OPEN TO RECEIVE

Shortly after writing my last blog Being Love, Creates More Love, I realized that in order to have more love, more money, more of anything in our lives we need to be open to receive all of it. It seems that we do a great job in giving to others. We give of our time, money, love, and resources to help others succeed, move forward, and feel comfortable. However, it seems as if when others want to give to us, we close down to some degree. Whether it is a compliment, a gift, love, or money, we tend to say “that’s ok, you do not need to do that.” What are we saying? Are we saying that we are not worthy to receive? Are we saying that we are not lovable, because on some level we know that we really are so lovable? It could be that we were taught to be givers and not receivers, but we can teach ourselves to do both creating a new balance that serves us and others. Maybe opening our hearts by saying a big thank you and accepting the gifts is the key creating this new balance and experiencing our dreams.
In order to manifest our dreams, we need to be open to receive. How is the dream going to be realized if we are shutting the doors to receiving it? After reading the last blog, I began to think about the way that I can give in a big way, but that I only allow myself to receive on a much smaller level. I could see how this imbalance was not serving me to reach my goals and does not align me with my Higher Self that brings forth infinity possibilities when I am open.  I understood that only I can open this door to receive and that the world was waiting for me to open it. In that moment, I proclaimed in my mind and heart that I am fully open to receive my highest good, whether it is the realization of my dreams, money, love or a free lunch. I am open. I bid you to look into the areas of your life that are blocking your ability to openly receive and give yourself permission to receive. You are worthy. You are love. You are able to have your cake and eat it too. It is all available to you when you approach life with an open heart and mind.
May you claim your ability to receive and may this year be the time when you experience all your dreams come to fruition. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

BEING LOVE, CREATES MORE LOVE

In the aftermath of Valentine’s Day I have a few thoughts. Every day provides opportunities to love. Love heals and uplifts our spirit to higher levels of being as an individual and as the human race. Start with looking at yourself each morning and sending love to yourself. Really connect with what you see; love the being in the mirror. Look past the appearance and seek to see the true spirit of God’s love within. If we cannot love ourselves, then we really cannot love another because we are reflecting to others what we feel about our own self.
So let’s align with thoughts, emotions, and actions that is based in love toward us. Let us celebrate the love that we are. This moves us into being able to love others without coming from a place of need, control, or manipulation. Real love is unconditional. Unconditional love allows us to celebrate our partner, family, and friends and anyone without needing anything in return. Unconditional love when experienced by the receiver brings peace, joy and a bliss that sparkles and lifts our being to new heights. For those extending unconditional love, we feel the same. If you would like more love in your life, give more.
Imagine how your world would change when you love yourself. Imagine how your world would change if you could look at others through the lens of unconditional love.
When each person aligns in love our world will change. The collective consciousness will shift the harsh realities on the planet to those that are aligned for the good of all instead of the good of a few. We are each responsible for healing humanity’s downfall and love is the key. When we love, we find solutions that are love based. We lift humanity into realms of knowing and loving and our society moves forward creating new realities that are centered in love for all.
 
ALL FROM LOVE, WITH LOVE FOR ALL

EXPECT THE BEST

This is my motto for this year. Our attitudes, thoughts, and emotions fuel our success or down fall. Even though the outer world may appear to be scary with all the changes that are occurring, a lot of the changes are for the better.
We can go kicking or screaming resisting our destiny. Or we can release our resistance to what is and walk through any situation with courage, faith, and a deeper knowing that we do not see all the forces of good that are working for us.
First we need to surrender our resistance, negative attitudes and over reactions to our current situations. Next we enter the stillness and align ourselves energetically with the Creator’s love, wisdom, and direction. We open ourselves to that which is beyond our ability to understand and we stand in the attitude of expecting the best.
When we release the resistance and open our hearts and minds to the possibility of good occurring, the Universe answers us with the energy and outcomes that support our good. We let it in. It attracts similar energy into our field like a magnet. A good attitude attracts a favorable outcome. The outcome may not be the way that we wanted or expected (that is where the surrendering the resistance to what we see comes in).  
When we resist, we keep the good from entering our radar of reality. We keep attracting energy that resists our good, our greater possibilities. What we attract mirrors our inner and outer thoughts and feelings.
I have always considered myself to be a positive person. However, at one point in my life I got stuck in a negative place. A wonderful that I did not know very well asked me why I was so negative? I was floored. I could not believe what I heard because that is not how I saw myself. She told me to listen to my inner and outer dialogs and make a choice to stay there or change. After listening to the sad stories that I kept telling, I realized that this was not the place where I wanted to be so I consciously chose new words and began aligning with the energy of present, not the past. Each moment we can live in the energy of expecting the best or plant land mines on our journey that will go off at undetermined times because that is the energy that we are creating.
I encourage you to use this motto or some other possible affirmation to keep you aligned in attracting the good that can occur in your life. Post it on your computer, on the bathroom mirror, in your workspace. Keep it there until you naturally begin to expect positive outcomes.
Watch your thoughts for they become your words.
Watch your words for they become your actions.
Watch your actions for they become habits.
Watch your habits for they become your character.
Watch your character for it becomes your destiny.
Expect the Best,
Dawn
