We’ve all done it.<\/em> Gotten angry in the moment over some perceived wrong and then created an entire scenario about it in our head, blaming someone else.\u00a0 But when we’re conscious, when we’re on the Path, we take the time to contemplate what is going on in our life.\u00a0 We take responsibility for what we’ve put in motion.\u00a0 We know that whoever we think is to blame is just someone we are allowing to have some power over us.\u00a0 Power over our thoughts and emotions. Allowing your thoughts and emotions to go there<\/em> is a choice.<\/p>\n

Let me re-phrase that.\u00a0 Your thoughts may appear out of nowhere.\u00a0 You can’t stop that from happening.\u00a0 What you can decide<\/em> is how long you will continue to dwell on that thought.\u00a0 You have the choice<\/em> of staying on that thought long enough to get pissed off about it.\u00a0 You have the choice of moving to a better feeling thought, before you attract something you don’t want.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> website.\u00a0 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jealousy and competition runs rampant in the personal growth\/self help genre no less than it does in all other genres.\u00a0 There is no competition and that we each attract what is ours by right of consciousness.\u00a0 No one steals business from anyone else.\u00a0 If a client leaves you and goes somewhere else, that’s fine; they are not your target market anyway.<\/p>\n

You want the people who are attracted to what you have to offer, plain and simple.\u00a0 You don’t have to go all car salesman on someone <\/em>to talk them into buying what you’ve got.\u00a0 You don’t want 200 people to attend an event if only 11 are going to buy.\u00a0 Your market is the 11 who really want it.\u00a0 Remember that the next time you look out into your audience of 12.\u00a0 And if you don’t think you can make an honest and lucrative living with just 12 clients, then you just have short vision.\u00a0 It’s not a numbers game; it’s a consciousness game.<\/p>\n

And that’s one thing I have that sets me apart from some others: I know that. <\/em> 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.\u00a0 No matter what someone is saying or not saying, whether it’s true or not true.<\/p>\n

Since I know who I am<\/em> and I know what my thoughts are capable of attracting<\/em>, I don’t feel the need to blame anyone else for anything I experience.\u00a0 I know it’s unproductive to be emotionally attached to what anyone says about me.\u00a0 I’ve never been so free as when I gave that up.\u00a0 Now it’s easy for me to just let that stuff go.\u00a0 It’s my favorite new habit.<\/p>\n
