As you are practicing being a deliberate creator of your life, it is so important to be choosy about what you give your attention to. Your focus of thinking, feeling, and acting is what creates your point of attraction…and point of attraction is like a telegram you deliver to Law of Attraction asking the Universe to match you with more of the same. This makes sense when you think of your point of attraction in terms of an average vibration. If you take any measure 100 times, you will begin to approach a reliable average for that particular measurement. For example, if you randomly measure the heights of 100 people in a large room full of 500 people, and then add the heights and divide the sum by 100, you will have a good average measurement for the height of all people in the room. Of course, your reliability gets better when you measure more and more people. One hundred gives you a good start at estimating the average, and five hundred obviously determines the exact average. Your point of attraction, then, is your exact vibrational average over time…and as I said, it is what Source Energy sends you more of through the Law of Attraction. This is why people get frustrated with deliberate creation sometimes, and this frustration makes complete sense when you dig just a little deeper.
When you compute an average, you are taking into account every measure collected so that you can have a single number to report. But within the 100 height measurements described above, there will still be some rather tall people and some rather short people. This becomes clearer when you think of the extremes in this example. If I measured only two people in a room, and there were only two people there, I could still compute the average height for the room. Let’s say one person is seven feet tall and the other is four feet tall. The equation is ((7+4)/2)=5.5. So the average height in this room with two people is 5.5 feet. But no one in the room is actually that height! An average, in this case, doesn’t describe anyone in the room specifically at all in terms of height. Yet that is what an average is…the measure that crunches all the numbers to get a single measure in the middle.
When you think, feel, and act, you are creating vibrational measures that are sent to the Universe. But the Universe has the ability to collect every one of these measures to compute your vibrational average. The Universe never just sifts through to take a sample. In other words, you are constantly sending vibrational measurements when you think, feel, and act, each day, every day, in every second of every moment. Your average vibration might be made up of some really good-feeling moments, as well as some very disconnected moments, as well as a bunch of “in between” moments. This is why what you get sometimes seems to be different than what you thought you were asking for. If you have a car accident, it’s not because you thought the words “car accident.” Rather, your vibrational average was matched by Law of Attraction to bring you the experience of “car accident.” An unpleasant manifestation will always have some very disconnected moments preceding it to bring down the vibrational average over time. Likewise, pleasant manifestations will be preceded by enough connected moments that drive up the average as well. What you think and feel (on average) is always, always, always a match to what you get, period.
Because you are asking all day, every day, it makes sense to give your focus and attention only to things that drive up your vibrational average over time. As a spirit having a human experience, there will always be some moments of contrast and disconnection…and that’s OK! Remember that a tall person and a short person equal an average-height person, so being really disconnected or really connected some of the time won’t bring you either extreme as an average vibration. It is your job (and this is your only job) to raise your vibrational average. When you do, your get more prosperity, wealth, wellness, health, joy, gratitude, bliss, and abundance. Today, make every moment an opportunity to raise your vibrational average by being grateful for what you already have. Give thanks for the people you interact with, and feel appreciation for the way the day unfolds before you. Know that this moment, and every moment, is the Earth-bound, human reflection of your vibrational average up to this point, and that you are always adding to the bottom line. Your vibrational average will always equal your point of attraction! Relax and enjoy the process. Your job is simply to make the best of it, and then to enjoy the miracle of the Universe and Law of Attraction as you get more and more of the life you want. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP
Love This Day!

Hi Everyone! I wrote a post called “Lift Your Mood With Healthy Food” a while back, and I wanted to write a short post today too. I have found that when I get stuck on a thought or habit of doing things that it can be hard to change my ways. After a while you start expecting things in your life to stay the same, because nothing seems to be changing very much. Law of Attraction is really just bringing you change that feels the same because your thoughts and feelings and actions aren’t changing much either. Change can only come when you change your focus, so you have to be the first thing that changes, and then you will see change come to you. I have decided to expect miracles in my life. You see, a miracle is something that seems unlikely. It is like someone walking on water, or healing a sick person. Yet, miracles happen every day when you expect them. If you made a list of things you want, and then you really expected to get them, you would get them! Here is a list of “miracles” that I know many people want but hold themselves away from:
IT WOULD BE A “MIRACLE” IF I COULD:
- loose 20 pounds.
- get a job.
- find a Soulmate.
- be healthy again.
- feel young again.
- have children.
- buy a house.
There are many, many more too. Start thinking of a miracle as something people manifest every day. Make it something you expect everyday. You might think it isn’t possible, but it is possible once you take the resistance out of the equation. What is YOUR miracle? What would you allow into your experience if you could ask for ANYTHING? Let us know. Expect to see you miracle, and you will.
In Joy and Appreciation, Christina

I came to a great realization recently. I realized that you can’t make a thought stop. If you try to stop thinking about something, you only think about it more. So I made a pledge to redirect my thinking instead. Here are three times I did this during this past week:
- My mother called. I was in a rush. I felt mad that she caught me at a bad time. I seemed irritated, and she could tell. I could tell. Then, I decided to think about how much she means to me. I redirected and thought about what a gift it is that she is still alive and aware of her surroundings. I thought about how lucky I am to have her. I felt better. I felt grateful. The conversation went better. I was on time after all to where I was going.
- I was on hold with the phone company trying to sort out a charge on my monthly bill. I held for a while, got a nice person, had it almost resolved when…the call was dropped, and I couldn’t call the agent back. (Irony abounds, eh?) I had to go through the whole process AGAIN! I was ready to take it out on the next person (who didn’t know me or my story at all), but instead, I redirected my thoughts. I “made up” a story about this person, and it went something like this: This person loves their job. They will enjoy helping me. They didn’t cause the dropped call. They will be able to solve this easily. I will enjoy interacting with this agent. And that is EXACTLY what happened. No dropped call either.
- I was driving to work and found myself in bumper-to-bumper traffic. “EEEEK!” I knew i would be really late at the rate the traffic was moving. “Damn it,” I thought. “This sucks! Why ME?” Then I redirected. I told THIS story: Maybe this delay is setting me up to run into events and circumstances that will help me today. Maybe I avoided an accident myself by slowing here. I will be in perfect timing today. I can’t be late, because I am perfectly aligned with people and events. This is just part of the perfection. In the five minutes that I redirected my thoughts, the traffic started moving and I was on my way..and NOT late for work. Gratitude and appreciation flowed.
OK, you might say, thinking didn’t change those circumstances. You just felt better in those circumstances. And I say, look, Law of Attraction either is real, or it isn’t. If it’s real, then how I feel matters a lot! If it isn’t real, I just got lucky. I can’t prove it to you, but you can prove it to yourself. Try redirecting and see if you have fewer bad endings and more good endings to your daily segments. I swear that when I redirect, things work out almost every time. If it has worked for you, even ONCE, leave a comment and let me know about it. Tell me your story people! I know there are thousands, if not millions of people who have experienced this kind of magic in their life. Let’s hear your stories! Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP

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!

My first post on optimism was called “Optimism is a Choice” and can be read by clicking HERE if you haven’t already digested it. Optimism is one of the emotional range levels on the Vibrational/Emotional Scale, somewhere above the feelings of “hopefulness and contentment.” When you are in optimism you are in the vibrational flow of the Universe enough that the Law of Attraction can bring you evidence of the positive changes you have asked for in your experience. Optimism aligns you with allowing, and it is the gateway to the more powerful emotions of allowing such as Gratitude, Positive Expectation, Belief, Enthusiasm, Eagerness, Happiness, Passion, Joy, Knowledge, Empowerment, Freedom, Love, Bliss, and Appreciation. It is the “gate keeper” to the Vortex, where the Law of Attraction “assembles all cooperative relationships.” Reach for optimism, and you reach for your connection to Source Energy and your inspiration to action as communicated through your inner being. But how do you become an optimistic person? You simply practice doing it until it becomes a habit. Here are several tips to practice being optimistic today:
- Remember that few things on planet Earth are 100% sure. In any scientific study, or poll of people, you will have a split of opinions and findings, and a margin of error. For example, if a large percentage of people believe that they will get the flu this year, there are also some people that believe that they will NOT come down with the flu. This will play out in “reality” and some will and some won’t get the flu. Even if 90% of people get the flu, you can affirm at any time that you will be one of those people who will remain completely healthy. TIP SUMMARY: No one, not even a majority of people, can force me to believe anything that I do not choose to believe.
- You can always use your power of focus to direct your thoughts toward what you want at all times. Use affirming statements when you are driving, exercising, or drifting off to sleep. Some of my favorites are “I always find a parking space,” and “I have perfect timing in all things,” and “I always have enough to be happy,” and “Today is going to be a great day,” and “Things always work out for me,” and “I expect to see and draw to me happy and connected people today,” and “My dreams tonight will be fun, exciting, and inspiring.” TIP SUMMARY: You are in complete control of the thoughts you choose to think, and you can use affirmations to help you make optimism a habitual vibrational offering.
- You can help others see potential positive aspects in things. When you are listening to someone talk, you can find the best in what they are saying and reinforce it back to them. You can say “What I hear you saying is that your perfect job is on the way, and that you will be in the right place at the right time when your perfect job opens up. That’s awesome!” Even if they didn’t say it to you with those exact words, it is uplifting to decide to take their words with an optimistic slant. There are other times where you will have to insert an optimistic phrase in an otherwise pessimistic conversation. Be careful not to be annoying, but also let them know that you see it a little differently. You might say “ya, jobs are hard to find, so I understand your frustration. But I know you will get a great job soon. People thrive in all times, and I see you thriving in my mind’s eye. All is well.” You should feel a little softening in their resistance if your words are phrased carefully. TIP SUMMARY: You can practice your optimism every time you are face-to-face with others.
I love knowing that I can be one of the growing number of people that choose to see the world as opening, evolving, growing, connecting, loving, and allowing. I am elated that I get to choose if I connect or disconnect through my thinking. I am grateful that my interaction with others can be of great value to others. I so appreciate the times when I can be uplifted by the thinking and words of others. I love turning and giving my attention to things that feel good, and making the best out of the things that feel like contrast. I love striving to see my glass overflowing with wellbeing. I love living the results and manifestations that I am enjoying from thinking optimistically over time. And finally, I appreciate the opportunity to share these words with you today, and I am grateful for you, always. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

I would like to start a series of posts about using optimism to your advantage. Optimism is a key tool in harnessing the full power of the Law of Attraction, and it is nothing more than being picky about the thoughts you choose to think. Each person has a vibrational range, and this range is determined by the average feeling or vibrational content of the thoughts you have been thinking. If you haven’t read the GP post on Using the Emotional Scale, you may want to read it first by clicking HERE. You only have access to thoughts that are close to your vibrational range, so trying to feel optimism when you are feeling doubt is next to impossible to do. But I like optimism as a default “go to” vibration for several reasons. Even if you are in the vibrational range of doubt, your job is to find the best thought that you have vibrational access to. Instead of having to remember what emotional label is above doubt (in this case it is disappointment) I reach for “an optimistic thought” in my range, which might move me into a little higher vibration. I find this easier to do (at least for me) than trying to feel disappointment. I reach for “optimistic doubt” and I land in something that feels better than doubt. From there, I do the same thing again and find some thoughts that could be called “optimistic disappointment,” even if I don’t use that label.
I believe that optimism is especially powerful because it includes a reference to both sides of the issue: the glass is half full, or it is half empty. It helps you choose to focus on the side of the issue that tells a better story. It looks objectively at something and makes the most out of it. It is a launching pad for climbing the emotional scale on any issue. It recognizes the choices you have with two distinct paths, one that leads you closer to where you want to be, and one that leads you away from your desired emotional destination. It is the opposite of delusional; it is grounded and realistic while still being a reach on the vibrational scale. (Incidentally, you can make a good case for the concept of being delusional too, forgetting about “reality” completely and giving thought only to your goal. Many successful people call this “being focused.”)
Do you consider yourself to be an optimist? I know some people that pride themselves on being a self-described “devil’s advocate” and finding the fault in any idea, plan, or brainstorm. They feel that they play an important role in the conversation by bringing everyone down to a realistic level. But they actually do themselves a disservice by lowering their own emotional set point of vibration, which inevitably keeps them feeling worse and worse. The “important role” of pessimist keeps them from manifesting their desires and askings, and their Source will never take a pessimistic view of anything…so they live out of alignment with their own inner being.
Notice today what your thoughts and words feel like. Are they optimistic or pessimistic? Do your thoughts and words lead you to feelings that feel better or feelings that worse? Just notice. If you find that you inject part your day with pessimism, acknowledge that optimism is a choice, just as pessimism is also a choice. Each can be practiced just as easily as the other. In every moment you can choose to see the best, or the worst. You can reach for the best thought you can find, or you can reach for the worst thought you can find. It’s all up to you, and by paying attention you will be empowered to choose more consciously today. I truly believe you will do great things today, and I know you will feel better and better as the day goes on. May you find joy in every moment in this most amazing day! Chris-GP
