Ladder of Emotions - Living with Carefree Abandon

I attended an Abraham-Hicks seminar yesterday. It was my first. I attended because I, as well as so many others, are working on manifesting things in our lives.

I came away with one primary new perspective --- that you need to be in a current state of content, happiness, appreciation, hopefulness, happiness, and joyfulness in order to manifest. A-H speaks to a 'ladder of emotion' and basically joy is at the top of the list of emotions.

In order to create more good stuff and move downstream towards what you truly want to manifest is easy = but because we humans are always in a mindset of LACK we get more of the same.

I came to the conclusion today that living a LIFE OF CAREFREE ABANDON is, at least for me, a way into the right vibratory state of creation and manifestation.

Some years ago I decided to move to Florida. I did this overnight literally. I was spurred to that decision because I wanted to end my commutes during snow storms in Chicago. Might be strange - but nontheless true. So I woke the next morning and told my landlord I was not going to resign my apratment lease in the Fall. I went into work and told my manager I would be leaving the company (after 15 years) at the end of September. This was on 2/15 /1990.

From that point on I worked towards making that move happen. I never looked back. At the same time, I decided to loose weight - the weight came off like magic ... 15 poinds the first week. Every thing worked out as I wanted and I never felt scared or freightened or alone.

I realized today that all that happended because I was in a state of CAREFREE ABANDON for months. Every time someone tried to pooh- pooh my plan I laughed. I did not look for a new job - I trusted I would get one. Everything moved according to plan and I made my move.

For two years afterwards I got more fit, thinner, healthier, gained friends, volunteered, walked every day. I loved being in Florida. And then I got a call from my ex-employer saying the company had restructured and they wanted me to come back in a new role. I again was looking for a new adventure -- and although there were indicators that I ignored I moved back. Within 2 weeks I gained a dress size - a year later I was 2 dress sizes bigger. I was stressed out and not too happy.

And then something happened... My job was gone - it went to Salt Lake City and I got a severance. So I decided to buy a condo, go back to school and get into consulting. Again, I took off weight and got healthy and felt so renewed that I was getting more education. Within a year I doubled my salary and was living a very carefree life.

So today I am wondering what's next. I again desire to loose weight, get fit, make more money and grow my independent business to include working with spiritual gurus like Wayne Dyer and other to create transformational seminars for people like me and you.

I just need something to focus on - to create - to bring new life to myself. I believe that by living with carefree abandon I resonate at the highest level and bring to me everything that I want.
