A 10 Second Lesson in Love *MUST SEE*

Many of us have learned more than one lesson in love from the same source–Mr. Fred Rogers. The man behind the fame of “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood” was a special individual with a kind and caring heart. He has been gone from us for some time now. But still, his lessons and legacy live on in so many of us.

His selflessness was remarkable. Today, we are sharing a short video of Mr. Rogers accepting an award. And, even at the moment that was his time, he used the moment as a lesson in love.

Many of us know someone special who gave us the confidence to hold onto hope and achieve our dreams. They built your confidence, gave you a strong voice, told you they loved you, or maybe just hugged you when you needed it most.

So, once we saw this video of the one and only Mr. Fred Rogers giving an acceptance speech for a lifetime achievement award at the 1997 Emmy Awards we knew that we must share it with you.

This 10-second lesson in love will stick with you forever.

Many people have helped you to where you are right now,  whether you’ve realized it or not.  The direction life takes is guided by individual offerings of love that has guided you into your current state of being.

So ask yourself, “Who has loved me into being?

We understand the emotions that may have just come up, and if you would like, please share your 10-second experience with us below.

Those who have cared about you and wanted what was best for you in life. And, it doesn’t matter where they are right now.  Those special people are happy to know of the difference you feel they’ve made in your life.  Allow your light to reflect the likeness of those who have loved you into a more positive, natural state of being – the way you were always meant to be.  Shine ON!

If you don’t enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are you’re not going to be very happy. If someone bases his/her happiness on major events happiness-quotelike a great job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn’t going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.” – Andy Rooney

3 Steps to Make the Law of Attraction Work for You

The Law of Attraction is a powerful force as real as the Law of Gravity. It’s working at all times, whether we are consciously aware of it or not.

The Law of Attraction simply states “like attracts like”.  Your positive (and negative) thoughts, words, and actions will attract that back to you in some form.

Just as this world is composed of physical matter, it is also in energy form. What has happened in the world and is happening, has been attracted in some way. It doesn’t always seem fair; but when we begin to learn more about the Law of Attraction and how it can work for us, we can begin to create the life we desire.

A life we truly LOVE!

“The action of mind plants that nucleus which, if allowed to grow undisturbed, will eventually attract to itself all the conditions necessary for its manifestation in outward visible form.” – Thomas Troward

The History of The Law of Attraction


Thomas Troward
, a thought leader who had a strong influence on today’s beliefs of the Law of Attraction, claimed that thought precedes physical form. He believed,

“The action of mind plants that nucleus which, if allowed to grow undisturbed, will eventually attract to itself all the conditions necessary for its manifestation in outward visible form.”

Another new thought leader, James Allen who wrote “As a Man Thinketh” (which is free on Amazon for the kindle version), believed this same theory. His book brought faith, inspiration, and self healing to the millions who have read it.

The most popular modern-day reference to the Law of Attraction is “The Secret“, a book and movie, by Rhonda Byrne.  Both teach the concept that your thoughts become things. So if your thoughts are mostly positive you will attract more positive. If your focus is more on negative than that is also what you will attract.

So, the Law of Attraction seems pretty easy and self-explanatory, right?

Sure, yet so many people learn about it, understand it, try to apply it and have trouble. Today, so many people are unhappy, depressed, and in ruins with life, finances, and relationships. So, we want to spread the word on this powerful force and, in a very concise and easy way, we want to guide you through the process of the Law of Attraction, and how to use it to your advantage to create the life you truly desire.

3 Simple Steps to the Law of Attraction

STEP 1: ASK

Most people are familiar with the phrase “Ask, Believe, Receive.”   While “Ask” is considered the first step of creation in the Law of Attraction, and we believe Asking is very important, it is only part of it. Before you ask, be sure it is what you truly wish for.

To start, give yourself time to be alone in silence, where you can sit and reflect on life. Get your computer, journal or notebook and allow the creative ideas to flow. Ask yourself. . .

“What are my dreams?”

“How about my desires?”

“What are my needs?”

“Where can I see myself going?”

“What do I love to do?”

“What is fun for me?”

law-of-attraction-journalAllow yourself to open up

Dream and be playful with your visions – just like a child. Children believe they can do anything and do it well. Some of us tend to lose that feeling as we get older and make mistakes. Mistakes are part of life and they allow us to adapt, change and grow. We can truly have, be and do anything we set our mind to.

As you do this, write whatever comes to your mind. Allow only good thoughts and feelings to flow. Good feelings are truly the key to the Wish then Ask process. If your dreams scare you just a little bit, that’s okay. In fact, that’s good! It means your vision is BIG and your potential is BIG enough to achieve it. Keep visualizing them, feeling better and better.

To increase the Law of Attraction visualization and creation processes, we strongly suggest having a vision board. A vision board takes your thoughts and puts them in a physical form you can see all throughout the day. You can also meditate if you’re into that. Meditation for 5-10 minutes a day can really help unlock and increase your power.

Once you’ve truly decided what it is your wishing for, stay focused and ASK. Asking transforms the entire Wish process, and begins creation.

Law of Attraction: Step 1 – CHECK!

STEP 2: BELIEVE

The next step is believing. At this stage, you intentionally visualize how you would like things to be.   Afterward, you allow yourself to feel the feeling of that belief being fulfilled. You want to have unwavering faith that what you desire is coming to YOU.

As you visualize this, you have a strong knowing that it is already on its way!

Due to the buffer of time, things don’t always happen instantly. That’s okay. Stay positive. Sometimes impatience or doubt can creep in during this stage and completely reverse the creation.

Living in faith and positive emotion will continue to allow what you desire to flow to you.

Allow each day to be filled with hope, belief, strength, and passion for what is to come – release doubt, worry and fear.

Keep your actions aligned with your intentions and your desires will naturally attract. Negative emotion does not serve you. It is an illusion to hold you back.

Doreen Virtue described this process very well on an interview she had with Lisa Garr on GaiamTV. She described the law of attraction process like placing an order at a restaurant. You look over the menu and decide exactly what you want. When the waiter comes, you give him the order with any specific requests. The waiter happily takes your order and heads to the kitchen. While you’re waiting, you enjoy yourself with friends or family, not worrying if the waiter is going to get the order right or if it will even come. Know that you will be taken care of and that everything will be fine.

The second stage is where you happily wait and enjoy the journey. Yes, it may and usually will require action – it is the Law of AttrACTION after all! To be sure you are taking the correct action, that is in alignment with your wish, you can listen and follow your intuition. Here, you are taking inspired action steps that are calling you to bring your wishes to fruition.

During this process, it’s important to keep your passion flowing, but not overdo it. Live in the moment and allow time to just be.  Take time to be present; trust, and believe in the process. Being present allows you to connect with everything around you, and recognize the gifts of opportunity being presented that will allow you to move forward.the universe

3 Key Emotions Needed during the Belief Process

STRENGTH

A strong intention requires inner strength.  Many desires reside in a place where you aren’t currently at, and you have to keep your thoughts, words, and actions positive and in alignment with your intention to ultimately attract your desire.  You know that your intention is for your best interest, but as you set your intention,  there will be temptation to fall back into the old habits and patterns that ultimately keep you from what you want to attract.  The light energy wants you, but so does the dark – they both want to grow.  All throughout the spiritual world, we are told not to give into temptation – that the blessings can be taken from you as quickly as they are given. Your thoughts can be influenced, but in the big picture, they are your sole possession.

TRUST

The effectiveness of your belief systems is built on a foundation of trust.  What you feel is true can only be true for you if you trust that your belief process will ultimately bring your desires to fruition.  If you feel that your beliefs will not attract your best life, you do not trust them, and they will not help attract what you seek, but something else. Remember that the Law of Attraction works both ways; it can bring you what you want, and it can also bring you what you don’t want.  It’s up to you to trust in the process.

GRATITUDE

Gratitude is key in the Law of Attraction.  The Universe rarely delivers all that you desire in one fell swoop, but rather gives you bits and pieces of the puzzle to realize and put together.  For each bit and piece, you must trust that it is being delivered for your best interest overall, and be thankful for it. Thankfulness for what you already have before your desires are delivered is the main ingredient in this recipe for success.

law-of-attractionOverall, depending on your own thoughts and expectancy, the Intention Process can possibly take the longest. The length is truly dependent upon YOU. Stay patient, focused and determined that it will happen while remaining open to it possibly coming in a slightly different form. This can and does happen. The abundance you’re seeking comes through a different avenue.

Potential mistakes and challenges can arise and that’s okay – that’s part of the fun of it. You always learn something new and grow just a little more. 😉 Remain steadfast because receiving is the next and last step of the Law of Attraction.

Law of Attraction: Step 2 – CHECK!|

believe and receive

STEP 3: RECEIVE

When you begin the receiving process of the Law of Attraction, congratulate yourself and CELEBRATE! You deserve it! This excitement will help the manifestation process fully come to fruition, possibly even accelerate it and exceeding your expectation.

Continue to live in positive emotions and realize and reflect on the true power that you’ve always had within you. You can achieve success like this in anything you apply these principals to.  Remember, this isn’t something you’ve just activated because you are conscious of it, it’s been working the entire time. Now you know how to fully harness your power through the Law of Attraction. Every thought, word, and action forms a co-creation with God and the Universe. You do have the infinite power of co-creation.

Consciously working the Law of Attraction to your advantage can bring you success beyond what you may have previously thought impossible. The potential for everything exists in God and the Universe, but the ability to attract exists in YOU.

Every day, continue to receive and FEEL the positive energy and emotions flow through, so you can live in a state of constant allowing and receiving for your highest good. A state of continual success.

Law of Attraction: Step 3 – CHECK! Process  DONE. Enjoy the harvest! 🙂

How to Create the Life You Love Through Divine Awareness

Have you ever felt like you’ve received “a sign from above”? Perhaps you are captivated by a billboard message, an overheard discussion, or a specially delivered directive via meditation or prayer. And, it makes you feel like the Divine is talking to you individually. That is Divine Awareness.

indeed, people experience these moments every single day. These don’t happen only because they just coincidentally notice. But they occur because humans are in direct contact with the Divine in every waking moment.

Believe it or not, each individual thought, both conscious and subconscious, delivers a signal to the Divine that is not only received – but responded to. Each thought, word, or action you create brings a response from the Divine that opens up an opportunity for you to either expand or contract that specific experience. The Divine does not have a single way of communicating with you either.  It’s up to you to recognize,  translate, and act upon these messages returned from the Divine to ultimately create your destiny.

The Divine is always communicating. Are you tuned in?

How to tune into Divine Awareness

divine awarenessYour surroundings, like you, are all made up of the Divine.  Our entire physical world is made up of living energy, and anything can become the medium chosen by the Divine to communicate to you at any given time.  It’s up to you to see the messages being delivered, and act on them accordingly.

How do you do this?

Here are three simple ways to Tune into Divine Awareness:

  • Be present – Live in the Now
  • Pay attention to Synchronicities
  • Take action on opportunities

A great example of this occurred to me just the other day.  We were taking a trip with our very tired (and grumpy) toddler. The moment I could feel myself starting to stress and grip the steering wheel, I looked up and saw a billboard that said “Stay Cool”.  I knew right away that I was being told something, so I listened and “stayed cool”.  Immediately after, I looked at the clock and saw 1:11.  It was a confirmation. I had responded to the Divine; I allowed myself to create a better moment.  Long story short, the rest of the day turned out amazing.  Everything went along seamlessly, despite the bit of stress developed earlier in the day.  I did not allow the negative thoughts, words and actions to build.  I took action to allow positive growth.

“Like each jigsaw puzzle piece that comes together to complete a picture,  the picture of your life is pieced together with each thought, word, and action.”

Creating from Divine Awareness

To create what you desire in life, must not only learn how to tune into Divine Awareness. In addition, you must make conscious decisions from it.  If a thought, word or action sprouts up and makes you feel good, more thoughts, feelings, and experiences in alignment with your good feeling will be created.

The connection to the Divine is eternal, no matter how you feel about it.  So if you seek growth and change, you must move energy away from what you do not want and shift it toward what you do want.  Here are some examples:

  • Rather than focusing on less war, focus on the growth of peace.
  • Instead of focusing on shedding unwanted weight, focus on the body you desire.
  • Rather than focusing on quitting a job you dislike, focus on getting into a job you love.

And so on…

 The best part about all of this is that you can begin communicating and creating with the Divine right now by tuning into the NOW  There’s no waiting around for the next spiritual taxi to come to pick you up; you have a Divine chauffeur ready right now, prepared to take you where you want to go.

The messages are always being sent.  Are you ready to listen, act, and create a life you know you deserve?

  • Be impeccable with your word
    Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love.
  • Don’t take anything personally
    Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
  • Don’t make assumptions
    Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
  • Always do your best
    Your best will change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

As you make these four agreements, your life will dramatically change. Integrating them into your being and every area of your life will soon become a practice that pays off generously.

Abraham-Hicks has created a true masterpiece that we have enjoyed since day one.  “Getting into the Vortex” means aligning with your highest self,which is also known as your direct connection to the divine – the broader part of who you are.  The teachings of Abraham in these guided meditations and books refer to us as a direct extension of pure positive source energy. Furthermore, only a fraction of that becomes our physical form.  It states that our purpose here is to live a life of contrast, recognizing what we don’t want to recognize what we do want. In turn, we cause the Universe to expand.  This practice is known as the Law of Attraction.  The Law of Attraction states, “The essence of that which is like unto itself, is drawn.”  In other words, you create your reality through your thoughts, both subconscious and conscious.

Tapping: An Ancient Technique to Unlock Your Full Potential

If I told you that you could completely change your life in ten days, wouldn’t you jump at that chance? The ancient art of tapping is a game-changer for those who slog through daily life without truly living.

Many of us go through life without ever realizing that there is so much more available to receive. We accept what life has dealt us without questioning it. We come to accept health, emotional, and economic troubles just as they are and quickly lose sight of the dreams we once envisioned so passionately.

But, what if things could be different? What if we could change our lives for the better with one simple technique?

There IS actually one simple technique, and it’s called “Tapping”.

emotional-freedom-tappingWhat is Tapping?

Tapping is a technique that has been used for over five thousand years, discovered in Chinese doctrine. Ancient Chinese medical doctors would promote this to their patients thousands of years ago as a way to heal themselves.

In many ways, tapping is much like acupuncture. You take negative energy or pain and focus on it. Then, tapping five to seven times on meridian points, you can release the negative emotional energy that has been blocking you from receiving your abundance. It’s quite simple actually. It can help you achieve more physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Wayne Dyer has said that Tapping transformed his life. He learned what he had control over in his life and how to channel his energy. He also states that he is much more aware of energy in his life and home and owes that to Tapping.

How Does This work?

In a nutshell, Tapping rewires your brain. It can change your whole outlook on life along with every aspect of it. It can help you with emotional disorders, financial difficulties, relief from chronic pain, addictions, phobias, physical diseases and much more.

There’s a reason why many celebrities also regularly practice Tapping. With Tapping, you’ll find the secret to physical and emotional strength. You can and will take your own well-being into your hands and make a better outcome for yourself.

The fact is, you can transform your life. You really do have that power. However, in order to achieve that, you must have the desire to claim it. That is what tapping is all about. Getting the future you deserve by releasing what does not serve you and channeling the positive energy to fully receive. The best part is, anyone can do it.tapping-mind
