One of its definitions, from dictionary.com is to be without, or deficient in. Want comes from a place of lack and scarcity. It is a statement that implies that there is not enough, that you have gone without because that which you want there is not enough of. Further, that implies that
There is more than enough for everyone. We live in an abundant universe. There are more than enough resources, opportunities, companions, friends and lovers for everyone. Material or immaterial, there is more than enough. Money, cars, homes, food, clothing, joy, love, essentials and non-essentials, there is more than enough. The biggest lie we are fed by those enjoying the illusion of being in power is that we do not have enough. They use fear of a lack, scarcity, and an
Joy empowers us. When we do things that bring joy into our lives, we make ourselves better, stronger, and happier. Joy raises our frequency, and lets us attract more of the things we truly want for ourselves. Yet we frequently will deny ourselves joy. Why? A number of different reasons, of course. First is the external. In a society so focused on lack and scarcity, we wind up made to feel guilty if something makes us feel joyful. We begin
I deserve all the good things I desire. Over the last several months I have had a mantra I have recited with much frequency. I am abundant and prosperous. I am a good person, worthy and deserving of abundance, prosperity, success, wealth and joy. Succeed or fail, I am supported and I am loved. Taking an online course offered by Jen Sincero, author if my favorite self-help book, You Are A Badass, she calls this creation a Mantra of Mightiness.
You are capable of anything you put your thought and feeling into. Has anyone told you that of late? Well it’s true. You are more capable of more things than you probably realize, and I want to tell you this. Why am I telling you this? How do I know? Because I know that I am capable of consciously creating a reality of my own choosing, and if I am able to that, then so are you. You and I
Love is far simpler than we tend to make it. Storytellers across the ages have been informing us that love is this grand, complex, amazing thing. And while it certainly can be, in truth it is much less grandiose. I have frequently written here about the ability we all possess to manifest the things we want in life. We are, at our ultimate core, energy. Energy vibrates at various frequencies. Low frequency vibration draws low, negative things to us. High
I am worthy and deserving of awesomeness in my life. It’s interesting how often I need to remind myself of this. There have been many instances where I do not feel as though I deserve to have the things I desire in my life. Crossing the Bridges is the most personal of my weekly posts. I am exploring not only my philosophies and approaches to life, but my actual, factual life. In Positivity I pointed out that YOU are amazing!
Our souls are forever, but our bodies are finite. We only get one shot at life. I read and listen to a lot of self-help books. I have read and/or listened to works by Tony Robbins, Jen Sincero, Rhonda Byrne, Stephen Covey, Wallace Wattles, Napoleon Hill, Boni Lonnsburry and more. The topics range from ideas for how to live life to the fullest, manifestation, controlling our emotions, choosing our own destinies, making money through ways we love, and so on.
Recently I read The Fifth Agreement by Don Miguel Ruiz and his son Don Jose Ruiz. This is the follow up to the wildly popular book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. These two books present the idea that we come into this life open, but along the way we make “agreements” with how to live. We relinquish control to outside influences, and we allow our belief system to be massively complicated and colored by the world we live
Nobody wants to disappoint anyone else. Just like all the other feelings, you cannot control whether someone is disappointed or not. Yet we all work incredibly hard to make certain we don’t upset and disappoint the people in our lives. Whether friends, family, coworkers or even the Powers-that-be, we are all constantly striving not to disappoint. We change the way we approach things, we change our intentions, we shift our schedules and we sacrifice to avoid disappointment. Not surprisingly, the
