100 quotes from "The Secret", Law of attraction

We all work with one infinite power

The Secret is the Law of Attraction (LOA)

Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting

We are like magnets - like attract like. You become AND attract what you think

Every thought has a frequency. Thoughts send out a magnetic energy

People think about what they don't want and attract more of the same

Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation

You attract your dominant thoughts

Those who speak most of illness have illness, those who speak most of prosperity have it…etc…

It's not "wishful" thinking.

You can't have a universe without the mind entering into it

Choose your thoughts carefully .. you are a masterpiece of your life

It's OK that thoughts don't manifest into reality immediately (if we saw a picture of an elephant and it instantly appeared, that would be too soon)

EVERYTHING in your life you have attracted …accept that fact .. it's true.

Your thoughts cause your feelings

We don't need to complicate all the "reasons" behind our emotions. It's much simpler than that……Two categories …: good feelings, bad feelings.

Thoughts that bring about good feelings mean you are on the right track. Thoughts that bring about bad feelings means you are not on the right track.

Whatever it is you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in the process of becoming

You get exactly what you are FEELING

Happy feelings will attract more happy circumstances

You can begin feeling whatever you want (even if it's not there)... the universe will correspond to the nature of your song

What you focus on with your thought and feeling is what you attract into your experience

What you think and what you feel and what actually manifests is ALWAYS a match - no exception

Shift your awareness

"You create your own universe as you go along" Winston Churchill

It's important to feel good ( ( ( (((good))) ) ) )

You can change your emotion immediately .. by thinking of something joyful, or singing a song, or remembering a happy experience

When you get the hang of this, before you know it you will KNOW you are the creator

Life can and should be phenomenal .. and it will be when you consciously apply the Law of Attraction

Universe will re-arrange itself accordingly

Start by using this sentence for all of your wants: "I'm so happy and grateful now that.... "

You don't need to know HOW the universe is going to rearrange itself

LOA is simply figuring out for yourself what will generate the positive feelings of having it NOW

You might get an inspired thought or idea to help you move towards what you want faster

The universe likes SPEED. Don't delay, don't second-guess, don't doubt..

When the opportunity or impulse is there .. ACT

You will attract everything you require - money, people, connections. . PAY ATTENTION to what's being set in front of you

You can start with nothing .. and out of nothing or no way - a WAY will be provided.

HOW LONG??? No rules on time .. the more aligned you are with positive feelings the quicker things happen

Size is nothing to the universe (unlimited abundance if that's what you wish). We make the rules on size and time

No rules according to the universe .. you provide the feelings of having it now and the universe will respond

Most people offer the majority of their thought in response to what they are observing (bills in the mail, being late, having bad luck...etc.. )

You have to find a different approach to what is through a different vantage point

"All that we are is a result of what we have thought" - Buddha

What can you do right now to turn your life around?? Gratitude

Gratitude will bring more into our lives immediately

What we think about and THANK about is what we bring about

What are the things you are grateful for? Feel the gratitude.. focus on what you have right now that you are grateful for

Play the picture in your mind - focus on the end result

VISUALIZE!!! Rehearse your future

VISUALIZE!!! See it, feel it! This is where action begins

Feel the joy .. feel the happiness :o)

An affirmative thought is 100 times more powerful than a negative one

"What this power is, I cannot say. All I know is that it exists." Alexander Graham Bell

Our job is not to worry about the "How". The "How" will show up out of the commitment and belief in the "what"

The Hows are the domain of the universe. It always knows the quickest, fastest, most harmonious way between you and your dream

If you turn it over to the universe, you will be surprised and dazzled by what is delivered .. this is where magic and miracles happen

Turn it over to the universe daily.. but it should never be a chore

Feel exhilarated by the whole process .. high, happy, in tune

The only difference between people who are really living this way is they have habituated ways of being.

They remember to do it all the time

Create a Vision Board .. pictures of what you want to attract .. every day look at it and get into the feeling state of already having acquired these wants

"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."

Decide what you want .. believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, believe it's possible for you

Close your eyes and visualize having what you already want - and the feeling of having it already.

Focus on being grateful for what you have already.. enjoy it!! Then release into the universe. The universe will manifest it.

"Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve" W. Clement Stone

Set a goal so big that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind.

When you have an inspired thought, you must trust it and act on it.

How can you become more prosperous?? INTEND IT!!

'Checks are coming in the mail regularly'.. . or change your bank statement to whatever balance you want in there... and get behind the feeling of having it.

Life is meant to be abundant in ALL areas...

Go for the sense of inner joy and peace then all outside things appear

We are the creators of our universe

Relationships: Treat yourself the way you want to be treated by others .. love yourself and you will be loved

Healthy respect for yourself

For those you work with or interact with regularly.. get a notebook and write down positive aspects of each of those people.

Write down the things you like most about them (don't expect change from them). Law of attraction will not put you in the same space together if you frequencies don't match

When you realize your potential to feel good, you will ask no one to be different in order for you to feel good.

You will free yourself from the cumbersome impossibilities of needing to control the world, your friends, your mate, your children....

You are the only one that creates your reality

No one else can think or feel for you .. its YOU.. ONLY YOU.

Health: thank the universe for your own healing. Laugh, stress free happiness will keep you healthy.

Immune system will heal itself

Parts of our bodies are replace every day, every week…etc... Within a few years we have a brand new body

See yourself living in a new body. Hopeful = recovery. Happy = happier biochemistry. Stress degrades the body.

Remove stress from the body and the body regenerates itself. You can heal yourself

Learn to become still .. and take your attention away from what you don't want, and place your attention on what you wish to experience

When the voice and vision on the inside become more profound and clear than the opinions on the outside, then you have mastered your life

You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it. You are here to create the world around you that you choose.

And allow the world as others choose to see it, exist as well

People think that if everyone knows the power of the LOA there won't be enough to go around .. This is a lie that's been ingrained in us and makes so many greedy. that's been ingrained in us and makes so many greedy.

The truth is there is more than enough love, creative ideas, power, joy, happiness to go around.

All of this abundance begins to shine through a mind that is aware of it's own infinite nature. There's enough for everyone. See it. Believe it. It will show up for you.

So let the variety of your reality thrill you as you choose all the things you want.. get behind the good feelings of all your wants.

Write your script. When you see things you don't want, don't think about them, write about them, talk about them, push against them, or join groups that focus on the don't wants... remove your attention from don't wants.. and place them on do wants

We are mass energy. Everything is energy. EVERYTHING.

Don't define yourself by your body .. it's the infinite being that's connected to everything in the universe.

One energy field. Our bodies have distracted us from our energy. We are the infinite field of unfolding possibilities. The creative force.

Are your thoughts worthy of you? If not - NOW is the time to change them. You can begin right were you are right now. Nothing matters but this moment and what you are focusing your attention on.

I am the greatest!
Muhammad Ali

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Marianne Williamson

Author Unknown

Meaning doesn't lie in things. Meaning lies in us. When we attach value to things that aren't love - the money, the car, the house, the prestige - we are loving things that can't love us back. We are searching for meaning in the meaningless. Money, of itself, means nothing. Material things, of themselves, mean nothing. It's not that they're bad. It's that they're nothing.
Marianne Williamson

Enjoy your Life

2010-07-12T05:33:00.000-07:00

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others.

It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Don't set your goals by what other people deem important.

Only you know what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.

Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

Don't let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live up all the days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something left to give,

Nothing is really over . . . till the moment you stop trying.

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.

It is this fragile thread that binds us together.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks.

It is by taking chances, that we learn to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find.

The quickest way to receive love is to give love;

the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;

and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't dismiss your dreams.

To be without dreams is to be without hope;

to be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don't run through life so fast

that you forget not only where you've been,

but where you are going.

Life is not a race,

but a journey to be savored every step of the way.
