IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT, DO IT WELL.

Good day and I hope you are having a great week. This week I want to explore The Law of attraction’s bases of taking everything you do seriously.  We live in a fast pace world that inundates us with technology,  and sometimes we lose ourselves in those technological advances that are supposed to make our lives better.  Imagine e-mail for example. What an amazing product right? Well how much of your day is consumed by this product if you are not too careful? Social media is another example of a tool that can be your “friend”,  pun intended, or it can isolate you in a false sense of belonging.

I bring up these things because in the West specially, we have this love, hate relationship with multi-tasking. You may want to see my blog on multitasking as well.  We think the more we are doing the more effective we become. That is really not the case for most people. In fact studies have shown that multi-tasking in fact decreases your efficiency,  as well as the quality of the work you do.  Just Google “multitasking” and you will see tons of results for studies on the subject.  It is really simple to understand. When you have your focus dispersed you cannot really put one hundred percent of your effort into anything you do.

Let’s look at it from the stand point of The Law of Attraction (LOA).  When you are concentrating, visualizing, and focusing on different goals, you are sending multiple vibrations into the Universe. We know from our study of The LOA, that we are always answered. Our job then is to then be open to receiving that which we desire. To do that we have to come into sync with the vibration of what we want. The  more focused we are on that vibration, the quicker that sync happens,  and the quicker we can manifest our desires into its physical counterpart. You can see then, that if you are dispersing your energies on many things, it is difficult to reach a vibrational sync of any kind with your desires. This will prolong the maturation of your manifestation and bring about disappointments for you.

Let me tell you a story about the time when I had finally decided that medicine was not going to be my career pursuit.  After months of soul searching and coming to grip with the idea that all my dreams of becoming a surgeon were for not, I had to find a job, to put food on the table and pay back this immense student loan that I had accumulated. Within 9 months I went through 2 jobs. The first was a car salesman with Saturn. The second was a motorcycle sales man with Harley Davidson.  The way I approached those two jobs will demonstrate what type of vibration I sent out. 

I owned a Saturn when I started to work for them. As such, I looked at the job as just something to hold me till I found my real career. I told customers about what a great car it was. Used the sales techniques they taught me. Went through the motions. The one thing I had going for me though was that I was very positive and as such I had reasonable success in selling cars. I was personable and made good friends. I think those characteristics  opened up the opportunity to join the Harley Davidson team.  

When I started at Harley Davidson, I did not own a motorcycle and did not even know how to ride one. That year though, the V-ROD had debuted, and the history of the collaboration of Harley Davidson and Porsche was of immense interest to me because,  my dream automobile was, and still is a Porsche 911 turbo cabriolet.  Due to my lack of familiarity with the product, I put in allot more focus and attention to learning not only the sales skills, but about the product, as well as about the people who wanted to purchase them.  I did not just give it 100%, I gave it all I had.

It took me a few month longer than at Saturn to become proficient at selling Harley’s, but what did happen was that I received an invitation to join a bio-medical sales company that eventually lead to my current career.  I fully believe that the effort I put forth at Harley Davidson, opened the doors to come back to a career that utilized all my medical training,  opened the door for me to be introduced to the law of attraction, pay off my student loan,  and develop the relationships that I have today, with all the blessings that are in my life.

The moral of the story is then, whatever you are committing yourself to doing, do it to the best of your ability.  Not only is it common courtesy, but you will gain the benefits of it not just in your current position, but in your future life. The universe will repay excellence with excellence in opportunities.  Likewise, mediocre efforts will result in mediocre opportunities from the Universe.  It IS THE LAW. There is no way around it.

I hope you enjoyed this post. As always I urge you to comment on my Facebook page, and Twitter feed by clicking the blue link associated with them.  Remember as you share from your experience you are sending out the vibration of prosperity. Till next week, thank you and  to your success. 

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION, IS THERE MORE TO IT THAN THAT?

Good day and I hope you are having a great day. Recently I wanted to concentrate on daily meditation practice in my life. I had been faced with a lot of distractions and challenges and felt like I was off center. Having been able to mediate easily through years of martial arts practice, I was really surprised at how hard it was for me to get back to it. I realized that what I was experiencing with my difficulty in meditating is in many ways the same challenge that many feel when trying to utilize The Law of Attraction.  Sometimes the resistance point that prevents The Law of Attraction from working for us  is its simplicity.

 I remember when I was first learning to meditate, I did it because it was part of my martial arts class routine. We would start and end each class with meditation. Sitting and breathing for a few minutes before and after the class. There was always an instructor that told me to do it, and I did what I was told. At first,  I did not really understand what meditation was. I just breathed as everyone else breathed.  The time frame was short, and I did not “struggle” to quiet my mind, because that was not my “purpose”.  I was just doing it because I had to during the course of my class. As I continued to do this for 10 years, it because a part of me. The rough edges were polished by repetition and as I became comfortable with the breathing,  I also started to read and learn what meditation was and experimented with different forms  of meditation. 

Being a very analytical person, I remember making it is allot more complicated than it should have been.  At times I became lost in the instructions and the steps of the process, rather than the feelings and physiological feedback that my body and mind was giving me. It took a long time to just let it go and enjoy the moment.

Later on life got in the way.  I lost track,  and got away from my martial arts practice, and at the same time stopped meditating.  I found my life in upheaval, so I started coming back to meditation and I found it very difficult. I attended a Buddhist monastery located close to me in North San Diego county. It just seemed too simple to breath and concentrate on my breathing. I wanted something more magnificent. I wanted something with more bells and whistles. I wanted to ask the abbot” is there a more ornate or more advanced way of meditating?”,  and as I was posing this question in my own mind, I had an epiphany and could not help but laugh.  I was concentrating on completely the wrong thing. It was beside the point.  I was losing the forest for the trees.

Meditation in its simplicity is the reason why it works.  It is not designed to make you think, and become more complex so you can think some more. The whole secret of emptying your mind is to concentrate on thoughts that DO NOT lead to other things.  The simple counting of the breath, or just visualization of the path of the breath is exactly the reason why it calms the mind and the body. 

The same is true with The Law of Attraction (LOA).  Many people have a hard time believing that you ask and it is immediately given and you just have to be open to receiving.   Specially in the Western culture where we have been taught “if it sounds too good to be true, then it must not be real”.  So what do we do? We try to make it more complex.  We get lost in the questions.  Am I visualizing correctly? Am I spending the right amount of time? Am I auditory or kinesthetic in my visualization? Is one better than the other? Do I think in colors? Should I put myself in my visualization, or should I look through my own eye? All of these complexities are taking us away from the main feeling of joy and gladness that you are supposed to send out in relations to the things that you want. Keep it simple, and do the same thing over and over with persistence. When your visualizations and your thought of the thing that you want seems real enough for you that you know it in every aspect, and it just seems a step away, you will see it materialize in your life.  Remember if it seems like work, you are not doing it correctly. If you are frustrated you are sending out the wrong vibration.

This is a big reason, why I start with GRATITUDE.  There is just something magnificently simple in being grateful. If you can be grateful in  the moment, it is sure to make you feel good. Taking personal responsibility for our mindset is important. Remember you always have something to be grateful for, and if you practice this attitude it becomes easier. The more you look for things to be grateful, the more things will come to mind. It is like exercise. At first it is hard to get going, but when you start, the going  gets easier and you achieve a flow. 

Before you visualize on something that you want, start by being grateful for what you have right now. Get into the higher vibration of abundance before you focus your  visualization. It is sort of like warming up for the main routine. I hope this makes sense to you and will help you get a better handle on your quest to understanding and utilizing The LOA.  As always please feel free to comment on my Facebook page and Twitter feed. I really would like to hear from you on this point. What challenges have you faced in using the LOA? What successes have you had? Sharing is caring. When you care and share you are opening the flood gates to abundance. Until next week to your success. 

BE A TRAILBLAZER!!

YOU CAN NOT HAVE IT FOR "THEM"

Good day and I hope you are having a great week. This video blog is about the fact that you cannot want others to love you, or like you, or be in business with you. LAW OF ATTRACTION is not about making others do what you want. You can only control yourself and your emotions and that is ENOUGH.

A SIMPLE PLAN FOR INNER PEACE

Good day and I hope you are having a great week. This week I wanted to touch base with you about things that trouble you. Today we are going to reach a little deeper and by doing that my goal is to show you how you can achieve inner peace. It is a simple task, but as with most things it is by no means easy.

Let’s go into scrutiny of what it is that causes us worry? Something is happening on the other side of the world and I see it on the news and it produces anxiety for me. The baseball game went over by 3 hours and I am missing my UFC event and I am fuming.  The elected officials are doing this and that, and I don’t really agree with it, and now I am concerned about the future etc. Can you see the common factor in all these things? The answer is they are all events outside of me. These are things that are outside of me that are causing emotional vibrations in me.   Can you see now when I say it is a simple matter,  but it is not easy? The simple answer to inner peace is to be able to control ourselves and our feelings regardless of what is happening outside of us. 

The problem is that we have been conditioned to care about what other people think. We have been brought up to react to the outside world events. The question that needs to be answered is this, “is this worldly event really critical to my survival right now?” Was it critical to my survival to have been able to watch the UFC fight? Was the election of so and so something that threatens my life? In most cases the answers are a comical and decisive no. 

In the grand scheme of things we always have the option of being happy and being at peace. When we start to encounter incidences in our lives that start to push us off balance the key point is to recognize and filter these events. We need to come back internally and realize that we can only control what we can do, and everything else is not critical to our survival. 

When you look at this from the stand point of the Law of Attraction (LOA)  you can also see how in tune the Universe is. The concept that most of the time, most people are going about by default is that, we react to our external environment.  Unless we have been educated to know that we can control our reality, we rarely recognize our feelings as something of an indicator.  In fact, most of the time we dismiss our feelings and ignore them.  When things are good we are happy. When things are challenging we are unhappy. What an up and down rollercoaster ride.

Being in tune with our feelings, and knowing we are the only ones responsible for what is happening to us is empowering.  We have the ability to feel good regardless of what is happening around us. Simple principle but incredibly difficult in challenging times. The more you practice with this, the better you can become just like any skill.  It is a worthwhile skill to master. 

The practice with The Law of Attraction (LOA) has only one goal for us, and that is to be happy now.  Inner Peace makes us happy now as well, isn’t that just great? It is so cool that things just blend together and support each other. That is the way things should be. It is the way of the Universe. It is law and our birth right.

DON'T DROP THE SNOWBALL : KEY TO SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS

Good day and I hope you are having a great week. In this post I want to cover something that haunts even the best practitioners of success principles and The Law of Attraction.  Some people call it PROCRASTINATION, some call it FEAR, it does not matter what you call it. There are some subtleties that we should be aware of when we sit down,  visualize what we want,  set our goals, and if we are really good,  set a deadline.  We sometimes neglect the one key thing.  That one important thing we may not do is to take IMMEDIATE ACTION on those goals.  Think about it.  How many times have you set goals and said you will star tomorrow, or next month, or by the new year, or as soon as so and so happens?

Many times that hesitation between the excitement of creating the goal and the initiation of the plan to complete it creates the doubts and fear that challenge even the best of us.  When you let things sit, that initial high emotional vibration that you sent out to the Universe gets stagnated.   It is like rolling a snow ball down the hill. I started to create that initial snowball, but  I  never actually put it down and start rolling it so it becomes a boulder.  I  just left it in the snow and walked away.  Isn't it sad?

You can see from that analogy that the vibration that is sent out to the universe has initiated to create the opportunities for me to achieve your success. However, not taking action is signaling to the universe that I want more opportunities to NOT TAKE ACTION.  And the Universe will reply in kind.  More opportunities will come to procrastinate.  I will find excuses.  I will find justifications for my fears, and pretty soon the spark that initiated that goal will die, and my progress is doomed before it even gets started.

One of the key things that Napoleon Hill points out in his all-time best seller Think and Grow Rich  is that when you set plans to achieve your objective, start IMMEDIATELY TO TAKE action.  Many teachers like Jack Canfield, and Dr. Joe Vitale preached that you should take at least one step every day that takes you close to your goal, and that is great but,  you need to start immediately when you set that goal and get the ball rolling. 

You will be amazed how wonderful beginning of the journey feels.  The sense of accomplishment that you get for actually taking that first step towards your objective is amazing and that feeling and that vibration will in all likelihood carry you through to the next step.  So don’t forget to celebrate and reward yourself for starting immediately.  Having said that, be careful not to try to tackle the monster in one go.   Break down your goals into manageable steps so each step will not seem intimidating.  That way you can take steps, reward your success, get feedback and analyze your progress and if needed,  go ahead and change and correct your course. 

I hope this post was valuable to you. As always please feel free to share and comment on my Facebook page and Twitter feed. I always love to hear from you and we can all learn together from multiple experiences. Till next week, to your success.
