The thought that you think, you think, which attracts to it; so you think it some more, which attracts to it; so you think it some more. In other words, when you have an expectation, you’ve got a dominant thought going on, and Law of Attraction is going to deliver that to you again, and again and again. And you say “The reason that I believe this, is because it is true.” And we say, the reason that you believe it, is because you’ve practiced the thought. All that a belief is, is a thought that you keep practicing.

“If you have the ability to imagine it, or even to think about it, this Universe has the ability and the resources to deliver it fully unto you.”
~Abraham-Hicks
Wow. I love that.
If you don’t believe Esther and Jerry, how about Emerson (see Notes)? “There’s nothing capricious in nature, and the implanting of a desire indicates that its gratification is in the constitution of the creature that feels it.”
If you want to read those a couple more times, that’s cool. I’ll just wait here till you’re ready to go on.
So, if you’re taking notes, it goes something like this:
1. Get clear on what you want.
2. Know that you wouldn’t have the desire if you/the Universe didn’t have the ability to bring it to life.
3. Joyously and enthusiastically do the next little thing in front of you.
—>—> Diligently, patently, persistently follow 1, 2 & 3, and you’re bound to be successful!

- Become aware. Notice when your thoughts, words and actions are incongruent. We don’t help each other when we think and feel one way and then say something different.
- Acknowledge your feelings. Be honest about your own feelings to yourself. Are you feeling uncomfortable, fidgety or fearful about speaking up?
- Question your motives and costs. Why am I “editing” my thoughts? What am I afraid of? What am I avoiding dealing with by not being clear and direct? What is my pay-off for avoiding the truth? What is this “costing” me?
- Remove the word “should” from your vocabulary. Consider where your values–your “shoulds”–come from. “Shoulds” work against self-acceptance and bring guilt. Replace your “shoulds” with “will,” “choose” or “must.”
- Say “No” instead of “No problem.” When you start to respect your time and energy, it’s amazing how other people will too. Let go of your fears and simply speak your truth. You have the right to say no without feeling guilty.
- Be clear and direct: When you ask clearly and directly for what you want, you eliminate manipulative behavior. Instead of going on and on about what you don’t want, simply state the behavior or action you would like to see happen.
- Go to the source. Deliver your message to the person for whom it is intended. If you want to tell Karen something, tell Karen. It’s more respectful to deal with someone one on one than to spend hours talking about them behind their back.
- Own your message. You can acknowledge ownership with personalized (“I”) statements such as “I don’t agree with you” (as compared to “You’re wrong”) or “I’d like you to be on time.” (as compared to “You really should be on time, you know”).
- Practice: Practice speaking your truth every day. As time goes by it will feel more natural. You may be uncomfortable, but it’s the results you’re after.
- Respect: Remember that you don’t have to trample another person’s feelings to express your own. You’ll be amazed at the capacity people have to hear the truth when it’s communicated from your heart.

“If we could learn to live from the level of the soul, we would see that the best, most luminous part of ourselves is connected to all the rhythms of the universe. We would truly know ourselves as the miracle-makers we are capable of being. We would lose fear, and longing, and hatred, and anxiety, and hesitation. Living from the level of the soul means diving past the ego, past the limitations of the mind that harness us to events and outcomes in the physical world.”
~Deepak Chopra
That’s amazing.
I can’t think of anything more important than learning “to live from the level of the soul.” We need to take every opportunity to move through our fears. Why? Because we need to take action NOW and not get caught up in hesitation?
Fact is, most of our hatred and anxiety stem from our own unfulfilled creative impulses.
And the moment we truly commit to giving ourselves most fully—moving through our fears and doing the next little thing in front of us WITHOUT hesitation, a funny thing happens…We find ourselves living from soul. And the fears and anxieties and competitive energies we found ourselves consumed by yesterday feel so foreign to who we are now.
Guess what happens when we let fear creep back in? When we hesitate to take the action our intuition is guiding us to take, then the anxiety, the hatred, the disconnection steps back in.
So, my question: What can you do THIS MOMENT (!!) (and the next and the next…) to live from your soul? Please do that. I’ll be here when you get back.

Here’s how it works. You’ve been given clues to your purpose throughout your entire life. You have your own completely unique gifts, talents, interests, strengths, and qualities –and you are meant to use them. The things that bring you the greatest joy in life and make you feel really alive are another clue to your purpose. So, what it boils down to is really quite simple: you are meant to do what brings you joy, and your gifts and talents are meant to be your contribution to the world. A life lived with purpose and intention is one that will honor and nourish your spirit on the deepest level while simultaneously contributing to the world around you.

There once was a farmer who owned a large farm, with orchards and grain fields and gardens and was counted as a wealthy and a happy man. [Happy because he was wealthy and wealthy because he was contented.]
One day a Buddhist monk visited him and told him of the discovery of diamonds in Europe. He said that the diamonds are so very valuable there that if he had a handful he could buy the whole country, and with a mine of diamonds, he could place his children upon thrones, through the influence of their great wealth.
The next day the farmer sold his farm and with the money he left his family and traveled all over Europe.
He looked everywhere that he had heard of any indication of such gems but finding none, he spent all his money and became very poor, in rags, in poverty, and in hunger. And at last, in despair, he flung himself into the sea and sank from sight, never to rise again.
The farmers successor—the man who bought his farm —one day discovered a diamond in the stream. As he continued to look, he realized that right there under the house and the orchards was the most magnificent diamond mine in all the history of the world.
“Had the farmer remained at home and dug in his own cellar, or underneath his own wheat fields, or in his own garden, instead of wretchedness, starvation, poverty, and suicide in a strange land, he would have had acres of diamonds!”

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family.
He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.
When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “my gift to you.”
What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that we would have done it differently.
Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, “Life is a do-it-yourself project.” Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.

“The most important codes in life may be the ones you discover. These are the hidden messages floating about you just waiting for you to decipher them, to become aware of them. Higher Power is sending each of us messages every minute of every day. It’s our destiny to decipher them. Crack these codes and the world is yours.
Higher Power has a mission for you, if you choose to accept it. First you’ve got to find it. Flipping through the channels of life’s everyday transmissions, you vaguely sense that there is something BIG that you’re supposed to be doing with your life. You feel that something is missing in the equation of your life, yet you’re not quite sure what. If has something to do with peace and happiness and making a difference. And prosperity. YES. Lots of prosperity. You were meant to be on TV, not watching TV! The secrets are hidden right in front of you if you could just decode them.”

The happiest and most successful women:
- Don’t agonize over who they aren’t—they accept and act on who they are. They have discovered the role they were born to play and they play it.
- Don’t juggle—they catch-and-cradle. They don’t keep things at bay, but select a few things and draw them in close.
- Don’t strive for balance—they strive for fullness. They intentionally imbalance their lives toward those moments that make them feel strong.
- Always sweat the small stuff—They know and act on the specific details of what invigorates them (and they let go of what doesn’t strengthen them).
