This blog started with a friend sending me this inspiring quote: Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” – Oprah Winfrey
As I was forwarding it to some friends I thought this quote could use a bit of clarification so we're not thinking it means 'we're just settling for what life has flung our way.' So I modified it like this: I've found that when we're thankful for what we have which is what we have asked for, and keep open to receive - we’re are blessed even more. When we focus on lack, there is never enough.
We were born with freedom of choice and the ability to co-create our lives. Our thoughts become things. What we think about is what we get. Co-creating our lives involves three steps: asking (that's up to us), answering (that is our Source Energy's response) and receiving (again that's up to us to not block the receipt of what we asked for with thoughts of 'lack' or unworthiness). Many times we may think we are asking for what we desire and in reality our thoughts are based more on the lack of, or not having what would make us happy. There may be a fine line between one type of thought and another. The main way to know which we are doing is again based on how good we feel when we're asking and being in a state of receiving.
The basis of life is freedom, the result of life is expansion and the purpose of life is joy! Thanks Esther and Jerry Hicks for your book, Ask and It Is Given.
