Tendencies That I Have Been Noticing

I've started noticing things about people and myself. We all have a tendency to be curious about things. I've always been curious about what my fullest potential could be. I am always trying to advance in some way or other. It's like my curiosity sort of drives me to look at things in different ways. And I see this in other people too. I am grateful for my curiosity. Without it I would probably just accept whatever someone told me was possible for me instead of believing that more is possible. In fact, The Secret (the movie) played to my tendency to be curious. You'll find that a lot of marketing does this. They are playing on something within you. Then there's my tendency to expect fairness. Any time I don't see fairness, it upsets me. Understanding this helps me understand what is driving me. Through understanding how I can be manipulated, I've started understanding how other people and even myself manipulates myself. This is good because now I am more aware of things going on around me. And I more sure that my decisions are my own. My energy is not dissapatting as much as it was before. Things are lining up so much better for me now. I am more and more aligned each day. And I have the least amount of distractions possible. So things are flowing so much better. I am grateful.

Greetings, I am grateful and I am blessed beyond measure. I am grateful that I woke up today. There is a lot of good going on in my life. I am now being guided in ways that I am grateful for. I am meeting and interacting with great people. I am grateful for the food that I eat, the refreshments that I drink, the family that I have, and the nourishment that I give and receive in all areas of my life. I am grateful for how things are manifesting. I am grateful for life. I am grateful for any and all good that and others do. I realize that there is so much going well for me and I am grateful. The Law of Attraction is a law that I am understanding more each day. I am now utilizing it in good ways that are on positive paths. I am now recognizing when I am astray and I now easily get back in alignment. I am now sending out peace and understanding. I would like peace and prosperity for myself and for all who desire to do good in the World.

What Today Feels Like

I feel like today will be a good day, and I feel like good things will come to me unexpectedly. We will see how it goes. What I've learned to do lately is ask myself what am I supposed to learn here...what is this trying to tell me? These questions have made things flow a lot better for me. I'm looking at my circumstances like they're telling me something important, and then I make the changes I need to make. Right now I am open to receiving ideas, plans, and other types of information on some of the things that I have been asking for clarity about. I can see answers being sent to me all the time. Overall, my life is very very good and I am grateful for all that is in my life, both the good and what I might say is bad. I feel like they all teach me something. And so I am grateful for that too.

LOA Update

It's getting easier and more of a habit to think positively in the morning. I had noticed that in the morning a lot of negative thoughts, complaints, and whining would go on in my thoughts. I practiced changing them as I could remember to. Now I am more able to do so automatically. I've been including in my affirmations the idea of creating income streams. I was watching that movie The Social Network and there's a line where the deen of Harvard says "Harvards grads (or students or something) believe in creating a job instead of looking for one." I like that quote because I like the idea of creating value and creating streams of income in a leveraged way. Things like facebook add a lot of value to many people's lives. There's always good and bad, but there's a potential for a lot of good there. When I would wake up in the morning my thoughts would tend to try to belittle any attempts I would make at heading in that direction of creating several income streams in a good and leveraged way. I am very grateful now that those thoughts are slowing down. And I'm starting to pay more attention to the creating value aspect of it all. I feel like paying attention to making money only adds resistance. Now I am asking for additional clarity and directiom towards taking great and productive actions. There are definately some things I would like to change and I am grateful for many more things in my life than I tended to be in the past. I am feeling better about a lot of things, and for that I am very grateful. I would like to know more ways that I can be of value and also receive money in return in ways that literally feel good to me and that definately leverage my time in a highly profitable. I believe my time is very valuable and would like my skills and income to reflect that as well. When I think about it there are lots of problems that could use solutions. So I ask for clarity on how some of those solutions could be solved in practical ways. I feel like that would be best for me at this time. Really though, I'm open to whatever really is the best feeling and most fulfilling path because I know that I don't always see the big picture. For me it's about being on a middle way path. Not too high, not too low. Not so high on good feelings that I become arrogant and self righteous, but not so low that I become depressed, stagnant and stuck. LOA helps me with that, not because I think it's magic or anything like that, but because I recognize the power that our thoughts and actions have in our lives. Anything that helps a person have a more positive approach that they believe and that isn't forced, seems like a good way to me. I know there are lots of people trying to figure things out for themselves, so I figure...the better I am at being the best me, the better I can be at helping anyone else should those opportunities arise. The positive thoughts really do begin to change how you see life and how you act in life.

The Complain and Blame Game

Look, it seems like the more I've been studying how wealth is created, the more people around me seem to literally complain about money and say negative statements about money. I've been catching myself doing the same thing. So I am now going to treat them like I would want to be treated. I feel like if I experience it in them it is also me doing the same thing. And since I'm interested in creating wealth, I'm going to take these experiences as opportunities to change my thoughts and my responses. I spent the last of the cash I had helping some family out. In those moments I had to correct my responses. At first I was like, dang...now I don't have any more money. And then I started feeling bad and thinking alot of limiting thoughts. So I stopped and asked myself what I wanted. What I want is to have more than plenty of money to easily help family with bills, and whatever else they need help with money with. I want to have several sources of income that feel really really good to me. I want to go to my mailbox, on a weekly basis, and find multiple checks paying me more than $100,000 per week in great feeling ways. I want to act on inspired ideas that create greater and greater wealth for me and everyone around me. I want to have wealth beyond my wildest imaginations, easily and consistently. And then when my family did the complaining. I saw them wealthy in my mind. And because I felt like I was attracting the experience, I forgave myself for getting mad at them and complaining about them complaining...and then I went on from there. That helped me feel better. Then a little bit later I started watching documentary videos on wealthy people and I noticed my thoughts about them. If any thoughts thet felt like hater thoughts, or limiting thoughts, surfaced, I did the same thing and started thinking about them how I would want to think about myself. And that helped a lot.

Don't Be Redonkulus!!!

Makes you think about redonkulus things right? Well, maybe. I was just thinking about my last post, and money absolutely is a part of weatlh. But what am I talking about here when I talk about money being a part of wealth? Well I know money is symbol/idea that we use to "move" our wealth around. I know that if I want to attract wealth, one way is to create and or provide something that people want. Thinking about that causes me to feel grateful for all of the things that I have on a material and spiritual level. I am grateful for all the people who have provided the value that allow me to easily right this and post it. My intention is to create wealth and provide massive value. That is my intention. I feel like this blog may create some wealth. It might be a small amount at this time, but at least it creates even a little bit. My intention is to discover how to increase the wealth it provides on a daily basis. My intention is to also create positivity in the lives of those around me as well as in my own life too. I was thinking about time, money, material possessions, expenses, and income. And my intention is to now attract income sources that amount to at least 11 times my cost of living. I think jobs are great, and I also want income sources that do not require me to be active in it. When I see someone who owns the land that big chain stores pay rent on to have their stores on it....that's an inspiration to me. That's money coming in without having to be active in the income stream. You could hire a management team as you have more and more properties like that. You are providing a value and creating wealth in that way. Then I think of people who act in movies and music stuff like that. Brings to mind the idea of royalties. Or stocks, investing in companies. Investing in personal education and the education of others too...I feel like that creates a lot of positivity and wealth. They say a master can be measured by the quality and amount of masters they have trained. Really, whether it fits here or not, that's just what came to mind. Then I think about this wonderful internet... There has to be lots of ways that I can provide wealth right now with this wonderful internet as a tool. So don't be redonkulus... I said that because yesterday I was thinking like people only thought about money when they thought about wealth. And I was saying that it can be a part of wealth. But today I feel like it definitely is a part of wealth. It is like the moving truck that moves your valuables from your old house to your new house. Haha. New affirmations... I am now grateful to have multiple sources of truly passive income that cause me to easily have 11 times or more in money than all of my expenses combined. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[greetingsimgrateful-blog]

Maybe...

Maybe what I want to do is create and have wealth. Money is not wealth. It can be a part of wealth, but the two are different entities. Wealth is the actual things and aspects that we want and have, both physically and spiritually. My new affirmation... I am now creating wealth on massive scales in my life and in the lives of others, easily and frequently, in increasing amounts, with consistency and grace.

You See It?

So there was this song right...I used to listen to it a lot. The chorus had a line that said "You See It?" It's a rap song by Lil Flip. I don't remember the words. I just remember that part distinctly. Well, I was experiencing some people close to me complaining about money again and that line came into my mind. I thought to myself...I do see it! Now what? Let's change it. So this journal is going to have some posts on it that talk like certain things are had. The purpose is to change that around and focus on something better. I will sometimes post on here like that as one of the ways that I do that. So what does it look like? I'll write out today and tomorrow (in this post) like it already happened and have fun with the process. So today: Was a very good day. I had a very delicious breakfast. I had plenty of money in my pocket throughout the day. I got a new book that I am excited to read. I started learning a new language. Easily filled my vehicles with gas. I had some excellent conversations with people that felt really good. I received an extra $1,000 in cash in a very unexpected good feeling way. I had an even better lunch. It was an unexpected free meal that I appreciated greatly. I donated $10,000 to the local food bank because I deposited the $100,000 check I received in the mail today. I always immediately give a minimum of 10% of whatever I receive to a food bank or some cause like a food bank. I caught up all of my families bills today. That was fun. It feels good being able to easily pay bills in full and on time. I appreciate a of the servicesand value that I am blessed with. I created a lot of value for people today. The best part is it's stuff that keeps on giving value whether I am present or not. I booked a hotel room and a flight across the country to go visit family. I started planning a big thanksgiving dinner to invite friends and family too. Lot's of great things happened to me. I went and test drove lots of cars that i like and I had narrowed down my choices to a few when the Universe nudged me to the perfect vehicle for me. This vehicle is so great. I feel really good driving it. It looks great. It's luxurious. It's fast. I'm looking at it and appreciating it right now as I write this. Wow, what a vehicle. Dinner was amazing. I went to a very nice restaurant and had plenty of money as always to easily pay for myself and everyone who came with me. We must of had some good mojo going on because we got excellent service and everyone was having a great time. I love these kinds of memories and I appreciate them greatly. You know what else? I even found out tonight that I had won a substantial amount of money, and I I've decided to give $1,000,000 of that money to a friend that has really been a positive blessing in my life lately. I can see their reaction already. They can't believe it but I keep reassuring them that it's true. Wow, it is such an awesome feeling. I can see that they feel relieved and blessed and I am glad that I was blessed to be apart of that. I am looking forward to what happens tomorrow.

How Do You Change How You Attract Money?

I have been doing much better lately, but I feel like the flow could be much better as well. Maybe I'll get clear about what I want, write it down, then have fun for like 7 days straight haha. Sounds like a plan. Imagine what good things can happen when you are feeling good. What I've noticed is this, there are people with lot's of money, and people without that much money. People without money often times blame the lack of money for their problems and for how they feel. Truth is it's how you respond that has the most impact on how you feel. People with a lot of money still have problems too, they just have different ones. So having a bunch of money won't necessarily solve all of your problems. I think it just makes you more of what you already are. So if you complain a lot, you'll just be a complainer with a lot of money who finds more to complain about. If you are a grateful person most of the time, you'll be a grateful person with more money. Money is very interesting subject because we each feel some kind of way about it. It is my intention to feel good about money. Not just good about money, but great about money. It's not always what you do that matters most in my opinion. It's more so how you do it. I feel like its the same kind of thing with money. It's not about the money specifically, it's about how you feel about it and what you do with it. What I've also noticed is just the repeated manifestation of the same money problems and same bad feelings and same points of view... And I keep thinking, okay, who said that you "have" to keep repeating the patterns? When you really want something you have to be able to make the appropriate adjustments to get there. When it comes to money... I believe those changes start first in our thinking and in how we feel. I have to ask myself, what do I want the money for? And then ask for those things with 100% expectancy of that or something better. That's what feels like is best right now. I have a great understanding of how my inspired actions feel and so I am asking to receive more of those. So I can carve out this new path. Right now I feel grateful. In this moment I am good and I have an infinite amount of things to be grateful. Universe I am asking to be nudged towards the inspired actions that will help me (as my first goal) earn and or receive $10,000 or more per month in fun, fulfilling, joyfull, interesting, value producing ways that I absolutely love to experience. That's what feels good to me right now. With that I'd have plenty to give to food banks and things like that. I'd have plenty to help family out with bills. I'd have plenty to cover all of my basic needs and the basic needs of more than just myself. And I'd have more than enough to do more of what can have positive impacts on the communities around wherever I am. This feels like it's coming from a good place. If I have to I will refuse to particiapte in any talk that expands the lack money, complains about money, or reinforces the beliefs that one is destined to be broke....especially if I hear it from family and friends. Which reminds me, I want to consistently be around people who feel good about money, people who talk good about money, people who invest wisely and produce wealth, people who create and use their creativity and who like to help others as well, starting with within myself first. That way I will be more focused in that way, and as I help myself more and more I'll be able to help others as well.

Can You Be Grateful For The Drama In Your Life?

That, my friends, is the question. I've been away from family for a while now, with very little drama in my life. Guess what happened? I get back around family and it's like the drama never stopped. I got a "hey...good to see you." Then an influx of reports on all the drama. People acting selfish in negative ways, creating more drama by repeating it over and over. This time it didn't get me down, or I should say I didn't get myself down too much. I did, however, start to think about what I wanted to happen. I want everyone's bills to be paid in full easily and consistently. I want everyone to do work that fulfills them. I want us to get along smoothly and work as a great team. My grandmother used to tell me that five fingers spread out aren't as strong as a fist of fingers balled together. That's what I want for my family. So when I hear all this stress and pain, I want them to have peace and happiness. I think we all might tend to get a little frustrated when we don't understand what to do to make changes. So I am asking that I and the rest of us start recognizing what we CAN do. It's easy for me to see the patterns of others, especially in my family, and I'd like to see my own patterns with even better quality as well so I can make the appropriate changes. I am just going to focus on what I want for myself and for others in positive ways. If anyone reading this has any ideas on how to attract better for me and my family with my own thoughts and actions, please share. I thank you ahead of time, and I desire all the best for you as well.

Grateful For Life Right Now

Met tons of nice people today. I appreciate that a lot. Things are flowing really well right now. I am looking forward to all of the unexpected awesomeness coming my way.

Newbie Shakes off Stinking Thinking

Look, people will like you and people will hate you…but it’s a waste of your creative energy worrying about those that negatively criticize you for no constructive reason.

Constructive being the operative word here. So what I’ve been learning to do is to stay focused on what I want. That’s really the bottom line. I know a lot of the things I want…Some people around me don’t believe that they can get it…

So when I see that in them, I treat it like I’m seeing that in me and I focus on what I want and tell them they can do it too.

So far I’ve been feeling good about that. If I had $200,000 cash right now today, I’d give half to my friend who has been helping me out, then I’d go and pursue another opportunity that came my way. I almost had a lot of stinking thinking about that situation, but I’m focused on what I want. I’ll keep doing that and will see what happens.

I appreciate all the opportunities a lot. Less than a month ago that’s what I’d been asking for. Now In have an influx of opportunities. I’d like to act on the ones that feel the best as I get a clearer picture of what I’d like to do.

I want to what fulfills.me, what’s interesting, what provides massive value to people all over the world, what brings in amounts of money amd wealth that feel good to me and allow me to contribute even more good around the world, and stuff like that.

So, shaking of the stinking thinking is probably a good thing to do. Don’t ya think?

Later…

Listen More Than I Talk That's What I Was Taught

So I'm recognizing this amazing phenomenon. It's like messages are coming to me through conversation with random people. I'm not saying like prophetic messages or anything like that...what I'm saying is I can be somewhere and other people will engage me in conversation talking about the very things that I have been putting my focus on. They'll say things that cause me to ask myself am I sure that this is what I want. I think it's awesome. For some time now I set an intention of having $10,000 and or more flowing to me every month in good feeling ways. Then, I am having conversations and people start talking about how they aren't motivated by money and don't really want a lot of it...they just want to have fun... Others said they wouldn't want to make new friends and that they'd want their current friends to be rich with them. Others said people sell their souls for money and all this other stuff. And I was like, these are their fears. Are they mine too? Maybe these are my unconscious fears... They say you are the average of the 5 people you hang out the most...So Intend for us all to raise our levels or for me to start spending more time with people who are allowing that $10,000 or more per month level. I'm saying, I know people do bad things to get money. But there are also people who do good things too. The more I know myself, the more good I know I can do. Starting from where I'm at. I just think the convos were interesting. Then you have the people who poke fun at you because your new to something or they percieve you as not working as hard as them... But I think if you're going to be working hard, work smart too. Why talk about people with money like they can do everything and like you aren't worthy to reach that level? And then work harder and harder and harder, meanwhile bearing the same fruit that you complain about. At some point you have to work smarter if you indeed want a change. I suppose it's a bit of a balancing act between your thoughts, how you feel, and your work ethic. At some point though, you have to start telling law of attraction to bring you what you want instead of telling it to bring you what you don't want. I literally believe it can be as easy as you think it can be. I am grateful for all of these experiences because I'm starting to pick up on patterns.

They Do It Because They Think They Can

So I was wondering why people try to manipulate other people, why they try to force other people to be certain ways in order to fill their own needs... And stepped back and evaluated myself as well. How am I doing that? To who? Stuff like that. Because I'm realizing more and more that what we think and feel is then attracted to us in kind. I can't control other people, and frankly I rather not waste my energy doing that. It doesn't seem moral to me. What seems moral to me, is controlling my ownself and moving through what I fear. I think a lot of growth happens when we move through our fears. So, I was also wondering why do people tend to blame other people for things that don't work out in their own lives. Now I'm more so talking about like not getting the type of money they want or whatever. Not something specific like something that involves a team working together with minimal mistakes required in order to succeed. I just mean like, ok...you have an attitude that is focused on everything you don't like about your job or whatever, and then blame your sour mood on the job or on the boss. And no matter how relevant that is...it doesn't matter as much as how you "personally" think about it. Because that's how you will be attracting things. So you can blame all you want, but until you send something different...you will reinforce that other stuff. I think they do that because they think they can without reprecussions. I think we do the same to ourselves because we don't recognize the reprecussions. But when someone does realize the reprecussions...they are more able to change their thoughts and actions and attract better from that energy. That's all I wanted to talk about real quick. Have a nice day.

I'm Getting It And Good is Attracted to Me

So what do I have going for me? A lot. I'm good looking. I'm intelligent. I'm curious. I'm a good person. I'm polite (unless I'm pissed off lol). I desire the best for me and for all of us. I have been eating really well for the past two months. Opportunities come to me on what seems like a daily basis. I've been learning about my ego and how to know when I'm resisting good. I'm getting better and better at responding in effective ways to what I perceive as people talking negatively of me. I have money flowing to me and I feel like hundreds of thousands and even millions are ready to flow to me. I desire to contribute positively to food banks, to education systems and facilities, to random people, and things like that. I have had beautiful relationships and I feel like a great relationship is ready for me right now. I have seen awesome things that I hadn't experienced before. People are kind to me. I have clothes that I feel good in. I have shelter that is awesome. I have shoes that feel good on my feet. My self-esteem is getting higher and higher. There are all kinds of infrastructures in place that make it easy for me to get food and drink and I appreciate that. There is just so much good in my life. I feel like if I write these things down and give them attention... they'll multiply in my life. Do you feel the same way for you and yours?
