Whatever I Do, Happiness Must Be A Part Of It

There is nothing that you can do that is worse for yourself, than to do something that you believe is inappropriate. 

And so, get clear and happy about whichever choice you make.

---Abraham

Keeping My Eye On The Desire

It's not necessary for you to exacerbate your contrast with struggle in order to get it into a higher place. 

It is not necessary to suffer in order to give birth to desire. 

But when you have suffered and you have given birth to desire, so what? You've got a desire.

Turn your attention to the desire. 

Think about where you're going and never mind where you've been. 

Don't spend any more time justifying any of that stuff.

---Abraham

My Happiness Is Always Up To Me

Tell everyone you know: "My happiness depends on me, so you're off the hook." And then demonstrate it. 

Be happy, no matter what they're doing. 

Practice feeling good, no matter what. 

And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for the way you feel -- and then, you'll love them all. 

Because the only reason you don't love them, is because you're using them as your excuse to not feel good.

---Abraham

There's No Ending To That Which I Am

Because we know that life is eternal, and we know that there is no ending to that which you are about, if one of you is killed in an earthquake or crashes your plane, or any number of other very creative ways you have found to make your exit into the Non-Physical, because we know the whole picture, we grieve not a moment for any of you. 

But from your more shortsighted point of view in physical, a lot of you grieve tremendously.

---Abraham

Just Feel Good...Right Now

No matter what the issue is, don't try to justify why you don't feel good. 

And don't try to justify why you should feel differently. 

Don't try to blame whatever it is you think the reason is that's keeping you from feeling good. 

All of that is wasted effort. Just try to feel better right now.

---Abraham

Inspiration...

Inspiration comes forth from within. 

It's what the light burning within you is about, as opposed to motivation, which is doing it because if you don't do it, there will be negative repercussions. 

Motivation is making myself do something that I don't really want to do. 

Inspiration is having the clear picture of what I am wanting — and letting Universal forces come into play to get the outcome.

---Abraham

My Joy Factor

Your joy factor will remain constant as you are continually refining your ideas of what you want, and that's why it is so important for you to get everybody else out of the equation. 

They've got their own game going on; they don't understand your game. Give them a break; stop asking them what they think. 

Start paying attention to how you feel. 

Joy will be yours immediately, and everything else that you have ever thought would make you happy, will start flowing, seemingly effortlessly, into your experience.

---Abraham

I Allow The Flow, & All-That-Is Benefits From It As Well

When you expose yourself to contrast, you expose your Inner Being and All-That-Is to the same contrast. 

As you conclude a new desire, you summon Life Force forward into this leading edge experience. 

And whether you are allowing it to flow through you or not, All-That-Is benefits from that.

---Abraham

Miracles Are A Normal Ocurrence In My Life

There is no state of physical decline or damage that you could not recover from—none—not any, if you knew it... If you wanted it and knew that you could. 

And that's those miracles that they talk about every day. 

They're not miracles at all, they are the natural order of things. But because they are rare, people think they are miraculous. They're not. 

That's the way it is supposed to be. You're supposed to thrive.

---Abraham

The Importance Of Appreciation

Appreciation and self-love are the most important tools that you could ever nurture. 

Appreciation of others, and the appreciation of yourself is the closest vibrational match to your Source Energy of anything that we've ever witnessed anywhere in the Universe.

---Abraham

Fixated On What I Want

Get so fixated on what you want, that you drown out any vibration or reverberation that has anything to do with what you do not want.

---Abraham

To Allow Or Not To Allow

Physical pain is just an extension of emotion. 

It's all the same thing. 

There are two emotions. 

One feels good and one feels bad. 

Which means, you're connected to your Energy Stream or you're not allowing your Energy Stream.

---Abraham

More Thinking, Less Acting

Act a little less and think a little more... We're not saying stop acting and do it all in mind. We're saying work your 8 hours or your 10 hours or your 16 hours.. 

Just spend at least 10 or 15 minutes — in a day where you are working 8-10-16 hours of physical action in order to maintain the physical stuff that you've gathered around you — trying to find pleasure from some vision. 

Afford yourself that. 

And that 10 or 15 minutes that you are finding pleasure, will cause a focalization of Energy within you that the Universe will actualize around. 

You will begin to notice that you are more productive, because of 15 minutes of visualization, than you were from 16 hours of hard labor.

---Abraham

Pleasant Thoughts

Do you have to think specific positive thoughts about your body in order for your body to be the way you want it to be? 

No. But you have to not think the specific negative thoughts. 

If you could never again think about your body and, instead, just think pleasant thoughts — your body would reclaim its place of Well-being.

---Abraham

Enthusiasm Rules!

Rest seems like a nice contrast to overwhelment, but enthusiasm is always chosen over rest.

The only thing that ever makes you tired or bogs you down is resistance.

---Abraham

Constant Awareness Of The Way I'm Feeling

Rather than trying to monitor your thoughts, we encourage that you simply pay attention to how you are feeling.

For if you should choose a thought that is not in harmony with the way that broader, older, wiser, loving Inner Being part of you sees it, you will feel the discord; and then you can easily redirect your thought to something that feels better and, therefore, serves you better.

---Abraham

Positive Things In My Awareness

How do you feel about those things that you are giving most of your attention to? 

If there is something in your life that gives you negative emotion almost every time you think about it, we would do anything that we could do to get that negative thing out of our awareness.

---Abraham
