Nothing is too big.

[SethWilliams]

"You can tend to think of the things you want as really big
things, but your perspective is way out of proportion when
you think that way. When you think something is really big, in
effect you're saying to the law of attraction, "This is so big it's
going to be difficult to achieve, and it's probably going to take
a really long time." And you will be right, because whatever
you think and feel is what you will receive. If you think your
desire is really big, you will create difficulty and a time delay
in receiving what you want. But there is no big or small for the
law of attraction, and there is no concept of time for the law
of attraction.

To help you have the true perspective of creation, no
matter how big your desire may seem to you, think of it as the
size of a dotl You may want a house, car, vacation, money, the
perfect partner, your dream job, or children. You may want to
receive full health in your body. You may want to pass exams,
get into a particular college, break a world record, become
president, a successful actor, lawyer, writer, or teacher. It
doesn't matter what it is you want, think of it as the size of
a dot, because for the force of love, what you want is smaller
than a dot!

If you find your faith wavering, just put a dot in the center
of a large circle and next to the dot write the name of your
desire. As often as you like, look at your drawing of the dot in
the circle, knowing your desire is the size of that dot for the
force of love!"

This is an excerpt from "The Power" that I like to go back and read a lot. I hope it helps someone who needs this perspective.

Love and Appreciation,

Seth

Good post matey.

For a true definition of "nothing" I like to refer to the words of John Cooper Clarke

Something is but nothing
Something it is not
Nil plus nil is nothing
Nothings what I got
Nothing on the tele
Nothing going on
Nothing to get worked up about
Nothing by the ton
Nothing times a million
Nothing minus ten
Don't say nothing to no one
It's nothing to do with them
Come all the way from nowhere
And now I'm nowhere else
Where nothing is out of place
No one lives
And nothing smells
Talking to no one
It's like talking to the wall
I give you what I get
I give you bugger all

[Wax Frog]

But what if I don't want bugger all?

[shallownot]

this is the problem that I have. It's so hard to be positive.

Also, I used to practice LOA without even knowing it. For example, I really acted like I've already have something I wanted but in the end, it didn't come through. I was deeply disappointed so I never ever wanted to be hopeful again because the experience of LOA was false for me. What do I do now? Try again?

Great analogy and very informative post. Thanks!

I'm just a dopey American! Someone needs to tell me what bugger all is good for!!! Am I at least allowed to start off with bugger some?

[interchangeable]

But why would you want some when you could have it all?

[interchangeable]

this is the problem that I have. It's so hard to be positive.

You don't give yourself enough credit. You already know your problem and have stated it clearly. You BELIEVE that it's *hard to be positive* therefore IT IS *hard to be positive*. You make it so by believing it.

Truth is, positive or negative, they're just different sides of the same coin. It's just as easy - or hard - to be one as it is to be the other. It's dictated soley by the decision - the choice - you make within.

If you flip a coin 100 times but start off with the beleif that *it's hard to make it land on heads* then proceed without recording any of the results, what will you notice? Most likely, the number of times you were right and it didn't land on heads. But if you do the same experiment without choosing sides and you record the results, what do you think they would be? A very negligible difference in heads vs. tails, would be my guess.

Positive/negative isn't about emotions or not wanting to get hurt again, or not wanting to feel hope. It doesn't have to be about any of that, which is very freeing. It is simply an intellectual choice. It's choosing to see that it isn't about whether your coin lands on heads or tails but the fact that you can even engage in the act of flipping the coin in the first place. The wonder and freedom and ability to do that, regardless of the outcome.

Well, some buggers are better than others! Do they make reversible buggers? Maybe that way, if I decide I don't care for a particular bugger I can go back to square 1!

Another thing - who is John Cooper Clarke, and why is he so damnably insistent on buggers anyway?

I think all is good. If anything turns up I don't need or want, I can just give it to someone else!

Our set of exchanges was due to my riffing on the "bugger all" poetry line!
