"You have been oriented that you must pay a price in order to get somewhere, and in the process, you’ve come to believe that getting there must be really important, therefore, it must be your purpose. And we say, but if you’re not getting to joy, then you’ve gotten nowhere. Joy is really where you’re going." Abraham

Life is a never ending cycle of arriving, then desiring, then arriving again, but if we do not factor in joy, then the alternative is struggle, and life was never meant to be a struggle. What gives you joy and pleasure? If nothing too much is feeding that right now, then reach for something, even if a memory, that kindles joy and stay there as long as you can. This process seems to infect our whole journey and everything looks brighter. Reach for things to appreciate and then consciously be aware of even the slightest glimmering of joy, for this is our very purpose. The Universe is not founded on struggle and pain, providing us with hoops through which to jump in order to satisfy some standard we don't even understanding. It is founded on joy.

Fish or...

"Take the worthiness that is yours, and let the "Fairies of the Universe" assist you. Stop taking so much responsibility upon yourself, and live happily ever after. Shorten that crevasse between where you are and where you want to be, on every subject, to now, now, now, now, now. Ride the wave. Just pluck the fruit... You don't have to be the one who puts it in the ground any more. You can just skip across the top of things and pluck the fruit of all of the things you want. "Oh, fruit. Oh, delicious this, delicious this, delicious this, delicious this." In other words, it's all right there for you; it's ready for you to receive it as fast and as soon as you will vibrationally let it in." Abraham

But, there isn't gain without pain. And, no one who doesn't put their shoulder to the wheel is deserving of what another has already done through their blood, sweat and tears. Or, "You can just skip across the top of things and pluck the fruit of all of the things you want." The pain and sweat philosophy was brought forth by people who were trying to explain why things seemed to be so very difficult for the majority of people, and others throughout the years have simply bought into it, but if what Abraham says is true, it is a faulty premise and infects all future reasoning, and if elevated to the realm of truth within us, then it becomes the criterion for all practice and expectation...and we are left very diminished. There is no lack in the Universe, and the story we need to tell is that everything always works out for us. Counter every statement within yourself with that recognition and realize that as you come from worthiness and focused alignment, life and all that you desire will come into your world. Fan the flame of what you want to do, be and have, not anything else unless you want someone's vibrational energies...someone who might come from fear, or at least ignorance of the Law, to be your foundation. Fish or cut bait!

Everything is All Right

"If you knew everything was really all right, and that it always has a happy ending, then you would not feel trepidations about your future. Everything is really so very all right! If you could believe and trust that, then, immediately everything would automatically and instantly become all right." -- Abraham

If our attention is drawn to things happening in government as well as elsewhere that initially give us cause to label them as "certainly not all right," then what is happening is this pronouncement is also woven into the fabric of our very personal world as a part of the vibratory signature we are offering to the Universe to be filled, and it will search out for circumstances and events that won't be all right for us to obviously enjoy, or why would we have sent out the signal for them in the first place... Instead let's fan the flame of regardless of what is happening anywhere, that everything is always working out for us. That also carries a vibratory signature but its corollaries are far more to our pleasing as they are drawn into our experience.

The Process of Life

"You’re always, always, always going to be on your way to something more—always. And when you relax and accept that, and stop beating up on yourself for not being someplace that you’re not, and instead, start embracing where you are while you keep your eye on where you’re going—now life becomes really, really, really fun." (Abraham)

We may have said it another way, "Keep your eye on the doughnut and not the hole." If we find ourselves where we truly do not want to be, be it a relationship, a financial state, an environment or even a body that isn't working to the extent we want it to, the way into something better is to do first the almost unthinkable, embrace where we, meaning to acknowledge that we are where we are...I am where I am...and then from this more stable platform than rejection might give, to keep our eye focused upon where we want to go, what we want to do, be and have. Speak often, at least to yourself this new outline for life: It will be so wonderful when... I will feel so fulfilled when xxx happens. This, then, becomes the new menu from which we can make choices, and the Law of Attraction now has this to work on rather than the pronouncement that what is, sucks.
