Yesterday I had the opportunity to teach my daughter, Danielle, a good lesson on the Law of Attraction and beliefs. This is a very personal post, and it will expose some of my former beliefs that were NOT pretty. I am posting this in the hope that you may realize that no matter what beliefs you currently have, you can change them and help others in the process. Controversial, to say the least, but I've made the decision to open myself and "put myself out there" to help others, so here goes... Up until now, I've held back things for fear of "saying the right thing." That, I realized, it lack-based thinking and I've chosen to release that type of thinking. Let me preface the story by mentioning that we live the city that has the largest migrated population from a particular country that has been in upheaval. Of course, I'm not going to mention the nationality here. There are signs in most of the stores with that language on there as well because many people don't speak English here. I live in a huge city, but I happen to live in the neighborhood where they migrated, so it's part of our reality on a daily basis. The one thing I noticed when I first moved up here was the amount of hostility from these people. It really floored me at first. The other thing I noticed was their sense of entitlement. For example:

• You can be walking down the aisle at a grocery store, and they will grab your cart and move it if they want something in front of it without saying a word.

• They will park their three carts in the middle of the aisle and start yelling at you if you say, "excuse me" to get through.

• They will butt in front of you in line and give you the "I DARE you to say anything to me" look. It used to anger and frustrate me to no end.

After many frustrating trips to the store, I finally decided to do some work on the experiences I was attracting into my life. I realized that I have control over the experiences I experience and didn't have to experience those types of occurrences. I decided to do some research and found out that many of the people were in horrific circumstances and live in fear 24/7, even while here. They are terrified of the police as well, which would be a horrible way to live. I realized they live a very fear and lack-based existence, and what they believe is what they give off as their main vibration. It explains a lot about their behavior... It used to anger me that our government pays them to live here and gives out grants to start businesses when U.S. citizens aren't entitled to the same. (BIG TIME lack thinking!) I'm embarrassed to even mention how I thought, but I thought it out of ignorance, which is where most lack thinking comes from. It wasn't until I made the decision to change that I started seeing things "with a new set of eyes." It wasn't until yesterday that I realized how far I've come... Earlier in the week I got a flyer from a new thrift store's grand opening, so we stopped in to see what they had to offer. She said it was too crowded and people were being rude. I personally hadn't noticed. She said that someone had pushed her and another had said, "Get out of my way!" The odd thing was, I noticed activity around me, but I was so grateful I had found 7 books I had been looking for (for .70 each, mind you - that's manifestation at it's finest) that I didn't notice anyone being rude to me. I hadn't expected it, so it didn't exist to me. She expected it because that had become her reality, so guess what she got? More of what she expected and believed would happen. We had a little chat on the way home and I let her in on "my little secret " (although it's not just mine, of course!) She said it "sorta made sense." (she's 13) She didn't understand why people never "got under my skin" and why they got to her so much. I just mentioned that she's going to get what she expects, be it good or bad. I figure, if I can at least get her out of the competitive state of mind by rethinking her old beliefs, then maybe, just maybe, she may get in on this way of thinking a little earlier than I did (by about 28-29 years or so!) At least she will know about it, and then she can choose if she wants to embrace that way of thinking. I sometimes wish I had learned about it in my earlier years, but then again, I wouldn't have the experience to share with you like I do, so it's all in Divine Order. I hope by "exposing" some of my old thinking and how working on my deep seated beliefs constantly changes my life for the better that I can inspire you to work on your beliefs and get the best out of life. The one thing I've learned about doing the work on yourself (using the Law of Attraction and other Universal principles) is that it has a tendency to sneak up on you! You do the work and don't see many results and then, whammo! Your life has changed for the better. It's sort of like the bamboo tree that grows underground for so long and then when it breaks ground, it shoots up like crazy! So, hopefully, you can expose some of your "lack-based" thinking and find your own way of changing your beliefs to more empowering ones. I know it's definitely helped me in my life and I hope it does the same for you... What "truths" in your existence can you challenge to make your life more empowering?
