Abraham-Hicks Workbook Quote for the Day:

[Questioner has just graduated from college and says she doesn't know what to do with her life.]

Abraham:

When we hear someone say they don’t know what they want, which is a little different… or ‘I don’t know what I want to do,’ we want to argue with you just a little bit and say: well we think you know what you want. We think that you know that you want it to be stimulating. You want to be fascinated. You want to be of value. You want to contribute, you want to make a difference. You want to move forward. You want financial remuneration. You want to be interested in what you’re doing. We’re repeating but that’s a big part of it. You want it to be something that is satisfying.

So what we’re really hearing from you is, ‘I must surely know what I want, but I don’t know where to get it. I don’t know how to go about it. I don’t know how to orchestrate it. And we say that’s not your job. Remember step 1 is the asking, step 2 is the answering, and step 3 is the letting it in.

So, you are far better off … sort of chilling out, reminding yourself that everything’s all right, that you’re on schedule, that you’ll know it when you see it, that everything’s gonna be all right, that perfect things are coming to you.. than if you were out clambering around in a state of frustration trying to bang something into place or trying to make something happen.

Questioner:

So I shouldn’t like go apply for jobs and do action-oriented things?

Abraham:

Well you can if you want to because that can be fun also. In other words, sometimes by beginning something even though it’s not your dream job, in the process your desire is stimulated further. Our friend was talking about being in a 7 year law suit that she can actually acknowledge has left her in a better place because the experience itself has helped to clarify. So, we do not mean that you should do absolutely nothing. But one thing we would really clearly advise.. and that is that you try your best to follow your bliss. That you don’t do something because you think you ’should’, or you don’t do something because somebody else thinks you should. You do it because it feels like it might be fun, or it feels like it might be a good idea.

Questioner:

Well when I do something like that.. .. for example, I was taking voice lessons and in the beginning it was fun and now it isn’t fun anymore. And I don’t know if it’s not fun because I’m afraid that I’m not any good or if it’s because….

Abraham:

Well from what we can feel from you about that…. in the beginning your vibration was pure because you were hopeful, you were anticipating fun things, you were anticipating wonderful things, and in the pro… always, when we’re watching someone… whether they’re building an empire or a relationship or anything really… the majority of the energy flows while it’s still in the dreaming stages. Because there’s a tendency once you get in the action stages to get bogged down in the parts of it that you do not like. And so we would say that all that’s happened with your new music is that you’ve got thought focused upon where you are, instead of on where you’re going.

Questioner:

So where I’m going on me getting better or where I’m going with my music in the future?

Abraham:

Either one. In other words, what you’re wanting to do is keep reminding yourself of *why* you’re doing it… not the the nitty gritty of *what* you’re doing.

We’ve noticed that as we’ve watched all of you that your energy is always pure when you’re thinking about what you want and WHY you want it than it is when you’re thinking about what you want and how you’re gonna get it and where it’s gonna come from or who’s gonna help you, because you don’t have all the answers to those questions. And so all it does is activate the vibration of doubt and worry. Where if you’re thinking about what you want and WHY you want it, it’s usually a vibration of allowing that allows the Universe to open more doors for you.
