Dear Friends … Give What You Want to Receive

When I don’t have what I want, It’s not because somebody else is withholding it from me. It’s because I am. What I give to myself, I have. I’m not at the mercy of anybody else.

And as much as I love that, my favorite part of this lesson goes beyond that. As I give what I want, I prepare a spot in my heart to receive what I want from somebody else.

I give it to me. I give it to the collective whole and, perhaps, to a specific person. And by giving what I want with no agenda, I attract it. I open myself to receive it from somebody who is uniquely prepared to give it to me.

The toughest lessons are the most rewarding: What’s missing is what I am not giving.

I am so learning to give it! Right now, that readied space in my heart is swelling. I feel like I’m about to burst. And I am, at the age of 65, one thankful little girl.

Let’s get the lesson, and regardless of what it costs, let’s be grateful that we got it.

Remember … and begin again

There was a time in your life–if only for a moment–when you believed that anything could happen. Maybe since then, your dream has changed. Maybe you’ve even lost sight of it, but the dream isn’t dead. Because you’re not! Dream a new dream if you like; but make it the best one you have ever dreamed.

Some might say to be content with what is, to be detached from the outcome, and just trust what comes. I agree! But don’t let that stop you from dreaming. Dream with the understanding that your reality will outshine your wildest dreams! And then let that reality begin.

Let it begin with a thought, that inspires a feeling, that shifts to an attitude of faith, that provokes action, that gets real results. TFAR: Thought, Feeling, Action, Result. And begin again. Always, begin again.

Remember the miracle you are! And live life in such a way that you can’t forget. … More

Opposites attract, complement, don’t complete

“Relationships don’t work when people get hooked up with opposites, instead of partners with similar traits who like what they like,” says one reader.

Not bad … but oversimplified.

“Similar” is most apt to work when two people accept who they are, and are no longer trying to get somebody else to make up for what’s “missing.” Opposites sometimes attract each other to compensate for what they think they lack.

If, for example, you long to be comfortable socializing, you might be attracted to somebody who’s outgoing and well connected in the community. And although, as an introvert, you could be intrigued by a socialite for a while, novelty is generally short lived. While an extrovert is fueled by the crowd, an introvert is drained by it — even when enjoying it — and might want more space to catch his (or her) breath than he can find with an extrovert.

This is a perfect example of how two people can get enthralled with each other — briefly. Infatuation rarely survives for more than a year.

On the other hand, if you’ve learned that you can mingle with a crowd of strangers, and still prefer to spend your time with intimate friends, you just might accept yourself as-is.… More
