You’re standing in the fresh now, and many of the thoughts that you vehemently oppose are the very thoughts that have given you the desire that has attracted the clarity of where you now stand. No matter how awful you think they might be, all were of value in the evolution forward. Every one of them.

my note: THAT IS SO TRUE OMG!!! DASS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT. SO TRUE. GAWDD. ABRAHAM I LUVZ UUUUZ.

You Have the Ability to Direct Your Own Thoughts

You have the ability to direct your own thoughts; you have the option of observing things as they are, or of imagining them as you want them to be—and whichever option you choose, whether you are imagining or observing, is equally powerful. You have the option of remembering something as it actually occurred or imagining it as you would prefer. You have the option of remembering something that pleased you or remembering something that did not please you. You have the option of anticipating something you want or anticipating something you do not want. In every case, your thoughts produce a vibration within you that equals your point of attraction, and then circumstances and events line up to match the vibrations that you have offered. You have the ability to place your attention wherever you decide, so it is possible to distract yourself from something unwanted and put your attention upon something wanted. But when a vibration within you is one you have practiced a great deal, the tendency is to continue to offer the vibration in the way you have been practicing it—no matter how much you wish it to be different.
It is not a difficult thing to change the pattern of your vibration, especially when you understand that you can do it a little bit at a time. Once you have an understanding of how vibrations work, how they affect your experience, and, most important, what your emotions are telling you about your vibrations, now you can make steady, fast progress toward the achievement of anything that you desire.

In the 1900s, Emile Coué (a French psychologist and pharmacist) was a pioneer in the work of using positive thoughts to aid in healing. Part of his successful healing methods involved the simple daily application by his patients of this conscious autosuggestion: “Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better!” This is not only a powerful statement for health. As you can see by the words, it is a powerful statement for all areas of our life. When using this affirmation say it very slowly and with the full conviction of the meaning of the words. It is the force we put into words that make them powerful.

How do you get your attention off the bills when you are trying to attract money? You pretend, you make believe, and you create games with those bills to trick your mind into thinking good thoughts. Get your mind so busy with the make-believe games of what you want that there is no room for it to send you thoughts of lack. You are a creative being, so find the best creative way for you to turn your bills and bank statements into a make-believe game of abundance.

It is important to remember that you are vibrating a frequency every second. To change the outside circumstances and shift your life to a higher level, you must change the frequency on the inside of you. Thoughts of goodness, words of goodness, and deeds of goodness will lift your frequency higher. The higher your frequency, the more good to bring you.

When you close your eyes and you visualize having money and imagine doing all the things you want with that money, you are creating a new reality. Your subconscious mind and the law of attraction do not know whether you are imagining something or whether it is real. And so when you imagine, the law of attraction receives those thoughts and images as though you were actually living them, and it must return those visions to you. When you are in the place where what you are imagining feels real, you will know that it has penetrated your subconscious mind, and the law of attraction must deliver it.

-from The Secret Daily Teachings, written by Rhonda Byrne

Your thoughts and feelings are cause and what manifests is effect, so if you internalize what you are wanting you are completing all you have to do. As it is within, so it is without. As it is on the inside of you, so it is on the outside of you. Remember, inside you is the cause and the outside world is the effect.

-from The Secret Daily Teachings, written by Rhonda Byrne

There is no limit to how high you can increase your frequency, because there is no limit to the good thoughts you can think, or the good words you can speak, or the acts of kindness that you can perform. Besides transforming your own life through lifting your frequency, you lift others’ lives too. The positive frequency of your energy emanates out like the ripple from a stone thrown into water, touching our planet and every living thing on it. As you rise higher, you take the world with you.
