The ability and willingness to be teachable is an important aspect of the higher Levels of Awareness - Dr.Robert Anthony
The ability and willingness to be teachable is an important aspect
of the higher Levels of Awareness. At the Victim and Struggle Level,
there is a lot of resistance to being told anything by anybody.
There is a tendency to respond with "I know that" or "I read that,
already!" Both of those statements are clues of defensiveness. In
addition, having read or heard a concept does not mean you are
actually practicing that action on a daily basis.

Being teachable means that you must start out with a "beginner
mind set" and a humble attitude. How easy is it for you to admit
that you don't know something? How often do you pretend or
exaggerate what you really know? Can you be humble without feeling
vulnerable?
We are all students of life. How often have you heard or read
something many times and finally one day you hear it in a new and
different way and finally it sinks in? We are never too old to
learn. Current longevity studies show that the more we are
committed to curiosity and learning, the longer we will live.
Today look at the world with beginner eyes and at the end of the
day spend a few moments reflecting on what you saw and what you
learned.
Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT! No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will
only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.
Law of Attraction - 3 principles to manifest ....
3 Principles to Using the Law of Attraction
Principle #1: Get really clear with what you actually want
If I were to ask you what you want in life, what would you say?
For a lot of people, it's "Arghhh anything but this!" It's much easier to know what we don't want. Because of that, it's what we tend to constantly think about.
We don't like being stuck in traffic, we don't like disappointment, and we don't like mountains of debt.
The problem is that whatever you focus on tends to expand. Any time you think strongly about something you hate, you put energy into whatever you're thinking about and attract more of the same.
Instead, switch it around to thinking about what you DO want. Maybe it's a 30-hour work week or the ability to spend more time with your loved ones.
If it's difficult to think about what you want, I have an exercise for you. Take a piece of paper and split it into three columns. In the first, write what you don't want. In the second, write the opposite of that, which is what you do want. In the third column, write briefly why you want it. This will help you get clear on your goals and motivate you to focus on them.
Principle #2: Feel good and visualize what you want, making sure to feel the emotions flooding through you
To use the Law of Attraction to your advantage, you're going have to make some changes in how you think. You need to feel happy and confident, both about your goals coming true, and about life in general.
This is the part where a lot of people have trouble. You see, unless you can actually feel the emotions of having already achieved what it is you want, you won't get the best benefits from using the Law of Attraction.
Each day you should close your eyes and when focusing on your goals see in your mind's eye that it has already come true. Also make sure you FEEL the emotions of already having everything in existence right now. Basically, you should fully visualize yourself already living your dream life and experience those emotions of gratitude, accomplishment, joy and peace.
Once you have nurtured this mindset, it's typical to start having those things start physically appearing in your life, one way or another.
A great tool to help you stay focused is to create a list of positive affirmations in the present tense that represent what you want, such as "Every month I pay my bills with plenty left over," or "I am so happy I can't stop smiling".
When you're visualizing, repeat this affirmations to yourself, almost like a personal mantra, to get yourself pumped up and really feeling the emotion. Get excited because you're starting to learn how great things will be when you have your goals.
When I tell this to students and friends, I often hear, "Natalie, how in the world am I supposed to find the time to think happy thoughts and focus on goals? I barely get through the day as it is!"
My answer to that is, "Well tell me... how much time do you set aside every day to think about problems and worry about silly things that will probably never happen?"
The truth is that there are actually two types of time, internal time and external time, and they don't always line up.
Right now, you probably have dozens of thoughts a minute you're conscious of, and thousands of thoughts you're unconscious of. If you simply use your downtime to think positively, whether you're waiting in line, working out, or driving, you'll be amazed at how much the world will open up for you.
Principle #3: Take action when appropriate
One of the hang-ups that a lot of people have with the Law of Attraction is the idea that good things can come to you without hard work.
Don't get me wrong; you can still work hard if you want to. However, the more you follow the principles I've outlined so far, the less struggle you have to go through when taking action.
You see, no matter what path you're on, there's probably an easier way you haven't thought of yet. Using the Law of Attraction is the surest way to cut down the effort needed for success.
But, the truth is, you do need to take some action if you want to give the Universe the best opportunities to provide you with what you want, but the most important point to remember is that you don't need to see the whole plan.
To take action, you just need to take a single step in the direction of your goal. Just keep focusing on the next step, that's all you need to do as far as action!
So, when you see something in front of you that seems applicable to your goals in life, don't hesitate for a single second. Take whatever action step you see and just watch what happens.
You'll see that once you've finished each step, a new one on the invisible staircase will become apparent to you. As you start gaining momentum, the entire staircase begins to reveal itself, often showing you so much more than you ever expected or dreamed at the top.
If you follow the three principles I've outlined, you'll begin to start seeing incredible opportunity everywhere you look....
...Someone you meet at a party might pass you a business card and reveal she's an insider in an industry you've wanted to open a business in.
...You might take a wrong turn and find yourself in front of a hidden mall with incredible deals that shave tons of savings off your monthly bills.
In my experience, if you're prepared to take action, but open to the idea that it could be easy, things tend to just fall into place so you slide through life a lot more smoothly.
Happy Manifesting!!
