“For every single thing that you want, there are 20 or 30 or 40 available avenues open right now - right now. To lead you closer to what you want right now. They’re there, ready to pop, with you just turning downstream.
But, the problem with you being turned upstream is that you’re good at the ‘upstream habit’, and you’ve got to develop the ‘downstream habit’.
And when you start developing the ‘downstream habit’, people are gonna say, ‘Ah, what have you done? It’s like all that stuff was lined up outside your door. How did you get the door open?’
Avalanches of things you’ve been wanting begin coming into your experience.
You say, ‘Well, I just stopped worrying about it not happening and then it started happening.
I just started playing the positive ‘what if’ game, instead of the negative ‘what if’ game.
I started feeling optimistic and not so pessimistic.
I praised more and criticized less.
I stopped beating up on myself and started loving myself more.
I looked for reasons to feel good.
I breathed deeply and took more walks.
And I said, thank you for this planet, thank you for this Earth, thank you for this body, thank you for this stomach, thank you for this oxygen, thank you, thank you, thank you.
I just got in this mindset of appreciation of all the magnificent things that are working for me, and when I activated that, then everything started working for me.’” ❤️ - Abraham Hicks
