The Power of Creation


Same old, same old. How often have you heard that phrase? The reason it gets said so frequently is because that is how we often process the messages coming in. “Oh, yeah, I’ve heard that before…sounds like too much work, or, it won’t work for me…or, I don’t have the energy to think about that.” And so life goes on and we go on, missing the really powerful messages that could launch us into a new way of thinking and acting…getting us to the place we say we want to be.


This morning I sat down at my computer and read something that I’ve heard many times before, but for some reason today bells are ringing, angels singing and, this time, I am really taking in the message. (Kudos to my spiritual support system for the beautiful clues coming in and for helping me to recognize them.)


And here it is:


We manifest what we think about and since we are thinking all of the time, that means we are manifesting all of the time as well. According to the website Paradigm Shift, we have, on the average, 50,000 thoughts a day. How many of these thoughts are focused directly on the beautiful things we want to bring into our lives? And how many are expressions of concern, anxiety, regret, distress?


What holds your attention during the day? The dishwasher that needs to be repaired? The budget that has boomeranged off its course? The emails you haven’t had time to send? The book you really wanted but never bought? The call you haven’t made to address an unresolved issue with someone? The exercise regimen you never got to?


These worries and concerns have possibly become default paths to us. Perhaps we do spend some time dreaming about and wishing for the things we want to manifest but, most of the time, we may be concerning ourselves with the category of NOT FINISHED on our to-do lists. It takes focused intention and a very conscious effort to direct our attention to the positive things we want to bring into our lives 100% of the time.


And there’s more to consider.


To really manifest the abundance we want we need to use not only our brain but also our HEART and here’s the reason:


Your brain opens the doorway to infinite intelligence while your heart does the actual communicating…producing a field of electromagnetic energy that aligns with the energy of the universe.

Here’s why this formula works:


Emotions transform energy.

Energy creates movement.

Movement is change

and

Change is the essence of life.


LifeLine Law of Transformation



Who would be able to do something like this? Someone who stays centered by taking really good care of him or herself (gets enough rest, eats mindfully and wisely, communes with nature, LIVES IN THE MOMENT…you get the drift).


An ambitious undertaking, undoubtedly, but what an astounding payoff to be able to focus and concentrate 24-7 on our hopes and dreams with a beautiful clarity of vision and the emotions to support them!


We do create our lives and this reminder coming into my computer (and from me to you via your computer) is singing that amazing truth to all of us.


If we focus our thoughts every moment on the beautiful things we want to bring into our path and open our hearts to the emotions of our desires, we will align ourselves with the majestic power of the entire universe, claiming our true role as the inspiration for our own lives.




Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the Universe is endlessly bountiful. Just put forth a clear enough request, and everything your heart desires must come to you.

Changing the Default Button


Eckhart Tolle has become a well-known guru of Living in the Moment.

Tolle's book, The Power of Now, instructs us regarding the importance of releasing our fear and anxiety about the past and what the future may bring and concentrating solely on what is occurring in this moment. Quantum belief says that time is an invention of man and that, if you change the present, you've changed everything (what you have already done and what you might choose to do in the future). If quantum belief is correct (and I believe it is), we are not bound to our past choices, decisions and actions. What those past choices, decisions and actions represent is the opportunity to learn from experience. (Of course, if we don't get the lesson, then we get another opportunity to "seize the day".)


The mindset we bring to the present moment is critical to what it brings to us. Somehow we always find what we are looking for. If we are looking for the difficulties we anticipate to be inherent in a situation, we will be able to find them like flashing neon lights. If we are open to learning new truths or experiencing new insights, they will be there. Our choice of focus will be borne from our most basic view of whether the universe is a friendly place to be. Let's say we recognize that the concept of a friendly universe is not and has not been our default button. Rather, we have been disappointed and hurt and have come to expect disappointment and hurt in order to protect ourselves. Now, let us imagine, we wish to change what we have realized about the way we view the world.


Enter Abraham Hicks and some very simple, very practical advice.

"If all you did was just look for things to appreciate you would live a joyous, spectacular life."


The more we practice finding the beauty and love in everything around us, the easier it is to do so. It may not come naturally at first, but what a great way to begin to see the world's color and passion and light. If we notice the delicate flight of the hummingbird, the roses scenting the air and the insect colonies building their fortresses, we can be delighted in the gorgeous setting of the Play of Our Lives. If we can find love in someone's action (even if it is in the intention and not the behavior), our life view starts to change. We begin to expect positive things to happen. We expect beauty and goodness. We expect love and, in expecting love, we begin to radiate it. The giving of love lifts our hearts. Then, experiencing our Present Moment feels like a gift...waiting to be opened and reopened whenever we desire.

Live in the moment and let that moment bring you an appreciation of all that surrounds you...the beautiful, miraculous, intelligent world we take for granted. Revel in its beauty. Savor its sweetness. Honor your LIFE and the joys awaiting you!
