Triumph Over Hardships

Triumph Over Hardships
by Jane Powell on March 24, 2010

Think life is hard, and it's hard!

When you dwell on your problems or what you don't have, you generate negative energy, and chances are your life won't change for the better.

Why not focus on the possibilities?

When you make up your mind to do something, you'll find you can.

Instead of thinking about barriers in life, reach out after opportunities.

Instead of seeing a locked door, see a key.

Instead of thinking about the rough mountain climb ahead, see yourself standing on the summit.

Today, resolve to let go of the struggles and embrace your potential. Your shift in attitude will shift your life from the shadows into the sunshine.

Here Is My Law Of Attraction Story For Today!

Actually it was a few days ago!

I was thinking about one of my neighbors. You see he is a gardener and he enjoys working in his garden.

One night at home I was thinking about how good it would be to spend some time and chat with him. He has this lovely front porch and I actually made visions of us sitting on the porch and chatting.

Well guess what happened? It worked! A few days ago when I was walking home from the store there he was sitting on his front porch after spending some time in his garden. He saw me walking home and immediately invited me over and we chatted for quite some time! Not only that another neighbor came over and joined in our chatting. It was all so very nice!

This is just another perfect example of how I made the law of attraction work for me.

I have been reading a few law of attraction articles today because my day hasn't been going too good and I just needed some inspiration. I found quite a number of good articles that really helped me to feel better.

I want to be a law of attraction MASTER!

I also have seen it posted that one should keep a law of attraction journal. Now this isn't a bad idea although I already have a gratitude journal and I'm going to use that as my law of attraction journal as well!

Like I said I have been looking at some law of attraction articles today just to help me to feel better.

Basically what the law of attraction advices says is that the more we are focused, the more belief and faith that we have the more we will be able to manifest the life of our dreams. The more we "hedge", resist, feel less confident - the more of what we want fades away or goes down!

Hence these are things that I am working on - becoming a law of attraction master and creating the life of my dreams!

Here is some very good advice that I found online! And I'm going to try it out myself!

A very effective way to eliminate negative thinking now is to use a tablet and write on it every negative thought that comes to mind quickly. Once your list is complete shred the paper and instruct your subconscious mind to allow only positive energy thought to enter. You will get very good at deleting the negative thoughts and eliminating them for good. But be sure to always replace them with positive energy thoughts or the old ones will try creep back into your life.

If You Are Ever In New York.......

If you are ever in New York, please remember to take some time out and go to visit ground zero where the planes hit the towers. So many people were lost in that tragedy! The area itself is both humbling to see and sad as well. However, I think everyone should pay their respects there if given the chance. A lot of New Yorkers were lost in that and I hope they are never forgotten!

Here is a very inspiring poem! I often remember it when I'm feeling down or depressed. If you have never seen this poem or have never heard of this poem, I hope it inspires you as well. We all need inspiration at times!

Footsteps In The Sand


One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.



When the last scene of his life flashed before him
he looked back, at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.



This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."



The LORD replied:
"My son, My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you,
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

Eddie Izzard!

Sometimes when I'm feeling depressed or I'm just feeling down I like to watch shows that make me laugh!

I have a tape of Eddie Izzard called "Dress To Kill". I think that he is a very funny guy and laughing at his comedy routine has cheered me up and kept me going many a time.

Before this I had never really heard of him before!

Words of Advice: If you are feeling, sad, depressed or just feeling "down" find something that makes you laugh! It could be a funny tv show - I like to watch shows with comedians in them.

The Gift

Abundance

I just read a very inspiring article about abundance - after a day of feeling not so great - so I decided to post about it here.

While there are some aspects of my life that do not have abundance there are other areas of my life where I do have abundance.

Here is my gratitude list for today.

I am grateful for:

• being able to use my computer and to have Internet access. Part of my work and my income involve having the use of a computer and internet access. I have definitely made more money and have been able to have an income all because of having a computer and having internet access!
  
  
• after seeing on the news how so many people have lost their homes to flooding I am very grateful for my house and where I live.
  
  
• of course I am always grateful for my little furry pet companion - who is in the room directly across from me sitting on top of the television set and she is facing me - LOL!
  
  
• I am grateful for the food that I have been able to eat for today!
  
  
• I am grateful for my adsense because it is another way that I am able to make money and what makes it even better is that I am able to make money online in a very legitimate way!
  
  
• I am grateful for my front porch, my back porch and the views out of my windows - which I view sometimes when I am having a nice hot cup of soothing tea.
  
  
• I am grateful for my garden! So many times in the past I have procrastinated about my garden and/or I have had other things on my mind but even with my current "worries" I decided to go ahead and start my garden this year. I have even started planting and so far I see that some of my plantings are starting to come up - even though its still kind of early in the growing season

Abundance - Inspirational Quotes

I know that I would love to have more abundance in my life in all areas - especially finacial abundance!

Here are some quotes about abundance that you may find helpful and useful - I know that I have!

Recognizing Abundance

"If your everyday life seems poor, don't blame it; blame yourself; admit to yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call forth its riches; because for the creator there is no poverty and no indifferent place."

-- Rainer Maria Rilke

Where do you now experience abundance in your life?

If you are hard-pressed to find abundance in your finances or possessions, look to spiritual qualities. Do you experience abundance in a special relationship? In a quiet moment in a park? In a good laugh with a friend? The more you acknowledge abundance in your spirit, the richer your life will become. - I think that this can also be thought of as being gratful for the things that you DO have in your life!

"Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance."

-- John Petit-Senn

Belly Dancing?

I was having lunch and decided to see what was on television. I turned on to my local public tv station and saw a woman who taught belly dancing!

What was really interesting was that she had some of her students perform some of the belly dancing routines that they had learned. It was very interesting to see this! The costumes that the women wore were absolutely gorgeous but what was most inspiring was seeing that the women were of all different types of shapes and sizes.

They performed their belly dancing routines and it looked like they were enjoying theirselves so much. It was as though the belly dancing made them feel good and made them feel good about themselves.

What a wonderful thing to see!
