I know, I know

"And you just cannot afford the luxury of sloppily looking anywhere the loudest bell that is ringing is asking you to look, and at the same time practice the Art of Allowing."

I know, I know, I know.

Sloppy thinking wreaks havoc in escrow land. Sometimes it's soooooooo tempting to slip back into a feeling whose detrimental effect has clearly been established - why is that? What is it about a familiar feeling, even if it's a negative one, that brings so much perceived comfort? How can a chemical trigger in my neuro pathways be so actively working against my best interests?

Fortunately, I'm not up to indulging this yearning in feeling land - it's just not worth it. The bell doesn't retain its original decibel levels, so the siren call isn't as compelling as it once was. With a wistful last look, I turn and walk away into the sunset, preferring to further entrench a trail in new territory than navigating these old useless ruts again.

Sigh.

Not only do I not want the big unpleasant events in my life, I don’t want the little unpleasant events in my life. - And we say: when you decide that you are going to allow wellbeing into your experience, then you must decide that you are going to focus in areas that feel like Wellbeing when you focus there. And you just cannot afford the luxury of sloppily looking anywhere the loudest bell that is ringing is asking you to look, and at the same time practice the Art of Allowing. . . . Art of Allowing says: look for things that feel good, comment on things that feel good, ponder things that feel good, imagine things that feel good, remember things that feel good, focus upon things that feel good, SET UP A VIBRATION THAT FEELS GOOD AND ATTRACT ONLY THAT WHICH FEELS GOOD. --Abraham

like it is Tell it like it is if you like it like it is. But if you don’t like it like it is, then don’t tell it like it is–tell it like you want it to be. If you tell it like you want it to be, long enough, you will begin to feel it like you want it to be, and when you feel it like you want it to be, it be’s like you want it to be.
