Open to the Possibility of a Kindle?

I just got an email...okay, I just READ an email...that said you can get an Amazon Kindle for only $299.

At first I didn't see how that would relate to this blog...but then I realized there are a lot of fantastic books on Law of Attraction that are available through Amazon...so I figured I would share the news.

I don't own a Kindle, but I have been thinking about it. I guess I would really want to see one in person and play with a bit before I decide to buy one. To me that is the downside to buying things online.

I mean, if I go to a store and try it out I'm not going to then go home and buy it online, right. And reading about something and all the bells and whistles is just not the same as holding it in your hand and trying it.

That being said, I have heard so many people rave about it that I've thought about it. Maybe that is why the email jumped out at me today...because I am being open to the possibility!

I do like the idea of having lots of books in such a small package, she says as she moves 4 books aside so she has room for her water glass! But I also really like how holding a book feels. I guess I'm torn. So I guess I probably won't get one until I am clear that it is what I want...maybe I can borrow one and see if I like it...how about that.

I'm open to the possibility that I will be able to have the experience of holding a Kindle and reading a book on it to see if that is something that would result in rockets of desire (right Abraham?)

Mindset and Making Life Changes

I have used a lot of Mindset tools. They have helped to me completely change my life. In so many ways.

Without them, I am sure I would still be working for someone else instead of being self-employed. I wouldn't have taken the leap because it wasn't in the training I got growing up. I was taught that to be "safe" you had to work for a big company.

Without changing my mindset I would never have bought real estate other than my primary residence. It certainly was not the model I had at home.

With my old mindset, I would still be almost 300 pounds--or maybe I would be even more than that by now. I got there because I was trying to live the life I thought I "should" live...I was living for approval rather than for the joy of what I want in life.

I am not saying these things to complain about my upbringing or blame my parents or anything of the sort. My parents did a really good job--certainly the best they knew how to do. They weren't perfect, but then what human being is?

I'm just pointing out that what I call mindset tools have helped me change my life in multiple areas. Without making a change to ones mind, it is not possible to make permanent change in your life.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.
--Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993)

Sometimes change requires physical effort. Mostly, I find it is emotional effort--which I think is even harder. I recently found that I was not practicing what I preached. I was "if not disgruntled, I was far from being gruntled" as an old friend used to say. Heck, I was disgruntled! And I think I was expecting someone else to pick me up out of it! Fortunately a friend pointed out to me the energy I was putting out to the universe. This led me to go back to some of the mindset tools I had successfully used in the past, but for whatever reason had let slide lately.

So yes, I have to physically read the books or listen to the audios or watch the DVDs or do the meditation and visualization. However, the biggest action I have to take is on my willingness and excitedness to take the action--my own attitude about it. If I chose to stay all "poop-y" the actions would not give me results because I wouldn't be open to them!

I have chosen to reopen my heart, mind and soul. I am back using the tools. I am seeing changes already. Guess some lessons are not learned with a single run through! I knew that, but it appears I needed a reminder!
