Weight Loss with the Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction will bring into your life the things you think about the most, this is called manifesting. Everything that exists right now was once a thought, and through effort and concentration was brought into existence.
This is the same for you, if you brought extra weight into your life it is because you make the effort and concentrated your thoughts and gained the weight. Maybe a bit unconsciously, but that is what you did.
Your thoughts count.
If you want to lose weight, you must start with the right mind set. It is a fact that when seeking weight loss most people think about reducing the amount of food they eat. Therefore, instead of eating a pound of celery, they eat a half pound of pizza and think they have reduced. Volume not calories is all they are concerned about as inside they are thinking that weight loss will be painful.
What you think about will come out of your mouth. You will eventually speak the thoughts you are having; it is human nature to do this. When you hear yourself say things like “this won’t work” and “I can’t lose weight”, you are revealing what you are thinking, and this is what you are attracting into your life.
The Law of Attraction does not care
Whatever you are thinking and saying is what you are manifesting into your life. You are what brings it to you; it is your responsibility to make your life what you want it to be. To do this you have to correct your thoughts and your patterns.
To achieve weight loss goals you need to convince yourself ahead of time that you will succeed. Once you start do not quit, and whenever you catch yourself thinking that this will not work, correct yourself with a firm reprimand and a counter thought that it can and must work.
Losing weight does not have to mean sacrifice and suffering.
Weight loss programs are just methods that you can use to achieve goals in your life. To start a program gives you tools to use to achieve weight loss goals, as well as opening up to a more full and healthy life.
Thinking about feeling good about yourself, looking good, and doing the things you want to do. Do not focus on the fat, focus on the new and improved you. In a short while, always with the right attitude you will see the changes in your life.
With this, you can lead a healthier and happier life, being able to do and be whatever you desire...

Making Think and Grow Rich Work for You
How does one know they are correctly using the knowledge in the book Think and Grow Rich? As written in the book the answer is “when riches begin to come they come so quickly, in such great abundance, that one wonders where they have been hiding during all those lean years”. When you begin to use the teachings of Think and Grow Rich, you discover that riches are a state of mind.
Yes, this means that Think and grow rich is a philosophy, and that faith and practice are an integral part of it. That you will have needed to learn the philosophy and have the faith that it works. Once you apply your newfound belief you will see that everything you decide to do will become an asset working for your benefit, and your financial status will begin to improve.
The main weakness of people today is that we have all been taught that “real life” does not allow for dreams. We have been taught that some things are just impossible, that we cannot do them as it is beyond our station. Therefore, who is it exactly who set our station for us? The hard truth is that we did, we were told that it was the truth and we accepted it. The reality is quite the opposite, in that we can and do have the free will to achieve any accomplishment we so choose.
You must accept that you are not limited by your situation; you can change it for your betterment. You can completely change everything in your life if you so choose. Your life is completely your choice. You and you alone are responsible for your fate and current situation. Every choice you have made so far has been just that… Your choice! Today you find yourself where you are because of the choices you have made. You must accept that you are the you that you have chosen to be.
Now you might be feeling a little discomfort right now. Guess what, that is the feeling you need to know when the truth is revealed to you. Truth is not always easy to accept, but you must if you are ever going to think and grow rich. You will discover that you can, and unlearn that you cannot. Success comes to those who seek it, to those who do not actively seek success the opposite is their reward.
Where does this lead us? Towards prosperity if we so choose it. When we think and grow rich we are putting into use the principles, shall we dare say the universal laws that exist, into use. We are behaving, believing, and acting in such a way that we cannot avoid growing rich. We will look back on this day as a memory of learning the truth. That we are the ones who get to decide for our own life, that we are the ones who are in charge of our selves. The beautiful part is that now that we know, we can begin, to live our lives.

Rapid Manifestation
This was so good I am forwarding it to you in its entirety.
Hello Friend
I want to talk to you about The Law of Attraction and
Quantum Physics in more detail to make sure you are
clear on how they works in your life.
Since you are not new to this I won't talk about the general
aspects, but would like to discuss some of the specifics. My
intention is to give you further confidence that when you
understand and use these principles correctly, your ability to
create anything in your life is unlimited.
We know the Law of Attraction is simply stating that like
vibrations are attracted to each other, and dissimilar vibrations
repel each other. In other words, you will never attract riches in
your life if you are constantly sending out the opposite or
contradictory vibration. There is just no way around it. The
bottom line is, you will never attract high energy results from low
energy vibrations.
Okay, let's get into some advanced concepts. First, let's talk
about time. Albert Einstein said that time does not exist as we
know it. So there is no difference between the past, present and
future. They are only an illusion, although these illusions
certainly seem real to us. So the past, present and future coexist
simultaneously right now.
We tend to think of time as horizontal. The past is behind us. The
future is in front of us and it goes on in this sequential
ever-unfolding way. Another way we could illustrate this is if we
draw a line on a piece of paper where the past is on the left and
the future is on the right.
Just for the sake of exploration, let's say that time is vertical
instead of horizontal. By vertical time, imagine putting a line on
a piece of paper that represents NOW then right above write NOW,
and above that, write another NOW. So what happens is you have
now, now, now, now all happening at the same time. There is no
past or future.
Some physicists are saying that there are at least eleven different
dimensions that exist simultaneously. So, in the context of looking
at time vertically, that means all of our "nows" would go up and
down though eleven dimensions. I believe that we will discover
there are many more dimensions than that, but we can use eleven for
the purpose of our discussion.
Okay, stay with me here. One of the most fundamental laws of
physics states than energy can never be created or destroyed.
Instead, energy merely passes from one form to another. What if
there were multiple "nows", universes, or existences coexisting all
at the same time? This means that everything that ever existed or
CAN ever exist is ALREADY here.
If this is true, and from everything I have researched it indicates
that it is, then when we decide which universe (now) we choose to
observe, we are essentially choosing our reality.
In theory, you could choose a universe where you are a millionaire
or a homeless person. You could choose a healthy body or
one with illness. You could have a perfect mate or a dysfunctional
relationship. You are the one that chooses (or not) through your
ATTENTION and POINT OF FOCUS. And since energy flows where your
attention goes, this is what you are experiencing in your life. (We
will continue our discussion tomorrow.)
Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT! No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will
only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.
Truly Caring for Your Success!
Dr. Robert Anthony
P.S. One of the advanced techniques I use involves bypassing your
inner gatekeeper to change your subconscious blueprint...

How Can I Use the Law of Attraction Part 6
Let the universe do its own work in its own time! Another reason to have patience and allow is that it is possible to become so focused on what you think is going to happen that you manage to totally miss it right when it is in front of your face. Just because the event did not occur in precisely the manner you demanded that it would.
Always keep in mind that the universe will choose its own time and place for all things to occur. Also be aware that these events may take place through rather unusual means. So you also have to be open to how and when your desire will be met. By precisely predetermining exactly how and when you will receive the rewards which you are seeking you are taking away the choice from the hands of the greater power, which directs the ebb and flow of all the energies of life, and setting yourself up for a hard fall.
You can best achieve success with manifesting when you simply allow for it to happen. Just set your desire, and set a “bookmark” so that you will know when the desire has arrived. Let us say you desire a mate, if you get too involved with the first person you meet you might miss your soul mate when they appear. So set a milestone to know when your objective has been met, such as my soul mate will love to read the same kind of books I do, or will be an early riser like me, or will be happy to meet my dad, and so on. A simple, yet non restricting way, of measuring when you have finally manifested your desire, this way you will know that you have manifested and that the universe is working with and for you, not against you.
Be careful about taking the ability to choose upon yourself, for when you do you are essentially saying that you do not have faith in the ability of the law of attraction to work. Continuing to try to force the issue will eventually cause you to disbelieve in the law of attraction, which will cause your subconscious to radiate the negative energy which will drive the positive energy away, in turn causing it to “never” work for you.
To sum up; the third ingredient for manifesting is patience. Make sure that you exercise your patience and you will be greatly rewarded.

How Can I Use the Law of Attraction Part 5
1. Affection
2. Comfort
3. Confidence
4. Cheerfulness
5. Delight
6. Excitement
7. Friendship
8. Happiness
9. Hopefulness
10. Joy
11. Love
12. Optimism
Now we must add in the believing and patience. It is essential that once you have placed a request with the universe that you are willing to have patience for the desired results to occur. The universe is not always going to give you exactly what you want, exactly when you want it. It does things in its own time and it does them better.
Believing and positive thinking is enough to manifest what you want, but it is hard to do because positive thinking occurs only on the conscious level. This explains why positive thinking is not enough by itself to put into effect the law of attraction. It is also necessary for belief to be added into the mix to achieve manifesting, in other words you have to feed the vibration into the subconscious as well
It has long been held that the subconscious has a direct effect on the actions and beliefs of the conscious mind, a topic which will be discussed in greater detail a bit later on, but for now it is sufficient to say that if the conscious mind is attempting to think positive thoughts while the subconscious retains a negative energy the two will cancel each other out, and the desired effect will not be achieved. The universe works at its own speed; remember, every action carries with it an equal and opposite reaction. It is essential that the other environmental conditions be right in order for an event to occur just as it should.
This means that manifesting with the law of attraction may take weeks, months or even years to effect a fruitful reaction to your desires. It seems that people of today are spoiled; they want what they want and they want it now. So this means that a new theory that does not produce instant results is not going to be received with a great deal of favor. If there is not instant gratification then there is disbelief, and belief plays a large part of manifesting. Without belief there can not be manifesting, it is like making pizza without the cheese, just not right.
You can’t push the universe to act when you want it. It will deliver when the time is right, and no sooner or later, be confident in its ability to affect the desired results. So you must be content to wait, knowing that what you want most will come to you in time.

How Can I Use the Law of Attraction Part 4
To manifest what it is we desire we must be positive, we must think, speak, act, and feel positive. This is what creates! Please understand that we are always thinking, and it is our thoughts that cause the cosmic ether to react and create what we have thought about. When we are purposely manifesting our desires then it is the positive vibrations that will see our desired reality created. The release of positive energy into the universe is what allows you to chart the course of your destiny to success, failing to hold the positive will result in uncertainty that will eventually lead you unhappiness. Yes it may seem a bit hard to have to remain positive all the time, and at first it is, but with practice it becomes easier and easier.
Now I am not saying that a momentary lapse of positive vibes will cause you to lose all that you are trying to use manifesting for. Simply realize that you are starting to think poorly and correct yourself to think positive again. This is normal, think of it like letting off on the gas pedal of your vehicle, it is still moving but starts to lose momentum. Well, so it is with manifesting, being positive is pushing the gas pedal and driving you closer to your desires. Thinking negative is letting off of the gas. If you stay negative for long enough eventually your vehicle will stop, and maybe even begin to roll backwards.
As you may have gathered from the previous section, manifesting with the law of attraction does not always work the way that all parties involved would like it to. Why is that? After all, in the law of attraction is universal, why does it seem to only work part of the time? I’ll bet you know the answer already. Now of course almost all of it falls back on the user’s ability to follow the guidelines required, the only thing standing between you and success is yourself; you are responsible for your own fate. If the mind is clogged with so much negative energy that it cannot release the positive vibes which will attract the positive energies of the universe, the law of attraction will not be able to help that person. They must first rid themselves of all of these negative vibes and start fresh.
Thinking positive is just one aspect of using the law of attraction for manifesting your desires. Manifesting is a skill and as with any skill it takes time, effort and devotion to truly master in your life this fabulous new tool called manifesting.

How Can I Use the Law of Attraction Part 3
To manifest the things and situations you truly desire into your life you must raise your vibrations so that they are all positive. So how do you do that? First you must act and feel as though the result you desire for is going to occur. When you are first starting this process you may not actually feel as though it is possible, so you must retrain your self to think positive. Say to your self “You are successful” rather than “You will be successful” and every time you begin to doubt yourself you must immediately correct yourself and tell your-self with firm vigor that you ARE successful. This retraining may take a day or it may take months, it is solely up to you on how well you retrain your thinking.
This thinking process is an essential part of manifesting with the law of attraction. The greater power does not always instantly deliver what you desire; it is this way to keep us from destroying things. The greater good behind all things is for growth and expansion, and if things were too easily available they would be wasted rather than treasured. Many people cannot grasp the concept that to manifest into your life anything of quality takes time. During this time you must remain positive about your self and the desire to be manifested. To think negatively will cause the desire to be cancelled.
Stay focused on what you do want, not what you don’t want, whatever you focus on the most will be what you receive. Always think positive, and when you do catch yourself being negative immediately change your thinking and remind yourself that you ARE going to achieve your goals and dreams. Be on guard against your old self, because it is very easy to allow your mind to begin to wander to negative thoughts, and when it does you must catch your mind, and remind it to always be positive about your dreams and goals. This part may seem simple, and it is, but it is the hardest to accomplish.
A great tactic to use here is to accept that it can happen. Many times it is your own subconscious that is your biggest stumbling block. The struggle will be you attempting to convince your mind that something can happen while your subconscious is trying to pick out the reasons that it won’t. To reinforce your faith you should look again at the sheet of paper upon which you have written your goals and dreams, and remind yourself that when you wrote them it didn’t seem impossible then, and it did not become impossible just because you went into the other room. It is an epic struggle, but one that you can win with simple persistence.

How Can I Use the Law of Attraction Part 2
Identify the things you wish to achieve and write them down. Yes I am very serious; write it on a piece of paper, use a scrap piece at first to write down what you think you want to do. Make the list in small chunks with the ultimate goal at the bottom. For example you want to be the next president of the United States, which would be at the bottom, above that would be the steps needed to get there. Like register for a political party, get elected for another position, get the prerequisite education and experience and so on, with the easiest goal at the top. Then get a brand shiny new piece of paper and rewrite the list neatly and in order, and in large print. Then find a place where you will spend time every day and tape this piece of paper there so that you see it multiple times every day. The bathroom mirror is a good place, the cupboard door above the coffee pot, the wall next to the TV and so on.
Having it there where you are able to constantly view the anticipated results of your endeavors will help to keep you on the right track. What you have just done with the creation of this list is that you are asking the universe for what you want. In essence you have placed your order and now must wait for the product to arrive. While you are waiting take some actions to help speed up the process. If you do nothing, then nothing will happen. If you start doing things to work towards that first goal, then in due time you will achieve your ultimate goal.
Take your time, all day if you have to, and think on this for a while so that it is embedded firmly in your mind. Get your list made and posted, do not even think of going to the next lesson until you accomplish this task. Remember that manifesting will sometimes happen quickly and sometimes slowly, but what you ask for you will get, so be very careful what you ask for so you don’t manifest yourself into a worse situation.

How Can I Use the Law of Attraction?
Now this may seem like going backwards, but the first step in finding success through the law of attraction is to accept responsibility for all the things that have occurred in your life, yes all of them. For now just accept it, if you want to argue that something wasn’t your fault or doing you can argue later.
This is the most difficult part of achieving success through manifestation, the first step of a journey. Now we are taught from childhood to believe that our environment contributes a large part to the circumstances in which we find ourselves. Well this may be true or not, the task at hand is the taking the responsibility and acknowledging the fact that you have no one to blame but yourself.
This is the first step you must take before you can begin to manifest a better life for you self. So spend the rest of today accepting that what you are now is because of the actions you have taken and accept that good or bad it is because of you.

Manifesting Your True Happiness
In the world today there are many people who are teaching manifesting. Most of these new age gurus are teaching that if you just think about it then you can have the new yacht, the new car, the new house, and whatever causes your happiness. However, a shocking fact that it seems gets left out or ignored is the question; what about you?
For a person to achieve riches from rags there has to be a change inside the person. This is why you must first manifest your self, and then all the worldly toys will follow. You have to be happy with your self, then the toys will come. In other words your happiness must come from inside. The main point is that you must first make yourself ready for the things you desire. Another way to put it is to achieve manifesting through self improvement, or manifest your new self.
Now a quick point to make here, the law of attraction has been bandied about a lot lately and so many people are becoming interested in the subject. When you are consciously using the law of attraction it is called manifesting. Compare it to the term driving, when you use a car to go somewhere it is called driving. So when you are using the law of attraction you are manifesting, and this is what will result in your happiness.
Now you cant just read a single book and expect to become like the fabled genie who can make it happen immediately, you must first attune yourself to the desire, then the desire will be met, only after you have changed, will the universe change. One of the first things that everyone needs to do is change to a more positive and healthy outlook about yourself. You must become a better person, appreciate your self worth, have some self esteem, and be a better person to the universe. When you enjoy your self that is when your happiness will arrive.
One of the first things you need to learn... Yes there it is the “learn” word, which means it will take effort and work... is to not take other peoples criticism to heart, instead listen only to what they are saying and learn from it. If the person is berating you, ask them to rephrase the tirade so that you can understand what they need. If they are using derogatory terms ask them to be a little more professional or courteous and explain the situation not their opinion. That may seem scary, but with practice it will become easier and easier each time you do it.
An excellent tirade stopper is the time out signal used by darn near every sport out there, the two hand tee. Then use your voice and ask the person who is behaving poorly towards you to rephrase. Also keep in mind that this person is not going to stay awake at night worried they hurt your feelings, so don’t allow the conversation to become personal or affect your feelings.
The next two skills for manifesting your self and your happiness is to learn to say no to those who will not treat you correctly, and to take some time out for yourself everyday.
First stop allowing other people to lead your life. When they ask you to do unpleasant or demeaning, or extremely inconvenient things for them and you know they are just taking advantage of you, is to just learn to say no, and mean it. Your time and energy are valuable; do not waste them on people who will not appreciate the gift of you and your talent. Say no, and mean it.
The second skill mentioned above is to learn to do “Me Time”; this is where you will see the most miraculous manifesting of your self occur. Learn to meditate, look inside yourself and realize all your good points and as painful as it may seem now, discover your bad traits, admit them, and change them into more positive and constructive traits.
The Forgotten Laws
Celebrate even the smallest achievements that you accomplish, treat your self whenever you do something new, or well, or better. Soon you will see your life turning around from abject misery to utter joy, and you will have your happiness.
Do something everyday that you enjoy, such as talking a walk in the park, or a really long bath with scented bubbles, or going to a place you enjoy like the library or museum or reading room. Talk positively to yourself, to chase away negative thoughts and feelings never deprive yourself of something you enjoy, if you feel you shouldn’t be doing it, then do it anyway and stop chastising yourself about it. To manifest your self you will have to take actions, these will at first seem hard, but as you repeat the actions, and improve on them you will see more and more change for the better.
Finally when you least expect it you will discover that you are a new you, that you have manifested a new and better you. You will see that life is beautiful, and all those things you previously just wanted, if you still want them, then you can make them happen using your new skill of manifesting.

Confidence Leads to True Happiness
Having confidence means having poise, assurance, coolness, and other traits that are desirable. But to have self confidence is to know and realizing your self-worth. True Happiness is derived from inside your self. This is about you, the person you are in life. We give others respect, love and consideration but how often do we give ourselves what is due?
What we give ourselves is based on self esteem; your self-esteem essentially shows you how much you value yourself. Healthy self-esteem leads to happiness, flexibility, the ability to adapt, and a positive outlook on life. Low self-esteem leads only to irrational thoughts, unhappiness, fear, and a negative outlook on life in general. If we are seeking true happiness then we need to understand a bit about our self.
How we see ourselves is how others perceive us, if we are happy, smiling and full of confidence then others see us as someone they want to be around, if we respect ourselves then others will respect us in return, Having self confidence will cause the world around us to grant us our true happiness. While have low self esteem will cause the world around us to make us miserable.
So let us look at some of the traits so you can determine if you need some self improvement to get your confidence level where it should be so that you can finally get some true happiness.
Now these traits are general and not all inclusive, if you feel you might match some of these then you do need a bit of self improvement to get some true happiness. The first one is that you don’t believe in yourself and are very insecure. This leads to you having problems showing and accepting intimacy in relationships because you never let your true feelings show. The next one is that you never recognize and give yourself credit for your accomplishments, when you accomplish something even if you are given due credit, you belittle it and purposely devalue yourself and your contribution. The last one is that you have the inability to forgive yourself or others and so you resist change at every opportunity
Did any of that seem to apply to you? If so you need to work on your self. That means self improvement. Don’t get all worried about the term self improvement as it is only a term. Rather worry about true happiness as that is what makes for a better life. Do not get all concerned over a tool, rather concentrate on the result. True happiness comes only after you have learned to accept that you are worthy.
So in conclusion, you now know you need some self improvement. Once you start you will learn about you, which will lead to healthy self esteem. You will learn to be secure about who you are and have confidence in your abilities, you will discover how to allow yourself to show your true feelings to you will be able to recognize and take pride in yourself for your achievements in life. All these things together will lead to true happiness in you life.

How Does the Law of Attraction Compare
As the knowledge of the law of attraction and power of positive thinking has grown there have been many which have attempted to make a profit from this incredible discovery. This has spawned a new era of “subliminal products”, which retailers then proceed to sell on the market for a ridiculous price and reap the profits. The difference between subliminal messaging products and the law of attraction is the profit margin. Quite simply, there isn’t one.
You don’t need to have any special equipment to maximize the power of the law of attraction; it is all there in your own mind. Neither do you need an ancient guru to teach you how to use it; once you have mastered the fundamentals upon which the law of attraction is built you are ready to put it into practice.
These same sentiments cannot be expressed with regards to many of the other subliminal programs on the market. These programs claim to be able to help their users lose weight, stop smoking, become smarter, get a new job, move past their shyness, improve their relationships, etc. Do they work? Not always. The law of attraction is the only subconscious means by which to ensure success in whatever endeavor you choose to undertake.
It is only fair that if you are studying the law of attraction you learn a little bit about the various other subliminal programs available. This will allow you to compare them all and understand why the law of attraction is the only one which has been proven time and time again (regardless of what the researchers would have you hear).
Subliminal Messaging is one of the oldest forms of subliminal manipulation, and has been the one to face the greatest amount of controversy. The belief held by the believers in subliminal messaging is that since memories can often be pulled forth from the subconscious to the conscious mind, the subconscious must continue to have some effect on the conscious, whether the owner of said consciousness is aware of it or not.
Those who use subliminal messaging attempt to use various methods to introduce an idea to the subconscious, which will then transmit that idea to the conscious when the proper occasion arises. This is done through the introduction of a brief (often a thousandth of a second) signal to the audio and/or visual senses. This message will be so short that the conscious mind will immediately disregard it as being unimportant, while the subconscious will take the information and store it away.
Subliminal messaging was first introduced in the late 19th century and was introduced in the 1950s as a possible marketing tool. Mr. James Vicary claimed that during a film shown in his New Jersey theater he had used a tachistoscope to broadcast the words “Drink Coca-Cola” and “Hungry? Eat popcorn” for 1/3000 of a second at five second intervals and that during the time of these broadcasts sales of both increased dramatically. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca_cola)
This sparked a huge debate among the people of the United States, who were afraid that the government would now use subliminal messaging to attempt to control the things they thought and did; they would not be able to do anything about it because they would never know. This controversy led to the banning of subliminal messaging for any type of marketing purpose.
Although Mr. Vicary later admitted that the experiment had been a fraud the concept of subliminal messaging had been brought out into the open, and its possible benefits were explored at length; however, to date no study has definitively shown subliminal messaging to be an effective way to control behavior.
Affirmation is the firm declaration of something to be true, and is intended to convince the mind that what it wants to happen will. For example, stating over and over again, “I can get any job I want” is intended to instill in the mind the confidence to go out and get any job that it wants. This resembles the law of attraction, but is not sufficient to sway the subconscious until other methods are employed as well. Wikipedia describes affirmation as so (this was interesting, showing very well how affirmation and the law of attraction are joined together, and would not have been the same if it was altered in any way).
In spirituality and personal development, an affirmation is a form of autosuggestion in which a statement of a desirable intention or condition of the world or the mind is deliberately meditated on and/or repeated in order to implant it in the mind. Many believers recommend accompanying recitations with mental visualization of a desired outcome. Affirmation could be viewed positively as a mobilization of one's inner resources, or negatively as a kind of self-induced brainwashing, depending on the psychological depth and wisdom of the affirmation.
For example, believers would consider "I am making more room in my life for success every day" a much wiser affirmation than "I will win the lottery today!" Affirmations are always phrased in the first person and usually in a present tense ("I am") rather than a future tense ("I will") in order to increase the realization of the statement for the affirmed.
Affirmations are believed to be a very powerful means of reprogramming the unconscious mind. They appear to be most effective when repeated in a quiet and restful state of mind and body, and when the desired outcome is vividly experienced in one's mind and resulting emotions are felt. They are an intrinsic part of many New Age groups. However, in these groups affirmations are generally recited in flat, mechanical voices at top speed and volume, in order to elevate participants' "vibratory levels".
Perhaps the most often used and well-known affirmation is the word "Amen," which can be translated simply as "so be it" or "and so it is," affirming the truth of whatever was written or said immediately prior. While often used to conclude prayer, the word itself is neutral as to its context and exemplifies a logical affirmation more than a spiritual one.
Visualization works in much the same way as affirmation; you visualize yourself achieving something and your brain will come to believe it is so; therefore, you will be able to do it. Again, this is closely related to the law of attraction but does not address any underlying issues which could contribute to negative vibes.
In Conclusion: Although the power of the law of attraction has yet to be supported by any physical means its effects have been proven time and time again. In spite of the opposition which you will surely face, both within your own mind and throughout the rest of your societal acquaintances, if you adhere carefully to the guidelines set forth you too will be able to unlock the power hidden within the depths of your own mind and chart the course for your own destiny.

How to Get a Job Fast - 3 Easily Overlooked Sources of Fast
Jobs
- by Tony Mase

http://www.constructivescience.com
===========================================================
If you're looking to get a job fast, whether it's because
you have to or want to, in today's "high-tech" society with
its "high-tech" mentality, it's real easy to overlook some
tried-and-true "low-tech" sources of fast jobs...
Here are three of the best:
Fast Job Source #1 - People You Know
I've heard that as many as 80% of all jobs are obtained
through other people, not advertising. Based on the people I
know who have jobs, I'd have to say that number is fairly
accurate, if not a tad on the low side. That being the case,
if you're looking to get a job fast, your single, number one
best job source is the people you know.
Therefore, the most efficient and effective thing you can do
to get a job fast is to call everyone you know and I do mean
*everyone* - friends, relatives, neighbors, acquaintances,
people you know from clubs and organizations, former co-
workers, and yes, even former employers (assuming you left
them on good terms) - to let them know you're seeking
employment, ask them if they know of anyone hiring, and, if
they don't, if they'd be willing to ask around for you
(don't forget to follow-up with them if they say yes).
Fast Job Source #2 - Newspapers
Believe it or not, there are many small business owners, the
largest creators of jobs there are, who can barely turn on a
computer, let alone post a job listing online. Thus, they
still rely on good old-fashioned newspapers to advertise job
openings.
The employment or "help wanted" section of the good old
Sunday newspaper is still one of the best sources of job
openings there is, but don't ignore the daily, weekly,
monthly, and even the "shopper" type papers as they're often
equally as good, sometimes even better, sources.
Fast Job Source #3 - Signs
Just the other day, I was talking with a gal who told me, "I
can't find a job anywhere, no one's hiring." "Do you ever go
to __________?" I asked her. "Yea, I go there every
morning," she said. "What about __________?" I asked. "I'm
in there once or twice a week," she replied.
"Well," I told her, "both of them have great big signs on
their doors that read *Now Hiring*."
Her somewhat sheepish reply?
"Oh, I didn't see them."
Why didn't she see them, you ask?
Simple...
She wasn't looking for them. :-)
My advice?
Don't let that be you!
Many small businesses, again the largest creators of jobs
there are, never go beyond word-of-mouth, newspaper ads,
and/or "help wanted" signs to get all the help they need.
Therefore, you'd be foolish to overlook these sources of
fast jobs.

Thinking - The Great Secret of Success
We must first think in terms of success before we can manifest success. To build a consciousness of success we must first think. Today’s lesson is all about the effort to impress upon you the fact that all achievement begins with thought. Knowing that all things proceed from thought is not enough; we should learn how to build upon that to create a success consciousness.
There are many successful people in this world, some great some small, but all are successful. These people did not simply wake up one morning and find their world had changed; no they followed a pattern and created their world to their liking. For an example a world famous chef creates a fabulous dish of excellent taste, well anyone can emulate that meal by simply following a recipe. So it is with our life, we can find someone who has done it before and follow their example and achieve the same results. You find that, by carefully following the instructions, that there is no mystery at all. When you have a genuine success consciousness it does not mean that you might succeed; it is a guaranteed definite promise of success.
To have and possess a success consciousness is the master key to this life; it is holding that state of mind so that you cannot see yourself as anything but a success. How this must be emphasized, read it again, write it on the wall in front of you, make a poster, and remember this! Know it to be true, because it is true, and it will become a force that causes you to be and do as you will.
What about those large projects, can you accomplish them? As the old proverb says; “you eat an elephant one bite at a time”. You can accomplish those huge tasks by breaking them into smaller tasks and then doing one task at a time. Can you physically get to the top of a stair case? When you are at the bottom looking up, it appears to be a daunting accomplishment, but you can get to the top. Not in a single action, you have to take one step at a time and soon enough you are at the top. The same principle applies to everything, can you climb a mountain? Yes one step at a time. Can you build an empire? Yes, one step at a time.
Let us further reinforce this point with an example. A friend of my daughter wanted to make a wooden sword, so as a gift I procured a piece of wood for him. However he had no knowledge of the use of tools or woodworking, and so the board sat in my shed and took up space. I reminded him of the wood, yet nothing was being done with it, until I helped him. I showed him how to make a cut with a saw, and asked him if he could do that, and he of course said yes. Then I showed him how to use a jig saw, and asked him if he could do it, and he said yes, then I showed him how to use a plane and a sander and he again said he could do that. So with a little coaching, we spent an afternoon in the yard and when he was done he had a wooden sword. He has now gone on to making fancier designs and finishes, and might even start his own flea market stand selling his handy work to offset the cost of all the tools he has since bought.
What he was not seeing was the process of turning a plain piece of wood into an object he desired. He did not know the steps required going from a board to a sword, but once he was shown he soon became very good at this hobby and made it a craft that soon may support him. He developed a success consciousness that he could turn an ordinary board into something that he desired.
Having a success consciousness will lead you to success in any direction you choose. If your desire is the building of a grand estate or a financial empire, a success consciousness will lead you exactly there. You must simply think of it the follow the steps to accomplish it. So what is the formula for building a success consciousness?
Because you need to know this I will give it to you, step by step. Know that anything accomplished by another can be accomplished by you. You have heard of many other people, who have gone from rags to riches, you have probably read about many a great accomplishment by seemingly ordinary people. They did not do anything that you can’t do, all you need is to think it and then do it. There are no barriers to the person man with the “I CAN-I WILL” spirit. You simply create an I CAN awareness, burn those four letters I C A N into your mind, avoid the use of the words hope, wish, and try, and emphasize the word CAN.
Every time you hear of, or view, the achievement of another, instead of quickly thinking “I CAN'T”; know that, if you desire to, you can achieve the same or better. Even though, you may not know how at the time, make the statement “I CAN”. Soon you will find that your mind, instead of being closed with the negative feeling that the task is beyond you, will begin to understand how simple it will be for you to accomplish.
The next step is to create an “I WILL” attitude. As soon as you get an objective which you know will help you, get started on it at once instead of putting it off until tomorrow, which never seems to come. Many people may have an I CAN attitude, but they cannot seem to get started. They have countless reasons why it will be best to start at some later date. This is called procrastination. Perhaps if we understand some of the reasons for procrastination, we will have less reason to procrastinate.
Starting a task requires more effort than to continue. Simply once the task is underway it continues on much more easily than the initial effort. In getting starting you must first think of what you're going to do first, and then how to do it. You must think about the tools and materials you'll need for the job; where they are and how to get them. Still even after these steps are taken, it takes a period of time to get into full swing. This causes people to spend much time in thinking about the task before getting started. This thinking stage should last for minutes, hours, or even a day or two. Procrastination kicks in when the thinking causes the days to become weeks and sometimes extend into months, or years.
Since time marches on, it is better to dwell on the time of completion instead of the time of beginning. This way, your mind will think of the happy ending, instead of the laborious beginning. Use this principle in connection with every task you put your hand to. Think of how good it will feel to have been done with the labor and enjoy the benefits, and then start the labor and soon you will enjoy the fruits.
The next step is to have a definite objective. It is well to know that you CAN do things and that you WILL do things; but, what is it that you will to do? Know what it is that you desire to accomplish, and make sure that it will make your life more successful, happier, and healthier. Then you will be ready for the next step. While this step seems a bit simple, it strangely is the one that most people have trouble with. So start small, and work big. If you desire to have a better color in your kitchen decide the color, buy the paint and the brushes and get to work, soon you will have your kitchen in your favorite color and will be happy. Decide what you want to happen, and then make it happen.
Now this next step is one you must pay attention to. Develop a “Do it now” attitude. After your objective has been examined and analyzed, and you find that you CAN do it, and WILL do it, apply your “Do it now” attitude; and DO it!
Once you have done these steps you now have a success consciousness. You will rejoice in the fact that you are the master of your circumstances; that they are not the master of you. If you are not happy with your life as it is, you now know that it is easily within your power to change it; to be and do as you will.
When a person starts anything with a success consciousness, they are guided to think the thoughts and do the things which will bring success. When they are prompted by mere wishing, they do the things which bring failure. Wishing is negative. We do not wish for the things we know we can get. Do you wish for a glass of water when you know that a simple trip to the faucet with a cup will fulfill that need? No you go and get it, so it is with all other things, if you wish for it and do nothing you fail, but if you know you can have it and go get it you will be satisfied.
To those who know anything at all about the workings of the mind, you are what you think. This is no mystery; if you hold a thought to the effect that a certain task will be difficult, your mind accepts the thought as an instruction and actually makes the task difficult. If, on the other hand, you enjoy a certain job and know that it will prove to be easy for you, your mind will accept that thought as an instruction, and will guide you in doing your work quickly and well.
Isn't it now quite clear to you that you are what you think you are; and that if you have not been getting as much out of life as you might have wished for, there is no one to blame except yourself? What would you think of a person that was starving to death and yet had a kitchen full of food? This question may appear ridiculous, unless you realize that so many people are doing virtually just that. They possess everything they need for health, wealth and happiness, yet without making use of their powers within, they just exist without enjoying the many blessings which could be theirs.
Knowledge is of no value unless you use it. Instead of just agreeing with me, give these ideas a chance to work for you. Practice, practice, and practice some more. Do not approach this with an "I wonder if they will work" attitude. They do work, they work for many others and they will work for you. You can begin developing a success consciousness: You can begin building an awareness that you have talent in any field you so choose.
Before going on with the rest of your day; pause a moment for contemplation. Review what you have read, if the contents do not clearly come back to you, read it again. It would be impossible to place a cash value on what you have just learned. Do not allow yourself to lose a bit of it.

How to Be Healthy
To state the obvious; today’s discussion will be about health and physical well being. Just to cover the bases; start out by having your doctor give you a thorough examination. If the doctor finds anything basically wrong with you, have it taken care of, and then apply the principles we are discussing today.
There are a lot of people who have an illness consciousness. They continually fear that some new ailment is developing in them. First we must understand there is intelligence in every cell of your body, and because of this, mental pictures of ailments of various sorts will actually transmit the message to your cells with the result that you will always be feeling all the aches and pains you can think of. In short holding mental pictures of illness will, during the process of cell renewal, bring weaker cells into being, causing you to be and stay ill.
So what we need to do is develop our mental picture of radiant health. At first see yourself continually getting better and better in every respect. Add in to your daily routine that you are getting stronger every day, say it, sing it, feel it. Then instead of looking for ailments, notice how much better you are getting. When you wake in the morning your first words should be that you are glad to be alive, then take a second and feel your existence and say you are getting better everyday. Enjoy the great feeling of being healthy. When you go to bed at night pause and think how good it will be to arise and start another challenging day of exciting activity, with your new strength and health.
OK, now you ask “that is all well and good, but what is radiant health?” This is a fair question, the answer is simple, radiant health is what you think it is. If you can not see a picture of radiant health, go to the store and get one of those fitness magazines, look through the pictures until you find one that looks like radiant health to you. Cut out that picture, find a picture of you and tape your face on the picture. Post the picture where you will see it every day. By holding that picture of radiant health in your mind, you will soon grow into it. Soon is a relative term, if you are very unhealthy right now, it may take a year of effort to get to radiant health, and if you are just a bit out of shape it may take only a few weeks or months. Know this, if you hold the picture of radiant health in your mind every day, you will certainly attain it.
By holding the mental picture of radiant health in your mind you command the subconscious to build your body healthy. Your subconscious will take the command and transmit it to your cells and also guide you guide you in thought and action so that good health will be a reality. Understand that good health is your rightful heritage. Along with your other objectives, hold pictures of your physical being as glowing with radiant health. Know with a certainty that your subconscious will encourage your mind and will guide you in thought and action so that you will do the things necessary for good health. You will naturally tend to both diet and physical exercise, and this will have the effect of giving you buoyancy and vitality to carry through on all the other the objectives you are visualizing.
As an example most people, as they approach the seventy year mark, develop an age consciousness. They feel they are too old to start this, or to do that. It seems that we are taught that the normal lifespan is about seventy years, the question is “Why only seventy years?” We see on the news every day of people celebrating a hundred years, the president sends out centurial certificates every day, if they can live to be over a hundred so can you. Determine your own life span, set it for what you feel in fair, and then don’t worry about growing old.
I personally have set my life span for 200 years, and I am living accordingly. Now I feel better, physically and mentally, than I have at any time in my life. Perhaps I may not live to be 200, but I will not shorten my life through fear of old age and death. I personally intend to keep busy, and happy, until the grim reaper comes. When the grim reaper does come for me I intend to wrestle my way out of that situation, not hide and beg, and if the reaper wins it was a fair fight, if I win I might live forever.
So to get back on subject; what you have just learned in this discussion is not for temporary use. What you have discovered and learned is a new principle of life. Something to be used every day for the rest of your life, if you draw breath, then you continue to use the mental picture of radiant health to keep yourself healthy. Again; you have gained some new tools which will make your achievement assured and certain of accomplishment.
There is an old saying; “Knowing is half the battle” and it is. What most do not realize is that action is the other half. Knowledge is of no value unless you make use of it. Make use of this knowledge now, start developing the ability to create mental pictures of what you want and avoid the fear that you'll fail to achieve them. With this knowledge, and a little practice you can be and do anything you will.
Mastering this technique will be like being the heir to a tremendous warehouse that has everything you have ever desired, with the knowledge that all of it is yours; merely for the taking.

How to Think Correctly
Once you realize that thoughts are Pictures; then you can accept that theses pictures are patterns. Let us use the example of the word “House.” When you hear the word house, what do you see in your mind? Do you see the letters that spell house? No; you see a picture of a house, and this is the meaning to you of that word. Are you beginning to understand that you think in pictures? The mind does not think in words, it “thinks” in pictures. When you are reading you are continually translating the words into pictures; you see what you read as patterns.
Now of course not all words can be changed into pictures, for those words we associate it to a situation: for example the word love, when we think of a word which does not lend itself to a picture, we associate it with a mini movie that reflects our understanding of the word. Back to the word love, most of us are likely to see in the mind the picture of a situation, being hugged by the one you love, or cuddling a baby, or petting your dog, etc. etc. etc.
On a side note when a person has difficulty in understanding what was read, it is usually because of a bad reading habit. The eyes have been following the words, but they have not been changing the words into pictures. For example you can go to a movie which may run for two hours or more. Later you can describe the film in vivid detail. This is because you have been watching the story in pictures. So think when you read and try to see the picture, the pattern that is being presented and you will grow in your understanding at a much faster rate.
Many magazines have thousands of pictures submitted to them every month, the large majority of them they will never use. On the staff of these publications is a picture editor, this person studies these pictures from the standpoint of possible reader interest. If he or she does not think that a picture will appeal to a large segment of the readers, it will not be used. The picture editor is one of the most important people on the staff. The growth of that publications circulation depends upon him or her. So this means you have to learn how to be the picture editor of your own publication; your own life.
Since thoughts are pictures, the mental pictures you have will be either negative or positive, depending upon your understanding and translation. We will not go into the discussion that what some view as good others view as bad, just realize that it is your interpretation that we are focusing on. Now you should very well know that negative thoughts cause negative reactions; while positive thoughts cause positive reactions. So since thoughts are pictures, does it not behoove you to appoint yourself as a picture editor to evaluate the mental pictures entering your mind? Discard the negative thoughts, and publish the positive ones.
Again let us cover a basic tenant; you understand that the subconscious accepts thoughts of the conscious mind as instructions; therefore it works diligently to reproduce in our beings or affairs whatever we hold in our thoughts. With this information we can now enlarge upon that axiom by adding that the pictures held in the conscious mind will be accepted as patterns by the subconscious. An example is in order here. Have you ever seen one of those player pianos? They have a wide roll of paper filled with small holes and slots that pass over a tracker board, each opening representing a note on the piano. No matter how many times you played a certain music roll, you always got the same tune. So it is with you, if you put in the roll with the song "White Christmas" you will not get the piano to play "Yankee Doodle." To change the tune you have to change the pattern that the piano plays, this translates to you in that to change your tune is to change your life, and to do that you must change the pattern of your program.
This corresponds to mental pictures, they are just as infallible. You cannot hold a picture of failure in your mind and expect it to guide you to success. You can however hold a picture in your mind of success and you will soon experience the picture, the pattern, which you hold clearly in your mind. You have heard people say things about focusing your thoughts, but they have never explained how. So now you are discovering the secret of this great concept. Your focused thought is the picture you keep looking at over and over. It may be a mini movie, or a pattern, everyone’s interpretation is a little different, the point is that as long as you keep recalling that picture, continue to replay that movie, to redraw the same pattern, you are focusing your thoughts.
You can see the benefit of becoming your own mental picture editor. If a negative picture attempts to enter your mind dismiss it, mentally return it to sender or see yourself throwing it in a trash can, see the word “CANCEL” stamped on it. Then immediately replace it with a positive one. At first this may take some effort on your part to do this, as in all things, a little practice and it gets easier, and a little more practice and it becomes second nature.
A phenomenon is a known fact; our description of it is a theory. For example if you hit your fist against the top of your table, a sound will register in your ear. That is a phenomenon. The attempt to explain what happened from the moment the fist made contact with the table until the sound reached your ear; that would be theory. In talking about your mental pictures, I am trying to explain a phenomena, my explanation is the theory.
In a television studio, the cameras are of no use unless there is power to project the image to televisions across the country. In order to project a mental picture, power must also be applied; that power is called enthusiasm. When you have a success picture, and that picture is powered up by enthusiasm, it will be received and acted upon thereby causing your success. In the absence of enthusiasm other emotions will be used for power, literally; the show must go on. Other emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, and so on, are poor substitutes, and as such will cause poor results. So in theory you must change your mental picture, and this will cause the phenomena of your success.
There is a passage in the bible which fits in very well with the subject matter: It will be found in Mark 11:24; "Therefore I say unto you, What things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." This statement, for many, is hard to understand. What this statement really means is that you should hold mental pictures of yourself enjoying the use of that which you desire. Studying the statement even further, you will find that it does not mean that by visualizing what you desire, that it will come to you instantaneously. The word "shall" signifies that the result of your desire will come, but at a later time, depending on the magnitude of your desire. So what you but need do, is form mental pictures of yourself using and enjoying that which you desire; believe the picture to be true, and you will be guided in thought and action which will make your picture a reality.
Once again it must be emphasized: The principles relating to mental pictures apply equally to negative thoughts as to positive thoughts. Many times you may attempt to hold positive pictures, even think you are doing so; yet the effect of them is destroyed by allowing doubt to come creeping in. As an example, say that you have long wished for a trip to Hawaii. You may not have taken it because of lack of money, lack of time, or both. You have allowed doubt to destroy your desire. Take steps to counteract the doubt; visit a travel agency and ask for brochures describing and illustrating tours to Hawaii. After you have decided which one you like best, begin seeing yourself taking that trip. Do not wish for it, but see it as a reality. As you look at the pictures visualize yourself enjoying Hawaii, relishing the freshly picked fruit, relaxing on the beach, surfing the famous waves, and so forth. Make the mental picture so vivid that, for the time being, you are actually there. While doing this, be careful not to allow any negative elements to enter your picture; not even for a moment! Such as a thought like "I can’t afford this" tries to creep in, chase it out. It will offset the good already built up through your effort. Because of your implementation, the Hawaiian vacation is about to become a reality, absolutely no doubt about it. You are visualizing the experiences you are soon to enjoy.
Make it a point to practice viewing your pictures every evening; relax and then turn on your mental pictures. Again let me warn you: do not see the pictures as wishes; see them as realities. So what will happen? Your subconscious will begin guiding you in thought and action so that ways and means will be opened up to make your mental pictures become a reality. Soon you will find yourself on the plane headed for the glamorous islands.
It is really that simple to make your life the one you desire, you will it into existence by picturing what it is you desire to happen, and it “comes to pass” and the next thing you realize is that this theory is a phenomena that you now master.
Be Blessed.

The Secret of Mind over Matter
Now in this discussion we will consider only the influence of your mind over matter, in the sense that you control matter through your mental direction. Let us state that the formula is as follows: You get an idea for something you desire to make; so you go out and gather the materials you need, and with a bit of effort proceed to produce the thing which you pictured in your mind. Depending on your level of effort and earnestness you soon have a replica of the object you desired. An easy example is book shelves. People build their own book shelves by following a simple pattern and plan, and this achievement is a simple manifestation of the phenomena of mind over matter.
The second part of this formula is similar to the first part except it is about controlling events. You conceive of an idea that will benefit many others. You work out the details and then tell a lot of other people about it. Then with a continuing effort your thought soon becomes a reality. For example you desire to open a shelter for the homeless. You work out that you need a large building, cots, linen, lockers, and so on. You begin by telling your friends, then your neighbors and eventually you are talking to the people who have the connections to help you get the building and supplies you need. With less than a year’s effort your idea becomes reality and you open your shelter. Good ideas are better than money, because with good ideas it is not difficult to obtain money.
It has been discussed that you are a soul with a body, that your mind is who you are. In other words, the person you are that others like or dislike is not what they see, but what you project from your mind. Your stature, therefore, is not measured in feet and inches, but by accomplishment. To quote Napoleon Hill: "What the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve."
Most people think it unwise to attempt to jump from a mediocre existence to the level of a rich capitalist in one leap. It can be done; it has been done; and it will be done many times in the future. Unfortunately, with the average person, the distance from obscurity to fame and riches is so great it is hard to conceive and believe that it can be done.
The universe is always expanding, and you were meant to function this way too. For example if you have a fine top of the line car, your interest will be kept alive as long as you secure new destinations, routes to drive, and things to do with the car. As soon as you stop, your interest wanes and the time will come when you will be bored with the car and start looking for a new one. When you think of a good idea, do not become impatient, and try to rush it through to completion, the only impatience should be in getting started, and once started you can happily enjoy the progress and joyfully survey each completed step. Having this attitude prevents tasks from becoming boring. Your mind is not focused on completion, but only on perfection of each task along the way.
There is an old proverb that says something along the lines of anticipation is greater than realization; it is very true but seldom understood. Think about this for a minute; when a person knows they are on their way to attain a certain objective, like yourself, you are elated. Life is good and everything seems to work wonderfully. When you reach you goal and are happy at your accomplishment, but then what happens is that you stop achieving, and your accomplishment is soon taken for granted and eventually ceases to be a cause of happiness. Success is a journey, not a destination.
Now we must digress for but a moment, do not confuse your mind with your brain. Your brain is not your mind; the brain is that internal organ that acts as a processing station for thoughts and the translation of outer stimulus (like smell, hearing, etc.) for the mind. Your mind is capable of conceiving ideas just as good as the mind of the greatest people on this earth. If your mind is not bringing in good, constructive ideas, it is because of your poor mental habits. Yes we must say it again it is you who has thwarted your mind by holding thoughts of inadequacy, lack, gloom, bad health, and irresponsible behavior. You will always live a commonplace existence until you reeducate your conscious mind to hold positive, constructive thoughts.
Now back to the subject, your idea can be turned into reality with only a little concentrated thought and effort. The key here is once you have accomplished your first goal, you must conceive another. To stop being creative is to stop living and being happy. You must continue your expansion, your growth, your adventure. This is something that so few understand, that to be happy, you have to be doing something. Accomplishing something is what makes the world go ‘round; people doing things to make things happen. If the farmer did not plant seeds, you would not be eating bread. Nothing happens until somebody does something, and that somebody is you.
If you have a task to perform and feel that it is too much for you, and you can't do it, change your thinking. Know that the job is made for you, that you are fully capable of doing it. You can not accomplish it all at once, just one step at a time. You can not drive a car on the freeway without first having started the car, backed out of your drive, and so on until you are on the freeway. You will find that you will tackle the job with a spirit of success and that you can easily do it, if you do it one step at a time.
Life would be boring if we did not have daily challenges, so the universe provides them as incentive to live. If you do not challenge your self, something else will come up, and it usually won’t be to your liking. Again quoting Napoleon Hill: “It is not our problems which disturb us; it is our lack of faith in our ability to solve them." There is no challenge that we can not meet, all it takes is a little thought, and some effort, and soon you can be and do anything you will to.

As You Will
So what are we talking about today? Let us cover some of our former conversations. When one has a positive attitude one begins to enjoy what you are doing. When you know you can do something you just do it, you do not have to try. Furthermore when you realize that you are a mind with a body, and that what you think is what you cause, then you can be and do anything you will to be and do.
So today we are going to discuss why it is actually harder work to be a failure than it is to be a success. When you are firm in your mind what your goal is, what the desired result is, then you approach your problems with a firmness and determination that is evident to all around you. Those to whom you talk to about your plans and actions are impressed by your spirit and want to assist you as they catch a piece of the enthusiasm you have for your life.
With this yet another question comes to mind: Is there anything you can't do? The answer is a firm and solid No! When you change your mind you change your life. Just begin seeing yourself as you want to be, and so you can be as you will. If someone has done something before you and you desire to do the same, and then simply emulate them and your path will be easy. Just do the same, and the change which will take place in their life will happen in your life, and will be just as spectacular as the change which took place in their life.
Now of course you must realize that to change your consciousness is not as easy as going to a movie instead of staying at home. A slightly different process is required. Many people feel they are destined to go through life working hard, doing without, and making sacrifices. To them it seems a like a preposterous miracle that their salvation is so near at hand and that it is simple to get what they want in life. They may hope for a better life, and wish they could have them, but they do not permit the thought to seep into their consciousness that abundance is within easy reach.
Have you ever wondered why some people could have everything, while so many others go through life with just the minimum of necessities? Be happy with the blessings you have, but agree to be discontent to remain happy with them, since you have the right to add to them as you feel is fit.
Let us cover one of the main shackles that bind people without them knowing. That is the sinister emotion of Envy. Envy is a restraining force; to envy indicates a lack of confidence in one's ability to acquire what one envies; therefore it prevents the development of initiative to obtain what is envied.
As has been covered earlier that most people lean toward the negative side, and that this probably includes you. What you must believe, is that even with negative people, there is more inborn positivity than there is negativity, they just do not use it. The reason is people allow their positive self to become obscured by negative thoughts. If you are not enjoying your life and all that you hope for, it is because you are allowing the negative side of you to take over and run your life. A simple change of mind will change your life.
The solution is simple: Train yourself to be positive. To do that required but a little mental discipline; Every time you find yourself holding a negative thought, chase it out with a positive one. Of course this will take a little while to bring forth results, but rest assured that as you change they will be forthcoming. If you plant a seed, it will be several days or weeks before anything shows above the surface. When you first begin holding positive thoughts, and letting go of negative thoughts you may not see anything happening at first, but with persistence, you will soon find your positive "entity" taking over and life will present an entirely new meaning to you. It may take a while like stopping a train and then getting it going in the opposite direction take a fair amount of time, but with effort it is accomplished.
So then comes the question: How can you be positive when everyone around you is negative? Look at it this way; if you were at the airport and had a free ticket to one of two destinations, one would take you to a barren wasteland, and the other to a delightful lush paradise, which ticket would you select? The answer is obvious, and so is your choice of being either negative or positive.
Which one you choose is your choice not the people around you.
Positive thinking has been so well established that it cannot be denied by any coherent individual. It is no longer a theory but a fact. And, best of all, it is a fact very easy to prove. There are still those who will proclaim: "I tried it and it doesn't work." If you question these doubtful people, you will consistently find that they did not try positive thinking at all, instead they merely wished for success and happiness, and then because they did not get the results immediately; they decided that mind has no influence over matter.
So let us bring this conversation to a close by making the statement that every day everyone is making use of the principle of mind over matter, whether they are benefiting from it or not. The ones who keep themselves miserable through failure, poor health and gloom are definitely being influenced by mind over matter. Similarly the person who has health, wealth and happiness, are also being influenced by mind over matter. The only difference is that one chooses to use mind over matter and the other does not.
Hopefully you are beginning to pierce through the fog and get a glimpse of the new life that can and will be yours if you only decide to make up your mind and will it to be so.

How To use The Law of Success
So, we start with a most excellent saying that I have printed on a poster in my house, a quote from Napoleon Hill;
“You may not like the work in which you are now engaged…
There are two ways of getting out of that work. One way is to take but little interest in what you are doing, aiming merely to do enough with which to "get by." Very soon you will find a way out, because the demand for your services will cease.
The other and better way is by making yourself so useful and efficient in what you are now doing that you will attract the favorable attention of those who have the power to promote you into more responsible work that is more to your liking.
It is your privilege to take your choice as to which way you will proceed.”
So what does this mean? In short it means to be able to use the Law of Success, you have to try! You have to exert effort; you have to put forth your intention and your ability to do more than the other person. You have to be willing to do the work that others will not do, to go the extra inch is all it takes, and if you can go the extra mile all the better.
You are reminded of the importance of this, through which you may avail yourself of this "better way" of promoting yourself. The extra things you do will make you stand out, be recognized and then bring on a series of events that will lift you to the levels of success that you desire. This success will not drop into your lap, nor will it be handed to you. You will have to work for it.
Discovery of your success is but a matter of investigation and the use of your imagination. What you are looking for is almost under your nose right now. With this information you may well be pleasantly surprised when you discover that you were standing right over this hidden success, in the work in which you are now engaged.
Success is simply a matter of adjusting your self to the ever changing environments of life, while maintaining dignity, harmony and poise. Harmony is based upon understanding of the forces constituting one's environment. It is therefore, to interpret, understand and make the most of these environmental forces of life.
The successful people on earth have all had to correct certain character flaws before they began to succeed. The most common flaws that stand between people and success are intolerance, avarice, greed, jealousy, miserliness, revenge, egotism, selfishness, conceit, vanity, hatred and the poor habit of spending more money than they earn.
Modify yourself so that you do not display these traits and you will thrive, you will enjoy success. However you must recognize now, rather than later, that you are the one responsible for you, and it is only you that must make the effort. Nobody else, no one else, can take action for you and you enjoy the rewards.
Let us use an example; you probably have a favorite store, probably because they are more pleasing and more attractive to you. In any other part of the city in many other stores you could purchase merchandise of similar nature and price, yet you will find there is always one outstanding store which does more business than any of the others. The reason for this is that in back of that store is a man, or woman who has attended to the personalities of those who come in contact with the public. People buy personalities as much as the merchandise, and the store is successful as the customers are influenced more by the personalities that they come in contact with than they are by the merchandise.
Your business in life, or at least the most important part of it, is to achieve success. Success; your purpose in life is the attainment of your dreams without violating the rights of other people. Regardless of what your definition of success in life may be, you will attain it with much less difficulty after you learn how to cultivate a pleasing personality.
There are but two more points to cover, the first you have probably heard many times but have failed to heed the advice; "You Can Do It if You Believe You Can!" As we have covered before your beliefs influence your actions, and your actions determine your quality of life. It may seem overly simple but you must change your beliefs to change your life. You do deserve a good life, but it will not come on a silver platter delivered to your doorstep, you will have to go out and find it for yourself and with a bit of effort bring it home with you.
The last point for today is the never ceasing concept of having a dream. Without a dream, a goal, you have nothing to aim for, no direction to move in. Like having a plane ticket with no destination you do not know what plane to get on to start the journey. Decide today what your dream is, write it down so you do not forget, and begin your journey to success. With a dream to move you and some personal effort you can have and be anything you desire.
Be Blessed
