What Do You REALLY Want?
I know I write quite a bit here about things like focusing on what you want, personal development, proper nutrition, among other things. I do truly believe that we are capable of bringing into our lives whatever it is that is truly in line with our passions, our strengths, our desires.
But, here is the thing. What is it that we REALLY want? And I don’t mean something like a new TV, as nice as all of these amazing looking flat panels are these days! What I mean is, how do you want to FEEL? Or course, all of us want to be happy, healthy, fulfilled, right? And what is at the center of all of that? What, at the end of the day, will keep us happy, healthy, fulfilled? It is inner peace. Think about that for a second. What if, you actually had complete, inner peace in your life right now. An inner peace so strong that there wasn’t anything that could upset you. There wasn’t any circumstance to break that perfect sense of bliss within. Nice.
Is it a pipe dream? Maybe, maybe not. But one thing I do know is this. If we have inner peace, then that means that nothing “out there” is going to be a problem for us. There is nothing “outside” of ourselves to disrupt the inner balance and calm state of being. Hmmm….so maybe if we focus on creating inner peace, then the outer world will take care of itself. The world “out there” has a tendency to “fold in” around what we think, feel, and focus on. So if what we think, feel and focus on is inner peace, then the outer has no choice but to conform to that.
So don’t give it a choice. Focus on the inner, focus on inner peace, and see what happens. Hey, maybe someone will bring you a new TV! (just watch a peaceful station 
)
To your inner peace,

Do We Have To Choose Peace OR Prosperity?
I have a great saying in my home office that reads: “Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart”
I love this saying, but the big question is how do we get to that place where we are still in our hearts? I mean, most of us are running around like crazy, trying to do this and that, pay the bills, feed the dogs, work out, make dinner, get to work on time, maybe even just hold down a job. Does that sound familiar? Where does the peace come into play?
In all of this striving to do more, get more, and be more, is there something that we forgot to do? Did we forget to focus on US? And by US, I don’t mean the money, the car, the house, the job, the goals. Nothing wrong with any of that, but we are so easily distracted these days from what we really want and need. And what do we really want? We want peace. We want a sense of tranquility with ourselves and our surroundings. ….I sense you may be saying “well, duh, of course that’s what I want”… but hear me out.
While it may seem like a no-brainer to want these things, how many of us actually focus on creating that in our lives. We may think we are, we may think that by continually striving for more things, for a bigger promotion, for more money, etc. that this will somehow create peace in our lives. But somehow this doesn’t happen. You see, peace can only come from within. Everything else that is external can be taken away from us at any time. Peace is lasting, In fact, peace is EVER-lasting. And it’s a funny thing about inner peace; when you feel it, things just sort of seem to happen. You may actually GET that promotion, or you may get a raise, you may find yourself in nicer surroundings. The trick is not to get caught up in these things, not to get too attached to them. Be attached to your sense of peace.
The world has a way of folding in around a peaceful purpose. And you will find that prosperity loves to find and latch onto someone who has found a lasting sense of peace. So all these things we talk about today, like abundance and prosperity, it all can be yours, but first and foremost let’s focus on the inner, let’s create inner peace for ourselves. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors anyways.
To your own inner peace,
Jamie
Are we "Law of Attraction"-ed out??
My goodness, it seems that everywhere we turn these days, somebody else is teaching the Law of Attraction. (If you are one of the few that doesn’t know what I am talking about, I urge you to watch the movie “The Secret”, or go to the Hicks’ website http://www.abraham-hicks.com/lawofattractionsource/index.php for more info on what it is-then come back and read the rest of this post.)
Now, I suppose it does make perfect sense that the more we look into the Law, the more it is going to manifest itself to us. Kind of like when you are shopping around for a car, all of the sudden it seems that those couple of cars you have been checking out are everywhere, a million of them on the road, you can’t get away from them! Same thing here.
And I will say for the record that I do 100% believe in the Law of Attraction, as I have seen it work for myself. But, I am wondering this: how many of us are using the Law of Attraction in the first place? Do most of us follow through with the procedures, or do we give up after 2 days of visualizing? “This crap doesn’t work….,I don’t see anything happening,,,” .
Or, if people are using the tools to manifest, what are they manifesting? This question, in my opinion, is the most important one. Why? Because I believe that for most of us, the hardest thing to figure out in our lives is what we really want. I mean, it is easy to say, ” I want a new car”, “I want a bigger house”, or in today’s economy, “I want a job”! But let’s take this a little deeper.
We usually think of the law of attraction as something we are “getting”. But if we really look at how this technique works, it really works by “giving”. In fact, if we are completely in a “what’s in it for me” state of mind, the Law of Attraction will NOT work. With that frame of mind there is a key missing ingredient. It is this: You get what you give. If you want more love, give more love: if you want more money, give more money. Help someone out, you will be helped.
So while we are in the midst of our manifesting, our visualizing, our affirming, if we are not giving, helping, then we are biting the hand that feeds us. It could be said that the law of giving is as important as the law of attraction.
Having said all of that, with all of the LOA information out there, how many of us are following it? I mean, it seems pretty easy right? How many of you right now are using this technique to make your life more fulfilling? How many of you have given up after one attempt? Maybe it’s NOT so easy…. Maybe it takes patience and determination, just like anything else worthwhile in this life? Of course it does. Which brings me to this:
Let’s make sure that what you are focusing on is what you REALLY WANT. If you are going to put the time in, if you are going to make the commitment, make sure you know what you want, and that it falls in line with what you are passionate about. Make sure that you are truly doing what you were meant to be doing. Because the law is working whether you are conscious of it or not. So follow your dreams, and put the law to work with you, instead of fighting against it.
Put the law to work for the highest good, by focusing on what you love way down deep in your soul. See, that is why you have those desires-because that is what God put it there for you. It is your calling. So don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do anything, and don’t let anyone steal a dream away from you. Are you going to tell God that he is wrong? I mean, you can tell Him if you want, He won mind at all; but it’s not going to get you anywhere.
Remember when you were a kid, and you maybe had all of these dreams of what you would be someday, where you would live, etc. Somehow these dreams seem to fade away with time, and then one day they are just a distant memory. Maybe somehow we convince ourselves that these dreams were unrealistic, so we stop believing in them. We settle for what we think we can have. But remember, the law is in effect whether we are conscious of it or not, so if in our mind we are thinking that we are not worthy of a better life, or we don’t really belong over there with the “successful” people(whatever that means), then that is exactly what we end up with.
Ask yourself this question: Are you happy with your life? If so, then I say congratulations! If not, then, if you could snap your fingers and change something, what would you change? Only you can answer that truthfully.
And then remember that with every thought, every action, every word, we are sending a message to ourselves, our surroundings, our universe about who we are. We are sending a message of “I am happy” or “I am sick” or “I am miserable” or “I am wealthy” or “I have peace” or “I love myself” or “I hate myself”.
This is really what the Law of Attraction is all about. What you send out, you get back. Some of this is unconscious, so some of the time, we don’t really know why we end up with certain things. But that is why it is so important to give. We need to consciously be doing the things, taking the action, thinking the thoughts that are going to help the most people, which will in turn bring good things to us.
Anyone who has a great Law of Attraction story, please feel free to comment here and add it. I would love to hear from you.
To your best life,
