Walking a fine line....

Not too long ago a good friend of mine reminded me that there is a fine line between creating what we want for ourselves through positive thoughts and actions and denying the truth of what's really going on. I recently had the experience of being totally honest about where I was in my life and quickly, through a-ha moment after a-ha moment, realized that I was in denial.

When we are in denial our conscious selves, our "head" selves are convinced that everything is OK but our inner selves, our "heart" selves know better. Therefore when we are in a state of denial we attract to us whatever we are denying.

In my case, I was doing my abundance affirmations, tithing on my income and listening to everything I could about abundance, which is wonderful, but at the same time I was having a hard time paying the bills. Though it's certainly possible to go from having very little to creating alot, it didn't work for me. My inner self was throwing up bullship flags all over the place.

Interestingly enough, after I chose to go back to work full time to create a steady income with benefits etc, my feeling place totally shifted and the money started flowing. I haven't even gotten my first paycheck and I already feel a huge inner knowing that all is well for me financially (regardless of what's going on in the economy). I have had some amazing speaking opportunities come my way and have sold more books this month than during any other month since my book came out.

Life is good and I know that as long as I continue to focus on the good (without being in denial) that the goodness that is life (and the money!) will continue to flow.
