Hi all,

I feel great as I write, and I won't pretend that all is going great around me on the surface. The main thing though is that I feel good (income still trickling along up til now for the time being, and so on.)

Last two weeks I probably lost some clients even though this is definitely NOT part of my CMI at all! I feel a little bonkers if truth be told – appearances say that things are a little thin on the ground, reality is I feel so well, and a bit like ‘the village idiot’ as I make my way around the community.

I’m enjoying the CMI, my richness (gulp), the sunshine, the energies I work with, my friends, and trusting that also material riches are about to materialise, like, quickly. They are aren’t they??

Long time SOGR-ers, any words of wisdom would be very welcome please?

Greetings Tee!

very nice thoughts indeed. The only 'words of wisdom' I would like to offer, is for you to be sure you're focusing on the riches and abundance coming to you from the perspective of having NOW, not from the perspective of "I don't have them yet but they're on their way". Each has a distinct energy of it's own.

Put another way, Wattles says "Enter at once into full enjoyment of the things you want". That would entail appreciating it all now; let the Universe/Thinking Stuff figure out the details

Continued success!

Hi Tee

Nice post! Keep focusing on what you want and definately believe you have the things you want now.

Keep the faith my friend and believe and you soon will be amazed.

Love to all

Hi,Tee. I think what you're experiencing is the number one reason people bail out of SOGR claiming "it doesn't work." They hear about these seeming miracles coming from other people almost overnight and wonder why it hasn't happened like that for them, and they give up.

Sometimes you just need to have patience, always holding to the faith that everything that's going on is ultimately for your benefit, even if it doesn't look like it now.

I've been practicing SOGR principles for several months now, and a lot of things went wonky at first. But--and this is hard to explain--I just feel so much better, and I know the abundance is on its way. Some things have manifested--a free trip to Hawaii, for example. But I'm still waiting for "the big one." But because it's so big and massive a desire (hey, Mr. Wattles said don't hesitate to ask big, and I didn't) I figure it'll take a little time to manifest.

So just be patient, and whenever you feel even an inkling of doubt, fall back on gratitude, my favorite cure for everything.

Warmest regards,

Thank you so much all.

Your responses have resulted in an very valuable aha! to me which I'm excited with.

I see more clearly just how empowering SOGR, the course and this forum all are.

The coming back to the NOW especially which is essentially where all our power is - and it can't be in the future (oh, I'm just about to get that...) And the past, well let's not stay stuck in the past, I'm sure a few of us know that old chestnut!

NOW is where we feel, is where we have faith, is where we practice the patience, feel to take action, and of course is where we give gratitude.

Thank you!!

Tee

And of course the CMI has all its full energy right now too.

AND I forgot to mention that today I had the best day of business that I have had so far this year!! Yay. It's here and I see more too

Tee

How's business right now Tee?

Hope you're keeping your spirits up, or rather; keeping the faith. Remember that you'll get what you ask for - if you just stick to it...

Best wishes
PS there's only one answer do the above question - and that's 'great'. Say it, believe it and it will be so ;0)

Greetings!

As for losing clients, (I'm not certain that this is SOGR thinking, I'm still a newbie, but...) could you consider that the Universe might be making room (and time) for the increases that are already in progress to come to you?

Just a thought...

Well ... they certainly CAN manifest quickly.

But ... they're not likely to as long as you are so strongly focused on what you DON'T have and DON'T want. In other words, right now your REAL focus is on lack and scarcity. See what we SAY or write is nothing compared to what we're REALLY thinking or feeling.

Whatever that is -- wherever we are truly placing our focus, faith, and feeling -- the Universe/Formless immediately says, "OK!" and goes right to work bringing that to us.

Then, as we stay focused in that "wavelength" (if you will), we're harmonizing with that which means we are saying yes, yes, yes and opening the way for THAT to come to us.

That's what most people do, most of the time.

But when we look for ways to feel better so that our thoughts are focused on things we do want, do like, do feel enthusiastic for and appreciative of, THEN we are harmonizing with THAT sort of thing, saying yes, yes, yes to that and opening the way for it.

When we're saying one thing and our TRUE focus is on the opposite though, we're sort of doing a wacky dance with prosperity -- a step forward, a step back, and so on. And that is how we can make ourselves feel a bit crazy, spinning in circles, getting nowhere.

Take your focus OFF mere appearances and get it back on the truth of abundance and plenty. When you find yourself feeling down, bad, off, just notice that gently (beating yourself up is pointless as it just takes you AWAY from what you want), and then shift your thoughts a little to something that feels a little better -- like remembering that you've often been very successful, that everyone who's been ultimately successful has surely lost clients (lots of 'em!) before, and that it's really no big deal in the long run. ANY thought that feels better. Just sort of lift yourself up the "feeling better" scale this way.

You said, "I won't pretend that all is going great," and my question is why not? I do it whenever necessary because it feels better. Being grateful today for something I am focused on that is not here physically yet (but is DEFINITELY here mentally, energetically, spiritually) is what Mr. Wattles tells us is the key. One person in the Practical GeniusesTM class said it's not really "pretending," it's just "telling the truth in advance."

So, give that a shot. It really does work. It really is the SOGR in a nutshell.
