I was listening to the lyrics to that song from the Beatles yesterday, you know "Strawberry Fields Forever...." and it got me to thinking. As Law of Attraction practitioners it is our job to create our own universe using those tools that we have. Visualization and being grateful are just a few of them. People who are "crazy" as people would call them, live in their own worlds truly. They know and see what their reality is. They know it is real and, therefore; it is. That is the way with us, except we have the ability to know what is dream and reality. They are one and the same.

Who's to say what is real and fake? Maybe to them the fact that you lost your job is a bad thing. In fact, I can almost guarantee that when you tell someone that you were let go from your job they are going to say that is terrible. You know why? It is because to them when they see someone losing their job they see financial ruin, unhappiness, and ultimately your last destruction. Never mind that you hated your job, you knew it wasn't right, it was definitely not something you wanted to do for the rest of your life, and that you know you can find a better one. To them that doesn't matter, because they have created their own reality. As long as we can recognize that is their reality and that ours is different, we can let it go and not hang on to it thinking (all of a sudden), "oh my god, that is a terrible thing, what am I going to do..." Oh no my friend, remember that your universe is your own. While certain people connect into our own, it is completely our own.

In part, knowing our reality is mostly knowing what you want. Think about it, the Universe is willing and ready for you. It is like having the best assistant ever. In order for your assistant to hop to work and do what they need to get done, you need to tell them what needs to be done. If you simply don't know what you want then how can your assistant do anything? They will just stand there until you figure it out. So, what we do is we give them an outline. That's right, let the assistant do their job (another words don't be controlling about exactly how you need to have it, this is a good assistant you hired), but tell them what you want done. Since our assistant is the Universe, the way to give it an incredible outline is to visualize. We are not just talking about creating a picture of what we want in our heads. Oh no, we are talking about feeling what we want in our heads. Just keep the visualization consistent and the Universe will see exactly what they should be doing.

Once you have this picture in your head of what you want and you walk around living that everyday (if you visualize your financial success act as if you have lots of money during the day) and not fearing what the naysayers are saying, I can almost guarantee that you will see a huge difference in your life. It is hard sometimes when we have a pattern in our heads that says we should listen to negative thought. You don't have to. Just remember that it is their universe and let go of the thought. The world is your oyster (or if you don't like oysters, than the world is your ____________. Fill in the blank.). Live your life fearlessly, with trust and love. Make those strawberry fields your own.
