Taken from the “Positive Discussions” Yahoo!Group Author: Wade Smart

I was just reading a paper and it had this quote at the top of a page. And then it hit me (and this was like a Ah-Ha moment): Maybe what I love isnt a thing but a process.

This is an important thing for me because even though I have read this quote for years, in the past day I have had several people tell me that even though I am doing one thing (in a certain moment) it seems like overall Im doing something else (in the same moment).

For example, say you a car sales person. You think you are selling cars. And that might be the end result. But what YOU are doing is enjoying the process of developing that relationship or you enjoy pairing a person with a certain vehicle, or you enjoy helping people get financing. You think you are only selling cars but you are so successful because you are really doing something else.

Anyway, its just kinda strange how strong it hit me that a process that I might be involved in is more important that either the actual work or the end result. Its interesting.

The Law Of Attraction

The law of attraction is surprisingly simple: Like attracts like. It becomes a bit more complicated when it comes to training our minds to think in ways that will bring what we desire into our lives. The term “self-fulfilling prophecy” describes the same law. This well-known term explains that we create the circumstances our mind dwells upon, whether positive or negative. So our goal is to practice consistent presence of mind to make sure our thoughts are always directed toward the positive and that which we want to create.

A key to the process is the word “frequency.” This is true for two reasons: 1) The frequency you use when you passionately dwell upon or revisit a thought, dream, desire or goal provides the energy your musings need for creation; and 2) just like a radio station broadcasts on a certain frequency, like the radio you must be “tuned in” to receive it. This means preparing for the arrival of your dream on every possible level—material, physical, and spiritual. You don’t have to know how it will come into your life, just trust that it will. Your job is to lay the groundwork, follow any leads you can find, and prepare for its arrival. This can mean cleaning out your garage to make space for a new car, taking a tour of a model home to get the feel of it in order to feed your fantasies, or thinking of what you want in a mate and then living up to that list yourself.

Just like with any skill, the law of attraction must be practiced. We must decide what makes us feel abundant, and use our imagination to create the feeling. It isn’t enough to just want something; you must use the power of your thoughts to attract it. A series of choices is what brings us everything in our lives right now, every moment. When we know the direction we want our choices to take us, it is as if we’ve placed an order with the universe. Then we can await its arrival with joyful anticipation. If we find ways to experience our dreams right now, we make creating joy a treasure hunt in which the seeking is just as much fun as the finding.

Coping With People You Dislike

As much as most of us wish we could exist in harmony with the people we encounter throughout our lives, there will always be individuals we dislike. Some simply rub us the wrong way while others strike us as deliberately unaware. We may judge others as too mean or abrasive for us to interact with them comfortably. Yet no person should be deemed a villain because their beliefs, opinions, mannerisms, and mode of being are not compatible with your own. You need not embrace the rough traits they have chosen to embody. There may be times in which the best course of action involves distancing yourself from someone you dislike. But circumstances may require that you spend time in the company of individuals who awaken your aversion. In such cases, you can ease your discomfort by showing your foe loving compassion while examining your feelings carefully.

The reasons we dislike some individuals are often complex and, at first, indecipherable. Often, we are automatically averse to people who are different because they compel us to question our values, spirituality, culture, and ideologies, threatening to undermine our self-assurance. Realistically, however, those you dislike have no power to weaken your life’s foundations. In fact, your aversion to specific individuals may actually be your response to your fear that specific qualities you see in them also exist within you. Their presence may force you to face internal issues you would rather not confront. If you meet someone who inspired an intense, largely negative response in you, ask yourself why your reaction is so laden with powerful emotions. Remember that you control your feelings and, if necessary, you can minimize this individual’s impact on your well-being by choosing how you will respond to them.

Though you may not have an immediate breakthrough, your willingness to consider your dislike rationally can help you better understand the root of your feelings. Your aversion to certain individuals may not wane over time, yet the comprehension you gain through reflection can help you interact with them sympathetically, benevolently, and with a greater degree of kindness. There is nothing wrong with recognizing that you are incompatible with some people. You may never achieve a shared harmony with those you dislike, but you can nonetheless learn to modulate your reactions to these individuals and, ultimately, to coexist peacefully with them.

Notes from the Universe - TUT.com

Timely: These past few weeks I’ve really felt the need to be joyful in all that I do. My mantra lately is “Thank you for my happiness”, because really it’s what we’re trying to reach for in all that we do. The other interesting thing is my interst in Huna/Hawaiian healing (Hula..). I found that funny. I’m also fascinated with the Illuminati and if they exist. If they do, they get a lot of love directed their way Be led by joy, John-Derek.

It’s the whole point. - The Universe

Remember, John-Derek, before this entire adventure began, you once asked me to remind you of this? You asked that I time it right before the floodgates opened, so that you could stay grounded. You were studying at the prestigious Time~Space University… in the Ph.D program… on a Hula-Hoop scholarship… “Go Illuminators!!”

Reminder #1 - When dreaming, know that anything can happen. In that magical state, the only price to be paid is with imagination. Having “it all” costs the same as having nothing at all.

Reminder #2 - You’re now dreaming.

Dreaming of you, John-Derek - The Universe

Reminder #3 - John-Derek, you are as good at this as anyone has ever been. Plus, you rock.
