So nice to see you here again!

I Love your analogy about the baggage on the conveyor belt! We wouldn’t even think of picking up someone else’s baggage off that conveyor belt — Yet many times we pick up someone else’s thoughts/belief off the conveyor belt of our minds!

If those thoughts are serving you – if they make you feel good — then by all means – go ahead and pick them up – utilize them and make then yours! (not the luggage – the thoughts! )

But so many times we pick up the thoughts/beliefs that are not serving us. And Yes – We have a choice. And that choice is the Power of Now!

I have found a great way to change those thoughts are by using the 4 questions – Those questions are in this article – http://livingthelawofattraction.com/loa-blog/rewrite-old-stories/

And…. we are always – all ways – doing well – as it doesn’t matter what happened five minutes ago — all that matters is right Now! We are here on this journey for the Joy of it!

Thanks so much for sharing! Have a Great Weekend!

Having been studying/following the teachings of Abraham for about 4 years now, I find that I understand and “know” aspects of what they say at different levels – some deeper than others – and some same aspects grow deeper and deeper as I live them. That is, the “knowing” gets deeper.

And what you have addressed here is one of those aspects. The POWER that each and every one of us exercises everyday either by intent or by “neglect” is mind-blowing. Everything that we experience, we create. And I must say, that many, many times, I do not know where the dopey little annoying detours come from much – maybe most – of the time. Your article has certainly made me more mindful of how these things get created, by sloppy thinking, as Abraham says. Whereas I am no guru — as yet – and have certainly not eliminated that sloppy thinking from my living, I can certainly be more mindful of it and flip it around more quickly. You see, I thought I was doing pretty well, but I realize that maintaining positivity can be improved and requires my attention.

There is another area where this tremendous POWER came through to me lately. It involves a very finely-tuned insight, so I hope I can make my point. I have been easy on myself when I encounter beliefs that require extra work to turn around because I have been thinking/believing them for many years, and most were handed down to me from someone else – some other source. So, I made the excuse – well, this is someone else’s baggage I’m carrying around that I need to “work” on. All of a sudden, I realized lately that I do not have to “work” on this baggage at all. I merely have to reject it as not mine. Just as I don’t pick someone else’s suitcase off the conveyor belt at the airport, I no longer have to pick these old tapes, these old beliefs off the conveyor belt in my mind when the subject comes up that pertains to those beliefs. I can make up my own mind and develop new, more functional beliefs NOW. And these new beliefs will push the old “baggage” right off the conveyor belt. The POWER of NOW!! That concept is so true and has ratcheted my optimism to a new level of joy. Thank you for bringing up this topic.

The first step in letting go of those so-called little things – is to do just as you are doing… Recognizing them — Once we are aware of them – we can start to fine tune our vibrations around them….

As for other people — Well that is usually Big Stuff for folks!

As you said – we can’t change another person’s reality. If they have decided something is big stuff and we comment that it isn’t — Hmmm that can certainly get someone ticked off!!

Dealing with people – is a topic all by itself — I can not do it any justice here in this comment area… So – I promise I will start a topic about this – give me a few days.

I know – I need to let people have their own reality. It is not my job to change it for them – nor do I want to see it as they do.

I keep trying to address this in short sentences — I can’t do it! You have brought up a great topic Paul — I’ll be back to talk about it!
