Day 7: Being the Chooser

As soon as you decide to own your own actions and know that you attract responses through your actions, you can begin to control what you do and what you attract. It’s all very straight forward. Know what you want, strive for what you want and don’t give up or accept anything less.

Being successful is irrelevant to me because being successful usually involves comparison and values determined by society. I’d like to see everyone as individual each has completed different goal and preference for one’s own success. Hence ‘being aligned to Oneself’ can be the better translation of being successful for me. The real success for me is the inner harmony , self-realized and being able to follow the natural life flow while at the same time having lots of fun. At this point, in some way I’ve achieved the success since how can I not follow the life flow when I’m already in the flow. In another way I still have a lot to explore, to learn more about me, to be more accepting without effort(the art of Dao), to create and enjoy more wonderful experiences(to have more fun).

Everyone has always been a chooser whether consciously or unconsciously. Consciously being a chooser for me means to be aware of HERE NOW I’m empowered and am the universe creator of my life.

Ealry yesterday morning, I did some work on my browser to make sure Elyse’s sites were in my “safe sites” list –
then I let itgo, figuring that this is an extension of Elyse herself and she would know immediatelyif the site were down and would get it working again – I HAVE changed – I would have been blasting off panic emails!!!

I did go ahead for the day with my current “work”
to recognize the negative “enemies within” boiling up out of nowhere – I did have one bad reflex surge up, but otherwise behaved subtly differently at work and with my team – and wrote a genuine compliment to the temporary leader and copied it to our boss, and the boss above ….
I got a lot more work done, and without stress and anxiety ….
my car is a little unwell – but I will not panic – and do my research and preparation in case it needs to go back in the “shop”
and today there is a spntaneous “pot-luck” lunch for everyone in this whole campus – over 400 people – to welcome at least 200 who have been moved in from other companies and locations – and are “not our people” and are loud and don;t repsect our territory etc – but the spontaneous welcome will show them other ways of humans working together in a subtle way ….
so today – again – recognize the negative impulses, lack, whining and anger – and breathe it out to make space for prosperous, spontaneous, subtle actions – and there at LEAST FIVE CHOICES in any situation – not just my old reflex ….
THANK YOU ELYSE and everyone

Today I have decided to be the choser in my life. I did not realize that I have chose some of the situations I am in. I was very successful at one time then, I thought because of the economy, that things have become very tough for me. Today I realize that somewhere along the way my momentem changed. And I began to chose problems that I did not want! So today I am chosing differently!
Thank you for helping me to see that!

I am making a conscious effort to make everything thing I say come into alignment with the positive. I hear so many people everyday who think they are being positive.. but in fact the words they are using are actually undermining their ability to attract what it is that they desire. Instead of saying “I am so grateful to be alive” – they might say something like “I’m glad I’m not dead” — same thought — different vibrational energy… So – I choose to have thoughts, ideas, and conversations that are of only the highest vibrational energry now and forever. And so it is…

Today I will make an effort to be the choser and the reacter in my life. I will choose to speak positive words. I will eliminate negative thingsand people that may influence me to choose negatively. I will choose to remain focused on my goal of a prosperous life no matter what I see or hear around me.

I choose this day a joyous, lively, beautiful, peaceful, purposeful and wealthy life. And so it is!

Lets start choosing good things!

My start in the steps to more consciously CHOOSING to live my life started almost 2 years ago, when I started honoring what my “gut” was saying and following those messages. Although I do not know what it is I should be doing/choosing, I give myself over to what Divine Source needs me to do and focus on silencing the outside world so that I can “hear” where I need to be. And I know that wherever I am, I will do my best to be my best in that situation.

Each day opens me up more to see how living on this earth plane creates “autopilot” into places of negativity. So I focus on letting go of “autopilot” and being conscious of where I am.

Making a decision to be successful – is I suppose subconsciously reminding yourself that really and truly it is you in control – you control whether you are successful or not. Those people who feel that they determine their life, are the ones who feel brave enough to DECIDE to be successful – what happens after that is just simply all the laws of attraction and the universe conspiring to make it happen and in the absence of fear, where there is real belief, the path to success is amazingly simple. I suppose we are all here to convince ourselves that we really can do it – the goal for everyone should therefore be to end up being ABLE to make a decision to have what we want, so that it will automatically shift from being a ‘wish’ with doubts attached, to an unbounded goal that has to, by the laws of the universe, come into being.

By the way Aurora, if you read this, I love your goals – I may copy and paste a few for myself I would say good luck… but of course you do not need it, therefore – enjoy attaining all the wonderful things you have set out for yourself one by one

To be the chooser. We of course always choose but are unaware that we are doing so. So, today I begin a life of choice. Sometimes I will choose well and sometimes I will choose not so well. When I do the not so well choosing I know that it is because I have a limiting belief that I need to deal with. I will choose to use this as an opportunity to learn. I will choose to eat fruit for my spiritual develpoment. I will choose to drink water instead of milk. I choose to listen to my body and give it what it needs. I will choose to choose more and more each and every day. I choose properity!

I choose freedom each and every time.

I choose unadulterated happiness that aligns me with my Inner Me, so that we can communicate, so that I can be guided by my wisdom.

I choose inspired action that takes me out of the groove of ‘normal behaviour for Maxine’.

I choose my total and complete evolution to living my life through deliberate creation, where I am deliberately created by my ability to align myself and connect wholeheartedly with me.

Even before this experiment came about this time around, my intention was to spend the month of August, being aware of my feelings, and finding good feeling thoughts. I know ‘this stuff’ works. I know it in every single part of my being, that this works and is right for me. Years ago, I remember being so confused about religion and life that I had to wonder what I was here for. What was the point if my only choice was to follow a religion that I did not agree with. I yearned for a law that applied to everyone, regardless of religion, race, creed, sexuality, etc….something universal that was untouched by man and could not be directed by man. I love the Law of Attraction, it is exciting, out there and magical, and I choose it every single time.

I now choose to harness its power into my daily existence.

I would like to share my poem with you, born out of a desire to make friends with the energy of money and for us to form an unbreakable bond of abundance and prosperity.

Money
Your love grows for me each and everyday,
But I tell you no and push you away
By my actions, by my thoughts of what you represent,
Not realising money that you were heaven sent.

Money I realise you have always been here for me
Like the good friend you are I am now ready to see and feel,
That you represent the freedom I have yearned
And I know longer choose to disregard you for I have now learnt

That you are as much energy as the air I breathe
Each loving intake of breath flows to my heart
And with the love of life it reaches all parts
To nourish and support me and allow me to choose
Which part of you to happily abuse
Lack or abundance, its seems like an easy choice
Till now I have held onto to those stories that paint a different picture
With greed and riches becoming the victor.

Money is no good, too much can only bring pain
Lest we forget that too little can feel more like a strain.
So what do I choose, the pain or the strain,
The pain of seeing all I have worked for go down the drain.

I have come to believe that there is more to life than that
All that I have experienced does not have to signify fact,
The truth is as transient as what I choose to believe and
I breathe new life into you as I turn a new leaf.

I welcome your energy, your joy and your passion,
And realise that I have been misguided about you to a fashion
From this point on, I am going to choose
The abundance of life with my inner Me, as my muse
To guide me and steer me towards life’s riches
To experience the contrast and expansion of Me and happily overcome the glitches,
To incorporate you, Money and freedom for what I do
For I am worth all the time and energy I put in to acquire you

I trust that you will come to me both in expected and unexpected ways
And I now welcome your presence for the rest of my days
To write a new chapter beginning with My dream…….
To open my arms and embrace you is much easier than it may seem.

Being the Chooser – I am the chooser, whether I realise it or not! Most of my life, I’ve been choosing what I don’t want. Now, I’m learning (by practising!) to choose what I DO WANT!!! It’s really so simple, but like many simple things, it’s hard because I’ve been in such a habit of doing the opposite. This experiment came at the right moment – of course!! I was in a “black hole” of debt, with no obvious way out. I can see so clearly now, how I’ve been choosing debt all along. I am now consciously choosing prosperity (in all its forms) and it is beginning to manifest. I can now FEEL prosperous, even though I haven’t received a bundle of money yet. I can see endless possibilities for earning money, easily and enjoyably. I can deliberately keep my thoughts on abundance, happiness, joy and the life I want. I feel certain that the money will show up, but it doesn’t matter so much, because I’m choosing prosperity moment by moment – life is great anyway! I’m eternally grateful for this experiment – thank you!

This strong statement means to me that success is all about choosing… Chossing if I want to be success of not.

I have to ponder the statement when thinking do I sabotage my self from being really rich.

I notice when I play the game, I have no resistance. I love spending money and when I am playing I really feel more is coming tomorrow. I love that feeling by the way. I thoroughly enjoy spending. Today, I bought a Lexus. I have been wanting one for some time and it feels so good.

Each day, now since I am in the $45,000 plus range, I am finding it difficult to find things to purchase. It was much easier at the beginning. I am wondering if that is my setpoint. But, I do enjoy giving at this point to. I have had great fun finding different ways to helps lots of people with my money each day.

You know, alll that I need and all that I want is here now. I do have all the money for today and I know that all that I desire for tomorrow is here too. I just need to open more and allow it to come into my reality.

Today I experienced the first manifestation of “being the chooser” – I suddenly felt the urge to ring my bank about my overdraft and make demands instead of accepting & trying to get by. The phonecall ended with me telling them very politely that their conditions weren`t acceptable for me and that I intended to change banks.

What came to a surprise to me was this tremendous feeling of power and independence resulting from this move (although my situation, i.e. the amount of money I owe, hasn`t actually changed) – a great experience!

reading comments like that have always made me uncomfortable and nervous, and i think that is because a) i felt overwhelmed b) i did not want to take responsibility for the negative aspects in my life and for the things that where not going the way i wanted them to go c) that seems like A LOT of responsibility. So i would revert back to my old ways and ruts in life, kinda semi-conscious about what was going on around me….kind of a pathetic way to live on my opinion, but when the results around you are not all that bad, you convince yourself that it’s easy and ok to live like this ….not living up to my potential and capabilities. I deserve more than this damn it! I have gone back and forth, having moments of deciding it is time to change and going balls out in effort, only to short moments later and drift back into my half-existence of before.
When i read that quote today, i noticed my resistance towards it and my past discomfort with it was minimal!!! yey!! but still, i felt the tug of resistance. i am grateful for that change!! that opens a space to flood with hope, action, diligence, and responsibility! I CAN do this. It is OK to be successful and YES! I AM capable of achieving my dreams and goals no matter how long I have been trying to and failing to achieve them. It is my time now to shine, as with the rest of my fellow beautiful brothers and sisters!!! I am so thankful for all of your posts. I get inspired and change perceptions and have hope and thanks. I am ready for responsibility of my own life. I am ready to make a phenominal difference in my life and let it spark those around me to do the same and start LIVING theirs! I love myself enough now to realize I do deserve more and life was given to us to live however we want, we have the tools to live a life in hell and we have the tools to live a life in heaven and beyond. Time to make the switch. Here’s to My Prosperity and here’s to Your Prosperity! So Much Love and Light and Guidance

A year later … now I choose adulthood – calmness when the rage against others boils up from an unknown inner depth – deep breath and release. NOt expending any energy in “managing” just opening the window and letting it evaporate away.
Evidence, yesterday on my boat swinging on the moorings int he sunshine, a friend relaxing wile I cared for some varnishwork …. a small butterfly, a fritillary, CHOSE to settle on the back of my hand, stayed there for two minutes – its feelers stroking my skin! …out of all the universe it CHOSE me to land on –my heart flowed for a moment of one-ness …

Choosing – already so much evidence after barely a week. 5 acquaintances have become solid sailing friends, have sailed on my boat I have been restoring with love … and they want to sail with me and each other again….

LEsson from Elyse – am I open to much much more ?- resetting my challenge to the Universe already to allow for much much more of what I am desiring.

And realising that from a year ago, when I was still setting my jaw to set goals…. knowing my inner heart and simplifying, I actually am able to feel desire in a cellular way – for the first time since my love died of a massive heart attack 22 years ago.

I am filled with gratitude to be turned towards the universe now, like a sunflower follows the sun.
Thank you Elyse for this Experiment, the Game, the Gratitude Journal

Interesting that this being the Chooser comes today — on Friday, I chose to take control of my life in ways I haven’t previously: to generate $2 million or more in my business by 9/30/2010; to transform my thinking and actions to be in alignment with doing that; to manifest my ideal mate; and to become the Queen of Manifestation and Freedom. I love that I now not only have the alignment of 11 people who witnessed me in those Choices, but now also the 1000+ members in this experiment. How cool is that?

A lot of people I knew before, never thought of doing this decision.
The people I knew now, have already done this decision, years ago, or just doing it right now!

So hey, this is a big shift!

This statement tells me, that it is my own personal choice, where to look.
I can get stuck with stuff, that I don´t want to, or I can either have everything in life, that desire. Simply by regarding it. Because the LAO will give it to me….

Looking forward to allow myself the fullfilling of my desires!!!!!!!!!

I am choosing to be creative, to be aligned with my creativity, to work only in ways which expand and delight me and with those who are also ready to be expanded and delighted.
I am choosing to trust my “inner compass”, my intuition.
I am choosing to be kind to myself.
I am choosing to define success as making meaningful connections which generate long-lasting impact.
I am choosing authenticity over world-defined success.
I am choosing to be a profoundly impactful writer, coach and artist.
I am choosing Joy.

And I am choosing to accept the Gifts of the Universe!
Including Breath …

I am choosing to live the life I desire. I will keep my comittments to myself and others.

I have been starting my day for some time with the words: I co-create with the Divine a day of love, joy, prosperity, abundance, well being, satisfaction, personal fulfillment, well-being, the richness of having good friends and being a good friend and a day filled with gratitude. It is amazing what this simple sentence will set in motion.

This past year has been filled with enormous upheaval in my life with a very ill husband who has been out of work since August of 2008.
I decided to “choose” to move through this in the best way possible. I decided to choose to see the good and daily find things to be grateful for and in this storm have been many blessings. I was guided to keep a gratitude journal and it was the most healing activity for me. I had never done that before with any kind of daily practice.

I am thrilled to report the healing in our family and a new job for me starting in October.

Looking forward to creating more and more wonderful things.

It is amazing what you can do by choosing to see, do and be the best you can be and be thankful for it!

I had an epiphany by an apple tree yesterday, one overflowing with fruit. I have tended to let other people be responsible for the prosperity I enjoy, but yesterday I realized that only when I am willing to take responsibility for every aspect of my life am I in a position to create it deliberately. I have made such a habit out eating the apples off other people’s trees that I haven’t bothered to stand tall and see that my own tree is bursting with fruit as well!

I choose life. I choose my life. I choose to love my life. I choose god and gratitude, and receiving, and giving, and knowing, and being, and living, and playing. I choose life.

What does choosing mean to me? Choosing means making a conscious choice to accept my life, love my life, feel my life. I can rebel against life or I can choose to accept it with gratitude. I can accept my life with rebellion or I can choose it and love it and be grateful for it. I choose to choose my life. I love my life. I want my life.I choose to allow my intuition to direct me more and more each day.

I choose to allow the Universe, or God, speak to me, through me, loving me and providing me with the abundant life of prosperity He promised.

I choose to live my life one day at a time. I choose to receive.

I choose to be the deliberate decider of my reality. I choose to allow the thoughts that make me happy now and that will attract more experiences of the same.

Everyday I will say :

Today nothing is more important than that I deliberately choose my thoughts and that I feel good. Even if I have no reason to feel good, I choose to feel good for the sake of feeling good.

I choose to allow All That Is to be All That Is. I choose to allow wonderful experiences into my life even though I can not possibly know how they will come.

This statement means to me is that a change has to occur. All of us are no different or more special than another. On one of the audios this weekend I heard someone say that she was a comedian and so was Roseanne Barr and while watching Roseanne on television, she wondered what made Roseanne so different. The only difference was, Roseanne was doing, she was the comedian, she had the show. The reality is, Roseanne wanted it.
I now choose to live my life to the fullest the way that I want to live it. I choose to have a fulfilling career, supportive and spiritual friends and a wonderful life.
None of this is by coincidence. We are all exactly where we are supposed to be this particular time.

I feel there is a turning point when I decide to go with the movement of energy – the field of energy and direct all my affairs through that movement. In every moment that I do this I feel that I have succeeded in my living to the core. Today is the day of peace all over the world but I need to be truly at peace in my self through and through to be a benefit to the whole. I love this process. Thanks for this space. Bette

That imaginary line in the sand, in our hearts, to a moment in our lives when we CHOOSE a different path, for we have now reached a turning point. For me, it is I WANT TO BE ON THIS OTHER SIDE OF ME:), the one who crosses this imaginary line to share my music, my ideas, my dreams. Before, I have questioned, doubted, feared, STOPPED MOVING FORWARD, and this melts away in all the majesty of SHARING! My life is now new and bold and I, I am in awe of this transformation!

Funny how Money ties into this very Life Force as an electromagnetic sort of thing, evidence that I am truly on this path of discovery and sharing. Does LOA work? Hey:) I will align ANY day with the energy that powers worlds! I CHOOSE to tell an empowering story, I choose it, I choose it, I choose it, AND THEN THE UNIVERSE BECOMES THE WIND BENEATH ME, ALL AROUND ME, ABOVE AND BELOW ME, I am showered with just what I consciously connect with.

I am at this point in my life NOW, the point when I choose the path that nurtures me and others around me. Does not mean I will not experience storms, ups and downs, rough seas! What it does mean is I have chosen my course and I choose to Succeed! I now have this powerful compass that leads me home.

It is possible to choose our responses in any given situation based on what we are drawn to, inspired by and thereby focus on achieving.

I choose to feel safe in relationships, to connect with others and to meet someone I am interested in dating (and he in dating me.)

And so it is.

I’ve experienced this on several occasions, so I know it’s true. At a given point, I’ve simply resolved that something was going to change and from that moment forward it was a done deal in the sense that it became the primary reason for acting in certain ways.

A good example is when I quit smoking for the last time. At a given moment I simply made up my mind that I was a non-smoker. It took 2-3 days to kick the physical effects, then after that it was a matter of not allowing habits to continue. Having established that I was a non-smoker, smoking no longer made sense so any actions I took were those of a non-smoker.

“Being the Chooser”, what does this mean to me. It means that I have control of what thoughts and actions I take in life. If negative thoughts and past unhappy experiences come up, I have the choice to choose another thought. I let Spirit guide me by being silent and still (medidation).

Being a full time Forex trader, where every trade has a 50% probability of success, I choose the thought that each trade will be a good one. All losing trades I consider them to be just experiments or learning experiences and move on.

Today I CHOOSE the thought that I will let Spirit guide me and teach me the skills to be the GREATEST Forex trader, take action by taking real trades, practice and review previous trades each day and KNOW by developing the skill set and applying each day, I will be a MASTER trader and money which will be the result will come on its own. I WANT and CHOOSE to be the CAUSE and the effect of money and prosperity will come.

Linda

When I agree to the statement that I am the chooser, I take responsibility for my choices and therefore the outcome of my choices. Further, as I have chosen to embody inner and outer prosperity as the permenant, natural condition of my life, I must make choices of thought and action that support this condition. I must remain awake to my habits of thought and action to ensure that they support my condition of inner and outer prosperity.

Am I ready to be the Chooser in my life? Have I made the turning point, the decision to choose success?

I would like to answer yes and yes. I know in the past it would have been no and no. I never chose success, I chose fear and hurt and following.

I am choosing to create during the 30 day experiment a new version of me. I am focusing on me and listening to what i want and dream of (not what others want). I am choosing to notice the things that make me happy. I am noticing what makes me want to push against so that I can choose not to. I am affirming what I know is true and right. I am choosing to be smart and successful as I’ve always known I could be. I am choosing to let go of old thought patterns based in fear or hurt, I am letting go of the negative and nonproductive parts of me.

I am choosing to be positive, to enjoy life and all its gifts, and to honor myself.

“What are you choosing to create during the course of the 30-day experiment?”

I am consciously choosing to focus on the truth that my natural state is Well-BEing, and my dominant vibration is JOY.

I am choosing to create a life filled with love, joy, bliss, delight, enthusiasm, passion, learning, and adventure.

I am choosing to create harmonious, inspiring and uplifting relationships.

I am choosing to create soul-satisfying, fulfilling work.

I am choosing to create financial serenity and constantly increasing flow.

I am choosing to create ease, peace, and flow in all aspects of my life.

I am choosing to create an expanded perspective, to re-member that I AM co-creating with the Divine…appreciating and honouring my desires.

We know this about choice of course. But it is huge and very empowering once taken on board, and, very scary too. Because it means I need to make a very real commitment and take full responsibility and can no longer hide behind anything, anyone or any circumstance as a reason why I do not achieve success. It means the power is mine to choose to be one of those that MAKE IT.

My intention is to truly embrace this process and to reach the end, in a very awakened space and state of mind. My intention is to get as much clarity as possible as to how I think about my life and to be very clear about what I choose – and what I choose to think about. My intention is to pause, a lot, so that I can assess and appreciate that which I already have as well as that which I already am. My intention is to remember that my Higher Power wishes only the best for me at all times, and grants me that which I need, to have or to learn, in every moment.

To live in this awareness, will make the flow of abundance diverse and endless.

Again, as with yesterday’s quote from Abraham, we come to a place where we just have to choose, but it has to come from a place within. It’s not a choice that another can make for us…or that another can feel for us…or that another can do for us. It is a deep yearning…a deep, deep, deep, deep yearning that nothing else will do where we realize we want to change “THIS” in our lives. This meaning anything and everything that can get us to a place of well-being and help us stay there consistently. It’s a place. A state of being. And this does not mean fighting against what is and resisting…it means embracing all that is – who we are, where we are – and feeling good anyway.

evidence that it works.
Friday: bumped into an old industry colleague and friend who i haven’t seen or spoken to in about 2 years. In talking to her she asked for my new contact information and said that she might have some opportunities for me. i.e., Clients. – i resigned from my advertising and marketing career in january of this year and have since started by own consultant firm that specializes in marketing. branding and project management.

evidence that it works.
Saturday: bumped into a friend/associate that i have not seen in at least 10 years. she started her her own PR firm and brand strategy firm. she asked me if i’d be willing to connect to create and make money together!

evidence that it works:
Sunday: bumped into an amazing entrepreneur who i met a few weeks ago about partnering to open a restuarant. separately,we both had plans to open restaurants and found out (though someone who introduced us a few weeks ago), that we had similar ideas and might want to partner. when we met a few weeks ago the vibe/energy between us didn’t seem to be there – it wasn’t bad energy, just didn’t seem to be any. now, a few weeks later, we clicked in a different way than during our first introduction. he just opened another establishment on saturday (his second business in the neighborhood – his first business has been open and thriving for some time), and asked me to hold off on moving forward with my restaurant idea until he could get his new place settled and we could talk again about partnering. it felt good. like i’m definitely moving in the right direction. we plan to talk and/or meet on wednesday. i intend to have my restaurant open within the next 6 months!

yes, I have chosen success after 15 years in business I am creating a truly successful business which will be profitable and I will achieve financial freedom. In the past I have simply borrowed more and more to create an illusion of properity, no more, reality has begun I will demand I will achieve i will align myself with the positive universe and the universe will deliver to me

I think today’s quote resonates with me due to experiences I’ve had in life, and they involve deciding to do something to shift myself out of a miserable situation I’ve been in. Some years ago, I was going through a divorce, and risked losing all the money I’d put into the house we’d shared due to various factors. I had resigned myself to this fact, until something happened that made me determined to find a way to buy my ex out of the house and keep it. Having tried several ways of raising the extra mortgage needed, I had really run out of ideas when a businessman I knew only slightly stepped in and offered to act as guarantor.

However, as grateful as I was to him, this left me with a hefty mortgage and having to work long hours and take in lodgers to meet my commitments, which I was determined to do. I had become miserable in the job I was in but couldn’t afford to leave. I prayed every night to find a way to clear my mortgage. Then I saw an ideal job advertised with the same company but in a different location. I applied for the job and was successful. Three weeks after I started, I had an unexpected windfall that enabled me to pay off all my debts, including the mortgage, with some to spare. My message here, I think, is if you feel stuck, do SOMETHING to get unstuck. Once ther Universe sees you’re prepared to make the commitment, it will step in and help out.

today i choose to be the chooser in my life, to no longer be a victim but the powerful spiritual being that i truly am. after taking the heroe’s journey on last night’s ppp call and having just written my sacred contract, i NOW CHOOSE to live a life of abundace and freedom.
I Choose:
to not listen to the chatter in my head
to act despite fear
to let go of apathy
to commit to me
to take care of me
to take care of my environment
to live a platinum life
to stand in my power
to come from a place of love
to be open to all possibilities
to allow
to be a rich
to do it anyway!

thank you angels, god, the universal flow, elyse and everyone on this journey!

so be it!

I’d have to say that for most of the past 27 years, I’ve been one of the masses. I was just kind of muddling along hoping that success would come and find me, but I didn’t even know what I thought of as success. Now I know that I am the chooser and I am the one who decides what success is to me . I am creating the life of my dreams and even though I might look around right now and not see what I’m wanting, I know that it’s simply the manifestation of past thoughts. And since it’s the manifestation of past thoughts, as long as I continue to choose different thoughts now, I will soon be enjoying the manifestation of those thoughts. I’m excited to see what more will come as I continue to play this game and align myself with this like-minded community!

Choosing sums it up! I choose from this day forward to manifest the things that I want and need in my life.

I choose to NOT live in the land of Lack.

I choose to obliterate the things in my life that send me through the roof in anger.

I choose to have more than enough of everything.

My feelings always align perfectly with what I am focusing on so that my desires manifest easily. I give my attention to what I want and let the contrast flow by without resistance. I allow all things to live and come and go from my life in perfect order. This or something better is flowing to me every moment. All is well.

Abundance and prosperity are my divine right and is right with the divine. I align my thoughts with my feelings to allow these into my life. I allow the contrast to live and focus my attention on what I want in my life.

wow – this is a hard one!
I’ve gotten pretty good at taking time to go for walks to my favorite spot (a little bridge way down the road). I’m thankful that I’m hearing loud and clear what my higher self has to say. A few days ago, while on my walk, I received a fantastic guided visualization (which I spoke aloud) about my own personal garden, the seeds in my pocket, and choosing the right ones to plant, which grew into multi-colored lavish stalks, which I climbed, higher and higher, finding more than I ever dreamed possible. WOW! I’ve also enjoyed viewing nature – grand egrets and lovely mating butterflies, the red dragon flies who escort me on my way, sweet turtles with their soft bodies under hard shells… I’ve also been cutting out images for my image journal (glued the most recent ones in last night – the glue exploded all over me in the process – what does that mean?!!). For the most part, my daily living is flowing in grace (which means I am guided, I follow through, and then I can even later see why I did what I did, when I did it – sure makes me appreciate those guiding urges!).

But – BOY can I feel it when I’m focusing on negative energy – I’ve gotten pretty good at just changing the subject with my husband, or moving a friend onto a lighter topic of conversation. Someone mentioned this in one post – even the tingling in my cells when the positive, creative, joyous energy jumps into my being – I experience that too – amazing! It’s been difficult for me to “choose” because I’m still struggling with the whole “taking responsibility for every aspect of my life thing”. I have a husband and 6 children, and sometimes I just can’t figure out why they start fighting – just out of the blue! It’s a good thing I’m coming to see that they have every right to be their own people – if that includes fighting with one another (just as I should have to be myself – with my own inner conflcts!). I’ve made GREAT strides in keeping my emotions stable – it feels so good to keep my level head. My difficulty has been in choosing what I want and then sticking with it (ie. I want to live in CA in a Modern home and be an actress – how to get there from here…). I do enjoy the freedom to dream, however, and gain strength in knowing that this is all a game – and I just want to live a joyous life NOW. Choosing to make myself happy (and keep myself happy) is my focus now, and I know I can do that whether I’m dreaming about what I want in the future, or living my juicy life as it is in the moment.

It’s astonishing to me how ready I am for this experiment — the theme this weekend was all about choice.

I was thrown a few curve balls that required me to take a moment, step back and think about how I wanted to feel about the situation I was in and where this was headed.

Everything has been so uncertain which is hard to get used to if you’ve had traditional jobs with regular pay days. There’s a sense of security in that regularity. I opted for something else and with that comes a commitment to trusting the unknown.

I choose to trust. I choose to believe. I choose to know that the best this world has to offer is headed into my life or already resides within me. I choose to be grateful for all that I have. I choose.

‘I found every single successful person I’ve ever spoken to had a turning point and the turning point was where they made a clear specific unequivocal decision that they were not going to live like this anymore. That they were going to achieve success. And some people make that decision at 15 and some people make it at 50, and most people never make it at all.’
— Brian Tracy

I had one of these moments a few years ago. It was the hardest decision I ever made, but one I knew I had to make as the Life I had was not serving my Higher Self. I was ready to focus on my Self, my career, and literally move into a new direction. I knew, however, that I could not take my old life with me to that place. At that time I made a hard, heart wrenching decision to change and move forward on my own. I moved to another part of the country, I moved both physically and mentally somewhere else, somewhere new, somewhere I knew no-one for a fresh start. It was both refreshing and isolating.

Since this time it has taken me a few years to heal. In my physical space I moved forward and developed my career. My emotional Self has been slower to respond as I worked through my feelings.

I continue to work through meditation, exercise, treating my body properly and with respect, working with Vision boards and inspiration cards. I put my choices on paper, on my bedroom walls, on my computer desktop, everywhere! I make my choices KNOWN to my Self and the Universe. I have no fear anymore of great change, having made such a major one already in my life I know now that I can move through anything.

I choose every day how my day will be, how my interactions with others will be, how my Spirit will be.

I choose to invite and accept, to ask and receive, to trust and believe.

I choose to have and share. I choose abundance in every form it takes.

And so it is!

I like the idea that I can choose. It empowers instead of making one a victim. I realized that while I have already “chosen” to be successful, I was not actively controlling my thoughts. Knowing that I can control my destiny was putting pressure on me, leading me to feel overwhelmed and guilty/shame for not achieving more. That’s not really choosing.

This past week I have shifted the emphasis away from what actions I have done & not done (work) and more on the thoughts I hold. If negative thoughts come up, I am trying to imagine the opposite. So despite my circumstances I feel better and that is empowering.

What has helped me to hold positive thoughts about my future and release the guilt and fear about not getting more done in the past is the word REGARDLESS. Regardless of past delays, procrastination & failures– I can manifest prosperity.

What has helped me to release some of the pressure I was putting on myself is the thought that while I am responsible (with the power to choose), I am not in this alone. This is reflected in the quote …
You’re going to deliberately CHOOSE the sequence of thoughts until Law of Attraction can get hold of it and help you along and before you know it you are offering energy deliberately rather than by default.’ — Abraham-Hicks

Trying to balance the emotional part (thinking good thoughts) with the need to act. Does the work aspect get easier? Hmmm…. I choose to think that the action required from me to reach my goals (prosperity) will be easy and enjoyable.

Intellectual understanding is one thing; I’ve been there for years. Consistent applications is another. I’ve had amazing things happen: my house and my car, both perfect for me, materialized as if by magic (although some “fun and games” were involved along the way).

Yet, I have not been able to commit to this philosophy with my whole mind and heart. I keep being tempted by other areas of the “spectrum of consciousness.” Is the world an illusion? If so, how could this possibly work? Am I here to learn certain lessons by experiencing certain situations (including financial struggle)? If I’m meant to struggle for the lesson it teaches, can my thoughts actually change that?

As I write this, a new thought (a gift of the Universe?): Perhaps “the plan” was for me to come and learn my own power, struggling until I do. The illusive nature of the world is irrelevant, since it is real to me right now. Or perhaps this teaching is essential if I am to learn the power I have to create myself out of the illusion?

Thoughts are coming fast and furious. But this idea that learning to create with the power of attraction is my purpose in this life–that’s something I can work with.

Thank you!

I am struggling a bit with this quote stating that in order to be successful we must make a specific unequivocal decision that “I am not going to live like this anymore”. That statement to me comes from lack and goes against what we are taught by AH. I love the way I am living and have loved the way I have lived for a long time and don’t feel it is necessary to, in essence, make a decision to turn my back on the way I have been living to move forward. Of course, there is always room for expansion and improvement – that is one of the reasons I joined this experiment. I wake every morning looking forward to the day’s “challenge” and love the feeling it invokes.

So, I think one of my choices for today will be to modify today’s quote for my own purposes and simply focus on the part that I am “going to achieve (more) success”.

I choose to live every day to its fullest enjoying all that life has to give. I choose to understand that challenges that face me are actually opportunities. If I listen ot my inner guidance I will follow the path to make the most of these opportunities. I choose to open myself to others.
I choose to grow my business and enjoy the success that is sure to come.
I choose to listen to my body and give it the proper nutrients and exercise that it craves.
I choose to know that my every want and need will be taken care of in the manner best suited to me and in ways I might never expect.
I choose to continue to love this 30 day experiment and use it’s (and all of your) wonderful energies to feel the best I’ve ever felt.

‘I found every single successful person I’ve ever spoken to had a turning point and the turning point was where they made a clear specific unequivocal decision that they were not going to live like this anymore. That they were going to achieve success. And some people make that decision at 15 and some people make it at 50, and most people never make it at all.’ — Brian Tracy
What does this statement mean to you? We’d like to know.
To me, this statement is similar to yesterdays quote whereas, I had come to a point (turning point/Crossroads…) in my life where I had to make a decision that I will do what it takes to live a better quality of life & to achieve many more successes. And thru searching, I’ve found out what it takes and have put some things into practice… (And I continue to put even more things in practice). I’d already gathered that, it doesn’t matter what age you are when you come to this point… as long as you do it!
And, it makes me feel quite unique when Brian Tracy say’s that most people never make that decision at all. This particular statement (that most people never make that decision) also makes me feel that we – meaning: All of the individuals that are a part of this experiment now – have an advantage over other individuals because we are aware of the power that is within us and we are learning together, how to use it for the good of all.

And, with this idea of “Being the chooser” fresh in your mind, what are you choosing to create during the course of the 30-day experiment?
Why more prosperity of course! I choose to create an even bigger home in which my family and I will live…and put all of our already accumulated material abundance in. “If ye have faith, as a grain of mustard seed, nothing is impossible unto you.” Matthew 17:20

I experienced a major turning point about 14 years ago when I committed bringing the spiritual into my everyday life. The turning point brought me so many creative moments and many joyous friendships. It dropped out of my life for a short time and I felt this weekend that I was ready to step up again. I did by observing instead of reacting. What an up and down weekend filled with many things surfacing. The negative almost brought me back to old stuff BUT I stepped back for once. I am choosing to allow the loving, joyful, peacefulness, passion and harmony in my relationship with my fiancé and in every other part of my living experience. I choose to dissolve and let go of all anger reactions to any past patterns from my fiancé. I choose to trust the Divine Universal process and allow abundance and prosperity to appear in finances, creativity, inspiring communication and relationships. Thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts which inspire me and thank you God for all the abundant blessings in my life. And so it is.

What this statement means to me is that NOW is always a good turning point. I have had a few turning points, and I am in the midst of one right now. I intend to be a living example of being the ‘central force that determines what manifests in my life’. I am ready! Thank YOu all for your wisdom!

I agree with ConnieK above. I have a grand life which I love…a loving partner…a good job which my partner and I own….beautiful surroundings…lots of inner heatlh and strength which is growing all the time. …and don’t need to turn against anything out of lack in order to move forward. I have played this Prosperity Game for a couple of years now….each time it serves to show me how my definition of prosperity has changed. How my choices have changed. So, since today’s challenge is to clarify/affirm my choices at this moment, I woud say that I choose to continue on the ever changing path of inner strength and abundance, using this 30 day experiment to manifest a few delightful surprises along the way.

I just read Susans 12:08 post and I resonate with all that she stated.
I have created wonderful things, and yet there are some areas where my journey continues to be a bit of a struggle. I am clear that I am creating, and at the same time trying to remove all resistance from the fact that I seem to have created financial struggle, so much that it prevents me from sharing the beauty and gifts I want to share with the world. And yet I know that even though it seems to hamper me, it also feels as though it is also revealing a part of my purpose. I let go of the oars, and allow my boat to float down stream as Abraham says. I will remind myself to not even do the turning, just take my hands off the oars.

I am very excited about this 30day Prosperity Experiment and already I’m learing some new stuff. I’m answering pertinent questions that have been an eye opener. I feel like I am literally shifting on a deeper level as evidenced by the changes that are occuring in my life. Some of them I’m cool with others not so cool with but I understand that everything around me is conspiring for my good. I asked for it and as always the Universe has provided. I want to learn some “new” thought about prosperity and practice some new behaviors.

When I read today’s assignment I said oh that’s easy, of course I CHOOSE prosperity, happiness, peace, all the good things the comments before have said. But I guess the bigger question for me to ponder and answer is what does that look like in my life. What does the choice look like. It’s not enough for me to choose, I have to see the demonstration. I can say I choose prosperity on one hand and then demonstrate a belief in lack on the other. Can I get some feedback on that. Your experiences are greatly appreciated.

Everyday I have the opportunity to choose, by settng my intention in harmony or partnership with Spirit, then allowing my highest good to unfold. I’m choosing to prosper in all aspects of my life. I believe my turning point came when I retired from the public sector and became a full-time business owner. In doing so, I chose freedom, creativity and empowerment. I absolutely love it! Yet I know that choosing greater financial prosperity by healing, empowering and transforming others requires that I simplify, refine and focus my business offerings; then attracting my perfect clients and creatively sharing the wisdom I’ve gained to empower them to enrich their lives. Supporting them in making the right and percect choices for themselves, my goal is being accomplished.

as I read the posts, I feel like I resonate with everyone. I have been had some negative struggles lately, family, work, relationship and though I don’t focus on these things, it does bring me some sadness throughout the day. As I played the prosperity game, I didn’t “feel” the way I normally do and have just decided to act “as if” which has always worked in the past. As a chooser, I choose to be more consistant in my connection to the law of attraction, not picking and choosing. Just writing this out now and being here with all of you, helps me to see the prosperity and begin to feel it. In regards to the statement, there have been so many turning points I can look back at, so I know in my heart “the better it gets, the better it gets”. There is one last quote I heard from a dear friend this morning in yoga class “Your yoga begins now, and now, and now” Each moment can be a turning point, it is the true experience of life.

Thanks to these posts over the weekend, I don’t feel quite so alone in the challenges as well as the pluses.
CHoosing…there’s something important about that. Last night, “fighting” lack and confidence trust in myself, I listened to one of the older podcasts somewhere on here…and what occurs to me about choosing, is about the CLARITY.
Sometimes, in our darkest moments, we are more driven to clarify what we DO want, after wallowingin what we DONT want. We cry “ENough!”..and something begins to shift in that moment,…towards a higher vibration.
I wrote down a couple times, “I’ve decided to CHOOSE the sequence of thoughts until the Law of Attraction kicks in. Then I did the Abraham-Hicks excercise where you write down your current feeling, the feeling/state you WANT to have, then write TRUE statements and sit with them for 17 seconds, adding another though that moves closer to the wanted feeling/thoughts.
WHat I discovred, it was all about self-trust…and I HAVE had more experieince with it in the last year. Suddenly, I was NO LONGER feeling depressed.
I woke this am, I completed an assignment for a job interview, comfortabley called until I found someone who could review it for me, and sent it ahead of the deadline. And I liked what I submitted.
This after a weekend of panic and calm. NOw, I also used EFT for the fear of failure coming up, from a memory in university of failing a calculus course that changed the direction of my university life.
Hey ! The TOOLS that kicked in once I decided to CHOOSE the sequence of thoughts until the law of atttraction kicked in.
Fabulous, thanks for the support.

Today, I decide to be the “Chooser” in my life. Unequivocally. To me, this means no more excuses, period. I am deciding to choose thoughts that bring me into alignment with my highest and best Self. By being in alignment with who I really am, my “dream” life will manifest. Perfect health, loving and healthy relationships, satisfying and financially fulfilling career, and everything else that I desire. I choose, today, change the thought “loops” in my mind and get off the negative thought cycle. I choose to have fun, to play, to laugh, and to be happy now instead of later.

There’s something very powerful for me about hearing that someone else — even if it were just one person — has done it – decided to be successful. I can do that. My energy has been building for years, and I finally feel that I’m at the turning point — the point of being done with this mediocrity. I can choose to be successful, and my energy of being ‘done’ translates to being ‘ready’ for more…. more joy, more vitality, more prosperity, more service, more generosity, more beauty, more spirit, more love. I CHOOSE THIS. I’m ready. Thank you, Elyse, for providing the forum, the quote, the sheer magic of your work.

September 21, 2009
“Money is the visible sign of a universal force, and this force in its manifestation on earth works on the vital and physical planes and is indispensable to the fullness of the outer life. In its origin and its true action it belongs to the Divine.” ~ Sri Aurobindo

This is a completely different perspective on money for me. I think of money as a man-made mechanism for exchanging things of value between people. I consider it an ancient device that became corrupted through the ages by greedy men (yes, I blame the male gender) and is today a symbol of everything unfair and out of balance in our western society.
This quote suggests that money is a manifestation of a universal force and, for me, that changes what money is completely.
Universal forces include love and I suppose if I had to choose which universal force might be represented by money, it would be appreciation.
This means that one component of prosperity for me is to manifest appreciation and acknowledge appreciation in my life for the person I am and things I do. That’s a whole different ball of wax than getting paid for my work.

“You do have to reach this place where you decide YOU’RE going to choose. And when you decide YOU’RE going to choose, what that means is YOU’RE going to start directing your thought. YOU are going to start setting energy in motion. You’re going to deliberately CHOOSE the sequence of thoughts until Law of Attraction can get hold of it and help you along and before you know it you are offering energy deliberately rather than by default.” — Abraham-Hicks

‘I found every single successful person I’ve ever spoken to had a turning point and the turning point was where they made a clear specific unequivocal decision that they were not going to live like this anymore. That they were going to achieve success. And some people make that decision at 15 and some people make it at 50, and most people never make it at all.’ — Brian Tracy

I’m 50 and this quote reminds me of a movie or TV phrase that was, “We’re not going to take it anymore.” I am feeling this way these days. I’ve had enough; I don’t want to live like this anymore. I want freedom from anxiety, worry, small mindedness and lack – all the things that come from feeling like I’m just hanging on in this fast-paced and expensive society that I live within. I really want to live “dancing naked with the pixies” as a vision that came to me in a recent meditation. It represents that feeling that I can be happy, secure and free to enjoy life and I remember it from my youth.

What are you choosing to create during the course of the 30-day experiment? I choose to create a broader stream of income sources, more fun in my work and an expanded network of like-minded individuals that I can journey with toward prosperity.
This is what I choose for my future.

I”m presently listening to the personal coaching session on our unique definintion of prosperity. I’ve taken notes and I’ve written down “it’s all about grace and ease, when there is a flow, when I step out of the struggle into the flow….spae and time for self-care, quiet reflective time, space for creating time. I have an abundance of all resources in my life….feeling spontaneiou and energized, no drag on my emotions…feeling of fear prosperity lessons, with confidence then you feel prosperous…we can change our feelings by our words which reinforces in our hearts…the ability to do what you need to do in the time when you need it…to have a solid trust in the universe. I resonate with all of the above…I have been decideing to be the “Chooser” for several years now…but like in all yoga practice…I weave on the path….Perhaps a turning point was several years ago when I retired from the school district and continued and pursued my own educational practice and consultant work with a reading foundation. I made a clear, focused intention to be able to achieve a certain income…I articulated that I would/could go beyond my old past set point…and I immersed myself in the practice of reading inspirational work, including the Law of Atrraction work, this prosperity work, and I did my practice of journaling and conscious alertness. And it has worked. This is a yoga practice which requires “keeping up”. It’s a daily, daily practice.

We are the creators of our life, I do realize now that I am very powerful and that I am in charge of my experiences. I choose to be healthy, I choose to give and receive love, I choose to be abundant, I choose to have prosperity and I choose to be happy.

I used to be afraid to choose because I didn’t think I deserved.
Then I used to be afraid to choose because I had no idea what I wanted.
Still I was afraid to choose because I didn’t know how to ask.
Even still I was afraid to choose because I might get what I asked for.
Today, I am excited to choose to be the chooser.

After reading all the comments from all these wonderful spirits, I find I resonate with most everyone in some
way. Like some others, I have been conciously choosing for a long time now. That doesn’t mean I have been
successful in all areas or that I remember to consiously choose all the time. I created 2 fantastic restaurants
that prospered for 18 years before we sold. I can still remember the day I sat looking at the restaurant I wanted
and stating to the Universe that I would have this or better. These were more than just a place to eat. They
brought many, many people together in more wonderful ways than can be counted. My wonderful partner and
I created and built the home of our dreams (our forever home, to borrow a term from dog rescue) with 20
acres to grow on. Every day I experience wonderful things happening too many to count. I know all of this
intellectually, but even so find myself falling into the same pitfalls so many of us do. For example, we had
very prosperous businesses but kept creating financial problems (severe problems) to the point that our
beautiful house is in forclosure. Obviously, this is one of the things I choose to change during this experiment.
It seems I have little trouble creating my desired life except in the area where money is concerned.
I am discovering many things about my ideas about money that have been holding me back. So, all the ideas
about choosing and turning points come at the right time (big suprise?) There have actually been several
turning points in my life, each leading to better understanding. But its interesting to me how, knowing what we
do, we can still slip back so easily into old habits that hold us back. We made a huge turning point when we
decided to sell the restaurants. This leaves us with only his social security to pay all our debt with. But I have
always believed that when one door closes another better one opens. So I trust the Universe will bring us the
opportunities we need to keep everything moving forward.
I have discovered one stumbling block I didn’t know I had. It appears that I have been believing that my
partners thoughts and beliefs can keep me from having the prosperity and abundance I desire. I have decided
that this can’t be true if I am the one choosing. I should be able to choose prosperity and abundance for
myself and if he wants to come along (so to speak), so be it. Any feedback on the thought would be
appreciated.
So central issue to me seems to be that there is a turning point in each of our lives when we consciously
choose to change our lives through the choices we make and the thoughts we think. Our lives do not have
to be coming from lack to desire change. We are ever expanding and experiencing life. This can be the
driving force for change also, not just lack. We must be conscious of the thoughts we have and choices we
make. We must continually recognize the thoughts and choices that do not lead us to our desired goals and
be able to change them. I used to beat myself up about all the negative thoughts that popped into my head.
Then I read a statement, I don’t even remember where, “You can’t control first thought, but you can change it”
That to me was powerful. So when negative thoughts popped up, I caught them, thanked them, and then
changed them to something positive. I quit beating myself up for having them, I just changed them. Guess
what? I am finding that as I do this, even my first thoughts are changing and becoming more positive.
Do I resonate with these statements by Abraham-Hicks and Brian Tracy? Absolutely! And it feels Wonderful
reading them.
So, Universe, here are the things I am choosing to create:
~Prosperity and abundance, of course, in all things.
~A way to save our home from foreclosure (looks like this may already be on the way)
~A prosperous business at home, so we don’t have to go back to work for someone else.
~The money to start our 10 acre self sufficient farm project and school
to help others learn how to help take care of the earth
~A commercial greenhouse
~A shop for Jim
~Financial freedom, so I have enough to do all the things I desire
~Health, peace, freedom, joy, love, generosity.
I know this is a bit long. Thank you for the opportunity to voice our feelings
I a so grateful to all of this and everyone.

For the past two days I have tried to avoid this challenge of choosing. When I saw it was the main theme for this week well I was not happy. It is a major one So today I gave it some time and thought and in an ah ah moment relized that I was a puppet on a string for everyone in my life. That is a major revelation to me and now with your tremendous support I can shift that thought pattern.
The truth hurts and I can freely say it was of my own making. It is quite possible that I have lived my life as a people pleaser everything I have done would be looking for approval.
This is a big moment in my life right now as I write this truth to myself.
I awoke this morning and asked what I would buy with my cheque a nice new car was the answer. I forgot to spend my cheque and only thought of the car now. That was how troublesome this challenge is for me.
For these 30 days
I ask for a better quality of life with sound strong foundations
I choose to continue to working this fabalous program WITH all you wonderful people
I choose to have a better relationship with God and the universe
I choose to live a well balanced life , emotionally spiritually and have health
in mind body and spirit
I choose to allow myself enjoy and get to know myself better
I choose to open myself to being able to receive
Love
Health
Thanks
Respect
Happiness
Well-being
Energy
Playfullness
Tranquality
Relaxationship
Prosperity and abundance
into my life each and every day
I choose to have a good and healthy relationship with money
I choose to grow and develope clarity in my daily life
I choose to say learn to say a gentle no or let me think about it senartrio
I choose to be in charge and take responsibility for my life.
Thank you one and all. Amen
Maxine your poem on money is great and sums my own felling. Thank you for writting and sharing. God Bless you all

Hi everyone, I am here to tell you that I choose to be a chooser. What this means to me is that I choose to study, I choose to finish what I’ve started, I choose to be a big succes, I choose for my life.

Thank you God for making me choose! I am going to make it happen.

May God bless you all! I pray and ask him to make all your wishes come true.

This is my opportunity to create tangible results in my life. For example, loving healthy families, deeper intimacy in current relationships, long-term committed partnerships, supporting my community and contributing to the enrichment of society, growth and management of personal finances and career, and an overall sense of living with excitement, intention and passion. I want to open my world up, to choose, and harness my inner power to make an impact. As a result, I will make intentional and empowered choices to be in action toward achieving my vision. I get to look and see what I choose to create, to declare my vision. and stand confidently in making that vision a reality!

I am thrilled to see such honesty in some of the posts. I, too, have been struggling with personal issues as of late and am using this experiment to pull myself up by the proverbial bootstraps. We all have the understanding, it’s the consistent application of these principles that’s the challenge and hence, maybe why some people never make those decisions to change at all.

It’s a bit of a challenge to keep going when the only evidence you can point to is the opposite of what you’re trying to create. Lessons abound but can bind you up for a while. I question whether deliberate creation can be as easy as Abraham says because, in my experience, it hasn’t been. It’s difficult to erase “what is” for the pipe dream of what could be. Besides our minds are so limited in terms of what we are capable of. Only our higher self really knows our endless possibilities.

I “got” the concept of choosing the way I want my life to be about 6 years ago and have been perfecting it ever since. For me, prosperity is not just about money. It’s about abundance and goodness in my life and the money continues to flow. Just today I decided to check the price of a stock that I own. I hadn’t looked at it in about 3 weeks. It had more than doubled, so I sold off my initial investment and made about $3000!!

I am at the point where I am choosing to change the financial aspects of my life for good. For years I have been swinging from one end of the scale to the other – it has been chicken one day and feathers the next meaning at times I have enjoyed having plenty of money and at others times been flat broke! Through Abraham’s teachings I have seen how I manifest these wild swings. I am now choosing to have the balance of a large and steady income. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to come together as one mind and manifest our hearts desires!

I am choosing to have as much faith (OR MORE) in my own opinions as I do in the opinions offered by others–this covers everything from wine/restaurant reviews to choosing a political candidate!

As an extension of that sentiment, I am choosing to make decisions about my career and life based on what I feel and what I know to be true from my own experience, and based on what my own intuition is telling me.

I think that especially for young women it can be confusing finding direction in life because family members, colleagues, husbands, etc, can all be very confident about what they think is best for you, and because they mean well and speak with authority it can be hard to evaluate their counsel.

But it’s an important skill to learn, and I am choosing not to waste any more of my precious hours doing work that I don’t love!

I’ve recently watched my best reach that turning point. As terrifying as it was, she did decided not to live like she had been for most of her life. Up until then, we’d led fairly parallel lives but now I feel so far away from her. I’m thrilled for her that she’s taken charge of her life, but there have been great losses in it, too. I think I’m terrified to leap off that same cliff because of what I may lose/leave behind. I have a good life now, but I want to be happier, I want to be a better wife and parent. I want friendships that are meaningful and fulfilling. I want work that is meaningful and fulfilling, too! I want fitness of mind, body and spirit. But do I need to make that choice to leap in order to achieve success? I’m working on it all, but I know I’m still stuck, mired in years of self-doubt and self-sabotage. Am I ready to change those things? If I let go of those negative habits, will I lose any of the good? Or will I just be moving towards something better – my true self and my true life? Will it help me achieve equilibrium or will letting go of the negatives unbalance me completely?

I want that moment in the quote, that clear decision to choose success. I keep waiting for that turning point and I want it, but I’m not sure I’m ready yet. So how do I get there? How do I become ready? Hmm…I think I’m on to something here…what will I choose to create during this 30-day experiment?

I choose to create that moment of clarity for myself, to look towards all that I want and move myself decisively towards it. By choosing to be ready for that moment and choosing to create it with my whole heart, I know I’ll clear the blockages and allow myself to freely enjoy all that life has waiting for me. I can choose to lose the bad and find room for the good – and to keep attracting more and more and more good.

Thank you to all of you who are sharing your stories and thoughts on this blog. You are keeping me focused on what I want and you are putting into words things that I haven’t yet been able to. With all this positive energy out there, everything we want is possible; I’m proud to be part of this.

‘I found every single successful person I’ve ever spoken to had a turning point and the turning point was where they made a clear specific unequivocal decision that they were not going to live like this anymore. That they were going to achieve success. And some people make that decision at 15 and some people make it at 50, and most people never make it at all.’ — Brian Tracy

This last week has been a whirlwind of emotion, a love fest, a deep digging adventure and a whole heep of synchronicity. I was having a conversation earlier today with my co -workers about this exact topic today..I told them how everyday in my gratitude journal I write how grateful I am that I spend 9 hours a day surrounded by three other people who are at a point in their lives where they are making the decision to be the best possible person they can be…How rare, I said, but my reality is that I am surrounded by it, and I love it, and I am so so so appreciative for it…Its so exciting!!!!
For me this thirty days is a commitment to being the best me possible…To becoming clear about what I want…Its about staying alive in the present moment and enjoying it to its fullest…To making this habit and sticking to it for the rest of my life…Its for being the best me and knowing the best way to be of value to the world is by being the most true and pure form of myself…Here I am pure, free and unafraid to give myself entirely to the betterment of all… And so it is…

Thank you again for these 30 days. To commit for me lies on the newer side, so I am feeling proud of sticking with this. I’ve also been doing the Creativity workshop with Julia Cameron – from her book. So both exercises have me uncovering and rediscovering my power and my freedom to choose.

I’ve had several times in my life when I felt so unhappy, or lost, or frustrated, and made the active decision for something better – for relief – to surrender. Sometimes I was successful, and sometimes it was 2 steps forward, and one step back. These past couple of years, and especially in recent months, I’m moving in leaps and bounds. I am training myself to choose, to take responsibility for my thoughts, to direct them sometimes specifically, other times just towards gratitude & appreciation.

Already, I’ve witnessed a huge letting go of a limitation – this weekend – and I’m moving forward in an area of my life that feels completely natural. I do find, though, that sometimes a strong feeling of grief can rise up – for the person I was who didn’t know I had the power to choose, to change my life. And it’s devastating to realize I had the power all along and didn’t use it. But then, as I’m not one to regret, I wallow only for a short time, and then tell myself that without feeling voiceless, powerless, or blocked, I wouldn’t be experiencing this feeling now – like I’m ridin’ down the runway, just about to take off.

The things I’m choosing to create now are:

more & better friend relationships
ongoing gratitude for how beautiful my life is
awareness of how I’m feeling guided, and the courage to listen & act on it
an embrace of my true nature
a safe, secure, and loving home in a peaceful and vibrant neighborhood
opportunities for more prosperity
connections with like-minded creatives and positive people
an openness to money coming from both traditional and unexpected sources
planting the seeds of my love life
trust in myself and the divine
courage to find my voice and say what only I can say, offer up my own unique perspective and contribution to the world.

Thank you again for this forum to share with each other.
Bless all of you.

I am choosing to be the “chooser”

— today was a day of feeling very out of sorts — I needed to react to everything — yet it was as though I was watching myself do the reacting — I told my friend that I must be having retroactive PMS — I had not felt this way in many years — and looking at it , the watching was an amazing shift —
so I am grateful and feel blessed that I am changing

I choose to be a success and stay in the vision of changing my life to being a voice of change for the better and being in a community of like minded souls, and living life to the fullest each day

Blessings to all !

Truth be told-I guess that I haven’t made the decision yet to be The Chooser. Am I not fed up enough? Too fearful? To overwhelmed? Too lonely? Too WHAT??!!! Must I sink lower? Why do I wait until I am out of options?

No decision = Decision
I know that! I make the choice or someone/something else does.

Today’s message from Marianne Williamson says:
The perfect navigational system is in me.
Pray-
Where would You have me go?
What would You have me do?
What would You have me say?
and…To whom?
Moment by moment it will be revealed.
SSSHHHHH, Mary! Listen!!

I choose Love.
I choose Joy.
I choose to be awake in every moment.
I choose to be abundant and prosperous in every level.
I choose meaningful work.
I choose prosperity in the form of money.
I choose a loving, spiritual, mature, hot relationship with my husband.
I choose to be creative and inspired.
I choose to be the embodiment of the Divine on Earth.
I choose to serve in any way the Universe guide me to serve.
I choose a rich, full life.
I choose a healthy, vibrant, flexible, strong, light body.
I choose God.

I wonder if this my “turning point”. I want it to be. I truly desire it to be.
The quote by Brian Tracy is reassuring: “some people make that decision at 15. and some people make it at 50″. It’s not too late. It’s never too late. I can take control of what my life is.
The fact that the choice is always there somehow compels me to make it. No excuses.
But “the turning point” can only be measured or proven, surely, by the evidence that manifests in reality.

I am already aware, however, of gaining new clarity on how to create a shift in attitude to my life and create a ‘feeling’ of prosperity even if my external circumstances have not yet shifted.
Well, the shift may be momentary and I still need to remember to do do it, but that’s a start.

You do have to reach this place where you decide YOU’RE going to choose. And when you decide YOU’RE going to choose, what that means is YOU’RE going to start directing your thought. YOU are going to start setting energy in motion. You’re going to deliberately CHOOSE the sequence of thoughts until Law of Attraction can get hold of it and help you along and before you know it you are offering energy deliberately rather than by default.’ — Abraham-Hicks

I’ve often heard it said that nothing changes until you make a definite decision, meaning when your intention is clear. This quote suggests to me that only when the realization dawns on us that we are the ones who are truly responsibile for our experiences as a result of the choices which we make, that we set the right energy in motion.

Understanding that we have the power to choose and hence direct the course of our lives is an awesome responsibility. The idea that we can be deliberate creators of the good we desire by consciously directing our thought and holding to that which is positive is often difficult to grasp. But that is the realization we all need to arrive at sometime in our lives.

I know I will have to exercise the mental discipline to remain more focussed; to be be more consciously aware of my feelings/vibrations, to live in the moment these are clues to the nature of my thoughts.

What am I choosing to create over next 30 days

I am choosing to become more fully aware that prosperity is an inside-out process so over the next 30 days I working to achieve a prosperity mindset / consciousness or to come into energetic alignment with my desires so I can attract my vision of prosperity which includes all areas of my life: physical, financial, spiritual, relational.
I understand that prosperity is not something you chase, but rather something you attract by having the right mindset.

;

It’s true that every person who has succes has chosen succes but it seems easier for someone to make this choice. My path is a long and sinuous one. I continue with persistence because growth is not a linear way.

For the present 30 days of experiment, I want to create more self-confidence and well-being. I choose to expand the vision of succes I have for me and my life, in all areas.

To me, this statement means that we all make a decision at some point to live life differently. Some of us may be lucky enough to be born with it and automatically do it. Or it could be one specific moment where you say, “This is it. I’ve had enough. And I’m going to do things differently now,” or it could be a process where bit by bit you make changes and realize that things can be different more slowly. Regardless, you make the choice to live life differently and more positively and then your life begins to live itself differently as well. I’m choosing to create the same things I said in the beginning, an overall abundance of prosperity as it relates to love, money, material possessions, adventure, travel, a career I’m passionate about, and anything else that demonstrates the prosperity of the universe.

What does this statement mean to you?

That’s speaks so loudly to me right now because I decided to embark on a year-long program to look at why my life was not working and to make a commitment to do whatever it takes to create the life I desire. Basically, I’m taking a stand for myself, finally, with no excuses or reasons or moods getting in the way of my progress and success. I am at that turning point right now. I must make myself the ultimate source of the choices and decisions I make; I am tired of bowing to circumstances shaping my life. I’m taking it back!

And, with this idea of “Being the chooser” fresh in your mind, what are you choosing to create during the course of the 30-day experiment?

I am choosing to create a better relationship with myself and the Universe because through these relationships can I really make changes within myself. It’s about loving myself more, meeting my needs; trusting that the Universe is always for me, not against me; and staying in the vibration of plenty, flow, ease and grace no matter what’s going on around me. It’s the practices of prayer and meditation and because keenly aware of my feelings and what I am generating. And as a result, I am looking to manifest a new career, more money from new streams of income, and a structure of managing my money. Yahoo!

What does this statement mean to you? We’d like to know.

And, with this idea of “Being the chooser” fresh in your mind, what are you choosing to create during the course of the 30-day experiment?

I have to copy what we are focusing on so I can look at it while commenting or I forget.

For me the statement is all about owning your life. Taking responsibility for who and what you are. The struggle I have is that every time I try to get clear about who I am and what it is I desire I get distracted. This particular exercise must scare the **** out of my EGO.

I would love to create an opportunity during this next 30 days to be able to stay home with my family (aka kids) and still have an income (from home) to contribute for us to stay financially solvent. I want to create the ability to be able to be totally active in my kids activities and enjoy my family to the fullest while making an income from home instead of going to work outside of my home.

Small steps have been happening with prosperity since we started this experiment. Things like not having to pay for our medicine for the rest of the year (reached our CAP) and finding better cost effective solutions to things like school pictures (can save money by having them done at Walmart instead of through the school). I am looking forward to larger scale items and keeping an open mind, but am quite happy with the smaller items as well.

I reached that point about four days ago. Even though I have changed my thinking greatly for the better in the last couple of years, in recent times I became a full time student as well as running a family and household. As a result I slipped imperceptibly into being in a far less positive state of mind for the first half of this year. It is sobering to witness LOA bringing me some very unsettling experiences last month. It really brought home to me how important it is to clean up our vibration on a regular basis, instead of waiting for a more conducive time “to get back to it.” Doing this experiment has helped me to keep my focus on a good outcome for the recent challenges and continues to assist me in raising my vibration, for which I am exceedingly grateful!

What I am choosing to create during this experiment is the resolve needed to keep my committments to myself which include :
Being centredness, being calm, being connectedness, being confidence, remembering what is important and what isn’t, ie not sweating the small stuff, being healthy, alert and focused only on what I desire to create.
Caring not what anyone else thinks of me, always tending to my vibration and putting in place the actions I need to live in this way. These are some of the points on my list.

l am so excited to deliberately choose to love and approve of myself
to have an open heart full of love and joy and happiness to feel alive and freee and energised to be and do all that l choose which is live healthy happy joyfully, fully in the moment of love and pure enjoyment of everyday things the litte and the big the magic and the miracles that l see and appreciate in this delightful universe

I choose to have authenticity in my life and my relationships. I choose awareness and I choose to be direct and clear in my communication and being – about what I want and don’t want and what I feel.

Even when I miss chances to be authentic or aware or direct I will be happy if I catch them later or catch them most of the time and especially if I can take action to make up for any missed opportunities.

I also choose to be gentle with myself, to be patient with myself, to love myself. I choose to be curious, to wonder, to explore, to open myslef to possibility and prosperity.

Wow, Yes being the chooser means for me Chjoose to be aware, awate of all my thoughts and with this new awaremness I know I can choose over and over again. Choose my thought carefully, becausde tyhoiughts become things..

Being the choser means making a conscious effort in choosing…Being a choser means not settling for comfort zone nor habit to guide the way…It means stand up and and take a stand…period.

Choosing to me means being the deliberate creator of the life I want to live. I get to decide what kind of life I live and I choose to make a GREAT one! It means that I will be true to myself and be more connected to my source energy.

Choosing to me means I get to decide where I direct my thoughts and I deliberately decide to focus on the positive, powerful, uplifting.

Here is a recent example of what happened when I made a choice to know that “all is well”. My car was getting very low on gas and I would need to stop at a gas station and get gas, or not use my car until payday. I had a very important job to do the next day so I needed transportation. I could have focused on the fact I had limited gas, and no way to get more, and how was I going to get to this job I had to do, but instead – I knew all would be well and I simply thought about how great it was going to feel when I filled up my tank. I knew I would find some way of transportation and I gave no thought or worry to how things were going to work out. In essence, I just let it go. That night, a friend of mine unexpectedly handed me $10 that she owed me while we were talking. It felt like the universe (God) said, you had faith all would be well, and here is the sign that it is. This will get you through. This just confirmed my knowing that all is well!

Simply put, I’m choosing to change the direction of my life. I’m choosing to change the flow from the inside out instead of allowing the outside events to be absorbed in me. To get control over my feelings and thoughts and life instead of allowing events occurring around me to keep me held down. I’m choosing freedom, release and deliberate control of attracting. I’m choosing to change my thoughts and thus my life…

This quote represents where I am in my life. I am at a point in my life where I realize in order to be successful I need to make a decision to live a better life. I must release the fear and replace it with confidence, I have to change my mindset, the tools and people are in place I just need to act. This is in algnment with what I am working towards. I am choosing to create a life filled with an unlimited amount of abundance of prosperity by participating in this experiment.

Language, I am learning has so much to do with how we feel and what we manifest. I believe that cliche we have all heard: when the student is ready the teacher will appear. In these exercises I see myself as that student eager and willing to learn. In the process I have realized that I have attracted this experience at the exact right time in my life. And that my evolution as an abundant soul is emerging everyday just by thinking, feeling and taking action and commenting on this blog.

Today I choose to be present in the awareness of my thoughts and desires and I choose creative thoughts and desires that keeps me uplifted in the consciousness of the Divine unlimited supply of abundance and prosperity.

I choose to think and live unlimited possibilities.
I choose financial success and abundance of over 5 million dollars.
I choose successful loving congruent relationships with myself, with family/friends/people/all living beings, and nature/earth.
I choose radiant health in body mind and spirit
I choose to be forgiving
I choose to be internally confident and joyful
I AM LOVE- breath Love, feel Love, think Love..just Love!
