You do not drive back and forth and back and forth from your starting point to the midway point and then finally collapse from the never-ending journey.
It might be long and tiring, but when we decide to go – we go – knowing that we will get there in time. She says that when we take a trip from one place to another, we understand that there is a journey involved. I particularly liked Esther's example of how we get from here to there without getting discouraged.
Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires (Law of Attraction Book 7) (p. (Worrying is using your imagination to create something you do not want.) Hicks, Esther Hicks, Jerry (). We should be putting ourselves in a place of enjoyment where we envision ourselves already in possession of and experiencing the resulting happiness of having what we desire. If we feel negative or irritated or anything but joyful – then we are using the wrong approach.

Or if we want a new car – we might actually be feeling that we don't like our old car or taking the bus.Įsther Hicks (or Abraham – not sure how to refer to the author of this one) says that if we pay close attention to how we feel we will truly see what we are paying attention to. When we want more money – we might actually be feeling that we don't have enough money. That means that we are actually focusing on what we don't have and not on our desire for what we want. This book explains why in many ways – but one point that stuck with me is that often times, we are not giving our attention to what we desire but rather to the lack of what we desire.

I say fortunately because the information within was a delightful treat.Īsk and It Is Given is written so conversationally and with such wisdom that I practically highlighted every word. My CPA mind, green eyeshade and all – was going all – alert! alert! this does not compute.įortunately, this book came highly recommended and I was able to squash my doubts and dig in.

But given that my mind is starting to open to these types of teachings – my inner skeptic was definitely activated as I read the beginning of this book.
