Deliberate Creators' Corner

February is the month of love! We’re just past Valentine’s Day, when our thoughts and attention are on romantic love. Many people feel that romantic love is the highest form of love. While it certainly feels good, is healthy and rewarding, there is actually a higher, more certain love that comes from within us and enhances all of our relationships, including the one with ourselves.

In her book Love for No Reason: 7 Steps to Creating a Life of Unconditional Love, Marci Shimoff talks about the difference between “love for good reason” and “love for no reason”. She states:

“Love for good reason has some limitations. The main problem is that its linked to reasons, and if those reasons change, your love usually changes too……you may feel attached, jealous, afraid of loosing the object of your love, or you may feel satisfied but still there’s something missing. …..Love for no reason is Higher Love, an inner state of pure love that doesn’t depend on other people, external conditions or circumstances.
When you love for no reason you bring love to your outer experiences rather than try to extract love from them.” continue reading…

So, you’ve been trying out the law of attraction and it just isn’t working for you.  You are wondering, “What’s going on?  Why is it taking so long?”  You begin to think this stuff just doesn’t work, or maybe it does for other people, but somehow you’re special and it just doesn’t work for you.

Here is one area you might explore

When you get together with friends or even when you listen to the self-talk in your own head, what story do you notice you are telling about your life or circumstances?  Are you focused on your clear, bright vision of your ideal life?  Are you feeling it and speaking of it as though it is already here?  Are you feeling the essence of why you want it?
Or–are you rehashing the past or stressing about the future?  Are you complaining, coming up with all the reasons why you can’t have what you want?  Do you subscribe to the misery loves company club?  When people ask how you are, what do you tell them?  continue reading…

My son just sent me this quote that he saw on a public restroom wall:

Until there is commitment, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.  Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.  All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.  A whole stream of events issues forth from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.  Whatever you can do, or dream you can begin it.  Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (English translation) continue reading…

Valentine’s Day has just passed and most of us have been focused on romance and our loved ones.  Romantic love is a wonderful thing! It feels good! But is it the highest form of love that we can aspire to?

According to Marci Shimoff, author of the best selling book, Love for No Reason: 7 Steps to Creating a Life of Unconditional Love, there is, in fact, a higher state of love that comes from within us.  We can learn new habits and techniques to get in touch with this empowered form of love just like we learn to play tennis or the piano.   When we are generating love from our Source, we can experience love no matter what is going on in our lives.  We are able to bring love to situations, rather than try to extract love from other people or situations.  continue reading…

Wallace Watles, in his book, the Science of Getting Rich, states, “Give everyone more in use value than you take from him in cash value. Then you are adding to the life of the world by every business transaction.”

Mr.Wattles was talking about a spirit of giving, of understanding that each person’s success adds to every other person’s success. There is no need to “drive sharp bargains” or deal with people unfairly. When we see the success of another and feel thrilled for them, we have truly come into our own alignment and understanding of the connection we all share. When someone is successful in their endeavors, it sends out an energy that literally circulates the earth and is available for anyone to tap into. Mr. Wattles, among many other teachers, tells us that the supply is not limited. there is more than enough for all and when we act in a spirit of cooperation and collaboration, rather than competition, everyone benefits.

More and more, businesses are coming to understand this. It is a process of change that takes time, but it is happening. In this spirit of collaboration, I have been invited to participate in a huge Self Improvement Giveaway Event, where hundreds of people have offered free gifts in order to help others succeed! I have offered two gifts and there are many more amazing gifts in many categories!

Here we are at the start of a new year, when everything feels fresh and possible! It is the time when we traditionally set those New Year’s Resolutions, hoping that this year we’ll finally follow through. So why is it that within the first month, nearly 90% of all people have abandoned them? What if there was a way you could exponentially increase the likelihood of your resolutions coming to be?

Very simply, when we set our resolutions from a place forcing ourselves because we think we  “should” do something, we will never be able to stick with it.  It feels like resistance and that feeling is your clue to the fact that you are not heading toward what you want.  Resistance feels like contraction, not expansion. continue reading…

By now we are in the middle of the holiday season. How are you doing?

While we love the spirit of the season–the focus on love, giving, friendship and family–it is also a time of increased stress for many people. I can remember thinking, as a beleaguered, underpaid teacher that I just wanted the holidays to be over. The increased number of tasks and expenses drained the joy out of it for me. Holiday times are also a sharp reminder of the absence of loved ones who may have passed and a time when we may have challenging family members to deal with.

So how do we cope with all of this and align with the joy and love that is the intention of this season? continue reading…

Long before we get to the table laden with turkey,
cranberry sauce and over-sweet yams, we are
face-to-face with the challenge of gratitude all
month long. For most of the year we can duck and
dodge the pressures of thankfulness, and most
people do – openly admitting to having a terrible
time accepting compliments, much less the larger
implications of being truly loved.

So the questions must be asked: Why do we have
such a difficult and sometimes painful time
receiving the blessings of other people’s affection,
admiration and sincere love? What is so powerful
that it so often fiercely defends against the
uptake of that which would transform our insecurities,
reduce our anxieties, and feed our comfort and
creativity in the world? What makes us work so
tenaciously to play ourselves down, fighting off
the praise that knocks so loudly at our door? continue reading…
