DISARRAY

It’s easy to get caught in a negative spiral of hating on yourself, hating on others, and being envious of friends, and even successful family members. Reading “The Vortex” by Esther and Jerry Hicks was eye-opening and taught me to think positive to avoid attracting the things I don’t want into my life, (Law of Attraction). Here are some of my favorite quotes from the book, which will hopefully reform fellow “hating ass bitches,” as we head into the new year. 🤣🙏

As my New Year’s resolution, I’m on a mission to snap out this behavior of being negative and complaining to friends and family. While venting is a form of therapy, I’m not trying to be a bummer every time I talk to the people I care about. I almost ruined a family vacation by venting to my brothers non-stop during our Central Coast, CA trip.

Favorite Quotes and Lessons:

“If you are chronically complaining and not feeling good, it means you’ve trained yourself into a Vibration that just won’t let life get really good for you. So you say, ‘Well, I’ve got a lot to complain about.’”

“There is no reason to deliberately stir up problems in order to stir up solutions.”

“Negative emotions are disallowing the expansion of growth and success. ”

“Looking for positive aspects and expecting good outcomes for your friends and family is the only way you can be of value to them, for there is no action that you can offer that is strong enough to buck your current of negative attention.”

“Nothing good ever comes from focusing in opposition to what you desire. It is detrimental to you and to whomever you draw into your negative conversation.”

“It may sound odd, but the fastest way to get to a new-and-improved situation is to make peace with your current situation. By making lists of the most positive aspects you can find about your current situation, you then release your resistance to the improvements that are waiting for you. But if you rail against the injustices of your current situation, you hold yourself in Vibrational alignment with what you do not want, and you cannot then move in the direction of improvement. It defies Law.”

“You cannot continue to focus upon unpleasant thoughts without keeping the thoughts active within you and therefore holding yourself out of alignment with the solutions and relationships that you really do desire. In short, you just cannot get to where you want to be by pointing at the evidence of that which is unwanted. It defies Law.”

“What is manifesting on every subject in your life is an indicator of the beliefs you hold and your chronic patterns of thought.”

“Control over the way you feel—over your response to things, over your response to others or your response to situations—is not only the key to your consistent happiness, but to everything you desire as well. It really is worth practicing.”

“Any action taken from a place of lack is always counterproductive.”

“You can get to where you want to be from wherever you are—but you must stop spending so much time noticing and talking about what you do not like about where you are. Be a more selective sifter, and make lists of the positive things you are living. Look forward to where you want to be, and spend no time complaining about where you are.”

“You are creating by virtue of what you are thinking about, and so there is no advantage whatsoever to pondering, or remembering, or observing, or speaking of things you do not want. Make your active Vibration be about what you do want and notice how quickly your life changes to match your Vibration.”

“When you discover the art of looking for, and finding, positive aspects in others—so much so that you develop an expectation for positive things from others—only positive things can come to you.”

“If you are negatively focused and therefore not feeling good, you can only attract others who are in the same state of negative attraction.” 🤯😮

“If you are a person who has trained yourself to look for negative aspects, you will find them in yourself as well as in others. Therefore, it is always accurate to say that no one who is critical of others really likes themselves. It defies Law. Whenever you see those who are very critical of others, you are actually seeing people who do not like themselves.”

“When you look for, and find, positive aspects in your current situation, you are actually using your current situation as your reason to be a Vibrational Match to your own Vibrational Escrow, to who-you-really-are, to your Inner Being, and to everything you really desire. Feeling good about where you are is the fastest path to even greater improvement.”

“When you do become adept at directing your thoughts to things that are pleasing, the unpleasing people (or unpleasing aspects of those people) will leave your experience. It is your attention to the unwanted that holds it in your experience.”

“Focusing on the problems of the past, or the present, will guarantee a problematic future.”

“It is empowering to discover that any and all negative aspects stay in your experience only because of your attention to, and therefore continuing invitation of, them.”

“If you will simply imagine your life as you want it to be, all cooperative components will be summoned. And even more important, all components that are summoned will cooperate. It is Law.”

“Chronic thoughts of shortage, or chronic thoughts of pushing against those who are thriving, hold you in contradiction to your own desires.”

“If you seek financial well-being for yourself—you must praise it wherever you see it. If you would like more abundance for yourself, personally, or for others you care about—you must not criticize those who are experiencing abundance. When you criticize or condemn or push against anything, you activate an opposing Vibration to what you seek.”

“The negative emotion you feel, in your disappointment, anger, and condemnation, is the indication of the opposing thoughts within you. You are opposing your success. You are opposing your abundance. You are opposing your alignment with Source. You are opposing the Vortex that holds all that you seek.”

“That is our strongest message to you: Life is supposed to be good for you. You live, whether you know it or not … you live as the full recipients of a hurricane of grace that is flowing toward you, at all times, in answer to all that you have been asking for.”

“Look for things to appreciate, even if there aren’t that many. Look for things to feel good about, even if there are more things to feel bad about. Give your attention, as best you can, to the best things that are going on in your experience, with the determination to train yourself into the best-feeling Vibration that you can find right here and now.”

“The Law of Attraction, which responds to everything and everyone, says, That which is like unto itself, is drawn, so whatever Vibration is active, the Law of Attraction is making it more active by bringing more things that match it to it.”

“When you want something and you believe it, there’s no separation; you are offering one signal, and the Law of Attraction will bring it to you now. But when you want something and you doubt it—when you want it and you don’t believe it—now you’re offering opposing Vibrations, and you can hold yourself in that holding pattern all of the days of your life.”

“The reason I don’t get what I want is because I keep thinking a thought that’s in opposition to what I want.”

Hopefully, these quotes have taught you something. While repetitive, I think it teaches us to be grateful, think positive, and good things will come to us via the Law of Attraction.
