A Beautiful Day!

Life is in full bloom!

Life is in full bloom!

I am choosing to make today a beautiful day.  It really starts with your mental frame of mind when you wake up in the morning.  Last night I woke up at 3:30 AM and really couldn’t go back to sleep.  I decided to write for a while before returning back to bed.  When I got up this morning, I could have chosen to be tired and have no energy.  However, today I am choosing an awesome day filled with love, abundance, and peace.  And guess what?  That is exactly what I will have. 

I took the picture above about a week or two ago when this plant was in full bloom.  It was beautiful, kind of like the day I am going to experience today.

Peace, love, and gratitude,

Man, This Stuff WORKS!

You know, the Law of Attraction really works!  It is something I practice daily but sometimes I have to be reminded.  For the past 10 years that I have been going to our local post office, I have not had good success in getting in and out quickly.  Every single time I went in to mail a package, there would be a long line.  That was until this week.

As I started off to the post office, I immediately thought, “Man, it is going to be crowded.”  I quickly caught myself and focused on having an empty line when I got there even though my belief told me this wasn’t possible.  I did my visualization and released the outcome.  When I got to the post office, sure enough, there wasnt’ a single person in line.  I walked straight up and mailed my packages.  In and out in less than 3 minutes!  The funny thing is that when I was walking out, there were over 10 people standing in line.  Interesting, huh?

Fast forward to the next day.  I was again on my way to the post office and my thought was, “Man, it is going to be crowded.”  Due to my state at the time, I just couldn’t change it.  Sure enough, I got to the post office to find at least 10 people in front of me.  Some of them with 10-15 packages to mail AND they were short a window person.  It took me a good 30 minutes to mail my packages.

Fast forward to earlier today.  It was the busiest part of the day (so I have “learned”) for the post office and I was on my way to ship some more packages.  My instant thought was, “It is going to be so packed!”  I quickly caught myself and changed that thought.  I visualized an empty line and getting in and out within 5 minutes.  As I walked in, there was only one person working but there was only one person checking out.  By the time I walked up to get in line, that person left and I walked straight up to mail my packages.  As I was leaving 3-4 minutes later, there was a line of at least 10 people.  Very interesting.

I tell this story because prior to this past week, I NEVER got in and out in less than 20 minutes.  However, the two times I practiced visualization and changed my negative thoughts this week, I got exactly what I intended the outcome to be.  Some may say it was a “coincidence” but I say it is focused intention.  I challenge you to practice changing your negative thoughts and using visualization.  What do you have to lose?

Peace and gratitude,

T + V + A = R

Thoughts + Visualization + Action = Results – This is what I was thinking about last night when my wife and I went for a walk.  It started out pretty hot (in the 90’s at 9PM here in Dallas) but quickly got cooler as a storm started rolling in.  As the lightning was lighting up the sky in the distance, I started thinking about T+V+A=R.  I thought back to a lot of stress I chose to experience when dealing with getting my son’s car fixed.  I spent weeks letting it bother me because it just wasn’t right the way they were treating me by not covering the A/C under warranty.  Once I realized that I was giving so much negative energy to the situation, I decided to change my mind and try T+V+A=R.

I decided to think only positive thoughts about the car situation (the R).  Before doing it, I was only fixated on the fact that it would be about an $1100 repair.  I then decided to visualize the car being picked up with a fixed A/C AND not having to pay (the V).  The action step for me was two fold.  The first was to actively change my thoughts through meditation.  The second step was to call the dealer and “kill ’em with kindness” even more than I had done before.  Well, what do you know?  After well over 4 weeks of stress, the very day I practiced this I got a call from the dealer.  Within two hours they told me, “We have good news for you.  The A/C is working perfectly AND there is no charge…”  2 hours!  Hmmm.  2 Hours!  Incredible!

So, the next time you are dealt with something that is bugging you, try T+V+A to get the results you want.

Peace and gratitude,
