A Note from Lisa Nichols

Dear Carroll Wright,

Are you committed to your possibility...
or your past?

If you want to attract a fulfilling love relationship into your life, you better commit to possibility.

So often people looking for love haven't readied themselves for the prospect. Women waiting for "Mr. Right" to show up haven't become "Mrs. Right" yet. Men searching for their "dream woman" might not be so dreamy themselves.

Remember, the Law of Attraction states "like attracts like." You can't expect someone to come in and make you right, fix you up, and make you whole.

You have to be the person you want to
attract. You have to be the person you want to date, the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

If you're already in a committed relationship or married, listen up, too, because this is important. Last week we talked about how critical it is to express gratitude for everything in your life -- even your difficult relationships. Remember? "I am grateful for the opportunity to create a better relationship with my spouse."

A big part of creating a better relationship or attracting a perfect mate is making yourself ready for love. That work requires owning your past, the good and the bad, dealing with it, being grateful for it, and moving on to your possibility.

Getting ready for love is an active process that comes with laughter, comes with confrontation, comes with tears, comes with surrender, comes with prayer, comes with belief, comes with forgiveness... it comes with everything.

Be grateful for every experience you've come through, and those are key words -- come through -- because they've helped to make you the person you are today.

That's the work. That's when the universe says, "Oh, hey, Lisa is over there and she's making a shift. She's changing the way she's relating to her life. Okay, let's get ready, because something is about to happen. In a moment she is going to make a bold, outrageous request, and she's ready, because she finally believes she is worthy of healthy, long-term, God-like love."

Your job is to be whole and complete in you so that when you're ready, the universe is sure to say, "Here you go. Here is everything you want!"

So go and do the work -- right now. Stay committed to your possibility.

I love you,

Lisa Nichols

Gratitude

Get more in life by being grateful - how gratitude (and my gratitude rock) are changing my life. I know Oprah talked about the Secret recently has always talked about having a gratitude journal. I suck at journaling. I could never stick to it. But I have found something simple to help me remember to be grateful. It’s called a gratitude rock.

In January I attended Marica Weider’s Dream Coach program and one of the things she gave us was our own gratitude rock. If you have watched the Secret, they talk about a gratitude rock.

Here’s the story.

A man in the US had a visitor from Africa, his son was very sick. He gave the man a special gift called a gratitude rock and told him to everyday hold onto the rock and think about all he has to be grateful for. And within a few weeks, an amazing thing happened. The man’s son got better!

Now this African man lived in a very poor village. And when he told of the miracles that happened because of his gratitude rock and by taking time to be grateful everyday, the whole village went to find their own gratitude rocks. They started a gratitude rock business and now the whole town is doing well financially. All of this change happened because of a positive change in focus. Instead of looking at their problems, they focused on what they had. And that alone started transforming their whole life.

I believe that we get more of what we focus on in life. I am living proof that the power of gratitude works. My husband lost his job a week ago and because we focused on our blessings and were positive, not only does he already have a new job, but it’s for more money than he was making before.

I don’t know what your beliefs are, whether you pray to Buddha, God, the Universe etc, but if you change your mindset to focus on being thankful for what you have, the Law of Attraction helps you attract more abundance in your life.

To me, it’s like when you give your kid a new toy and they are so grateful. If your child has that great attitude, appreciates the gift, and takes care of it, doesn’t it makes you want to give them more? Well, I see God (or the Universe) as equally abundant. When we are grateful for what we have, take care of it, use our resources wisely, we are given more.

Will you join me in 30 days of gratitude? I’m going be grateful every morning for 30 days. Let’s all do it together and see what kind of transformation comes in our lives.
