In the Zone

Prosperity in Latin means "to be in the flow."  So what does it mean to be in the flow?  This is when we are "in the zone" and everything is working out for us.  This is when we are thinking right, talking right and living right.  When we are in the flow things right things happen to us right now!  

On the flip side, when we are negatively thinking we can not be in the flow at all, rather we are stuck.  Stuck in the past, stuck in hate, stuck in whatever it is that takes you out of the flow and out of prosperity.

So remember you have the choice to be stuck or be prosperous.

Love,

Idiom Illumination

You may already know that the words you attach to your everyday experiences have a direct and profound effect on how your body reacts to it and how it is perceived overall.  "I hate this!!" versus "maybe I can learn something out of this" and "they are sons of bitches" versus "I know they will get it sooner than later" and "I can do this" versus "there is no freakin' way", all can very much attribute to the outcome of each situation.  The kicker is the fact that you may not even really believe it.  Obviously the more you do believe the better the result but the simple task of making the choice to choose your words wisely can choose a better experience.

Filtering the words that come out of your mouth can help turn what seems to be a horrible or hopeless situation into a bearable or great one.  Now instead of saying "that's easier said then done", try saying, "yeah, I can do that and it will get easier as I go along."  Then watch more faith, love and happiness come into your life.  Let your words illuminate your experiences today.

Defending Our Unhappiness

Have you ever run into someone whom you've shared the thought "don't worry", or "have faith", or "it'll be alright"?  And in return you receive a blistering look of anger for your inconceivable idea that the world is not crumbling.  How dare you think that everything will work out or that being happy is a possibility in the perception of their discontent.  My question to you now is why do you think this is so?  Why do we defend our unhappiness so vigorously?  Why do we sometimes choose, with all of our heart, to cling so dearly to what is making us so unhappy? Why do we identify with it and how do we seem to find some sort of comfort from it?

If all of us that say we believe in God but then cling so dearly to the opposite of faith and joy, and love, is it obvious then that something very opposite is drawing our attention and inspiration?  I choose Love, Joy and Faith in my life instead of the opposite every chance I get.  Can it really be that simple? Yep.

I Did Whaaaat??

For some time now I've been keeping my thoughts to myself when it comes to God and life and the meaning of it all.  Its been quite fun as a matter of fact and I feel I've been awakened.  Now let me say here that I've never been and never thought I would say that about myself.  I was very "asleep"; I was a guy that was out every single night and let's just say I was the kinda guy a girl would not want to bring home to their mother.  "Those people" that talked about God all the time were weirdos to me and I felt they just gave up power in themselves to be lazy and dumb.  My views have changed a bit even though there are still lazy and dumb people out there lol-  but I still love them =].  Everyone is on their own path and that just happens to be there's at this time.

This new thinking really started when I was fed up with creating heartache in my life.  I'll divulge more later but fast forward 3 years or so and I changed myself and then met my wife.  She is not the type of woman that would have accepted me then but readily accepted me now.  I noticed what good came into my life by changing myself, and that the vision of being happily married came true for me even though it was so far removed from the actual situation that was unfolding in front of my eyes, what with boos and parties flowing readily.  I remember I asked for help (part of me really didn't want me to ask for help)  but I was tired of being heartbroken and down.  My prayers were answered!

Now that I was married I needed I started in on family-mode and the house was first on our minds.  I was kind of a surprise to me because it was she that brought it up and I hadn't really thought about it until that point.  I had always been carefree and didn't really care much about money.  I felt that when I needed it, it would be there.  The fact is that I was right- the only problem was that I never needed very much so there was an impossibility once again in front of me.  I asked for help again from God and 9 months later my wife and I owned a beautiful two-story house with a view of the mountains that is really something.  I was given a raise at just the right time that allowed this to happen and everything really just fell into place.  We couldn't be more happy.

I'll say now that being a home owner with previous negative credit marks and everything else that said it wasn't possible, is pretty amazing again.  I started to really bring forward the power of God, visualization and right thinking to examine how these things were possible.  I had this thought every morning that said "I did whaaaat???"  After realizing the amazing changes that occurred I had this insatiable urge to study books like "Think and grow rich" and the "Tao Te Ching" and "The Master Key."  I feel I have made large strides towards further growth and I want to share it with others to get there opinions and guidance from those that have experienced more.

For my first blogs, I believe I'll start where I am at this moment- starting the book "The Course of Miracles."  It's a book that was said to be channeled by a women who said the author was Jesus of Nazareth.  At this point I've dropped all per-conceived notions and realized no matter what it is there would be something to learn from it.  I have to say that so far I'm pleasantly surprised and I look forward to hashing out my thoughts here on a daily basis.  Please feel free to jump and and comment on anything.  dac
