Act As If

"Act as if it were impossible to fail."

-Dorothea Brande

Are you waiting to act successful until you are successful? Are you waiting to feel joy until you are in joy? Are you waiting to feel abundant until you are abundant?

Can you detect the strangeness of such an approach? Or perhaps that it is self-defeating?

If you wait until something happens to feel what you want to feel, then they will not. You will just keep waiting. You will end up in the illusion of "life will happen when....", which never arrives!

Here's another approach:

1) Identify what you think it will feel like when you are experiencing the things you desire in life
2) Reflect on the consciousness/way of being that you think a person has when they are successful, feeling joy and abundance. What do they think? How do they act?
3) Choose to feel and act how you think you will "when you are successful"
4) Act as if it is so!

Soon you will find that reality will reflect what you want. Because you are being that which will create it!!!!

A Kiss from the Universe

Synchronicity is a kiss from the universe!

Synchronicity closely connected to the workings of the Law of Attraction.

I refer to the universe as the larger cosmos of all things. The nature of the universe for you is different from the person next to you. Your state of being, your attitude, your beliefs, your choices-all influence your experience of the universe.

So let's "try on" that the universe wants you to succeed, that it rejoices in your joy and delights in the fulfillment of who you are. Let's say that the universe actually is designed to help you succeed and that queues, signals, resources, and connections are always present for you to partake in.

Your soul is connected to the universe. Your soul is where your purpose and authentic power reside. I believe true success results when you live from this place. The universe wants this for you.

The universe, in collaboration with your soul, creates synchronicities, which are played out in the physical realm. If you pay attention, you will find that your soul attracts people, occurences, events, etc. into your life to help you evolve into what you want and/or to place emphasis on something meant to support you.

I invite you to play with this a while. Allow yourself to open to the wonders of synchronicity, and watch how your ability to attract what you want increases.

Come on, allow your self to be kissed by the universe! :)

Do You Resist What You Want?

I know, it's actually kind of ridiculous.

But it's true.

We all resist the very things we want at some point and time.

Why is that?

Well, I'm not going to go too far into that today. But I will say we live in a society saturated with paradigms that:

1) Tell us it is not OK to want what we want
2) Tell us it is not really possible to have what we want

In addition, we have this fear of actually being in our joy. Say what? Yes, we fear being in our joy. Marianne Williamson puts this another way, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us."

A key to attracting what you want in life is to follow a path of least resistance. To do this, you need to know what resistance is and how it shows up in you. If you want to know less resistance, and attract what you desire, you need to learn how resistance shows up for you. By recognizing it, you are able to transcend living in automatic and fear mode, and with awareness make new choices.

When you follow the path of least resistance, you learn how to use resistance as a queue for shifting your attention and direction, therefore allowing yourself to be in the flow.

SUGGESTION: For those of you that like exercises/want to explore this further... you can write down any or all of the following:

1) How do you know when you are resisting? i.e. What do you feel? What happens?
2) What do you do when you are resisting? i.e. What choices and actions do you take?
3) Identify what resistance feels like in you. What does it feels like in your body?
4) Create a list of things that you think you resist. This can include people, beliefs, circumstances, places, actions.

Another idea: Start paying more attention to how resistance shows up in your life. Take time to notice how and when it comes up. Does it occur daily? Does it happen around certain people or circumstances?
