There are many ways you can love yourself, and everything that happens to you is an opportunity to have a loving experience. When seen in this perspective, anything has the ability to provide you with an opportunity to love yourself.  When things seem to be going against you, remember that they are only happening to show you blocks to your usable power.

The way we use words has a huge impact on our lives.  Certain words are destructive; others are empowering.

The words “I can’t” implies you have no control over your life, whereas “I won’t” implies you have a choice.  I challenge you, from this moment forward, strike “I can’t” from your vocabulary.  When you give your subconscious the message “I can’t”, your subconscious really believes you.  Your subconscious believes only what it hears, not what is true.

Your beliefs create your reality.  Beliefs are assumptions about the nature of reality, and because you create what you believe in, you will have many “proofs” that reality works the way you think it does.  For example, a person who believes that the universe is abundant will act as if they are expecting abundance, and a person who believes that you must work hard for money, will receive money only from hard work.  Each will have many experiences to prove that their belief about reality is really a fact about reality.  You have the ability to change what you think and therefore change what you experience.

Each of us are unique and have a special, meaningful contribution to make to the world.  We are all born with a purpose.

Finding your life’s work allows you to create abundance and money, easily and effortlessly.  The job or activities that are meant to be your life’s work involve doing what you love with your time and energy.  When you love what you do, you feel alive, happy and fulfilled.  You radiate joy and attract many good things to you.  You can make money doing work that you don’t like, but it will take longer and with much  effort.  Not liking what you do with your time and energy diminishes your flow of abundance;  loving what you do brings abundance more easily and effortlessly.

Many of us find the people most difficult to praise are the ones we are closest to – our partners, our children, our parents and even our friends.  A lot of the difficulty comes from anger and resentment.  Yet, in some strange way, when we praise others, we release the negativity and open the door for their being loving toward us.

Whether you are aware of it or not, deep inside you, are seeking growth and a feeling of aliveness.  Most people are seeking a life filled with joy, love  and a feeling of security.  When you have in your lives the essence of what you want, the more fulfilled you will feel and the more you will be realizing your full potential.  An important part of manifesting is learning to create only those things that fulfill your deepest needs and help you to grow to your full potential.

We’ve all heard that … like attracts like, this is the Universal Law of Attraction.  You may also have heard, you reap what you sow or you get what you give out or what goes around comes around, or every action has an equal and opposite reaction, but they’re all saying the same thing.  This law is absolute, no one lives outside this law.  The Law of Attraction is as real as the law of gravity, and before the law of gravity was identified, nobody knew it existed, yet everyone was affected by it.  The same is true with the Law of Attraction, most people are unaware of  how it works, but we are all still affected by it.  And because of their lack of knowledge in how the Law of Attraction works, most people have been attracting an over abundance of what they don’t want in their lives through the Law of Attraction.  Just as we don’t need to know how the law of gravity works to keep us from floating off into space, you also don’t need to know how the Law of Attraction works for it to affect your life, it works when you want it to and when you don’t want it to.  Everything you experience in your life is invited, attracted and created by you, there are no exceptions.  This is not good news if your life is not going the way you want it to, you may be thinking.…I would never have invited it into my life.   You did not attract negative situations into your life deliberately but that does not change the fact that unconsciously on some level you invited, attracted and created them through your thoughts and emotions or the collective thoughts and emotions of others.  Most of us go through life denying that we are the cause of our negative experiences or not having what we want.  When we don’t take responsibility for what is happening in our lives, we stay stuck where we are.  Most people would rather make excuses for not having what they want, then actually have it.  However when you accept that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life and you acknowledge that your thoughts are coming from you, you can change any circumstance or situation that’s keeping you from having what you truly desire.  The problem is that many adults never outgrow their limiting beliefs, most adults refuse to take full responsibility for creating their experience.  One of the reasons for this is that their not aware of the conscious or unconscious choices that have led them to their current circumstances.  We are creating in every moment of our lives, in fact we have no choice in whether we are creating, because we are always creating whether we realize it or not.  However we do have a choice as to what we create, unfortunately most of the creations in peoples lives are by default.  This is why so many people feel that their lives are out of control, they believe that things are just happening to them, this is because they don’t understand how the Law of Attraction works, which causes us to create results that we don’t want.

Why is life such a struggle for so many?  I believe that most of us simply do not know what we truly want, we only think we know.  Most people can tell you what they don’t want, but they find it difficult or nearly impossible to tell you what they do want.  How do we know what it is that we truly want?  To accomplish anything that you want in life you must first identify what it is that you truly desire, not intellectually but at a deep inner level, the heart level.  These are your true hearts desires and they’re linked to your life’s purpose.  True hearts desires are those things that you want so badly that you will do whatever it takes to get them no matter how difficult it is, or what the risk.  These desires are the things you want with all your heart and soul.  Often we don’t reach our goals because they are not our true hearts desires, they are  desires that we mistakenly think that we want, so we set goals that are not our true desires then we start moving down the wrong path.  When on this path, we continue putting our faith, money and time into reaching these goals without realizing that we’re set up to fail.  How many times have you tried to be successful at something without succeeding?  Then when you didn’t achieve the results you wanted you start to doubt yourself, you start to think you don’t have what it takes or there must be something wrong with you.  You may even see yourself as a failure, then what do you do?  Likely,  you jump right back in repeating the same patterns that caused you to fail  before, only this time you try even harder and you fail again.  This is a vicious cycle and the problem is that all along you were using the wrong techniques and strategies to get what you want.  When you have the wrong thought, this creates the wrong action and these actions create the wrong result.  If we fail then we are operating out of a belief system that does not support what we desire.  In other words, we have the wrong information and we’re trying to use that information to create the right results.  Unfortunately, it’s impossible to create the right results with the wrong information.  

Appreciation is the doorway into the heart, it opens your heart and allows you to experience more love in your life.  Do you appreciate what you have right now?  In the next week, appreciate each and every person you come across.  Whether it is a friend or a loved one, a stranger or a co-worker, see if you can send him or her gratitude, thank them for who they are.  Appreciate something about that person from your heart.  Gratitude takes you out of your head, out of judgement.  Many of you are wrapped up in your thoughts, and when you give thanks it takes you out of that mental place of right and wrong, good and bad, and puts you into your heart. Often the level of mental activity that is going on in all of us creates so much confusion it is harder for us to get what we want.
