Yoda says – Sponge, you must be.

Ever grab an old dried up sponge when you went to soak up a spill? What happened – NOTHING!-  Stupid thing just sat there and spread the water more!   The dried up thing was useless. Why? – Law of Attraction,of course!    Geez, Mike really, c’mon!

Add a little moisture into the sponge, pre-pave the way for MORE moisture, and the sponge will draw in more. Like rain waters racing across dry ground, nothing gets absorbed because the soil repels what it doesn’t have- what it isn’t “like”.

Remember trying to get that first job you wanted, “NO experience? – Sorry-not hiring”.

How bout a loan?  – “You’ve got no $, no collateral, sorry.”  We’ve all heard it takes money to make money, right?

What do you think a seed is?  It’s just a little physical dab of something to prepave the way for more.

Are you In a nasty mood or just not getting your joy on?  Pre-pave YOUR SELF.   Most therapists and spiritual leaders will agree if you’re feeling unappreciated or depressed go  Volunteer somewhere. Do something for someone else, and FEEL what YOU absorb.

Want to feel more Meaning and Peace in your life? Like the Buddhists say, “You can only see your face clearly when the water is still.”   Add just 20 minutes a day of Quiet Time, Meditation, Listening – whatever works for you in your own style – and Enjoy the amount of Peace and Calmness that will be absorbed the rest of the day, though you may be “busy”.

“Be the Change you Want to See” – its more than just a current “earth-freindly- green” bumper sticker.  It’s Law of Attraction. Its Momentum. Its just the way the Universe Flows, baby.

So- go get soaked.  Soak yourself in what you want to see come back to you.

Warning – stalled traffic ahead.

Picture a vast serene field without any roads. Ok, now picture the morning commute as if it had to cross that field. Pretty scary, and yet twistedly entertaining scene, right?

There’s a sports car trying to cross it the quickest way. An old beater car trying to sneak in around the sides.  Somewhere in there is someone focused on what the other drivers think about how his car looks. Most of them are pretty busy just bumbling around worried about hitting other cars or stumps or animals. One is just wanting to follow the blonde in the convertible with her top down. 

There is no pattern of traffic and the Momentum across the field is about zero. Tons of collisions, fender benders and stalled and stuck cars. Not chaotic enough? Fine, now add everyone having a stuck Accelerator to go as fast as each car can go. Really soup up the Velocity of everyone crossing the field and what happens? Yeah, not a pretty picture. 

Doesn’t that sound like our own lives sometimes?  All Velocity and no path, and you get one hot mess. Not fun!   Now, imagine a paved road for all those cars.

• “No road” also helps explain why most people are, believe it or not,  actually NOT happy with many Choices. They find themselves still scattered in their thoughts even AFTER a choice has been made. They still spend energy on wondering if they made the “best” choice, and why the other choice might have been a “better” option. Second-guessing themselves only because they have too many cars with different intentions trying to cross that field. 
• If you find yourself with lots of little Projects partially done, you may find some loose cars riding around in your own field of thought.
• It has everything to do with Forgiveness. Holding on to thoughts, words or deeds that someone else has done “to you”, is just steering more cars OFF the highway to run Continuously in circles through your field of thought.

Remember “A Chicken and some Toilet Paper”?  When you pre-pave your path with Intentions, you’ll have a more comfortable journey crossing the field to where you want. You’ll save time. You’ll succeed. You’ll be less distracted. As Dr. Rao said, you’ll be happier because you are “Investing in your process, not the outcome”. Then, when you accelerate you can really go somewhere!

Don’t make it harder than it is. What do YOU WANT from life?

Listen to those slight (or tugging) wisps of wind that come thru your field of thoughts. Where are they calling?  Intentionally build a road there.
