No hunter places a trap while the animals are watching. Like a hunter, negativity tries to catch you with traps of negative thoughts and feelings.

Then that negativity, having no energy to sustain itself, dissolves.

Be flexible. There is nothing sacred about a schedule on paper. Be available to what is, what Spirit is directing.

It takes a high degree of intelligence to cooperate with what is going on. In your mind, however, you will usually not allow it to be like that. You'll say that it is not so. It is your attitude towards things that either blocks you or frees you.

Sometimes we've desired something and didn't get it, and we've cussed God, our wives, our husbands, our lousy kids, and everybody else in the world -- and then weeks later the better thing comes forward. Then we don't know what to do because we've put God down, we've put our wife or husband down, we've put the kids down, we've put everybody down, but here comes this wonderful opportunity. It's because Spirit, the substance of life, had the better one coming for you and negated the one that was not going to give you the fullness that you had tuned in to.

Your children will tend to cope with the world much the same way you do. Children learn by example. If you don't do too well, how are they going to do better? If you're really good at lifemanship, however, they're going to learn. Take your children out into the world and teach them what to do.

If you create an attitude of supporting yourself and others in doing the best you and they can, many aspects of creating your abundance can fall into line. Many people think that wanting the best from themselves and others can often be demanding and painful. It doesn't have to be. You don't have to demand or expect it. You can go for it with encouragement and enthusiasm. It's a matter of recognizing that "going for it" is a matter of first doing the best you can, which may not always be perfect.
