Why would we measure our Self-worth….On what someone else thinks of us???

whoareyou
Of course, it’s wonderful when people are looking at us favorably, but if we are requiring this from every person we come into contact with, we will have to become very good at working out how others would like us to behave in order to ensure their approval of us.
Some may say, “What’s wrong with that?” And I say, nothing is essentially wrong with wanting positive interactions with others and for them to like us, as long as we are not doing anything that goes against who we really are to achieve it.
That brings up an interesting question, is it more important for me to be true to myself and what I believe in, or is it more important for me to gain the approval of others at the cost of going against my own beliefs? (or do I have a belief that goes something like “if people don’t like me, there must be something wrong with me?”)

Although every situation we encounter is different, and we will make our own assessment of what we feel is best for us at that moment, it would be true to say, if many of our interactions are based on doing whatever it takes to gain another’s approval, we can become “temporarily lost” and forget who we really are. By that I mean, we now may be substituting our own Inner Guidance that is directing us through our emotions to all we are wanting, for someone else’s Inner Guidance that is leading them through their emotions to everything they are wanting! Now, unless we’re wanting exactly the same things, have experienced the same circumstances and have come to the same conclusions and beliefs about life….I think it’s quite clear to see no other is better equipped with better Inner Guidance than ourselves, to know what’s best for us.

I say “temporarily lost,” because it’s not possible to completely disconnect from who we really are for any great length of time, sooner or later we always return to that knowing place.
The question isn’t will we return to the full understanding and knowing of who we really are, the question is….How long will we hold ourselves apart from our blended all-knowing Non-Physical perspective, through our own negative contemplation?
Alignment with our Non-Physical counterpart happens when we make our transition from this Physical life and body, but we do not need to wait for this to happen to achieve the blending or alignment of the Physical and Non-Physical together.
If we become sensitive to how we are feeling and do our best to move into the best feeling place we can, it’s only a matter of time before we find ourselves in alignment with who we really are while we’re still in this physical body, and it is so good!!

To begin with it may only be for short moments that we feel this alignment, but as we continue to feel generally better in our life and make an effort to focus on the best that life has to offer, this starts to become our normal vibrational place to be in, and one can find themselves in a very good feeling place for extended periods of time….For no good reason at all!!

Alignment is achieved when the Physical here and now part of us and the Non-Physical part of us are in complete agreement in relation to whatever we are giving our attention to now.
For example, if I am looking at someone and feeling strong negative emotion, this indicates the Non-Physical part of me is thinking something very different to what I am currently thinking, for if I was in alignment with what the Non-Physical part of me was thinking, I would be feeling positive emotion.
So what should I do? Should I try to conjure some feelings of love for this person I am clearly not loving much? I say, “No way,” it cannot be done in a few moments, for it’s virtually impossible to go from strong dislike to liking or loving instantly….Have you tried?

It’s better, or in our best interests to accept the way we feel rather than deny it, and to put our focus on something else if we feel unable to move to a better feeling place rather than trying to “fake it,” because it’s not possible to truly hide how we really feel anyway.

Another option is to just “turn the other cheek” so to speak, look away from that which makes you feel not good, especially if you don’t feel like you can continue to observe without improving your thought. Not much benefit comes from focusing our attention on unwanted circumstances without making an effort to move to a better feeling vibrational place, especially if it’s for an extended period of time….And by “an extended period of time,” I mean anything over about 20 seconds!!!
I know this may seem like a very short amount of time, but this is all it takes before the Law of Attraction will respond to our thought vibrations and give us access to more thoughts of a similar nature, and as we think and focus longer, another thought, and another and another will become more easily available to us, and with enough time and focus that produces intensity of emotion, we will attract physical manifestations that match the dominant vibrations (thoughts and feelings) within us. Very good when we’re focused in the direction of what we are wanting to experience wouldn’t you say?

All I can say is, you do not need others approval to feel worthy, and when we start to access the Inner Guidance we were born with, we start to feel a worthiness that no external circumstances or person can provide….
It comes from knowing “who we really are,” and feeling the absolute power we have to create what we are wanting in our own lives….

And so it is….

Could “Whatever”…be the best word in the world???

OrangeSky
This is a good follow-on from “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” since it is a word our children often love to use, much to the disgust of many parents I’m sure!!
So I totally get it, it can be extremely frustrating when you’re trying to communicate with someone and all they offer you as a response is “whatever” with a lot of attitude. (Yep, I’ve had that comment given to me more times than I care to remember, but I probably need to add I love to use it myself too….Hehehe!!)
But what does someone usually mean when they say this, beyond trying to annoy the living daylights out of us!!

It’s a way of saying, “I don’t agree with what you are saying right now, and I don’t like it, and I know if I try to communicate anything to you….it’s just going to get ugly cause I’m pretty sure you’re not in a place to hear anything I’ve got to say about it, so I’ll sort of keep the peace, or more to the point, keep quite otherwise I may receive some consequences I’m not wanting, but I want you to know how I feel anyway!!”

Oh, that’s pretty good don’t you think….That’s a lot to convey in just one word, but that’s totally what it does.

So I think it can be good in the sense our children are not just accepting everything others are telling them just because we’ve been in a physical body longer than they have, and although this can make you want to pull your hair out and scream, it is a very positive aspect of who they really are coming through.

Many children coming forward from Non-Physical in these times are very strong-willed and not easily lead away from what they are wanting by others, or what they are believing is good for them.
Now I understand this makes for some very challenging times, especially if we are wanting them to follow all the rules we may have followed when we were growing up, and I would go as far to say, if this is what we are trying to impose on our children, it’s very likely this will cause extreme behaviours until we learn to communicate with them in a way that includes them in the decisions we make, rather than dictating everything to them without seeking their opinions and ideas.

I like to think of it as more of a collaboration rather than a dictatorship style of communicating, and to tell you the truth, from what I see, most of us are doing a pretty good job considering the vast difference from the way many of us were brought up.

So maybe this word isn’t as bad as what some of us may have thought?
For when our children grow-up and leave the nest, if they have learnt to just follow everything someone else says, they can be lost when they’re on their own.
Of course they usually find their way, but why would we make things harder for them than they need to be? Encouraging good communication, problem solving, respect for others, and the ability to change as the circumstances may require are totally awesome skills to teach and be an example of!

It’s very interesting to ponder…. “Who’s teaching who?”
I can only speak from my own personal experiences, when I tell you, through having to learn new and improved ways of interacting with my children in a positive manner, I have become a better person….And I can only hope they learn as much good stuff about themselves from me, as I have learnt from them….

And so it is….

The harder you try to persuade people to your way of thinking….the less likely they are to agree with you!!

NorthernLights
This is mostly true. When we try to persuade others to our way of thinking by making them wrong for their thinking, this almost never produces our desired result of their agreement with “our” point of view.
No one likes to be told what to do or think or that what they’re doing and thinking is wrong, because as I’ve said previously, what we’re doing or thinking is neither right or wrong, “It just is.”

Deep within, we know we’ve come forward into this current life to observe and explore many different circumstances that produce and inspire desires from our experiences that helps us come to strong and powerful decisions of what we would like to experience in our life as we move forward through time.

It’s often true that when communicating with others, if our beliefs and opinions sit in strongly opposing directions, communication can become negative and confrontational as it’s very difficult to find any common ground if we hold vastly differing points of view.
In these circumstance, it’s better to acknowledge we all have different perspectives and beliefs about life based on what we have already experienced and what we are still wanting to experience and let the need to justify or persuade others go.
It’s also very unlikely that we will be able to eradicate all that someone has come to know through the living of their own life experiences that has brought them to what they currently think and believe by telling them what beliefs we have come to through the living of our life experiences.(can you see the futility of even trying?)
Speaking about our differing points of views in a positive and understanding way can definitely give others “food for thought” so to speak, and makes for thought-provoking conversation without the need to argue. Words spoken by others can often spark something within us, that when pondered and given attention over time, will start the attraction of that which we have been focusing on, that the Law of Attraction will eventually bring us evidence of.
This is how we come to truly know what we know, and I say, “It is so awesome,” especially if we are focused in the direction of all we are wanting to experience, for words that are spoken by others will never be taken above our own knowing, and that’s the way it should be!!

If we do feel the need to persuade others to our way of thinking, it often comes from many beliefs that may not be in alignment or consistent with the Universal Laws that govern how life is really working.
Here are some examples of beliefs that may prevent us from moving forward in a positive manner.
~If I cannot persuade others to my way of thinking, they may behave in a way (in my opinion) I feel is not “right or good” and may even do something that threatens my “way of life!” Well,….Uhmmm…if this a belief we hold strongly, we will attract people, places and circumstances that gives us evidence of this, which is not that awesome….If you know what I mean….
~It’s more important for me to be right and make this person I am speaking with understand how “wrong they are” about everything they know in relation to this subject! Uhmmm….Right, I’d like to know if anyone reading this has been talked into the “error of their ways,” by someone who is more interested in feeling right or superior to whom ever they’re talking to….Not likely. This usually just makes us sit more firmly where we are as we justify all the reasons why we believe what we believe.
~It’s important that whomever I’m talking to understands completely where I’m coming from, and agrees with the conclusions I have come to about…. Well, this can definitely happen when we are sitting in close vibrational vicinity with whoever we’re talking with, and is generally enjoyable communication as we will usually find we’ll have similar core beliefs about life.
Whether our beliefs sit far apart from each other or more closely together, we will all have differences of opinion, and this is a good thing, for what would the purpose of life be if we were all the same??
Nothing new would ever need to be created because we would all like the same things! It’s easy to see this is an absolutely ridiculous scenario that could never truly exist. We did not come forward for sameness, or to be told by everyone else, how we should live our life.

We can be true to who we are, while letting others be true to who they are by knowing we have all come forward with different intentions, and that everyone has the right to live their life in the way they choose.
If we are focused on what we are wanting to experience rather than what others are saying or doing that we don’t agree with, we will be attracting an abundance of what we are wanting into our life. We will not be seeing much evidence of people doing things we are not wanting to see and experience, not because it isn’t happening, because it’s all “out there,” we will be seeing what we are predominantly vibrating (that which we’re thinking and feeling strongly about)
Which really is awesome if we’re doing our best to focus and move to a better feeling vibrational place in relation to whatever we’re currently experiencing and wanting!!

And so it is….

Why would we ask….For everyone else’s opinion???

TreeLanterns
I am not necessarily saying asking for others opinions about something is right or wrong, but it is an indication of where we are in relation to what we’re asking about.
The most important factor to consider when we’re asking for an opinion from someone else is, what is our reason for asking, and how are we feeling about the subject we’re asking about.
For example, are we generally exchanging ideas in a progressive conversation without any premeditated ideas or the need of getting others opinions on a specific subject? I would consider this mostly positive, good feeling communication with the exchanging of many ideas and opinions on many different subjects, and although we may be listening to many different opinions, we are not coming from a place of unknowingness, but more from a place of interest.
During these conversations, we may hear many things that inspire us to find out more about what we have talked about.
If we are coming from a not so good vibrational place of unknowingness, or we feel a need to know what others think in order to come to our own decision or opinion, this is often not so positive.
Why?
If our vibrational feelings are strongly directed towards not knowing and unsureness, if we have a decent amount of power and momentum behind these feelings through our focused thoughts, the Law of Attraction responds in-kind to our vibration with manifestational evidence of what is pulsing strongly within us, often increasing our feelings of not knowing where we sit with our own opinion and usually just confuses us more!! A strong negative feeling of not knowing what to think or do brings you more feelings of the same. (although over time, if we do not move to a better feeling place, the strength of the emotions we’re feeling often increase)
Yes, it is true, and all of us feel unsure about things in our lives at one time or another, but for some that feel unsure in many areas of their life, it can become very difficult to make a decision about anything.
Sometimes it’s a specific subject that we may hold some resistance to or about, that we attempt to get many people’s opinion on?
But even if the information we gain is good and positive, we just don’t know it and usually continue to look for more information that will make us feel better. This can become a cycle until we finally realise we could ask a million people their opinion and we still wouldn’t know what to do.
This is when we need to find our inner strength and decide we might as well go with what we think we should do and feel as good as we can about whatever decision we do make, for other people’s opinions are exactly that; a conclusion one has come to based on what they are wanting and what they have experienced so far in their own life. (which often doesn’t have a lot to do with your life, where you are, and what you are wanting)
We may learn from, and ponder information given to us from others, but ultimately only we know how we feel and what we are wanting, so it’s important to come to our own opinions and make our own decisions, for no other is in a better position than us, to make our decisions!

And so it is….

Never say never…..Why not???

Moon
Well, we are all free to say whatever we wish to say of course, but what I’m getting at here is the deeper truth this saying “Never say never” reveals.
It would be likely that this saying may have come from people saying “I would never do this or do that,” but then unfortunately found themselves at some point in their future experience doing exactly what they had proclaimed they would never do!
So one could say it’s a slightly superstitious saying, in the sense “be careful, don’t say that” in case later, it “magically” turns up in your life?

So that brings us to an interesting point, can something turn up just because you say you don’t want it to?
Well, that depends entirely on how strong our negative emotion is when we are speaking about something we don’t want. And if we are using the word “never” this is a fairly strong indication of where we’re sitting vibrationally in relation to whatever we’re talking about, for we would not use this word if we did not have resistance towards…..Whatever the subject is.
What do I mean by resistance?
Resistance is the act of resisting, opposing, or pushing against, that hinders or prevents our motion forward, towards what we are wanting.
For example, if I am wanting to experience something I am not yet experiencing…..When I think about this, what are the strongest thoughts within me? In truth, it’s usually a mixture of both resistant negative thoughts and non-resistant positive thoughts that would make up our general vibrational place on any subject, but whatever thoughts are more dominant and receiving more air-time so to speak, through focused attention, will be what is predominantly manifesting and turning up in our experience.
So what is manifesting in our reality is always an indication of what we have been doing with our thoughts, and we always know in which direction our thoughts are creating by noticing how we’re feeling when we think a thought. Negative emotion moves us towards unwanted circumstances and positive emotion moves us towards wanted experiences.
Monitoring every thought one has, can be enough to drive anyone mentally insane, and can make us fearful of our own thoughts, which in and of itself is a not good feeling place, so it’s easier to take a more relaxed attitude and just notice how we’re feeling and do our best to feel a little bit better than where we currently are, especially if our feelings are strongly negative.
Don’t let me give you the impression feeling negative emotion is “bad” it is not, what it is, is very important communication from the Non-Physical, eternal part of us, letting us know exactly where we are in relation to what we’re currently thinking about and what we’re really wanting.
No one likes experiencing unwanted circumstances, and the stronger and more unwanted an experience is, usually the more we don’t like it, and hopefully the more “inspired” we are to move to a better feeling place on the subject.
And why would we bother to move ourselves to a better feeling vibrational place?
Because we’re understanding what we’re thinking now, is pre-paving and creating our future experiences?
So our emotions, both positive and negative, are a precursor to our physical manifestations, an indication of what we’ve got going on vibrationally (that we sometimes may not be aware of) And no matter what the subject we may be giving thought to is, we have the absolute ability, with time and effort to feel better and improve our pattern of thought. Once we’ve improved our vibration, (thoughts and feelings) if we continue to maintain our new improved vibrational place, in time it must become our reality, this is Universal Law!

So “never” indicates strong resistance otherwise we would be using different language such as, maybe, sometimes, I’m not sure, probably not, who knows, nah not really, etc.
I’m not saying people shouldn’t say never, I’m just saying what’s happening as we speak in these terms. And as I’ve mentioned before, it’s not about the actual words we may or may not be saying, it’s about the thoughts and feelings behind our words as we speak them.
I have not heard many people use this word without strong emotion behind it….And that emotion is almost always negative.
So “I never want to experience …” means we have a descent amount of negative emotion or resistance towards whatever it is we’re talking about, and depending on how often we give thought to this resistant subject and how strong our negative emotion is in relation to it, will determine if this unwanted circumstance has enough attraction power to manifest in our life?
Exactly how much attracting power, only we would know, if we’re very sensitive to how we are feeling.
But no matter how much power and momentum we have behind any thoughts we’ve had in the past or are having now, it’s possible to gradually move to a better feeling place, no doubt, 100%….

And so it is….

Why would we not tell the truth???

TreeSwing
There maybe millions of reasons why one would not tell the truth, but all these reasons come down to the same core reasons which are;
1. Fearing the possible consequences that may result from telling the truth.
2. Not feeling good enough in some way therefore feeling the need to make oneself sound better in the eyes of others, ultimately for their approval and admiration. Did you notice, this is still fearing the possible consequences of telling the truth, or more to the point, being who you really are.
This is not a very good feeling vibrational place to be in, feeling you must make yourself out to be something other than what you really are to be accepted or loved by others.
If we are coming to truly know who we really are, we would never feel the need to make excuses or not tell the truth to be seen as “acceptable or good” in another’s eyes, for we already have our own approval and acceptance of ourselves as we are, and are not requiring it from others in order to feel good or worthy.
Is it nice if others like us?
Yes, of course it is, but if we require this from every person we come into contact with, we better get very good at knowing exactly what others are wanting and expecting, and start adjusting our behaviour accordingly!
It’s not possible to be liked by every person that may be observing us “out there” for we are all in different vibrational places, meaning everything we observe is filtered through our own personal life experiences that brings us to our own beliefs about life. It’s better to accept we are all different and know it’s not possible to be liked by everyone, and just be our genuine selves!
Others will think what they will think, and whatever they maybe thinking (and remember, what others are exactly thinking is only speculation on our part anyway) is more of a reflection of who and where they are rather than whoever they’re observing or judging is.

If I was considering not telling the truth or doing something that went against what I felt was right so others may possibly like me more, the question I would ask myself would be….
Is it worth not being true to myself and who I really am to get a small fleeting moment of approval from another? Because believe me, it is fleeting and doesn’t last long, unless we’re prepared to do everything and anything we feel others want to get their constant approval, and even then, we cannot guarantee we will achieve it.
Holy Moses, that just sounds so hard, doesn’t it? And I say “for goodness sake, don’t do it!” It’s a way of being that will never ultimately lead anywhere you are wanting to go!

To tell the truth or not is a natural developmental stage we go through when we’re children as the brain starts to grow and mature, and often depending on the many varied experiences we have during our childhood, especially experiences related to how harshly we were disciplined with negative consequences, and whether not telling the truth was a strategy that worked for us, will often effect the choices we make as we grow up to whether we feel it is necessary, or in our best interests, to “tell the truth or not?”.
The reason I prefer to say,”to tell the truth or not,”rather than the word lying or liar, is I find these words to be very harsh and negative and prefer to put a slightly more neutral feeling (vibration) to an already slightly negative subject. I only use the word liar if I have become angry, which I do my very best to avoid, or better said, do my best to move into a better feeling place on before I react in a way I would prefer not too!
Anger or rage is the approximate vibrational place where the word liar usually sits, because think about it, have you heard anyone say, “You’re such a good liar darling, I could just hug you!!” not likely. Hehehe….That’s so funny!!

Ok, but seriously, for me, I know when people are not telling the truth, it oozes out of them like a disease. (dis-ease….Lack of ease!) And I find it very difficult to stay in the presence of one that feels the need to do such things. And to tell you the truth, (as if I wouldn’t…Hehehe) most people are aware and feeling that something is not right when they speak with someone who isn’t telling the truth, something always feels off, not quite right, but we may not be listening to what we are feeling, because of not understanding or knowing what it is that our feelings are telling us, and because it doesn’t feel good to think someone is not telling us the truth. (which is our natural tendency of moving to a better feeling place!)
So in other words, unless we have absolute proof that someone isn’t telling us the truth, it often feels better to discount or ignore the feelings that are being communicated to us, letting us know exactly what others are coming to us with, than to acknowledge they aren’t telling us the truth. The more aware and sensitive we are to how we’re feeling, and the more important it is for us to know if people are being truthful, the stronger our knowing of what the truth is, when we see it, hear it, or touch it.

All I can say is this, if we cannot be ourselves, who else can we be, after all, everyone else is taken.
So if you can only be you, why not be the “real you” and if others don’t like it, that’s their problem, not yours! And be proud of who you are now, because you are here, living your life in the best way you know how….
And as long as you are happy with who and what you are being, that has to be good enough….

And so it is…

Question from Master Eight…. Is it better to listen to other people?

AngelLuke
This is a conversation between me and my eight-year-old son that I recorded and then typed out for this post.
If you’re wondering why it’s because he often asks me the most amazing questions that we’ll have a long conversation about. The last question he had was a few days ago, and at the end of it I said: “I’ve got an awesome idea, we should try recording our conversations and I’ll make a post out of them!” He thought that was a cool idea, so this is a conversation we had today!

For ease of reading, I have edited unnecessary content and very personal circumstances related to the subject we’ve been talking about but feel it’s a truthful representation, most being word for word, of our conversation.

Master Eight-M8, is in Italics.

So what’s your question again Darling?

M8-Is it better to listen to other people?

Compared to what?

M8-Uhm…Uhm…

Compared to what you want to do?

M8-Yes.

So what made you want to know that?

M8-Because I just wanted to know if people should listen to others.

So you want to know if you should listen to other people?

M8-Yes.

Like what other people?

M8-Like you and Daddy, people like that…

So you mean just Mummy and Daddy, not other people, because do you usually listen to other people?

M8-Uhm…uhm…no.

Ok, who would be the other people in your life apart from Mummy and Daddy that you would listen too?

M8-Arghh…Uhm…My teacher at school.

Anyone else….or are you only talking about people you know well?

M8-Yer, not just like people you don’t know that are strangers because if people say things to me and it’s someone I don’t know, I don’t say anything and I just don’t listen to them.

That’s a good idea, it’s not good to listen to people you don’t know.

Do you think it’s a good idea to listen to Mummy and Daddy and your teacher at school?

M8-Yes.

Why do you think it’s a good idea?

M8-Well, sometimes if I don’t listen to you guys I might not get to do other things I want to do.

Ok, is that the only reason you listen because you don’t want the negative consequences?

M8-Yes.

Are you sure that’s the only reason you listen, because you don’t want something unwanted to happen?

M8-Yes.

So…Uhm…

M8-Well, sometimes I listen to you when I’m playing my game when you call me for lunch or dinner and I don’t just ignore you because I’m hungry.

Hehehe…

Well, I think it’s a little bit sad the only reason you listen is because you want to be able to play your game, is that the only reason you listen?

M8-No.

Well, what other reasons are there?

M8-Arghh…because…I’m thinking…I’m thinking…I’m thinking…

Well my question to you is, are you only listening to us to avoid not being able to have something you want?

M8-Well sometimes I get in trouble if I don’t listen to you guys.

Yes, but…

M8-And I don’t like getting in trouble…

Like what sort of trouble?

M8-Like if I am mean I get told off or I have to go away for a bit.

But aren’t you sometimes listening because it feels good to listen?

M8-Yes, it does sometimes.

But you don’t listen to us all the time though do you, so if we asked you to do something but it strongly goes against what you want to do you don’t always listen, which is okay I’m just saying you’re not only listening to us blindly without any regard to how you’re feeling.

M8-Yes.

Would it be true to say you’re making a choice to listen based on, will it feel better to listen and do this or will it feel better not to listen and do that.
And doesn’t the decision you make depend on the possible consequences you think may happen, and how much you do or don’t want to do something, but it’s still a choice that you make after weighing up all the pros and cons of the situation.

So would it be fair to say you’re making your decisions based on what feels best and what you feel will get you the closest to what you are wanting and sometimes that’s listening to Mum and Dad and sometimes it isn’t

M8-Yes.

That’s all you can do, that’s what everyone does, from where ever we are now, we’re all choosing what we feel is the best option for us, the choice we feel will hopefully produce the best outcome.

Of course, I’m Mum so I would always say it’s a good idea to listen to your Awesome Mummy wouldn’t I!! Hehehe

M8-And Awesome Daddy!! Hehehe

Yes, and at the end of the day, you’re always guided by yourself. Sometimes it’s good to listen, and sometimes it isn’t, I can’t say you should always or exclusively listen to anyone because you have to listen to yourself. Only you know what feels best for you, don’t you think Darling?

M8-Yes.

And so it is….

We’re just not supposed to know all the answers….Really???

BrickwallM&S2
Many times during conversations I’ve had with others, people have said to me, “I don’t know if we are supposed to know all the answers, or even if it’s possible to know all the answers?”
And I say, “Nothing further could be from the truth!” Nothing that we are wanting to know is being held from us, but when we think this is the case, it does become our experience, not because it is the “Ultimate Truth,” but purely because you will experience what you believe to be true. ( that’s the Law of Attraction in action again! )
And contrary to what many may think, we do not have to be rocket scientists to receive the answers to the questions we have about what’s happening or happened in our life!
But it is absolutely 100% necessary to believe and then know that we will receive the answers we’re so wishing for.
You do not need to know how, where and when these answers will come, who will bring them, and in what form they will manifest, it’s not our job to figure that out. ( and trying to figure it out before we’ve improved our vibration, is difficult )
That is something the universe is doing on our behalf with the powerful Law of Attraction.
So what is our job?
Well, just to live our life and to decide from everything that’s “out there” in the world, and from our own dreams that we’ve been inspired too… what we would prefer, or what we desire to experience!
Yes, desire…
This is the first step in creation, and it’s not that hard is it.
Every time we do anything, we know what we would prefer, what we feel would be better or improve our experience.
As this happens, the desire that has been born within us from what we have just experienced is received by the Universe. We do not have to speak the words of our desire for it to be fully heard and understood by the Universe, every time, no exceptions, ever! ( we are talking about the energy that creates and sustains life )
The second step of creation is not our job. This is where all the cooperative components required for the full physical manifestation of that which we are wanting are assembled by the Universe and managed by the powerful Law of Attraction.
So you could say, everything we’ve ever desired in this physical lifetime, is sitting vibrationally with the Non-Physical part of us, with all the components required to physically manifest assembled…and being held for us…
If this is so, ( and it is ) you may be wondering, “why aren’t I  experiencing any of it then!”
Well, I’m sure there are many things you have wanted that you have already and are now experiencing, but if our focus has been a bit Uhm….”all over the place” like many human beings on this planet, we may have things we have desired for a long time, that just never seem to come.
To be honest, desiring something is more or less a permanent state of being, but it isn’t a problem when we’re knowing how to align with that which we created through our desire, that the Universe delivered vibrationally, that the Non-Physical part of us….( don’t get mad with me here! ) Is living.
Yes, the Non-Physical part of us is living everything we have desired and is emitting a strong and steady vibrational signal of it, to us in the form of our emotions, that’s letting us know where we are in relation to the full physical manifestation of what we are wanting.
So what is required for what we have created through our desire, to physically manifest?
That’s the third and final step of the creation process.
For anything we are wanting to physically manifest in our life, we need to find a way to vibrationally align with our desire.
Remember, the Law of Attraction responds to our vibration ( thoughts and feelings ) by reflecting back to us in physical manifestations that which we have focused on and emitted vibrationally. To achieve the manifestation of anything we are wanting, we must find, achieve, and maintain the vibrational frequency of it.
And how do we do that?
We pay attention to how we are feeling, for this is communication from the Non-Physical, Inner Being part of us letting us know where we are in relation to all that we are desiring and have already created. ( the creation of it, took place when you first desired it purely, without thoughts of doubt and lack )
So if we are feeling strong negative emotion, ( that’s your own resistance to what you are wanting turning up so you can improve your vibration and come more into alignment!!) We can know for sure we are vibrationally a long way from a physical manifestation we are wanting, but instead are moving towards a manifestation that we won’t be too happy about if it turns up.
Now don’t be worried about every thought you have, it’s much easier to notice how we are feeling, for this always indicates in which direction our thoughts are focused, and we all have the absolute ability to gradually bring ourselves into a better feeling place by moving our thoughts. This I know.
If we are feeling strong positive emotion, we can know for sure we are vibrationally closer to a physical manifestation that will be very pleasing to us when it turns up.
The stronger the emotions are when we give thought to something, the closer we are to a physical manifestation, whether they are positive or negative.
When we have achieved complete vibrational alignment with our desire, the vibrational signal of what we are emitting and what we are wanting, are now the same, and there’s no longer any opposing resistant vibration to prevent what we are wanting from manifesting and being revealed to us in all of its physical wonderfulness!

This is the process of creation!!

1. We have a desire to know the answer to something that had been inspired within us from our own life experiences.
2. The Universe delivers the answer we have desired and the Non-Physical part of us emits the vibration of it to the Physical part of us, letting us know where we are in relation to the manifestation of it, which we feel as our emotions.
3. We pay attention to how we are feeling until we achieve vibrational alignment with our desire ( in this case an answer ) that the Non-Physical part of us is emitting a strong and steady vibrational signal of, that we continue to move to a better feeling place on, ( because we’re aware what it means ) experiencing the full realisation of that which we originally desired!
Oh, that’s just too good for words, don’t you think!
So there is nothing we cannot receive an answer about….But we do need to get into the vibrational vicinity of where the answer is….And we get there by feeling as good as we possibly can and believing in the power of who we are….
It’s the birthright of every human being on this planet to receive that which we have desired through the living of our life!
Not one of us has been left on our own without constant and consistent Inner Guidance….
So pay attention to it, listen to it, and believe it!!
Now is the time to take it….

And so it is….

It’s better to focus on what’s good about what you do have….than what’s good about what you don’t have!

Quote48
I love it when new discoveries are inspired from within….through the living of one’s own life experiences.
Questions and answers, problems and solutions, all attracted through the power of our focused thoughts and emotions. ( vibrations )

Okay so back to the title, it’s better to focus on what’s good about what you “do have” than what’s good about what you “don’t have.”
Now, whether this statement is true for you or not depends entirely on where you are in relation to it and is also dependent on the subject we’re thinking about, for we will be in different vibrational places on every subject that’s important to us.

If we are finding it difficult to appreciate what we have now it’s because we may be focused on things that we’re experiencing that we are not liking, the unwanted circumstances we are living.
If this is the case and we hold ourselves in this vibrational place over time that the Law of Attraction is responding in-kind to, this is what is highlighted to us as we look around, so in other words you put yourself in a place where you can no longer see the good that is also there.
Make no mistake, the good is there, but if we have intently focused on all that we feel is not good, this is mostly what we have easy access to through the power of our own focused thoughts.
So being grateful for all the horrible or unwanted things you don’t have is definitely an improvement from just noticing everything that isn’t good or unwanted.
But I like to think of it as a stepping stone to where we’re going, a place that’s a good improvement on where we’ve been, but by no means the end point.
For although it may initially feel good to look at what others are experiencing that is unwanted and be happy that we are not experiencing such circumstances, if we stay in this vibrational place with increased focused thoughts ( remember, we cannot observe anything without giving thought to it, whether we are aware of our thoughts or not! ) we have now included this in our own vibration therefore increasing the possibility of experiencing similar feeling circumstances in our own lives.
If we are sensitive to how we’re feeling, and are aware that our feelings are communication from our Inner Being, the Non-Physical part of us letting us know what we are creating right now in our lives, this is not a problem.
Why? Because we know we have the ability, with a little bit of effort, to adjust our vibration ( thoughts and feelings ) into a better feeling place which in turn…changes everything!!
As we all move through time this is naturally happening, but without conscious awareness of how we are creating our life experiences, it can be slow progress that tires us out.
So now is the time to really “get into the game and go for it!!”
And so it is….

Ignorance is bliss….Or is it???

DarkTree
Well I would have to agree with this statement, as long as we’re ignorant, it often is bliss because you don’t know what you don’t know, and what you don’t know can’t hurt you…( so I’ve heard? )
Well, that’s not entirely true, it can hurt us, it’s just we don’t know it’s hurting us.
The only drawback about ignorance being bliss is that there is no awareness of what we are creating in our life and how we are creating it.
Therefore the ability to deliberately move into a better vibrational
( thoughts and emotions ) places is not consciously considered because we have not been aware we have the ability to move our thoughts on any and all subjects that are important to us.
This usually means we’re living our life by default, by this I mean we may be believing things in our life are just happening “to us” and that we are powerless to do anything about it.
And although this is very far from the truth, it can often feel this way to the unaware, again this comes from not knowing how life is working and how we are creating our own life experiences.
This prevents us from taking any responsibility for what’s happening in our lives and it will be unlikely we will make an effort to move to a place that feels better than where we are by choosing thoughts that feel slightly better than what we are currently thinking.
Why would anyone make an effort to do such a thing? ( because it does take some effort ) If we don’t know what we are experiencing in our life is a result of our focused thoughts and feelings ( vibrations ) and that the Law of Attraction is responding to and reflecting back to us the original vibration frequency we’ve emitted with matching physical manifestations, we just wouldn’t make an effort.
Instead, we often do what we have been taught as we were growing up and what the majority of other human beings on this planet are doing, and that is…
Observing whatever is in front of us and having an uncontrolled, knee-jerk emotional response to it.
If it’s something we consider to be “unwanted, wrong, bad, or inappropriate behaviour,” whether it’s judgment of ourselves or others, we will usually feel strong negative emotion.
Feeling negative emotion is not bad, but it is an important sign, and very valuable communication from our Inner Being, the Non-Physical part of us, letting us know we are now focusing on something that we do not wish to experience and we would be well advised to change our focus to something we are wanting to experience, or anything that feels slightly better than where we currently are.
That being said, once we begin down the path of awareness and start to understanding how we are creating our life, not because someone else told us how life works, but because we have seen and experienced it in our own life experiences, there is no turning back so to speak.
We cannot un-know what we have come to know through the living of our own life, and although everything does constantly change and evolve as we move through time, you can never go back to a time when you did not know what you now know, even if you wanted to.
And yes, we will all have moments when we may wish we could have stayed in our world of ignorance and blame, but we usually get over that given some time and reflection. ( and let us not forget awesomely improved physical manifestations!! )
I suppose that would be denial, but even if we do deny that which we know, it will only be a matter of time before it becomes no longer possible to deny the truth of how life is working, for as the Law of Attraction delivers us evidence of the truths we have become aware of and that are pulsing strongly within us, we will see it everywhere we turn, and it becomes a futile endeavour to continue to deny it.
At this point comes acceptance of the truth, and this is a very good place to be.
Nothing is more important than knowing the truth about how life is working and knowing the truth of who we really are, for once we know this, we can start “deliberately creating” the more joyful experience we all came here to live!!
Life is supposed to be good….

And so it is….
