| A saleswoman told me that people were irritating her – a lot. She was both “losing her cool” and her patience with small thinking, ridiculous behavior and demonstrations of a lack of kindness, consideration and common sense.
To make things worse, she was baffled by her client’s petty issues that almost blew a $1.5 million deal.
It reminds me of the country western lyrics by Billy Currington: “God is great. Beer is good. And people are crazy.”
Recognizing that she’s attracting whatever is going on in her life, she wondered how she created this.
She pieced together cause and effect and saw that her frustration with annoying people was magnetizing others with disgruntled attitudes. Her energy was drawing negative people to her!
By the way, the saleswoman later discovered that the sale represented to her client family disappointments. She was like a volcano ready to explode at anything that could go wrong – or she’d make something wrong to blow off steam.
According to Abraham-Hicks, it only takes 17 seconds to create a thought that attracts more of what you’re thinking and feeling.
Yikes. That’s about a quarter of a minute to design your world – consciously or not.
This is a universal principle. Positive attracts positive; negative attracts negative.
Thoughts build upon each other by attracting other thoughts of a like nature creating thought forms. 17 seconds + 17 seconds + 17 seconds…
Complaining, being hard on yourself, sharing your sad story with others, which invites them to feel as sorry for you as you feel sorry for yourself, attract more circumstances to make you want to pull your hair out.
“When you give your attention to it, if you maintain your focus for as little as 17 seconds, you begin to include its vibration, whatever it is, in your vibration. When you see something you want, and you give it your attention, and you say yes to it, you are including whatever its vibration is in your vibration. When you see something you do not want, and you shout no at it, you are including whatever its vibration is in your vibration.”
“Most everybody is looking around and vibrating in response to what they are seeing. So, what is the solution? Look around less. Imagine more. Look around less. Imagine more. Until your imagery is the most familiar vibration that you have.”
Abraham-Hicks
What’s your brain chewing on?
Feel bad because you don’t have more money? You slow down or stop money flowing to you.
Feel good about the idea of having more money? You speed up money coming to you.
Your choice.
The way out is to decide what would inspire you to feel happy. Then whenever your thoughts turn to the not-so-sunny side of the street, redirect your focus on what creates good feelings.
“I have to face reality” can be the very attitude that holds you back from your heart’s desires.
If your current conditions aren’t what you want, and you continue to focus on them and feel miserable, you’ll get more of the same.
Take care of business, but focus your energy on what you choose to create not on what you don’t like.
You control the way you feel. Don’t give your power away to others or to circumstances.
How would having more money feel? Next focus on other positive ideas about money. Let yourself go to another like-thought. And on and on.
With gratitude,
Virginia
