Help Me Stop Rita
By Dr. Joe Vitale
As I type these words, people in Houston
are scrambling to leave the city.
The Mayor has urged many to evacuate.
The next hurricane, Rita, is bigger and badder
than Katrina, and it's headed this way.
Yes, our area is in the path of the hurricane,
too.
With luck, by the time it hits mainland Texas,
it will have dropped from a category 5 to a
category 1 hurricane. We're stocking up on
supplies, like everyone else.
While the world is still reeling from the effects
of Katrina, we're now bracing for something
that could be just as bad, or worse.
As I listen to the news, and watch people, the
key word that everyone says or seems to
breathe is "victim."
We're victims of storms.
We're victims of chance.
We're victims of a poorly run government.
We're victims of gas prices, gas shortages,
inflation, recession, taxes, wars, and now --
the worst of all -- Mother Nature.
I'm going to say something unusual. It may
upset some people. I'm hoping it will inspire
you. Here goes:
You have more power than you think.
While you may not want to stand in the path
of Rita, you don't have to cower under the bed.
As odd as it may sound, I believe that if enough
of us think positive, we can create a counter
storm of sorts. We can protect ourselves and
our loved ones with our thoughts.
I've described and proved this with the research
in the back of my book, "The Attractor Factor."
Nineteen studies *proved* that when a large
group of people hold positive intentions,
those intentions radiate out and become reality.
No, I'm not saying ignore the storm warnings. I'm
saying don't get caught up in the fear that the
warnings often trigger.
Look. If you think the storm will get you, then
it's already gotten you. You're living in fear.
Your life is dark, gloomy and in a cage. The
media is flawless at whipping us into fear.
So I suggest ignoring the media. It's not
information, it's propaganda. It gets large
groups of people to think negative, which
of course then becomes reality.
Why can't we do the opposite?
Why can't we get large groups of people
to think positive?
At this very moment, as I type this and you
read this, all is well.
Isn't it?
Aren't you ok?
Aren't you feeling fine right now?
Yes, be sure to have batteries and water
and supplies.
But also check the storehouse in your mind.
Are you living in fear, or living in trust?
Are you focused on the negative, or are
you doing something to create a positive?
We are all, always, at choice.
My plea is that the readers of my ezine --
you -- will stop, breathe, and focus; pray,
or in some positive way send out an energy
that will help dissolve the fear in and around us.
I'm asking you to do this on Saturday, the day
Rita is scheduled to visit Texas.
As I was finishing this article, UPS delivered
two books to me. Both are timely and worth
mentioning.
"Unconditional Bliss" says you can find
happiness in the face of hardship.
I think this is relevant. While the media is
making us shake in our boots, we can
choose to take care of ourselves and
others *while* remaining happy.
Happiness is a choice.
The other book looks just as fascinating.
It's "Megatrends 2010" by Pat Aburdene.
To my surpirse (and delight), the book
declares that the future will be more
focused on spirit.
Well, let's create the future right now.
Let's focus on spirit.
What I'm asking you to do is be happy,
right now. Smile. Send that loving energy
out, in the direction of Texas. Intend for
all to be well, for, in reality, all is well.
In fact, pretend you are the eye of the
hurricane. That's the center where all
is at peace. *Be* that peace and send
that peace from the eye to the hurricane
itself, imagining it dropping in intensity.
We can make a difference.
It begins with you.
What will you choose to think?
Please distribute this to everyone you know.
Also, please *do* this. Together, we *can*
make a difference. Thank you. - joe
