NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS ARE FOR LOSERS

New Year’s resolutions are for losers! Why? Because if you make them, you will lose. Most resolutions die on the vine shortly after they are made. Even worse, most resolutions actually backfire and the opposite intent is manifested. Resolve to lose weight and watch the ponds go on. Resolve to be happier and you get depressed. Resolve to have better relations and you get into more fights. Resolve to get a better job and you get fired.

The reason this occurs is because when you resolve to do something, you are stating and emphasizing a current condition in your life. Form follows thought. When you say “I am going to lose weight;” you are actually affirming that you are obese. When you say “I am going to get a better job;” you are affirming that the job you have is terrible. When you say “I am going to get more money;” you are affirming you are poor. In effect, you are making affirmations about your current state of misery and those affirmations are the basis for your continued reality. Most resolutions are filled with emotion which drives the intensity of the manifestations in your life. By focusing upon food, money, a bad job, and a generally unhappy condition in your life, you are feeding those conditions with emotion and staying power.

Is there any proof of this? Well, look at your life and see how many things have changed as a result of making resolutions. How many of your last year New Year’s commitments have been fulfilled? The law of Attraction is always at work. The fundamental basis of that law is that like attracts like. So when you say you want more money, your emotional focus is really upon the money you do not have. Therefore, you attract more ‘do not have.’ When you want to lose weight your focus is really on how much excess weight you are carrying around. There, the law of attraction gives you more of what you are ‘carrying around.’ When you focus on really wanting a better job, your mind is locked onto how bad your current job is. So what you get is more of ‘of your bad job.’

All of these subtleties are keys in using the Law of Attraction. They are the “secret” within “The Secret.” The work at hand is not to resolve to do or be something, but rather to actually affirm that you are all those things you desire. Right now you are probably saying, “But I am overweight, need more money and have a lousy job.” If you did that you just affirmed this in your mind, so guess what will happen? You are a creature of habit and those habits have created your current condition. This is the mindset that would be appropriate for you to adopt. “I am healthy, abundant, prosperous and happy. I am grateful for my perfect physical, mental and emotional health and well-being. I am grateful for food, home, money job and loving relationships. My hopes, goals and dreams are fulfilled and now manifest in my life. It is my nature to be happy and blessed with all that I desire. What I have benefits all and harms none. I am grateful that I crate my own reality.”

What comes into play here is the Law of Gratitude, The Law of Attraction and the Law of Responsibility. Working in tandem, these laws bring about a new way of thinking and a new way of living. Remember, if you are reading this, you are alive and have some semblance of health. You have had enough money to buy a computer. You either are or have been employed. You have something to eat and some kind or roof over your head. As you become grateful for all of those things, the laws swing in your favor by providing you with more of what makes you happy. That sense of happiness is emotional fuel for your manifestation fire. The more fuel, the higher the flame and the better your life will become. It works! It is working now. Just see what you have a lot of, which could mean unhappiness, and that will show you what fires you have fueled. If you can’t stand the heat, time to go to a new kitchen.

THE INCREDIBLE POWER OF GRATITUDE!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
The following appears in POLARIZING YOUR LIFE TOWARD PERFECTION which is now on Amazon.com. While many are experiencing perceived lack and insufficiency, there is a power that can turn your thoughts and your reality 180 degrees. It is THE POWER OF GRATITUDE!

In a polite society we say "thank you" after we receive a gift. While that is nice, it not exactly the way the Universe works. Many falter in the manifestation process because they believe that they do not already have what they want. After all, if you cannot see it or touch it, it is not there-right? Wrong!!!!!!!!!!Everything and anything that you could possibly want or desire is all around you. It is in the form of energy-waiting to be shaped and brought into the physical world by the creative process of the mind.
Thoughts are things and all things are made of energy-physics 101. Nothing exists in the world that was not first thought about. A chair, a house, a plane, a computer, etc. are merely thoughts that have become manifest. I would go so far as to say that even you and all of the infinite manifestations of life exists because of the first thought-the prime mover-the creative consciousness behind all of existence.
When we say that we do not have something, we close the cosmic door. We are telling the Universe "I DO NOT HAVE" and the Universe grants your desire and "YOU DO NOT HAVE." It is said, "seek, and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened." Unfortunately most people think this merely means that if you seek spiritual salvation, you will find it. However, these words are a basic Law of the Universe. In essence the law says that if you seek something, you will find it. It also says that what you have found is what you have sought. If you knock, a door will be opened, or the doors that have opened are the ones upon which you have knocked.
This puts life squarely upon your shoulders. What you have gotten is what you have sought. "But," you say, "I did not seek disease, poverty, financial lack, poverty, loneliness or general misery." Sorry, on some level you either consciously did or you unconsciously accepted these conditions because someone convinced you that is all you will ever get out of life. Someone gives you a canvass and some paints and you say, "What good is this? There is no picture on the canvass. It is blank." You are told to draw a picture and you balk because you are convinced that you are not an artist. As a result, other people use the paints to draw what they want. Now you are stuck with a picture you do not like.
Your world is the canvass and the paints are your mind seeking to create a beautiful picture. Because you are told that you cannot draw, you let others do it-you let others paint your world-create your world.
Now you sit, displeased with the picture but unwilling to change it because you are convinced that only others can paint. What does this have to do with gratitude? Because you do not feel that you can paint, you do not feel any level of thankfulness for the pictures others have drawn for you. You really wanted a picture of a beautiful house in the country but someone draws a run down apartment. Why should you be thankful, the picture is not what you want? Well, you shouldn't be thankful for something you don't want.
Only you can draw what you really desire. But, thinking your desires out of reach you fail to pick up the brushes-even though you have an endless supply of blank canvasses. A blank canvass is all things-in potential. Literally, anything imagined can be placed upon it. The reason it is not a picture of a nice house, or a good job or a wonderful relationship is because you refuse to draw your own picture. We convince ourselves that if we do not have it, there is no use in drawing it.
The fact of the matter is that you do have whatever IT may be. The canvass is all things; merely waiting your brush stokes to make it real. When you say that you have nothing to be thankful for, you are saying that the canvass can never have the picture you desire. You close the door without even trying to open it. You see the canvass as blank, but it can be whatever you desire it to be.
Giving thanks means that you have already received something. When you give thanks to the Universe for all that you could possibly desire, you are saying that you have received all that you could possibly desire. You give form and then substance to the energy that exists everywhere and by law, these things must manifest. If you say that the picture on the canvass is a new house, it cannot be a run down apartment-the panting can only be what is put on it.
It is only hard to give thanks for what you think you do not have because that is your conditioning. You can't paint? Not true-the world you have, you have painted. When you begin to accept the fact that you are the artist of your own life, you will begin to realize that all of those blank canvasses await your secret desires to be drawn by your creative mind.
Give thanks for all that you desire. They already exist in potential-it is up to you to make them real. TELL the Universe what you want and tell the Universe you are thankful that it has given you an unlimited supply of paint. Do not close the door of life by saying no thank you. "The purpose of life is to enjoy every minute of it."
