Allowing and Resisting

Many people are approaching life, from the flawed premise, that if they work hard and struggle long and pay a big enough price, they will then be rewarded with financial well-being.

And since they do not realize that in their struggle they are denying themselves alignment with the abundance they seek, when the abundance does not come, they attribute it to luck or favoritism that is being directed away from them and toward another.

But there is no luck or favoritism. There is only allowing or resisting, letting in or keeping out the abundance that you deserve.

As you gradually train your own thoughts into those of positive expectation, as you align with thoughts of worthiness and Well-Being, as you align with your true power by seeking good-feeling thoughts—you will no longer offer resistance to your own abundance.

And when your resistance stops, your abundance will come. A flood of good-feeling ideas and possibilities will flow to you.

Opportunities and propositions will be plentiful. And soon you will stand in knowing amusement that all of this was always there within your reach, but in your resistant state of attraction, you were not yet able to experience it . . . but then, it came—not because of your struggle but because of your ease.

We must never despair; our situation has been compromising before; and it changed for the better; so I trust it will again.

If difficulties arise; we must put forth new exertion and proportion our efforts to the exigencies of the times.

- George Washington

The theme for today is to find happiness right now, at this very moment.

Own that peace within you. Everyone is owning a kingdom.

~ Dr. Pillai

Never mind what-is.

Imagine it the way you want it to be, so that your vibration is a match to your desire.

When your vibration is a match to your desire, all things in your experience will gravitate to meet that match every time.

If you have a subject that makes you uncomfortable when you think about it, it means there is strong desire related to it.

Which means it really, really, really matters.

So finding a way to think about it and feel good is your work.

But it is equally effective to think about anything else and feel good, and let it in.

You don't have to think about money in order to let in money. You just can't think about lack of money, to let in money

Be glad that you don't have instant manifestation.

This buffer of time is really your friend.

It's your opportunity to observe and to ponder and to visualize, and to remember.

It's your opportunity to take an Emotional Journey that might be different from what you're actually observing.

Building a healthy personality involves understanding yourself and your feelings.


Let the Light Shine In

This is achieved through the simple exercise of self-disclosure. For you to truly understand yourself, or to stop being troubled by things that may have happened in your past, you must be able to disclose yourself to at least one person.

You have to be able to get those things off your chest. You must rid yourself of those thoughts and feelings by revealing them to someone who won’t make you feel guilty or ashamed for what has happened.


Understand What Makes You Tick

The second part of personality development follows from self-disclosure, and it’s called self-awareness. Only when you can disclose what you’re truly thinking and feeling to someone else can you become aware of those thoughts and emotions

If the other person simply listens to you without commenting or criticizing, you have the opportunity to become more aware of the person you are and why you do the things you do. You begin to develop perspective, or what the Buddhists call “detachment.”


Be Honest With Yourself

Now we come to the good part. After you’ve gone through self-disclosure to self-awareness, you arrive at self-acceptance. You accept yourself for the person you are, with good points and bad points, with strengths and weaknesses, and with the normal frailties of a human being.

When you develop the ability to stand back and look at yourself honestly, and to candidly admit to others that you may not be perfect but you’re all you’ve got, you start to enjoy a heightened sense of self-acceptance.

Do An Inventory of Your Accomplishments

A valuable exercise for developing higher levels of self-acceptance involves doing an inventory of yourself. In doing this inventory, your job is to accentuate the positive and minimize the negative.

Think of your unique talents and abilities. Think of your core skills, the things that you do exceptionally well that account for your success in your profession and in your personal life right now.


Think About Your Future

Think about your future possibilities and the fact that your potential is virtually unlimited. You can do what you want to do and go where you want to go.

You can be the person you want to be. You can set large and small goals and make plans and move step-by-step, progressively toward their realization. There are no obstacles to what you can accomplish except the obstacles that you create in your mind.


Action Exercises

Here are three steps you can take immediately to put these ideas into action:

First, sit down with your spouse, or a good friend, and tell him or her about something that is troubling you and is still causing you unhappiness.

Second, develop perspective on your problem by standing back from it and imagining that it was happening to someone else. What advice would you give to that person?

Third, think continually about the good experiences and accomplishments you have enjoyed in the past. Remind yourself regularly that you are a pretty good person and you’ve done a lot of good things in your life.

"Rationalizations are generally convenient evasions of reality and are used as excuses for dishonest behavior, mistakes, and/or laziness."
- Kekich Credo #20

[winston]

Let your alignment (with Well-Being) be first and foremost, and let everything else be secondary.

And not only will you have an eternally joyous journey, but everything you have ever imagined will flow effortlessly into your experience.

There is nothing you cannot be or do or have—but your dominant intent is to be joyful.

The doing and the having, will come into alignment once you get that one down.
