Fill in the blanks...

Fill in the blanks with the same word: The more ________ you notice in your life, the more ________ you get. Fill in the blank however you choose, and feel the truth and power in that statement.

Recently I have chosen to fill in the blank with the word "abundance" just to see what happens. I am consciously noticing abundance and how it shows up in my life every day. I started this practice last week while running through the woods (I wasn't being chased, I was just training!) and have been amazed ever since.

Now I am committed to keeping track of my "evidence of abundance" and sharing it with other people. I will do this now through my tweets (so follow along on Twitter: http://twitter.com/adaircates). I will share my longer, more detailed experiences right here.

Look for Positive Aspects

Yesterday I had lunch in the teacher workroom at school and witnessed another horribly negative conversation...pay cuts, unemployment, unruly kids. Many days I choose not to eat with my colleagues because of this. I felt like I did a pretty good job of not fueling the fire and after eating, went on with my day not brought down like I am on some days after experiencing such negativity.

Today while driving to work I listened to one of my favorite spiritual teachers, Abraham, talk about the Law of Attraction and careers. This was the perfect CD for me to listen to as I wind down this school year and ponder my next career steps.

Once again Abraham talked about the importance of looking for positive aspects: the best way to allow in a new and fulfilling job is to find what feels good in the job that you're in now. This attitude will shift your perspective of the negative people and events of your current job and keep you in a vibration of appreciation. In that vibration, you will not only attract a better position, you will also experience your current job and the people in it as more positive.

And it really works! This morning I took time to write the positive aspects of my current job and what do you know? As soon as I walked in the building today one of the teachers who was so super-negative at lunch yesterday apologized to me for being that way! WOW! I'm going to continue to look for positive aspects in my career and all areas of my life! Are you?
