Acceptance & its energetic vibration

Sometimes I think that as we get older, its harder to find that acceptance we're used to having. Forget the "we", I'll speak for myself. Maybe its because I've chosen to do things with my life that require a larger sense of acceptance. Maybe I need to think about whether or not my expectations are realistic, to those I wish to have in my life.

Its been amazing, as an artist, to experience the energy of acceptance on an ongoing and consistant basis. Maybe I was feeling and dwelling on the acceptance so much so, that I had cut off ties with cynicism and reluctancy. Is that a bad thing? Can I remove those feelings from my work environment and still deem myself safe and surrounded by pure intentions?

I have been doing a fair bit of training relating to the law of attraction, and how to use it. The law of attraction states that you attract what you put out to the world. It seemed like, being in a circle of constant acceptance was a good move. It seemed that as long as my intentions were pure and clearly communicated, it seemed that the people that came in contact with me were the same. Yes, of course I'm going to attract the odd scam my way, why? Because scammers target everyone, *especially positive thinkers. According to the law of attraction, if my intentions are mindful and pure, I should be attracting people with intentions of equality. The reason is because the truth behind my intensions, the very feeling of it, is sending out energetic virbrations based on my every feeling and thought.

The law of attraction has helped me understand my thoughts on a deeper level. It refers to thoughts as physical matter. When I think of thoughts as physical matter, it puts into deeper comprehension for me, the value of the thoughts I'm having. Clearing my mind of internal reluctancies, fears, and doubts has taken years. I am working to open my mind more and more everyday. Whats happened in my model career over the past year is that I've uncovered a new level of professionalism and trust within myself. These two characteristics come together to ensure my infinite safety. Why? I am aware that the industry I work in is real, and professional. I am aware that I have been in unsafe positions enough times to know how to prevent myself from falling into the feeling of discomfort and in turn, an unsafe environment. I understand I have the tools and the words I need to use to garantee an always professional, comfortable, and relaxed environment. I understand that I have clear feelings and intensions that are very strong and will not be compromised. Finally, I have faith in my abilities as an entrepreneur. I know that my consistancy proves my professionalism and punctuality. I know that I offer something that has value and worth, and I work with people who think like-minded.

Sometimes people can't capacitate my lifestyle. It is part of my job to be able to accept that. I can understand how their lack of insight and understanding causes them to see what I do from a skewed eye. I understand that they have never done what I do, and have no desire to. It is not my job to push my passions on others. It is my job to continue to be passionate and consistant even when thoughts and ideas and vibrations of others don't match mine. It is true what is said: Life really does open up when you do. I stood in a shadow of doubt and skepticism for years, too reluctant to even move in a singular direction.

Three years later, my favorite thing to tell people: The most important thing you can do in life is start. I may not meet all expectations I have for myself, but today, I can start.
