What does it take to “choose yourself” and trust in the inner flame that powers your dreams? You need to learn how to make decisions about what helps or hinders you on your path. James Altucher and his wife, Claudia Azula Altucher, have written a book called The Power of No that comes out today from Hay House. They offer powerful advice about using the word “no” to help you move past all the things that don’t serve your mission in life, your inner peace and happiness. The Power of No is filled with the insight and encouragement you need to choose the calling of your heart over all the other voices and forces, customs and clichés that want to direct your life for you. 

Below you’ll find a wonderful exercise that James and Claudia have included in The Power of No to illustrate the joy that is ours when we find ways to share and to serve.

Namaste,

By James and Claudia Azula Altucher

We’ve talked about the law of attraction. There are plenty of books, videos, seminars, gurus, astronauts, aliens, angels, and gods who speak of its miracles.

Let’s play a different game for a second.

Every time you do a kindness without any hope of credit or return, God cries a teardrop of happiness.

So try this:

• Know that your word is good enough to manifest anything you want. The law of attraction, as discussed in many texts, will work for you.
• Know that every day you are entitled to your share of the miracles of that day. In fact, if you trust the universe, miracles will be delivered each day. Coincidences that are not expected. A river that will flow bountifully into an ocean, if you ride with it.
• So say to yourself, I dedicate today’s miracles to everyone else. I want none of them, but I hope everyone else will benefit.
• Picture all of the people around you enjoying the miracles that were meant for you and living healthier, wealthier, and wiser lives because of those miracles.
• Smile, knowing that the truth you have cultivated has now set everyone else free.
• Begin your day, knowing that you are one of the secret miracle carriers.

Seen in this way, miracles flow through us, and we can recognize the infinite blessings all around us.

Today God sheds a tear, and you set sail on His teardrop. Enjoy.
