It may not be what I prefer, but it is always perfect!
By Jan Janzen

 I think of those words every single day as events unfold in my own life and in the lives of my friends and clients.
I walked past a building last week where I had filled out a rental application to live over 18 months ago. As I approached the condo I heard the harsh sound of metal hitting metal. Some months earlier, the wooded lot had been completely bulldozed to make room for a high-rise complex. The noise I heard was the sound of the pilings being driven into the ground by heavy duty machinery.

When I looked at the suite, the building was facing a wooded lot and the condo was gorgeous. I really had wanted to live there. I thought it was perfect! However, my application was declined, as the owner didn't want a single, self-employed woman living in his condo. I was disappointed and a bit frustrated with the whole condo hunting ordeal!

However, last week I couldn't help but be incredibly grateful for the word NO to my application. It wasn't what I preferred at the time, but was it ever perfect! I cannot even begin to imagine doing my coaching and healing work with the sound of construction right outside my window. And of course I found the absolutely exquisite condo where I now live. Listening to the sound of the creek lull me to sleep every night, watching the fascinating birds that live in the forest surrounding me has been almost heavenly.

How many times have you felt cheated, disappointed, angry or upset because something didn't work out just the way you thought it should? Have you pouted and cried, whined and complained because you didn't get what you wanted? Have you ever noticed how many times it has worked out perfectly in the end?
One of my clients wanted to promote a certain company. After a lengthy discussion, we agreed that although it might appear to be a quick fix to a rather serious predicament, it wasn't feeling right to me at all. My client decided to forgo the opportunity, albeit it with some reservations and misgivings. Not two months later, the company experienced a setback that would have put my client in a very precarious position, from a reputation point of view, and a potential financial setback. The decision to hold off, wait and see was not what my client would have preferred but it was perfect.

I remember clearly the heartache and the sobbing when my husband of 18 years decided to leave our marriage. I cried like my heart would break and I even recall saying that I would rather die than live without him. Today, looking back more than six years later, it has been perfect, but definitely not what I would have preferred.
Why is this attitude that everything is perfect desirable? Doesn't it seem a bit Pollyanna? Perhaps at first glance. But think about this.

First of all, it moves you into a place of trust and optimism. When things don't work out the way I think they should, I actually get excited to see how the Universe is going to work it out and I anticipate that it will be better than I ever expected! When I move into that place of excitement, my energy shifts from fear and disappointment to eager expectation and that is a wonderful feeling.

Secondly, as I have noted so many examples in my life and in my client's lives, what oftentimes seemed like a disaster, absolutely the worst catastrophe, has been the best thing that could have happened. The odds are definitely in favor of being perfect from what I have seen and experienced!
Thirdly, as time is my most precious asset, why would I waste a ton of time and energy hoping to change what I can't change? I couldn't change my husband's mind - believe me, I tried. I couldn't argue with the landlord who didn't want me living in his suite. I could only change my reaction which is exactly what I did.
Is it always easy to see things as perfect? No, it takes some practice. But it is worth it. Next time, you don't get what you want, immediately go into the thought process, 'Well I wonder what great thing is going to happen? I am so excited to see what is in store for me.'
Having that attitude will change everything. Seriously!

The Vibrational Universe

By Kenneth MacLean

Your beliefs establish your creative range. In other words, your beliefs establish the parameters of what you can have. Joe is a person who does not believe himself capable of having money, so the lower range of his possible manifestation will be, “I can make enough to survive” and the top of his range might be, “I always have enough to pay the bills, with a little left over.” If you are like Ted Turner, however, you may consider it your God given right to have a few billion dollars. Mr. Turner’s range of possible manifestation is orders of magnitude greater than Joe’s.
It is impossible to create and manifest beyond the boundaries of your beliefs. This is one of the most important principles in the Universal Operating System (see the book The Vibrational Universe for details).

Your beliefs are established by the broad, general (but powerful) decisions you make about yourself. “I am fun loving.” “I am intelligent.” “I am a loving person.” “I am poor and I’ll always be poor.” These sorts of powerful I AM statements establish states of being. A state of being is a decision about what (or how) to BE. States of being are vitally important, for from them proceed your beliefs, thoughts and attitudes about yourself, others, and life itself.

more specific. Here is where the role of thoughts comes in. Thoughts establish the specifics of your desires.
A desire comes forth quickly from a state of being. The decision, “I am fun loving” will lead to many desires. “I like to make people laugh.” “I like to make up and learn new jokes.” “I want to write them down so I don’t forget.” “Now I have a routine I can perform to make others laugh.” “I would like to be a professional comedian.” Etc. The list is probably endless!

Your thoughts determine the precise nature of what you will eventually manifest. “I’ll get a job at the Improv, even if I have to be a janitor.” “I’ll listen every night to the performers and learn how to perform a comedy routine.” “I’ll get an agent and a publicist and tour the comedy circuit.” Etc. If your thoughts are lined up with your desires, then your life experiences will be a match to your desires. If they are not, you will experience something different. “I want to be a comedian but I don’t think I’m funny enough.” “I can’t make enough money being a comedian.” Etc. These thoughts are not a match to your desire, and in fact are self–limiting, causing you to feel negative emotion and fail to take the actions that will guarantee success. These thoughts also shut off the flow of life force energy and cause blockages and distortions in your human energy field.

If you do not determine precisely what you want, then what you manifest will be fuzzy as well. “I want a car,” is a lot different than, “I want a silver Toyota Camry with a blue interior and a CD player.” The former might lead to manifestation of an old junker!
Your emotions and feelings are a perfect mirror to what you think and what you believe. Your feelings tell you whether you are, in this moment, treading the correct path which will lead to the manifestation of your desires. Your emotions tell you whether you are aligning properly to the goals you have set for yourself.

You are ALWAYS creating something, because you are always thinking and doing. It is absolutely vital to understand the powerful role of thought not only in the creative process, but in life. Many people do not realize that life itself is a creative process! They do not realize that the universe and everything in it is continually responding to them, but it is! The only way to prove that to yourself is to become more aware of what you're thinking and how that relates to your actions and the manifestations you receive. Once you become aware of that connection, you will experience a quantum leap in self-confidence and personal power.

Vibrational Frequency: Ten Signs You've Raised Yours

By Julia Rogers Hamrick

The level of vibrational frequency at which you are operating is determined by the degree to which you are in alignment with Source, and allowing Source energy—Life Force, which is also known as “Love”—to move freely through you. You align with Source by obeying your inner guidance above all other voices, and you move Life Force through you by loving—by radiating the Love you receive from Source, out to your world.

As we choose to honor the voice of God within us, and allow Love to radiate from us, our vibrational frequency is elevated. When we raise our vibrational frequency, our world changes. Our perceptions are heightened and our ability to stay in the flow increases. Our desire to conform with anything that is not in alignment with Who We Are declines dramatically, and our life becomes about expanding and embracing joy. Here are ten symptoms of operating at higher frequency:

1. Synchronicities have increased in your experience and you view them as “cosmic winks” and signs that you are on the right track
2. You are more patient and compassionate and able to offer Love more consistently
3. You see more and more clearly that you are, indeed, the Creator of everything in your experience—and you embrace that with gusto!
4. Instead of inconveniences, you are now more likely to see unplanned events as opportunities
5. Your choices in how you spend your time have changed and you no longer relate to some activities, companions, and entertainment choices you once enjoyed
6. Your awareness of what is in alignment with your Truth is sharpened, and you are more and more willing to let go of whatever—and whomever—is not in alignment
7. Things that were once problems have faded into the distance or disappeared altogether

1. Your ego-need to control what happens is greatly diminished
2. You are frequently joyful for no apparent reason!
