Daily Quotes from Abraham

You cannot judge the value of a life by its quantity. It is by the joy that you are feeling. The more joyful you are, the longer you live. Let yourself relax and breathe and be free and be joyous, and romp. The optimum physical life experience is to have plenty of things that stimulate you to desire, and an awareness of the way you feel, so you're reaching for thoughts that feel good--so you're wide open, so you're tuned in, tapped in, and turned on. We promise you, the timing of your death is always chosen by you. Chicago, IL -- 9/7/02 --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Saturday, September 7th, 2002 #423 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

When you try to justify where you are by pointing out how bad things are, you are headed in the wrong direction. Reach for the thought that feels better, And allow the natural Well-Being that is yours. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Detroit, MI on Saturday, September 27th, 2003 #422 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

If you knew everything was really all right, and that it always has a happy ending, then you would not feel trepidacious about your future. Everything is really so very all right! If you could believe and trust that, then, immediately everything would automatically and instantly become all right. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Silver Springs, MD on Sunday, April 11th, 1999 #421 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

When you manage to stay connected to your Energy stream, you always win. And you know what, somebody else doesn't have to lose for you to win. There is always enough. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, February 2nd, 1997 #420 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The greatest gift that you could give to anyone you love is the gift of positive expectation. But you can't give someone positive expectation until you know the Laws and have practiced them yourself enough so that they are very familiar. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Boca Raton, FL on Saturday, January 16th, 1999 #419 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The main event has never been the manifestation; the main event has always been the way you feel moment by moment, because that's what life is. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Syracuse, NY on Thursday, October 17th, 1996 #418 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Every time you say, "I appreciate that. I really like that. I applaud that. I acknowledge the value in that." Every time you do that, you spend some of your Energy, and it is the spending of the Energy that creates a vacuum, so to speak, or an attraction, so to speak, that draws more and more and more and more. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Sunday, November 2nd, 1997 #417 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

When you're vibrating purely, you get only what's a match to that. It's your ambivalence: "I like that but I don't like that... I like that but I don't like that..." that keeps what you like and what you don't like coming at you all the time. You don't have to "turn the other cheek" when you are in vibrational harmony only with what you want. Then, only what you want comes. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Sunday, November 1st, 1998 #416 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

If there is not something out here on the leading edge summoning what has come before it to it, then eventually there must be endedness. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, March 1st, 1997 #415 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You are an extension of that which is Nonphysical. You are the leading edge, more specifically focused, eyes of that which is Nonphysical. The current you're using as the Energy that you are creating with is the Nonphysical. We are all in this together. You are the more specific eyes of the Nonphysical Energy. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Sunday, November 1st, 1998 #414 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Your choices of action may be limited--but your choices of thought are not. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Saturday, May 25th, 2002 #413 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Be easy about this. Be playful about it. Don't work so hard at it. Let your dominant intent to be to feel good, and if you don't feel good, then let your dominant intent be to feel relief. Feel your way through it. If you think your way through it, you can get off on all kinds of tangents. If you feel your way through it, you can come quickly to your Core Energy, and when you do that only good can then flow to you. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Rye, NY on Sunday, October 12th, 1997 #412 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Most people have a hard time delegating, or even wanting to delegate, because you have been justifying your existence through your hard work, and you equate success with struggle; you equate results with struggle. And so, you sort of wear your struggle like a badge of honor. And all of that is opposite of allowing the Well-being. The only thing that ever matters in success or achievement is your achieving the things that you want to achieve. So if you are setting standards and you're feeling uncomfortable about the standards that you've set, tweak the standards back a little bit. Ratchet it back a notch. Give yourself a break. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt. Lighten up. Be easier. Go slower. Take it easy. Have more fun. Love yourself more. Laugh more. Appreciate more. All is well. You can't get it wrong. You never get it done. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Antonio, TX on Saturday, April 20th, 2002 #411 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The thought that you think, you think, which attracts to it; so you think it some more, which attracts to it; so you think it some more. In other words, when you have an expectation, you've got a dominant thought going on, and Law of Attraction is going to deliver that to you again, and again and again. And you say "The reason that I believe this, is because it is true." And we say, the reason that you believe it, is because you've practiced the thought. All that a belief is, is a thought that you keep practicing. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Indianapolis., IN on Tuesday, May 28th, 2002 #410 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You're not ever going to get it done. Every time you evaluate contrast and conclude and then line up your Energy and allow it into your experience... at the same time you are achieving the result that you intended, you also achieve a new perspective from which to intend. You can't stand still. In every moment, there is a whole new set of stuff... new ideas, new desires being born. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Detroit, MI on Saturday, April 25th, 1998 #409 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Since you have control over what thoughts you offer, what could be more just than the powerful Law of Attraction responding equally to everyone who offers a vibration? Once you gain control over the thoughts you think, your sense of injustice will subside and will be replaced with the exuberance for life and the zest to create that you were born with. Let everything in the Universe be an example to you of the way the Laws of the Universe work. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" #408 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Many tell us that they are so busy making their money that they do not have time to enjoy it . . . for when you rely on your action to create, often you are too tired to enjoy your creation. Once you not only understand the power of your thought, but you deliberately direct this powerful tool in the direction of things that you desire, then you will discover that the action part of your life is the way you enjoy what you have created through your thought. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" #407 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Be easy about it. Don't rush into things. Savor them more. Make more plans and be more deliberate and specific about the plans you are making, and in all you do, let your dominant intent be to find that which pleasures you as you imagine it. Let your desire for pleasure and your desire for feeling good be your only guiding light. As you seek those thoughts that feel good, you will always be in vibrational harmony with the Energy that is your Source. And under those conditions, only good can come to you -- and only good can come from you. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Philadelphia, PA on Tuesday, April 14th, 1998 #406 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

It's been a battle among humans, for a very long time, trying to get this picture of God into a place that is pleasing for them. And the debate about "Is it evolution? Is it creation? Is it God-inspired, or is it scientifically inspired…?" And we say, why does it have to be one or the other? Why can't everything that is wrapped up in science and vibration be the true essence of that which you call God? It is all one and the same. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Saturday, September 18th, 2004 #405 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You are adaptive Beings. And you're not finished as a species in your evolution. You are as unevolved now to what you will be 2000 years from now, or a million years from now—as the relics that you are digging up of the cave man. You are…we are all eternally continuing to evolve. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Kansas City, MO on Wednesday, September 15th, 2004 #404 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

As your world or your government, or individuals within your government, make decisions about what is better for you, and as they try to protect you from every possible potential experience, your lives become rather cumbersome, don't they? All you ever need is a vibration of Well-being. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in El Paso, TX on Saturday, February 17th, 2001 #403 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Illness or pain is just an extension of negative emotion. When you are no longer feeling any resistance to it, it's a non-issue. San Rafael, CA -- 8/3/02 --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Rafael, CA on Saturday, August 3rd, 2002 #402 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

"Do I have a responsibility to make the whole world beat to my drum?" No, nor could you. You beat your drum, and the Universe will respond to the drum that you are beating… There are as many different worlds being lived by as many different perceivers of the world as there are perceivers of the worlds. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Phoenix, AZ on Saturday, March 19th, 2005 #401 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Who you really are is Nonphysical Energy focused in a physical body, knowing full well that all is well and always has been, and always will be. You are here to experience the supreme pleasure of concluding new desires, and then of bringing yourself into vibrational alignment with the new desire that you've concluded -- for the purpose of taking thought beyond that which it has been before. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Cleveland, OH on Tuesday, July 11th, 2000 #400 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Is harmony one note that everybody is singing? Or is it a whole lot of notes that are in vibrational harmony with each other? When you give your attention to anything, the Universe responds to it. When two of you are giving your attention to it, and there is no contradiction, it is a powerful vortex. That's why a gathering such as this can achieve a great deal as you come together in greater and greater harmony and take thought beyond that which it has been before. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Sunday, April 25th, 1999 #399 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The emotion you feel is always about the vibrational variance between where you want to be and where you are. If you're out of balance, there are only two ways to bring yourself into alignment: Either raise your expectation to match your desire—or lower your desire to match your expectation. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, July 24th, 2004 #398 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You are perceptual beings with different vantage points and -- it does not matter how much information is given -- you cannot see beyond the vibrational limits of where you are standing. You cannot live or see or experience outside of your own individual beliefs. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Dallas, TX on Saturday, March 13th, 1999 #397 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

If your dominant intent is to feel joy while you are doing the work, your triad of intentions—freedom, growth and joy—will come quickly and easily into alignment. See your "career" as one of creating a joyful life experience. You are not a creator of things or a regurgitator of what someone else has created or a gatherer of stuff. You are a creator, and the subject of your creation is your joyful life experience. That is your mission. That is your quest. That is why you are here. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" #396 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Children coming forth today have a greater capacity to deal with the greater variety of information that is coming forward than you did. They deliberately are coming forth into this environment where there is more to contemplate. This generation gap that you are talking about, it has ever been thus. Each new generation, every new individual, that comes forth, is coming with you having prepared a different platform for them to proceed from. There is this thing that gets in the way of that that says, "I'm the parent. I got here first. I know more than you do." From the children's perspective, and from the purity of their Nonphysical Perspective, what they are saying is, "You're the parent. You got here first. You prepared a platform that I am leaping off from -- and my leap will be beyond anything that you have ever known." --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Rafael, CA on Saturday, February 27th, 1999 #395 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

I'll Not Ask Others to Become Different for Me... Let your Vibrational Escrow percolate, and you do your best to give it your undivided attention so that you become a Vibrational Match to it. And then, when the Law of Attraction brings all of it together and brings you, because you're a match, together with it - then there aren't any bugs to work out. Don't ask the person, or people, that helped you to define what you want to become what you want so that you can have what you want. (Oh, that was so good.) Instead, let them be the Step One part of it (the asking part). Use your willpower and your decision to focus upon what you want - and then the Universe will bring you what you want. --- Abraham Excerpted from Abraham's newest book, The Vortex, Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships The Vortex Order The Vortex Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Anything you do to overcome or prevent, causes a spotlight on the very thing you are wanting to overcome and prevent. You cannot take enough action to compensate for the Energy that you're flowing. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Philadelphia, PA on Tuesday, April 14th, 1998 #393 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

True healers know that wellness is the order of the day, so they do not allow themselves, even for a moment, to see anything other than that. So, the power of the healer is in the power to influence the one who needs to be healed into a vibration that allows the healing that they are summoning. (that they could get, even without the healer, but they can get faster with a healer's influence) --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, July 30th, 2005 #392 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Mining the moment for something that feels good, something to appreciate, something to savor, something to take in, that's what your moments are about. They're not about justifying your existence. It's justified. You exist. It's not about proving your worthiness. It's done. You're worthy. It's not about achieving success. You never get it done. It's about "How much can this moment deliver to me?" And some of you like them fast, some of you like them slow. No one's taking score. You get to choose. The only measurement is between my desire and my allowing. And your emotions tell you everything about that. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Antonio, TX on Saturday, April 20th, 2002 #391 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Is it possible to be the visionary and the actionary of your own life? Not only possible, it's the way most of you intended it to be. It's the best of all worlds. What can be more exhilarating than to find a dream from the contrast, to fixate on the dream and let it give you pleasure as it grows, and then to watch Law of Attraction bring it into manifestation while you help with your action? Does it get any better than that? You didn't think so as you made the decision to come forth into these physical bodies. You said, "This is the best time in all eternity for a Creator to Create." --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Kansas City, KS on Sunday, September 27th, 1998 #390 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Milk every moment for all the pleasure you can get from it. When you say, "It is my dominant intent to look for things that feel good today. No matter where I'm going, no matter what I'm doing, no matter who I'm doing it with, it is my dominant intent to look for what I'm wanting to see, to look for things that feel good," and the more you develop the habit of that kind of vibration -- the more the Universe understands that that's who you are! And so, the more you have access only to those kinds of things! --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Albuquerque, NM on Sunday, May 9th, 1999 #389 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

A young Palestinian man was found in Israel, he had a bomb strapped to him, and when it detonated, it didn't detonate properly and he was wounded. But he did not get the triumphant results that he was seeking, he did not blow himself up and the people that were around him. And so he was captured. And when the newsman was asking him, why did you do this? He said, they killed my friend and I wanted to die. In other words, it was that simple: "They killed my friend and I wanted to die." We think that those pure and simple words speak to this (Middle East Crisis) more clearly than all other words that have been spoken. It is that feeling that you've done this to me, so I'll do this to you, then you'll do this to me, and then I'll do this to you. And what happens in that is, it just gets bigger and bigger, and bigger. And no one ever wins. There is no triumph that ever comes from any of that. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Albany, NY on Thursday

If your desire is strong enough, it doesn't matter what your beliefs are. If you have a desire that is strong enough, that desire will be the dominant vibration, and it will over-ride any other vibration that you have. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Atlanta, GA on Saturday, September 13th, 1997 #387 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

If there is something that you have to do, resist the temptation to do it under duress. Ask yourself, "What's the worst thing that would happen if I didn't do this?" And if you can get away with not doing it at all, don't do it. And then imagine what would it feel like to have this done. Spend a day or two, if you can, just 15 minutes here, 5 minutes here, 2 minutes here, here and here, imagining it completed in a way that pleases you! And then, the next time you decide that you're going to take action about it, the action is going to be a whole lot easier. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Phoenix, AZ on Sunday, April 5th, 1998 #386 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The child is thinking, and receiving vibrational thought from you on the day that he enters your environment. That is the reason that beliefs are transmitted so easily from parent to child, from parent to child, from parent to child. The child is vibrationally receiving your fears, your beliefs, even without your spoken word... If you want to do that which is of greatest value for your child, give thought only to that which you want, and your child will receive only those wanted thoughts. --- Abraham Excerpted from "The Law of Attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham" #385 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Every time you praise something, every time you appreciate something, every time you feel good about something, you are telling the Universe, "More of this, please. More of this, please." You need never again make another verbal statement of this intent, and if you were allowing your cork to float -- all good things would flow to you. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Silver Spring, MD on Saturday, April 19th, 1997 #384 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

There is nothing for you to go back and live over, or fix, or feel regret about now. Every part of your life has unfolded just right. And so --now -- knowing all that you know from where you now stand, now what do you want? The answers are now coming forth to you. Go forth in joy, and get on with it. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Virginia Beach, VA on Saturday, April 12th, 1997 #383 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The only problem with leaving and going someplace else is that you take yourself with you. You take your vibrational habits and patterns with you. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Albany, NY on Monday, May 18th, 1998 #382 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

One who is mostly an observer thrives in good times but suffers in bad times because what he is observing is already vibrating, and as he observes it, he includes it in his vibrational countenance. As he includes it, the Universe accepts that as his point of attraction and gives him more of it. So the better it gets the better it gets. Or the worse it gets the worse it gets. While one who is a visionary thrives in all times. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Portland, OR on Tuesday, June 10th, 1997 #381 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

If you don't meet resistance with resistance, it dissipates dramatically. It just softens. Try it! Next time somebody says to you, "I'm right, and you're wrong," say, "Pfftt, you're right. You are right. You're right." And mean it. In other words, don't mock them. Don't be sarcastic. "You're right." And then watch how, all of a sudden, their legs almost go right out from under them. They don't have the energy to blast you, because you just took the fuel away from the fire. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Boston, MA on Saturday, May 17th, 2003 #380 Our Love, Jerry and Esther
