A Perfect Example Of The Law Of Attraction At Work!

I was going grocery shopping with the money that I had. It wasn't enough to buy something that I truly wanted but I was grateful for having the money that I DID have! But in the back of my mind I kept manifesting the other thing that I wanted! I kept trying to hold on to the feelings of already having it now and guess what happened!

As I was leaving the store with my purchases, I got a $10 payment from someone that I had did some computer work for. They had wanted to know some information about a work-at-home opportunity but they wanted to know more about the company and whether or not it was a legitmate work at home business.

An extra $10! Surely the law of attraction works!

I just have to learn how to harness this so that I can fulfill my mission statement of becoming a millionaire!

I Guess Everyone Is Entitled To Their Opinion

I was reading an article in one of my local papers. It was written by one of the local writers on staff and it was about their take on The Secret.

Basically speaking they said that they really didn't agree with the concept of the secret (which is the law of attraction) and books and publications like it! The writer said that the authors of such works were more or less "hucksters" trying to "peddle their wares".

The article went on to mention Oprah and how she had the guests on her talk show and how they talking about their works / books - which the writer thought was the only reason why they were there.

Personally I believe in the teachings of The Secret! I have seen things manifest in my life that have made me think that they have come to pass only because I was thinking of them so strongly - whether they be good or bad things!

I haven't manifest the life of my dreams yet but I continue to work on it!

It would be interesting to know if any of you believe in the teachings of "The Secret"?

What I Am Grateful For.....

I have been feeling a little bit (well actually a lot) down and depressed because of some problems that I am having so here is my gratitude list for today.

I am grateful for:

• having a roof over my head! It's currently raining outside (I live in Philadelphia) and the weather is a little bit chilly.
  
  
• I am grateful for the food that I have now in my refridgerator. As a matter of fact I am grateful for the fridge itself because I was able to get that with a grant program
  
  
• I am always grateful for my cat (who just had lunch by the way!) It's good to have a pet - although sometimes I think I'm the pet and my cat is the owner!
  
  
• I am grateful for the positive balance in my bank account! Even though its under a dollar it still is a positive balance which means that I'm not being charged any fees!
  
  
• I am grateful for my talents and abilities and the skills that I have. I may not be rich (right now) but I have been paid for my work in the past!

Any time that you are feeling down or depressed take the time to write a gratitude list and write down the things that you are grateful for.

I didn't have a particularly good morning today!

I think that that having this type of "bad" day is the perfect time to reflect on what I have learned to deal with this!

• Now is the perfect time to think about all the things that I have to be grateful for. Even though my mind is reeling with thoughts of lack I should re-direct those thoughts to thoughts of abundance! - and to thoughts of the way that I want my life to by - that is why I created my mission statement!
  
  
• No matter how bad off you think you are there will always be someone who is far more worse off than you.
  
  
• I am remembering what Dr. Wayne Dyer has said and that is to say to yourself that you want to feel good! This fills your mind with thoughts and images of things and experiences that make you feel good!
  
  
• Taking one day at a time and making the most of it!

I'm looking at this as if it were a test (and boy this is some test!)

I guess you could call it a test of faith where I have to have faith in God and the Universe and trust that they will bring me what it is that I want - which is financial wealth!

Just like my mission statement says!

T. D. Jakes!

  I have become quite a fan of  T. D. Jakes!

He was on the Dr. Phil show recently and I watched the entire show!

One of the things that he talked about was how people should have a mission in life as opposed to just getting out of bed and making it through the day!

Of course I thought that this was very good advice and I have decided to follow it!

There are things that I want in my life (in order to live the life of my dreams) and I do want them so badly!

One of my most important missions in life is to be financially wealthy! Not only because it will make my life easier and more free of worry and stress but also because being financially secure enables me to continue the work that I want to do! In that way I can be of help to others.

As T. D. Jakes has said, everyone has talents - and that even includes me!

I have been thinking about the talents that I have and a lot of them come to mind.

I can do both tarot and astrology readings and that is something that I have come to not be ashamed of! In fact, the fact that I know that this is a talent of mine makes me want to pursue it even more! And I often use myself as a client when I give readings on myself!

In fact I decided to give myself an impromptu tarot reading and I pulled the card of "The Chariot" in reverse. This means that I am restless - which in fact I am! Yearning for change - yes that's right too!

Another one of my talents is html and designing websites (and now blogs too!) and I have earned money doing this as well!

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!

Stay Positive!

I saw someone post this and it reminded me of what it is I have to do and that is to stay positive!

There are just so many people who are more worse off than me and I have a lot of things that I am (and should be)grateful for!

I'm just feeling a little (well a LOT) bit down because of something I don't have - which tells me that my feelings are those of lack - which tells me that I have to change those feelings.

From all the things that I have read the best piece of advice that I remember is to when you're feeling down just think about all the things that you are grateful for! (I got this advice from "The Secret")

Here are the things that I am grateful for:

• I am so grateful that I have less than 2 weeks before I get my Adsense check!
  
  
• Even though I have added a Donations button to this blog I haven't gotten any donations so far but the bright side is that I do have the ability to accept donations.
  
  
• After watching on the news about how some people have lost their homes to an apartment fire I am so very grateful for the home that I live in and that it is up and still standing strong!
  
  
• I am always grateful for my cat who is my little furry companion
  
  
• I am grateful for the food that is in my refridgerator!
  
  
• I am grateful for the money that I do have in my bank account because it is keeping my bank balance in the positive so that there are no banking fees being assessed to my bank accont. (I have "been there and done that" and I didn't like that at all!) So I'm glad for my positive bank balance!

Remember to stay positive and focus on what it is that you do want!

I remember the law of attraction working for me two days ago when wishing I had something that I wanted so bad and it appeared! It was in a drawer and I had forgotten all about it!

I have to remember to use this principle when manifesting the life of my dreams!

Sometimes it is so hard though but I have to follow my own advice and that is to stay positive, be grateful for the things that I DO have and keep my focus on the things that I do want to maifest into my life!

I Am Grateful For.................

Here is my gratitude list for today:

• I'm always grateful for my pet cat - who is right now in one of the bedrooms sitting on top of one of the dressers!
  
  
• I am grateful for the fact that I have air conditioning and its on now because the current temperature outside is 94 degrees!
  
  
• I am grateful to have a fully working refridgerator and freezer because it wasn't so long ago that I didn't - because now I have a nice glass full of icy cold water!
  
  
• I am grateful for the food that is in my refridgerator now
  
  
• I am grateful for my house that I LOVE with its front and back porch and the garden that I have started!
  
  
• I am grateful for the fact that I have a washing machine in the basement so that I can do laundry at home instead of having to have to go to a laundomat!
  
  
• I am grateful for my Dell computer and the fact that I am able to be online!

As you (and I) can see - I have a lot of things to be grateful for!

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.
