NOT HAPPY? ASK FOR HIGHER HELP!

"... if you let the mind ask its questions, then the heart will rise with the answer. The heart will reveal the answer, and the mind can finally rest at home in the heart and come to see that it and the heart are one."

Hi Patrice,

I was getting anxious a few days ago because it has been a few weeks since I had sent a 'word of heart' message. I realized that I had been saying to myself, "I'm not inspired to share anything." As our thinking creates our reality, what happens with a thought like this? I wasn't inspired to share anything!

With the dawning of this understanding, I turned the situation around. I asked higher guidance for inspiration. The very next day, just as I started my journaling, I immediately had a thought for an article. In fact, ideas came through for three articles.

I asked -- and I received.

If we want life to work for us, we need to become conscious of our thoughts and attitudes. I find success when I follow these basic steps:
- Ask for what I want.
- Open to receive what I have asked for.
- Be willing to trust -- to believe -- that it will come.

I know that trust doesn't come easily for some of us. But if we are not willing to trust, what message are we sending out? Distrust!

Chances are we are thinking: "I never get what I want" or "I don't deserve to get what I want." What does life do with thinking like that? It doesn't give us what we want -- because this is in fact what we asked for. We have sabotaged ourselves.

I encourage you to take a leap of faith. Are you willing to give these steps a try? What do you have to lose?
