Its All A Conspiracy

If you've been having trouble feeling the gratitude
I was talking about last week try this on for size.

Thousands of things go right for you every day,
beginning the moment you wake up. Through
some magic you don't fully understand, you're still
breathing and your heart is beating, even though
you've been unconscious for many hours. The air
is a mix of gases that's just right for your body's
needs, as it was before you fell asleep.

You can see! Light of many colors floods into
your eyes, registered by nerves that work to
perfection in most people. The interesting gift of
these vivid hues comes to you courtesy of an
unimaginably immense globe of fire, the sun,
which continually detonates nuclear reactions in
order to convert its body into light and heat and
energy for your personal use.

Did you know that the sun is located at the
precise distance from you to be of perfect service?
If it were any closer, you'd fry, and if it were any
further away, you'd freeze.

Here's another of the sun's benedictions: It
appears to rise over the eastern horizon right on
schedule every day, as it has since long before
you were born.

Do you remember when you were born, by the
way? It was a difficult miracle that involved
many people who worked hard on your behalf.
No less miraculous is the fact you have
continued to grow since then, with millions of
new cells being born inside you to replace the
old ones that die. All of this happens whether or
not you ever think about it.

On this day, like almost every other, you have
awoken inside a temperature-controlled shelter.
You have a home! Your bed and pillow are soft
and you're covered by comfortable blankets.
The electricity is turned on, as usual. Somehow,
in ways you're barely aware of, a massive power
plant at an unknown distance from your home is
transforming fuel into currents of electricity that
reach you through mostly hidden conduits in the
exact amounts you need, and all you have to do
to control the flow is flick small switches with
your fingers.

And that's just scratching the surface as written
by Rob Brezsny the author of: PRONOIA Is the
Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World is
Conspiring to Shower You With Blessings

If your shot isn't what you want it to be you can
be very grateful you can do something about it.
All it takes is a quality decision, getting the best
information, and putting in the time.

Once you get started it really becomes fun.

Shoot For The Stars,

Are You A Have Or A Have Not

O.K. now you have an inkling how to turn down the
volume on the negative in your life. Through
releasing, letting go, and forgiving you can fade out
the power of the things you don't want in your life.

I forgot to mention that includes being critical,
cynical and judgemental too. I'm too well
acquainted with that minefield myself. I've found
out though you can't release much of anything
when you are going around binding things up all
the time, in others or in yourself.

Next what you need is a reliable way to make the
good in your life multiply and prosper. If you can
shoot 67% at the freethrow line today, you want
to know how to shoot 77%. If you love someone,
you want to know how to make that love stronger.
If you are in school youwant to know how to get
better grades. If youhave a good business you
want it to grow. It's just natural.

You will have to believe what I tell you today, but
in the coming days I'll explain more about why I
think this all works. The key here is in first
recognizing the good you already have. Awareness
and paying attention are king. Then growth and
multiplication lie in a simple formula anyone can
practice. You might know it as gratitude,
thanksgiving, appreciation, or honoring.

When you appreciate the good in your life, you
prime the pump to receive more. If you take the
good for granted though it will diminish. Like how
you lose muscle tone when you don't exercise.

And if you ungratefully focus on what you lack or
need you will even multiply the lack in your life.
Sorry, not my rules. That's the way the universe
works.

So to be a success at anything you need to let go
of what you don't want, and be grateful for and
appreciate what you do. It's as simple as that.

Not easy to do. It takes awareness, practice, and
repetition. But it is simple.

Tomorrow I'll give you a scientific basis for how
this works if you're still a doubting Thomas. It
has to do with a little thing called resonance.
