When we talk about the Law of Attraction and creating our own reality, people sometimes make it far more complicated than it needs to be.
So let’s simplify it.
Reality begins with what we observe. We see people’s behaviour. We see circumstances. We see what is happening in our bank account. We capture information through our five senses, and then we process that information based on connections we have made in the past.
Those connections are our beliefs.
​
For example, I see my mother raise one eyebrow. I don’t know how people do that, by the way. Some people are so good at raising just one eyebrow. But I see that eyebrow go up and immediately think, she’s upset.
Why?
​
Because somewhere along the way I made a connection: when my mother raises her eyebrow, she is upset.
But here is the important distinction.
My mother raising her eyebrow is a fact.
The meaning I give that raised eyebrow is my perception.
The same thing happens with money. The fact might be that my bank account is empty. My perception might be, I don’t have the money to pay my bills.
Those are not the same thing.

We have to take ownership of everything because taking ownership of everything is what literally makes us deliberate creators. If we keep saying that something happened in our life because of another person, then we are basically saying that that other person is creating in my life, which then means that I am not a deliberate creator because someone else is creating in my life. But each of us is a deliberate creator.

Deliberate creation means that I create in my own life.

We may have blamed other people in the past, but the only reason we did that was because we did not know how it really works. Now that we do know, now that we understand how it works, it is up to us to take ownership. ​

You know the moment.
You decided this morning that today was going to be different.
You were going to eat healthy.
You were going to drink your water.
You were going to go for your walk.
You were going to make good choices.
You were ready! Your intentions were clear.
And then somebody put cookies in the kitchen.
Not sad looking cookies..
Delicious cookies.

Let's talk about making money in the context of careers. And a career could be a business career, entrepreneurial career, or it could be a job. It doesn't matter because a lot of people become extremely wealthy from jobs, and a lot of people struggle with their businesses. Their business basically is a substitute for having a job.

So, you see, the very first belief that I want you to step away from is that one is better than the other. A job is better than a business, or a business is better than a job.

People have created so many beliefs about these things. For example, people who have jobs, or business people who have left the corporate world, will say, "Well, I didn't like the lack of freedom in my business. At least I have freedom."

But I'm going to poke a hole in that argument and say, "No, that's not correct."
​
Because a lot of jobs offer a ton of freedom as well. And there are a lot of businesses that hold their owners hostage because the owner is always on the clock. They can never sign off.
Whatever you want, whatever will make you happy, the universe has the wherewithal to provide through a job and equally through a business. One is not better than the other.

​Both have the capacity to satisfy you completely, to give you what you want from it in terms of the money that you want, in terms of the freedom that you want, in terms of the growth that you want, in terms of the self-actualization and satisfaction that you want.

​Our heart is where our intention lies.
Our mind is where our attention lies.
Intention is very important because intention is the goal. X marks the spot. That is your intention. Bur energy flows where attention goes - what you give your energy to is what manifests.
Attention has to be on the intention in order for the intention to manifest.
Whenever we go on an adventure, whenever we go looking for something, X marks the spot. We have to find our way there. We have to stay focused on the X that marks the spot.

Prayer is communication. It is communication with God, or the universe, or whatever holy entity you believe in.But here is something that most people don’t realize about prayer.
You can pray and be in step one of the manifesting process.
You can pray and be in step two.
And you can pray and be in step three.
The manifesting process is very simple. It has three steps.

One of the biggest mistakes we make in relationships is that we link love to behavior.
We think that if we stop doing certain things for people, they will stop loving us. We think that if they stop doing certain things for us, then clearly they must not care. And that is where the misunderstanding begins. Because the real link is not with behavior - it is with vibration.
If you make the connection between love and behavior, then what you are really saying is this: as long as I keep doing these things for you, you will care about me. And if I stop, then you won’t. That is not a relationship. That is a transaction.

Thoughts create emotion. Then the emotion creates a thought. Then the thought creates an emotion. Then the emotion creates a thought. And it just keeps going on and on and on, never stopping.
But we can change it.
Words don’t matter you see. It’s the vibration that leads to manifestation.
What is the vibration?
Vibration is the energy that is exuded by our physical body - it is caused by emotion. So it’s the emotion that matters. The frequency, the energy that goes out into the universe that brings us things in response - that is emotion.

​Thinking patterns are addictive.
This is not just a idea. It is something we are living every single day without realizing it. The way you think has become a habit, and like any habit, it runs automatically unless you consciously interrupt it.
So if you learned to doubt, you will doubt.
If you learned to question everything until you have proof, then even in your relationships you will say, “I will believe that you love me when you prove it to me.”
And in that moment, there is no trust.

​In an Abe video, Esther was talking about how she received a furniture delivery one morning. The furniture arrived damaged. Then, a week later, she got another furniture delivery, and again it was damaged. She realized she hadn’t cleaned up the vibration of receiving it the first time.

So the question is: what does “clean it up” actually mean? When something happens, how do you immediately clean it up?
Here’s what it means. If something upsets you, a negative belief has been activated. That’s what needs to be cleaned up. You don’t clean up the event. You diffuse the negative momentum behind it.
