can’t tell the difference between things you want and things you don’t want. It just responds to anything you give your attention to. Whatever you focus on becomes included in your vibrational average, and that alone determines what you get more and more of based on the LOA. Whatever your life is right now is an exact reflection of your average vibrational asking.
So I use LOA to my advantage by including things in my vibration that feel good to me. I read the Gratitude Planet “Good News” section every day, and I look for TV (when I have time to watch) that feels good when I watch it, which means murder and crime shows are not on my list. I look for opportunities to uplift others with my words and actions, and I am sure to appreciate and be grateful for myself, my family, my friends, my coworkers, and even strangers I meet every day. I use visualizations, meditation, yoga, and my painting to center my thoughts on good-feeling topics. I tell the story of my life the way I want it to be, because LOA can’t figure out what is real and what is just my imagination. I try to give clear directions to my universal manager, the Law of Attraction, and then I look to see what I get in my life every day. When I have been feeling good, things seem to work out best, and when I give my focus to things that feel bad, I seem to have a bumpier ride for sure. You probably have noticed this in your life as well. Nice to know that we are the boss!
Be your own boss today, and take charge of the office. Let Law of Attraction work for you! Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP

I just love the Law of Attraction, and I love knowing that what I give my attention to is magnified and manifested over time. I know that what I see, and the experiences I find in my NOW today are a perfect match to what I have been attracting through my vibration. I like paying attention to how I feel and adjusting as the day goes on. I also like the idea that Chris wrote about yesterday, because if there is only inclusion, and things can’t “get me” that I don’t invite in, then I really am in control of my experience. This feels good.
But with the oh-so-good- feeling of ultimate control in my life comes the responsibility to guide my experience. I can’t simply look to others to tell me what to do, because they can’t feel what I am feeling. They haven’t walked in my vibrational shoes, and they can’t possibly be feeling my guidance as strongly as I can. (Actually, I don’t think they can feel MY guidance at all…only their own!) Each person must be their own vibrational compass on the churning seas of their own personal reality. This is probably why some people resist ideas like the Law of Attraction…it’s seems less complicated to just “follow the rules” of parents, teachers, or social institutions who are more than willing to tell you how you should behave. I get it, and it is a responsibility I gladly take on…with joy and bliss, and purpose!
OK, so I have this charge to guide my experience, and I know that I can be, do, or have anything that I can achieve vibrational harmony with. As I said, I have fun observing what I am getting and then adjusting…but how do I more carefully and consciously create a specific experience, with obvious manifestations that I can recognize when they arrive? I have struggled with this in the past, because when I get to the point of deliberate focus, I’m not always sure what I should ask for! I have friends who can blurt out the things they want, no thinking at all, just here’s my list. Jealous. I know that contrast creates desire, and I don’t really need to worry too much about all of this. When I experience contrast it helps me ask for something else, and then the “asking” is done. But I am ready to move into a new level of asking…deliberate, focused asking.
Here is one method I used for finding out what I want. I asked myself if I am keeping myself from wanting because I don’t really believe I am allowed to ask for certain things. What I mean is, I might really want a new car, but I might be afraid to want it too much because I might not believe that I can afford it. So my belief in not having the money to buy a car could be keeping me from asking for it. OK, so I got a piece of paper and wrote “Money is no object for me. What do I want?” I had to be willing to let the first sentence sink in, because I could feel myself resisting the outlandish concept that money didn’t play into the equation. But once I let the money block go, my imagination began to take wings. This process uncovered other blocks to my brainstorming that I wasn’t even aware of. As I shed each limiting belief, at least for the exercise, I found no end to the things I was willing to draw to me…things that felt great to me while thinking about them.
What keeps you from asking for what you want? Do you have the “I don’t know what I want” block too sometimes? Remove your “ya, but” thinking and just put it on vacation today. See what comes up. You can have anything, be anything, and do anything that you achieve vibrational harmony with. Vibrational harmony is achieved when you move into hope, optimism, expectation and belief on the subject. I found this game thrilling for me, and I play it as often as I can. Try it and let us know what happened for you. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa

It’s fun to be living on planet Earth, having a human experience and honing preferences for the experiences we want to attract and create. Every time you have an experience that makes you say “No, I don’t want to have that experience again” it is as if you reconfigure a “preferences file” with the Universe. Through this contrasting experience, the Universe hears your asking (vibrationally) and expands to match your asking, and then it becomes the new vibrational version of you…waiting for YOU to align with the expanded version of YOU. (If this sounds really confusing, read this post right now and see if it helps.) All day, every day we are sorting through our individual preferences for what we want, and when we say “no” we really, really mean “NO!” It’s OK to feel grateful and appreciative for our ability to say “no.” The word “no” puts the expansion of the Universe into motion.
But for the Universe, there is no such thing as the word “no.” When you say “no,” the Universe only hears “yes.” But how can this be? This is because we live in an inclusion-based Universe. The Law of Inclusion dictates that anything that you give your attention to becomes part of your vibration, and then the Law of Attraction gets to work to give you more of it. In other words, you can’t push anything away from you and your vibration…if it has your attention in any way, you are magnifying it and attracting more of it toward your personal experience. In an inclusion-based system, trying to stop anything (drugs, crime, disease, poverty, etc.) only serves to intensify the vibration, no matter how well-meaning you are. So how do we address these problems, you might say? If you focus directly on the problem, there will always be the problem, and bigger problems like it. (The Universe hears “This is a problem” and agrees with you, and sends you more of it because you gave it your attention.) Instead, focus on your mind’s highest image of a solution that does not include the problem. That last sentence is worth reading again. Remember that you can’t think about the problem without including, intensifying, expanding, and drawing more of the problem into your personal experience. So the key is to give your attention to thoughts and ideas of clarity, peace, wellness, and prosperity, rather than trying to rid the planet of drugs, crime, disease, and poverty.
But if no one works to rid the world of drugs, crime, disease, and poverty, won’t these things get out of control and multiply? Not in an inclusion-based Universe. The problems will dissipate and lose their energy as connected people all over the world act on their inner wisdom from connection to Source, and follow their intuition to promote clarity, peace, wellness, and prosperity. What are you for, and what are you against? Now that you are more aware that you are actually for the things you thought you were against, how might you refocus your attention today? Just notice today, through your experience, what you have been asking for by observing everything you are getting. You have been saying “yes” to all of it, even when you shouted “no” at it. Be easy about it, and when you must say “no” just get off the thought and turn to something you can say “yes” to as soon as possible. Be for things from now on, and let them flow to you effortlessly over time. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

I think it’s a human trait to wish everyone would be like we are. If you like a certain TV show, you might wish down deep on some level that everyone would also like it as much as you do. When you figure out how to be connected to Source Energy more often, you want to share these insights with others. Especially when you come to a conclusion through a learning situation, you are likely to want everyone to benefit from your new and improved perspective. But when we want for others, we miss the point that everyone can only want from their own unique perspective. Unless you walk in someone’s shoes and feel the Emotional Guidance System that they have in place, you can never know why they choose their experience the way that they do. All you can really know is how YOU would choose from your unique perspective, and most of the time your choice and their choice will not be the same…and this is OK.
