How Your Inner Being Tells You The Good Things | Abraham Hicks [GREAT]

Me, Myself and Id (By Sherry Lynn Daniel)

Recently, I posted a picture of myself from the past. One person sent me a message saying if she has to keep looking at me showing off, she'll 'un-friend' me. It stung.I pulled the pic immediately. No one understands downplaying success or talent more than me. I'm really good at it.

I have been 'playing small' for years. I have been practicing it for as long as I can remember-not shining too bright, not taking up space, not being too big, not being full of myself, staying humble, little, knowing my place and making sure people don't feel slighted due to my achievements.

Today, I'm dropping those concepts. It is fine to celebrate oneself at least as much as feeling proud about others. When I first entered the arena of social media, I rarely posted selfies or talked about my life. I didn't want to risk people thinking I was self-absorbed.

Finally. FINALLY. I get it. We can only love or admire others to the extent we are able to risk being proud of ourselves. It was a slow transition-one that brought out some of my best writing and true self. It takes a lot of 'likes' or lack thereof to understand that it doesn't matter what people think. It really doesn't.

Self love involves bravery. Posting selfies is hard at first and then it gets easier:this is me, this is my world. If another believes I am too full of myself, it's not really my problem. May we all be too full of ourselves sometimes because being invisible isn't good for the sense of self either.

Good things happen to all of us. The inner voice that says don't post your world, don't shine too bright needs to be silenced every so often. Being humble is both a blessing and a curse.

Once upon a time, I was a beauty queen for a year. Irving, Texas was on the banner across my chest when I went to San Antonio to compete for the Miss Texas crown in the mid-eighties. I hid it for years thinking that pageant contestants were sometimes discounted and cast aside as arm candy.

Since I have crossed the half century mark and time has become more meaningful, I choose to celebrate all the wild and wonderful happenings of this life. As more unfold and I possibly get a book deal, I hope I keep the attitude that we are all worthy of the spotlight every now and then.

Why Good Things Come When You Least Expect Them

Have you noticed that good things happen in your life unexpectedly? Great benefits are gained when you have stopped striving toward a goal, and you are no longer thinking about something that you put great effort into attempting to achieve previously. Your experience is not unusual, since good things often come at times when people have forgotten about the need to obtain the things they want.

Those aha moments that you experience also materialize when you are busily engaged in an unrelated activity. You might be making your bed or walking your dog when you suddenly know how to solve a problem that has been on your mind in the past. At such a time, having the answer to your dilemma at your fingertips feels surprising, since you have been engrossed in a separate task and had not given a thought to the issue you have just solved. In a similar manner, writers and artists often find that they form their greatest ideas when they are daydreaming

When you work with the Law Of Attraction, you might formulate a goal, or intention, and imagine giving it to the universe to manage. However, if you carry on focusing on your intention by means of striving and struggling, the universe will send you more opportunities to continue toiling. Focus on your intention, hand it to the eternal energy of the universe to contemplate entirely by ceasing to concentrate on the matter, and the opposite will happen. You will have stopped the experience of wanting; therefore, you will have automatically placed yourself in a better position to receive.

There will be times when you have focused on attracting a wonderful relationship, job, money, or good health, and you have been distracted. Just like those aha moments when ideas and solutions have entered your mind unexpectedly, you suddenly received what you wanted. You might describe the situation to your friends as ironic, since you had let go of the idea of achieving your aim when you hit your target.

Situations where the universe seems unresponsive to people’s wishes, despite them trying to attract results, occur due to the thoughts and energy created. If you are desperate to have something, you are in a state of need. Thus, you remain needy instead of becoming successful. The universe receives your needy energy, and politely sends you more needy energy, since it is programmed to deliver your primary focus.

Good things happen when you are not experiencing the energy of need. Your life might still be enhanced greatly when you receive gifts from the universe, and in this sense, you require what you obtain. However, you are not urgently crying out for a result when it occurs.

If you want to make attraction work for you, focus on your intentions. Nonetheless, recognize that you also need to throw the energy of want that you have created to the wind. When you have done so, good things will blow into your life.
