When you begin to understand Law of Attraction, and you understand that which is like unto itself is drawn, then it is easier and easier to understand that you are offering a signal, and the entire Universe responds.

And when you finally get that, and you begin to exercise some deliberate control about the signal that you offer, then it really begins to be fun, because then you recognize that nothing happens outside of your creative control.

There are no things that happen by chance or by circumstance. There is nothing that is happening because of something you vibrated a long time ago or in a past life.

It is not about what you were born into. It is only about what you are, right now, in this red hot fresh moment emitting.

We would like you to reach the place where you're not willing to listen to people criticize one another…

where you take no satisfaction from somebody being wrong…

where it matters to you so much that you feel good, that you are only willing to think positive things about people…

you are only willing to look for positive aspects; you are only willing to look for solutions, and you are not willing to beat the drum of all of the problems of the world.

"I must be aware of bad things, and guarded about bad things, and I must watch out for bad things by trying to guide myself toward good things."

You can't do both at the same time. You can't watch out for bad things, and allow good things at the same time. It is vibrationally not possible.

Nothing is more debilitating than to care about something you can't do anything about.

And you can't do anything about your adult children. You can want better for them, and maybe even begin to provide something for them, but in the long run, you cannot do anything about someone else's vibration other than hold them in the best light you can, mentally, and then project that to them.

And sometimes, distance makes that much more possible than being up close to them.

Make a decision of what you want, give your attention there, find the feeling place of it — and you're there instantly.

There is no reason for you to suffer or struggle your way to or through anything.

The One Thing That Changes Everything by Alexander Green

Editor's Note: Alex Green is in London today, so we are running this excerpt from his new book Beyond Wealth: The Road Map to a Rich Life.

===========

Whether you realize it or not, one indispensable quality affects every relationship in your life. It holds together all your associations. It determines whether you realize your dreams, both personal and professional. It virtually defines you to others. Without it, true success is impossible.

Stephen M.R. Covey is even more emphatic. He writes "There is one thing that is common to every individual, relationship, team, family, organization, nation, economy, and civilization throughout the world - one thing which, if removed, will destroy the most powerful government, the most thriving economy, the most influential leadership, the greatest friendship, the strongest character, the deepest love.

On the other hand, if developed and leveraged, that one thing has the potential to create unparalleled success and prosperity in every dimension of life. Yet, it is the least understood, most neglected, and most underestimated possibility of our time.

That one thing is trust."

Simply put, trust is confidence in an individual or organization. It is other people feeling good about relying on you. And its value can hardly be overstated. Trustworthiness is the universally accepted test of good character.

When you trust someone, you have confidence in his or her honesty and abilities. You can delegate things easily and effectively. You can relax. You have peace of mind. But when you doubt someone's integrity, question his accomplishments, or worry about his agenda, confidence is replaced by suspicion and anxiety.

Take a moment and picture someone you trust implicitly. It could be a spouse, a parent, a sibling, a friend, or a business associate. How does this relationship make you feel? How easily do you communicate? How quickly do things get done?

Now imagine someone you distrust. How does this relationship feel? How easily do you communicate? Do you enjoy this relationship... or is it complicated, cumbersome and draining?

The difference between a high-trust and low-trust relationship is night and day. In a high-trust relationship, you can say the wrong thing and your listener still understands you. In a low-trust relationship, you can choose your words carefully, be very precise, and you may still be misunderstood.

Sadly, trust is at an ebb in our society. A Harris poll reveals that only 27% of Americans trust the government, only 22% trust the media, only 12% trust big companies, and only 8% trust political parties.

Personal trust is waning, too. Many people nowadays look back on contracts or commitments as something to negotiate. Half of all marriages end in divorce. Many (perhaps most) of them founder on a lack of trust.

Each of us naturally gravitates away from individuals we can't believe or rely on and towards those we can. Low trust is the very definition of a bad relationship. And once you forfeit someone's confidence, it's awfully hard to win it back.

This is particularly true in business. We all survive by selling a product, service or skill. Yet every sale has five basic obstacles: no need, no money, no hurry, no desire, no trust.

If trust is lacking, forget the other four. You're done. The moment someone suspects your motives, everything you do becomes tainted.

That's why successful companies make a priority of building and maintaining confidence. John Whitney, Professor Emeritus of Management at Columbia Business School, estimates that mistrust doubles the cost of doing business.You may have the best product, great service, competitive pricing, mountains of supporting facts and figures, and testimonials galore. But if you don't command and deserve trust, you will not enjoy long-term success.

It is never enough to simply invite trust. It must be earned.

In personal relationships, that means handling responsibility, proving your credibility, allowing yourself to be relied upon again and again. It's not just about integrity. It's about looking out for the other person's interests as well as your own.

Employers build trust with employees by assigning them important responsibilities, giving them the freedom to make mistakes, and setting an example. Real leadership is about getting results in ways that inspire confidence.

In a world that changes as quickly as ours, trust is a critical factor. It is the vital currency.

Business consultant Tom Peters calls trust "the issue of the decade." Trust makes work easier and more productive. It makes relationships stable and predictable. It creates a sense of community.

That's why it's crucial that we not violate it. Trust can take years to build but only a moment to destroy. And you may not get an opportunity to even try to restore it.

For each of us - and for every organization - trust is something to be built up, protected, valued, cherished, and carefully preserved. It is the one thing that changes everything.

Irritation is the result of dissatisfaction with the current moment.

You want things to be different, but it doesn’t change.

Embrace the moment, the irritation will disappear.

~ Dr. Pillai

[winston]

One who is mostly an observer thrives in good times but suffers in bad times because what he is observing is already vibrating, and as he observes it, he includes it in his vibrational countenance.

As he includes it, the Universe accepts that as his point of attraction and gives him more of it.

So the better it gets the better it gets. Or the worse it gets the worse it gets.

While one who is a visionary thrives in all times.

While I was cleaning some stuff this morning, I found an old presentation that I gave some "Young Executives" and University Students more than a decade ago ..

My last slide had some questions from Robin Sharma, which we are supposed to read, first thing every morning:-
1) How can I make today a living master-piece ?
2) What can I be grateful for ?
3) What can I do today to improve my Body, Mind & Spirit ?
4) How can I contribute to the world today, in a small way ?
5) What can I do to laugh and have fun today ?

Timely reminder for myself
