Your Highest and Your Best


I was talking with a friend last night at dinner about what we mean when we talk about tuning in to your highest and your best. The Law of Attraction is very important and there's been lots of focus on it lately. But it is only one part of the picture.

There are numerous other Universal Laws at work all the time - laws that one can access, and many do. Then there is what is often referred to as "God's Will", or "Fate", "Karma", etc. - the idea that you are NOT able to affect the outcome because it is somehow predetermined.

How does one reconcile these two seemingly opposing forces. Suppose you have your heart set on a particular job and you practice the Law of Attraction on getting that job. You picture yourself in the position, with the salary you asked for, with a terrific boss, etc. You ARE that job in your mental state. You ARE putting it out there into the Universe to manifest for you.

A week later, after all the interviews, the calls back and forth, etc., you receive the message that...you didn't get the job. Does the Law of Attraction not work? After all, you did everything right and yet, the final outcome didn't go your way.

What's going on here? It is very important to realize that there is a higher force at work at all times. I believe that this higher force is loving and wants only the best for each of us. Perhaps this higher force is gently turning your attention to something higher and better than what you "want". For this reason, you will want to remember that you are a spiritual being with a divine plan in this life.

In addition to tuning in to the specifics of what you want and invoking the Law of Attraction, remember to also dwell upon the idea of a divine plan of your life and you will be guided to the ideas, opportunities, people and situations that help you fulfill your highest and best. Dwelling on your divine plan also helps to clear out the wrong people, ideas, and situations that are not right for you and which do not belong to you.

Sometimes the NO you receive is the loving hand of your higher source taking care of you and preparing you for better. And remember, what you fight to get, you must fight to keep.
