Bottom line – it always comes down to finding for YOURSELF what feels better. For you, that might mean including others desires for you in your action plan. Or it might mean not.

I learned over a lot of years that taking action to satisfy others was a seriously losing proposition – I never was successful at it. So I figured if what they wanted me to do wasn’t working for them, then at least ONE of us ought to be happy. Which made it much easier to leave them out of the equation as I made future decisions.

Turns out they just wanted me to be happy, too, and so they’re not really complaining that I didn’t do it their way. Or if they are, they’re not complaining to me.

I’ll reiterate, though, Michael – just head in the direction that feels better to you, whatever that is. A little bit of relief makes a big difference.

Much love to you …

The reason those things work is because it isn’t the action that matters – it’s how we FEEL that matters. So ANY action (or inaction) that makes us feel better is taking us in the right direction.

Thanks for posting links to your tunes! People deserve to hear your great music!!

As for links to music:

My first LOA piece of music, ‘All Good Things’, is at: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_music.cfm?bandID=547305

And my mainstream stuff is at: http://www.myspace.com/pickettweb

…enjoy!

In conjunction with the ‘Duh’ article…I’m being as intentional as I can to relax into the whole thing…

Following any inspiration that hits makes it THAT much easier to feel the good feelings.

And next time post a link to your music!! LOA practitioners will LOVE it!

I think any affirmation can work, as long as you feel the good feelings behind it. I remember reading a ton of Louise Hay, and affirmations didn’t seem to work for me. Once I learned that you needed an emotional touchstone in there, it started to come together!

You’re doing great – with even greater things in store. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

So yeah…that’s one of MY favorites as well!

much love,

I repeated that one over and over when my foster dog Roxxie re-broke her leg, and believe it or not, it turned out to be REALLY good news.

And when I didn’t have clients but I was ready for them, I repeated things like “They’re finding me,” “Everywhere I turn, there’s a new client sending me money,” and “My coaching services are in high demand.” Completely untrue at the time – but with repetition and doing what I could to feel good (creating alignment) – they all became true. Ridiculously so.

One of my favorite clients told me last night that she creates her world with her words (you’re Landmark trained – you’ve heard that before, right?) and she really is deliberate about what words she speaks. (I have to say every client is one of my favorite clients, since I only work with favorites. hee hee)

In fact, that was another affirmation I used in building my practice – that I cherry picked clients. lol I do!!!!

Does sometimes it seem like knowing and using LOA is an unfair advantage? lol Like we’re not suffering as much as we should? Luckily I don’t believe we’re supposed to suffer, so all it does is make me giggle.

Thanks for posting here, Michael. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that as you continue retraining your old thought patterns you’ll have more good news to report.

Namaste, my friend.
