The Law of Attraction Explained
By KissytheCutie

Here it is in a nutshell. Your thoughts are invisible but they are also physical and they will dictate the reality of your life. Your thoughts are like magic wands. The law of attraction is the science of your brain waves and the effect the it will have on you and the world around you.

If you want proof that your thoughts are physical then look at the video below.

Your thoughts can produce a physical effect. If you think about success then sucess will come in its physical form, if you think about failure then you are domed to fail.

Why this phenomena happens is due to the fact that everthing is dual having both positive and negative energy within them at the same time and your thoughts can illicit positive or negative energy from the things around you.

It sounds like magic but it is not it is really science the science of energy.

If you want to manifest your dream. You will have to create positive energy around that dream and then you will have to create the world around you to prove to yourself and the world around you that what you are trying to manifest is actually real.

The President Obama story can be viewed as an example of the law of manifestation at work.

President Obama — how come? He is the first black president of the USA why? unless you are a conspiracy theorist you will hve to admit that he his the president because of who he is.He set the foundaton in his mind to win the election then he worked exremely hard at achieving the dream in his head and because of that life created circumstances for him to reach his goal.

Remember mass is equal to energy. We are nothing more than energy forms floating around in space and our energy will grow or decrease depending on how we harness within our realm.
There are only 2 ways that we can harness energy in our realm and that is through our thoughts and our action because how else can it be done?

Energy is the ability to do work. There are only 2 ways that a human being can work. they can work physically and they can work mentally.

Energy is never lossed therefore your mental energy must be transferred into something and what the law of attraction say is that your mental energy will transfer itself into the thing that you want.

So that is why the law of attraction works.

That is why our thoughts dictate action. Our thoughts dictate our reality because that is how we work. For get about your human form, if look at yourself as stricltly energy then the law of attraction will make sense.

We are energy, to harness energy we must work, the work we do as human comes in only 2 forms, mental and physical and energy never dies, energy is just transferred. The law of attraction is saying if you put physical and mentally energy towards a positive goal you will recieve what you want.

Simple science and it is true.

The law of attraction is the philosophy of positive energy and how that energy manifests itself as powerful positive force capable of producing physical things.

To practice the law of attraction in your life, you must think about a goal and then act towards it

The Secret to Healing Your Emotional Pain
By Jocelyn Soriano

This blog post is dedicated to Socco, he commented to me that he was feeling depressed and I want him to feel a little better. Hope this helps.

“Yes, I understand why things had to happen this way. I understand his reason for causing me pain. But mere understanding does not chase away the hurt. It does not call upon the sun when dark clouds have loomed over me. Let the rain come then if it must come! And let it wash away the dust that hurt my eyes!”

There are times when life suddenly casts a shadow before us: we suffer for sins we did not even commit, we go through situations we certainly do not deserve to be in. In such times, we have so many questions throbbing at the back of our minds, but the biggest of them all is “WHY?”

We want to know the reason why we had to go through such excruciating pain. We want to know why we were not able to do anything to prevent the terrible things that happened. We want to know why God failed us, why He let us down at the time we needed Him most.

Yet even after we are able to answer these questions, the pain remains, life stands still, and we can do nothing but wait ’til everything’s over, until we can move on again like we used to, when our hearts weren’t shattered yet into the thousand lonely pieces they broke into. We then come into answering our second biggest question, and that is “HOW?”

How do we deal with the awful feeling of brokenness? How do we start to move on? How on earth are we ever going to smile again?

Like many people, I’ve been through dark and painful moments in my life as well, moments I wanted to skip, moments when what I really wanted the most is to have my own time machine so I can either go back where I was happy, or fast forward anywhere in the future where I can find myself again. But no machine like that has ever been invented yet, and the only way to move from the terrible place where I stand is to go through the dark tunnel ahead that will lead me towards the new beginning I’m looking forward to.

If you’re willing to go through that dark tunnel with me, let us begin. Let us try to answer the only question that can lead us into a better place. How indeed can we ever deal with our grief?

1. Accept the challenge and do my best.

We can never move on anywhere unless we acknowledge where we stand at the moment. Acceptance is the shortest route to peace. Acceptance will help you let go of your WHYs so you can start focusing on your HOWs. Accept that things have already happened. Accept that you can do nothing to turn back the hands of time to undo everything that’s already been done. You can blame everyone, you can blame God, you can even blame yourself but that would never change your situation. That would never help you get out of the pit that you’re in, the suffering you’re going through. Find the way to acceptance, and you can begin to find the strength and the will to move on.

2. Rest when I can no longer carry on.

It is a good thing to cry and mourn for your sorrows. It is good to release your tears, your anger, your pent-up emotions. But there are limits to our powers, to our physical and emotional strength as human beings. We need enough time to rest in order to renew our strength so we can have a better cry next time. Have enough sleep. Force yourself to watch television or buy groceries and give yourself a break. Try to forget your troubles even if only for an hour or so. That way, you do not exhaust yourself to the point where you no longer have enough strength to face the challenges of the coming day. Reserve some of your strength until you are able to make it through.

3. Take comfort in God’s greatness, love and strength.

Many people may criticize me for this. But those who knew torment and have survived from it a better person understand the comfort of knowing someone is there listening to you, someone who understands you, all those hurts you’re going through. Someone who doesn’t judge you or condemn you, just someone who loves you and trusts you that if you will only hang in there a minute more, you shall surely make it through.

It may be quite ironic, but I have found my greatest joy in the arms of my God in my darkest hour. I felt him hugging me, comforting me, crying with me. He didn’t just watch me. He didn’t scold me and reprimanded me to get up and be strong and stop being such a fool. He cried with me. He knew my pain and he claimed it as though it were His own.

4. Bear the pain and be patient.

This seems to be the hardest part of all. Pain is pain and suffering is suffering. There is no pill or any kind of painkiller that we can take to prevent us from feeling our hurts. We have to bear it head on and cling to the thought that things will definitely change for the better.

“I have deep sorrow today, and an unclear vision of the future. But nobody ever died of loneliness – only of hopelessness! As long as I have hope, no problem is ever too difficult, no night ever so dark that it can prevent the rising of another day!”

There are times when we are so lost in the dark that no matter how hard we try to find our way, we find not the roads we’re looking for; no matter how desperately we seek, we grasp not the answers, and we continue to grope in the shadow of the night.

But faint not, and fear not the voices that creep in the dark. For in your hour of need, help shall come upon you. In your moments of greatest fear, a flame of hope shall arise and give you peace. The night is short and the voices will soon fade away. Darkness shall falter and surrender to a brand new day.

Take heart; stand firmly and strong, for it will not be long before the awaited dawn.

5. When it is time, stop dwelling on the pain

There are times when the pain finally subsides, and we are given a chance to move on a notch higher. Finally, we have the chance to break free from our pain. The problem however is that many of us choose to cling to our hurts. We let the pain linger longer than they should. Maybe we got so used to it, we don’t know anymore what we’re going to do without it. Maybe we feel mad at ourselves and we choose to punish ourselves for the things we thought we did wrong. Maybe we’re mad at someone else and we want to punish him by punishing ourselves. Whatever it is, it will not help you find your path to living the full life you should be living. Let it go. Let go of your pain and move on.

6. Live from day to day. Or if that is too long, from moment to moment.

There are some wounds that take a longer time to heal than others, and there are some hurts that take a while longer to subside. The important thing is that we stay afloat one day, one moment at a time. Don’t think of how hard the whole process is going to be, you’ll go nuts doing that! Don’t think of all the lonely days ahead of you. They haven’t even arrived yet! Just think of the moment. If you can live and make it for the moment, that is all that is needed to make it through.

7. Claim the strength God gives me to rise above the situation.

There is a strength God gives you in times when your strength is no longer enough. However you may call Him, there is a Higher Power that will see you through. I’ve received it. I’ve felt it coming just in time when I can no longer see how I’m going to carry on. That is why we should never compare our strength with the weight of our problems. We’d probably make a wrong estimate doing that! There is a strength that comes to you to help you overcome whatever you’re going through. Wait for it! It will certainly come and will not delay.

8. Learn everything I can from the process.

When we’re in pain, we seldom realize what lessons we can learn from the process. Though it is quite understandable why we do not give attention to things like that in times of grief, the truth remains that we do learn many things during our darkest hour. It is a time when everything we know and have ever learned are being challenged in an instant. It is a time when we come to realize what it is we value the most in life. It is a time when we get to understand other people better. Let us take advantage of those times when we see things more clearly than we ever saw them before.

9. Protect my joy at all times.

Sounds crazy doesn’t it? This thing you can ignore if you want to, but I believe that joy and sorrow can definitely exist at the same time. Yes, we are hurt. Yes, we’re broken. But yes, we know we’re going to make it. And yes, we know we’ll get out of it better persons than we used to be. Somewhere in our hearts, there is a chamber of joy that should remain intact, untouched, forever guiding us in our most troublesome paths.

It is indeed a painful thing to grow, but after wards you will be glad that you have undergone the process. You will feel stronger. You will feel like you have just been released from your self-made prison. You will carry with you the joy of God being there for you, comforting you in your darkest hour. You will have greater confidence as you learn more about the true beauty that lies within you. And you will move forward in life with greater strides knowing that the things which have caused you pain could no longer touch you and torment you the way it did before. You will overflow in spirit realizing that you have just risen from your former horizon and moved on to greater heights. And you will look forward to His guiding hand that will carry you farther from one God-destined glory to the next.

Life is one big road with lots of signs and when your riding through the ruts it can be easy to complicate your mind.

“What path should I choose?” “I want to smoke, no… I don’t want to smoke”, “Should I eat that, oh I am on a diet”, “Its starting to get confusing”, “To hell with it”, “Oh God…back to square one”.

Life ain’t easy, I don’t want to tell you that it is especially now a days when love the power for our soul is such a rare jewel to behold but you got to fight, you have to fight, life is never ending journey to meet God so you have to make up your mind to wake up and live.

Practice the art of being you that what it takes and that is it. To practice being you, you got to travel deep into your soul.

Dean Hopkins the Self Help Junkie has some good ideas on you can do it. He calls it the creative process, I call it the practicing the art of self love but whatever you call it amounts to the same thing.

Check it out

Here are 3 of the most powerful ideas you can use to be strengthen your soul and be more creative.

1: Write everything down:

Yes, I am afraid this really is a big one… yet ironically so many people don’t do it. They try and keep everything in their heads… all their ideas, thoughts, plans – everything! How do you think you will develop your ideas and make them real if you keep them rattling around inside your head? The mere act of creation is one of manifesting mental ideas into some form of reality, whether its the written word, music, vocal or art, and so it really is a good habit to get into and is definitely one of the keys to being more creative.

So how to be creative tip 1 – Start making a habit of having idea notebooks and writing down every idea you have down – even the little ones. You don’t have to go into detail, just make a note of it.

2: Don’t be afraid to have complete and utter rubbish ideas:

I can just see all the perfectionists running for cover with this one!….because the truth is, that not every idea you will have will be any good or amount to anything. In fact, I would figure on cutting around 50% of them almost immediately. You see, what actually happens is, is that small ideas …even rubbish ones, can inspire other ideas which can lead to good ideas. How will you find the good stuff if you are too afraid to even consider the bad stuff. The key is to just go for it! Let it out and don’t worry about coming up with utter rubbish.

So how to be creative tip 2 – Explore every idea you have and discard the rubbish.

3: Play with other peoples ideas

Now you don’t really need to be afraid here of copying and plagiarism. Did you know, there has never been an original thought? Because all thoughts are inspired by previous thoughts and ideas, so don’t beat yourself up trying to come up with something nobody else has ever come up with before – because you wont find it!

So how to be creative tip 3 – Get inspired by other peoples creativity ideas. Twist it, expand it, flip it, change it – but just get into it and don’t be afraid, because other ideas will soon start popping up.

So that’s 3 very powerful creativity ideas for you on how to be creative, I hope you have fun using them.

Why has God put you on earth? Have you ever wondered that? Were you born to suffer? Or were you born to be happy like a couple of new lovers? Why were you born in the first place? Why aren’t you happy like those other people? Life is a bitch and then you die, is that it?

Guess what?

You know why you feel like that? It is because for some reason you don’t believe strongly enough in your dreams. Your dreams are very special and you deserve to have them. Your dream can be as big as you want to be and it does not matter where you are in life when you have them. You are allowed to have super big dreams too.

Did you know that your big dream is the thing that faith is made of?

Faith is something sweet and comforting because it is like a soft cuddly teddy bear that hugs you in the night when nobody else is there for you. With faith you know despite what is going on around you know somehow that you will get what life has promised you.

With faith you know that heaven can exist on earth. Faith is one of the main ingredients of getting to know your true calling because faith is like healthy soil that nourishes your dream until it becomes something real.

All dreams can become real if you couple your dream and faith with positive actions.

I will become the next generation Oprah. That is my true calling in life. The fulfillment on my dream begins with this blog. I have come to “dreamalize” God has put me on this planet to share love with you; my job on earth is to remind you to love yourself and to work at building your own dream.

That’s a beautiful true calling, wow my job on earth is to make you recognize the magical power of love and how that magic can be used to perform miracles in your life.

Do you know why that is my true calling because I said to myself that is what it will be. I told myself that I was going to become like Oprah and I allowed myself to believe that dream after I allowed myself to respect my dream then I began to live my life around that belief.

That is how you find your true calling.

You take a positive belief about yourself, you take the big dream that you have and you make it the nucleus of your entire life. You believe the dream in the same way you believe that the sun will shine in the morning. You believe your dream will come true in the same way you believe that you got to eat food in order to live.

What is your true calling?

It can be whatever you want it to be. You don’t have to wait. What do you dream about? Better yet what do you want? Take your biggest dream and make that your true calling. Whatever you want in life there is way for you get it that is the secret power of life. The energy of life is so wonderful and so powerful that it can make something out of nothing. It can take a nobody like me and make me feel like this blog is my way to become the new Oprah Winfrey.

Life is the only true magic that lives on earth but it’s a magic that allows itself to be understood in terms of science.

If you want life to work its magic in your world then you have to do just one thing. You have to have a strong positive belief that takes center of everything you do.

Let me show you something, look at the 2 pictures below. The solar system and the single cell both represent life.

There can be no life in the entire universe without the solar system and there can be no life on earth without the simple cell. A cell is the smallest unit of something that is living and if you look the pictures long enough you will see that there is something in common both of the pictures.

Can you see what it is?

They both have a nucleus and they both have a center. So that is the trick, rather that is the science of life.

A nucleus! That is how life does its thing. Life needs to revolve around a core of something that gives life to everything else.

For a cell to function it needs to have a nucleus. The sun is the center of the solar system and in order for you to function at the highest capacity you need to have a nucleus too.

Can you see the connection?

The nucleus in you will come in the form of faith in a dream or belief that you have and guess what? Life is very forgiving too. You faith can be as small as a mustard seed, no matter how small your dream is hold on to it , nurture it with some positive action and you will find your true calling in life.

Are you feeling good today? Are you going to follow my Halloween tips tonight? You should because you will have some fun.

The weather is beautiful here in New York City, it’s the perfect cozy up with your lover kind of weather but it’s also the kind of weather that might have you making too many trips to the kitchen. To know the little spot where the candy your kid brought home from school is stashed but don’t allow yourself to turn into the candy monster.

Snickers can be satisfying I know but instead of freaking out with them, get up and go to the grocery store. When you get to the store buy yourself some good and tasty adult chocolate.

Adult Chocolate?

Twix are for kids.
If you feel like indulging your cravings then some good adult chocolate is what you should go for. Good chocolate is any chocolate that has at least 70% cocoa in it. Chocolate that is at least 70% real cocoa is actually healthy for you to eat. In fact it is now recommended that you eat about (2oz’s) of good chocolate a day with a minimum cocoa content of 70% or more to help maintain your health.

Why Chocolate is Good

• Essential Vitamins and Minerals–Chocolate contains essential trace elements and nutrients such as iron, calcium and potassium, and vitamins A. B1, C, D, and E.

• Good for Cardiac Health–It is also the highest natural source for Magnesium and magnesium is good for your Cardiovascular System because it will help to relax your blood vessels.

• Mood Enhancer–It’s also causes a pre-menstrual drop in progesterone levels. Progesterone is the hormone responsible for the violent mood swings that many women seem to have when it’s that time of the month. Therefore by adding magnesium to your diet, your progesterone increases and therefore your mood swings go away.

• Mojo Enhancer—Chocolate can act like a stimulant. Cocoa has caffeine and theobromine in it and those two component can give you a little buzz and guess what else? Theo-bromine is also an effective cough suppressant. Eat chocolate and you won’t have to cough a lot. Theo-bromine works by suppressing vagus nerve activity in the upper respiratory tract. Wow chocolate can be used as a delicious cold medicine during this winter..yeah!

• Good for Cholesterol—Chocolate also contains oleic acid and oleic acid is a mono-unsaturated fat like the kind found in olive oil, which may even raise good cholesterol (HDL) levels.

• Extremely High in Antioxidants– Chocolate contains the flavonoids procyanidins & epicatechins. Flavonoids are part of a group of antioxidants known as polyphenols and are found naturally in foods such as tea, red wine, fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants delays the aging process because they attack the free radicals in our bloodstream, chemicals that cause damage to our cells, especially through oxidization.

What To Buy
You can buy any kind of chocolate so long as it has at least 70% cocoa in it but when you go to the grocery store and you see a brand called Green and Blacks then pick that one up.

I have tried many different brands of organic chocolate and I find that the Green and Blacks brand is the very best. The naturalness and the quality of their brand style is appealing to me and their chocolate tastes very smooth, very rich ,mmm when you have to make a choice go for the Green and Black they make the best organic chocolate and vegans can eat it too.

Typical rookie mistake huh?

I thought my idea was so good that all I had to do was start out with an advertising campaign on Yaro and then build my relationship with you from there.

But that strategy is not working like I envisioned, you are not paying me much attention and I understand but I am not going to sit around feeling sorry for myself.

I decided to formulate my online marketing strategy, I need to build an email list, that’s the main thing and the strategy that I have become obsessed with to accomplish that goal is article marketing.

Do you market your articles online?

If you know how to write and you want to drive traffic to your blog and you want to build your subscriber base then how come you don’t really spend time with developing an article marketing strategy?

Here is what I learned

Mason Rudolph the owner of Article Lessons got 20,107 subscribers in just 90 days by using an article marketing strategy to drive traffic to his email sign up page.

Yaro Starak wrote an article which testified about the power of article marketing.I t got him a lot of page views that’s what he said.

Adeel Chowdry admits that article marketing is what he uses to make a full time income on the web.

Basically the bottom line of it is this, article marketing is the best way for a regular joe

like me to generate traffic and to build a following of people on the web.

But guess what?

Article marketing is not just about cranking out any ole’ article and submitting them to the article directories because there is a science to making it work

To be successful in article marketing you have got to:

submit at least 5 unique articles a day, 5 days a week so that’s 100 articles a month

choose keywords that get at least 500 searches a month but have less than 100,000 websites Google competing for that word.

You must strive to put the chosen keyword term as the first term in the article that you are going to submit to the directories

In your resource box you will have to ask the reader a question that will entice them to click on your link found within the resource box

have a email sign up landing page that your article will direct traffic to

I have begun formulating my keyword list.

It will take me some time to build because my goal is to submit 200 unique articles a month. Therefore I have to comprise a list of 2400 good keywords so that i will have my marketing plan prepared for the entire upcoming year.

Of course I am going to outsource the writing part of the process and it might cost me about $800 bucks a month to do so but the amount of traffic that I will get spending that $800 a month on unique articles will be much more in terms of targeted traffic than paying that money to somebody like Yaro or John Chow for advertising space on their website.

So that’s the new strategy.

Article marketing, I will keep you updated on my accomplishments.

So far I have managed to compose a of 200 keywords that fit my criteria, just 2200 more to go!

I know that building a keyword list to serve me for an entire year can seem a bit tedious but want to build my list of keywords in one shot so that I don’t have to worry about doing ever again once its done.

The plan that I have is to automate the marketing part of my business as much as possible.

Once I get everything set up, all I will be doing to get traffic is submitting articles to the web and writing guest posts.

I have already produced a database of 25 blogs that I want to write for.

My marketing plan is this:

When somebody in my target group signs up to my email sign up page, I will give to them over a period of 30 days, the free version of my training course.

My training course if you don’t already know is aimed at teaching a blogger how to apply business principles in order to sell the benefits of their very own pay for access online community website.

But since you guys are not paying any attention to me, I have made some changes to the course. i decided to make a free version to give away.

The free version is customized it for anyone that has writing ability (not just bloggers) and I have incorporated article marketing techniques, email list building techniques along with the concept of how to use business principles to sell access to a pay to join community.

So I am excited.

I am going to use article marketing to drive traffic to my free training course sign up page and then sell access to my very own social network towards the end of the course.

I still have some more building to do but I will keep you informed about accomplishments and when I ready to launch the free version of my course I will let you know.

Today’s article was a little personal but tomorrow I will introduce you to something a little bit more social scientific.

Tomorrow I want to teach you what I know about the role of online media and the concept seduction, so stay tuned.
