WE ARE WHAT WE THINK AND HOW WE ACT

You have heard of the "Law of Attraction", "The Secret" and of course "The Mouradian Model for Cooperative Action" which we simply call "The Model". In each of these ways of being we talk about how we create our days simply by what we think and what we attract to us. Then of course we end up reacting to those attractions based on what we think. It becomes quite a circle.

Over the last few years I have concentrated on looking at every person and every situation around me in a positive manner. I do my best to push the most amazing energy out of my being and into the universe every single moment of every day. Am I at 100% yet, no, but I have to tell you I am really, really close.

It is really difficult to explain in words the feelings and blessings I get everyday simply by applying good thought to good deeds. Because of this type of mindset I seem to be attracting everything I need; whether it is a good parking spot or a new contract or a new acquaintance. You can believe this or not, but it is even to the point that if I think about someone or something, within 24 hours that person calls or that thing comes into my life.

I have learned that you can't force anything to happen, that it will happen at its own pace. The Universe has its own timelines, but if you are connected to it like I am it will blow your mind. By the way, the more I notice and the more I acknowledge the more that comes.

The other day a friend was coming for dinner; he hurt his back and called to cancel. I had already defrosted the steaks, but instead of getting upset about how my well planned evening was going to change, my thoughts went to how my friend was feeling. I then sent out good thoughts for his quick recovery. My next task was what to do about dinner and the defrosted steaks. The first person I thought of was another friend who had just come back from a long trip overseas and I really wanted to connect with him to catch up. He came into my thoughts very strongly and I intended to call him and invite him over. Less than an hour later, he called. I invited him for dinner and the evening turned out to be amazing.

There is an old saying, "As one door closes another door opens". Depending on what you are thinking and what kind of positive vibes you are sending to the Universe it will govern what is on the other side of that newly opened door.

We truly get what we think about...if we think about the bad, that is what we get. If we think about the good that is also what we get. I can tell you I am living proof of that and I will not go back to where I was. Life is too good in this new reality that I am in.

Peace...

Ted




MOM’S TWO CENTS
By Jordin Williamson

DON'T LET YOUR PROBLEMS BECOME THEIRS


In a day when stress is to the max and your job is in one ear and your family is in another ear and the dishes are piled up and the laundry is overwhelming...don't let the children feel the effects of it. Don't let your stresses and problems become theirs.

Our children have only one job in their little lives and that is to have fun. We teach them rules, responsibility, respect for others, compassion and empathy. They use what we teach them, the good and the bad, to mould themselves into adults. If they feel our adult stresses at such a young age then when do they have time to have fun?

Being a kid can be stressful enough if we let it. They have school work, peer pressure, family pressure, and if we throw our problems on them too it can make for a very rough childhood. Kids are very smart. They hear everything, they see everything, and they get a lot more than we may realize. Your job as a parent should be to focus on the good things in life. Leave the adult stresses for a time when they aren't around; when they don't have to try to deal with their emotions and yours. Because all our children ever want to do it make us happy.

Don't let your problems become theirs. Let them be kids; stress free, covered with dirt, ice cream eating, bug collecting, bike riding, silly noise making, cartoon watching just plain fun kids.



Quote of the Month
By Brodi Mouradian

"If you begin the day with love in your heart, peace in your nerves, and truth in your mind, you not only benefit by their presence but also bring them to others, to your family and friends, and to all those whose destiny draws across your path that day." – Unknown
