<!-- End BidVertiser code --> </div><p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/attraction.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1787" title="attraction" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/attraction.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="299" /></a>I just love the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em>, 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 there is only inclusion, and things can&#8217;t &#8220;get me&#8221; that I don&#8217;t invite in, then I really am in control of my experience. This feels good.</p>
<p>But with the oh-so-good- feeling of ultimate control in my life comes the responsibility to guide my experience. I can&#8217;t simply look to others to tell me what to do, because they can&#8217;t feel what I am feeling. They haven&#8217;t walked in my vibrational shoes, and they can&#8217;t possibly be feeling my guidance as strongly as I can. (Actually, I don&#8217;t think they can feel MY guidance at all&#8230;only their own!) Each person must <em>be</em> their own vibrational compass on the churning seas of their own personal reality. This is probably why some people resist ideas like the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>&#8230;it&#8217;s seems less complicated to just &#8220;follow the rules&#8221; 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&#8230;with joy and bliss, and purpose!</p>
<p>OK, so I have this charge to guide my experience, and I know that I can be, do, or have anything that I can <em>achieve vibrational harmony with</em>. As I said, I have fun observing what I am getting and then adjusting&#8230;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, <em>I&#8217;m not always sure what I should ask for</em>! I have friends who can blurt out the things they want, no thinking at all, just here&#8217;s my list. Jealous. I know that contrast creates desire, and I don&#8217;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 &#8220;asking&#8221; is done. But I am ready to move into a new level of asking&#8230;deliberate, focused asking.</p>

<!-- End BidVertiser code --> </div><p>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&#8217;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 &#8220;Money is no object for me. What do I want?&#8221; I had to be willing to let the first sentence sink in, because I could feel myself resisting the outlandish concept that money didn&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8230;things that felt great to me while thinking about them.</p>
<p>What keeps you from asking for what you want? Do you have the &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what I want&#8221; block too sometimes? Remove your &#8220;ya, but&#8221; 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.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/yes-and-no.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1775" title="yes-and-no" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/yes-and-no.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>It&#8217;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 &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t want to have that experience again&#8221; it is as if you reconfigure a &#8220;preferences file&#8221; with the <em><strong>Universe</strong></em>. Through this contrasting experience, the <em>Universe</em> hears your asking (vibrationally) and expands to match your asking, and then it becomes the new vibrational version of you&#8230;waiting for YOU to align with the expanded version of YOU.  All day, every day we are sorting through our individual preferences for what we want, and when we say &#8220;no&#8221; we really, really mean &#8220;NO!&#8221; It&#8217;s OK to feel grateful and appreciative for our ability to say &#8220;no.&#8221; The word &#8220;no&#8221; puts the expansion of the <em>Universe</em> into motion.</p>
<p>But for the <em>Universe</em>, there is no such thing as the word &#8220;no.&#8221; When you say &#8220;no,&#8221; the <em>Universe</em> only hears &#8220;yes.&#8221; But how can this be? This is because we live in an <em>inclusion-based</em> <em>Universe</em>. The <strong><em>Law of Inclusion</em></strong> dictates that anything that you give your attention to becomes part of your vibration, and then the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> gets to work to give you more of it. In other words, you can&#8217;t push anything away from you and your vibration&#8230;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 &#8220;This is a problem&#8221; and agrees with you, and sends you more of it because you gave it your attention.)</p>
<p>Instead, focus on your <em>mind&#8217;s highest image of a solution that does not include the problem.</em> That last sentence is worth reading again. Remember that you can&#8217;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.</p>
<p>But if no one works to rid the world of drugs, crime, disease, and poverty, won&#8217;t these things get out of control and multiply? Not in an inclusion-based <em>Universe</em>. The problems will dissipate and lose their energy as connected people all over the world act on their inner wisdom from connection to <strong><em>Source</em></strong>, and follow their intuition to promote clarity, peace, wellness, and prosperity.</p>
<p>What are you for, and what are you against? Now that you are more aware that you are actually <em>for</em> the things you thought you were <em>against</em>, 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 &#8220;yes&#8221; to all of it, even when you shouted &#8220;no&#8221; at it. Be easy about it, and when you must say &#8220;no&#8221; just get off the thought and turn to something you can say &#8220;yes&#8221; to as soon as possible. Be <em>for things </em>from now on, and let them flow to you effortlessly over time. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Law of Attraction is a universal law that deals with energy and vibration. Like attracts like. You are like a radio station that is constantly sending out a signal, and the Universe is broadcasting right back at you with the same signal! What ever you broadcast vibrationally as you live your day is matched, enhanced, and expanded by Law of Attraction. If you want change, you have to change your vibrational broadcast signal first, and then the Universe will change to match it.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/what-are-you-waiting-for.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1691" title="what-are-you-waiting-for" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/what-are-you-waiting-for-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>There are a lot of people discovering the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> for the first time, and I think it&#8217;s one of the most exciting times to be alive here on planet Earth. People are learning (or remembering) that the sum essence of their thoughts, actions, and feelings is what creates their reality. We are all coming to understand that we are eternal creators, and that we are here for <em>joy, growth, and expansion</em>. People are experiencing how a thought, practiced over time, attracts other thoughts and experiences to match it. More and more people every day are coming to trust <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong> as a never-ending, consistent supply of love, inspiration, wellbeing, and connection. New websites about how to align with the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> are popping up every day, and there are a lot of curious souls who want to learn to live a more purposeful life of joy. You are one of them, because you found your way to this moment in time, at this website, reading these words. Welcome.</p>
<p>The <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> is not difficult to understand or harness, but there is so much information out there that is geared for different kinds of people. It appears to be much more complicated than it really is. Today I will give you an easy way to summarize the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>, and then I will give one example of how I have used it effectively to create something I wanted.</p>
<p><strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> is a universal law that deals with <em>energy and vibration</em>. Like attracts like. You are like a radio station that is constantly sending out a signal, and the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> is <em>broadcasting right back at you with the same signal! </em>What ever you broadcast vibrationally as you live your day is matched, enhanced, and expanded by <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>. If you want change, you have to change your vibrational broadcast signal first, and then the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> will change to match it. Waiting for the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> to change YOU is a recipe for disconnection and frustration. I hope you are grasping the amazing truth in this: You have at your fingertips, right now, the ability to harness the energy that creates worlds&#8230;and it is constantly working to match and attract to you anything you broadcast. WOW!</p>
<p>A few years ago my wife and I moved to Southern California from the Midwest. We decided to live near the beach, and we found a great apartment just three blocks from the ocean. In only a few weeks we decided that we wanted to be not just close to the ocean, but we wanted to live <em>right on the ocean!</em> It would have been easy to find a million reasons why this would be impossible, but we understand the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>, and we set out a course to allow this desire into our lives. The key is to get aligned with your desire, and to <em>live it right now</em>. Yes, you have to live it right now! But, you say, you didn&#8217;t live on the ocean. You only lived near the ocean. You were fooling yourself. And I say, sure, we were fooling ourselves&#8230;right into a place of feeling good about our desire, and right into broadcasting a signal that the <em><strong>Universe</strong></em> could match. We talked about how great it was to live on the water, and we bought books and magazines that had pictures of the ocean, I set up an electronic picture frame with hundreds of ocean-front images that I found on line, and we even slept every night, all night, to the sound of ocean waves on the iHome iPod dock next to the bed. We made vision boards with pictures of the beach. We also created &#8220;an allowing manifesto&#8221; for this manifestation of ocean-front living. (More about that in a later post). I found myself spending many hours of inspired time looking at real estate listings, all the while enjoying the feeling of living on the water. Yes, we &#8220;fooled&#8221; ourselves into broadcasting this signal to the <em><strong>Universe</strong></em>: &#8220;we live on the beach, we have the resources to purchase a home, and we love living here.&#8221; By not contradicting our own vibrational desire, <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> had no problem attracting to me a real estate listing that caught my eye. I immediately called the agent and set up a showing. It matched our list of criteria, and we were soon living there. But in our minds, <em>we were already living there.</em> Moving in was the last step, not the first step!</p>
<p>You can do this too. Look at the things you have been asking for. Have you been sending a signal that you already have it? Can you enjoy the feeling of living it right now? If you can do this and love having it now, you will be in the right place at the right time to have it flood to you through inspired action. I would love to hear your stories about your successes.

		<description><![CDATA[A lot of stress and disconnection is created by people who strive to keep up with everyone else. The truth is, you can't keep up with anyone else when it comes to creating your own reality and attracting joy into your life. What you think you see others experiencing in their own lives is simply a manifestation of what they have attracted and allowed. YOU are doing the same, and you are receiving based on your personal vibrational alignment with who you have become. When you strive to be in alignment with a vibration you have not expanded into, only frustration and disconnection can be your experience.

Not keeping up with others is a good idea. Not keeping up with yourself is a bad idea.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/joneses.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1648" title="joneses" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/joneses-274x300.jpg" alt="" width="274" height="300" /></a>Sometimes we look around at other people and we get the feeling that we should be experiencing our world in the same way that they are. This is the classic &#8220;keeping up with the Joneses&#8221; syndrome where you never feel like your life is as good as someone else&#8217;s life. Because <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> gives you more of what ever you focus upon, is it not to your advantage to look at anyone this way, because you can&#8217;t help but feel bad comparing the two experiences. A lot of stress and disconnection is created by people who strive to keep up with everyone else. The truth is, you can&#8217;t keep up with <em>anyone else</em> when it comes to creating your own reality and attracting joy into your life. What you think you see others experiencing in their own lives is simply a manifestation of what they have attracted and allowed. YOU are doing the same, and you are receiving based on your personal vibrational alignment with <em>who you have become</em>. When you strive to be in alignment with a vibration you have not expanded into, only frustration and disconnection can be your experience.</p>
<p>Not keeping up with others is a good idea. <em>Not keeping up with yourself is a bad idea</em>. Every time you experience contrast in your life, you know what you don&#8217;t want, and you define more clearly what you DO want. When you define what you DO want, your vibrational self takes on an expansion that equals the degree of the asking. In other words, if you get really, really sick, <em>vibrationally</em> you become very, very healthy. At this point you are not going to feel good at all, because there are literally TWO yous: the sick one and the healthy one. These two vibrations do not match, and your emotional guidance system will tell you that there is <em>discord in your vibration with yourself</em>. You will feel like crap. The only real choice you have, if you want to be a joyful and expanding human on planet Earth, is to <em>keep up with yourself</em>, and give your full attention to becoming a vibrational match to your healthy self. You can&#8217;t undo what you have become, by the way. You either align with it, or you feel bad. Simple. Change (for the better) or suffer where you are until you are so unhappy that you are pushed to change somehow. Why not save yourself the struggle and give your full attention to matching your own vibrational expansion?</p>
<p>So in summary, you can never align with someone else&#8217;s vibrational expansion, because it isn&#8217;t yours. Don&#8217;t bother trying to keep up with what <em>others</em> have created. Instead, pay close attention to who <em>you</em> have become, and stand ready to be like the latest and greatest version of YOU! Just by living and experiencing life you have helped create the very best version of who you can possibly be right now. Relax, make peace with where you are, and notice how you feel. If you feel good (or better) you are aligning vibrationally with the new you. Just keep up with you. May you fully enjoy this most amazing day, and Happy New Year to Everyone in the GP Community!  Chris-GP</p>

		<description><![CDATA[But what about if you don't love your job, or what if you really dislike your job? You have two choices.

Obviously only the first choice is the productive choice. But it can be difficult to see something positive inside something you have whipped up to a negative feeling/vibration. Remember that the Law of Attraction can only bring you more of what you have, so it is never in your best interest to perpetuate a story that feels bad. Instead, you have to tell a different story to anyone who will listen.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/confucius.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1601" title="confucius" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/confucius-284x300.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="300" /></a>The Chinese philosopher <a title="More about Confucius" href="http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/confucius/" target="_blank">Confucius</a> (551-479 BCE) is often attributed the quote<em> &#8220;Choose a job you love and you&#8217;ll never work a day in your life.&#8221;</em> There is so much wisdom in this saying, and it seems to be a major component of living a happy life with purpose. When you love your job, every day is a day filled with growth and expansion. You are able to commit yourself to being present because you don&#8217;t have the distraction of wishing you were somewhere else, or wishing away the time while you feel bored and unengaged. There are few (if any) jobs that don&#8217;t have some aspect of &#8220;have to&#8217;s&#8221; associated with them. But I know that loving your job spills over into everything else you do, and the happiest people I know seem to have fulfilling and meaningful work that they like to one degree of another.</p>
<p>But what about if you don&#8217;t love your job, or what if you really <em>dislike</em> your job? You have two choices. You can use this feeling of unhappiness to launch a new desire for a better job, and then you can be ready to act when the time for inspired action arrives. Or you can just complain, tell a sad story to anyone who will listen, and whip up an amazingly disconnected feeling every time you think of your work. Obviously only the first choice is the productive choice. But it can be difficult to see something positive inside something you have whipped up to a negative feeling/vibration.</p>
<p>Remember that the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> can only bring you more of what you have, so it is never in your best interest to perpetuate a story that feels bad. Instead, you have to tell a different story to anyone who will listen. You have to look for the small things you love about your job that you might have been subconsciously ignoring. Take these small things and turn them into BIG things. For example, you may not enjoy attending meetings in your job. Instead of waking and dreading the day because of a 1:00 PM meeting you have to attend, be grateful for the coffee break you will have with your friend at 10:00 AM. Create an inner dialogue that is playful, even for tasks that are repetitive. I know that when I have to, say, stuff 1,000 envelopes I find some sort of game to play, with my own made-up rules and with crazy goals that make me laugh. To someone watching, it looks like I am just going about my business and working. But my inner thinking is amusing me to no end. If you hate your job, remember that you have the real power to sustain that vibration or to change that vibration. You can make your <em>vocation</em> your <em>vacation</em>, with just a little change of focus and with a little bit of redirection in your inner speak.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s the most important part of all of this. If you are stuck in a job you dislike, and you find a way to love it and enjoy it&#8230;<em>it&#8217;s highly likely that you will be offered another job that you like even more.</em> When you hate your job, the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> will keep you in it because it matches you with more of what you are experiencing. You may be fired, but you will attract another job you hate. So if you choose (right now) to love your job more, then more opportunities for work you enjoy will be made available to you in very short order. Do what you love and love what you do&#8230;as much as possible&#8230;and let the magic or your life take a firm hold and amaze you with every turn. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Law of Attraction is managing all of this for you, of course, and there is no way that anyone or anything can keep you from attracting the things that you are a vibrational match to. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Perfect-Match.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1529" title="Perfect-Match" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Perfect-Match-222x300.jpg" alt="" width="222" height="300" /></a>When you look at the world, all the people in it, and all the varied experiences that people are having, it&#8217;s amazing to behold. Billions of people having varied and contrasting experiences, and each is getting to choose what they give their attention to. It&#8217;s easy to be caught up in it all and see people having the things you want to have, or doing the things you want to do, and then worrying that they are keeping you from getting your share of the cool stuff. <strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> is managing all of this for you, of course, and there is no way that anyone or anything can keep you from attracting the things that you are a <em>vibrational match</em> to. In fact, everything you attract into your experience is a vibrational match to the average signal you have been sending out. If you will get into the mind frame that everything is a match to your signal, then you will no longer blame others if something less-than-great comes into your life. Instead, just say <strong><em>&#8220;that&#8217;s a match&#8221;</em></strong> and go on about your business. Likewise, when great things happen to you, say &#8220;that&#8217;s a match&#8221; also. It&#8217;s great to know that no matter what happens to us, we have personal responsibility for attracting it.</p>
<p>Some might say, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t ask for a car accident, so how did I attract THAT?&#8221; The answer is that <em>you ask with your thoughts AND your feelings</em>, and the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> answers your most practiced vibration with things that match the <em>essence</em> of these feelings. Another way to say this is that you don&#8217;t ask with words much of the time&#8230;you ask with the <em>average tone of how you feel</em>. You can attract a car accident by feeling disconnected, unempowered, angry, unfulfilled, or anything that feels like these vibrations, even if you have occasional dances with bliss and connection.</p>
<p>So the key is, what are you feeling <em>most of the time</em>? Do you choose thoughts that feel good, or do you whip up thoughts that feel bad when you think them? Again, the proof of how you have been feeling, whether you realize it or not, is what shows up as manifestations in your life. Laugh and say &#8220;that&#8217;s a match&#8221; as often as you can. If you don&#8217;t like the match you got from <em>Law of Attraction</em>, reconsider what you have been giving most of your attention to. Shift your attention, and watch as you get a different manifestation in your life. Once you get a handle on how this works, you will be free to create a relationship, money, health, and general prosperity with the creativity and effectiveness of a great artist or an amazing architect. YOU will become the conscious creator of your experience, and then life will become all the more sweeter. Enjoy this most amazing of days!  Be Well, Marie-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/blink.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1489" title="blink" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/blink-293x300.jpg" alt="" width="293" height="300" /></a>No too long ago I read a book by Macolm Gladwell called &#8220;<a title="Blink by Malcom Gladwell" href="http://www.gladwell.com/blink/index.html" target="_blank">Blink</a>.&#8221; This book examines the information we receive in the first two seconds we meet someone, see something, interact with something, or experience something new. He talks about how we receive every relevant aspect of information that we need to know about a situation in two seconds or less, or in the time it takes to <em>blink</em>. While Gladwell doesn&#8217;t like the term &#8220;intuition&#8221; and consciously avoids the term in his book, I like the term and I think his ideas can absolutely be linked to a discussion of intuition. The dictionary defines intuition this way:</p>
<p><strong>intuition</strong> |ˌint(y)oōˈi sh ən|<br />
noun<br />
the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning : <em>we shall allow our intuition to guide us.</em><br />
• a thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning : <em>your insights and intuitions as a native speaker are positively sought.</em></p>
<p>Intuition is the path through which information can be received without excessive interference by the Ego. Have you ever noticed that if you think too much about anything, you can either talk yourself into or out of doing it? In the process of thinking too much, you may doubt your decision and start avoiding making any decision at all? Likewise, how many times have you been struck in the moment by a feeling that feels absolutely right&#8230;and a desire to move ahead in full connection? I think that everything we need to know IS there for us to discover in the exact moment we need it. I believe that intuition is always present to guide us through the day. If we choose to hear it and act upon it, I think we have an opportunity to live a connected, magical and spontaneous life.</p>
<p>The <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> is connected to intuition, of course. When you ask through your constant vibration of living, the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> lines you up with people and events that match your present point of attraction. But the <em>Law of Attraction</em> is also gently nudging you toward more and more fulfillment too, and is helping you move toward the things you want. For example, if you are asking for more peace and quiet, and you are traveling by plane, you will encounter (potentially) things that are not peaceful nor quiet in your day. However, if you have been relaxing and allowing yourself to be centered, and if you are willing to listen to your intuition, magic is possible. You may be walking through the terminal and your intuition tells you to take a certain route to the gate&#8230;you listen and take the route&#8230;and you experience a nice, peaceful walk to the gate. Little did you know that there was a person arguing with their friend along the other route that you didn&#8217;t take, and that experience was not part of your experience because of your decision to follow your intuition in the first second you heard it. You may have an intuition to change your seat at check in (or not to change it) and then find yourself surrounded by quiet, pleasant people, rather than unhappy people or loud crying infants.</p>
<p>Trusting your intuition can be a challenge, but the more you do it, the better you get at it. Get &#8220;In To&#8221; your life with a closer walk with your own intuition. Play with it and see how it works for you. Be easy about it and enjoy the gifts you will be led toward&#8230;and be sure to notice the wonderful gifts you are given. Be <strong><em>grateful</em></strong> and <strong><em>appreciative</em></strong>, and enjoy this most amazing day. Chris-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/choose-love.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1452" title="choose-love" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/choose-love-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a>I was thinking this morning about the phrase &#8220;<em>as if your life depended on it</em>,&#8221; like when someone says &#8220;<em>run as if your life depends on it</em>.&#8221; It has several angles worth examining. When you say that your life depends on something, it tends to get your attention. With attention comes focus, and through focus we get clarity. When you are clear about what you want, it is easier to become aligned with an idea. When you are aligned, the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> does it&#8217;s magic and brings more things to you that are a match to the alignment you have created. So anything that gets your attention can be of benefit to your progress as you create a deliberate life of bliss and connection.</p>
<p>But does your life really depend on something for its existence? Aren&#8217;t we eternal beings? Surely we will all make a transition someday back into <em>pure, positive energy</em>. But that won&#8217;t be an end, it will just be another transition in an ever-unfolding <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> of expansion. So if we fear death as an end, it can certainly get our attention and give us focus and motivation&#8230;but it may cause us to chase our connection to <em><strong>Source</strong></em> from a disconnected, fear-based focus. So I don&#8217;t recommend creating focus through fear. So the phrase, &#8220;<em>live as if your life depended on it</em>&#8221; seems less helpful from this perspective.</p>
<p>So this morning I am using the following phrase to focus my attention to my <strong><em>wellbeing</em></strong>: &#8220;Today I <strong>live</strong> as if my <strong>love</strong> depends on it!&#8221; I am an eternal being. My life is assured. The only real question I have today, then, is whether or not I am allowing my full connection to <em><strong>Source Energy</strong></em> (Love) or not. When I live as if my <em>love</em> depends on it, I take a focused look at how I feel today, knowing that I can open in love, or I can turn from love and be closed off from it. When I choose thoughts that feel good as I think them&#8230;thoughts of <strong><em>gratitude</em></strong>, <strong><em>appreciation</em></strong>, <em>wellbeing</em>, etc., I open up my consciousness to higher and higher (better feeling) vibrations. I become a conduit of love and connection. I uplift everyone in my experience (even through cyberspace).</p>
<p>Choose today to pay attention to how you feel, and see if you can allow more love into your vibration. Love yourself first, and then let that love radiate out everywhere you go, into every interaction you have. Love your day, love your cup of coffee, love your job, and love everyone you come into contact with. Your life doesn&#8217;t depend on it, but <em>your love does</em>. Live in love today. Enjoy this most amazing day. Chris-GP</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I have to say, it is way more fun to work on a puzzle than it is to watch someone else work on a puzzle.I suppose that is a good analogy for life as well: it's so much fun to be a thriving part of an expanding and fulfilling life than it is to watch someone else thriving and expanding. Luckily, we all get to choose how our life expands through the Law of Attraction, and if there is something we want, we need only give our full attention to it and allow it into our experience. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/steel_puzzle_sphere_2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1443" title="steel_puzzle_sphere_2" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/steel_puzzle_sphere_2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>This summer I did something I haven&#8217;t done in years. I was visiting family and there was a large puzzle on the kitchen table in the process of being completed. Working on a puzzle looks so boring, and I hardly consider it as an activity worth spending time on. But I was on vacation, and I really wanted to spend time with family members, so I started working on the puzzle with them. I have to say, it is way more fun to work on a puzzle than it is to <em>watch</em> someone else work on a puzzle.</p>
<p>I suppose that is a good analogy for life as well: it&#8217;s so much fun to be a thriving part of an expanding and fulfilling life than it is to watch someone else thriving and expanding. Luckily, we all get to choose how our life expands through the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>, and if there is something we want, we need only give our full attention to it and allow it into our experience. There is another great parallel to life and a puzzle: <em>if you do the whole puzzle in anticipation of how you will feel when you put the last piece in place, you will have a lot of hard work for a small payoff at the end.</em> And most likely, like life, you probably won&#8217;t feel a huge thrill when the last piece is in place&#8230;it will feel like the next logical step, and you will probably be ready for another puzzle. The trick is <em>enjoying the process</em> of putting it together, and having lots of little thrills along the way to enjoy, knowing that the end is not the goal.</p>
<p><strong>If you live your life like a beautiful puzzle, there will be some immediate advantages to you. Here are some that come to me this morning:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>You know you are making something beautiful.</li>
<li> You have many triumphs along the way.</li>
<li>Small roadblocks release into times of great progress, as you find a section of pieces that fit together.</li>
<li>You know that there is order to it all, and you can relax into full awareness that all is well, and that everything you need is provided.</li>
<li>You have a job: to find the next piece. Your job is not to finish it all with the next piece, nor could you if you tried to.</li>
<li>With every piece added, the whole scene gets more and more beautiful.</li>
<li>Problems (pieces not found) on one day get a new perspective on another day, and you &#8220;see&#8221; things you missed the previous day.</li>
<li>Others can help you see things you were missing as well.</li>
<li>You don&#8217;t try to force pieces that look close but don&#8217;t fit, but rather you relax and know that the right piece is out there to complete your perfect image.</li>
<li>On some level you realize that it&#8217;s really just a game. It&#8217;s probably not your first or last puzzle, so there is no rush to complete it so that you can be deserving. You are exactly in the right place at the right time, right now&#8230;doing today&#8217;s puzzle.</li>
</ol>
<p>I hope this makes sense to your broader knowing. Your life is like a beautiful, huge and amazing puzzle. Enjoy the progress you are making right now. Be Well, Marie-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Good-Sleep.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1418" title="Good-Sleep" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Good-Sleep-300x233.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="233" /></a>Every night when you sleep, you emerge into a space where you are very allowing. You receive rest and inspiration. You let go of patterns that you might be keeping (for better or for worse) while you are awake. It is a great time to recharge. I have a technique that I have used for years to make that subconscious time even more valuable to your waking vibration: I say a short, allowing affirmation to myself before I fall asleep each night. It&#8217;s easy to do, takes almost no time, and you will feel the effects of it as soon as the next morning. Here&#8217;s what you do:</p>
<p>Lie quietly in your bed and close your eyes. You should be ready to drift to sleep. Create a <em>present-tense statement</em> that reflects something you are going to receive while you sleep. Let it be one sentence that feels <em>good</em> when you say it. If it is job related, you could say: &#8220;My co-workers always enjoy my leadership, and we are a fantastic team.&#8221; If it is prosperity related, you could say: &#8220;Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.&#8221; If you are wanting more friends, you might say: &#8220;I&#8217;m always in the right place at the right time to meet new and interesting friends.&#8221; You get the idea.</p>
<p>Now, what you do is you say the statement to yourself, in your mind, while <em>feeling the truth of the statement</em>. Have no doubt that you are allowing this thing to be attracted to you through the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>. The first time you say the statement, emphasize EVERY word, and feel each word as a confirmation of the thing you are allowing. See each word in your mind. For example, if you use the statement for prosperity above, it might flash through your mind like this:</p>
<p><strong>MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS </strong></p>
<p>Feel the truth of this statement. It is coming to you in this moment. Then, say it again emphasizing only the first word:</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">MONEY</span> and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.</strong></p>
<p>Again, feel deeply the truth of this statement. It is coming to you <em>in this moment</em>. Then, say it again emphasizing only the second word:</p>
<p><strong>Money <span style="text-decoration: underline;">AND</span> abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.</strong></p>
<p>Continue<strong> </strong>in this pattern until you emphasize each word of the affirmation in order. Finally, emphasize the whole sentence again. The whole sequence would look like this:</p>
<p><strong>MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS!</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">MONEY</span> and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts! </strong></p>
<p><strong>Money <span style="text-decoration: underline;">AND</span> abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Money and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">ABUNDANCE</span> flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Money and abundance <span style="text-decoration: underline;">FLOW</span> to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Money and abundance flow <span style="text-decoration: underline;">TO</span> me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Money and abundance flow to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">ME</span> endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Money and abundance flow to me <span style="text-decoration: underline;">ENDLESSLY</span> in ever-increasing amounts!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Money and abundance flow to me endlessly <span style="text-decoration: underline;">IN</span> ever-increasing amounts!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in <span style="text-decoration: underline;">EVER</span>-increasing amounts!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-<span style="text-decoration: underline;">INCREASING</span> amounts!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing <span style="text-decoration: underline;">AMOUNTS</span>!</strong></p>
<p><strong>MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS!</strong></p>
<p>At this point, relax and enjoy the fact that your mind is focused, your work is done, and your only job is to let the <em>power of sleep</em> do its work while you rest and receive. Look for evidence of the affirmation throughout the whole next day. You will see it. If you like the feeling of the statement, repeat it again for several nights. There is no need to do more than one statement a night. Just do it once and believe in the truth of it. Let the <em>Law of Attraction</em> respond to your asking without you having to &#8220;make it happen.&#8221; Enjoy, allow, receive, be grateful, and rest. Be.Love. Hannya-GP</p>
