Eva’s Surprise Leading Edge Expert Call with ABRAHAM…this WEDNESDAY!


I’m thrilled to be hosting a very special Leading Edge Expert call with Abraham and you’re invited to join me AT NO COST!


Wednesday, January 30th 5pm PST / 8PM EST

GO HERE TO REGISTER RIGHT AWAY

And please forward this to whoever you think may be interested!

This is the first Guest Expert Call in the five years I’ve been holding them that I’ve had my life partner, Robin, participate. In fact, I’ll be turning the call over to him to host as he introduces Marie Pellerin, a delicious, delightful human being who also channels Abraham!

I know exactly what some of you may be thinking and feeling right now. Suffice it to say, I had my own personal reaction at first, so before you jump to conclusions about what it all means, please read on.

Over to you, Robin…

A new Abraham channel!?

In October last year, Eva sent me a link to Law Of Attraction Talk Radio and the featured speaker was going to be Abraham – but this time channeled through Marie Pellerin. Well, I’d always heard Abraham (through Esther Hicks) say that anyone could channel and further, that anyone could in fact channel Abraham. Somehow it never occurred to me that I would actually come across someone else who did. But I was intrigued.

Then I heard the show, and bells started going off. From the very first words, there was never any doubt in my mind that this was the Abraham I’d come to know and appreciate. Then, when it turned out that Marie was offering 1on1 sessions with Abraham, I decided that maybe, some time, I’d get my questions sorted out and spend an hour together with Abraham.

About 2 months went past and the thought persisted and I finally got around to committing some of my PayPal funds to an Abe session. Well … long story short, in early January, Marie and I got together. In our emails, we’d both expressed interest in perhaps doing some work together. Our first hour was just getting to know each other. The second hour was Abraham - and what an exhilarating experience that was.

From that point on, it’s felt a lot like an avalanche. Marie and I have teamed up. We’ve got the website moving. I’ve been privileged to have many conversations with Abraham, and at each step the message has been – you two are a classic example of the Law Of Attraction at work – from opposite ends of the continent – a perfect match for each other. And always, “This is going to be bigger than you have ever imagined” because the number of people ready to receive this information is expanding enormously. Wow!

So now comes our first major event. Eva offered to sponsor a special conference call with Abraham and here’s how we’re going to do it. We’re asking you to submit questions to Abraham, and we’ll pick four. Those selected will get to ask their question directly to Abraham on the call. And the rest of you – well keep reading…

Marie, for the present, will continue to offer 1on1 sessions for those who want to take that track - although we’re not sure how long that can continue. We see the telephone conference call as a way to get this message out to more people. The problem is, in a 1-on-many session, how do you know you’re going to get your particular question answered? Well here’s the idea.

We’re setting up some forums in which you can submit questions. We’ll be grouping the questions, arranging conference calls and publishing in advance the four questions to be asked. You may subscribe to the calls and pick and choose which sessions you want to attend. If your question is selected, you get to ask it live on the call. And of course, the recordings will be available afterwards as MP3 downloads to subscribers.

Check out the website at www.Abraham-Pellerin.com. There’s a download of that original talk radio show available on the site. Have a listen and see if it rings your bells like it rang mine!

THEN GO HERE TO REGISTER RIGHT AWAY

Wednesday, January 30th 5pm PST / 8PM EST

And please forward this to whoever you think may be interested!

See you on the call.

Coming Undone - Is a Good Thing!

Coming Undone - Is a Good Thing!
by Eva Gregory


Do you remember the saying, 'everything I needed to know about life I learned in kindergarten?' Well, I won't say everything, but definitely a few really key lessons can be learned from the five and under set. One of the most important ones is the wide-eyed wonder and delight that children seem to be able to find in almost everything, every minute of every day, day after day. As adults we often do not appreciate the enormity of this wide-eyed sense of adventure. In fact we often find it tiresome, but take a moment to truly ponder what it would be like to look forward to each and every day with so much excitement that sleep is like punishment. Can you imagine how different your days would become?

Jonathan was in a rut. He'd begun to dread his work and even wasn't satisfied with how he spent his free time. He'd begun criticizing and nit-picking just about everything and had begun to drive even himself crazy. One evening after work Jon stopped at the dance studio that his sister ran. While waiting for her last class to end, he ran into an old friend from high school. He was surprised to see Marguerite. He'd heard that she had moved away years before, and recalled being a tad depressed about it because he'd had a secret crush on her for years. Looking at her, she barely looked old enough to be out of high school, let alone fast approaching her mid-thirties as he knew her to be. He told her how good she looked and she smiled, but did not give the compliment a great deal of attention, which really earned Jon's approval. When his sister Juana joined them, she suggested that they all go out to dinner and catch up. During dinner Jon learned that Marguerite had a very eventful life. She'd managed to recover from a disaster of a marriage, from being yet another casualty of the Dot.com bust, and had recently moved back home with her Dad, yet she was the epitome of optimism. She never once complained about the things that had gone wrong in her life, but seemed to look to the future as uncharted frontier, full of opportunity. Jonathan could not believe how much life and vitality she seemed to ooze. When Juana and Jon asked Marguerite about her optimism, she remarked that it was because she refused to let life beat her. She chose to embrace each fresh day as a new chance and could not dwell on what had happened in the past, even if it was as recently as yesterday. She said that periodically when she slipped and allowed herself to get caught up in yesterdays, she realized it immediately because she felt drained, bitter, and often listless. Marguerite confessed that she learned this way of life from her now seven year old daughter Callie. Callie was always excited about life. She couldn't wait to embrace a new day, conquer a new task, and almost always did it with a fantastic attitude. When she was born, Marguerite had searched for a way to nurture the free spirit in her child and decided the best way to do that was by being a role model for her.

Jonathan confided in Marguerite about his life and moods of late, and asked her for some suggestions. She said that she had three tips for how he could start living his life with the abandon that leaves one open to all possibilities. She first suggested that he stop living in the past. When he began to deny it, she told him that if he woke up in a foul mood that he was indeed living in the past. She told him to make a pact with himself to never go to bed with unresolved issues. Granted some things cannot be solved in just a few hours of a day, but instead of letting things carry over, he needed to make peace with the fact that it was unresolved and release it. Second, Marguerite suggested that Jonathan allow himself to try and enjoy things that may not seem appropriate for a thirty-something year old. She confided that she often went to the zoo to ride the carousel and several times a month went to play at the playground without her child. She found this personal playtime as being her most creative time. She assured him that good things would result from learning how to play again. Lastly, she suggested that he surround himself with others who knew how to embrace joy, especially since he didn't have children of his own. She cautioned that sometimes one can mistake irresponsibility for playfulness, but told Jon that he needed to learn how to really let himself go. She suggested volunteering with young children, or having him join a group of his liking for a fun activity, or that Jon join Callie and herself for a few "learn how to let go" outings. As she spoke Juana watched Jon ponder her suggestions and was delighted at the sparks she saw in his lately dull eyes. She knew it was going to take time, but thought that if Jon allowed himself to come undone from his former routine and learn to live life in the moment that he'd feel so much better about himself, his life, and definitely his future.

Are you ready to come undone? Can you make a pact to leave the events of a day on that day and not carry it into a new day, week, month or year? Yes, it is difficult, but just like couples who promise to never go to bed angry, why not promise to never go to bed aggravated? If you can make a promise to others, why not begin with you? Remember, you can't change the way others act, but you can change the way you respond verbally and the way you handle things. It's your life, the ball is in your court, and it's up to you to decide to let yourself come undone where you need to, in order to create the life that will make abundance, delight, possibilities and prosperity flow like the mighty Niagara-effortlessly and limitless. It is a good thing.

Getting Money Faster

Getting Money Faster
By Jeanna Gabellini


The title of this article sounds like the subject line of a spam email! I'm going to give you all some nuts and bolts about how to attract money faster. My business partner, Eva, calls the "how" a four-letter word. It's because we're so busy figuring out how we will make things work out, that many times we end up in resistant or stressful way of thinking. The other hard part about figuring out how something will manifest itself, is that if you can't figure out the how, you think it can't possibly happen.

There is an infinite amount of ways something can manifest. Most times, even if you have everything planned perfectly, you get to the end result of what you wanted in a different way than you thought. Is this making sense? I learned a long time ago at a seminar that the equation for getting a goal is 100% intention and 0% mechanism = 100% results, which means the mechanism (the way you go about getting something) has nothing to do with final outcomes. It's just a means to an end.

Okay enough about how "how" gets in the way. Let's give you some
how-to's on getting that cash faster! If you are one of those folks
who is frustrated with how the money is not showing up yet, or you think it will never show up or you need it right now because you just found out that you owe $20,000 in taxes ... relax! You are not alone. I go through the same thoughts from time to time, but then I get on it!

"Getting on it" meaning I handle my emotions FIRST! I ask myself, "What I am scared about?" Even if I don't feel the emotion of fear, it's there. You're either in abundance or lack, love, or fear. So, if you are ever spending a lot of time in your brain on a certain topic and it's not bringing a lot of joy, you are in lack/fear. If I think of purchasing a new home and I'm not doing anything about it, I ask myself, "Jeanna, what are you scared of?" The answer: Not sure I could attract the amount of money I need for down payment, closing costs, and monthly house payments for the dream house in the next few months. I don't know how.

How-to #1: Identify the Fear
Once you identify the fear, you can now focus on the opposite. Back to the house example: I will find a fun, fast way to create all the money I need in the next few months. The way to do this will present itself soon. There are a million solutions to every obstacle. I've got the Universe on my side.

How-to #2: Create the Intention
Next, look for a strategy that feels easy and aligned with your core
values. For instance, if I needed more money than I currently had to buy a new home, I would make a plan. That plan would include coming up with fresh ways to create new business. They would support me in doing only the things that I truly like doing. I wouldn't take on 20 more new coaching clients. That wouldn't feel good for me, but they'd be easy to attract because I have lots of proof in my life that it's easy for me to attract coaching clients. I'd be on coaching calls all week long and overwhelmed.

What would feel even easier and faster is to do a couple of my Xtreme Abundanz Coaching Adventurz. Just a few a month would take up only a few days and I would make even more than coaching. This might be a bit more for me to emotionally embrace, as my Gremlin likes to tell me these kinds of clients are not as easy to attract ... because I don't have lots of proof that it's easy.

I also would not go on a complete money diet/budget. That would make me feel rebellious or like my freedom was being taken away. But what would feel good to me is to start socking away more money per month into a savings designed specially for the house. I might cut back on shopping for clothes, bobbles, decorative items, and then do my normal fun things like skiing and skydiving. I would give more attention overall to my business. I would also consider flipping a piece of real estate. This might be enough to get both the down pay and closing costs.

Remember there is no "right" way to do this. The only way to make a plan is to look outside of your normal way of thinking, make it fit with your lifestyle and values. Listen to others' ideas, but only take away what feels right to you.

How-to #3: Create a Strategy, Brainstorm, and Make It Real.

How-to# 4: Acknowledge Your Gremlin Conversations and Move Forward Anyway.
One of my favorite mentors, Todd Tresidder (http://www.FinancialMentor.com) always says, "Move forward as an optimist, but cover your butt like a pessimist."
This means that, YES, you expect to get the money and you also take the steps to ensure that you put in place a safety net and you inform yourself of choices and information that will serve you.

How-to #5: Expect Money to Come to You Abundantly.

How-to #6: Know All of Your Choices and Be Smart About What You Choose.
Lastly, you're going to want to be at peace about whatever your money situation is currently. If you are upset about it or keep
acknowledging that it isn't enough, you will move towards your money goal at a snail's pace. You don't need to like it, but you do not want to fixate on the problem. Focusing on the problem is not inspiring.
Focusing on the problem gets you ... what? More of the problem, of course! Whenever you are in a situation you don't like, know that it is a temporary state. Your natural state of being is one of abundance and prosperity.

How-to #7: Focus on the Horizon and Do Not Resist Where You Are.
Now, for goodness sakes, totally expect more money from now on. Take actions that a person expecting wealth would take. Be grounded in your choices and have a ton of fun on this journey.

Abundance Abounds




Abundance Abounds
by Eva Gregory, CPCC


Does wealth mean monetary success? Or can it mean more than just money? When one speaks of wealth, the natural inclination is to assume money is being referred to. But there are so many other things in life than just money. One can have an abundance of friends, time, good health, personal success, wisdom, or a multitude of other things that is not primarily associated with money.

It is said that the wealth and success of the world of controlled by a mere ten-percent of the population. Thus, should it be assumed that there is no more than what those in the “ten-percent” control, and the rest of us should throw up our hands in futility? That ninety-percent of the population should just be happy with what we have because there is no more available to us? Thankfully, the Universe does not put such limitations on us. Abundance truly does abound.

Too many people assume that if someone has a great deal of wealth it means that someone else has to make do with less. As if there is only a certain amount of success or wealth to go around that is stockpiled somewhere and once it’s depleted, that’s it. But that’s not how it works. Consciousness is at the root of everything. Abundance, wealth, success and prosperity are created and there is no limit on how much is available.

Think of new products that come into the market. Many change the way the world operates, but just because a different product or manufacturer comes onto the scene, does not always mean that another has to go under to make room for the new arrival. The same is true for the other facets of life, as Ralph learned. Ralph fancied himself an inventor. He hadn’t come up with “the” big idea or patent yet, but he was hopeful, that is, until his neighbor Stan came up with an idea and began to work on his very own patent. Ralph began to lose hope that he’d ever make it as an inventor. After all, what were the odds that two neighbors would both patent ideas that would bring them great success? Tired of all of his recent negativity, Ralph’s wife gave him a pep talk. She told him that she loved him, supported his ingenuity and had great faith in his abilities. She also told him that he’d be foolish to base the possibility of his success on someone else’s accomplishments. After all, it was like comparing apples to oranges. Imagine how far behind the world would be in all aspects, if everyone believed that there was only but so much available and once that imaginary quota was reached there was no more room for new ideas, advancements or opportunities. Ralph still hasn’t come up with his big invention, but after helping his neighbor through the patent process, Ralph recognized a need for his services, and opened his own patent consultancy business. His business is growing, and he believes that he will be successful.

Abundance is just that, plentiful. One must put the energy in place that there is enough of whatever is desired to go around. One is only as limited as one’s desire. The reality is that the boundary of abundance is infinite. Go ahead, grab yours!

Close Your Eyes and Dream


Close Your Eyes and Dream
by Eva Gregory


Despite what Wes Craven would have you believe, dreams cannot harm you, but they can help you immensely. Not the ones you have when you're sleeping, but the ones you hold in your heart ... your fondest desires. Those dreams can shape your reality if you take the time to give them life ... to visualize them. Do you ever wonder about the self-confidence that successful people always seem to have? It's that self-confidence that got them where they wanted to be. They focused on the goal and the mind and body made it happen.

Do you ever "what if"? Instead of playing "what if", why not play "I am". How does one play? It all comes back to be-ing. You can be what you want if you can picture yourself being it, living it, experiencing it. Close your eyes, relax, and imagine that you ARE the successful ______, and that you live in the beautiful __________, overlooking _________. You have a wonderful life. You are able to relax and enjoy life to the fullest. You are content and all of your worries are gone. Use all 5 of your senses.
Elaborate from there. What kind of house do you live in? Where is it located? Is this your summer home? What does the air smell like when you arrive at your home? Is it by the sea? Is it in the country?

Can you see it clearly? How does it make you feel? Do you feel like it is really yours? Do you feel as though you've earned it, that you deserve all that you are visualizing? This too is part of the process. When your feelings are one with your thoughts and beliefs, and they are focused on the positive goals that you have set, the picture that you are holding in your mind's eye ... they will begin manifesting. In essence, you've used your thoughts to attract the people, ideas, situations, etc. that will bring you the vision that you are holding of yourself. Thus creating your reality.

Bridget was feeling exceptionally low when a friend suggested that she schedule a session with a personal coach. She was hesitant and skeptical, thinking that there was not anything that her coach could tell her that she hadn't already thought of, envisioned, or dreamed of herself. She found that she was both right and wrong in her assumptions. When she met Dora she was impressed by how grounded she was and by how much they had in common. She also found out that a couple of years ago before Dora discovered coaching, that she was feeling adrift and had a business that was floundering. Bridget readily identified with this because her gift shop had been doing so poorly lately, that she had a number of creditors calling looking for payment. Dora told her that she used visualization to obtain her goals. Bridget scoffed at the idea. But when Dora explained that someone told her that if she could not visualize herself as a success that she would never be a success ... it began to make sense. Bridget didn't think she thought of herself as a failure, but realized that she also did not think of herself as a success.

Bridget spent 15 minutes twice a day visualizing herself running a successful business, living in the house of her dreams and living a debt free life. After a few weeks, she noticed the change in the level of confidence she had in her abilities. She approached her business dealings with more self-confidence which in turn began to increase her bottom line. Her increase in confidence made her much more attentive to her customers which produced larger sales. With Dora as her coach, Bridget used her dreams to obtain her reality. She visualized, imagined, spoke about and wrote down her goals to support her state of be-ing. She refused to back down and allow limiting thoughts to tarnish her future.

If Bridget could do it, so can you. Let go of the limiting thoughts and begin by embracing the life that you want, desire, and deserve. Let the picture you see in your mind support your goals and you will help them materialize that much faster. Let your dreams be the guide to your future and the road to your success. You just have to close your eyes and ... DREAM.

Changing Your Mind for True Wealth: How Do You Know When You've Really Done It?

Changing Your Mind for True Wealth: How Do You Know When You've Really Done It?
By Jeanna Gabellini


You already know that it's smart to invest, look for different strategies, and let go of your old safe ways of thinking around money. Blah, blah, blah. So, are you doing what you know? If you've been courageous enough, you've probably taken some steps. It seems like you've totally changed your ways. You've paid off debt, created some passive income, bought some real estate, and you have a plan. But how do you know that you're not in another box? How do you know that this new way of being with your money isn't old already? Read on.

Having true wealth consciousness is an inside job. Even when you have the intellectual knowledge and are taking steps, old patterns will show up. Having knowledge about something and knowing something at a cellular level are VERY different. You will feel a place in your heart that eases up once you've made a change at a core level. Youíll be playing with your money like it's a game. You'll feel fulfillment, eagerness to learn, and alignment with your goals and values. Opportunities will come out of the woodwork. They will not frighten you. You will always be looking for ways to create solutions to make deals, rather than saying "I can't" or "I don't know how."

There is a sense of space, and urgency is gone. You are confident in your ability to make decisions and trust yourself and your partners. You'll be using strategies that most folks (including accountants, financial planners, and real estate brokers) will say are crazy or can't be done. You will be a pioneer in your old circle of friends. You will feel different. You'll ask people you respect to give you feedback and be honest about what they see in you. You will be hungry to keep learning and stretching. The tasks will become second to how you're feeling. The emotions that you may experience will be joy, security, trust, faith, and exhilaration.

Let's use my client, Joe, as an example. For the past year, his focus was to operate his business as a "B." In Robert Kiyosaki's, "CASHFLOW Quadrant," a business owner has systems and people that run their business. The owner should be able to go on a trip around the world and still generate cash flow as if he/she were working. Well, Joe had made significant steps by hiring more people, buying the building he operated from, and creating systems. But guess what? If he wasn't directing the employees, they weren't taking leadership. They were dependent on him. If his assistant left for a week, nobody could find anything. He thought he was operating totally different, but I pointed out that he needed to create a team who would take leadership. He also needed to create more structure from the ground up.

From the outside, you would not have noticed any of this. He was generating more income and surpassing all of his goals. If he didn't have someone to point this out to him, how long would it have taken him to crash and pull his hair out? I don't know, but he didn't have to wait because he'd hired a coach. He has now hired a consultant to help him build better systems.

There are a couple of things to point out in this example:

1. Joe had created a new paradigm around growing his business. But the new expansive paradigm was already limiting him. So again, he had to shift.
2. He had the beginnings of a team around him that were looking from the outside in to support him. They were objective and skilled in specific areas.
3. Joe had to be honest, vulnerable, and curious about how he was thinking and feeling. He had do this with himself, then with his support team.

Do the following to ensure the changes you're making are from the inside out:

1. Be constantly pushing your limited thinking. If your heart pounds a bit when an opportunity comes, that may be something to examine with a partner or mentor/coach.
2. Expand the areas in which you invest. Do something different. Even if you do bigger deals in the stock market than you've done previously, you may still be playing where you feel safe. How about real estate or creating intellectual property? Everything seems foreign when it ís new. Once you learn and practice in a new area, it becomes fun.
3. Have a team that is 100% aligned with your vision. Your team can inspire you, support you in the same old-same old, or even bring you down. It's your choice. Make sure your team includes people who are farther down the wealth path than you. They'll teach you by example and get you used to wealth being a normal state of being.
4. As you feel and think, so shall you create. Where is your focus? Are your thoughts of prosperity, faith, and joy? Struggle, mediocrity or some day ís? If only ... If only you knew that you could be, do, and have anything, RIGHT NOW!
5. Hire experts. If you don't have a coach, mentor and/or mastermind team that you meet with consistently, you are prolonging wealth. Stop kidding yourself. These folks remind you to stretch; they support and teach you. They hold you more powerful than you see yourself. If you say you can't afford it or don't have time, then you obviously don't have an abundant perspective and are not solution-focused. You're in the land of fear and would really benefit from a more sophisticated team.
6. Get comfortable and welcome the fear that arises when pushing your thinking. Expect it. Get thrilled about it. It's just an indicator of where you would benefit from growing. While you're at it, get comfortable with falling down or momentarily lapsing back into old ways. It happens. So what?! One of my coaches today told me, "Have mercy on yourself." Be forgiving and keep giving yourself love. Duh! Beating yourself up is totally useless. Tell your self-judge to buzz off!
7. Get real. Be honest about your thoughts. Own your strengths. You really do know more than you think and are more powerful than you know. Be honest about what you don't think you know and where you hold yourself back. Let people know how they can support you. We're not always mind readers, ya know?!

Do yourself a huge favor. Breathe in right now. Decide that you will take a bold step this week, even if you feel nervous. You are ready. Promise. Read about our free teleclass and other cool stuff to help you on this wonderful journey. If it's not fun and impactful, I don't do it!

Play the game of life. Enough said. Bye!

Choose Your Path


Choose Your Path
by Eva Gregory

You wish that you could do something over, take back an action, or exchange an utterance? The bad news is that you can’t – what’s done is done. The good news is that it’s already in the past and this is the first moment of the rest of your life. Since you can’t change the past, what does your future hold? It’s up to you to choose.

As a society we are often stuck in a rut. Not satisfied with our past and our present, but reluctant to step up to the plate and make the future what we desire. Too often this occurs because we don’t realize that we created the path we are on consciously or unconsciously. But nothing is written in stone. Change begins first with a thought, followed by a choice, which becomes an action.

Jenny was very depressed. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t get her business off the ground and her bills were mounting to epic proportions. She knew that if she couldn’t turn things around relatively quickly, that she would soon be facing bankruptcy. Knowing that things were out of hand she asked her best friend to lunch for some advice. Over lunch, Danni listened attentively as Jenny got her up to speed. When Jenny was done, Danni took a deep breath and said, “So, what are you choosing to do about it?” Jenny stopped chewing and thought about how Danni had phrased the question and asked her what she meant. Danni proceeded to explain to Jenny in detail, just how much control she had over her situation. First, she asked Jenny to describe her thoughts about her business and her finances. Jenny told Danni that having her own business had always been a dream of hers, but that she never had enough funds coming in, her client list was pitifully short, and she was rapidly losing hope. Once Danni understood Jenny’s feelings she asked her to describe her ideal situation. As she watched, Jenny’s face became animated, her voice became passionate, and her eyes lit up as she described oodles of serious fun clients, fulfilling projects, and an abundance of funds. When she stopped speaking, Danni asked Jenny to focus on her “success vision”, to choose and embrace it as her reality, to think about it at least three times each day in great deal and to let go of the thoughts that had landed her in her situation. Lastly, Danni suggested that Jenny monitor her progress each day by acknowledging the changes in her circumstances with some form of appreciation. When Jenny did not respond Danni gave her examples of things to appreciate, like a new client, a potential referral, free advertising. Jenny decided that she had nothing to lose, so she decided to give it a try.

About three months later Jenny called Danni and asked her to come over for dinner. When Danni arrived she found a beautiful table set, with a cake that had two words on it - Thank You. Jenny explained that she had spent the past three months showing appreciation for everyone and everything that showed up, but Danni deserved something extra special for helping her turn her life around. Jenny told Danni that her business seemed to take off within two weeks of their conversation. She had new clients, changed her marketing materials, and had even been approved for a loan that she had forgotten that she applied for. Jenny’s business was becoming successful, and she was positive that it was because she stopped playing the martyr and decided to choose to be successful.

Are there things in your life that you would like to release? Or things that you would like to see materialize? Are you ready to make the choice to BE what you want? I’d like you to close your eyes and visualize your dream life. If it’s different from the life you have, then you have a choice to make. Simply, becoming aware of the thoughts that you hold and changing them to appreciation will have a profound affect on your life. Don’t worry about what has already happened, remember, this is the first moment of the rest of your life.
