Making Positive Choices From Infinite Possibilities

Published by Other Authors under Life, Spirituality

“You and I are essentially infinite choice makers. In every moment of our existence we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.” ~ Deepak Chopra

I believe that we are spirit travelling incognito as humans; in fact, I wrote a movie about that. The key concept to us, as spirit, is that we are swimming in infinite possibilities on a daily basis (not that time has the same meaning to spirit), and we have to make choices in order to “tangible-ize” our possibilities. Every day, we choose little things, whether to work out, what to eat, who to spend time with and what to work on throughout the day, and big things, like our interpretation of the meaning of life and how we want to show up in the world.

Our job is not necessarily to create opportunities but to decide which ones to pursue. And the hardest part about it is that there are no guarantees – there are only choices.

So how do we know what choices are best for us? A positive choice just feels good. Some part of us knows that it is the right thing to do. It opens up our lives and creates new momentum for the best of us to shine and be recognized, even if only by our own inner fan club. And we know when it’s time to make a new choice when we feel: stuck, tired, sick, confused, negative, fearful, bored, safe, comfortable… and more. We know when it’s time to make a new choice. The question really becomes: are we ready to have something new?

A positive choice moves us forward in some sense (even if it’s hard to do or against the well-intentioned advice of others) because it helps us become more aligned with our true purpose. It’s a choice that is about us, not about anybody else or their wishes or what they can gain by it – it’s truly in our best interest and we have the domain to make the choice at hand. A positive choice sets us up to win – we will gain something, whether it be knowledge, skills or experience, by pushing our growing edge.

3 Things You Can Do:

1. Look at where your growing edge is hiding. Consider where you are too comfy, or anxious, stuck, bored, fearful, negative… any feeling that isn’t absolutely free and flowing is a place where your growing edge for new choices is revealing itself.

2. Look at the results you’ve gotten / are getting. If don’t like the results of your life, which is shown through everything around you, it’s time to be accountable to yourself in a new way. New choices will require you to show up more clearly, in a more focused and powerful way. And how you show up by making new choices will generate new results – it is simple cause and effect. Change the cause (choice), and you change the effect (result).

3. Make a list of all your possibilities. Consider new directions you could be pursuing in the following areas: career/vocation, self-knowledge, family, wealth, reputation, marriage/relationships, communications, creativity, community, health. These possibilities might come from ideas, inspiration, new associations, doing something you’ve been putting off, advice from other people, enjoying a wish list thing… it’s pretty much endless. If you can list at least 3 new directions in these areas off the top of your head, you’ve got some choices to make – or you have to answer to yourself why you’re not decided to make new choices after making that list!

May you enjoy both the swim in infinite possibilities and the results from making positive choices!

So You Want To Win The Lottery

If we all got everything we wanted, most of us would have won the lottery by now. So what happens when we notice that we aren’t getting what we want, even when we’ve been using Law of Attraction to manifest a particular desire for an extended period of time? Wanting to win the lottery is a clear desire, therefore, you need to use Law of Attraction deliberately. If you’re not getting evidence that your desire to win the lottery is manifesting, then you need to review the Law of Attraction formula and check to see if all three conditions for Deliberate Attraction are being met. All desires you may have, for example, attracting an ideal mate, an ideal client base, ideal health or an ideal abundance of money require these same three conditions. Step 1: Clearly identify your desire Step 2: Raise your vibration (Give Your Desire Attention) Step 3: Allow it So let’s examine these three conditions with respect to manifesting a winning lottery ticket. Step 1: Clearly identify your desire (You bought a ticket and you WANT to win.) Step 1 is done. Step 2: Raise your vibration (You talk about and daydream about all the things you’ll do with the money you win.) Step 2 is done. If the only thing we needed to do is Step 1 and Step 2, most people would have everything they’ve ever become excited about. So as you observe that you’ve NOT attracted what you’ve been desiring (in this case, a winning lottery ticket), you’ll need to check the three step process to find out what step needs your attention more often. In most cases it’s Step 3 - Allowing. Allowing is the absence of doubt. Doubt is a negative vibration that cancels out the positive vibration of your desire, so removing doubt will allow your desire to come to you. Removing doubt will speed up the manifestation of your desire. One of the best tools for removing doubt is to start keeping a log or journal of all the ways in which you are attracting more abundance into your life, thus, you are finding proof! Abundance is simply energy and the more often you discover that you are aligned with the energy of abundance, the more often you will be removing doubt that you are Allowing your desire to win the lottery. For example, if you find money or someone buys you lunch or you find a great sale on an item you want to buy-this is all evidence that you are in alignment with abundance. Logging this evidence or tracking it in a journal will help you prove to yourself that you are aligning yourself more and more with abundance. In short, how soon you’ll win the lottery is determined by how much doubt you have about winning, and winning is all about removing that doubt thereby aligning yourself with the energy of abundance.

Law of Attraction and Diseases and Handicaps: Attraction as Well?

Published by Other Authors under Law of Attraction

Recently I was approached by a fellow coach from the UK, and her question was –paraphrased- this: if the Law of Attraction (LOA) always works, how come that some seemingly happy people still contract (fatal) illnesses, and how come that some children are born mentally or physically handicapped? Have these people “attracted” (as in the LOA) these events? And if so, why have they done that?

My belief is that we attract everything we experience. All the people, situations, events, emotions and thoughts are coming to us because of LOA. A fact is that we all vibrate (ask the quantum scientists!). A fact is also that like vibrations attract like vibration like iron filings to a magnet. Given these facts, I choose to believe that yes, even illnesses and disabilities are attracted by us because of the vibration we emit.

I totally realize that this can be a hard thing to swallow for the people who go through these situations. There are a couple of things I would like you to realize in this context:

• LOA doesn’t discriminate between “good” or “bad” vibrations. It just matches the vibration we put out there. “Good” and “bad” are judgments WE make about what’s happening, depending on our personal beliefs. What’s good for one is lousy for another, and vice versa. Generally we tend to think of illnesses and disabilities as “bad”, but that is OUR value we put on it.
• We generally DO NOT put out vibrations intentionally, on purpose –learning how to vibrate deliberately is what I teach! So even though things may seem to go okay, there is always a chance of unconscious attraction, based upon underground collective beliefs, cultural beliefs, genetic beliefs, community beliefs, national beliefs, etc. Again, these vibes can be positive or negative, but we’ll only know when the “event” or “experience” shows up.
• There is no “REASON WHY” per se. There can only be a why depending on our ideas about our purpose in life. And what we perceive to be our purpose on earth is such a personal topic that generalize answers to the “why does this happen” question can not be given. It will be different for each and every person.

Our task with scenarios like the ones my fellow coach mentioned is two-fold:

• Always endeavour to consciously have as high a vibration as possible. The higher your vibrations (or in plain English: the better you feel, and the more positive you approach life), the less likely the chance that you will subconsciously attract something you do not want to happen. I can teach you how to do that.
• When an event occurs that you consider “negative” (remember: that is YOUR judgment), have as much conscious control over your response to the situation. In life we cannot control everything. Life WILL throw curve balls, even when you think you are vibrating/feeling great. Your power then lies in your “response-ability”, and your conscious choice to see the situation either as positive or negative. LOA doesn’t care which choice you make, but I’ll bet ya: the end results of both options are like day and night: totally opposite! I can help you making the right choices consistently.

Set a Landmarc:

• Observe your feelings as good as you can: you are always vibrating, and your vibrations are always plus or minus. Your feelings will tell you what you are attracting.
• When you are vibrating minus, realize that it probably happened subconsciously, and that you can change that vibration.
• Don’t go into the “why” question too deeply. Like in the quote on top, there is a purpose in everything, but if you cannot find it yet, let it go!
• Your power lies in your response-ability. If you feel you don’t have any control over what happened, at least choose your response as positively as possible.

We cannot avoid “stuff” from happening in our lives. There is always a possibility of attracting something we do not want. Accept that, and in those cases, be in control over how you deal with that situation. The better you do that, the less bad the situation will become.
