“When you say “Yes” to something, you include something you do want in your experience. When you say “No” to something, you include something you don’t want in your experience.”
~ Abraham-Hicks
It’s a beautiful, still morning here, with spring quickly turning into summer. Morning temperatures have been on the rise, and I expect to hear the return of the seagulls soon ….
My morning message was clearly given yesterday, as I found Facebook filled with a theme which underscored a number of conversations I had with friends yesterday …..
It’s the fundamentals of the Law of Attraction and saying YES to our dreams …..

My friend Krishna posts, from J. Krishnamurti’s book ‘Think On These Things’:
Questioner: However much I may want to be an engineer, if my father is against it and won’t help me, how can I study engineering?
J. Krishnamurti:
If you persist in wanting to be an engineer even though your father turns you out of the house, do you mean to say that you won’t find ways and means to study engineering?
You will beg, go to friends. Sir, life is very strange.
The moment you are very clear about what you want to do, things happen.
Life comes to your aid – a friend, a relation, a teacher, a grandmother, somebody helps you.
But if you are afraid to try because your father may turn you out, then you are lost.
Life never comes to the aid of those who merely yield to some demand out of fear.
But if you say, “This is what I really want to do and I am going to pursue it”, then you will find that something miraculous takes place.
You may have to go hungry, struggle to get through, but you will be a worthwhile human being, not a mere copy, and that is the miracle of it.
You see, most of us are frightened to stand alone; and I know this is especially difficult for you who are young, because there is no economic freedom in this country (India) as there is in America or Europe. Here the country is overpopulated, so everybody gives in.
You say, “What will happen to me?”
But if you hold on, you will find that something or somebody helps you.
When you really stand against the popular demand, then you are an individual, and life comes to your aid.
You know, in biology there is a phenomenon called the sport, which is a sudden and spontaneous deviation from the type. If you have a garden and have cultivated a particular species of flower, one morning you may find that something totally new has come out of that species.
That new thing is called the sport.
Being new, it stands out. And the gardener takes a special interest in it. And life is like that. The moment you venture out, something takes place in you and about you. Life comes to your aid in various ways.
You may not like the form in which it comes to you – it may be misery, struggle, starvation – but when you invite life, things begin to happen.
But you see, we don’t want to invite life, we want to play a safe game; and those who play a safe game die very safely.
Is that not so?

How do any of us pursue our dreams, when those closest to us don’t believe in or agree with our aspirations? How did I eventually come to live in New York City, while everyone, including my father, thought I was nuts?? Because I had belief in myself and my dreams, and the love and support of my Grandmother, who told me I could accomplish anything I set my mind to …
Choose to live life by the Law of Attraction. When I’ve said YES to life, moving away from don’ts and doubts …. When I’ve become clear, being true to myself and a deep inner calling … Universe has conspired and come to my aid …. Time and time again!
Overcome your fears. Be a sport. Why play life safe, on the sidelines ?? Go for it !!! Live your dreams. What do you have to lose ….? You might just gain the most wonderful life you have ever imagined 🙂
Happy Saturday!
