Begetting Change
Same Choices, Same Results
A change in perspective, behavior, or response can do so much more to help us move past issues left unresolved.
Repeated bouts of adversity are an unavoidable aspect of human existence. We battle against our inner struggles or outer world forces, and in many cases, we emerge on the opposite side of struggle stronger and better equipped to cope with the challenges yet to come. However, we can occasionally encounter trials that seem utterly hopeless. We strike at them with all of our creativity and perseverance, hoping desperately to bring about change, only to meet with the same results as always. Our first instinct in such situations is often to push harder against the seemingly immovable obstruction before us, assuming that this time we will be met with a different outcome. But staying power and stamina net us little when the same choices consistently garner the same results. A change in perspective, behavior, or response can do so much more to help us move past points where no amount of effort seems sufficient to overcome the difficulties before us.
Whether our intention is to change ourselves or some element of the world around us, we cannot simply wish for transformation or hope that our lives will be altered through circumstance. If our patterns of thought and behavior remain unchanged, our lives will continue to unfold much as they have previously. Patterns in which fruitless efforts prevail can be overcome with self examination and courage. It is our bravery that allows us to question the choices we have made thus far and to channel our effort into innovation. Asking questions and making small adjustments to your thought processes and behaviors will help you discover what works, so you can leave that which does not work behind you. To break free from those unconscious patterns that have long held sway over your actions and reactions, you will likely have to challenge your assumptions on a most basic level. You must accept once and for all that your beliefs with regard to cause and effect may no longer be in accordance with your needs.
Stagnation is often a sign that great changes are on the horizon. Courting the change you wish to see in yourself and in the world around you is a matter of acknowledging that only change begets change. The results you so ardently want to realize are well within the realm of possibility, and you need only step away from the well-worn circular path to explore the untried paths that lie beyond it.

We enter relationships looking for love, expecting someone to love us or accept us lovingly. This makes perfectly good sense if you consider that we are each born to express and receive love. In some unfortunate situations, we can want love or acceptance so badly that we will do almost anything to get it. We break love's rules. What we fail to understand is that we are the love we seek.
~ Iyanla Vanzant

Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
~ Howard Thurman

You are a Divine creation--a being of light who showed up here as a human being at the exact moment you were supposed to be. You are the beloved, a miracle, a part of the external perfection.
~ Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

You cannot truly express yourself until you first discover who you are.

Notes from the Universe
When you focus upon anything at all, it's like a call goes out to every corner of the Universe, summoning ideas, strength, courage, insight, resources, and whatever else is needed to complete the laser beam of your concentration. If it's an answer you need, it will be forthcoming. If it's a choice you have to make, your options are calculated and recalculated under each scenario. If circumstances need to be arranged then every soul on the planet is consulted. And if it's help you need... we're already there.
When you focus upon anything at all.
Not bad, huh?

Get out, get out, get out even more! Because there are people you've yet to meet, laughs you've yet to share, stories you've yet to live, and riches you've yet to tap into, that will not find you under any other circumstances.
Besides, how else can I shower you with surprises?

The Universal Law of Attraction Is Managing My Expansion... The Law of Attraction is the Universal manager of all Vibration, which expands to everything that exists through the Universe. And so, at the same time that the Law of Attraction is responding to the Vibrational content of your physical thoughts, it is also responding to the Vibrational content of your Inner Being.

We are not proponents of long life. We are proponents of joyful life, and when you find yourself in joy, the longevity usually follows. Although we do not count the success of a life by its length; we count it by its joy.
~ 'The Teachings of Abraham' by Esther and Jerry Hicks
*************************************************
Lighten up. Life should be fun. Many of us forget that there is more to life than work and worry. Remember that deep down, the whole purpose of everything you are doing is to make yourself and/or others happy. Take a step back and ask yourself if you have put some fun in your plans. Don't postpone enjoying yourself too long. Keep a balance in your life and remember that fun is a legitimate goal. You will work better because of it.
************************
Don't let what you are doing now get in the way of who you truly are. Who you are and what you are doing right now, doesn't mean you have to be that way forever. If you put a label on yourself, make sure it can be peeled off and replaced with a better one. Rethink what image you have of yourself and then begin to create a new image of yourself as you want to be and begin to work towards it.
~ Edward W. Smith

Daily Teaching from The Power
On the other hand, if you negatively affect another person so much that the person goes on to negatively affect someone else, then the negativity will return to you in full. You will receive it back in the form of negative circumstances affecting money, your career, your health, or your relationships. Whatever you give to another, you give yourself.
"When you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."
~ Marcus Aurelius (121-180)
Roman Emperor
