Hey All!

I always find the best knowledge from others on the forum and I just adore the uplifting stories I am continually finding. I have created a "swipe file" of favorite quotes, sayings, and suggestions and I would like to share some, and hopefully find more, of what member's have said that really resonated with me. As I am taking this from a swipe file and I haven't saved the names of the posters, I am unable to give credit, though I will try to in the future. If it came from you, go ahead and brag! :) Or just know that I love you so much and truly appreciate your sharing of wisdom.

Here goes:

"Funny, but my pants seem to be getting looser and looser". At first I said it deliberately to get the feeling ... but soon it became true.

"I love you, but I love me more. I've been in a relationship with myself for 50 years and that's the one I need to work on".

**Jody1**

OH, those are both great ones!! I can relate to and use both! What a good idea to make a file of things that stand out. I sometimes print them in color and tape to my desk, and I rotate them. Sometimes Abe quotes, and sometimes AbeForum Member quotes!

Hey pjloa - lovely idea for a thread - and I do believe one of those is mine (or it could be!) ::LOL

I have been trouble getting remembering these teachings lately in regard to my relationship- and a wise Aber friend said this to me

"If you keep being the "old you (Cathryn)" he's going to keep trying to revive the "old relationship".

Ping!!!!!!

Oooh, I love this. So many people have said so many great things on here. But, my very favorite thread that I still think about daily is from inherview. And this is one of the quotes from that thread.

"so in other words, you really don't have to TRY AND MAKE something happen. you just have to TUNE yourself into, turn your dial to, the reality where what you want is already happening perfectly!

tune into the tailored-to-you program that Source is perfectly broadcasting right now!"

Here's that amazing thread:

**GoodThingsHappening**

One of my favorite quotes comes from the incredible Cara.

It is more than just turning away from unwanted - it is more powerful than that. When Jesus offered the other cheek in response, it is a replacement of fear with love. It is saying: what you are doing to me (fear) is not affecting what I am offering (love). It is more that you return unkindness with kindness because that is who/what you really are - unaffected by their unkindness... but it is hard - it is hard to turn towards what you want to be when you are focused on what you don't want.

That is why you have to care more about what you are vibrating than what other people are doing/saying...

It is much easier to care less about what they are doing, when you know that only what you are doing is affecting you!

I think what Cara says here is amazing.

What a great idea for a thread. I have benefited from so many words of wisdom written by people here.

So, off I went to choose some to share here and two hours later...

::LOL::LOL

But it's been a great two hours!! I was out of the vortex and now I have a foot by the door. I have reread so many gems that feel like relief.

I love these pearls of wisdom from forum members' enlightened children: -

Lee Watters: Augie, 6, today launched into this long explanation of how the world is really a big LEGO set and God is the big LEGO guy and we're all little LEGO guys who get to play whatever we want to play by putting the pieces together any way we want to.

Nattydread: On our way back from the store today, my three-year-old daughter suddenly became very concerned that we weren't going in the right direction to get home. After adamantly voicing her opinion of my error in our direction, my nine-year-old daughter chimed in to comfort her saying,

"It really doesn't matter which way we go,

all that matters is that we get there."

Scott: I heard my eldest (8 year old) daughter say a couple of weeks ago.

She was watching a reality show that had people trying to get themselves into physical shape should they and their partner be involved in some kind of cataclysmic situation where one had to rescue the other. At any rate, one of the participants was struggling through the physical training because of high blood pressure. The narrator mentioned that there was a family history of high blood pressure for this person.

When I later asked my daughter what she had learned from this show, her first comment was about the man with high blood pressure and how it was a family tradition for them.

Thanks guys!

My favorite is a statement by AZEche when I was struggling with making peace with where I was.

"when you make peace with where you are, you're not lining up with what is, you're lining up with your Inner Being, who sees the value in everything. Because your Inner Being is with your Vibrational Escrow where all of your stuff is (that's why you're being called forward), when you line up with your Inner Being, you line up with what you want."

This isn't a forum member. It's a line by the character samantha (Kim catrall) on Sex and the City. LOL. She's an aber too I guess.

**DelightfullyDelicious**

pjloa-I LOVE this idea for a thread!!! Thank you!!

I had some freetime this morning, so I read through a few old threads. The 'Wallace Wattles, Abraham and Princess Diana' thread is delicious. The name Wallace Wattles caught my attention because his book The Science of Getting Rich was one of the first LOA books that I read. I changed my focus on giving to charity from the information in this book. These post pertain to that and resonated with me.

I Love this quote from Aryana (posted August 4, 2008) about giving to charity: "I do not give money to groups that are "against" things- like the war against cancer, or the fight against diabetes... if they are FOR something, they get my attention!!"

and this one from the same thread by Yogini (Posted August 2, 2008) I especially like the change in focus for breast cancer awareness: "I liked what Wallace Wattles said about not doing charity work - I never was inclined to do it because I thought it was depressing! Since Abe I have not felt guilty about not "helping others". And another thing - every October there is Breast Cancer awareness month - there are pink ribbons everywhere - how about "I love my beautiful healthy breasts awareness month!!!!!!"

ooooh great thread ::hearts

I have lots of faves, will have to go dig them out, here's one though by AZEche, that he said in response to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and my messy logicon this great thread:

http://www.theabeforum.com/forum2/11922.html

Barbara,

Imagine that you're standing in front of the mirror looking at yourself. You look at your reflection and notice that it's not smiling. You don't like that your reflection isn't smiling, you'd rather see a bright, shining smile. So, do you sit there and criticize your reflection for not smiling? Do you decide that you simply cannot and will not smile until your reflection smiles first? Do you spend time worrying that your reflection won't smile back or talking about the injustice of why you have to look at this reflection that looks so miserable and how nobody should possibly have to put up with a reflection that looks like this or that other people get to look in the mirror and see their reflection smile and how come they're already seeing a smile when you don't. No, you understand that it's simply a reflection and that it can only reflect back what you're putting out. You don't even think about it, you just smile and then your reflection changes.

It isn't any more complicated than that. In fact, that's EXACTLY how Law of Attraction works... the only difference is the buffer of time. But that also means that yes, you do have to stop complaining about things and find a way to make peace with them. Again, just remember the absurdity of complaining about what your reflection is doing and the injustice of it all. Find a way to feel better consistently and the reflection that Law of Attraction brings back to you MUST reflect the improvement. It is law!

Barbara &amp; AZEche - ::wow. Why do we always try to make this more difficult than it is? ::chinEasy is so much better!

One of my favorites was from Radiant Rebecca. She posted her thought process about certain foods and her conclusion was that "Potato chips are good for your hair." Yes, indeed! I thought about that as I enjoyed some potato chips last evening.

And let me tell you, I have beautiful hair!::LOL

**andawe**

Barbara,

Thanks for sharing once again that brilliant passage from AZ...as I missed it the first time around. What an absolutely fabulous analogy AZ....stellar!

My fav quote came from wonderwhatif's very young daughter in a story he shared about her losing and then finding their cat (or was it a bunny?). She "knew" she would find him again and when she did, she confidently told her father, " Look Daddy, I changed my future."

Great idea for a thread pjloa and yes, I too love that line from Sex and the City....I love you, but I love me more. Who knew Samantha was an aber? LOL

**Cygnus**

The best quote I ever read on this forum was one in which member Angelina explained the concept of FEELING GOOD ABOUT FEELING BAD. After I happened to read it, it was a real turning point for me! Now, when I feel bad, I LOVE THE WARNING SYSTEM and I do what it takes to feel good again. It is my pivot and a beautiful thing!

Angelina is replying to a member who asks what FEELING GOOD ABOUT FEELING BAD means ...

"I spend most of my time feeling bad about feeling bad & I was just doing it again when I saw your post with my original statement at the top & rereading what I had written made me smile & snapped me out of it .......I get so discouraged about feeling bad because I am so used to thinking & feeling it so deeply AS ME, but when I REMEMBER (and you just reminded me again with your post!) that my feeling bad is not ME, it is an indicator that I am focusing on something that is continuing to make me feel bad (even though sometimes I don't even remember what it was that made me feel bad in the first place but I "get stuck" feeling bad about feeling bad & it goes on & on & on because I am still feeling bad about feeling bad! It's crazy!) BUT, when I REMEMBER what the feeling bad REALLY IS, I remember that it's a signal from my Inner Being, I remember that it is love coming from my Inner Being, I remember that it is my IB telling me that what I am doing is causing separation between us, then I feel good about feeling bad, I feel good that I now know that it is not really me, I feel good about this wonderful knowledge that I have now that I didn't have before, I feel good about REMEMBERING, and I feel GOOD about FEELING BAD, because I now know that I can always make myself feel better, it is so wonderful to remember to feel good about feeling bad, and it is beginning to feel easier & easier to feel good about feeling bad, & when I feel good about feeling bad, the bad don't feel so bad anymore........and right now I don't feel bad anymore, I feel pretty darn good so thanks ..."

(Quoted from Angelina)

This is the best!!!

What an amazing thread. I get so many wonderful quotes from here. I guess IÂ´ll go for one of the ones that really vibrated within me these last days. And itÂ´s come from you pjloa.

I would just add love yourself and make your priority to feel good about yourself no matter what and then (your quote):

Love this person as purely as possible, and they will mirror that love completely.
