| Have you been watching or listening to the news | | | | contained and taken out to the curb as soon as |
| lately? Then you know we have a big problem on | | | | possible." Good analogy, don't you think? So dispose |
| our hands, actually, several big problems. And if you're | | | | of your negative thoughts and your life will smell |
| not careful you'll find yourself wallowing in the murk | | | | much better! |
| of fear, panic and despair. Things are a mess in our | | | | The world needs love, yet so many people do not |
| country, and in the world for that matter, there's no | | | | even know what love looks like. They believe it is in |
| doubt about that, but when messes happen, it's time | | | | the physical realm and is found in relationships, the |
| to get busy and clean them up. | | | | gathering of material possessions, and personal |
| So let's get busy! You've no doubt heard the song - | | | | achievements. But that's not where you find love. |
| What the world needs now, is love, sweet love. This | | | | Love is deep in the heart and it must be realized first |
| is a truth. The only thing that will ever heal anything - | | | | in self-love for you. You cannot give what you do |
| our country, our government, our leaders, our | | | | not have, so if you do not love yourself, you have |
| economic crisis, and the world - is love. Fear and the | | | | nothing to give anyone else. Loving yourself first is |
| expressions of fear - greed, anger, malice, jealousy, | | | | not being conceited or egotistical, because we are |
| bitterness -only create more of the same. Since | | | | created from love and that is our essence. |
| every thing in our world is composed of energy, | | | | Recognizing that fact allows us to know our true |
| what goes out comes back in the same form. This | | | | value and worth so that we can be and have |
| means fear begets more fear situations and | | | | whatever we want as a powerful, incredible |
| experiences, which could look like more wars, more | | | | masterpiece. As we recognize our brilliance we can |
| greed, more corruption, more dishonesty. In terms of | | | | then recognize the brilliance in others. So this is |
| cleaning up the mess, as long as fear is the core, we | | | | another step in helping yourself and the world - loving |
| get nowhere. | | | | yourself and radiating that self-love out to others. |
| Now that we've established that only love heals, | | | | Perhaps I've convinced you that changing your |
| what does that look like? First of all, you need to let | | | | thoughts and focus is vital for healing, but maybe |
| go of the idea that everything is falling apart. Look | | | | you're wondering how to do that. Many people hear |
| back over history, even the last couple decades of | | | | a new thought and agree with it, but have no idea |
| your life, and you'll notice that no matter what | | | | how to incorporate it into their life. Here it is, the |
| showed up in the country or your life, you made it | | | | number one and most powerful step you'll need to |
| through. The same will transpire here too - we will | | | | take to create the life you truly want. In order to |
| make it through. It's a time for regrouping, redoing, | | | | create that life - one of unlimited abundance and |
| reorganizing, and resourcefulness. Focus on the chaos | | | | unconditional love, you must shift your thoughts into |
| and you'll breed chaos in your life. Focus on where | | | | ones of gratitude. This means being grateful for |
| you want to go and you will get there because that | | | | every small and big thing, including your challenges. |
| is positive energy going to work from a place of love | | | | That's right, be thankful for everything and you will |
| and attracting the same to it. | | | | shift your entire life into one of abundance and love. |
| Once you've managed to release the negative | | | | This doesn't mean that all your problems will be |
| patterns and thoughts based from fear, let get of all | | | | solved instantly, or that money will drop out of the |
| attempts to control or fix the problem. Instead, | | | | sky like raindrops. What it does mean is that you'll |
| surrender the situation (problems) to your Higher | | | | recognize how much you already have, and when |
| Power. There is a power greater than you and there | | | | you focus on that good in your life, it will expand into |
| is a bigger picture from what you can see. Trusting in | | | | more, guaranteed! It may not come to you |
| this knowingness and keeping your faith and belief | | | | overnight, but it will come. The most vital component |
| that all is well allows you to become stronger, which | | | | is that you will have shifted and will see things |
| is necessary to bring the good into your life no | | | | differently. It's that energy thing again - whatever |
| matter what is going on in your external environment. | | | | you focus on expands and becomes more of the |
| Realize this too, that you cannot solve your problems | | | | same. To me this is a no brainer as to what to focus |
| in the same place they were created. This quote | | | | on. So every time you hear more negative news, |
| from Einstein states, "The problems we face today | | | | simply acknowledge it and shift to thinking about |
| cannot be solved from the same level of thinking | | | | something good in your life, perhaps the fact that |
| that created them." That's why it's so important to | | | | you are alive and kicking. The more you remind |
| quit trying to figure everything out and simply turn it | | | | yourself of the good the easier it becomes, making it |
| over to your Higher Power (God). | | | | faster for chasing away those negative bits of news |
| Are you still with me? Okay then, let's delve further. | | | | and subsequent fear thoughts. |
| We've been talking about energy and that whatever | | | | We have an incredible opportunity at this time in |
| goes out comes back the same - likes attract likes. | | | | history to really make positive changes. The changes |
| What do you think happens if you are continually | | | | begin within us, one individual at a time. Just as fear is |
| filling your mind up with negative information - from | | | | contagious, so is love contagious. Think of times |
| TV, radio, friends, peers, articles - about the tough | | | | when someone complemented you or did something |
| times surrounding us right now? You've got it! What | | | | nice for you unexpectedly. Remember how good it |
| you think about is what you create. If you are | | | | made you feel? Those were loving gestures and you |
| continually bombarding your mind with fear thoughts | | | | responded favorably to them. Try smiling at a |
| about the economy, you'll find yourself spinning in the | | | | frowning person and nine times out of ten they will |
| same cycle of fear. It's that energy thing again - | | | | return the smile, shifting away from their frown. We |
| what you put out comes back, guaranteed! So quit | | | | have the power to make a tremendous difference in |
| filling up with fear. Instead, read a great, inspiring | | | | our community, our country and our world as we |
| book or go for a walk, or watch a comedy that | | | | shift to the good and think positively. |
| makes you laugh and helps you realize there is a lot | | | | Begin today by shifting your negativity into focusing |
| of good in your life. | | | | on the good things in your life and you will be |
| You have to make some changes in order to thrive | | | | amazed how different your life will appear. As has |
| in this economy so it means inputting good, positive | | | | been said so many times before - Where you focus |
| things on a regular and daily basis. James Arthur Ray | | | | your thoughts is the place from which you are |
