Gratitude

...And even more encouraging snippets:

"Close your eyes and visualize already having what you want - and the feeling of having it. Focus on being grateful for what you have at present. Enjoy it! Then release it into the universe. The universe will manifest it."

"All power is within you. You can do anything and everything. Believe in that."

"You get there by realizing you are already there."

I started doing some crystal magic last night. I read about it on tumblr and realized it would be a good extra "push" toward manifestation. All you're doing really is programming a crystal with your intention/desire. It's just another way for me to get my intention out there. Every night, I'll sit with the crystal, reaffirm my intention, and let it do its thing.

I also decided that I won't tell my parents I want to "drop out." Instead, I'm going to request a couple years off to experience life. I think they'd be more in support of that. Then, after those couple years, if I'm doing well (that IS my intention), I'll stray away from "school." Who knows? Maybe I'll be interested in it in several years. But right now, I'm not, so I won't waste that time and money.

I wonder if perhaps the reason I've had some intention fails is because of my lack of gratitude. I mean, it's not that I'm ungrateful. I'm just focusing more on my power as a piece of Creator, so I'm being assertive... for once. But in my assertion, I haven't really been expressing my gratitude. Must start doing that, too - and will pay attention to how it affects my results.

I'm trying to figure out ways I can get involved. P&D hosts a lot of events, but most of them cost money. So until I have a somewhat stable income doing art-related things, I can't really do much. But I'll have to make do. They're doing a night of divination on Halloween, so I may go do that if school allows. It's a shame that they're kinda far - otherwise I'd be making lots of trips. I might make a trip this weekend if time/school allows, just to nose around and see what's what (since the last time I went was my birthday back in March). 

Been working on my spiritual research journal. Already learning some interesting things, specifically regarding the twelve layers of the aura and aromatherapy, which I've taken an interest in. But other than that, not much else is happening at the moment.
