From Abraham & Hicks:
Is employment an opportunity or bondage? Because what you really want is freedom, many of you equate working for other people as bondage. But if you would realize that the corporation, as an entity, is not so different from the individual, it might be easier to understand the employer’s decisions.
Long before the building or the workers, the visionary of the corporation had an idea for something that began summoning Energy. So years later may you are hired as part of that team and, without realizing it, you are now the beneficiary of that continuing flowing Energy.
When you step into one of those employment positions, Life Force is summoned through you because of the vision of the founder – unless you’re bucking the current. Most get into that fast moving stream and paddle against the current – and then complain about it being a hard ride – where they could get into their canoe and easily paddle with the fast moving current.
You can soar and thrive in any environment as long as you are not seeing things that you are using as your reason to paddle against the current. And so it doesn’t really matter what others are deciding.
The question is: “As I am choosing to stand here, it’s a way for dollars to f low through me in exchange for the effort I am offering. Am I predominatley letting the energy flow through me or not? Am I letting it in?”
What does this mean to you?

Hi Judy,
It took me a long time to wrap my head around this concept but when I finally did it worked in my favour in so many ways – reducing stress was the biggest benefit. I use these terms to describe exactly what you’re saying here: since I can’t change the situation and/or other people’s behaviour, I have to change my reality. Or, here’s another way of saying it, I have to change my expectations.
From an employee point of view, I would say that paddling with the current is another way of changing one’s expectations. It’s remarkable how liberating this concept is. And the bonus – it really really really works with teenagers…you know, those crabby strangers who live in your house, eat your food and take every opportunity to say something snotty? Ya. Them.
I will always make an effort, as you recommend, to let the energy flow through me. Great advice, as usual!!!
ps please pardon my Canadian spelling of words – it’s not that I’m in love with the letter U or anything…
