WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING.


GOT THIS IN AN EMAIL AND THOUGHT I WOUDL SHARE:
It kinda goes along with the "choices" aspect of the law of attraction. You make choices in EVERYTHING and those choices effect you and the things and people around you. So for the following.... When you are finding it hard to make the good choices even just in thoughts think of your children and or loved ones and what choice you would want them to make. I am sure it will always be the posative of the the choices. Go forth and be merry!!!!


A message every adult should read because children
Are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my
First painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately
Wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a
Stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind
To animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my
Favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little
Things can be the special things in life.

When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a
Prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always
Talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a
Meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I
Learned that we all have to help take care of each other.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care
Of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have
To take care of what we are given.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you
Handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't
Feel good, and I learned that I would have to be
Responsible when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come
From your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things
Hurt, but it's all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw that you
Cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.

When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of
life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and
Productive person when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and
Wanted to say,'Thanks for all the things I saw when
You thought I wasn't looking.'

Nice Story

I recived this in an email, more then once actually, I think its cute everytime I read it. It makes us think we really should be gratful for the things we have and how nice it is to pass on happiness

Change Your Thinking

It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.



One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.

His bed was next to the room's only window.






The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.






The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation..






Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.






The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.







The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.

Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.







As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.






Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.






Days, weeks and months passed.





One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.

She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.






As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

0A

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.

He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.






It faced a blank wall.






The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.







The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.





She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.'









Epilogue:






There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.






Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.







If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.







'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present .'

WUV TWU WUV



One of my favorite movies of all time is The Princess Bride, Buttercup & Wesley have such a perfect romance and even in the face of much adversary, love conquers all. Some wonder does such true love really exist and how do they get it. And the law of attraction does play some role in having it. Most people including me have been jaded in some way or another and that often makes it difficult to accept true love or any kind of love at all. Which you have to be willing to accept that you can have the love you truly want if you accept it, & get over and not dwell on the past negative relationship.Another favorite movie of mine is The Wedding Date and the "date" tells the girl who hires him that "every woman has the exact relationship that she wants" in which she looks at him like he is crazy and argues the point, but by the end of the movie she does finally get what he means.
According to the law of Attraction everything we bring into our lives is there because we brought it there. So if you are in a good, bad, perfect, abusive ect. relationship it is because that is were you want to be, that is what you have accepted, and if you want to change it then you are the only one that can do it. If you don't want to change it, because its all good, then congrats & keep on doing what you are doing, it must be working. If you are not in a relationship, and you want to be, you may want to take some time to reflect on what you have been doing, and not just your actions, your thoughts, your feelings, what are you focusing on. Are you focusing on what you want your partner to be or not to be. You need to focus on what you want not what you don't want. Take time to meditate even just for 2 minutes and let yourself be overwhelmed with the feeling of LOVE, pretend you just met your Prince or Princess and they have swept you off your feet and nothing in the world can bring you down, really feel it a see it, close your eyes and visualize your perfect wedding or romantic get away and smile because you feel so great all over!! Don'T worry about a specific person or who it will be or how it will be. Trust in the universe to bring you the person that was put on this earth for you and you WILL have your happily ever after!

Choose to be in joy

I get really cool emails from the creator of the Secret and figured I will share them with ya'll. This one today talks about being in joy or being joyful even in difficult times. It goes along with what I said about choices, everyday you wake up and you make the choice whether you will be happy or mad that day. In every situation you have the choice of how you will react to it. No matter how horrible something may seem, you have the power to make it a positive thing rather then choosing to sit and cry over it. Even if you don't know exactly how you could possibly make it positive, if you choose to simply not be upset and dwell on it; to be in joy, then you will release the positive vibrations and that alone will help to turn the bad situation to good.



A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne Creator of The Secret

Be in Joy now and everything will change
In the moment that I discovered The Secret I realized that I had been living my entire life backwards. If things were good in my life, I was happy. If things were difficult in my life and everything was going wrong, I was stressed and miserable. In my ignorance, I had been misusing the law of attraction all of my life. But all of that changed when I had the knowledge of The Secret.
To live in accordance with The Secret and the most powerful law in the Universe, we must be in Joy first - and then everything will change. To live our lives by emotionally reacting to what is happening outside of us is misusing the law! As we react with negative emotion to any difficulties, we attract more negativity into our lives. We cannot defy the law of attraction, which operates on the most microscopic levels of vibration, and with absolute exactitude.
You must be in Joy first. And then your life will change into Joy.
Difficult times are the greatest opportunities in disguise. When we face difficult times we have to put in determined work to get ourselves into Joy. But let me tell you, when you can get yourself into Joy despite what is happening around you, your life must change - it's the law!
In addition, as you become Joy in difficult times you are becoming the master of your emotions, the master of your life, and the master of the law of attraction. Difficult times are your greatest opportunity to practice yourself into Joy.
Of course if your life is going along swimmingly then it is very easy to be in Joy. During those times your Joy is most likely a reaction to the good times. But the magnificence and the power that you really have within you will be seen when you can be in Joy during difficult times. It is then that you will see the true power that you have within you, because as you hold to Joy, you will shift all the energies of the Universe, and your life and your world will change.
The cause of everything is within you, and the effect is what you experience in your life. You have the power within you to change everything by putting yourself in Joy. You can change everything so easily by becoming Joy first! And nothing can change until you get yourself in Joy, because that is the law of attraction. Like attracts like! The energy of Joy attracts energy of Joy!
Do whatever it takes to find your Joy, and then keep yourself in it no matter what. Keep ramping up your level of Joy every day. There is no limit to the levels of Joy you can reach. You will see change to the degree of Joy that you can attain and maintain. The higher the Joy you can create within you, the more spectacular the change, and the higher the Joy, the faster the change. Once you get yourself in Joy it is easy to maintain it, because your emanation of Joy attracts more Joy. The law of attraction will continually send you more feelings of Joy.
You cannot criticize or blame or complain when you are in Joy. You cannot be afraid when you are in Joy. You cannot speak negatively when you are in Joy. You cannot harm another when you are in Joy. Negativity cannot reach you when you are in Joy.
When you are in Joy you are compassionate. When you are in Joy you are considerate and caring. When you are in Joy you love others. When you are in Joy you appreciate everything. When you are in Joy you are in love with the world, and the Universe is in love with you.
Be in Joy. Seek it with all of your heart, and you will find it.
May the Joy be with you,
Rhonda Byrne The Secret... bringing Joy to billions

Choices

I mentioned before that we make the decisions in our life for everything. Choose what comes into our lives and choose something as small as how our day goes. Its true!
Here is a lil story i received as an email I thought I would share, I have posted it on other places and people seem to like it.

READ THIS, LET IT REALLY SINK IN - THEN CHOOSE ...
John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, 'If I were any better, I would be twins!' He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, 'I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time How do you do it?' He replied, 'Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose to be in a bad mood I choose to be in a good mood.' Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life. 'Yeah, right, it's not that easy,' I protested. 'Yes, it is,' he said. 'Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life.' I reflected on what he said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back I saw him about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, 'If I were any better, I'd be twins..Wanna see my scars?' I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. 'The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,' he replied. 'Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live.' 'Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?' I asked He continued, '..the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the20faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action.' 'What did you do?' I asked. 'Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,' said John. 'She asked if I was allergic to anything 'Yes, I replied.' The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'' Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.' He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude... I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything .
