‘people talk about the reality of their life as if it is important. and we want you to understand, it’s only the temporary indicator. do you go to the  gas station-your gas gauge is on empty-do you go to the gas station and look at your gas gauge in horror? ‘how did this happen?  why, why, why did this happen to me?’ do you lay your head on the  steering wheel and just sob? ‘oh, look what it’s come to. i’m finished.  i’ve lived all of this life, and look where i am.’ or do you just fill up?’

‘be easy about it. don’t rush into things. savor them more. make more plans and be more deliberate and specific about the plans you are making, and in all you do, let your dominant intent be to find that which pleasures you as you imagine it. let your desire for pleasure and your desire for feeling good be your only guiding light. as you seek those thoughts  that feel good, you will always be in vibrational harmony with the energy that is your source. and under those  conditions, only good can come to you — and only good can come from  you.’

last saturday, on the best fall day of the year, some good friends were visiting from north carolina. we opted out of the bustle of the city, and instead chose to visit george washington’s mount vernon. unbeknownst to us, it was also fall festival weekend, so there were a bunch of additional activities to enjoy, which made the day even more perfect. (as in, i got to talk to the kindest, most knowledgeable farrier about horses and horseshoes for a loooong time. SWOON.)

enjoy.

‘though we can’t always see it at the time, if we look upon events with some perspective, we see things always happen for our best interests. we are  always being guided in a way better than we know ourselves.’

‘child of mine, i will never do for you that which i know you can do for  yourself. i will never rob you of an opportunity to show yourself your ability and talent. i will see you at all times as the  capable, effective, powerful creator that you’ve come forth to be. and i will stand back as your most avid cheerleading section. but i will not  do for you that which you have intended to do for yourself. anything you need from me, ask. i’m always here to  compliment or assist. i am here to encourage your growth, not to justify my experience through you.

continuing to tell stories of shortage only continues to contradict your desire  for abundance, and you cannot have it both ways: you cannot focus upon what is unwanted and receive wanted. you cannot focus upon stories  about money that make you feel uncomfortable and allow into your  experience what makes you feel comfortable. You have to begin telling a  different story if you want different results.

we would begin by saying: i want to feel good, i want to feel productive  and expansive. my thoughts are the basis for the attraction of all  things that i consider to be good, which includes enough money for my comfort and  joy, which includes health and wonderful people around me who are  stimulating and uplifting and exciting.’

‘as a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. to make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. to make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.’
