The Carnival of Deliberate Creation #4: 4/19/07

Welcome to the fourth edition of the Carnival of Deliberate Creation. This carnival is all about providing resources for those interested in the Law of Attraction. This week we have an excellent (and extensive!) collection of articles and posts presenting lots of diverse points of view. Many thanks to all of you who submitted your work to this edition!

First off we have Letting Go of Resistance from Debra Moorhead at Debra Moorhead.com. This article explains why simply thinking about something you want is sometimes not enough—you may actually be thinking about the lack of what you want and manifesting that into your life instead (resistance). Debra does a wonderful job explaining how to recognize when you are in a resistant state, and how to turn it around. Favorite quote: “If you continue to think what you’ve thought, you’ll continue to get what you’ve got.” Thanks for this Debra!

Next up, Karen Lynch of LivethePower presents The Happiness Quotient. This is an inspiring article about the importance of simply seeking happiness. There are some real gems in this piece, I’m particularly fond of the quote from Abraham Lincoln: “Most folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be.” And, there’s much much more. You’ll just have to check out this wonderful post to see it all for yourself.

We’ll follow that up with The Secret Remixed: It’s Not About The Stuff! posted by Nneka at Balanced Life Center. In this post, Nneka takes a look at the Law of Attraction from beyond the glare of the recent The Secret media frenzy. She explains that having grown up with knowledge of the LOA, she feels that The Secret “oversimplifies it and presents it out of context.” I very much enjoy the way Nneka gets us to think about the sheer power at our disposal when we understand that by working consciously the LOA we literally have the power to change worlds. Thanks Nneka!

Next we have Law of Attraction: Your Life in the Residual posted by Shauna Arthurs at Law of Attraction|Breathing Prosperity |Cross the Wealth Gap Today!. I knew I was going to like this post when I read this opening line: “Look around you…everything you are looking at is a result of your past thoughts and actions”. This article is about changing the way you perceive your world. As Shauna explains, you can either look at what IS, or you can focus on how you want things to be. Well done Shauna!
