Hi readers :) No Myspace blog anymore, but the art of writing keeps the same... so welcome to my "new-old" blog. It was created in San Francisco in 2007, and I used it only once, but never again... Regarding the changes in my life, this is a welcome blog to me. I'm going to write this down at first in Portuguese (my original language) then next day you'll have it translated to English.
I washed my car today as I always do, but usually I wash it on Mondays. It drives me mad that in the middle of the week it is completely dirty again, full of dust and messy bacause of the kids I take care of... and the car keeps as dirty as before until next Monday. Oh, do I have to change this too? Will I have to wash the car twice a week from now on? Yes, the answer is yes, this is my decision. I'm not rich, so I wash the car with my own hands... but I loooove it... I listen to music with the Ipod, I sing while I'm washing it. The neighboors probably think I'm a little crazy. Anyway... it was during my car wash that I started thinking about my life again. With the Ipod in my ears? No... it had low battery, and I wanted to have it for the gym. So... while I was washing the car I thought "I want my own car, I don't want to borrow it". I use my host father's car, but it's much better to have the pleasure of taking care of your own car... And I will have my own car soon here in Los Angeles, and it will not take so long, do you know why? Because there is the Law of Attraction and the power of God in my life, more and more each day of my life.
My own car is one of the things I want, but it's not only the car. I want many things, and with my thoughts and faith I will have everything I want.
A very special person asked me one day "What do you really want?" He wanted to know what I really wanted for my life, my wish, and thousand things came to my mind, but I had no answer. Since that annoyed me so much, I started thinking a lot about what I really want.
We always know what we really want, but for sure we don't have only one thing we wish, and we also know that we need to set priorities, I mean we need to realize some things before others.
Have you thought of what you really want?
Gosh, I have a list of what I want, but now my biggest goal is related to my career. I wanna work with the most important producer in the USA related to the popular music field. His name is David Foster. All I know is that... the day that this man hear my voice he won't let me go cause I'll make him richer :) A dream? Of course it is, but a dream come true will be much better.
David Foster... I thought so much about him that I met him at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas when I was on vacation, and it was there that I realize that it would not be impossible to give him a demo someday, so he could listen to it. But how would I be sure that he was really going to listen to my demo? The power of my thought, my faith. By thinking of all that this man was in front of a woman who came from Brazil... I was shaking.
Reflecting about this subject I read a few books, some of them told by people I consider important to me. I'll mention two amazing books which have been helping me a lot, I finished reading both last week:
- The Five Love Languages, by Gary Chapman
- The Secret, by Rohnda Byrne
Both books tell about things that I can't live without and these things are priorities in my life: love, conquer, and God.
When I talk about love I mean to love people, my family, my friends, my boyfriend, my husband, God, the nature, my life.
Conquer? To conquer dreams, people, challenges, trust, material things, everything.
God? God is. God is the verb as Genesis tells us, so God made me, He's my beloved Father.
Reading these books I realized so many things, and one of them is what I've learned before about love. From the Bible (Corinthians) we have "...From all [of these], the greatest is love".
In The Secret the author says "There is no getting away from the Law of Love. It is feeling that imparts vitality to thought. Feeling is desire and desire is love. Thought impregnated with love becomes invincible". Oh, what a beautiful thing I read. That's why I love reading... Everything we do with love in our daily lives becomes invincible, good, nice, positive thought, faith.
I came to Los Angeles because of the love I have for my life, and because of the love I have for singing, because of the love I have for my career, because of the love I have for God, because of the love I have for people who heard me singing and for those who will hear me singing someday. In The Secret the author concludes that the greatest secret is the Law of Attraction. You can know what your really want when you ask yourself "what do I really want?, you think you're capable, you believe. Finally, you receive. This happened to me. For so many years I had the dream to be where I am now, in the USA. I always wanted to live abroad, and always wished for the First World where I knew I would be happier. Here I am. Did it take a long time? Many years are short years if I see the many many years I have ahead in my life, and as Albert Einstein says "Time is just an illusion".
The Law of Attraction...to think of something you want to, to visualize what you want to... it depends on how you think of something (if you're positive, you atract, if you're negative, you keep it away. Do you want a lot? It's about faith, God and love. It becomes your reality. It becomes gratitude.
Part of the book The Secret says:
He is "a gorgeous-looking man with all these actresses around him because that's the work he does, and he doesn't have any romance. I asked him "what do you want?" "I want to date three women a week. I said "ok, paint it. Paint yourself with three women a week, and hang it in every corner of your living space". Six months later I saw him and asked, "How is your love life?" "Great! Women call me, they want to date me". "Because that's your wish", I said. He said "I feel great. I mean, for years I did not have a date and now I have three dates a week. They're fighting over me". "Good for you", I said. Then he told me "I really want to stabilize. I want marriage now, I want romance". "Well, then paint it". He painted a beautiful romantic relationship, and a year later he got married , and he's very happy".
Readers... we are what we really want, think of, believe, act, receive and give thanks.
Reading Five Love Languages I realized that "Love is a choice". I chose to love my family, even though my father stopped me from having my career for years, or even knowing that my mom didn't teach me how to be more feminine, or knowing that my sister bit me when we were kids, even though my cousin never gave me a present. Love is a choice, you love if you want to love. I chose to love life, that's why I decided to look at the stars in the evenings, and I give thanks for them. I chose to love myself, that's why I decided to do what I like to do, not work for the money only. I chose to love my friends, that's why I have true friends. If you choose to love money only, you'll be a millionaire. But be aware of what you love and wish cause your thought becomes things, and to wish things without love destroys you. In that same way, if you don't think in a positive way you destroy what you really want. I've been going to the gym and eating salad, and I've been thinking that it takes too long to loose weight, it will take forever, shit. I've just changed. Today I lost more weight, tomorrow I'll loose it more, and I'll be back to my normal self again and fell better and more beautiful. I want to be even more beautiful hehe so I think constantly of it, I visualize it, I receive it.
God is love. I want love. I want God. I think of God, I speak of God, I receive God.
I want a good man. I want. I think. I visualize. I act. I'll receive him. I'll thank for him.
I can't let my list without many things... God, a happy family, a good man, a successful career. Success in everything in a general way. I have around 6000 thought a day as every human-being, I can't control them all, but the ones I really want to, I control it, I think, I believe, I visualize, I act, I receive, I give thanks.
Give thanks, don't forget your gratitude. I give thanks for my blog.
I give thanks to God for everything.
Have a great weekend readers cause mine will be unforgettable!
With LOVE,
