How To Get What We Want!

What’s The Real Secret?

Happiness is a state of being, and comes from the inside of you. By the law of attraction you must become on the inside what you want on the outside.  – Rhonda Byrne

an inside job

The thought creation must come first! The feeling that would normally accompany the manifestation of that thought must appear alongside the thought. When we do that as fellow creators with Divinity the Universe is compelled to respond…

the real secret

The real secret isn’t about manifesting what we desire into our lives; even though the Law of Attraction does deliver, it’s about experiencing happiness. So the trick is to imagine the highest, which at one level is happiness. So imagine and feel the happiness and the rest shall follow.

Better still imagine happiness for the whole world! Imagine being an instrument of God that does her will on this planet. When we desire everyone’s happiness we seek the highest for everyone collectively. That then is the highest secret. Seeking God’s will for us as we become instrumental in serving others!

It lives completely in the present, and perceives nothing more than what is at this moment.Alan W. Watts

consciousness!

Our ‘primary consciousness’ only knows the present. Our mind generates thoughts about everything. That generation of thoughts takes us away from the primary moment which is now.

thoughts!

Our thoughts try to continually process what has already happened or try to predict what might happen. When we drop into fully experiencing what’s going on especially with our full mind, body and soul, thoughts disappear. The essential trick to being fully present is to be able to control the generation of thoughts…

Why Can’t We Be Happy Now?

If to enjoy even an enjoyable present we must have the assurance of a happy future, we are “crying for the moon.”  – Alan W. Watts

future now

We can’t be happy now because we want our future to be happy. We dwell in that future. We lose now. We can’t truly be happy now because we’re ever anxious about our future.

no guarantees

We live in a world of constant change. Nothing about the future can be guaranteed. We’re incapable of knowing much about the future. Our only choice then, is to embrace now, be happy now, right now…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM happy, now…
