Stand Up and Yield

Last week, I offered a story about how a LOA beginner lives in harmony with Law of Attraction. This week I offer a story about how a LOA intermediate lives in harmony with Law of Attraction. The LOA beginner learns to believe that “what I request, I receive.” A LOA intermediate user learns to do the work of releasing habitual thought-patterns and overcompensating actions, and allow the natural good. I refer to this as Stand Up and Yield.

This is one of the best stories I have on the subject:

“Thank you, thank you for arranging an appointment on such short notice. I just has to tell you this.”

My client gushed with excitement. As I felt that, I was especially interested.

“Something occurred to me” she continued. “You know how we have been talking about releasing the struggle and letting go? And remember last week I said ‘sometimes I don’t know I am struggling. I don’t differentiate what struggle looks like and feels like and sounds like on certain subjects. I don’t always realize that I am operating from an unnatural thought-pattern, because part of me thinks that is normal.’ Isn’t that funny?”

“Yes it is,” I agreed. “We all catch ourselves doing that, sometime.”

“Right. Well, this morning I woke up… let me back it up. I had dinner with a business friend I hadn’t seen for years and had a great time. And when I got home I wrote lots of appreciative thoughts. Then I went to bed. As I was waking up, I had all these happy feelings and musings rolling through my mind. And then, like an arrow, this thought zapped me. It felt awful and it sent me shooting out of my bed. That is when I realized, man, that thought is struggle. That is me struggling. It was a worry thought. It’s the same kind of thought I have said to myself over and over since I was a kid. The stuff I got from my parents. But this time, it was unbearable next to feeling that good. So I took my notebook and dropped right into a Focus Wheel. After about 6 of them, and 30 minutes, something shook loose.”

I heard her deliberately breathe and pause.

“Wow this is exciting.. good for you, “ I encouraged.

“Oh, there is more. I realized… that business is about creation. And worrying about my business is anti-creation. I have been using new technology and a never-ending stream of competitors as an excuse to worry about my business. As if by worrying I could improve things. I am beginning to trust that everything’s going my way and that Law of Attraction can resolve anything that bothers me better than I ever can.

I realized that I had one thought going through my head, one Flawed Premise as Abraham would say:

‘I can’t keep up with all of them.’

And then I realized that is not my business. It is not my work to keep up with them, whether it is technology or competitors or anything. My work is to keep up with Me. My business started from my heart, from my interest. That passion is the only thing to keep up with.

So I thought about the Natural Premise which is:

‘I can keep up with Me, or it is easy to keep up with Me.’

And then I felt this wave of relief. I felt like I did when I first started this business, all filled with fresh ideas, and excited to bolt out of bed each day. I felt a positive expectation, like I did when I was a kid. I felt…playful and refreshed. I kept repeating that phrase to myself all day.

I started to deliberately look at the marketplace and competitors as a kind of inspiration, a kind of play. Sure, I caught myself worrying, but I just let it go. If I was over-compensating with action for being off-center in my business, I stopped doing that. I said ‘All I need to do is relax and be breath. My next move will occur to me.” This is how my business started, things occurred to me. I felt so comfortable and secure because the only one I was paying attention to was me and Me.

I know we have been talking about this. I have heard you, SusanJoy. I listen to to those Abraham tapes. But it as if … it is real to me now. I get it! When I get IN the Vortex, I stay close to the reason I started this business. For the love of it. It’s not at all about keeping a scorecard. It really is how I feel good moment by moment. I just never knew that I was a prisoner of my own thoughts. I just had to stop all that. I couldn’t stand myself like that anymore. I feel this good, the business responds.”

And now, I am smiling because this is the reason I do what I do. That client in that moment of awareness. Now, it is time to offer a question: “I am so happy for you. Happy, happy. Now I have a question: do you know what you ‘did’ to let in in this awareness?”

“Yep, that is the best part. It’s all the stuff you’ve been offering, all those Abraham tools : lists of appreciation, Focus Wheels and Positive Aspects. I got tired of feeling bad, and started to get off my butt and do the work.”

And that is an example of intermediate Law of Attraction in action. It is doing the work and finding the abundance. You simply have to stand up and do the work. It is the discovery that you really are meant to thrive, if you just get out of the way. How do you get out of your way? That is for you to discover… that is your work.

Stand Up and Yield… the worry thoughts to hopeful thoughts.
Stand Up and Yield … the over-compensating actions to natural actions.
Stand Up and Yield … to the natural abundance that is your inheritance.
Stand Up and Yield.
