Pretend that life is like a giant assembly line, and that you are a single worker on that assembly line. Your job is to add your energy and expertise at exactly the right time, and with all the care, quality, and craftsmanship you can. You are not responsible for placing the order, or keeping the line running, or adding other pieces, or even worrying about the final product. Your job is to add your unique piece as masterfully as you can.

When life causes you to want something, as you desire it a signal is sent to the Universe, and an order is placed with Source Energy on your behalf for a physical manifestation. While you are the “asker” for the new condition (money, health, a new job, more friends, or whatever) you don’t need to spend one second worrying if the Universe got the order. Once it is placed, it is placed. Now your focus can be to recognize when your “product” comes by on the assembly line, and to add your quality and craftsmanship to the product. In the case of more money, you would live your day looking for evidence of more money coming to you.

Let’s say you are buying something and the clerk informs you at the checkout that she will be taking an extra 20% the total; picture your prosperity coming before you on that vibrational assembly line. What are you going to do as it goes by? If you say something to yourself that feels like “the Universe is always looking out for me, and is bringing me more money all the time,” it is as if you polished the desire and put gold trim around it. Then off it goes, toward some finished product you will see shortly. But your job is done until you see the next piece of evidence of your prosperity. Look for it, and you will see it again. Add another detail of vibrational quality as it comes by again.

If you decide instead to say something to yourself that feels like “I shouldn’t be spending this money because I never have enough. Another 20% off what I don’t have is not good for my prosperity,” then it is like taking a baseball bat and knocking the product right off the assembly line belt as it goes by. Instead, always think about the value you can give the thought, and do your best to make the quality of the thought increase as it travels by on your vibrational conveyor belt. You are not the factory, the Universe is. You are not the conveyor belt, time and space is. You are not in charge of assembling the pieces before they get to you, Law of Attraction is. Do YOUR job today, which is to add craftsmanship and quality to the piece that is before you right now. Relax and let the rest of the work be done by Source Energy. If you do this you will be amazed at the end result: what you want will be in your experience more and more of the time. I think it is actually very freeing to know I don’t need to do it all, and that I have a specific and manageable job. I give thanks, gratitude, and appreciation for my specific job and purpose today. Do your job proudly and joyfully today, and let the pieces come together naturally and with love. Enjoy this most amazing day. Chris-GP

I thought about what I wanted achieve through solving the problem, and I summed it all up in a single word: Freedom. I wanted a solution so that I could feel more freedom in every part of my vibration. So instead of spending my energy and focus trying to solve the “issue,” I instead turned my inner focus to the feeling of freedom. I started by letting go of having to be in control of the problem, and I just began to breathe and allow my thoughts to settle. I relaxed my face and jaw, and imagined myself in complete freedom. I was free to be, do, or have anything I could imagine, and I was unlimited by people or circumstances. I was free from my past and unlimited by my future. I came to realize that the only thing I really wanted was the feeling of freedom, and in a relatively short amount of time I was able to experience a feeling of freedom. What a joy to realize that the feeling of freedom was available to me even before I solved my “problem.” In fact, now the problem seemed almost insignificant to the joy I was feeling amidst my new-found inner freedom. If I can do it, so can you!

If there is something you want, ask yourself why you want it. How will you feel when you get it? Can you break free and start feeling that way right now? If so, you have access to the end goal in this moment, and you also have a way to help the Law of Attraction manifest the actual solution. By aligning with the feeling of having achieved something first, you are suddenly a powerful match to the new condition. If you are a match to the feeling of the solution, it must flood into your reality as a “real” experience. If you want more money, reach for feelings of abundance and prosperity. If you want a new love in your life, feel love for yourself and others right now. If you want better health, try to reach for thoughts that feel like wellness. You always get more of what you focus upon, and the end goal you are reaching for can almost always be expressed in an emotion or feeling that you have access to right NOW! What do you need to change to feel totally free in this moment? You don’t have to change your circumstances…but you do need to change your focus. Try it, and may you feel better and better. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP

Many people want to expand their wealth and prosperity. They are living a life where they see evidence of lack, and they want more prosperity because of their perception of not having enough. This is fine, because contrast creates desire, and desire drives the expansion on the Universe. But not having enough is really just a manifestation of thoughts, feelings, and actions that match the vibration of lack. If you want to manifest abundance, you must first find ways to think, feel, and act that are in line with a vibration of prosperity. Sounds easy, I know. But I also understand the frustration that comes from not seeing results for your efforts. I live within these Laws too, so I speak from having been both successful and unsuccessful with these processes. Here are some tips to help you match your desires for abundance:

Determine how much money you really want. Do you really want a trillion dollars? What would you do with it? How would you manage it? What amount feels right to you? Decide how much you want, and feel good about attracting it. You may simply decide that you want enough to meet your bills, save for retirement, and travel on a regular basis. Others will want to have the title of millionaire. It’s all up to you, but the point is to feel good about the amount.

Feel like you would if you already had the prosperity. Take as much time as you can every day to feel the feelings you would have if you were looking back on the achievement of the money and abundance. Would you be energetic and excited about it? Would you already be thinking of ways to enjoy the money? Most people want money because of the feeling of freedom they think it would bring. Maybe freedom is not the first feeling you entertain when you think about how you would feel. So what would you feel? Does it feel good? If so, keep playing with this feeling. Let it grow and enjoy every second of it.

Do something that you would do if you already had the money. This can be big or small. Take an extra hour for lunch, or fill your car with premium gas. Buy a new shirt or pair of shoes, or give some money to charity. The point is to feel like you would feel as you act like you would act if you already had the money. An hour of window shopping at an expensive store can do amazing things for your vibration, as long as you enjoy the items and feel the joy of being able to buy any and all of them.

Determine and give thought to your next goal, now that money is no longer a concern. Take money off the table as a major concern. Focus your attention on the next important goal in your life. Take joy in the achievement of the prosperity dream, and let your life shift to other desires. What are you ready to create? Think about how your every need is taken care of in terms of abundance, and let this be a comforting thought.

Let every bit of prosperity you see be YOUR prosperity. If you see a new BMW (and if you like BMW’s) then love it while you look at it. Say to yourself, “that’s just like mine!” Browse online to find things you like, regardless of price. Enjoy the ability to have anything you want. Be happy for the prosperity that others have manifested, just as if YOU had attracted it to yourself as well.

All of this may seem delusional to you, but he Laws of the Universe respond only to your vibration. How you think, feel and act determine the quality of your vibration. If you want to be a millionaire, you have to think, feel, and act like one first. You can’t play this game and feel lack, or nothing will change. You can’t play this game and tell yourself you are playing this game. You have to do these steps in the vibration of achievement and joy, and you get to have fun as you do it. Believe that the power of the Universe is providing the magic, and believe and take comfort in the perfect unfolding of your life. Once you do this one time with a major desire you have held for some time, and then you see it manifest, you will realize the power of your ability to create anything you desire. Live in abundance today, and soon you will see the results pour in from every direction! Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

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.

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:

1. It’s Spring!
2. We live on one of the most beautiful planets in the Universe.
3. We are so connected to each other on so many different levels.
4. Love is in our own backyard.
5. We have more to eat than we could ever think of.
6. We have bodies that can taste, touch, smell, hear and see everything that we want.
7. We all have talents.
8. We have friends who love and support us, and we can love and support them in return.
9. We have the ability and freedom to choose that which is best for ourselves.
10. 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

1. What is prosperity, and how will you know when you have it?

2. Why do you want prosperity, and what will you do with it?

3. What will being prosperous feel like?

Question one has a simple answer on the surface: prosperity is money, and I’ll know by the bottom line on my bank statement. It is true that prosperous people are often monetarily rich, and it is also true that it is hard to think of prosperity apart from income. But haven’t you met some very rich people who feel poor? Haven’t you observed happy people who have next to nothing? It can be said, then, that feeling prosperous is a relative thing indeed: for some people, no amount of money will make them feel prosperous enough to be happy. Maybe prosperity comes in other forms as well, and perhaps prosperity can be better defined as being happy with what you have, while expecting more to flow to you. Maybe prosperity consciousness is all about being rich in thought, action and feeling, and allowing the riches to flow through many varied channels. You will know you have it because you will be living a life that is rich in gifts, and you will be open to happily receiving these gifts in each moment.

Why do you want to be prosperous, and what will you do with it? This is a harder question for many people to answer. Can you answer it off the top of your head? From a young age we have been conditioned to chase after money, and many of us can’t even say what we want the money for. Sure, you can pay bills, buy a better car, and live in a better house…but when all this is done, then what? Why do you want it? Will you help others with it? Will you give some away? Will you will it to your kids? There is no right answer, but what ever your answers are will give you insight into the motivation behind your pursuit of monetary prosperity. Focusing on the good that the money can ignite can help it flow to you more easily into your experience. Broadening your definition of “prosperity” to include any gift that makes your life richer can also help more of it flow to you effortlessly.

What does it feel like to be prosperous? I immediately think of the word “freedom.” I think many people want to be rich so that they can be free to live as they choose. But as I stated earlier, there are many “rich” people who do not feel free. In fact, big dollars often come with problems that are just as big. Some very wealthy people have no time to enjoy their money, and they constantly strive to arrive at a place in time where they can finally relax into their prosperity. There are also unhappy poor people, I know. But the saying that “money can’t buy love or happiness” does hold some truth. I believe that true prosperity feels like fun, excitement, richness, joy, love, passion, and bliss. If you are rich in thought, action and feeling, you are receiving prosperity in a multitude of ways: in the eyes of children…in the smiles of friends…in the job you do…in the beauty of music and art…and even in the majesty of a sunrise. A prosperous person feels rich and free, and they expect it to continue. A prosperous person knows that all is well, and if they want more green stuff too, the Law of Attraction can easily line them up with more money as well. It’s always about how you feel. Feel rich…become rich…in every area of your experience!

This post was inspired by the AMAZING sunrise I witnessed today outside my house. I gave great thanks and appreciated the light show, and it felt like a living work of art was unfolding before my eyes. I wondered how many other people who were watching the sunrise were feeling as prosperous as I was. Just being there and receiving the gift of the moment, I felt like the richest man on the planet. It didn’t change my bank account necessarily, but it filled up my appreciation and gratitude tank to full for sure. I am grateful for the prosperity that allows me to live fully and love fully. What are the gifts of prosperity that are already in your life right now? Do you perceive them? Are you open to receive them? Do you give thanks for them? If you are, then you are rich indeed. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

Here are some pictures of the sunrise over Long Beach this morning. Enjoy!
