Try to love one another right now

Do you notice how when you’re fully connected to your inner guidance, you see the world and everything in it just fine as it is?  You don’t worry about what the news says or what the complainers say, because you’re filled — maybe just for a few moments — with that feeling that it’s all under control and that everything happens for a Divine purpose?  That no matter what wacky whatever is going on around you, you know that it will all work out, that somehow you will be guided to it.   Then there are those times you’re reminded you’re a business person competing for dollars in a world of just so many customers.  That’s when you know you’ve gone off your guidance signal, since when you’re feeling competitive with anyone, if you think anything anyone does  against you can prevent you from attracting what you are meant to attract, you’re simply not connected to guidance.  If you think anything anyone says about you can prevent you from attracting the good that is meant for you, you are temporarily disconnected from guidance.

We’ve all done it. Gotten angry in the moment over some perceived wrong and maybe even created an entire scenario about it in our head, blaming someone else.  But when we’re conscious, when we’re on the Path, we take the time to contemplate what is going on in our life.  We take responsibility for what we’ve put in motion.  We know that whoever we think is to blame is just someone we are allowing to have some power over us.  Power over our thoughts and emotions. Allowing your thoughts and emotions to go there is a choice.

Let me re-phrase that.  Your thoughts may appear out of nowhere.  You can’t stop that from happening.  What you can decide is how long you will continue to dwell on that thought.  You have the choice of staying on that thought long enough to get pissed off about it.  You have the choice of moving to a better feeling thought, before you attract something you don’t want.

If you haven’t yet trained yourself to pivot your focus to a better feeling thought, you can learn how by reading at the free Abraham-Hicks website.  If you want to gain clearer understanding of why you do what you do in particular situations and how you can see the other perspective, ask yourself Byron Katie’s Four Questions.

Jealousy and competition runs rampant in the personal growth/self help genre no less than it does in all other genres.   I say there is no competition and that we each attract what is ours by right of consciousness.  No one steals business from anyone else.  No one taints anyone else’s reputation.  If a client leaves you and goes somewhere else, that’s fine; they are not your target market anyway.  Each will stay with you as long as they are meant for you.

You want the people who are attracted to what you have to offer, plain and simple.  You don’t have to go all car salesman on someone to talk them into buying what you’ve got.  You don’t want 200 people to attend an event if only 11 are going to buy.  Your market is the 11 who really want it.  Remember that the next time you look out into your audience of 12.  And if you don’t think you can make an honest and lucrative living with just 12 clients, then you just have short vision.  It’s not a numbers game; it’s a consciousness game.

And that’s one thing I have that sets me apart from some others: I know that. I know that I will be able to create a fine happy living for myself, no matter what anyone else is doing or not doing.  No matter what someone is saying or not saying, whether it’s true or not true.

Since I know who I am and I know what my thoughts are capable of attracting, I don’t feel the need to blame anyone else for anything I experience.  I know it’s unproductive to be emotionally attached to what anyone says about me.  I’ve never been so free as when I gave that up.  Now it’s easy for me to just let that stuff go.  It’s my favorite new habit.

Forgive them for they know not that they know not.  They’ll learn.  We all do.  I’m still learning.  Besides, you can’t be critical or hold grudges or be unforgiving or get aggravated by competition or the news without it impacting your income.  It’s all related.

So, why competition and jealousy when we’re on the Path?  Because that’s how we work this stuff out, with each other.  And we don’t get to work it out with only the ones it’s fun to work on issues with.  That comes later.  First we have to work on it with the people we really don’t care for, have no respect for and think are beneath us, who we think don’t walk their talk or possess the skills they profess.

The reason these people are in your experience and irritating you is because right now you are all vibrating in the same place — like it or not.  So the quicker you can get over it and get on with it, the quicker you move onto the ones it will be fun to work on issues with.  I promise.
