RAIN DANCE

Good day and I hope you are having a great week. We just celebrated Christmas in the West. It is a time of joy and celebration and it also signals yet another year ending soon.  I hope this year had been filled with joy and success for you and your family. Today I want to discuss the power of appreciating what you want to have so you can get your 2014 started on the right foot.

Throughout history there are numerous examples of masses of people appreciating what they had and continue to have in advance to increase prosperity and wellness in their lands and their lives. The Egyptians celebrated the flooding of the Nile for centuries to ensure the continuous flow of the river that enables them to harvest and make a living.  American Indians,  as well as Australian Aborigines  performed rain dances to ask for rain that helped them enjoy a fruitful harvest. African Tribes perform  pre-hunt ceremonies to ensure a successful hunt. You may dismiss these as superstitious practices, but are they without merit? I argue not so .

When you go about to toast your bread for breakfast you do not worry about how the electricity from your wall socket is converting the heating elements inside the toaster to heat, which toasts your bread do you? You just trust that when you put your bread in the toaster and push down the lever your bread will be toasted.  The same is true with other universal laws like gravity, and of course The Law of Attraction.  Appreciating what you want in advance of having it is an extremely powerful use of The Law of Attraction (LOA).  For one thing it generates and releases positive energy from you. For another thing it signals belief that you are ready to accept what you want. The HOW is not your problem.

So this year, celebrate what you want to have. Make a huge deal about it. Party, dance, sing, shout, do it alone if you feel embarrassed or shy. Do it with the people who you love and can understand your enthusiasm.  Do a “perfect weight- dance”.  Do a “promotion at work-dance”.  Do a “money from all over the place-Dance”. Notice that I did not say “lose weight” or “get out of debt”.  Universe does not understand words of negation.   Get into the feeling of excitement and gratitude and happiness. The most important thing is your feeling. Remember this theme is repeated many times in my posts.  I cannot emphasize this enough.  It is not the words you say. It is the feeling you get. You have to feel good about what you want in order to have it.  Saying I have lots of money while feeling like this is B.S. only gets you more debt.  Celebrate what you have right now. Enjoy the fact that you have time off.  Enjoy the fact that you can sit and read this blog post without having to slave in a cave somewhere for a war lord. Give thanks that you are healthy no matter what your health is like right now.  Celebrate your life as you are the most magnificent being on this world. BECAUSE YOU ARE. 

May this coming year bring you everything you ask for. May you be healthy, wealthy, happy and at peace.  I hope you enjoyed this post. As always put a comment on my FacebookPage and Twitter. Share this with anyone who can benefit from it.

 Happy New year to you and yours and I wish you success in everything you do. With love A.J.

GRANDMA SAID “IT’S MEANT TO BE”

Good day and I hope you are having a great day. Perhaps just like my grandmother, you have someone who believes in the saying “it is meant to be”, or “everything happens for a reason”, or “everything is happening as it should for your best interest”.  There is a significant amount of faith involved with these statements, and again I am not here to preach, but to explore the logic behind this as well as how The Law of Attraction works through such things.  

So let’s delve right in.  When you are subscribing to such statements, you are essentially indicating that you believe the Source will take care of you when you follow the path.  That is essentially the second step of using the law. If you recall, you ask, then you believe, the how is not your job. You are believing that as you take your actions to the presented opportunities, no matter what, you are going to be lead to the right path and the results are to your best interest even though they may not at first seem to be the results you are looking for.

You will also notice as I have many times in my life, that when you try to fight the force, and essentially trying to dictate the “how”, you are limiting yourself and also bringing distrust into the equation. You cannot know all the parts to the equation. There are greater forces at play. Distrust is not a good way to start no matter if you believe in faith or are a believer of quantum mechanics.  The bright side of listening to grandma is that it is less stressful as well.  What can you do when fecal matter hits the oscillating percolator anyway by feeling let down or upset? You are messing your own vibration and when you let your emotions take a nose dive what are you now attracting more of to yourself? Can you see the beauty of it. You can bitch and moan and attract more crap to you, or you can say it is meant to be and move on to the next action that will get you what you want. Keep the vibration high, and the feelings good, and you will be presented with the opportunities to feel  more of the same .  

It is a simple concept to grasp, especially when you understand how The Law of Attraction works, but by no means is this an easy concept to apply.  By nature we don’t like it when things do not go our way and our natural instinct is to feel bad. But you are more than your instinct. You now know that the way you feel will bring more of it to you so as a human being you can control your feelings and this way of thinking  is a great way of diminishing the resistance that is felt when you are faced with challenges.

I hope this makes sense and I hope you enjoyed this short post. As always please let me know what you think by commenting on my Facebook Page and / or on my Twitter feed. I always love to hear from you even when you do not agree with me. We can all learn. Until next Tuesday, I wish you great success.

JUST ONE MORE STEP

Good day and I hope you are having a great day. There is a fine quality that distinguishes success from failure.  It is very subtle.  Dr. Robert Anthony stated "water is really, really hot at 211 degrees Fahrenheit, but it boils at 212 degrees and turns into steam.  Steam, can power a locomotive. Just  one degree is the difference". Napoleon Hill said "success is a trickster...it takes delight in tripping one, when one is just one step short of the goal".  

How many times have you been so close to something and became overwhelmed by the enormity of the whole project only to laugh at it when it was done? I was told by a mentor of mine that 95% of the things we worry about will never materialize.   Unfortunately sometimes many people just give up so close to the finish line.  You have heard me say this many times and it is a core part of the using the Law of Attraction. It is very important  that your "WHY" is strong enough to pull you through when things get tough.  It easier to be persistent when you have a strong "why".  What I hear most of  the time is that "I am just doing this because I have to". There will be times when you are doing things for some ones else or as a part of your "job," or as part of something that has little importance personally.  At times like that is important to remember as Jack Canfield says "how you do anything, is how you do everything". It is a difficult thing to develop into a habit, but you will really benefit from doing your best not for other people's approval but for the great feeling you get from the accomplishment. You can develop the habit of doing just what you need to get by, or doing the best you can. It will determine the degree of success that awaits you.  Developing this habit will serve you well and will bring you success. Excellence is rewarded very quickly. 

It may be a cliche but "good work is its own reward" has truth in it. From the stand point  of The Law of Attraction, you can see this. When you are giving your best to any task you will attract opportunities to give your best. If you can enjoy even the mundane things and do it well, you will be presented with more opportunities to enjoy doing your best. Napoleon Hill stated that success will test you to see if  you are ready. Law of Attraction puts it more gently. When you come into vibration with what you want it will materialize for you.  Blame it on the same blessing that allows you to control your destiny; your thoughts are things.  See, the fact that you have over 60,000 thoughts per day is the reason for the need to keep on going.  When you start using visualization, it is rare that you know what you want right off the bat. You may think you do, but give it time. You will see a different color, model etc. and you  will change your mind.  The stepwise progress clarifies what you want in your mind so then you can manifest it exactly as you really want it in your reality. How cools is that? You don't have to take  it back to the store for an exchange. 

I hope by now you can see that giving up is really the worst thing you can do. Realize that things are unfolding exactly as they should, and you are getting closer  and closer to what you want.  Don't quit just before all your hard work pays off. You are almost there and when you get there a few more time you will start to believe and have confidence. You will get better at visualizing  and fine tuning what you want quicker and you will start to manifest more quickly as well.  It is a learned skill and you are well on your way to perfecting it.  

I hope you enjoyed this post.  I would love to hear your comments on  my  Facebook page or Twitter feed. Please feel free to share this with anyone who may benefit from it. Until next Tuesday, to your success. 

LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR… ALLOT!

Good day and I hope you are having a great day. Today I am going to give you something that will make your look good. It is something so simple that you will in all likelihood take for granted. Many of you will feel awkward doing it. Some will actually fear or even hate doing this. If you fall in the latter category I urge you to do it anyway. You are the ones that need this the most. Either way I can only provide you the tools. I cannot want it for you. I cannot make you do it. It is FREE and takes very little effort. What do you have to lose?


What do bodybuilders, models, good looking people, healthy people have in common? What action they love to do allot? Well there are tons of stuff but what I am getting at is the fact they like to look at themselves. They look at themselves in the mirror, take pictures of themselves, look at themselves in the magazines etc. They love and appreciate every part of themselves. I am proposing that is a very big part of why they look so good as opposed to the other way around. It is not they look good so they look at themselves, it is they look at themselves lovingly so hence they look good. Take a read of the blog on BE, DO, HAVE. Stick with me because if you have followed me along this blog, you will know that I will link this to the law of attraction and science.

We have all heard of the experiment where ultra-fine photographs of ice were taken under the circumstances of harmony and anger and resulted in very different lattice structures when viewed under microscope. Well in recent times I have heard conflicting reports on the validity of that experiment. It really does not make a difference. As you know the law of attraction states, you will attract what you give your attention to. Your cells are living. Your cells are part of you. You are a magnificent being created in the image of the creator and the source. Whether you are religious or not you have agree that your body systems are an amazing combination of well-tuned, and well-engineered machinery to say the least. The totality of this is that your natural state is well being. The natural state of your cells is well being. You just have to let them get there. How do you do that? Glad you asked.

Attention. Well intentioned and loving attention. We all need it and your cells are no different. Every one of your cells knows exactly what to do and when to do it. More importantly each of the cells of your body are in contact with the whole, giving feedback and information to your central nervous system. Just like each one of us needs attention, I am proposing (no I don’t have any scientific proof for it at this time) that each and every one of your cells also wants and needs YOUR loving attention. When you get sick, it is because your cells are not getting the right type of attention, and they are giving you a nudge. Your life is full of stress. You are like a hamster on a wheel going a million miles a minute and you do not take the time to just appreciate yourself or your magnificent body. Stop and spend some time in loving appreciation of your body. But A.J. you say, “I am 40 lbs over weight”. Well are you ready for my answer: “Who gives a rat’s A$$? IF YOU CANNOT APPRECIATE YOURSELF, HOW CAN YOU EXPECT OTHERS TO DO IT FOR YOU?”

I don’t care how “un-attractive” you may THINK you are, you are a magnificent creature with the potential to be magnificent. When you are getting sick, and feel that scratchy feeling in the end of your throat, stop and give attention to the cells of your throat. Give them love, by saying something crazy like “I love you guys. I know you know how to be in perfect health. I am giving you the attention you need, please heal yourself”. Make is crazy. Make it a game. Everyone likes games. BUT I WARN YOU!!! DO NOT BE SARCASTIC. You do not want to piss off your cells.

Look at yourself lovingly in the mirror. Appreciate the beauty that is you. Take your own pictures. Then take actions on what you want. Go and exercise, and keep on looking at yourself. See the progress you are making. Change your eating habits to eat more healthy. Look at yourself in the mirror. Love your tummy. Your fat cells know what they need to do. They will not be hurt by the fact that you want them gone. They know the wellbeing of your whole is more important and they know the exact proportion that they should exist in. But if you look at yourself in the mirror and exclaim with disgust “I’m fat” well you guessed it, you will get what you give your attention to. See I told you I will link this to The Law of Attraction. As you appreciate yourself, if there are feelings of guilt and envy, acknowledge them. Do not push them away. Ask for guidance either out loud or in silence and wait for the answer. “I know I should be so and so pounds, but I am not. What should I do?” will get an answer. Listen to it and take action. This is not a sit on you’re a$$ feel good exercise. If you want results you have to take action on the opportunities and responses that the source is providing for you. If you ignore them, just like when you ignore your cells, they will let you know about it. How do they get your attention? By making you sick. It is not rocket science people. Love yourself, and treat your cells the way you would treat a really special friend. If you want to support your best friend on the brink of dying would you humor them by sitting on the couch when you know they need to go and have a walk around the block? No you would not. You have millions of best friends, that at times you are neglecting. Do not ignore them. Love them. Look at them. Talk to them. See the results.

TIP FROM ANTHONY ROBBINS

Good day and I hope you are having  a great day. If not this post will fix that for sure if you just do what I will tell you to do. OOH man I am so happy and excited to share this with you. It is something so innately obvious that I have not really thought it needed to be said, but I just saw the guru Anthony Robbins mention it and I hope you saw the video I posted on my Facebook page a few days ago about it. If not we will go through it here and explore how it also makes sense from The Law of Attraction stand point.

If you have been reading this blog and are a student of The Law of Attraction you no doubt know about visualization,  goal setting and getting into the feeling of what you want. The question I am often asked is how can I get into the feeling of joy when crap is happening in my life. Let me show you.

Get up and do a few jumping jacks nice and easy. Now pretend your favorite sports team scored and they just won a close game. Can you scream and jump up and down like it is the best moment of your life. Do it now. Do it for just 30 seconds now. Do it please humor me and do it. Really get in to it. Pump your fist up and down. Scream wooo hoooo, yeah… yes, yes yes…

How do you feel. You have just put your physical body in peak state (term used by Anthony Robbins). From The Law of Attraction perspective you are now generating a vibration of joy with all your energy. What you need to do is to say your goals, (The 6^th step of goal setting if you have read my book) while you are getting yourself into a highly charged vibrational state. Notice how you react when watching a competitive event you really feel passionate about. Notice what you do when you are the winner or a team of your choosing is the winner. Take note of what you do, what your posture is, what you scream. You have to do this when you visualize and read out loud what you want. Combining mental energy of your thoughts, with the physical energy of your body will magnify your vibration.

Sure it feels awkward. It may even feel stupid. You don’t want to do it. You feel embarrassed. Well cry me a river. If I told you I would give you $10,000,000  for you to convince me that you are really excited about this goal, so give me your best IMPRESSION of what that is, do you think you could look past the embarrassment? You bet you would. After all when things go wrong most people have no problem making a food out of themselves screaming and yelling, so why can't we do the same for something that actually will help us.  If not, you are in the wrong place. Have a great life.

Well doing this is more valuable than $10 million. You can have whatever you want. It is all part of the process of becoming in tune with the vibration of receiving all the abundance you have been asking for which is waiting for you. If you see me driving on the freeway around the country, most of the time you will see me screaming at the top of my lungs in my rental car and getting pumped up about my goals. That is the best time. All those people around you driving their monotonous trips will likely never see you again so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. In the end it is up to you. I am just proving the tools.

I hope you enjoyed this post and as always I would like to hear how it is working for you or if you have any comments about it. Put it on my Facebook page or on my Twitter feed. Till next week, I wish you much success.

WHY DOES IT TAKE ACTION?

Good day and I hope you are having a  blast this week. Today I am going to tackle the question  “if the source and all this law of  attraction stuff is powerful and precise, why do I have to take action? I mean if I am the only creature that can control my thoughts then I should be rewarded by thinking I want $10 million and get it in the bank the next minute right?” Not quite. Follow me here for a second.

The answer is because the universe wants to make sure you want what you want, and more importantly, you can handle it. When you are asking for $ 10 million, can you handle it? Most likely you will say yes, and I am sure you may think you can. The reality is that with vast amount of wealth comes vast amount of responsibility. If you have a hard time balancing your checkbook or your credit card bills on a $50k salary can you imagine the mess you can get yourself into with ten million dollars?

The action (Inspired action like Dr. Joe Vitale puts it)  or the journey (as Abraham-Hicks teachings explain it), prepares you for the reward,  so you do not blow it, or worse yet hurt yourself or others. Let’s stick with the money example because that seems to be a big hiccup for most people. Doing your passion and visualizing a great wealth starts the sequences of opportunities that will lead you to that end, however if you quit at the first sign of challenges, you are signaling the Source that you are not ready. Challenges get bigger as our wealth grows. Handling the challenges along the way are the training steps for the skill set needed to handle the greater challenges. If your family life is filled with chaos now, you may be saying well A.J. if I had $10 million then I could spend more time with my family. I am here to tell you in 99% of the cases that is not true. You will have more toys, more “suddenly found friends”, more work to increase the chaos within your family.

In a previous post I mentioned if you are not in harmony in every aspect of your life the financial aspect will not magically fix it self. Abraham-Hicks teaches us that our natural state is Joy. Joy does not just come as a result of a big pay check. That is why there is so much emphasis on visualizing the things you want by having the wealth and not just the dollar amount. If you want to have more free time to spend with your family visualize that, and work at the opportunities that present themselves to spend time with your family and enjoy it. Really enjoy it. You are totally sabotaging yourself if you are thinking the millions of dollars will help your family life get better. Remember the “HOW” is not your job, and in essence you are limiting your options when you try to tell the Source that they way to your happiness is having ten million dollars. You are trying  to do the job of the Source. The source is unlimited, your perspective is very limited.

Men specially have a big issue with this when trying to use The Law of Attraction. We are so used to having to come up with the exact solution that we tend to get carried away here. Taking a chill pill here is the key. Writing down why it is you want something like 10 million dollars in details may  and will help you clarify the reasons behind your initial desire. Remember clarity is the key to getting what you want. You may think you know ($10 million) what you want, but in reality you may just want to have extra time to play, exercise, spend time with the kids, etc.  Only concentrate on the final results of what you want. It can even be charity. You may want to give it all away. Again why do you want that charity to have the money? Visualize and focus  on the end result you want for the charity and amazing things will happen.

I hope you enjoyed this post and as always please come to my Facebook page and make a comment on the threat link to this blog and follow me on Twitter. Till next Tuesday to your success.
