I've been focusing on my cmi of financial freedom, really feeling how great it is to be so free, and EVERYTHING in my finances has (seemingly) atarted to fall apart!

A client just lost a big contract & now the extra income I recently started receiving from them has stopped, a new client has not paid my invoice & I discovered he has a long list of bookkeepers still waiting for their checks! Just when it appeared my finances were improving, I've taken a drastic step backwards!!

The story of the man whose business deal fell apart suddenly & he thanked God for that instead of being upset is what I'm choosing to focus on right now. Something much better must be coming to me today. The Truth is there's more than enough money for everyone and mine is already on its way.

My 'efficient action' is to receive it now.

Expecting the Best,
Anya

Thanks for the inspiration! I was battling the "why isn't it working for me' thoughts. Fortunately, your post (and many others!) give me the boost I need to stay focused on what I DO want!

The Universe really does provide what I need to keep on keeping on!

Thanks, I'm grateful for your words of encouragement,

Yes, our thoughts really are powerful. But be sure to be patient with yourself. I began changing my thoughts and it took a long time before I started noticing results. And at the time I was tempted to think negatively. But because I stuck to the new thinking, it paid off and now things are happening for me that are even better than my anticipated results!

Thanks Kevsky. I'm beginning to understand that 'efficient action' is also thinking in the certain way.

Hi Anya

Just another thought:

Just being who you want to be, BE the person that allows you to feel good about yourself, and imagine how it would be like to be that person now!

I find things are so much easier when I am simply who I feel good being, and onward to becoming

that's efficient action for me

..hard not to lament to others when things aren't going well

Jeannette:

Funny thing is, because of SOGR, I've become aware of just how much, uptill now, I DID lament about things!

I discovered that, up till now, I had a habit of focusing on all the things that could go wrong whenever something went 'wrong'. Now I catch myself starting to do it & I immediately remember that I GET TO CHOOSE MY THOUGHTS, and I turn it around by thinking about ALL THE THINGS THAT COULD GO RIGHT! It's really magical how I start feeling good again after awhile of thinking about the good stuff.

It still takes some time to completely let go of the feelings I don't want, but the progress is that I do let go of them. I know that, with practice, it'll take less & less time to bring myself back to a state of joyful expectation and I am grateful for that!

Anya

Yes, It's hard not to lament to others when things aren't going well, but you are doing the right thing to focus "on my cmi of financial freedom, really feeling how great it is to be so free".
Remember that Wattles says, "Think truth, regardless of appearances."

Thanks for this reply. Didn't realize I was really focused on what I didn't want!!

Up till now, I didn't know that WHENEVER I replay the story of the life I don't want, I only prolong it!

Look for the good in everything & think about what I do want! Practice, practice, practice. I

It's good that you're seeing this as an indication that something better is on the way.

Whenever you do this (anyone!), you "mentally class yourself with the poor for the time being, and it will certainly check the movement of things in your direction ...

"Things are not brought into being by thinking about their opposites."

Tell the story -- to yourself and others -- of your life the way you want it to be, not as it is (unless you just want more of how it is).

That's a great distiction.

Hello Anya
I commend you for your decision. It is much more "profitable" to think positive. Your reward is right around the corner. Rembember this. Be still and know that I am God, or universe or what fit your beleive system.
Today is good news day. Be ready.
Take care
BT
