BONUS!
August 1, 2000
By Shelia Shumate
A bonus is something given
over and above what is due. What if you spent this day ‘giving a bonus’
to each activity? Giving something back with more than what is due. What
if you
decided to go that extra mile for
your employer, do something over and beyond that which you would normally
would do, and do it without any expectations of getting anything
in return? Get in touch with the feeling of giving something with no expectations
of receiving.
What if you decided this is the
day to give a little more than expected in your relationships? Bring flowers
or cook the meal or do something that would not be expected and imagine
how overjoyed the other person would be. What if you decided to give
an employee a bonus on their paycheck just for the sheer satisfaction of
doing it? Imagine their happiness and the smile it
would bring to their face.
Imagine everytime you give a bonus
you get a bonus in return. It may come back that day or next week
or two months from now. Keep in mind, the energy and intent of what we
put out today comes back: bonus begets bonus .
Make this day one of giving more
than expected and Just Be!
I’M NOT NEGATIVE, AM I?

So often, we don’t think we’re putting
out negative vibrations. But if we keep getting negative situations, then
it is time to think about what we are putting out that brings that back
negativity. Maybe your thoughts are unconscious and filled with worry,
fear, doubt or guilt. Let’s take a look at what we might be putting out
that we are not aware of.
If you are thinking statements like:
I don’t want to lose my job.
I don’t want to get a divorce.
I don’t want to entertain tonight.
I don’t want to go to the store.
I don’t want to wait.
I don’t want to be taken advantage
of.
I don’t want to go to work.
I don’t want it to rain.
I don’t want to feel bad.
If we think any of these thoughts,
they are all negative and that energy is put out into the universe
Reflect upon how often you get into “don’t wants.” When you hear yourself
say that, change your words and feelings to something different, then come
from the place of power. Power is realizing that you have a choice.
I choose to find the best job for
myself.
I choose to have a wonderful relationship.
I choose to wait in line to mail
my package.
I choose to go to work.
I choose to change my attitude.
Think of what you want to create,
then choose to do it. By putting out your choice of what you want, you
come from inner power. Say those words right now. “I choose to....” and
feel the difference.
Make this a day of powerful choices
and Just Be.
