Insight about Abundance

During the morning session with Abraham’s “Financial Abundance” meditation, I received an amazing insight. As if it were a gimble, it flipped my understanding of money upside-down on its head.

What I understand now, that I didn’t understand for most of my life, is that I don’t have to wait around for “enough money” to complete my desire. (In this instance, the term “complete” equates to “manifest.)

I don’t have struggle to acquire enough money to purchase my desire: the money in and of itself is incidental. Don’t misunderstand me. Money is a  huge convenience; furthermore, it is a convenience that I certainly plan to use. However, it is not what I once thought it was.

It’s From Within

My mindset (vibrational set point) about money had the cart before the horse. I thought that I would have esteem and power and safety and security when I had money.

Instead I must know from withing my worth, my personal power, my safety and security before money shows up in my bank account. No wonder I’ve struggled money! I was carrying around a mindset (vibrational set point) that I didn’t have worth, or personal power, or safety and security within myself. I thought that my safety and security came from my parents, my job, and from making the “right decisions to do the right thing.”

It’s not about accumulating money, it’s about focusing without resistance. What it is about is pure and positive focus. It’s about feeling happy and fulfilled with a light and easy focus. It’s about having wonderful time with my desires filled with fun and goodwill.

Incremental Change

A Lesson about Incremental Changes

Between Monday morning and this morning, I created a learning experience for myself. It concerns the extraordinary value of repeatedly making tiny incremental changes as a method of shifting my vibrational set point. When I am working on a task, it is important to finish it while stopping critical thoughts and judgements. What happens next is my shift into a more receiving mode of mind. Suggestions for small improvements float to the surface, the creative project moves forward with greater ease and satisfaction.

Three days ago, I created an illustration of a rose as the graphic for the day’s post in my “Kicking the Tires.” Although it provided me with a nice practice piece to improve my skill with Illustrator, it was a boring graphic. Today, inspiration called, and I made a series of tiny tweaks to the original piece that resulted in a more interesting illustration.

Dumping Self-Criticism

It will very rewarding to use that same process for creating my desired life of accomplishment, creativity and satisfaction. I delayed so many life gratifications because I derailed myself with self-judgement and critical thinking. I was forever comparing myself to others, and my creative work to that of others-and coming up short. Many good ideas were dropped, and many projects abandoned because of the anger and depression generated by my self-criticism.

And the Good News Is. . .

The good news is I have found a more fun and a more effective way of proceeding on my creative journey; one that enhances my momentum.
