           How to Allow More Current-sy into Your Life!  

Greetings, Gratefuls! 
 
Ah, are you sensing that it's harder to stay grateful with the eeeek-conomy doing its nose-dive right now? Welcome to the World of Risk. You see, great risk-takers get used to this kind of thing - whether financially, in relationships, or in politics - this is what risk looks like.
 
So go back over the recent presidential election. When they started out, did McCain and Obama know they were in for the roller coaster ride of their lives? ABSOLUTELY! And they signed up for it anyway!      
 
So did you and I. We came to this planet to enjoy the ride, which is easier when we remember that everything happening outside of us is simply a result of our inner-focus. Therefore, when we change our thoughts, the external must change with it.
 
Current-sy
 
Years ago I was selected as talent for a commercial for one of the largest companies in the Midwest. While we were in the president's office preparing to shoot the first segment, I was delighted to note that I had read most of the books on his shelf.  
 
Then I looked up at the doorway where the cameraman was setting up. Over it were just three large words. The phrase this executive saw every day as he sat at his desk was, "Be Here Now."
 
You have the ability right now to allow more abundance into your circumstances. It has nothing to do with how well your top salesman is doing or if your spouse just lost his/her job. Dear Ones, this can be our finest hour. The hour when we get that Abundance is an inside job. Therefore our formula is our foundation:
FGH.  Forgive the past (yourself and your financial advisor) be grateful for the present (wiggle those ten toes with me now) and hopeful for the future. That's it.
 
It's not about
- investing differently (unless you're referring to where you invest your thoughts) 
- our new president
- the price of oil
- those "crooks" at Fannie Mae
- turning off the lights when you leave a room (although that feels good to me)
- worrying more about what MIGHT happen next week or next month
 
In the past, we have often give our power away to these illusions. God bless us, we just didn't know better, so we B.C.'d  (blamed and complained) and felt like victims. You've been saying it for years - It's all about attitude. That truth has not changed.
 
I know four people in real estate who just finished their "best ever" year and are expecting to exceed it this year! We can join them by shifting the focus of our next thought.
  
Ask yourself:
 Out of my 100,000 or so thoughts today,
what percentage of my thoughts/energy are in current time?
 (Meaning, how many are not regretting the past or worrying about the future.)
 
Once you have your answer, that's how much "current-sy" you have to spend today. Since our only power and our only joy is NOW, that's how much abundance you are allowing.
 
If I told you not to worry...
 
If I told you not to worry, you'd only end up worrying about worrying. So I shall simply invite you back into gratitude for this moment. In his book, "How to Get Out of Debt, Stay Out of Debt and Live Prosperously" (which I read years ago during one of my most frightening financial moments) author Jerrold Mundis challenges us to ground ourselves in Now.
 
"Sit down with a pad of paper. Across the top write, Things in My Life for Which I am Grateful." Twenty years ago, this was the advice that turned my life around. Now I'm writing books based on the power of Gratitude. It stuck.
 
So will you spend your 100,000 thoughts today on the Past, Present or Future? The only ones that you can cash into physical abundance are feel good thoughts about the present. Use FGH to Be Here Now, and watch your Current-sy grow! 
 
 
Injoy,
MK

Educ8tor of the Month Dave Barrett Shares His Weekly WRAP Sheet with 8 to Great!
 
 
Dave Barrett - Educ8tor of the month
 
When Principal Dave Barrett of Adams Central HS took his faculty through an 8 to Great Inservice, he realized that he had been encouraging and rewarding gratitude for years.
 
Each week he has his staff complete a WRAP sheet: Weekly Report About Positives. It has room to write about a small or large student success, such as getting caught up after an illness or most improved student in Chemistry. 
 
Then it offers room for "A pat on a colleague's back" and "Tooting my own horn." From my days in the classroom, I can tell you any such appreciation is most appreciated!   
 
To download a version of Dave's WRAP sheet which you can edit to make it your own, click on the link below. Hopefully, this award will make his WRAP sheet this week!
