Abraham-Hicks daily law of attraction quotations are a gift to inspire you into each day. They help you to focus on what brings you joy, go after what ignites your desire, search for your own truth and live to according to your beliefs.

Here are some recent daily offerings:

• If you intend to be of assistance, your eye is not upon the trouble but upon the assistance, and that is quite different. When you are looking for a solution, you are feeling positive emotion— but when you are looking at a problem, you are feeling negative emotion. Excerpted from the book - The Law of Attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham 
• Begin telling the story of your desire, and then add to it the details of the positive aspects that you can find that match those desires. And then embellish your positive expectation by speculating with your good-feeling Wouldn't it be nice if . . . ? examples. You can say things like: Only good things come to me. . . I'll figure it out as I go along. . .. Every time you tell your better-feeling story, you will feel better and the details of your life will improve. The better it gets, the better it gets. Excerpted from the book - Money and the Law of Attraction 
• You intended to come forth into the physical realm of contrast to define what is wanted, to connect with the Energy that creates worlds, and to flow it toward your objects of attention, not because the objects of attention are important — but because the act of flowing is essential to life. Excerpted from the Abraham-Hicks workshop in Lincroft, NJ on October 15, 1996
• What you do is miniscule in comparison with what you choose to think, because your vibration is so much more powerful and so much more important. Excerpted from the Abraham-Hicks workshop in Boston, MA on October 20, 1996

power of words to inspire

The word ‘surrender’ peppers the presentations of some spiritually motivated speakers. The hearing of the word conjures conflict, war and drama, which feel less than what a listener would choose to experience in an uplifting presentation.

Why? The study of human history equates surrender with battles, wars and victims of subjugation, a less loving aspect of humanity.

Recently, a dream resolved my discordance with the prolific use of the term ‘surrender’. Here is the short version of the dream:

A friend and I were taking a drive in the country. My window was half way down. She sat calmly in the front passenger seat. The road was two-lane with a yellow line down the middle and white lines along the sides of the pavement. There was a narrow (5’ wide) grassy median on each side that sloped downward.

The road suddenly became an unpredictable terrain with curves and knolls. Trees beyond the grassy median closed into a forest where branches overarched the roadway. The weather changed from a sunny, summery day to a gray wintry challenge.

My coat was in my lap and in it was a pool of water. I lifted the coat through my half-opened window and shook out the liquid. I had lost control of the vehicle and it careened along the highway. Next, the steering wheel was gone. I groped all over the dashboard for a control device, but there was nothing. My friend remained calm through it all, as if she knew the program.

I looked at her and spoke to the effect of, “Thank you, Source, for this opportunity to learn and grow and be safe in the passage.”

The driving conditions had deteriorated so much that the car went into a skid and over a high knoll became airborne. The car was carried about a half-mile to a clear space where it was gently placed onto an empty, plowed parking lot. All was well, as it always is.

My Higher Self communicated with me through the dream by giving me the ‘surrender’ experience so I could describe it in a better feeling way. Surrender means to give up in favor of another. In the dream, I had to let go – release any attachment to the outcome (surrender). So, word substitution supports the better feeling place! (This is the human being’s multidimensional nature at work!)

Each of us searches for meaning. Stand in front of the mirror and look at the vehicle of your free choice.
