Hello Friends,
Hope all is well. Living in the present moment is important when you are wanting something in your life. Many times we look at past events and tell ourselves that we can't achieve something because we have failed in the past. Sometimes we hurt our chances by looking to far into the future. We get a little overwhelmed at what we think the future holds.
Live in the present moment. That's all we ever have anyway. The past doesn't exist and neither does the future. When we arrive at a specific time in the future, when we get there, it happens "now." There is no past or future. There is only ever right now.
Don't stress yourself out over things of the past or what is to come. Be thankful for everything you have now. Like athletes say, "Live in the moment." This is presence. This is closeness to Being. The Universe only knows the present moment. Time is but a concept created by man.
Enjoy the following article. It shares some great ideas that show you why it is important to live in the present moment. Forget about the past and the future. If you prepare in the present moment, all your present moments will be taken care of. Many blessings, and thanks for listening.
Attracting Using The Present Moment
When people speak of the present moment, most will dismiss it from having any real value. After all, they think they’re always in the moment, as now is all any of us have. It’s the common theme amongst all animals and humans, we all share “now”.
But how present and in the moment are you?
Observe your thoughts for a brief moment. Are you so rooted in this now moment that all of your attention is on reading this article? Or, are your thoughts scattered between the past and the future? Maybe you’re thinking about what you will do next, or what things you’ve got left to do today.
Most of us don’t give our attention to the moment, instead we’re continually giving our attention to our thoughts which are primarily based upon the future or the past.
Learning to give your full attention to this moment right now has some serious benefits.
The main benefit that I’ve experienced is a raise in overall vibration. When you stop your thoughts and give your complete attention to something, you’re no longer giving any power to thoughts that are negative.
Therefore when you’re present you’re actually in alignment with everything you want. Being in the present moment is at the top of the food chain, there is no better feeling place to be in. Being present is experiencing pure source energy.
Most deliberate creators strive to get themselves into that place because they know that is where they will be in vibrational resonance with things they want to attract. Some teachers will teach meditation as that can be an easier way of stopping thought and allowing your vibration to rise naturally so you experience pure source energy.
You don’t need to meditate in order to achieve that same state though. Give your full attention to one of your five senses and you’ll quickly become present in the moment.
Listen to the singing of the birds with all of your attention.
Feel your breathing in its entirety, notice your lungs move and you nostrils inhaling.
Smell all of the deliciousness of the vibrant life giving flowers.
Taste an apple with all of your taste buds and really become engrossed in the moment.
There are far too many things around us every single day trying to eat up our attention. But, by taking just a little bit of time and giving it to this moment, right now, you’ll make massive shifts in the spiritual dimension even if you don’t notice them in the physical world.

Gratitude Quiz
Hello Friends,
Hope all is well. Being grateful is very important when using Law Of Attraction to get what you want out of life. Being grateful puts you in a state of "feeling good." The Universe loves when we are grateful for what we already have. When we are thankful for something the Universe gives us more of the same to be thankful for.
The same is true if we are always complaining about our situations. If we focus on what we see as wrong with our situation, the Universe will give us more to complain about. Many of us start out with the right attitude but we let people or situations dictate our mood. If someone says the slightest thing to upset us our whole day is ruined. All our good intentions are lost because we lost focus.
Be thankful for what you already have. Be thankful for what is too come. Don't become consumed with the future because that will create some anxiety. Instead focus on what you can do right now to make your present situation more of what you want it to be.
Take the following quiz. See how you score to see where you stand in terms of your gratefulness. All it takes is a simple shift in focus in order to create what you want. Have fun with life and always remember to be grateful for what you have. Many blessings, and thanks for listening.
The Law Of Attraction Gratitude Quiz
In the Law of Attraction, being grateful is vital to attaining what you want out of life. Take the gratitude quiz to see if you are stirring up enough grateful feelings to obtain what you desire. (Really, this isn't a quiz in the technical sense of the word because the answer to each question is very obvious. This is just a fun way to impart Law of Attraction principles, while having a laugh at the way most of us would probably answer this quiz.)
Gratitude Law of Attraction Question One: You just got your paycheck and look at the net amount, you say to yourself:
A. I can't believe how much the government deducted. How is this check going to cover all my bills?
B. I need more money. I wish my check was like Bob's.
C. I am grateful for this check and I know that the Universe is taking care of me. Thanks for the check, Universe, and I want much more and I trust you are bringing it to me!
Gratitude Law of Attraction Question Two: Your best friend just called to tell you that she just won $5,000 in the lottery. You say to yourself:
A. Why couldn't that have been me? She doesn't even need the money like I do.
B. Where's my money Universe?! I'm tired of waiting.
C. How exciting. The Universe just gave me a great sign and used my best friend to tell me. Thank you Universe! Money is right around the corner for me, too!
Gratitude Law of Attraction Question Three: You order your coffee at the local coffee shop. The girl behind the counter is swamped. She makes your coffee and it turns out to be totally wrong. You:
A. March right up in front of everyone and tell her that your coffee is wrong and to fix it. NOW!
B. Complain and fume and just take the coffee as it is.
C. Wait a moment until the girl has a minute and thank her for the coffee, then remind her it's not as you wanted it. You're sure it was because she was so busy. Could she please fix it? (This is done sincerely. of course.)
Gratitude Law of Attraction Question Four: You make an error in your checking account and you are charged $50 in overdraft fees. What do you do?
A. Blame it on the bank. The banks just wait for a reason to take money from you.
B. Go to the bank and demand your overdraft fees back. You start to cry in hopes they will give it back to you.
C. You go to the bank and explain the error that you made. "Could I speak with a manager in the hope she will help me out?" You thank each and every person who tries to help you. Even if it doesn't work in your favor, you recall how nice certain bank employees were. You know the Universe will bring back to you the money, or better.
Gratitude Law of Attraction Question Five: You wake up in the morning and you have a big work day ahead of you. You:
A. Lie in bed dreading the day ahead of you; and you don't want to get up knowing what you have to face today.
B. Shoot out of bed like a rocket and start getting ready immediately.
C. Visualize what an incredible day it is going to be for you. Thank the Universe for the great day before it has happened. You get out of bed knowing the day is going to be just as you visualized.
If you answered mostly A's: Your feelings of "lack" and "don't wants" are getting in the way of feeling grateful. Try to understand that what you are feeling will attract to you in some form. Break the lack habit. Enjoy life more and you will have more to enjoy.
If you answered mostly B's: Your feelings of impatience are getting in the way of feeling grateful. Try to see things through another's eyes before you say something out of impatience. Be patient, knowing that the Universe is bringing you what you desire in the exact time that is expected by you.
If you answered mostly C's: Your feelings of gratitude will bring you more to be grateful for. Keep up the good Law of Attraction work!
If you answered a mixture of A, B, and C's: Some situations trigger some strong emotions. Work on staying focused and balanced and stop to smell the roses. Find something to be grateful about on a daily basis and dwell on that grateful feeling.

Money Affirmations
Hello Friends,
Hope all is well. Money, Cash, Capital, Funds. Whatever you call, we are always looking for more. Lots of times my friends want to know how to attract more money into their life. I often tell them to find out what they love to do and then turn it into a business. When you are doing something you love, it is much easier to work towards your goals.
Here are some great affirmations for attracting money into your life. Remember it takes action when using affirmations. It is not enough to just say them over and over. You have to believe it. Visualize it. Live it. When opportunity presents itself, jump on it. Have a great day and thanks for listening. Blessings!
Law Of Attraction Money Affirmations
Sometimes finding a perfect affirmation, just for you, can be a little hard. Here are some great money abundance affirmations that we have used in the past or that other Law of Attraction practitioners have e-mailed to us.
The Universe is unlimited. There is more than enough abundance for everyone in this world. When you start intentionally applying the Law of Attraction, a great affirmation is necessary, and feeling confident in your affirmation is imperative. You want to be able to feel and believe it to be absolutely true. Many people have a mindset of "lack." A good money affirmation can help jump the hurdle of thinking from a space of "lack."
You'll also want to find an affirmation that feels attainable. If you choose an affirmation that your logical mind can't even fathom could happen, then it won't happen because the Universe will pick up on that thought and feeling. You can start with something small and when that feels attainable take another step toward a larger affirmation. When you take these baby steps your logical mind will become used to the idea of having everything you want, and you will become comfortable with your affirmation.
When you have discovered the money affirmation that works best for you, you'll want to focus on and say it at least five times a day. Make sure to give your affirmation the attention that it deserves. Close your eyes and feel the words leave your lips. Treat the words like a sacred incantation; that when you speak the words, the Universe drops everything and rushes exactly what you are affirming to you.
Make sure that you do not 'outgrow' your affirmation. When you feel like the original affirmation just isn't doing it for you, change to something that reflects your growing positive thoughts and feelings. And when your affirmation has completely aligned with the Universe, you'll want to bump it up a notch to reflect your newfound life.
Perhaps these affirmations will ring true with you.
Money Affirmation 1: I create my own reality and I have unlimited prosperity.
Money Affirmation 2: Financial abundance comes to me easily.
Money Affirmation 3: Large amounts of money come to me quickly and easily from multitudes of sources.
Money Affirmation 4: I always have abundant amounts of money; more coming in than going out.
Money Affirmation 5: Unlimited possibilities and resources reveal themselves to me now.
Money Affirmation 6: I am comfortable having money.
Money Affirmation 7: Money is good and I deserve money.
Money Affirmation 8: I feel successful and I am successful.
Money Affirmation 9: I have more money than I ever dreamed was possible.
Money Affirmation 10: I expect only the best from my financial situation and the Universe provides just that or better.
Money Affirmation 11: I have a constant stream of money abundance in my life.
Money Affirmation 12: I have my ideal life.
Money Affirmation 13: I am able to think and feel in unlimited ways.
Money Affirmation 14: I have all the answers within myself and I implement them.
Money Affirmation 15: I am financially free.
These are just a few affirmations to get you started. Enjoy creating and making affirmations a part of your life. Affirmations are one of the wonderful tools to use in attracting all you desire through the Law of Attraction.

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.

Keep It To Yourself (for a little while)
Hello Friends,
Hope all is well. Here's a great article about the importance of secrecy when applying the Law Of Attraction. Many times we have a great goals and aspirations but we allow our friends and family to deter us. It's only natural that we listen to the people that are closest to us. Unfortunately the people closest to us are usually the one that hurt us the most when they don't agree with what you're doing.
Family members feel that they have the right to tell you what's best for you. They may criticize you when you try something new. This stems from their own insecurities. They may tell you to stay in a safe secure job because they need security. They advise you not to take chances, but anything worth having is worth taking a risk. The important thing to do is to educate yourself fully about what you are pursuing to eliminate as much risk as possible.
Your dreams are yours. Let people say what the will about you. "What you think of me is none of my business." I say this to myself when someone says something negative that might throw me off my path to success. This reminds me that other peoples opinions or thoughts really don't affect me at all. It's absolutely no business of mine what they think about me. Those are their thoughts. They have to deal with the negativity that they are allowing into their lives. It shouldn't worry me at all.
Strive for your goals. If you're a little sensitive, keep your dreams to yourself for a while. As things start to come together for you, those same individuals who criticized you will soon flock to you for advise on how you made it big. Get excited about what you're doing. Great things are right around the corner if you allow for it. Thanks for listening and many blessings.
Secrecy And The Law Of Attraction
You've been applying the Law of Attraction in your life. You have a great image that you have been focusing on, and you have come into the feeling of 'knowing' that the Universe is on the case. You're excited about your plans and your desires and you just want to shout them from the rooftops. You want everyone to know this great thing called the Law of Attraction and how it is manifesting exactly what you want in your life. Should you be shouting it across the rooftops? Let's examine.
Have you ever had one of those days when everything is just right? The whole day just seems to be gelling, and you feel great. You tell a colleague about your incredible day and the "well-meaning colleague" says something to you that just hits you wrong, and it makes you feel bad about yourself. So the rest of the day you begin to doubt yourself. The one remark just throws your day off. Now you've entered a state of doubt and soon the feelings of lack set in. This one person, who had no idea that they put any doubt in your head, changed your day. Your feeling of doubt really is your responsibility, whether you accept the remark or not, but this kind of event can throw your thoughts and feelings into a space you don't want to take them.
This is a reason to keep your enthusiastic thoughts and feelings to yourself while you manifest what you desire. If you are the kind who isn't affected by someone else's thoughts, then go ahead and shout. But if you're like most of us, there will be someone who can throw a wrench into the mix and get you off kilter.
Many famous inventors kept their thoughts and feelings about their inventions to themselves while they were in the process of creating them. Wilbur and Orville Wright, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison (just to name a few) had initially told many about what they were inventing but people didn't appreciate what they were creating for mankind. They were pegged as crazy, but as we all know the inventions they created changed the world. When they heard what people were saying, they stopped talking about their inventions. They would work deep into the night so no one would see what they were doing or ask them doubtful questions or offer them unsolicited opinions. If they had taken those opinions to heart would they have made less incredible inventions? They learned early on to keep silent and create until the creation was physically manifested. Even then others didn't think what they did was possible.
There will always be people in the world who doubt. It's our responsibility as Law of Attraction practitioners to remember that the others who create doubt in your mind don't understand what you have found in the Law of Attraction. And their opinions only affect you if you allow them to.
You are like the great inventors of the world, creating a wonderful physical manifestation for your life. So if others affect what you think and feel, then keep it quiet. Be like the great inventors of the world and believe in and build your dream without the sideway glances of others. You can achieve this by being silent. And once your image becomes physically manifested through the Law of Attraction, shout it from the rooftops.
