Soothing Thoughts

Can I heal myself through my determination
To do so? Can I figure out what to do then
Set a goal and achieve it? These thoughts are upstream
And I know they won’t help me to fulfill my dream
Of a life of simplicity. I don’t know when
I’ve ever been in such a tough situation.

I need thoughts that are downstream. I need to let go
Of a ton of resistance. It stands in the way
Of my becoming the person I’m meant to be.
I must know that there’s nothing the matter with me.
To get into alignment what price must I pay?
It’s that of being willing to go with the flow.

My life has caused me to create it. I know it’s
Waiting for me. I don’t have to worry about
It becoming reality. I don’t have to
Figure it all out right now. All I need to do
Is to keep myself free of any thoughts of doubt
Which means I cannot focus too much on my wits.

It’s natural for things to turn out well for me.
There’s no rush. I’ve got plenty of time to do this.
When I feel like doing it, it always feels good.
When I don’t, then it sucks. It’s now well understood.
All the things that are going well I can’t dismiss.
To think any thought I want I’m perfectly free.

What’s In Your Future?

Dec16

Everything that you’ve lived as you stand here and now
Has caused you to ask for a mind stimulating,
Uplifting, and provocative environment.
You want nothing more in life than to be content.
In each moment the future you are creating.
Only those thoughts that feel good you want to allow.

When you say that it hasn’t happened yet it means
That what’s happening now has been effectively
Projected into your future by your intent
As you don’t believe that anything will prevent
It from happening. What you want must come to be.
It happens through your positive daily routines.

If you spend the next three hours anticipating
Something way beyond what the probability
Of it happening is now, you will have altered
Your future into something that’s much more preferred
Over what may occur had you chose not to be
Expectant. There’s power in what you’re creating.

‘Now’ does not have to dominate your vibration
But because you were taught to face reality
Rather than try to change it ‘what is’ keeps you from
What could be in your future which is the outcome
Of your present. Your future can be yours to see.
Your intent is your crystal ball of creation.

Right Back Into Alignment

Dec14

It takes much self-control to let go of control.
It feels almost counter to what I’m asking for.
I think I’m meant to do things that I’m not doing
And that’s why I have difficulty pursuing
What I want. I’ve no time for the things I adore.
How I feel in the moment is much less than whole.

In my determination to have a fine day
I’m obsessed with figuring out what I can do
To be the best at what I do, somehow I know
That I’m struggling upstream. If I go with the flow
Then I’ll have a much more positive point of view.
Things may just work out for me if I think this way.

I don’t know exactly where to go or what to
Do but I can feel the call and know that as I
Relax more then I’m better able to translate
The call into more details. I want to create
A life full of excitement. It’s the reason why
I was born and each moment I have here is new.

Now I’m meant to do things that I’m going to let
Myself do. There’s a difference in how that feels
Which is lighter. I don’t have to figure it all
Out right this red hot minute. It is but a small
Thing to change my direction. My true heart reveals
What I need to know to me and there’s no regret.

Making Peace With Where I Am

Dec2

Where I am is where I am but where am I now?
Have I time left to get to where I need to go?
Where I am now is troublesome. I’m in a place
Unbecoming of a person. Utter disgrace
Rains upon me. My memories are of sorrow.
Could I feel more remorse if I only knew how?

“All is well and it’s getting more well all the time.”
Not an appropriate mantra is this for me
At the moment but as I get things turned around
In my mind the more humanity can be found
In my nature. I know not how I came to be
Such a person susceptible to certain crime.

Have I the luxury to claim insanity
For all my past behavior? The things that I’ve done
Are atrocious and part of my reality.
Making Peace With Where I Am is how I break free
From my own psychic prison where I had begun
A sentence of self-undoing repentantly.

Where I am is an indicator of where I
Want to be and the gap between them I control.
Everything I’m living is an indication
Of downstream or upstream motion and I’m the one
To decide which direction will make me more whole.
That I feel somewhat hopeful I cannot deny.

Anchoring Your Vibration

Oct8

Is there some affirmation that I can use in
Anchoring my vibration to be uplifted
At any given moment? I know, “All is well”
Is a good one. But what if I’m feeling like hell?
How do I get my fettered vibration shifted
In the proper direction? Where do I begin?

All is well and is getting more well. It is true
But if you can’t believe that right now, what you can
Do is reach for the best feeling words you can find
That will soothe you and get you properly aligned
With your true self. You just want to feel better than
You do presently. It’s the only thing to do.

It’s going to be alright. You know this is so
Because things have been not right and then they got right
So they’ll be right again. Soothe yourself the same way
That you would a dear friend who’s caught up in dismay.
It’s true that one can’t jump from despair to delight
In an instant. You can feel a bit better though.

Make peace with where you are. It’s always a downstream
Kind of feeling. Where you are is where you are and
You’ve no choice but to be there, but where you are now
Is just an indicator if you can allow
It to be that. You will have taken full command
Of your vibration and you can go for your dream.

Before Doing It, Align With It

Sep20

What do you know that you often seem to forget?
You know the difference between what doesn’t feel
So good and what feels a little better so you
Can make well informed choices about how to do
The mundane things as well as the ones most ideal.
Things you have to do shouldn’t be seen as a threat.

You don’t need to know everything. Just know what you
Know already. Does this thought feel better or worse
Than the one right before it? You know beyond doubt
The answer in each moment so it’s all about
Choosing better and the entire universe
Will support you. You have to believe this is true.

You need to talk yourself into feeling better.
You begin by remembering that you create
By the way that you vibrate, in other words, you
Attract things. They do not come from out of the blue.
So, how can you stay in a more positive state?
Keep your mind focused on the thoughts that you prefer.

Nothing is more important than that you feel good.
Only look for that which you are wanting to see.
No matter what you’re doing you can make it fun.
It’s the best way for you to get anything done.
Before doing it you’re advised to get happy.
How you get to that place is now well understood.

All Is As It Should Be

Mar26

Things are as they are, and I am where I am now.
Finding peace with the circumstance is challenging
When I feel just as sick as the world I live in.
If I had to I wouldn’t know where to begin
Comprehending behavior. If it were my thing,
How much hatred and suffering would I allow?

What would be a good mantra or affirmation
I could use to anchor my vibration to be
Uplifted? “All is well and is getting better?”
If I’m not right, it’s not one that I would prefer,
But I can find the words that are just right for me.
“It was bad, but it got better.” That’s a good one!

I can soothe myself in the same way that I’d try
To soothe anyone under any condition.
From my perspective, things are nowhere near alright,
But it’s possible for me to gain some insight
That will put me in a much better position
To make peace with the here and now. My health is why.

Whatever I’m living isn’t more important
Than that fact that it’s only an indication
Like the gas gauge that tells me I’m almost empty.
I don’t cry and ask, “What the hell’s happened to me?”
Indicators tell me that things ought to be done.
In each moment I can learn to find the right chant.

A Winner

Mar17

“Can I meditate and manifest the winning
Lottery numbers?” You cannot get there from there.
It is possible to do this, but here’s the thing.
If your mood isn’t right, then your spending will bring
Nothing to you. Most people aren’t even aware
Of their feeling when buying. It’s interesting.

Are you feeling euphoria while you’re putting
Down your money? If so, then keep on doing it.
People buy out of boredom while hoping they will
Win the jackpot someday. If you go for the thrill
Of just playing, it is of immense benefit
To your vibration and your chances of winning.

There’s a mix of emotions you’re accustomed to.
Your mind tells you it’s possible, but not your gut.
You want money to flow to you in abundance
That you can enjoy comfortably. You enhance
Your vibration by keeping your focus on what,
In each moment, is going on inside of you.

So, don’t buy until you’ve lined up your energy,
Then you won’t need the ticket because you are now
A cooperative component to money
Coming to you in ways that you didn’t foresee.
You’re a big winner when you decide to allow
The abundance to happen spontaneously.

When I Don’t Feel Like Doing It.

Mar6

I just don’t feel like doing it, and I’m afraid
That my procrastination is not good for my
Growing business. If I’m action oriented,
Then there’s only one way for me to get ahead.
It’s by acting, but I don’t know the reason why
I’m not feeling excited. In fact, I’m dismayed.

If I get moving anyway even though I
Don’t feel like it, the result will be disaster.
It can’t be the right time if I don’t feel like it.
What could I do that would be to my benefit?
Is there yet another skill set I must master?
Is there some way of dealing with this I can try?

If I let go of the oars, my boat turns downstream.
Alignment before action is the way to go.
My dominant intent is to give my thoughts to
My dream so profoundly that it has to come true.
I’ll receive by insight all that I need to know.
My alignment with my dream must remain supreme.

Action can be delicious when done from a place
Of my knowing and feeling deep inside of me
That I must be delighted in getting things done.
I remember how in the beginning I had fun.
That place of fulfillment is where I want to be.
I will do what I do with a smile on my face.

Your Emotions

Feb22

Emotions are a big deal. They mean everything.
Through you feelings you generate a vibration
Which is responded to by all that receive it.
Yet, you can control the signal that you transmit.
It’s not complicated. It can even be fun
To feel better. All it takes is some fine tuning.

You’re Source Energy in a physical body.
The variety that surrounds you inspires new
And constant awareness of what you would prefer.
Manifold are the preferences that occur.
The thoughts that you’re thinking have everything to do
With the way you feel, so select them carefully.

Pay attention to the emotions that you feel
All day, every day. They are your indicator
Of the vibrational mix between you and Source.
Within you is contained a most provident force.
You will learn to feel better sooner or later.
No matter what the circumstance, it is ideal.

It does not take much tuning to come back into
Alignment with who you really are at your core.
It’s the consistency of holding yourself there
That brings things that you’re wanting from out of nowhere.
Shift your thinking. You can enjoy life a lot more.
There is not anything else that you need to do.

What’s In Your Future?

Jan21

If you spend the next few hours anticipating
Something far beyond what the probability
Of it happening is, then even though things will
Probably be the same as they’ve been, you will still
Be preparing your future, and naturally,
What will happen then is what you’re now creating.

If you can avoid facing reality and
Think thoughts that are different from what’s probable,
Then your future experience has to transform
Into something better. While not part of the norm,
It is an exercise in remaining stable
So that the most fulfilling of futures is planned.

Just anticipate that you’re going to get it
Then forget it. Don’t spew lack into your future
By observing what’s in your now experience.
You can know it’s on the way without evidence
Of its coming. Your focus on it must be pure.
Change happens only as much as you will permit.

In all the deciphering, you are becoming,
And you must let yourself gravitate toward that
Which you have become. Joy is your primary goal.
Change what is in your future by taking control
Of the present. Do make peace with where you are at.
This will get your futuristic motor humming.

A Magnificent Story

Jan1

Whatever you are living at any moment
Is an indicator of what you’re offering
By vibration. The feeling is temporary.
Have you been telling yourself the same old story?
Telling it like it is doesn’t yield you a thing
But a difficult life and extreme discontent.

There are two kinds of drumbeats that people follow.
One is that of frustration. “I don’t have enough.
I hate them. I don’t like what they’re doing to me.
I don’t like what is happening with my country.
Ever since I was little, my life has been tough.”
Beating this drum takes you where you don’t want to go.

But the other drumbeat is a lot different.
“There is plenty. I have enough, and what I need
Is lined up for me. Circumstances and events
Come together for me, and it makes perfect sense
That there is nothing wrong. I have planted the seed
Of desire. I have faith in its full fulfillment.”

The way you feel is everything. This is because
It is The indicator of whether you are
Closing or widening the gap between who you
Really are and the troubled self. All you can do
To beat the drum of happiness carries you far.
This is all according to spiritual laws.

Tell It The Way You Want It Told

Nov13

What you’re living is only a temporary,
In the moment indicator of what you are
Offering by vibration. Your feeling creates
A magnetic transmission. Your positive states
Bring about blessings that border on the bizarre,
Yet, this moment, as all, at some point, cease to be.

Tell a different story than the one that you
Were provided by others because it does not
Measure up to the real you, nor does it suffice
As one which includes things that you consider nice.
You are authorized by God to write your own plot.
You’re the star, the director, and the staging crew.

The old story contains things that are best to lose.
When you’re beating the drum of, “I don’t have enough,”
Then you draw others like you and give power to
The notion of not having. What you’re free to do
Is to tell the new story where life isn’t tough.
The best thing about it all is you get to choose.

Listen to the call of your source, and follow through
With the impulse to do something and change the way
You approach life and others. Your story can be
One in which everything works out successfully.
We are all acting with other forces at play.
Be open to what is more refreshing and new.

When Manifesting Feels Like Hard Work

Jun23

There’s no doubt that I’m anxious. My ultimate dream
Still keeps me up and running the rugged rat race.
I relinquish control albeit nervously
But the current is speeding up quite rapidly.
I’m accomplishing all the things that I embrace
But again I am moving too fast in the stream.

Everything though is relative. If an airplane
Is high up in the sky and moving at high speed
There is little resistance. But if on the ground
Then a case of white knuckles would be quite profound.
From my vantagepoint having the need to succeed
It remains hard to deal with for such little gain.

Have I really let go of the oars or have I
Held on to the belief that my work must feel hard?
Letting myself flow downstream should not be a chore.
I am doing enough. My doing any more
Is counterproductive. With sufficient regard
To the way that I’m feeling things can’t go awry.

When I get into sync with divine energy
It takes little to no action to manifest.
When I am flowing with it I do not feel it.
It seems like I am soaring. Indeed I am fit
To pursue my heart’s passion without feeling stressed.
Consciousness, clarity, and guidance are with me.

What’s In Your Future?

Feb9

We ask for the solution in myriad ways.
Living has caused the asking, and life will respond
To the heart of our focus immediately.
Feeling better or worse are the choices only
From this moment unto those that pierce the beyond.
How can we know what’s happening in later days?

What is in the process of becoming for you
Is all that you have wanted right up until now.
As you stand in awareness of all that you are
You must know that fulfillment is not all that far
In your future. To feel this is how you allow
All your dreams and wishes to finally come true.

But if you notice that it has not happened yet
It’s an upstream awareness that will pull you down
To the depths of despair. When you go with the flow
The events of your future are easy to know.
You do not have to resort to drifting around
In the fog of prediction with utter regret.

If you can avoid facing reality and
Think thoughts that are different from the probable
You pump that into your future nowness instead
Of the usual rubbish produced in your head.
In the long run you will be a lot more able
To know what’s in your future because it is planned.

Winning Ticket

Feb8

I would love tons of money, so what’s wrong with that?
If there’s nothing, then maybe I can do something
To attract what I’m wanting – like meditation
Or some Law Of Attraction trick like having fun
While I wait for the universe to kindly bring
What I want in a hurry – in other words, stat.

But I can’t get to there from my place of feeling
That I need to have some gimmick poised up my sleeve
That I can use like magic any time I please.
That’s too big of a jump, and it will only tease
The heck out of me. I must profoundly believe
That the thing that I’m doing good fortune will bring.

Winning lottery ticket numbers come to those
Who believe it is possible deep in their souls.
Is it euphoria that I feel when I buy?
Or is it out of habit? The more that I try
To come up with a system, it’s shot full of holes
Why I do what I’m doing I need to disclose.

Gambling is an upstream way of bridging the gap
Between me and what I want. If I feel an urge
To engage and I also feel magnificent,
Then I will. I relieve myself of the torment
Of it meaning all that much. I stand to emerge
Quite the winner. I need not fall into a trap.
