You can begin right now to feel healthy. You can begin to feel prosperous. You can begin to feel the love that's surrounding you, even if it's not there. And what will happen is the universe will correspond to the nature of your song. The universe will correspond to the nature of that inner feeling and manifest, because that's the way you feel. 
 
So what are you feeling now? Take a few moments to think about how you feel. If you're not feeling as good as you'd like to, focus on feeling your feelings inside and purposefully lift them. As you focus intensely on your feelings, with the intention to lift yourself, you can powerfully elevate them. One way is to close your eyes (shutting out distractions), focus on your feelings inside, and smile for one minute.
 
It's hard to swallow, but when we can begin to open ourselves up to that, the ramifications are awesome. It means that whatever thought has done in your life, it can be undone through a shift in your awareness.
 
You have the power to change anything, because you are the one who chooses your thoughts and you are the one who feels your feelings.

I absolutely believe this Bernie . . . absolutely.
. . . absolutely.
It's that pesky little ego
that tries to hold us back.

I wrote some time ago in another thread that I believe that happiness is a choice!

Perhaps, as the humanistic thinkers say, happiness is mainly a by-product of living successfully ... living productively in the human sense.

The Secret






Another pithy excerpt from The Secret which is so needed today & is eternally valid for all people, all times:

How do you get yourself to a point of believing? Start make-believing. Be like a child, and make-believe. Act as if you have it already. As you make-believe, you will begin to believe you have received. The Genie is responding to your predominant thoughts all the time, not just in the moment you ask. That's why after you've asked, you must continue to believe and know. Have faith. Your belief that you have it, that undying faith, is your greatest power. When you believe you are receiving, get ready, and watch the magic begin!

You can have what you want - if you know how to form the mold for it in your own thoughts. There is no dream that may not come true, if you but learn to use the Creative Force working through you. The methods that work for one will work for all. The key to power lies in using what you have ... freely, fully ... and thus opening wide your channels for more Creative Force to flow through you.

(Robert Collier, American writer, The Secret of the Ages and Riches within Your Reach, whose extensive research into metaphysics and on his own personal belief that success and happiness and abundance are easily and rightfully attainable by everyone.)

Dear Bernie,
Yes, I have known about and tried to practise this for a number of years now. I know it works, but it isn't as easy as it sounds!
For one thing, you have to believe it without a shadow of a doubt, and putting those inevitable doubts out of your mind is one of the hard bits. Having said that, once you have started earnestly to do this, you do feel better about your situation, and that in itself helps to alter and improve it.
 
Thank you,
Jude
Love is the only way

So true, but if one continues focusing positively, pin-pointedly, eventually everything changes, transforms itself for the better; yes, no matter how bleak & awful things may seem to be at times... the rainbow will certainly appear & all of Life in all its manifestations will radiate & glow w/ love & promise!

It puts the responsibility back on us
doesn't it . . .
this happiness thing.
We always seem to want to find the answers from without,
when all along they are within . . .
just a thought
with much love . . .
