How To Attract Wealth With Law Of Attraction
Discover The Exact Formula To Attract Wealth And Abundance
Achieve Your Dreams No By Mastering Law of Attraction

I've spent considerable time learning about and following a wide range of law of attraction gurus over the past several years. They generally teach that using the law of attraction is simple, all you have to do is ask, believe, and receive.

Understanding Law of Attraction

Is it really that simple, or are the gurus lying to you?

I would say I understand the concept of law of attraction quite well intellectually, but damn it can be difficult to apply it successfully.

In a recent interview I did with spiritual author Cathy Matarazzo, one of the questions she asked was "what are you using it for?" And she went on to discuss the distinction between focusing on deliberately using law of attraction to serve yourself versus for selfless serving.

This is an area where I find, for me, it is very easy to lapse into the trap.

Vibrationally, when you are focusing on what you want to attract -- and let's just use the example of more money, since for most people that would be a big one -- the minute you place your attention on "more", what you are really declaring is that you don't have enough. Your focus is automatically on getting something, which of course is the opposite of the vibration you intend to attract.

Conversely, when you place your attention on sincerely serving or helping others, your vibration is better in alignment with "love" -- which is the purest, highest vibration of all. When you operate from this place, you are suddenly much more of a magnet to receive that which you are giving, which may show up in many different ways ... including more money.

In so being, you open yourself up to the source of abundance.

Do Your Beliefs Serve You?

It seems to me that much of the art of mastering law of attraction is in filtering your thoughts and recognizing the underlying beliefs behind those thoughts. Once you recognize them, you can suss out whether they serve you or hinder you in attracting what you want. Make no mistake, for most of us, the vast majority of underlying beliefs we hold hinder us.

On top of that, I've come to understand that there is a deep spiritual connection that is at the root of my ability to attract or repel the things I desire. The more connected with my spirit and who I really am, the more I operate from a sense of oneness with the Universe, and the more in tune with the higher vibration of love I become. Because I'm focused on the oneness, my orientation becomes one of service rather than need.

This realization has actually made me feel uncomfortable because I've tended to hold some negative biases towards the whole notion of spirituality and the "new age" movement. Most of these relate to underlying beliefs I haven't even been aware of and the degree to which I entangle the concept of spirituality with religious beliefs. But that's an entirely different topic of conversation I'll leave well enough alone for today.

Coming back to law of attraction, when the gurus say that all you need to focus on is what you want and imagine having it, that's where I believe there are subtleties that must be understood and techniques to be applied that will better allow you to cultivate beliefs that will serve you in the manifestation process.

How To Improve Your Relationships Using Law of Attraction

2010-01-19T10:19:00.004-06:00

Would you like to improve your relationship with your partner? You can improve your relationship using law of attraction and its powerful principles ... and this technique will work not only with your partner, but with any relationship.

After a number of months or years, you may start to notice things in your relationship that need improvement. However, by law of attraction, when you are focusing on the things you don't want you
are activating more of it.

You may notice that some people always tell you their complaints about their partner. They tell you what they don't like.

How often do you hear them tell you how wonderful their partner is?

When you receive heartfelt and sincere remarks doesn't your heart soar? You want to keep it up don't you?

So it just takes some rethinking on what you say or even think about your partner.

At a subconscious level they pick up the negative frequency or vibe you are sending. You can tell when someone is not happy with you, you can sense it in a room.

The work to improving the relationship between you and your partner is to STOP sending off negative vibrations to your partner.

So how do you do it? How do you stop yourself from the habit? First of all ... awareness. Remember, every time you do think something negative or say something you are going to get more of it. So keep reminding yourself that you are attracting it.

Next, focus on the things you do love about your spouse. Do this constantly if you have to. Remember when you were first dating and the passion in those weeks and months? Your memory is very powerful and you can reactivate those emotions at any time. Just like it happened yesterday.

So once a day in your journal or in a quiet moment, focus on those moments you had with your partner. Breathe in and let out any negative thoughts. Just allow the love to reignite inside.

The love you have for your partner is always there you just have to focus on it. Now what you have is a more loving attitude with your partner again so as a result you will respond differently to the way they behave.

It is YOU that changes your vibration, your responses, your thoughts and actions.

Then it is a choice for your partner to change their response and mirror back to you this love or not. They may take more time to get used to this new version of you so keep it up.

This new attitude can be used in all your relationships. Try it with your boss and your kids and even your mother-in-law!

Overcoming Anxiety And Creating A Sense of Calm

2010-01-19T10:08:00.003-06:00

There definitely seems to be a "shift" going on which is creating much perceived chaos around us ... the weather, the economy, political unrest, and natural disasters just to name a few. It can be a struggle to know how to create a sense of calm while in the face of the storm.

Indeed, in this game we call life, it is easy to allow ourselves to feel overwhelmed and "out of control".

In those times when you feel anxious, unsettled, and fearful ... you have the ability to tap into and receive guidance from your Inner Being. Or another word you can use is Source.

Since what you want is to find relief, try saying something like this:

"Source/Inner Being, I am feeling awful right now. Please help me to understand why I am feeling this way, in a positive and gentle manner. I also want to feel safe and comforted. Help me to be grounded into you Source to help me in the most gentle and positive way possible. Thanks"

Take deep breaths in and out and hold in the energy of the breath, and as you exhale, let go of the frustrations, fears, and anger that you feel.

This only takes a few minutes to do. Go to the bathroom if you have this feeling at work. This process can be done whenever you need it.

Feeling relief first usually can help you, HOWEVER if you are doing something in the moment that deep down is wrong or feels like you shouldn't do it, your anxiety may be a warning signal to you.

Your Inner Being is communicating with you.

Habitually ignoring these feelings leads to stress, which is damaging to your body and is contained in your energy field.

For example, you may be living with stresses each day as you go about making decisions based on what other people believe is best for you, and not listening to your own truth.

So pay attention to what your body is telling you because it knows what is going on and is always honest with you.

By being consciously connected to your Source/Inner Being, your decisions and actions are much more likely to be in alignment with and to help you manifest what you truly want.

Remember to take time throughout your day as needed, to ensure that you ground into the purity of your Inner Being. By doing this you will be able to create the sense of calm you are after and gain relief from the feeling of being overwhelmed.

How to Go With The Flow

2010-01-16T14:02:00.004-06:00

Going with the flow is a trait not many people seem to have the ability to do. I've learned that I can go with the flow and be more relaxed about my life when I remember a couple of key things. I'd like to share them with you now.

At any point in time, you have the ability to let go of the resistence within you and go with the flow of well being ... the flow of abundance ... the flow of love.

It is a much more glorious ride when you go with the flow.

When you focus on things in your environment that you don't like, you are interrupting the flow of abundance to you. Instead, you invite fears, loss of control, depression and feelings of disempowerment.

As a result, you feel unfulfilled, dissastified, frustrated, and discourged ... all as a consequence of not going with the flow.

When you do not feel wonderful, manifestation is slowed and you are out of alignment with the Universe.

Your solution is to just make the decision that, however you can allow it to happen, you will just turn and allow yourself to go with the flow.

Learn to "let it go" and, as they say, "let in God".

Your feelings are an indicator of the direction in which you are moving. When you stop fighting the flow, you will discover the point of relief.

This is truly your only choice: to either worse or feel better. You make that choice all day and every day ... whether to feel better or to feel worse in the moment. As an example, you can choose to participate in those discussions that you know will lead to quarreling or you can choose to let it go.

If you hear someone say "Oh crap, now look what happened," don't focus on their problem. They will start talking about it. They hook you in ... you see?

Instead, take your time to respond -- if at all -- and perhaps come back if they keep prompting you with a kind remark such as "oh that's interesting," and then leave it at that.

Isn't it nice that it took you so long to respond so that by the time you did, you no longer allow the initial knee jerk reaction of negativity to flow.

This is all part of you learning how to stay in the flow of well being.

Focus on your and the choice to feel good.

Worry not about what the other people are doing or saying ... for they too will get it, someday (maybe).

So remember that ... moment to moment ... your indicator of whether or not you are going with the flow is how you feel.

Follow You Dreams Now With These Simple Key Steps You Can Implement Today

2009-12-05T08:00:00.006-06:00

Following your dreams is fundamental to your sense of purpose and the level of self fulfillment you feel in your life. You may feel that you have all the time in the world to accomplish your dreams.

Yet there are reminders every day that your time on Earth is short. The reality is there's no way to predict how much time you've got left, which is exactly why there's no time like the present to make your dreams come true! Following are some simple, key steps you can begin taking right now to start steadily moving towards your dreams and living the purposeful, fullfilling life you were meant to.

Concentrate On The Positive

It's vital to start with positive thoughts. When you think positively about yourself and your dreams, you'll begin to believe that you can achieve anything. These initial positive emotions can lead to a dedicated drive and enthusiasm that'll help build lasting momentum.

Remember that nearly everyone feels overwhelmed when you're about to embark on a long journey. That's exactly why it's so easy to fall into negative patterns of thinking, but you must fight these thoughts. It can be hard to imagine that so much can be achieved simply by having positive thoughts, but it's true!

The truth is, when you think about something as scary as "I could die tomorrow," it's hard not to be drawn into a panic. But instead of worrying about how much time you and your loved ones have left, concentrate on making the present moment as productive as it can be towards your true calling.

Careful Planning

Once you've decided to take action, and you've battled your negative thoughts, it's time to make some feasible plans to get you where you want to be.

Keep these tips in mind as you go through your planning phase:

Set realistic goals. If your goal is going to take years, give yourself years. You can't expect everything to happen overnight.

Be specific. Include all the details in your plans. If you stumble along the way, you'll be comforted in knowing that you have your detailed plans to help you stay the course.

Reward yourself. When you've made progress towards your goal, give yourself a reward. Even if your ultimate goal is far off, it's fun and motivating to enjoy rewards as you complete steps toward your goal.

Action In Small Steps

One of the biggest tips when it comes to following your dream is to break down your actions into small, manageable steps.

For example, your goal could be to become an airline pilot or you might want to start your own business. Both of these goals are hefty and have the potential to take years of work and training.
When you first think about these goals, it's easy to be scared of how daunting they seem. Instead of resorting to fear, try breaking down these goals into dozens or even hundreds of small steps. Chances are that each small step is not nearly as overwhelming as the big picture.

At the same time, always keep the big picture in mind. When you visualize yourself reaching your end goal, it can be an image that gives you the drive to keep going during tough times.

Inspiring Others

Once you've achieved your goal, consider inspiring others to reach their goals, too. Perhaps you have some friends or family members who say things like, "I've always wanted to do that," but they remain working at their dead end job.

Help them take action!

You'll know from experience that, while it may be a risk, the reward is more than worth it.

Yes, following your dreams is even a reward in itself! It's fulfilling. It brings you joy in the present and hope for the future. So carpe diem - seize the day!

How to Overcome Shyness

2009-12-03T11:07:00.003-06:00

If you are looking for a way to overcome your shyness, there are some simple, no worry ways to do that ... and they are deceptively simple.

Firstly, understand there is a distinct difference between being quiet and being shy. When you're quiet, you know you have the option to speak, but you just choose not to do so. But when you're shy, you're plagued by discomfort, worry, or even anxiety in social situations.

No matter how shy you think you are, there are ways to train yourself to overcome this barrier. While you won't turn into a social butterfly overnight, you can become a more confident person.

Another benefit of overcoming your shyness is that, without that timidity, you tend to take advantage of new opportunities that come your way.

These tips and tricks will help you conquer shyness:

Accept your personality. It's truly important for you to accept yourself for the person that you are. You can never be anyone but you. If you're a quiet person from time to time, so be it. There is just as much beauty in the personality of a quiet person as there is in an outgoing person.

Put yourself out there. When you're shy, you're more likely to avoid social situations altogether. This only makes the problem worse. If you make the effort to participate, you'll become more comfortable in every social gathering.

Take small steps, but take action to step out of your comfort zone.

Avoid running away. Even if you're feeling especially awkward and anxiety ridden, get through the situation as best as you can.

Afterwards, you can evaluate what you went through so you can grow from it. Ask yourself why you felt the way you did and see if you can correct the problem for next time.

Learn to relax. When you're feeling shy, your mind begins to race. You might be thinking about all the things that can go wrong and you'll find it impossible to relax. Instead of thinking about what might happen, concentrate on the present and on what actually is happening.

If you begin to panic, use relaxation and breathing techniques to calm yourself down.

Practice your social skills. If you're shy in social situations, try to practice your communication and social skills in non-threatening environments, such as with family or close friends. This will take away some of the scary "unknowns" that might be causing you to be afraid.

Use visualizations. Visualizations can be very powerful. They can help you relax and get past the anxiety associated with shyness.

Close your eyes and think about yourself in a situation where you'd normally feel shy or panicky. Instead of feeling overwhelmed with negative emotions, visualize yourself as completely confident and happy.

Focus on someone else. Place all of your focus on the person you're sharing a conversation with. Really listen to what they're saying. If your energy is focused away from how you feel, you'll be less likely to be overtaken with the feelings of shyness.

It may also help you to encourage the other person to do more of the talking. Use open-ended questions where they can launch into a whole story or explanation instead of just answering yes or no questions.

Shyness is a combination of fears and feelings that are reinforced by habits. Use these strategies to help you change your habits and your feelings of shyness will dissipate along with the old habits!

A Simple Way To Immediately Raise Your Vibration

2009-11-24T13:47:00.004-06:00

Before you start into the activities of your day, think about the things you can do to get yourself grounded and started well so that you approach your day in a fashion that is going to serve you well as you move forward in building the life you want.

When you first wake up in the morning, you want to "set" the level of vibration you carry into your day.

By law of attraction, the way you feel about yourself is going to determine the level of vibration you carry. You are about to discover one simple step you can take every day that will automatically help you feel good about yourself and raise your level of vibration.

One of the key principles that determines your level of success in your life is your ability to "be the leader". Your ability to be the leader starts with your mindset and preparation. One of the key aspects of mindset that matters as you go about beginning to build and live your dream, has to do with your own level of vibration and the degree to which you create harmony and alignment with what you want.

One of the simplest steps you can take to accomplish this is to spend some time in the morning to "wrap you package".

What does wrapping your package mean? It means taking the time to consider what you look like and how you have chosen to dress and groom yourself for the day.

This is especially pertinent if part of living your dream entails being a home based entrpreneur. When you are working from home one of the great advantages is that can choose to work in your pajamas all day if you want to. You literally can throw on your house coat, put on a cup of coffee, plop yourself down in front of your computer, place some advertisements and then get on the phone and start calling people.

But there's something about that scenario to consider. If you are unshaven, undressed, haven't bothered to have a shower and look out of sorts, when you look in the mirror how do you feel about yourself? Does the image you see match that of the successful you in your mind that makes you feel good, or do you start to feel a little bit negative about who you are, what you are and how you look?

The extent to which it doesn't support your positive image of you, how do you suppose that translates into your level of vibration that you carry into everything else you do in your day?

A real simple tip you can apply that will help you feel better about yourself and which is going to help raise your vibration and make you more effective at whatever you do is this: take the time in the morning to groom yourself.

Take the time to actually have a shower, get yourself dressed, and look good -- even on the weekends! Because when you look good, you feel good. And your level of vibration is automatically higher.

This is one of the very first steps you can take in your day to begin to align your vibration with the successful you, the CEO of you Inc., the creator of your own dream that you aspire to be. You can begin to tap into that person right away by simply taking the time at the beginning of your day to wrap your package the way you would expect someone who is successful to have their package wrapped.

Attracting Network Marketing Success And The Stories You Tell Yourself

2009-11-23T10:59:00.001-06:00

Do you find yourself floundering in your business? It may be related to the stories you are telling yourself.

The stories you tell yourself play a vital role in your ability to attract the leads, prospects, sales and customers you desire in your business — and in your life. If you’ve been a student of personal success for any length of time, you will recognize this as a common message in so much of the self help material that has been published.

This is not a new concept. For example, it's covered at length in the book "Money And The Law of Attraction" by Jerry and Esther Hicks. And their advice is simple. Keep telling yourself the better story of where you are going and keep you undivided attention on that better story.

The words and thoughts that go into your story are so important because they set a vibrational tone. And that vibration is carried with you into everything you do throughout you day. It's in the vibration of how you place your ads, how you speak with your prospects, and most importantly how you speak with your self. By law of attraction, you get back whatever you put out.

Another prominent teacher from the film The Secret is Bob Proctor. He talks about the habit people have of minimizing themselves. They live as if are in the role of an Extra -- even though they are supposed to be living their own movie! Since it's your movie, why not cast yourself in the starring role?

As you read this, no doubt you know it's true. You can feel it in your bones So take the time to really examine what role you are playing and in what story you have cast yourself. And then identify the chapters you want to rewrite.

As said earlier, it shouldn’t be surprising at all that telling yourself a better story is sage advice. It’s prevalent as a theme in all of the self help teachings.

Going back even further in history, the classic book The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles delivers the same message. This simple little book has spun countless derivative self improvement programs, among the more recent being the Inspired Science of Getting Rich Program.

In his book, which was published in 1910, Wattles talks about the importance of thinking in the “certain way”. He discusses the importance of directing your will internally and holding the thought of what you want with full clarity and purpose, regardless of appearances. In other words, keep telling yourself the better story of where you’re going. Is this starting to sound familiar?

As Wattles explains, thoughts are real things and you create through your thought. So by deliberately focusing on what you want and where you are going, you are framing the story you are telling yourself. And then you get to watch the new story unfold.

Bringing this back to your business, what then is the story you are telling yourself with respect to your home business? Take care to develop your picture of where you are going in your business, and start living that story — as the lead character in your own movie about you as the successful home business entrepreneur.

The Secret to Maintaining a Winning Mindset

2008-11-30T13:21:00.004-06:00

Do you find yourself struggling to consistently maintain a "winning" mindset or long for the secret to a winning mindset?

It's an intriguing question, and if you've been a student of personal growth for any length of time, you already know that the secret to the game of life is mindset. Mindset is everything because it's your mindset that frames all of your experiences and determines how you feel about them.

We recently watched the film Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. In the film, Dustin Hoffman plays Mr. Magorium and he offers this brilliant piece of advice:

"Your life is an occasion. Rise to it."

You'll be hard pressed to find a better motivational quote to illustrate the importance of mindset ... and more specifically of a winning mindset.

Do you remember to treat your life like the occasion it is? And are you willing to rise to the occasion? In order to rise to the occasion, what mindset do you require?

The secret to maintaining a winning attitude is to remember what life is really about. All of the tools, principles and techniques of personal development that we read about -- meditation, affirmations, journaling, etc. -- are ways of assisting you to connecting with that remembrance.

And when you remember that your life is an occasion, how can you not help but be inspired to rise to it?

Using Law of Attraction: align and realign your intention

2008-10-31T08:02:00.004-06:00

Becoming adept at using law of attraction requires consistency and persistence. I was reminded of that earlier this week as part of an energetic mentorship program I am taking.

And the message shouldn't come as a surprise.

We already know intuitively that persistence and consistency are important success traits. So why wouldn’t this also be true when it comes to using law of attraction?

Yet, how many times do you encounter people who claim that law of attraction isn’t working? Or how many times do you find yourself concluding law of attraction isn’t working.

In order to effectively use law of attraction, you must align and realign with your intention every day.

Do you do that?

Or do you instead align with your goal or desire once and then subsequently go back to your old thinking patterns whereby you primarily put your attention on the absence of what you said you wanted?

This is what most people do, and it’s what I continue to catch myself doing with surprising regularity. And yet this is where the work is in mastering the use of law of attraction.

Just because you’ve taken the time to visualize what you want with clarity and passion once, doesn’t mean the process is done. You must come back to that vision as regularly as you can – every day – and tap into the clarity and passion over and over again.

This is how you develop a consistency in your level of vibration and begin to stay more aligned with what you desire. And it’s through your increased level of consistent alignment that you begin to attract what you want more quickly.

As Wallace Wattles points out in his classic book The Science of Getting Rich, the more practiced you become at holding to your vision with full faith, belief and clarity, the more successfully you will become rich because you are in harmony with the natural laws of the Universe.

I’ve heard Andy Andrews stress “I will persist, without exception” as one of his seven decisions that determine personal success.

I’ve heard Bob Proctor talk about the importance of practice and repitition and the role that plays in raising one’s vibration.

This is a common directive from virtually all of the self improvement teachers. So why should it surprise me – or you – to understand the importance I making a point of reminding ourselves to align with our intention today, and again tomorrow, and the day after, and so on ?

Use Law of Attraction to Get Un-Stuck in Your Life

2008-10-21T12:05:00.006-05:00

How would you like to use law of attraction to get yourself un-stuck in your life?

Are you feeling stuck right now in your life -- as though there is a noose tightening around your neck and from which there is no escape?

The economy sucks, everything is getting extremely expensive, your retirement fund has evaporated, and your wage has been cut ... what can you possibly do to begin to turn things around?

Well ... and this may sound redundant ... by law of attraction, you get what you focus on.

So often a large part of why we are stuck is because we're focused on the past or present circumstances rather than on what we want..

And because we are locked into our past decisions and outcomes, the tendency is to believe they are an accurate forecast of our future.

In his book The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace Wattles lays out the prescription by which any of us can can put the laws of the universe to work for ourselves and become rich.

And his prescription is the same as that of pretty much every self help teacher on the planet.

The trick is to take responsibility for leading yourself to where you want to go rather than where you've been or where you are.

You accomplish that by focusing on where you are going.

Wattles teaches that you place the full attention and focus of your mind on the vision you desire for yourself, on crafting and layering detail upon that vision, and by maintaining your full faith, belief and trust in that purpose.

By doing that, you begin to have thoughts and take actions that are inspired and which begin to attract (and move you closer towards) that vision for youself.

Once you are focused on where you're going, it enables you to make a decision to do something different to break the pattern that you've lived up to now.

And as you build this new discipline of thought, you get better at paying little attention to the past or to the present circumstances ... which frees up even more of your thought energy to be put towards where you are going instead.

Let where you are going serve as your guide to the decisions you make. And always make decisions that will move you closer to your goals.

Your results will immediately begin to improve.

So, at the risk of repeating myself, if you are stuck, odds are it's because you are primarily looking at what was or what is.

As Wallace Wattles points out in his book, until you look at where you intend to go, nothing can change.

Drop the drama of your past. Release it and move forward.

One step at a time, focus clearly on where you are going and what step you can take today -- right now -- to move closer to that place.

Then repeat the process. Over and over day by day. By doing that not only will you no longer feel so stuck in your life, you'll also be well on your way to your better future by leveraging the power of law of attraction.

Law of Attraction: Focus on What You Want

2008-10-06T13:01:00.006-05:00

The law of attraction gurus all teach that deliberately creating what you want in your life is simple: all you have to do is focus on what you want.

By focusing our thoughts on what we want, we put ourselves into vibrational alignment and emit a frequency of thought energy to the Universe which attracts a match.

This is all very straight forward stuff.

So ... why is it then, that most people fail when they attempt to put this to practice? If it's really this simple, why do so few succeed?

While the principles of deliberate creation using law of attraction may be simple, they are clearly not easy. That's because to hold our attention on what we desire requires tremendous discipline of thought.

I've been spending a great deal of time pondering this question lately while completing my new Inspired Science of Getting Rich Program, which is based on the study of Wallace Wattles' book The Science of Getting Rich.

And I've come to the conclusion that the answer is simply this: it's hard work to stay focused on what we want regardless of present or past appearances.

"There is no labor from which most people shrink
as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought."
-- Wallace Wattles

Wattles nailed it in his book. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to react to what's before us. With very few exceptions, we have forgotten how to choose our thoughts deliberately.

Focusing on what you want for more than a few seconds at a time is very hard work which requires strong mental focus. It requires a strong will to hold your attention on the prosperity you are looking to attract while the value of the stocks in your retirement account are plummeting, or while the price of gas is going through the roof, or while another unpaid bill sits in your mail box, or while your bank account sits empty.

And yet, if we are to be successful at using law of attraction, we must discipline our minds to do exactly that. We must learn to discipline our minds in order to stay fixed upon where we're going rather than where we are (or where we've been).

This is the pre-requisite to mastery of use of the law and it requires persistence and practice. Lots of persistence. And lots of practice.

After all, for most of us, there are decades upon decades of conditioning to be undone.

And it's the single biggest reason most people fail at this. They may have the self discipline to focus on what they want for a day, or maybe two, but rarely more than that.

It takes 30 days to build a habit -- in that time we're literally able to rewire the neural pathways in our brains so that a pattern of thinking becomes second nature.

If you want to begin to master the art of law of attraction, the place to start is to build that habit of thinking that sees you place your focus and attention only on where you intend to go. Resolve to do so every day for 30 days. Persist through the periods of doubt or fear that inevitably arise. Hold your thought on where you want to go, no matter how difficult. Focus only on what you want.

After 30 days, see what happens.

Attracting Prosperity: The Stories We Tell Ourselves

2008-10-02T09:49:00.004-05:00

On our weekly Inspired Prosperity radio show this past Sunday, we were chatting about the stories we tell ourselves and the importance they play in attracting the abundance and prosperity we desire in our lives.

This has been a common message in so much of the material I've read and studied. It's a fundamental teaching of Abraham in the book Money and the Law of Attraction -- that is if you want a better life, start telling yourself a better story.

I remember seeing Bob Proctor speak about the idea of living your life as if you are the star of your own movie. Why settle for the role of an extra? Afterall, it's YOUR MOVIE!

This has always rung very true to me.

And yet it shouldn't be surprising at all that telling yourself a better story is sage advice. It's prevalent in all of the self help teachings.

One of the books that I've embraced and have studied deeply is The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles. It's the basis of my new Inspired Science of Getting Rich program.

In his book, which was published in 1910, Wattles talks about the importance of thinking in the "certain way". He discusses the importance of directing your will internally and holding the thought of what you want with full clarity and purpose ... regardless of appearances.

In other words, keep telling yourself the better story of where you're going.

As Wattles explains, thoughts are real things and we create through our thought. So by deliberately focusing on what we want and where we're going, we are framing the story we are telling ourselves. And then we get to watch the story unfold.

And so that's why the stories we tell ourselves are so vitally important in enabling us to attract the prosperity and abundance we desire in our lives. The better we get at consistently telling our story, the more rapidly we get to live it.

So what story are you telling yourself today?

Money and Law of Attraction: Your Veritable Fortune

2008-08-30T09:16:00.003-05:00

Recently I posted a review of Money and Law of Attraction, the latest book by Jerry and Esther Hicks covering the teachings of Abraham.

One of my favorite lessons from the book is the importance of the vibrational place from which any thought or statement comes. As Abraham points out in the book, it's the vibrational alignment with what you want that is so essential in order to begin attracting that the level of inspired abundance and prosperity you desire (or whatever you want) into your experience.

In this video, hear Abraham themselves walk through this lesson as they point out the misalignment in something as simple as self deprecating sarcasm. Apply this lesson to your thinking everyday and see whether or not you begin attracting more money into your life using law of attraction.

What is Leadership and Who are You Leading?

2008-08-13T09:53:00.010-05:00

Leadership is a topic which seems to always be front and center when it comes to personal growth and development.

And there are key considerations to the topic of leadership: Who are you leading? And who's leading you?

I've come to understand that's a bit of a trick question -- because the answer to either question needs to be "me".

If I'm not leading me first, then who would want to follow me?

The key to what I'm getting is who I'm being. And who I'm being is an "inside job" ... it's about my thoughts and the inner focus I bring which sets the basesline from I take action.

"The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude;
be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful,
but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not
arrogant; have humor, but without folly."
Jim Rohn

So when I am confidently being the leader of me, then I find and exhibit the balancing of those challenges Jim Rohn speaks of. I'm strong, kind, bold, thoughtful, humble and proud in my thinking and my words with myself and with others. And I find the humour in things. I operate in a relaxed and confident manner.

Your level of leadership is merely a reflection of your internal energy, your focus, your expectation, and your willingness to step into action.

I can either be a leader or I can be a victim.

So which are you? What decision are you willing to make for yourself today about who you intend to be. What example will you set today for yourself, for your kids, for your partner, for your friends, or for your co-workers?

So, given this conversation, what is leadership for you today? And who are you choosing to lead today?

Choose well.

Money and the Law of Attraction: a book review

2008-08-11T11:22:00.010-05:00

Money and the Law of Attraction is the newest book by Esther & Jerry Hicks covering the teachings of Abraham. I was lucky enough to find a copy of the book available at a local book store in advance of the official release date.

It's a terrific read! What I like about all of the Abraham books is that they are laid out in a very easy to follow fashion and provide lots of helpful examples.

Perhaps the most significant aspect of the book for me is the notion of always being mindful of telling yourself a better story.

In the book, Abraham explains that our job is to align our vibration with what we want. That's it ... and yet it's the area where the vast majority of us have the most difficulty. We have difficulty because we're caught up in a story ... the story of "what was" or "what is", rather than the story of "what will be".

And of course -- by law of attraction -- we get more of what we focus on.

So the solution is very simple: focus our attention on telling ourselves a better story -- one that feels better and is focused on what we want. Start telling the story of what a life of inspired abundance looks like and feels like.

Abraham provides some clear examples of what a better story might sound like and so make it very easy to apply.

So the big take away from the book for me is to make a point of practicing telling myself a different story. And being diligent about doing so every single day, several times a day. Especially first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening.

I've already begun to see a significant difference in how I feel.

It's only one take away from the book, but for me, it's already made the investment in the book more than worthwhile.

So if you're wanting to learn how to use law of attraction more deliberately -- and you in particular want to better understand how to improve your ability to attract money and wealth into your life -- then go out and buy yourself a copy of Money and Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks today.

And of course, if you'd like to learn more about law of attraction and Abraham, visit Jerry and Esther Hicks' website at http://www.abraham-hicks.com/.

Thanks for reading

The Power of Team: You Need Never Be Alone

2008-07-30T12:11:00.004-05:00

The Power of Team is the newest motivational book in the Wake Up ... Live The Life You Love series and I'm a co-author of the book, along with the likes of Dr. Wayne Dyer, Anthony Robbins, Bill Bartmann and Steven E.

One of the key messages of the book is that there is tremendous power to be leveraged by being a part of a team. In other words, "you need never be alone".

That's in fact the title of my contribution to The Power of Team, "You Need Never Be Alone".

Here's a video I put together of my article which appears in the book -- this will give you a strong flavor of the quality of the information you will find in The Power of Team.

Dr. Randy Pausch: Carnegie Mellon Last Lecture

2008-07-28T13:41:00.005-05:00

Sadly, Dr. Randy Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon passed away this past Friday, July 25th, 2008 of pancreatic cancer.

Randy's lecture "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams", which he gave at Carnegie Mellon on September 18, 2007, became a YouTube phenomenon. It was moving and yet inspiring lecture, one of the most powerful I've certainly ever seen. And of course this is because Dr. Pausch knew he was dying.

In tribute to Dr. Randy Pausch and the countless lives his story has impacted, here again is the full lecture in which he shares, before a packed McConomy Auditorium his lessons learned and his advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

It's 76 minutes long and well worth the entire time spent watching.

Using Law of Attraction: the Downside to Deliberate Creation

2008-07-23T08:20:00.002-05:00

Law of attraction is a fundamental universal law and the foundation of deliberate creation -- that is deliberately creating the life you want.

The concept of law of attraction isn't new. It's been popularized as a term over the past 20 years or so, but it's also referred to or described throughout the "new thought" archives going back well over 100 years..

But here's the kicker: law of attraction has a downside. It works whether you are aware of it or not.

Self Limiting Beliefs: Overcome Obstacles to Success

2008-07-16T09:10:00.004-05:00

Self limiting beliefs are the single most significant obstacles that we must learn to overcome in order to be successful in our lives.

In that regard, they are much like crocodiles lurking in the shadows of the swamps in our minds.

In today's post, I've put together a video with my thoughts about the nature of self limiting beliefs, explain where the "crocodile" analogy came from, and share my opinion about what success is possible for us if we believe, focus, and persist. Enjoy the video.
