If I hear "this economy" one more time..!
I know that we all can individually have an impact on this world, whether it is through our negative or positive thinking. So if we focus on our positive thinking and this economy, could we change this negative light that surrounds the world right now? I remember hearing Carolyn Myss talk about the fact that we all like to bond with each other by talking about our wounds. Well, she's right. Almost everyone I talk to these days wants to say those two words in the title to me with a certain negative emotional oomph. Because I know how Law of Attraction works and because I am experiencing a tremendous amount of prosperity in my life, I'm not buying into this attempt to pull the planet in a negative direction. We have enough of that.
Abraham Hicks says we get more of what we focus on which is another way of talking about Law of Attraction.
Question: So what if you are in a job you're not crazy about and you also think this isn't the right time (see title) to try to change jobs? How can you still vibrate at a rate that will attract your desired outcomes and will feel good in your body?
Answer : Use your job experience as a way to grow yourself. Learn how to change your attitude about it and watch yourself go through that process. Find the good/lesson in this change and focus on your positive thinking.
Example from my life: In 2001 my husband and I lost all our money. We were 58 and 66 respectively. In 2003 my then 70-year-old husband got himself hired by Los Angeles Unified School District as a high school Physics teacher. Imagine starting a new career with 100+ inner city teenagers in your classes daily and of completely different background than he ever interacted with much and that's what his daily work life is like. Imagine also being required to fulfill a 3-year Master's equivalent program at the same time. Here's how he's handled it:
- He uses it to grow his organization abilities which he's ignored throughout his life.
- He uses it to watch himself become an amazing teacher.
- He uses it to see if how he could offer these kids a faster track into a successful life than their background, education and financial situation would normally allow.
- He uses as a way to keep him taking care of his body so he can do it. You should see him doing pull ups, push ups and using Wii Fit.
I could go on and on about him but I think you can see he's taken full responsibility for his life and his attitude and treats this situation as a way to grow. He's gained so much by feeling in charge of his life. Rather than moaning about the state of our finances and how unlucky we were, he focused on his positive thinking and it has made all the difference.
How can you make use of your job or career to grow as a human and make a positive thinking contribution to the planet?

This is a great article. You can benefit from any situation no matter how bad it may seem. Taking responsibility is key :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a job. I don't have a family to provide for. I've never had to work hard. I'm 17 years old.
Perhaps that's why I'm qualified to say what I'm about to say.
The recession in the economy is the end of the world for many people. It's a scary time no doubt but it doesn't have to be.
A recession is the perfect time to follow your dreams. Do what you love to do. Today if you have a passion you can generate a steady income doing what you love. Why wait? Screw negativity. Begin to live. Follow your dreams now.
beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteHi Maia,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree also. I am sick of the fear mongering going on about "the economy".
I have great empathy and compassion for those who are losing jobs, having problems with morgages/money and living in fear of what the future holds.
I also applaud myself for, with your support, considering all of the possibilities of expansion, looking at alternatives to my own "stuff" (my stuff just happens to not be out of a job, but I, like all others, still have "stuff"), and forging ahead for happiness and prosperity.
So, people can spread a consciousness based in fear or spread a consciousness based on love. To quote ACIM: "Everything is as it is meant to be". The fact that it appears fearful is a choice on whether you want to feel bad or do something about it.
It really isn't easy for many people right now. Fear doesn't help. It hurts because, as you say, the universe will respond to the law of attraction, and you just get more fear. It is a choice to decide what it is you want to attract: being fearful or being hopeful, trusting, positive and supportive of oneself and others.
Stories like your husbands are all over the place and need to be heard. Like your husband did, it is a time to get organized, ready ourselves to take on the challenges that come our way, discern our thoughts to keep and spread the positive ones, and accept the opportunity and prosperity as it comes into our lives.
