It is amazing how topics come to me now that I am concentrating on putting posts every couple of days or so. Since I am not a so called "expert" I don't mind that I laps from time to time. But I want to share with you some thing that I hope will help you as well. At the very least it will make you aware of it, and that is the main point of my blog; to help you get out of attracting by default.
So, I was dealing with some people who happen to be either late with their payment, or trying to keep on pushing back the deadlines we agreed on with a contract. Now I am a nice guy, but there comes a time where I get a bit tiered of what I envisioned as being "taken advantage of". I must also admit that I owe this realization to my wife and I am so happy and grateful that she is here to catch me when I slip and remind me of how this Law of Attraction works. So my responses to this individual started to become more and more curt and I was about to get down right hostile. Thankfully I had some other business matters that took me out of town and it allowed me time to cool down and talk with my wife over the phone because anger is a very powerful emotion that will energize the law of attraction to our detriment.
We both realized that even though I have been preaching the fact that success through the law of attraction is an individual thing, and that we all have to take responsibility for what we are bringing into our reality I was not following my own advice. I was literally concentrating on more and more conflict as my emotions started to get control of me. The more I got upset the more my thoughts were on what is wrong and not what is right.
I suddenly realized that I wanted to change the person I was dealing with instead of creating my own reality. That is a major No, No.
The Law of Attraction does not work on other people. No matter how bad you want it to there is no way that you know what is best for some one else. It a universal certainty that we can ONLY CREATE OUR OWN REALITY.
So I am stopping and taking a deep breath. I am going to go through a few rounds of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). When I am calm I will be nice and visualize what I want the end result to be and then will contact the person I am dealing with and trust that what ever is happening will be to both of our best interests. This is not a Pollyanna, happy go lucky frame of mind. It is taking control of my own reality the way I want it. A few years ago if I was reading this blog I would have laughed and said "yeah right". If that is the impression you are getting, it is fine because I can not make other people's reality. The comforting thought is that this stuff works for me. Every thing that has happened in my life many of which I have shared in my e-book "How to succeed after High School" I have made work using theses principles so I know they work for me. But I had to be ready to receive the information when it came to me. If this makes sense to you then you are ready. If it does not, it is OK. It is a start to getting you thinking, and more and more of this information will come to you and my hope is that you will also be able to gain some benefit from this even if it is a nice smile or laughter as you read this page.

GIVE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE
Good day,
Today I wanted to share with you a simple principle that helps you get what ever you want and it is so simple that it escaped me until very recently. When I was just graduating from school and taking any job to pay the rent and living with too little money at the end of the month, I remember telling myself "I will give to charity and causes when I am rich". I would say this with a complete and pure joy in my heart really wanting to help but THINKING that I have to wait to HAVE before I could give.
A few years back I read some where, I believe in was in a book called As a Man Thinketh, that you get what you put into it. At first it was a bit confusing but when the author put the concept in terms of working out it made perfect sense. You don't see people going into the gym and saying "I am in the gym I think I will try to bench press my car's weight". You have to give in order to receive. You have to put the effort into working out and by giving force against resistance you built the strength that allows you get stronger and give more force against bigger and bigger resistance and if you do it long enough you may actually be able to bench press your cars weight if that is what you want. But without giving you will never get stronger. You can stay and look at the weights until the cows come home but nothing will happen.
So Success in any thing also follows this principle. You have to GIVE of what you want. This principle follow the principle of GRATITUDE. If you desire money give money away. It does not have to be exorbitant amounts. Give what you can. I started by giving away the change in my pocket. There is a eastern saying "give and it will come back to you a thousand fold". Well it truly is the case.
If you want love, give it and it will come to you. It you want help to succeed, give help to those who need your wisdom and it will come to you.
Remember the movie "Pay it Forward". Lets try to built a world like that.

AMAZING THING HAPPENED
Good day all,
I wanted to share with you an amazing thing that even surprised me a few days back. From time to time I want to prove to myself that this Law of Attraction thing works. Not really a test but just to re-affirm in my own mind that this is working and keep my belief strong.
On a Tuesday when I was flying out to go and visit some customers it occurred to me to try to manifest a set amount of money, because I had had a comment on my blog on how exactly the law of attraction worked in regards to success.
So since I was sitting in the plane I did not go through the 6 steps outlined in my e-book on setting goals, I just took a few deep breaths and concentrated on the exact amount of money I wanted by that Friday. I saw the amount of money in my bank account. I felt the exhilaration of actually having it NOW. I felt the joy that this keeps on working over and over. Then I let it go and went about my business.
By Friday morning nothing had happened. I was starting to get a bit nervous. All kinds of justifications started coming into my head.
I immediately recognized them for what they were. Due to the fact that I am aware of how the Law of Attraction works I refused to be affected by default. So I sat down and went through a few rounds of Emotional Freedom Technique as illustrated in the EFT manual that is a free bonus with my e-book.
After a few rounds of doing the emotional freedom technique I felt much better and went about my day. At around 10:00pm I had this really strong worrisome thought.
I suddenly realized that a month before when my tenants left, I had sent their deposit check back but in the amount that was 2 times their security deposit. I had sent their 1st month rent back as well. It was out of the blue. I could not believe I had done that. I went to my paperwork and did the calculations again and looked at the receipt of the check I had sent them and sure enough I had double paid them.
I immediately contact them and asked for the amount back.
That amount was a little bit MORE than what I had visualized receiving. At first I was saying well does that count? My wife happened to remind me that here it is. You asked for it and it came. She is right. By all means I had completely forgotten about the mistake so I gave thanks and was amazed how nicely the LOA protects me as well.
Once again it is proven to me that this stuff works. It works every time as long as it is in my best interest and I am not violating anyone rights.

STEP BY STEP USE OF LOA AND SUCCESS DEFINED
Good day. I have had some questions about what I mean by success and how to use the Law of Attraction to achieve success. So I wanted to put a short post to address both of those comments.
When I talk about success, I mean accomplishment of a set specific goal. That goal can be as vague as having a generally good day, or as specific as I want to have $100 by the end of the day. I used the example of getting a parking space in a crowded mall in previous postings. So that in itself indicates that we need to have specific goals in our lives. How specific? Let me try to answer that with a question that I think will clarify it.
Let say you are a parent of a child that wants a toy car. You run to the store and get a red car. When you get home he tells you he wanted a blue car. You run out to the store again and get a blue car. When you get back home he tells you he wanted a blue BMW. You run back and get a blue BMW, 4 door. When you get back he tells you he wanted a 2 door. Do you see the waste of energy in this process? Law of Attraction is also the same way. If you are general your manifestation will not take form because the universe waits until you know what you want before it comes into physical form. There is no scarcity in any thing the universe does. Every thing is done with ease. You don't see trees with only one branch or flowers with only one leaf. So it when you are not clear on what you want nothing will manifest. This is efficiency of the universe as well as a protective mechanism for you.
So lets say you get clear on what you want. The next step is to concentrate and visualize exactly what you want. Again I point out here you want to concentrate on what you WANT and not what you want to avoid. The Law of Attraction does not recognize words of negation like "don't, or not". So if you are concentrating on "not being late" the LOA sees you concentrating being late.
Visualize what you want in all its clarity. Use as many of your senses as you can and see yourself in the present actually having what you want and achieving the goal you wanted. Feel the feelings and have the gratitude of accomplishing the task and then let the universe bring to you opportunities to take ACTION on to reach your goal.
That's it. Simple in concept but takes some practice. I have detailed instruction in my e-book on how to set the goals and achieve them. It works, and it works all the time.
Hope this helps.

USING THE LAW OF ATTRACTON (Continued)
Ok, good day,
By now you should be grasping the idea of what the Law of Attraction is, and step by step start using it. If you have not tried using it yet I urge you to try with some thing small. As I mentioned I tried to test the theory by visualizing a parking spot at the mall. You want to get into the feeling of having the exact parking spot you want next to the store you want to go to. See the day, and feel the nice sun on your face. See the back of your hand as you are driving your car and see the empty spot. Feel how you have butterflies in you stomach as you feel the great joy of getting the spot. See yourself pulling into the space and hear yourself saying "thank you" for the parking spot.
The LOA works great with setting goals. As far as goal setting goes I have tried many different techniques. The most important is to actually write down your goals. There are many books that tell you how to do them and my favorite all time book on the subject is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. The book was written almost half a century ago but the principals in it hold true to day as they did then.
If you want to know how I used and had success with that book and many others in setting and achieving my own goals and utilizing the law of attraction, you can order my e-book "How to Succeed After High School; A Real World Lesson" for $1.99 and learn exactly what I have done over the past 3 years and I share many of the mistakes I have made over the 12 years after graduating from UCLA. The link is on top of the page.

You should definitely invest in a library card if you Don not have one. Many of the books I mention in this blog and in my e-book are FREE in the library. I do believe that some if not all of them should be in your personal library because every time I re-read any of these book I learn some thing new.
Good luck and as always please click on the Comment link bellow and let me know what you think.

How to Super Charge your manifestation
Good day,
so in the last post we started to use the LOA to manifest. One of the greatest way to supercharge your visualization and the process of manifestation is GRATITUDE. Bob Proctor mentions this in almost every thing that I have read or listen to.
I am reading a book called Beyond Positive Thinking by Dr. Robert Anthony right now. He notes that we mistakenly live by continuously solving problems. Man did that hit home with me. He says that the process should be and I quote "BEING--DOING--HAVING" not the other way around. Some where from the time we start to grow out of imagining we get into the mind said that we have to DO, THEN HAVE, THEN BE HAPPY.
The big part of LOA is that you have to be grateful for what you have right now in this moment. If you understood the last post it should click for you right now and there should be an "A HA " moment. Is it there?
If not don't worry. It took me a while to get it as well.
When you are grateful for what you have, what are you concentrating on?
Remember what ever we concentrate on with emotions we create in our lives. So you are concentrating on being grateful. So the Law of Attraction will bring you more of what you can be grateful about. That may be success, new things, people we love, opportunities. Do you see where this all goes.

USING THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
Good day, I hope you are having an awesome day. I want to pick up on the last post and go more into how to use the LOA to get what you want. In my second post I mentioned you have to get into the feeling of having it now. That is the hardest and most important part of the law of attraction. To create what you want you have to start by thinking of what you want. You have to be specific. You have to visualize in the present moment and you have to visualize what you DO WANT.
Let me emphasize that you have to visualize what you want. So if you want to concentrate on getting a cup of coffee for example, you can not have a goal of "I don't want to be thirsty". If you want to be wealthy you can not set a goal and visualization that "I don't want to have debt". Take a look at those 2 statements and see if you can see what you are concentrating on?
You are concentrating on THIRST, and DEBT. The source does not recognize words of negation. If you say "I don't want to be late" you are concentrating on being late. So when you are visualizing a cup of coffee concentrate on how that hot cup of coffee feels in your hand right now. Can you smell it. Can you see the steam coming off the cup? One of the suggestions that is given in The Secret about visualizing is that make it dynamic and full of motions. It is easier to visualize when you have things moving. Do not look at yourself as a third person. See it through your eyes. Look at the back of your hand and imagine it holding the cup of coffee.
You also want to use as many of your senses as you can.

The MIND MOVIE team has a great interview with John Assaraf who explains this beautifully, and I don't get a single cent from recommending them so you know it is good stuff. Take a look.
