Surrender to Know Deep Fulfillment

Several decades ago, I began studying goal setting as if my life depended on it. I was committed to learning anything and everything I could about how to set goals and "have it all”. I was certain that having it all would bring me a very deep level of happiness.

 

My motivation was the fact that in my twenties I had reached a point where my greatest goal was to merely get through another day. With many of my childhood dreams shattered, my life consisted of going to a job I despised, being newly divorced left with no apparent way to support myself, and living from day to day wondering if this was it.

 

More than three decades ago, all I wanted to do was survive the harsh realities life had put in front of me. And survive I did. I barely got by each day, feeling like the world was against me and wondering why all the lucky breaks happened to others but not to me. I nurtured the belief about how tough life was and as a result never got any breaks. So much in fact that I lost my assembly-line job with the inability to get another. I became more disillusioned with each passing day and felt stuck with no way out.

 

That is until a small miracle happened. (Reflecting on  that day 30 years ago, I would say it was more of a big miracle disguised as something small).

Your Law of Attraction Movie Script

Many people believe Law of Attraction (LOA) information is a recent discovery. When one first happens upon LOA this IS true; they've had a breakthrough that allows for a different view of life.

Perhaps they discovered LOA by way of a conversation, movie, book, seminar or article. Those who are open to the information find their life takes on a new dimension; one they had no idea existed.

Yet, there are plenty of people who have known about LOA for years. Men and women who have studied the principles for decades.

The fact is, the information has been around for centuries. One need only do a quick Google search on the topic to find multiple resources on how powerful our thoughts and beliefs are in manifesting our experience; good or bad. 

According to a posting on The Quality of Life blog, in 1879 the New York Times was the first major newspaper to use the phrase, describing the wagon trains of the Colorado gold rush as 'moving in obedience to some occult law that overcomes all obstacles in their progress to their destination'.

Awakening is more profound second time around

It’s likely you’ve had the experience of watching a movie, enjoying it, seeing it months later only to enjoy it more.  You see and hear things you never didn’t get the first time around.

Chances are you’ve had the same experience with a good book. The first time the book was really good, the second time around you enjoyed it even more.

The fact is, we see things differently each time around because our awareness is different from one day to the next, one month to the next and one year to the next. Hopefully, it’s such that we become more enlightened with each passing day.

Such was my experience when I first read, Awakening: Fulfilling your soul's purpose on earth by Ping Li. The timing for the first reading was perfect in that I was going through one of the most profound experiences with the transition of a loved one.

I found recognition of my own truth and deep comfort with Ping’s words.  Recently, I have been having another very deep experience. One that has allowed me to look at what I value most in all areas of my life.

What holds many people back from success... resentment!

It's likely most of us know (or have known) someone who is resentful of what another possesses. It could be a friend, family member, coworker or even closer than that...you. Maybe you've had times where you wondered why everyone but you got all the lucky breaks.


Maybe resentment was at the forefront of your thought process.  Often resentment is more about wanting (coveting) what another has and not knowing why you are not attracting or manifesting it. 

Consider this: with each negative thought we have we actually deflect a level of good reaching us.

How do I know? From personal experience.

Years ago I lived in the space of begrudging others for virtually anything and everything. Often there was no justification for these feelings other than a sense of entitlement.

I wondered why success, happiness, joy and great relationships eluded me. The more I resented others, the more the very things I wanted were outside of my reach. It took what seemed an eternity for my thinking, beliefs and language patterns to change.
