People talk about the reality of their life as if it is important. And we want you to understand, it’s only the temporary indicator. Do you go to the gas station—your gas gauge is on empty—do you go to the gas station and look at your gas gauge in horror? “How did this happen? [Fun] Why, why, why did this happen to me?” Do you lay your head on the steering wheel and just sob? “Oh, look what it’s come to. [Fun] I’m finished. I’ve lived all of this life, and look where I am.” Or do you just fill up.

You have to begin to tell the story of your life as you now want it to be and discontinue the tales of how it has been or of how it is.

So the Pivoting Process is simply: Whenever you recognize that you are feeling a negative emotion (it is really that you are feeling the lack of harmony with something that you want), the obvious thing for you to do is to stop and say, I’m feeling negative emotion, which means I am not in harmony with something that I want. What do I want?

Those moments in your life when you feel absolute exhilaration are moments of complete alignment with the Source within you.

While your parents and teachers are, for the most part, well-meaning people, they are nevertheless more interested in your finding ways to please them than in your finding ways to please yourself. And so, in the process of socialization, almost all people in almost all societies lose their way because they are coaxed or coerced away from their own Guidance System.

You actually only have two choices in emotion: a better-feeling one or a worse-feeling one. SO you could accurately say that there are really only two emotions, and you effectively utilize your Guidance System when you deliberately choose the better-feeling of those two options.

There is no better way to earn money than to do the things that you love to do. Money can flow into your experience through endless avenues. It is not the choice of the craft that limits the money that flows, but only your attitude toward money.

Most of you are much closer to a financial fortune than you are even allowing yourself to purely desire, because, in the thought that it might come, you right away begin thinking of how disappointed you will be if it does not come. And so, in your lackful thought, you do not allow yourself to desire or to expect anything magnificent in terms of money; and that is the reason why, for the most part, you are living rather mediocre financial experiences.

If we were talking to you on your first day of physical experience, we could be of great advantage to you because we would say, “Welcome to planet Earth. There is nothing you cannot be or do or have. And your work here—your lifetime career—is to seek joy.

The most valuable skill that you could ever develop is the skill of directing your thoughts toward what you want--to be adept at quickly evaluating all situations and then quickly coming to the conclusion of what you most want--and then giving your undivided attention to that.

Shortage of time is not your problem. Shortage of money is not your problem. Shortage of Connection to the Energy that creates worlds is at the heart of all sensations of shortage that you are experiencing.

You are here to experience outrageous joy.

It is our desire that you become one who is happy with that which you are and with that which you have—while at the same time being eager for more. That is the optimal creative vantage point: To stand on the brink of what is coming, feeling eager, optimistic anticipation—with no feelings of impatience, doubt, or unworthiness hindering the receiving of it—that is the Science of Deliberate Creation at its best.

If you have the ability to imagine it, or even to think about it, this Universe has the ability and the resources to deliver it fully unto you.

As you are moving through such a day, you will feel the power and the momentum of your intentions building; you will find yourself feeling gloriously invincible; you will feel as if there is nothing that you cannot be, do, or have as you are seeing yourself again and again in creative control of your own life experience.

As soon as you are able to deliberately guide your thoughts, not only is it certain that your financial success must improve, but the evidence of *that* success will then prepare you for deliberate improvement in *every* aspect of your life experience.

I know what I do not want; what is it that I do want?

When you focus long enough that you feel passion, you harness more power and you achieve greater results.

There is nothing that you cannot be or do or have once you accomplish the necessary alignment, and when you do, your own life experience will give you the evidence of your alignment.

When you feel negative emotion about anything, it always means that you have a desire that has been born from your personal life experience that you are, right now, opposing with other thoughts.

Resistance is caused by thinking about what you do not want, and that is what makes you tired.

There is nothing more detrimental to your ability to positively attract than a negative attitude toward yourself.

Make statements such as: I want to be the best that I can be. I want to do and have and live in a way that is in harmony with my idea of the greatest goodness. I want to harmonize physically here in this body with that which I believe to the be best, or the good way, of life.

Nothing is more important than that you feel good, for when you feel good, you are in harmony with your greater intent.

The sculptor of a work of art does not derive his greatest satisfaction from the finished piece. It is the process of creation (the sculpting of the piece) that gives him pleasure. That is the way we would like you to view your physical experience of creating: continual, joyful becoming.

If you will bring yourself to a more deliberate control of your own thought, you will bring yourself to a more deliberate control of your own life experience.

Financial success, or any other kind of success, does not require hard work or action, but it does require alignment of thought. You simply cannot offer negative thought about things that you desire and then make up for it with action or hard work.

In the same way that you understand that you do not have to attempt the impossible task of drawing enough air into your lungs to last all day or all week or all year—but instead you easily breathe in and out, always receiving what you want or need whenever you want or need it—money can flow in and out of your experience with the same ease once you achieve that expectation of Eternal Abundance.
