Good day all,
I like listening and learning more and more about the Law of Attraction and Success so I am always listening and reading all I can on the subject. Recently I have kept on seeing, listening or reading about the same sort of theme. So I figured I share that with you since it keeps on coming up.
In this blog, in my book, and the books I have recommended there are detailed instruction on how to go about setting goals to attain what you want and get it. The question that was posed that I had to think about for a few days is "do I know what I want?"
In the process of visualizing and feeling the feeling of having the goals I want, I frequently modify and change them because my desires change. Since I am very familiar with how the Law of Attraction works it does not bother me, that this action slows down the manifestation of my desire. I also know that the more I stress over the timing of why my desire has not manifested I send out the negative vibration that counter acts my goal in the form of resistance. Having said all that though many of the masters point out the fact that if we visualize the big picture of the kind of life we want all the other stuff will fall into place.
For example if I want to manifest $1,000,000 will that really satisfy me? Is it enough? If I want a particular model of Porsche will that satisfy my desire? In contrast if I concentrate on being in peace and happy and MORE IMPORTANTLY be grateful about the happiness I enjoy in the present the things that will bring me happiness and peace will the subject of my concentration and hence the vibration I am sending out.
Let me try to put it in an example: I can concentrate on being happy and grateful that all my bills are paid on time and without any effort. The source is providing me with a great home and great family and I am enjoying what I do every day. Those things encompass a bigger picture than I want a 4000 sq foot house.
The other thing that I have recently concentrated on is that some times I may not be ready for what I want to manifest. In such instances feelings of RESISTANCE come to surface, that will not only hinder my goals to success but actually will sabotage my feelings and send out the wrong kind of vibration.
If for example when I am visualizing a Porsche 911 convertible and in trying to get the feeling of gratitude and the feeling of having it, there is some thing in the pit of my stomach that says "no way", or "Holly cow that is so expensive", this indicates resistances that I may not be aware of consciously.
You can use releasing techniques described in my book or any other source to get rid of those resistances. The focus on the bigger picture some times will also bring up feeling that need to be dealt with and those feeling may not come up if you are just concentrating on short term objectives.
So what is the best way of setting up goals? I wish I could tell you one way is the best but like all profound things the answer is a combination of using your visualization both on big picture goals and on short term goals. This should be fun. Remember you are now aware that your thoughts shape your future. You are no longer going about by default. This is exciting and I hope you are as excited as I was when I first discovered that I am in power.
Best wishes to you and as always please feel free to click on the comment link and share.

OUT LOUD OR QUIETLY???
Good morning everyone. I hope you are having a great day.
If you are familiar with this blog and my e-book you know that one of the biggest things I have emphasized in achieving your goals and dreams is the reading of those "written" goals out loud to yourself at least daily. I get asked does it matter if you do this quietly or out loud?
To tell you the truth I understood it to actually matter allot weather you read your goals out loud or quietly but I really did not have an explanation for it and being a scientist that bothered me a bit. Today while I was listening to, you guessed it, Think and Grow Rich in my car as I was going to jiu jitsu it was made clear.
Napoleon Hills explained that the vibration of sound brings your thought vibrations to your subconscious. We have all heard that if you repeat something long enough you believe it. Well it is the actual repeating out loud that has the greatest impact. When you are sub-vocalizing, or as people say read quietly, your conscious mind is more in command, and as we know the conscious mind is the gate keeper of what is transferred to our subconscious mind. The vibration of sound seems to have a better impact on our subconscious by raising the vibration. Every thing is energy and to successfully implement your goals of success you have to raise your vibration and the vibration of those thoughts to match the vibration of the reality that those thoughts will manifest. If you and your thoughts of what you want are not in vibration with the reality of those thoughts nothing will happen.
This may be confusing but the easiest way it made sense to me is this: to be in resonance with the vibration of the reality I want means absolute faith in the fact that my goal has been achieved. If you can truly without any reservation have faith that you have attained your goal it will happen. Most of us however, have resistances that slow down or block our goals from coming into reality. The audible repetition of your goals with THE FEELING associated with having those goals achieved in the now is a method of developing that faith. Faith is essentially belief in attainment without actual proof. According to Napoleon Hill autosuggestion is the only method to develop faith in the fact that you will achieve your goals.
I hope this clarifies things a bit. Please feel free to comment or ask questions by clicking on the comment link bellow.

WHY DO NEGATIVITY KEEP ON COMING BACK???
Good day every one,
I hope you are all well and having an awesome day. I am asked many times this question of "why does negativity persist so hard? or Why is there so much emphasis on negativity?" etc. That is a good question and one that I asked when I was first introduced to the concept of the Law of Attraction. I keep on reading that people have not been able to use the concepts they saw in the movie/book THE SECRET. That never made any sense to me because I never had that issue. The concept of the Law of Attraction worked for me as I mentioned in my e-book from he beginning and I think the main reason is that I always work hard on putting the emotion into it. Never the less I did have the same question of why is the DEFAULT always negative. Why aren't more and more people able to use the LOA to make a better life and better reality for themselves. Well the answer has been mentioned many times over and just recently as I was reading Think and Grow Rich for the umpteenth time it hit me in the head and I had to write it here in the hopes that if any one else is looking for the answer it helps them.
Bluntly put the answer is: BECAUSE WE ARE LAZY. By nature human beings seek the path of least resistance. We like things to be easy specially if we live and have been raised in the Western style of living. We like our "fast food". We like to shop online. We like to not have to think about a great gift and just give "gift cards". We justify it by saying "well they can use the gift card to get what ever they want". I know I have said it. But personally I just happened to be late or lazy to put some time into getting the gift. The same question could be asked this way: "WHY DOESN'T EVERY ONE HAVE A BODY OF SUPER MODELS OR BODYBUILDERS?". The answer becomes obvious when you put it that way, doesn't it? Yes because it takes work.
Fear, doubt, complacency, are not only negative actions that keep us from expanding our comfort zone but they are also easy. It takes no effort to be afraid of doing something. Because you can just not do it. It takes effort and work to think positive. Specially if your whole life you have been bombarded by the media and newspapers and pop culture songs who's theme are depressing and negative.
To be positive and feed your mind and subconscious positive foods takes work. Just like developing the physic of a model takes work and discipline. That is why most people are NOT living their potential reality. That is why just saying the words and not putting emotions into your visualization does not work as well or at all. Most people either do not know how to bring about their reality they way it should be, in which case they should read mine or other books written on the subject, or they are not willing to put in the effort it takes to change their lives because the PAIN of their current situation has not reached the point where it over takes the COMFORT ZONE of their current reality.
The sad thing is that it really is fun to concentrate on positive thoughts. It is fun to listen to works of literature that are filled with inspiring lessons. It is fun to be happy all the time. It is fun not to get angry or jealous and yes it is even fun to forgive those who wrong us. It just takes a little practice and pretty soon it is a habit. The results are pretty cool as well. It is fun to be successful what ever your definition of success happens to be.

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
Good day everyone,
Occasionally when I am driving I happen to catch the news update on the radio station I happen to be listening to if I have forgotten my audio books etc. Recently I heard that some homeowners in Malibu or some place like that had complained to the city that the homeless population were defecating on their property. When the news crew went to interview the homeless man you have no idea what the response was. The man replied to the question of why they are vandalizing homeowners properties by defecating on their yard in this manner and I quote "well if they don't want me to use the bathroom on their property they should just get a porta-potty and put it in their yard. If they live here they can afford to rent a porta-potty". Now the news presented this as a comic relief in sorts, but I started thinking when did the situation get to a point of taking absolute no accountability for our actions.
This blog is about success and habits that will take us there. The most important and one of the pillars of success that many people and teachers preach is TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for our actions. We all do things that will backfire. We all will and have made mistakes. I just made one the other day in dealing with a large banking institution. No matter how I may feel that I was wronged when it comes to the heart of the matter, the point was that I did not do my due diligence and did not read the fine print. I can sit here and moan and complain and play the victim, or I can just move on and chalk it to a lesson learned and hopefully never repeated that will serve me in the long run.
So after taking personal responsibility, learn from your mistake and move on. Once the action is done there is no benefit from going over and over the issue again and again. The only person that will harm is yourself. No one else will be hurt by you going over and over the problem or to blame yourself. I know this is a very hard thing to do. I have to constantly struggle with letting go. It is so easy to be a victim and to complain. But that only brings more things for us to complain because as we know from the Law of Attraction we get what we concentrate on the most.
So in summary take responsibility and then learn and move on to greater opportunities.
Have a great day and don't forget to comment with your thoughts. Thanks.

DO NOT SABOTAGE YOUR EFFORTS!!
Good day to you all,
I hope your week is going stupendously. I have been reading a book by Claude M. Bristol called The Magic of Believing. It clarified something that I had read and heard before but really did not sink in till today. Sometimes in the past I have seen my goals and things I wanted to manifest take longer to come, or I hit some difficulties. Sort of like something was sabotaging my manifestations. At first I thought that it was not meant to happen and the Law of attraction was protecting me. I did not question it but at times it did seem a bit wired. Now I have a new explanation for some of those things. In this book there is a STRONG emphasis on keeping your goals and written statements of those goals to yourself. In the begging of this blog I outlined the 6 steps I learned from the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, on how to set and achieve any goal you want in your life. If you are not familiar with it, I urge you to go back to the earlier posts and read it. I do recall in that book as well Napoleon Hills suggested keeping your goals to yourself until they are achieved. There was no explanation of the why however, and may be that is why it did not register with me.
In the Magic of Believing the explanation is simple and it states "... thought vibrations, consciously or unconsciously, because of envy, or some other cause may be set up to counteract your own". (The Magic of Believing; C. Bristol p.89). This morning it all made sense. Many times in my own life I have shared a new goal or vision that I had set forth toward success or attainment of things, with friends and family as well as, due to the excitement I have about the LOA, I outlined the principles of how to set those goals in written form and review them daily. Many people instinctively feel obligated to tell me all the reasons that my plan was not going to succeed. Even today I sometimes find myself thinking that way when some one brings to me ideas that are outside of my comfort zone and I have to check myself before speaking so as not to step on their dreams. I don't think this is out of malice by any means.
Those who love us, have an innate sense of protectiveness towards us. The easiest way to protect one, is to not take risk. I believe that is where most negative criticism of relatives comes from, but never the less that energy is released and because of the high emotional attachment it has power.
Remember we all use the same ultimate energy and source. Negativity will slow down all your hard work and visualization so the best thing is unless you are confident that the person you share your plans with is in line with your goals, it is better to keep them to yourself and let your actions and success speak for itself.
I am curious to see if any one else has had experience with this? Please Click on the comment link bellow and share your experiences with us.

FREE E-BOOK ON GIVING AND RECEIVING
Good day every one. I hope you are having a blast of a weekend.
I just got this e-mail that Dr. Joe Vitale had sent out. He and a colleague of his Dr. Rick Barret have put together one of the most significant principles of attracting what ever you want to you and that is by giving. In my earlier posts and in my own e-book I have made references to this fantastic principle but here is the free e-book filled with wonderful information.
I hope you enjoy it.

LESSONS FROM A 2 YEARS OLD
Good day all,
Today I want to share with you a lesson I learned from my baby girl. This is something she has done all her life but I just happened to notice it today while I was making lunch because I was in a mood of receiving what I was going to write on this blog next.
The lesson is about persistence. All her life my wife and I have been teaching our daughter to be positive and as much as we can about the how she controls her ,destiny through the Law of Attraction. What I have not related in this blog much is how much of what we manifest and bring about in our lives with our thoughts have to do with persistence.
My daughter saw a packet of crazy glue on the counter while I was preparing lunch. She pulled up her little stool so she was at eye level with it put her chin on her hands on the counter about 2 inches away from the packet of crazy glue and as I was chopping onions about a foot away she asked me "baba, what is this?" I told her it was "mommy's crazy glue". She said "can I have it?" I said "No". Well that was where the lesson started. For literally 15 minutes straight she did not stop asking "can I have it, haa? can I? Can I have it?". I was feeling specially young at heart today so I kept on the game of telling her "Nope, No, No you can't" as I continued with my cooking. After the 15 minutes she was in the same position and I could see the concentration and visualization in action. Now this may be just me, but that is what every one needs to do. Complete and utter concentration on what you want. Keep on going and do not take "NO" for an answer until you either get what you want or you realize that it is not in your best interest to have it.
Learning from a 2 years old little child that there is power in persistence reminds me of a well known fact that Thomas Edison had over 10,000 failed attempt at perfecting the light bulb.
I am great full to my daughter for bringing me this lesson. And yes she did get the packet of crazy glue to play with shortly there after.
