As far as the latter of your post, I agree with you because it causes scarcity and fear along with the scuffles, anger,etc.
I too have learned from my mistakes and have grown from them.
I have learned to step back and just journal and have affirmations to focus on the positives. I am amazed at what has happened in my life just by doing these things. I also do my best daily to visualize and "feel" how I want to in this situation or that. I feel secure in myself doing these things and allowing the Universe to what it is to do. |
I still play games of chance like lottery (no casino's for me) frequently, but have a light-hearted approach now, for a time I put considerable emphasis on that sort of thing. I am learning that careful examination of my motives usually tells me when I'm out of bounds. I have won lots of small prizes/gifts over the last several years, when I worked with a large number of people they used to just throw up their hands if I put my name in a basket, like ,what's the point,Jeff's gonna win.
I think one key element that a lot of people miss is to distill the desire down to it's essence and focus on that, it opens up the range of possibilities, and reduces attachment/competitive feelings that you get with specific requests. I'm not saying don't go after a job you want or don't try to win a prize, just focus on the essence of those things. I believe it will increase your chances of actually getting the specific thing while at the same time assure you that even if you don't, you will experience what you were hoping to get from it.
