There Are No 'What Ifs' only 'What You Want To Be's'

So there is a decision we (Chip & I) have to make. We have to DECIDE whether we accept a counter offer for a house we are looking to purchase. Of course the price they countered with is higher than we wanted to pay.

What do we do? Do we still buy it? What if we can't make the 'numbers' work? What if it's too much? What happens if the market goes bad? What if? What if? What if?  STOP!

That was the old me.

This is the new me. NONE of those questions matter, there are no 'what if's' there are only 'what I want to be's". In other words, all I need to do is make a decision and then LINE UP WITH IT!

LINE UP WITH IT! Julie, why are you yelling at us???! Sorry.  But what the f*ck does 'line up with it' mean anyway?

Aligning with what you want is easy, all you have to do is...NOTHING! Okay, that's not the exact truth. What you need to do is RELAX and be HAPPY and point your boat downstream (previous post).

Abraham through Esther Hicks would say, "Get into your VORTEX". This is the word that Abraham uses to describe Being In a place of excitement, joy and inspiration. Never make decisions unless you are in your VORTEX. Don't take actions, unless you are in your VORTEX. When you are in your VORTEX you are in ALIGNMENT with all of your desires.

To get into your VORTEX, take it easy. Look at things to appreciate. Be happy with what you have.      Feel abundant. Basically do whatever you need to do to be happy. If I'm having trouble getting into my Vortex, I sometimes take a nap. I have a friend she lights candles to get into her Vortex another takes a bath, one meets a friend for coffee. Another goes for a bike ride.

Whatever makes you happy do it and it's a promise, if you are in your vortex often enough, the things that you've been desiring, whatever it is, peace, health, inspiration, relationships, rubber bands, canned tuna, a house, whatever, will start coming to you. It's been happening to me, really, I'm not shitting you. It's actually kind of weirding me out.

Once you are happy, inspirations will come, decisions can be made, actions can be taken.

Take A Boat Ride Down-Stream With Annette

Whatever your belief is, is what is. Can I make this less clear?  Once I believed I needed to work a shit job to sustain my career as a writer/actor. I no longer believe that. NOW, I believe in Annette. WHATCHOOTALKIN 'BOUT WILLIS?

We all have a net. A big, bouncy, indestructible, pink (Well, mine is pink anyway) net. The trick is believing in the net. I've named my net, Annette, because I have no imagination whatsoever.

I have to keep reminding myself of Annette as I walk this high wire called life. (What, we're at the circus now?)

Last night I met this most lovely person, we'll call her Nikki, because that is what her parents named her and everyone calls her that, and when you say, "hey Nikki" she responds, so why would I mess with it? Anyway, Nikki said, "I quit my job, because I hated it, then I got scared and took my job back".

Query, should Nikki have taken her job back when she got scared? Probably. Because as long as she is under the belief that she needs the job (that she hates) then it becomes true.  She asked me, "when you quit your job, did you have a cushion of money?" whether I had a cushion of money is of no consequence. But the truth is, the cushion of money came almost immediately AFTER I began BELIEVING in the cushion of money. I know, this sounds all magical and crap, but I'm learning that the Law Of Attraction feels, sounds and tastes just like magic (Now with a New Indescribable Scent!).

Abraham, through Esther Hicks uses the stream analogy. There is this really strong current happening in all of our lives. We've built this stream with our desire & wanting. Everything we want is DOWN-STREAM but most people, she says, point their boats UP-STREAM and then begin paddling really hard.

Abraham says, point your boat DOWN-STREAM and not only should you point your boat down-stream, but then LET GO OF THE PADDLES. Since everything we want, whatever it is, joy, love, health, floss, travel, money, robot, WHATEVER you want is downstream.

Re-reading this post in retrospect I think I shouldn't have combined the 'Net' analogy, with the 'Stream' analogy, I mean nets and water don't exactly mix, ask any Dolphin. But screw it. I think you get what I'm throwing at ya.

So get in your boat with Annette, pack some sandwiches, load up your I-Pod with your favorite tunes, relax and enjoy the ride down-stream.
