FOR GREGORY. He was not a VICTIM of ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, he was a HERO!

Mantra


My nephew Mark suggested this web site for daily inspirations. It has been good for me and I look forward to them every day.

A recent one was, "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 (dailyquote@abraham-hicks.com)

I found it a little confusing so I e-mailed Mark and said, "So what's the message here? Don't try to overcome or prevent?"

His reply was simple, "Focus only on what you want never what you don't want.  I love you."

So I thought about Gregory's recent declines and tried to figure out how I could phrase what it was that I really wanted without focusing on trying to overcome or prevent.


After a progression of fine tuning my mantra, this is what I came up with:


"I am responding to Gregory's needs in a supportive way with love and respect." 


I have been using it and guess what? It seems to be working.
