Book of Positive Aspects

This exercise will assist you in finding a more deliberate, constant
place of positive attraction:
Purchase a new notebook. Write across the front of your book, in bold
letters: "Book of Positive Aspects". The primary objective of your
Book of Positive Aspects is to quickly bring you to a position of
feeling good, therefore to a position of positive attraction, but
there are many other benefits: A daily entering of positive aspects
on old and new subjects will help you to maintain your positive
balance. As one area of your life draws you to your Book of Positive
Aspects, the recording of your entries will bleed over into other
aspects of your experience. Because you are feeling better more of
the time, more of the things that you consider to be good will begin
to flow smoothly into your experience. Many of the things that you
have been wanting - but have been blocking by offering thoughts that
attract resistance in the form of negative emotion - will easily flow
into your experience. The balance of thought and feeling in your
experience will shift from predominantly negative to predominantly
positive. You will soon discover that no matter what the emotional
state of your world, your economy, or even those close around you in
your work or home, you will find yourself in a more positive balance,
and by law, indeed by the Law of Attraction, your own life will begin
to show the result of that, immediately.
This "Book of Positive Aspects" is not offered as a process whereby
you take a negative and turn it into a positive. It is a process to
assist you in giving your attention to that which is positive. And as
you are focusing upon that which is positive, you cannot focus upon
that which is negative. And when you withdraw your attention from
that which is negative - it will leave your experience.

Upon each page, begin a new subject. Write what flows easily from
you. Do not work at it. When you work at it, you may find yourself
trying to stretch something you actually feel negative about into a
positive, and in giving it attention, even giving it positive words -
you further your negative attention. When the thoughts regarding a
particular subject have stopped flowing, turn to a fresh new page and
begin a new subject. 15 minutes at the beginning of each day is
enough time for this process.

On the second day, read what you have written before, and add as the
thoughts come to you. Notice how good you feel during and following
this process.
If you find yourself feeling negative emotion regarding a specific
person in your experience, begin a page of positive aspects regarding
that person.
If you find yourself feeling negative emotion regarding any subject,
such as not enough money, not enough time, too much work to do, not
enough respect from another ... begin a page in your book to help
yourself to identify the positive aspects of that particular
situation.
You will notice, right away, that your overall feeling is improved.
Not only will the specific situations, upon which you have written,
improve immediately, but, also, other experiences not yet identified
in your book, because AS YOU FEEL BETTER YOU ATTRACT MORE OF THAT
WHICH YOU CONSIDER TO BE GOOD. AS YOU FEEL BAD, YOU ATTRACT MORE OF
THAT WHICH YOU CONSIDER TO BE BAD.
Continue for a full week, each day reading what has been written
before and adding to that. At the end of the first week, put your
book aside and purchase another.
Again, write across the front of your book: "My book of Positive
Aspects". You may now begin to see this book as the treasure it
really is, for it is the key to your centered, balanced place of Well-
being. It is the key to your deliberate positioning of yourself in a
place of positive attraction. While your world is predominantly
focused upon the negative, with many more critics than those who
praise - you have found a process to control the way you feel. While
almost everyone you know makes decisions to act from their concern of
what will happen if they don't act - you are being inspired to
positive, joyful activity.
The motivation to act is inspired from two primary sources: From a
clear, exhilarated vision of what is wanted, or from a clear,
uncomfortable vision of what is not wanted. As we view your physical
world, we see that the majority of action is inspired from the
negative perspective of what is not wanted. Most are moved to act,
not because of their blissful, excited positive objective, but
because they believe that if they do not act, there will be negative
consequences. In other words, they do not go happily,
enthusiastically to their work because of their clear vision of the
value of this work. They are not joyfully inspired to action because
of their clear picture of their desire. Most work because they
believe that if they do not work, they will not have money, and if
they do not have money, they will be without things they want.
When you are focused upon the negative consequence of what will
happen if you do not act, and so you act to circumvent the negative
consequence, YOU DO NOT CIRCUMVENT THE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCE BUT ADD
POWER UNTO IT. IT IS LAW.
You cannot have a happy ending to an unhappy journey. And you can not
have a happy journey when your motivation has been inspired from your
attention to a negative consequence.
The key point, here, is this: ACTION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BUT A TINY
FRACTION OF YOUR CREATIV EFFORT. The way you feel is primarily
responsible for what you are getting and what you are creating and,
indeed, what you are living.
So many find themselves in a state of futility because they just
cannot act enough to make the difference. They try, they struggle,
they persevere, but things do not improve. And the reason things do
not improve is because the very basis of their creative attraction Is
not coming from their action, it is coming from the way they feel as
they act.
