Attract What You Want For The Future By Focusing On Right Now

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. If you have ever visited this blog before you know that I put a huge emphasis on living in the NOW. One of my favorite books is Eckhart Tolle's Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from The Power of Now. His book explains that there is only ever right now. The past is gone. The future is not here yet. There is only this moment.

"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly."

With this mind set, it easy to attract what you want. The reason that is easy is that it rids you of worry. You stop worrying about the mistakes of the past. You also have no anxiety for the future. Living for the moment lets you appreciate what is right in front of you.

It's still okay to make plans for the future but don't make the mistake of thinking that you need to reach this goal in order to be happy. I hear people say all the time that they will finally be happy when they make a million dollars, or get a certain job. This leaves you "happyless" for an undetermined amount of time. Who knows when you will make a million dollars. Who knows when you will get that promotion. So why worry about it?

When you begin to appreciate the present, the Universe will begin to line up opportunities to reach your goals. It is so much easier to go with the natural flow of the Universe, than it is trying to swim upstream.

What will you do? Will you fill your mind with unwanted worry which attracts more to worry about? Or will you fill your mind with gratitude and love for the moment that you have right now? Start your day with a bunch "thank you's" for what you already have and set the tone for an amazing day of creation. So what are you creating?

Enjoy the following article, and have a great day living moment by moment. Hour by hour. Second by second. You'll see. It really makes this existence so enjoyable. Many blessings, and ALWAYS FEEL GOOD!



Eckhart explains how "reacting to content" brings you out of the NOW.



Attracting a Better Future by Focusing on the Present:
By Antonio Thornton

You could have an ideal life very quickly - if you could instantly put yourself in harmony with it. The Law of Attraction will bring you whatever matches your dominant vibration. But sometimes reaching too high and expecting immediate results will create more disappointments than positive manifestations. It's often better to get yourself started in the right direction by moving in smaller stages.

There's nothing wrong with focusing on what you "ultimately" want. Just remember that there is no final goal - as you reach one goal, you will be inspired to set a new one. Put more of your attention on making each moment in your day more enjoyable. You can improve your future by making a small step - right now.

Your current circumstances are the result of your patterns of thought. If you can make a small positive change in your thoughts, you will see a change in your circumstances. An improvement in thoughts will bring an improvement in your life. Improve your thoughts a little more, and you will see more positive manifestations. You'll feel happier because of this positive change, and you'll also be encouraged by your success. You can see yourself moving in the direction of your "grander" goals.

Put More Attention on the Present

Let's say that you are determined to change your life by putting more attention on the things you want to have or achieve. You decide you will devote some time each evening to meditating or visualizing in order to put yourself more in harmony with your goals. This is great, but what about your thoughts during the rest of the day?

* If you are irritated by traffic on your way to work, you are putting yourself in a bad mood. That mood will tend to continue through the day, and you will attract more irritating experiences. If you want to spend time focusing on your "perfect life" when you get home, you will be working against the momentum of the bad feelings you had all day. Even if you manage to calm down and start thinking positively, this won't end up being your dominant vibration for the majority of the day.

* Yes, it would be a good idea to sit down, relax, and put your attention on more positive thoughts after having a frustrating day. However, it would be more productive to focus on having a pleasant drive to work when you first wake up. Then while you are traveling, you could look for things to enjoy along the way, and imagine having a smooth, productive day at the office. You will have a much better day, and this frame of mind will make it fairly easy to put your attention on things that you want to manifest in your life.

Now you will be moving with the flow, not against it. Once you are moving in a positive direction, it's much easier to keep going that way. Establish a pattern of thought and action that puts you in harmony with the life that you desire. The Law of Attraction will take care of the rest.

Taming The Ego

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. I've been studying the ego a lot for the past couple of months. It started when I read Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment. This is when I really began to understand why people act the way they do. I am currently reading A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61) which expands on the theories of the first book.

The ego wants and has to form identities in order to survive. For example, there are people who always complain about how bad their life is. Before they even say anything you know it's going to be miserable. They're in a bad mood. They put you in a bad mood. You pass along the bad mood to someone else and soon all we're left with is a bunch miserable people.

People like this are addicted to the emotion of feeling bad. The ego has formed their identity around always being miserable. The ego now searches for more instances to feel bad. The ego is very selfish. It has to be the center of attention. If you are addicted to feeling bad then the ego will do everything in its power to make your surroundings difficult.

The important thing to remember is that the ego is not who "you" are. You have to learn to disassociate yourself from the ego. The following article gives us some good tips on how to tame the ego. Learn how to make the ego work in your favor and life will be so much more enjoyable. Thanks for listening and many blessings!

Two Proven Steps To Find True Happiness Wherever You Are, No Matter Your Circumstances

I am sure you already know by now that when you look for happiness from external sources you are never really satisfied. As we have all done at some time or other, you imagine that if you could have a certain amount of money, drive a certain type of car, live in the house of your dreams, have the partner you are searching for then you would be happy. But the truth of the matter is that when you arrive there, you are still not content. You want more and it seems that you always do want more, no matter how much you buy or achieve.

I am offering you an alternative concept, that when practiced, you will understand just what it means to feel happy, accomplished, fulfilled, content and truly at peace with yourself. Now I am not promising that it is easy to do at all times, but when you do, it will turn your day and life around. You will begin to experience what it means to be truly happy with yourself no matter where you are or what the circumstances are.

Your Happiness Life Tool -- “Rise Above Your Ego”

The ego is that force that is never satisfied. It constantly yearns for more - more money, more control, more power, more stuff and more status. It is the ego that keeps you locked into a routine and lifestyle that we call the rat race. The key in getting out of this never ending cycle is to live beyond your ego. How do you to this?

Firstly, Identify your ego:

- Your ego is that part of you that always wants to show that you are better than others.
- It wants to prove how much you know about everything.
- It always wants to prove that you are right and “they” are wrong.
- Your ego wants you to get “yours” before someone else gets it first.
- Ego wants all the attention on you. It deems your successes and failures far more important
or worthy of attention than those of others.

Secondly, Beat your ego at its own game:

-When you know more than someone and want to use it to boost your ego, keep quiet.
-If someone wants to do something in a way that you know will be slower and less efficient than the way you usually do it, take a step back and let them do it their way.
-If you have done something to help someone out in a big or small way, keep it as your secret and do not announce it to the world in order to elevate your importance.
-Put others’ needs to affirm their own worth ahead of yours.
-Give others the chance to shine and have their day in the spotlight.
-Rather than bringing attention to your successes or setbacks, shift your focus to someone less fortunate than yourself or to someone who needs validation more than you do.

You will be amazed at what identifying your ego and rising above it will do for your own self worth and feeling of satisfaction. By letting go of your egos hold on you, you will develop inner pride, joy and contentment. You will get to experience a feeling of happiness and contentment that more money, more gifts and more power never brings. If you are skeptical, try it out for a day or week and let me know what happens. :)

Be aware of every time your ego wants to take control of you during the day. The intensity of how uncomfortable you feel in not giving in to its demands is an indication of just how strong your ego is in that situation. Begin with situations that are not too uncomfortable, working your way up to more difficult ones and watch your own self-worth and happiness unfold in your life.
