You have never, not for one moment, been off your path. And you have no reason whatsoever to feel any embarrassment or discomfort about where you are at this stage in your life. You are powerfully on your path. And you are just beginning the best part of your life. ~ Abraham-Hicks

Sometimes I have a hard time realizing when I’m the funnel and when I’m the cup. I used to be concerned my cup was always leaking, then I realized I was a funnel. And a pretty good one. Everything comes, everything goes, and everything comes again 🙂 When I see it that way, I can experience it as a never ending flow of goodness, that I can enjoy as it passes through.

The formula for how you got where you are right now: Your intention + your allowance minus your resistance = the circumstances you find yourself in right now, today. All of us. Always, no exceptions.

A friend writes: “What about the issue of karma/karmic debts that we have to repay in our lifetime? Sometimes I honestly feel that “bad” or seemingly unjust things occur regardless of all the positive vibrational energy we send out into the universe.” Good question. When you’re in a good place and doing all the “right” things and still get hit by a karmic backlash, that’s simply past momentum coming back around.

It’s all about perception.  An elderly neighbor called me this morning: “A big, black man just went into your garage. He knocked on my door and I didn’t open it.”

Some folks see dastardly doings in the making no matter what they look at.

Accept what is as if you had chosen it, and avoid creating stories and hypothetical outcomes that don’t exist. You will avoid a lot of anxiety and stress if you simply accept what is happening and concentrate the mind in the present moment, without thinking about what could potentially happen as a result of this problem. The future doesn’t exist. Only now exists. The problem isn’t the problem. Your thoughts, attitudes, and emotions towards the problem is where the self-induced suffering will occur.

Wherever I am is wherever I am meant to be, whatever I am doing is whatever I am meant to be doing and whatever everyone else is doing is exactly what they are meant to be doing – this is contentment. If you do want to change where you are, or what you are doing, the first thing is to be content with wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now! Paradoxically that’s what attracts opportunities and invitations to be somewhere else! Why? Because you are a living magnet, and contentment is one of your most attract-ive qualities. And the law of attraction says that according to your dominant thoughts so you will attract the people and circumstances into your life. Being content right now attracts the best possible future. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

“Everything in your life is there as a vehicle for your transformation. Use it.” Ram Dass –> So this means everyone who rubs you the wrong way. This means the bad news you continue to watch on tv. Everything. It’s ALL grist for the mill. Let it grind away your judgments, your angers, your fears about the future. Let it transform your life into one of golden appreciation every moment forever, no matter the circumstances.
