The art of allowing

I read a quote last night that I wanted to share.
"A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before we changed."- Earl Nightingale

If you wanted to date this quote you would have to go way back, back beyond the secret to a time when the laws of quantum Physics we just coming into hard core play.

To break this down we have to dissect the quote in to smaller groups of words,
"A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before we changed."- Earl Nightingale

Start with a great attitude, we know that our attitude stems from our convictions or beliefs; if you believe something as you should it becomes impossible to have a bad attitude towards that belief, even when you believe something negative your attitude is not bad, it becomes one of acceptance, an attitude of accepting things for what they are.
By having a great attitude you are definitely exhibiting a positive belief then according to the quote it seems to magically connect us…to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before we changed

Serendipitous means wondrous, inspired, or fortuitous and all of these things were absent before we changed.

So basically what is being said here is that with attitude, which is positive thinking, we seem to become magically connected to all sorts of serendipitous, which are wondrous, Inspired fortuitous opportunities, and this all occurred as a result of a change in our thinking.

Now when you hear the quote, "A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before we changed." You cannot over look the validation in this message; this message confirms that by changing us we magically open up a world of infinite possibilities

Last night I was on the phone with my Brother for two hours, and during our conversation he said you are amazing, the truth is we are all amazing, every one of us. Where the problem comes in is that many people have an inability to accept the fact that they are amazing. I told him, all I do, all I ever do is what I’m supposed to do.

What he actually did was call my attention to the fact that although we are all amazing beings, only a select few are actually living an amazing life, only a few are doing what they are supposed to do. The reason why we get recognized for being amazing is because our cause and our actions stand out in a crowd. The True believers are the minority. Which is the opposite of how it should be.

When it comes to the Law of Attraction, there is nothing to master, and nothing to learn, all you are doing is observing what has existed since the beginning of time, the way our Universe yields results to us based on our beliefs and convictions. It has always worked in your life, for the good or for the bad, based on your true belief, and the depth or strength of that belief.

However the Law of allowing is something that must be learned, the reason true believers stand out in a crowd as being amazing is because they have mastered the art of allowing, it is this group of people that know how to live and create with the right attitude, an attitude becomes a way of life, and your attitude stems from your belief, in order to allow good, you have to do good, feel good and be good, you have to have your brothers back, give when you can give, in order to get when you can get.

When we have mastered the art of allowing, so how do we know when we have mastered the art of allowing? It’s simple, when you can give your most prized possession to your worst enemy, or the person who would for all practical purposes deserve it least, you are the master of allowing, then and only then can any and all things come to you. As I said before this doesn’t mean you have to give away your most prized possession what it simply means is you have to exist knowing you could do it.

If we hold our material possessions in such a high regard that we can’t possibly part with them, we are sending out a very definite message that we want to keep exactly what we have, we want nothing more, and we just want to keep things exactly as we are.

That message is in direct conflict with the art of allowing, you see in our world we have to give to get, the only thing is we are not talking about physicality, we are talking about attitude, or belief, you don’t have to give away your most prized possession but the ability to give it away the belief that you can must become the core of what you belief, in order to affectively create, you must be able to affectively give, in your mind while you must be thankful and grateful for that which you have you must also maintain a separation from those things, disconnecting emotionally from your most prized possessions allows you to receive more, cling to what you have, and it will always be what you have.

One exercise to test where you are emotionally in your ability to allow is simple it sounds simple but having done it; especially in this day and age it can be very challenging for some. You do not have to do this, this is simply evaluating your ability to be open to allowing.

We are not talking about what you actually do we are talking about what you can do, and affirming that you are positioned with an attitude or belief that will allow you to receive.

Put an amount of money, cash in an unmarked envelope, no identification what so ever, and send it to anyone you know that might need it. You do not have to be literally aware of their need, for instance if you know someone perhaps that just lost their job, and has a Family that would be an ideal candidate; you must be able to look past your personal opinion of this person, in other words if you know two people who have equal need, or you believe to have need, and you like one more than the other, or you feel one to be more deserving to further test your abilities you would send to the person whom you liked least, this is a real test. You don’t have to even do it, all you have to do is to know that you can.

When you start thinking about doing this you may begin to feel uncomfortable, I never said how much money so it is not that which is causing discomfort, what is making you uncomfortable more often than not is the idea that you are doing something good or amazing and you are doing it without the ability to be recognized, that the physical act of doing this would not be known as an action that you took….however when your beliefs are as they should be, you will know without a doubt that you are being recognized by the only force that matters in your life, and that is the all knowing world around you that responds serendipitously to your attitude, your beliefs, and your actions.

The amazing thing is it responds exactly the same whether you do this or not, it will respond exactly the same to your belief or ability to give, as it does the actual action of giving. And that is precisely why "A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before we changed."- Earl Nightingale

  1. This great Lori, It is really hard to give without being recognized. I know I'm so guilty of wanting to recognized when I do something for someone else. Thanks Kathy
