If at first you don't succeed

Many people have heard of the law of attraction, the idea that you are and you become what you think. Are you aware that you create your circumstances based on your beliefs? Do you focus on your potential or on what people tell you isn't possible? Could it be time to change your mind? What could you be doing differently? What are you doing to bring on uplifting conditions for you?

Rules exist and you may feel as though the world is against you. Things may not be going your way. You may initially feel discouraged because you permit yourself to doubt what's possible. Hold up a minute. Recognize what you're doing. Recognize you have the power to turn your life around for the better.

Consider the medical student who had applied for a position in a foregin country. She was very qualified and there was a clear need abroad for her services. She had time constraints by which time she had to begin serving or the arrangement wouldn't be possible. Bureaucratic roadblocks continued to present themselves. Her visa application was repeatedly held up and it looked like she wouldn't be able to go. The period of waiting involved made it easy to give up.

Finally, she received a letter in the mail and phoned the number listed at the end of the document. She explained her situation and was told by the woman at the other end of the line that nothing could be done. The patient, young physician kept her composure and asked to speak with the woman's boss. The physician was told the boss was unavailable, so she got the person's name and contact details. She phoned his secretary and arranged to meet with him.  In person, he was also adamant and inflexible. Still, she remained calm. As per protocol, she asked her lawyer to write a letter and request an appointment to his boss. She was invited to see this boss and was told nothing would be done. She asked to speak with his superior. The man became angry yet, provided the name of the appropriate authority. When the physician saw him, he didn't make a decision right away. He listened to her story and her motivation.  He said he'd get back to her. 

A week went by.  Then, the physician received a phone call from the woman she spoke with initially in foreign affairs. The physician was told exceptions hadn’t been made before, but the required visa was being processed in record time.  The physician smiled to herself and listened. 

Throughout the weeks of turmoil, the physician continued to believe she would be able to go on this journey and help others. She nurtured the promise inside her. She kept thanking the world for giving her the abilities she had. She sensed the answer she hoped for was on the way. She believed it.  She had come to far to give up on herself. She reflected on that process while on the plane to her destination to join the international team from Doctors without Borders.

As it happened, this physician has a friend who gave up on getting the required paperwork for the same trip. He complained about the process, the cost, and described how big his problems were.  He focused on what he wasn't doing, gave up before he started.  He was unable to join the other physician because he didn’t get organized and didn't believe he could.  When she returned from her expeirence abroad, she told her colleague that his best days were ahead of him, and that there was always next year.  She instilled faith in him to try again.

Blink in order to see

Have you ever dreamed that your guardian was nearby? Throughout your life, as you look around, you will encounter different kinds of people. How could you know whether any of them was really a heavenly messenger? Would that influence how you treat other people and what life choices you make? Wherever you are and whatever you do, people are watching.  As you embrace challenges that life provides, you will be less likely to deny the extraordinary.  You will learn to rescue your dreams.    

To believe that angels exist is a preliminary step.  If anyone you know or don't know chooses not to believe in angels, this doesn't mean they do not exist for you.  This doesn't prove that skeptics are wrong yet, existence of anything will be strengthened by your own will and inner power.  Faith resumes its importance when you love and cherish an idea.  Whatever you desire to see, if your heart is in it, and you exert earnest efforts with good intentions, you will see it.

It has been said that whatever your belief system, Higher Forces are 'out there' and must be experienced to be believed.  The slower you walk through your life, the more apt you will be to notice the presence of things beyond you.  We each choose points to fixate on at different periods in our lives. 

All the while, your dreams may be in the background, waiting for you to nourish them.  The guardian angels echo your inner soul which tells you to never cease to dream.  Your dreams are only as difficult to realize as you believe they are.  The more you learn about life, the more plausible your dreams become and the sillier your excuses seem for not devoting yourself to them.  Be like the thermostat that changes the room temperature.  Be the person who is inspired by mysteries and possibilities.  Blink in order to see what others don't choose to see.

Everything you need

People dream and evolve within themselves to determine what is true and what is false.  No kind of discouragement can prevent us from realizing our dreams except ourselves.  Will you take the risk to believe that all things are possible?  

You can be more determined than any external source of frustration, doubt or anxiety.  Convince yourself that you aren't a victim or a slave of your feelings.  Choose to be the master of yourself.  You are strong enough to search for those things that mean the most to you.  You can find a way to disregard those things which have no meaning in your life.  To let them go is to realize they exert no control.  Act instead to attract those things that enrich you.  As you go out into the world, be happy, have a positive attitude and allow your life to speak to people.

As you begin to sense you never really have or lose anything, you can accept habits, commitments and debts, and learn benefits in taking risks to learn from each one.  This is a lesson that you have the freedom to choose, to tap into and develop your particular gifts.  They are yours to be used.  Everything you need is right inside and right in front of you. Take a risk to take advantage.

Your actions speak louder than your words.  Let your actions talk for you. Show how risk-taking is worth it.  Rather than talk about the hardships you experience, reflect the life that shows how why you have reason to be consistently happy.  Send positive signals. Why would people want what you have? Reflect a disposition that convinces you and others you have all you need.  Take a risk to create the attitude that makes you feel good. Pay attention to signals of your gestures.

Whatever you focus on, you magnify

You would never have a dream in your heart without having the ability to realize it.  You may not feel like you're able to do something, but as you dare to take a step forward, you discover that you're able to do exactly what you set your mind to do.  Not everyone will be as excited as your dreams as you.  Don't change your dreams for your critics.  How would that help you?  Share your enthusiasm.  Inspire other people to rethink their own dreams instead.

Don't let the size of your dream discourage you from believing its possible. Have you ever thought your dreams are too big for you? that the nature of your vision is setting you up for a fall?  Remind yourself you are the reason why your dreams are ignored, disregarded or realized.  If you aren't content with where you are and what you've done, it all starts on the inside of you.

When was the last time that you focused on the things you wanted to see happen in your life? This opens your heart up.  This prepares you for the power of the law of attraction to do its positive work in your life.  If you aren't content with what you experience, you can evolve to trust that this is a test to help you live a more meaningful life.  Why not change your perspective? Recognize that how you think influences the life you are creating for yourself.

Its not only a saint that can live this life with dignity.  From the moment you begin to feel useless, just when you begin to feel you have nothing to focus your attention on, this is precisely the time to make room for the life you want.  It starts in your mind.  You can reinforce it in writing on paper and in words as you speak.  Reach out ot explore all your senses.   How can they reinforce your goals? Magnify the life you truly seek to live.

Awakening love from within

Love can't betray you because it has nothing to do with possession.  Any person who acts in such a way as to betray love is actually betraying something deeper inside about the self.  Ask yourself what potential lies within you that isn't being explored in your relationships.  Why do you withhold? Is this a clue to forgotten fears? 

When it comes to love, some people experience it and others don't.  No force or person can draw it out of you.  You can pretend you love someone and get used to that person, but is that the same as love?  To live in compliance with someone, to create a life with them even if you sense a nagging emptiness, suggests something significant is missing. 

Love can awaken repressed energy.  To love freely is to encourage people around you to love openly as well.  What does this mean?  As you learn to give free reign to your imagination, as you learn to take chances in relationships and tell the difference between pleasure and pain, you will experience different stages.  Love gives your life meaning.  It is also a new kind of test. 

Love gives you the courage to take risks and to throw your life off balance.  Don't be afraid to make choices that aren't on a map.  It's precisely through such experiences that you develop deeper compassion and move forward to allow stronger love to emerge.  Remind yourself what is right before your eyes.  The joy of being alive.  Is that not a true manifestation of a miracle? 

The euphoria at your fingertips leads to unanswered questions.  In order to understand the powers of love accessible inside, let negative thoughts surface; expectations, doubt, fear, and eliminate them.  Learn to feel good, to accept who you are and learn how you can connect with others.  Secrets will be revealed.
