Thoughts on Finding The Positive
~ By Shirl

A Letter to a friend wanting to change her negative thought process.

Hi,

I am more fabulous everyday. Still the most blessed being in the Universe.

And there is a reason for that. . .this happens to be my favorite topic, so forgive me if I ramble on a bit here.

I am not specifically aiming these remarks at you, but your emotions and concerns strike a chord with things I have learned over the years of my life.

My "evolution" began with the knowledge, maybe even the absolute stubborn determination that no one anywhere ever was going to see me as a "Victim." It was not a role I was willing to play.

There comes a time in each of our lives when we have to choose who is in charge. Am I going to be in charge of my life and times or am I going to hand that over to others? Am I going to define who it is that I am or am I going to allow others to tell me who I am? Who is responsible for me and who I am becoming?

Even as a child I didn't like anyone telling me who I was or what I should be doing, so that one was definitely out of the question. That doesn't mean that I didn't try to measure up to others expectations of me, or often think I "should" be this or that or I should be doing this or that. I went through it too, just as most all of us do. I cared what others thought or said about me.

Here's the truth: Each of us is responsible for our own lives and our version of reality. The first time I ever considered that concept I will have to admit that it totally pissed me off. I was sure that I would never have created the mess, pain and difficulties in my life that I had experienced. That's just plain stupid, I thought. I thought of every "yeah but. . ." that I could possibly come up with. The stunning truth of it was that there are no yeah but's anywhere that can hold water. It was (and is) a process, but bit by bit I began to move away from blaming anyone, especially myself for circumstances that I felt made my life unbearable at times. (and this came to my knowing when I was quite a few years older than you dear heart)

The simplest explanation of the Law of Attraction is that we get what we focus on. WE GET WHAT WE FOCUS ON! He has, she has, they have so much and I am struggling for so little. What the Universe hears and sees is the I have so little. Oh. . .she is focusing on having so little, lets keep that going for her.

The first step in focus correction and the foundation of Law of Attraction for bringing forth the things we do want is GRATITUDE. GRATITUDE for what we have. Make the list. Write it out (preferably), speak it out loud, run it through your thoughts like an unending tape. Pick different things at different times or review them all every day, but be grateful for the amazing abundance that you have in your life. Stop now and forever more comparing yourself and your life to any others. There is no comparison that matters, ever.

This is a partial list of what comes to mind when I say I am the most blessed being in the universe:

I have so much in abundance that I continually am looking for things to give away.

I have a warm, comfortable place to live.

I have so much food it sometimes goes to waste before I can use it.

I have adequate transportation (my car) that is reliable and serves me well.

I am surrounded by loving, caring and generous people who have my best interests at heart.

The universe supplies my every need.

I am filled with wellbeing, physical, mental, emotional and in every way exceptionally healthy.

I am in awe of the beauty that surrounds me. It is an extraordinary gift.

The green blade of grass is so amazingly beautiful I love the feel, the look, the smell of it.

The beauty of the flowers is so joyous I can gaze upon them endlessly and be filled with peace and serenity.

The trees are awesome in their stature, their strength, the beauty of their leaves, the texture of their bark, the over arching of their limbs that bring me shade from the heat.

The cats and the dog that share my home with me are a source of great pleasure and love for me.

All of the creatures that occupy this earth are beautiful and enchanting to behold. I so love the opportunity to have them in my life in any way that they come.

The universe loves me so much it continually supplies me with the beauty and joy of this life experience.

I am loved.

I am special (we all are, you know)

I have so much and I am so blessed.

I look forward every moment to the next wonderful opportunity the universe will bring me.

May my eyes and heart be open to those opportunities and the ways that I might best serve them.

I am Fabulous!

I feel Fabulous!

I am the most blessed being in the universe!

~

I start each day while I am drinking my coffee asking the universe to bring me the opportunities to best serve my highest and best purpose today. And saying "I am so grateful for the abundance of blessings I have." That's it. But throughout the day I notice things. I notice the birds singing and I stop for a second and listen, then smile and express my love for the part they play in my life. Every time I go outside, I notice the trees, the flowers, the grass, the bushes, the clouds, the sunshine, the rain, the snow, the breeze, the wind, the smells of sagebrush and fresh earth being turned by the nearby farmers. I notice. I speak my appreciation of it. My gratitude. I love it!

I bless and am blessed by the people and things I interact with everyday. Regardless of how that interaction may appear, I understand that there is something of value here for me. That is what I look for. Some of the most seemingly objectionable people or incidents in my life are actually blessings of bringing me to a new and expanded understanding of things. I don't take ANYTHING personally. I understand that everyone is just where they are along their path. It doesn't make me better, smarter, worse, or more or less caring, it is just what is. I love them for who I know they truly are that they have not yet realized. We are all, ALL of us a work in progress.

Fear, anger, resentment, struggle, regrets, negative, discouragement. . .and all the other things of that genre come from a place of feeling, "I am not worthy."

Most important thing to understand is EVERYONE is worthy. Without exception, everyone is worthy of love, acceptance, encouragement, praise, abundance and all of the blessings of the universe. Everyone. Even you. Even me.

When we struggle against anything, when we have resistance to anything, we are not a vibrational match for all of the wonderful things and attributes we want in our lives. When we begin to express our gratitude for the things we want by thanking the Universe for already bringing them forward into our lives we are in alignment to receive those things.

"Thank you for bringing me the new _______(house, car, job, lover, abundance. . .whatever it may be) I am so happy to see it manifest in my life."

Then let go of it! Stop thinking, but I don't have it yet, when is it coming, I still don't have it. . .every time you do happen to think of what you are wanting it cannot be from a place of not having it. It must be from an appreciation of the universe supplying it to you. Do not put restrictions on the universe. Don't tell it how and when to bring it to you. As soon as your energy lines up with it, it will appear. As soon as it energetically is a match with you and your purpose, it will come. As long as you notice you are lacking it, it just cannot show up in your life because you are focused on the lack.

Oh, it will be so wonderful when the universe brings me _____________ (whatever it is you are wanting). I am so grateful. I am so blessed!

Now here is one that will have amazing benefits.

I am so grateful that my ex seems so happy in his new situation. I am so grateful that he is experiencing abundance and well being.

I am so grateful that everything that I desire in my life is coming forward to bless me in this very moment. I am so grateful that I have a brand new experience of life and love and new people and places that will fulfill me in every way. I am so grateful that I am so blessed! I am so blessed! I am the most blessed. Thank you!

I am worthy of all the blessings and abundance in the universe! ( say this one statement I am worthy everyday at least 3 times a day. Start your day with it. If you were as weird as I am you might find yourself saying it over and over and over again under your breath all day long for a few days).

That's Shirl's short course. . .see how blessed we are I didn't go into the longer version of it! LOL!

I love you deeply and eternally. I see more of you than you see and you are most worthy of all blessings forever more. You are worthy. You are beautiful. You are gifted with some very special attributes. You are appreciated. You are loved. You are loved beyond anything you can comprehend.

I appreciate and love having you in my life,
Thank you for all that you bring to me,
Hugs, smiles and unending love,
Shirl

Masters in the Making
April 28. 2008
====================
Each day that dawns is surely a blessing in disguise and an ideal opportunity to readily acknowledge the well versed cliche -"Today is the beginning of the rest of my life!" It is with these simple words, perhaps, that one's life can be brought to an immediate aware-ness or recognition that it is really and truly lived in the now moment and that this now moment is all there is. We are over-busying ourselves, oft times, ‘worrying' what the future might or might not hold for us and the magical opportunity to be wholly present in these current now times can well be lost and not put to the best of use. Everything is, and will always be, in divine order and it is our responsibility to accept this simple fact as we take the helm of our ships and steer her on as straight a course as possible. To experience all or as much as possible upon the journey and not missing out on beneficial experiences that can easily be passed unwittingly by, or not attended to as fully as might be!

We are a multitude of light-beings that were selected and elected to be here, on planet, during these climes of ascending realities and subsequent opportunities that are afforded to each one of us. It needs not be taken too lightly that our roles and actions carry quite some responsibility and relevance to the forthcoming eventualities that are to unfold and ensue. Future fruitions are subjected to our present collective intents, efforts and ever-growing capabilities. The co-creating of the ‘future' is taking place at this very moment of linear time and is totally co-dependent with these days of preparation and paving of the way, so to speak. Adjusting to and aligning with the ever incoming energy flows and the resultant shifts is an ongoing opportunity that is indeed enough to keep us 'on our toes' and ever alert to the task that we have chosen to undertake and be very much a party to.

Our beloved friends and fellow travellers off planet are also, in their own light, in the very throes of continual busyness and as we, are well aware of the ongoing ebbing and flowing of the universal christed and crystal energies that are paramount in these days of infusion.The universe, as we on planet Earth, is a very busy place and each and every planet or star is in its relevant phase of adjustment and preparation. There is virtually not a sparrow that falls without the sure knowing of the Universal Mind in all It's multifaceted-ness of Being. Immense indeed is the interdependency of life-forms within this grand arena of expansion and there is much realignment and recalibration as the need for co-habitation of like minds and vibrations are being honed and honoured. All is in a state of movement, shifting and alignment as the imminent days of reckoning draw ever nearer to fruition. It will be a gradual procedure and will fall into a synchronicity of ever flowing events heralding the redefinement of parameters and vibrancies.

The alternative planets, three in total, have been selected and are in preparation for their prospective new inhabitants with a wish and desire to continue their third dimensional and relative vibratory experiences. Indeed, in God's house are there many mansions and all will migrate to their own choosing and most suitable domain to further their experiences in a manner in line with their imminent needs and choice. Mother Earth continues in her own magnificent quest to aspire and atone to her criteria of being as she moves in ever perfect momentum towards her, and our, approaching goal of appropriate fifth dimensional plus vibrancies, which will herald of course the ‘shift of the ages' and all it's relevant attributes.

Many of our beloved off planet friends are working ‘full speed ahead' and are virtually moving mountains as their perseverance and able capabilities are exercised to the full, and it is impossible to expound upon that further as third dimensionality words are not suffice.

The way ahead is being forged by the many divine architects within the heavens and is being so meticulously assisted by the resident and able light force on planet, whom on an inner level can clearly perceive and participate in the perfect picture in these changing times of note.

Many of the ascended and angelic beings too are moving on to incorporate other interests and avenues of expression as they, too, in their own right place another foot on the rungs of the ever eternal progressive ladder of enlightenment. They, like we, are moving on and it would be logical and apt to suggest that as they do, then will their recognised ‘places' of the now time be filled by others on the pathways of ascendancy. We are not being forgotten, very far from it, we are being assisted as ever by them, and others, as we too are being nurtured and are rising to states of ascendancy that will lead to the filling of those positions in days ahead. Evolutionary progress is the rule of thumb for one and all and it will always be so, a natural universal and omniversal law!

So, let us once more cast our attention upon these‘now' times, as ever always, continuing that diligent honing of our multifaceted beings, encouraging our greater selves, our higher of God selves, to be more actively evident in our every day lives. Let us determine that our journey here is to live in physicality to the full, expressing our selves ably through it, and not despite of it. It is a gift in itself, and is the mirror perfect for all that we might have need to look at and to work upon. Know thyself is the keyword as we embrace these final ‘years' of the old paradigm, polishing the multi facets of our beings as we ready for our much and well earned ‘shift of the ages' and all that it will afford. Be still and know that I Am God!
