Rather Than by Default, Live Life Deliberately

We are giving this book to you to remind you of things you already know at some level, so as to

reactivate that vibrational knowledge within you. It is not possible for you to read these words,

which represent the knowledge that you hold from your Broader Perspective, without a recognition

of this knowledge beginning to surface from within.

This really is the time of awakening—the time of remembering your personal power and your

reason for being. So take a deep breath, make an effort to get comfortable, and slowly read the

contents of this book to restore yourself to your original vibrational essence. . . .

So here you are, in a wonderful state of being: no longer an infant under the control of others,

somewhat acclimated into your physical environment, and now—by reading this book—returning

26

to the recognition of the full power of your Being . . . no longer buffeted around by the Law of

Attraction like a small cork on a raging sea, but fnally remembering and gaining control of your

own destiny, fnally and deliberately guiding your life within the powerful Law of Attraction rather

than responding in an attitude of default and just taking life as it comes. In order to do that, you

have to tell a different story. You have to begin to tell the story of your life as you now want it to be

and discontinue the tales of how it has been or of how it is.

Tell the Story You Want to Experience

To live deliberately, you have to think deliberately; and in order to do that, you must have a

reference point in order to determine the correct direction of your thought. Right now, just as at the

time of your birth, the two necessary factors are in place. The Law of Attraction (the most powerful

and consistent Law in the Universe) abounds. And your Guidance System is within you, all queued

up and ready to give you directional feedback. You have only one seemingly small but potentially

life-changing thing to do: You have to begin telling your story in a new way. You have to tell it as

you want it to be.

As you tell the story of your life (and you do it nearly all day, every day with your words, your

thoughts, and your actions), you have to feel good while you tell it. In every moment, about every

subject, you can focus positively or negatively, for in every particle of the Universe—in every

moment in time and beyond—there is that which is wanted and the lack of what is wanted pulsing

there for you to choose between. And as these constant choices reveal themselves to you, you have

the option of focusing upon what you want or the lack of it regarding every subject, because every

subject is really two subjects: what you want or the absence of what you want. You can tell, by the

way you feel, which choice you are currently focused upon—and you can change your choice

constantly.

Every Subject Is Really Two Subjects

The following are some examples to help you see how every subject is really two subjects:

Abundance/Poverty (absence of abundance) Health/Illness (absence of health)

Happiness/Sadness (absence of happiness) Clarity/Confusion (absence of clarity)

Energetic/Tired (absence of Energy) Knowledge/Doubt (absence of knowledge)

Interested/Bored (absence of interest)

I can do that/I can’t do that

I want to buy that/I can’t afford that

I want to feel good/I don’t feel good

I want more money/I don’t have enough money

I want more money/I don’t know how to get more money

I want more money/That person is getting more money than his/her share I want to be slender/I am

fat I want a new car/My car is old I want a lover/I don’t have a lover

As you read this list, it is undoubtedly obvious to you which we consider to be the better choice in

each example, but there is a simple and important thing that you may be forgetting. There is a

tendency as you read a list such as this to feel a need to state the factual truth about the subject (“tell

it like it is”) rather than make the statement of what you desire. That tendency alone is responsible

for more miscreating and more personal disallowing of wanted things than all other things put

together, and so, the examples and exercises offered in this book are given to help you orient

yourself toward what is wanted, not to explain what already is. You have to begin telling a different

story if you want the Law of Attraction to bring you different things.
