Gahhhhh it seems like every thing is going to hell lately, although I know I shouldn’t dwell on that. I write inspirational articles to try to help people feel positive, but here lately it seems like I’m the one who needs to take my own advice. I guess sometimes we all have to be tested. I’m trying to think of every thing I’m going through as a learning experience.
1. We can get lost in the darkness and forget the small light or
2. We can concentrate and focus all of our attention on that small light.
Even if the past and the present are both filled with unhappiness and sadness, that doesn’t mean that the future will be as well. Our past thoughts and feelings are part of what makes our present, and our present thoughts and feelings will create our future. If it seems like that nothing goes our way, time and time again, then perhaps we’ve been “lost in the darkness”. If we can go back and look at the happy times in our lives, as well as find gratefulness for the good things we have now (even if it seems like there’s not many), then we will be choosing option number two. We will be focusing on that small light. When we put all of our thoughts and hope on that small amount of light, it can open the doors to a more wonderful future. The more we remember that small light, and the more thankful we are for it, the bigger and brighter that light will become. We must all take a look at our pasts, and try to think of all the good things that have happened, even in the most dire of situations.
Think of all the good things happening to us now, even if it doesn’t seem like much. By focusing on the small good things, we are focusing on that small light. The more grateful we are for the good things, the more the light will grow and the brighter our future will be. Try spreading that light out over all the darkness. Try spreading the hope out over all the despair. The more we overlook that small light, the more lost in the darkness we will
I feel that way myself many times. I always try to remind myself that the world won’t be against me forever, some day the light inside of me will grow stronger and greater than anything in this world. This is true for all of us. That little light, no matter how small, can become more powerful than the entire world as long as we believe in it. If we want to change the world, we have to first change ourselves. We must first believe in that light inside of us.

Meditate - Meditate for at least 20 - 30 minutes 2 or 3 times a week. Imagine your body being surrounded by a very, very bright light. If you’re someone who has trouble staying still, there is such thing as “walking meditation”. Go outside for a walk on a nice day. Slowly walking on the rail of the tracks is a good way to meditate (ONLY for those who live near old, abandoned tracks). Say this over and over again “I float, not walk. I float, not walk” and focus on your breathing. You are less likely to fall off if you do those two things. Just use common sense and don’t wear earplugs so you can hear if a train is coming.
Breathing Technique - Speaking of breathing, a good way to help stay calm is to spend a minute focusing on your breath. Close your eyes, put your right hand over your chest and your left hand over your belly. This can be done anywhere, anytime. Breath in deeply (it’s up to you whether to use your mouth or nose) and count to 4, hold it for 4 seconds, then realize. Hold it again for 4 seconds, and then start over. Count to 4 with each of the 4 steps. Continue this for a minute or two.
Cuddle with your pets- There is not much in the world sweeter than a happy cat or dog. Petting and loving animals is a great way to help one stay calm. It is a great way to help raise your vibes. It will make them feel great too. Pets can sense a mile a way when something is bothering their human. My cats run up to me and try to comfort me whenever I am upset, even if I’m in another room. It would stand to say then that pets know when their humans are really happy as well.
Your Favorite Childhood Cartoons - Do you remember the type of cartoons and movies that made you happy when you were a small, carefree child? Long before you ever started feeling the stress of finances, relationships, or health? Would you like to relive those moments again, even for a short while? Go to youtube and rewatch your favorite old cartoons. Smile and laugh at them again, just like you did long ago. Go rent your favorite childhood movies as well.
Coloring/Drawing/Painting - While you’re in that mood again, you might as well go out and get yourself a coloring book and crayons, or maybe even those jumbo activity books. As far as I know they still make those. Go ahead and let your creative, inner child shine through again. I can’t stress how much at peace you’ll be with yourself, even if it is just for a short while.
Affirmations - Try using affirmations too while you’re at it. Try this along with the breathing technique. I have found that the easiest and calming affirmation for me is “Every thing’s gonna be ok. Every thing’s gonna be ok. I promise, every thing’s gonna be ok”. Some people have trouble truly believing the finances and health affirmations that you can find anywhere on the web, but to remind yourself that “Every thing’s ok and every thing’s gonna be ok. I promise myself.” is more believable to some people. To remind yourself that, over and over again, that somehow, someday, every thing’s going be ok, is a good way to stay calm. If you would like to try some money or health affirmations, make sure never to use any negative words such as “not” or “never”. Do not say “I am not fat. I am not fat”, but instead say “I am thin. I am thin. I am thin. I am going to lose more weight and be even thinner”. Never say “I am broke and need more money”, the only thing you will be affirming is that you are broke and need more money. It’s a whole lot better to say “Every thing is going to be ok and my finances will continue to increase”. Another good affirmation is “I am financially free and secure. I trust that God/Universe/Fate/whatever will continue making it so”. Some people prefer writing their affirmations down 15 times a day instead of saying them allowed. That is fine too. Just make sure you are in a positive mood when you do.
Laughter - Laughter truly is the best medicine, it will heal your soul faster than anything else. Whenever you get a chance, do anything and everything you can think of that will make you smile and laugh a whole lot. Watch your favorite stand up comedians on youtube, watch your favorite comedy skits, reread your favorite humorous book, go out and do something fun with a friend. Make sure the two of you spend some time being silly and getting a good laugh at yourselves.
I have spent time doing everything I just mentioned over the last several months and have finally found peace and freedom in my life. I am also having better luck than ever and attracting wonderful things and people into my life. I still have some bad luck here and there, but I try to remember that everyone else does too. Try doing many of these things yourself as much as possible, and you will be raising your vibrations a lot too. You may not notice instantly, it may take some time and the changes may be subtle, but like I’ve been saying, “Every thing’s gonna be ok. I promise”.

How to Hold the World in the Palm of Your Hand
By: Avonlee

I am going to explain to you the secret to getting everything you want. It’s quite simple really. I promise it’s easier than you probably think. All it takes is for you to remember one simple rule: The Universe and Fate give to those who feel they deserve it most. So all you have to is prove to the Universe that YOU deserve great things. We each have a God or Goddess inside of us, remember that, let the God or Goddess inside of you shine through, and the Universe will put you on a pedal stool. In order to live like a God or Goddess, you have BECOME a God or Goddess. You must do this first and foremost above all else. When you recognize and accept that part of yourself, the world will be tilted in your favor. It’s not enough to tell yourself you’re a God or Goddess, you must TRULY believe it and TRULY become it. How can you TRULY let your inner God or Goddess shine through? Here are a few tips:
**********
***Smile and laugh more than anything else. Even if you don’t feel like smiling or laughing, do it anyway. Think back to the times of your life when you were happiest. Gods and Goddesses have everything so why shouldn’t they smile and laugh whenever they feel like it? They can do whatever they want! They have no worries, no fear. Nothing in this world is greater or more important than having fun and enjoying oneself. Go back to the days when you were a child, before you started having worries about debt or relationships or health. Do you remember the things that made you happy as a child? The carefree innocence and the fun? Do those things again. Do them now. Trust me, the world will be a better place for you again. I promise it will be. Watch your favorite childhood cartoons or shows on Youtube. Play your favorite childhood games. Go back and play with your favorite childhood toys. Children are more like Gods than the rest of us, their aloofness and happiness makes them that way.
***Think back to all of your habits and hobbies that have been in your life ever since it started going down hill. Is there a way you can give up those habits one at a time now? Do those hobbies make you as happy like the hobbies of your childhood? The reason you’re not attracting love, abundance, happiness, freedom, and/or good health now, is a mixture of all the things you do and believe on a daily basis. You must try to become a different person. You must change these things, even if you don’t believe you can. You may like the way you are or the things you do consciously, but deep down inside you are pushing away all the good things life can bring; even if you don’t realize it. Try cutting out one small habit at a time. Try a new hobby (or go back to a childhood hobby) one day at a time. You’ll be thankful and much happier in the end.
***Change yourself a bit physically too. Gods are supposed to be very handsome and Goddesses are the most beautiful of females. Why do you think all of the lucky, wealthy, famous celebrities are so good looking for? There is nothing wrong with being a bit vain. Gods and Goddesses are supposed to be vain! Love yourself very, very much. Look in the mirror if you have to and tell yourself how beautiful you think you are and how much you love yourself. The more you appreciate yourself, the more you will appreciate life; and the more you appreciate about life, the more you will BE GIVEN TO APPRECIATE! Get your hair done differently, start doing your nails or trying out different make up. Start dressing up nicely even if you don’t plan on going out and doing anything. Indulge yourself. And guys, try different cologne than usual. Start dressing yourself like a rich man. You’re a God, start looking like one! Who cares if you don’t have a dime in the bank, or if you’re thousands of dollars in debt. Who cares if things seem to be going down hill for you. YOU ARE A GOD! LADIES YOU ARE GODDESSES! That fact alone puts you up higher on the ladder than most people! Remember, once you start to live like a God or a Goddess, all of your dreams will start to fall in place.
**********
I myself was born and raised in a trailer in West Virginia. My family has always been low-middle class. I grew up happy, but I always felt like I was lacking money. Even when I was a small child, all I heard every day was my parents going on and on about how “poor we were”. “We’re never going to have enough money! We never have enough money! We never have any luck! Why is God mad at us? Blah blah blah..” So looking back, I think that’s part of why I myself had been poor as an adult, from the moment I turned 18 until my mid twenties. Hearing statements like that for the first 25 years of my life pounded into my subconscious and that’s all I knew. When I was thirteen, our trailer and everything we owned got wiped out completely from a flood. So trust me when I say that at the age of thirteen, I knew what it was like to literally have nothing. Things have gotten better since then of course, but I never once was able to retain the carefree happiness I knew as a small child. My childhood died that day. Can you look back and pinpoint the one thing that may have triggered your bad luck in life? Or could it be a series of things? It’s only been recently when I looked back to reflect on all of that myself. Now I have some ideas why I’ve struggled with everything from finances to relationships to anxiety disorders since then. I decided I would have to revisit the happy times of my childhood prior to the flood. I would have to BECOME that child again. I would have to let the GODDESS within shine through. And now, surely but slowly things are going my way. For once in my life, I can safely say my dreams are coming true. It is all due to these revelations that I have had; the revelations that I am sharing with you in this manual. If my dreams can come through, I know all of yours can too. Do everything that I have told you. Do these three steps, just THREE steps, and you will be well on your way to having the world in the palm of your hand:
1) Smile and laugh as much as possible, just like a carefree child.
2) Change your habits and hobbies one by one; even the small things that may seem trivial that you find yourself doing occassionally.
3) Get a makeover. Change yourself physically as well. How, in your minds eye, would a God or Goddess look? How would they appear in human form? Start looking like that yourself. Look in the mirror several times throughout the day and tell yourself how wonderful you are and how much you are loved. It may sound silly, but I promise it works.
If you do all these steps, one by one, little by little, life will be improved. Your luck will start changing for the better. You will attract the attention of the Universe and Fate more, and they will be more willing to help you. “God helps those who help themselves”, right? Stop whining. Stop worrying. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You ARE a God! You ARE a Goddess! Never forget that, and Fate won’t forget about you.
