“It’s the inner world that needs adjusting, tweaking and plucking when the outer world fails to please.”—Mike Dooley
As a travel writer, I often end up confronting customs and laws different than my own.
In Singapore, for example, it’s illegal to hug in public. In Cannes, you can be arrested for wearing a Jerry Lewis mask. I’ve also heard of some pretty weird laws in my own country. In Devon, Texas, I’m told, it’s illegal to make furniture in the nude. Darn that, Devon, Texas.
We might get a chuckle out of these (and let me just add that I don’t plan to pack my Jerry Lewis mask my next trip to Cannes), but more than these “laws,” we are also at the mercy of arbitrary laws we’ve imposed in our own heads. Laws such as “life is a struggle,” “I have to do everything myself,” “It’s me against the world.”
The bad news is that whatever “laws” you believe in are activated in your life, creating a personal reality that reflects those beliefs. The good, shout-it-from-the-rooftops news is that you can rewrite the laws operating in your life by simply changing your beliefs.
Like the yogini whose practice is stretching muscles, my full-time practice is stretching my beliefs, changing the limiting laws that my darned ego kebeps sending memos about.
Here are just a few laws I’ve written on the books of my life:
1. The world is limitless, abundant and strangely accommodating.
2. Everything always works out for me.
3. Money is just energy and easy to come by.
4. By following my heart, I can lead a life of purpose and meaning and big-ass joy.
5. The more love I give, the more I receive.
6. Actually the more of anything I give, the more I receive.
I’m heading to Cuba tomorrow and don’t plan to take my computer so I’ll probably be incommunicado for the next week or so. Just know that I’ll be busy in Havana spreading molecules of joy and reveling in the beneficence of the universe. And for those who are wondering, today’s ACIM Lesson 155 is featured in the photo.
In the meantime, I’d love to hear in the comments section below a new belief you’re ready to sign into law

I’m really God-on-a-mission, God-dressed-up-as-me, in order to play this wonderful game called life.
So OF COURSE I can have everything I need to play the game joyously and well – it’s MY game!
wendy, brilliant!!!
Thank you!
perfect. thank you! this was just *exactly* what i needed to hear. funny how that works, isn’t it? 😉
😁
Oh, its fantastic inspired words
Have fun in Cuba! We live closer to Cuba than Miami but can’t travel there now because of laws. Years ago people traveled freely from Key West to Cuba and I am looking forward to that happening again soon. Thanks for the heads up that you’ll be out of the country for awhile. And thank you again for another wonderful lesson.
New laws.
1. All my dreams come true.
2. Money flows to me like water flowing in the ocean
3. . Everything I ask for, I get.
4. My heart is always open to receiving love in all forms from the Universe.
I am willing to share my gifts and talents with the world, without any judgment on my ego’s part.
Have a great trip. We all look forward to hearing about your discoveries and epiphanies.
Money is just energy and is easy to come by!
Love ❤️ strangely accommodating ❣️😊
Greetings dear Pam. The timing of this post is quite amazing. Last night I was at an intention group and we were talking about the beliefs we just automatically assume are “truth” and that we can in fact change any belief at all. On the way home a friend and I chatted further about this and we were talking about exactly what beliefs we personally could change! So here are two from last night and a couple more:
1. My teeth repair damage and decay all by themselves.
2. My eyesight is getting clearer and stronger and I no longer need glasses.
3. Losing weight and keeping it off is as easy as breathing!
4. Living my dreams is easy and the universe supports me all the way.
(& I’m borrowing one of yours here Pam because it just about sums everything up)……
5…..everything always works out for me.
Amen!
Enjoy your trip and thanks for letting us know you’ll be off air for a while. See you when you return with wonderful stories to share no doubt 😁👍🏻💖🦋
A belief I intend to have: Everything I want is coming or already here. Many thanks, Pam!
Enjoy your trip. New belief
life is easy, loving and joyous… and i will borrow one of yours
Everything works out for me..
I easily receive all the abundance that can’t WAIT to get to me! HOORAY.
Life is meant to be enjoyed and I party with the Universe daily
I party with the Universe daily
Love that! Party on dude!
🎂 Enjoy the party!
I don’t have anything to add, but it’s been too long since I said, “Thank you, Pam, for bringing your light to the World!” I look forward to your posts, and always feel a little better after reading them, even when I feel great beforehand. YOU ROCK!!
~my abilities are limitless
~the true me is not my body
My Law:
The events that challenge my life are sent by a loving universe to help me grow
She believed she could- so she did. It’s the sign that hangs directly across from my chair.
Have fun in Cuba.
Hi Pam I work with the premise that energy flows where attention goes. i don’t believe in putting my focus on changing my beliefs. In my experience that just amplifies those beliefs but also doesn’t acknowledge that those beliefs were created by me to serve to give me an orientation in the world. How clever is that?! So what I like to do is focus my energy on choices that really matter to me and create a new focus for my attention and energy e.g. I choose my life is a writer or vulnerable intimate love or my dynamic creative community. As the 3 initiates say in The Kybaliin the higher over the lower.
My new law
I can do and create anything I choose 💗
Yes Yes Yes…
EVERYTHING is working out for my good.
I find it so interesting when you receive messages from your Angels on earth. Thanks for the message. Enjoy your trip!
The Universe has my back!
I need be anxious over nothing.
I give up control and I am free!
I am free! I am free! I AM FREE!
Yay!
My new law: All is well, even and especially, when it may not appear that way.
God, being Love is also Happiness
And it is happiness I seek today
I cannot fail because I seek the Truth.
Rock on Pam, and have a Havana of a great time!!
I love being healthy and beautiful.
This is the affirmation given me by my Higher Self…”I am one with Source and my Inner Being. I am love incarnate. I easily create from a place of love, joy, and unlimited abundance. All is well. All is good. And so it is!”
I am calm and surrender to spirit to guide my life.
I believe that “too old” is a bunch of crapola!!
Hi Pam, I’ve been thinking for a while of writing to you and today just feels right ! Your ‘laws’ resonate with me entirely & completely and I am so grateful I found you and your books. I will not bore you with my long but amazing story of LOA but very quickly I would like to mention two things which many would find amazing but I see as just ‘normal’.
1) 8 years ago I was bankrupt and had lost everything (marriage/house/business) and needed to change my life completely and a few years later I found your books. Now I have a thriving business, I have manifested an amazing wife and we have just completed a house purchase for half a million UK pounds in the most beautiful part of the country.
2) I encounter synchronicity every day and have given up mentioning it to anyone as they occur so often but today’s was the best of the week. I have had an intention for a few months to buy an old Land Rover vehicle and while walking around the village this morning I noticed an old one in somebody’s back garden. I knocked on the front door to enquire whether it was for sale and after a long conversation the old gentleman said he would give it to me for NO COST if I promised to look after it and not re-sell it.
I hope this serves as encouragement to some of your readers who are having a hard time at the moment. Be happy, there are no hard times…….
Falling down is part of life. Getting up is living.
What an adventure going to Cuba! I hope you dance salsa and guaguancó and visit some of the museums with so much good Cuban artsists works! Hugs from Puerto Rico!
I choose to work on that!!!
– I am a lucky person (so everything always turns out right for me and I have nothing to worry about)
– I have a ridiculously solid health
– My purpose is to bring more love, fun and joy to this world
Pam: I trust this note finds you well. I am seeking funding to be able to complete research then subsequently write a book on the contribution of Afro-Cuba to Humankind.
I am fluent in Spanish, I am originally from the Caribbean and I am slated to go to Cuba next month for 3 weeks. I already created the outline for the book and I have the angle. Thanks only thing truly missing is the cash.
Can you help me connect with a company or publisher that would be a match to financially sponsoring this project for an amount between 25,000 to $30,000 for me to do this and get it completed and done by Christmas?
I am available to discuss.

This is wonderful Pam. I’ve just been recommended to your blog by a good friend Tiffany, and so happy to be here. Some new beliefs? Everything comes to me with ease and glory. Everything always works out (I love that one) and I am limitless. God, it feels good to say them. Fabulous post and I look forward to reading more.
Hi Pam,
It’s not illegal to hug in Singapore and I should know that as I am Singaorean…..:))).
Thanks for continuing to create and sustain such good energies.
Always your fan, Sarah Cheng
Thanks, Sarah! Glad to hear it!
Recently devoured E2. E3 and Thank and Grow Rich will be here Tuesday. I’ve also inhaled every podcast that I can find.
Thank you for sharing so much!
Pam Grout, where are you? I miss you!
Brit’ Bunny
I’m really concerned about Pam – she always keeps in touch even when on assignment.
Has anyone heard from her?
Querida Pam: Esperamos que estés bien, envía un mensaje para saber de ti.
Eres parte de la familia
I love this post. If you think lack you get lack. if you think abundance you get abundance. It’s really that simple. Here is an amazing program that’s more of an advanced money manifesting system and is only for those who are really serious about learning how to manifest great wealth and it’s working miracles. Check it out: https://tinyurl.com/y9s3snvp
Hey Pam,
Hope you are good, feeling little concerned as no updates from you, miss you, God bless you, see you soon..
Dear Pam and ACIM beings,
Be the change you wish to see in the world. Is a quote from Gandhi that I love. ACIM lesson 175 God is but love, and therefore so am I.
To surrender to love, and lay fear aside is a powerful gift and this practice has given me the discipline to be aligned and intouch more than ever!
Everything works out. This hiatus from the blog has given me an opportunity to delve into my own practice and interpretations (and commitment to loving myself!). While I love to read your blogs… I hold space for you wherever you are and fill every molecule of your being with light and love…. basking in the truth that God is love and therefor so am I.
Shine On…. as we all hold space with love for each other. ✌️💗🌟
Hallo Pam,
This is my last mail from you. I wonder why your inspiring mails stopped. I am looking forward to your wonderful message. Thank you so much.
Yours truly, Lilien Kertokario from Amsterdam

Haha Love this can be arrested for wearing a Jerry Lewis mask.
New belief
Money flows to me easily and effortlessly
Also like the more i give the more i receive
I’m healthy wealthy and wise (I’ve always liked this saying)
I can do whatever i put my mind to.
Hello Pam, I would also like to know what happened to you enlightening posts. I hope all is well with you. I miss your daily ACIM insights.
Hello, one belief I have is ‘it’s all about perspective ‘ you can’t know everything so always try to think with someone else. It really opens up a lot of doors in mind.
I would like to ask you a question too.
https://wp.me/p9xRSs-3B In this blog, there is an attempt at creating a new universe. And you are well aware with the different law in the different city.
So which place do you recommend for the character to begin the journey?
