I Don’t Need to Hear This Again!
I know, you’re probably saying that volumes have already been written on the power of setting goals and you don’t want to hear it again. This is true. Including a couple of articles by Your’s Truly. But I thought it was necessary to repeat some important points regarding this subject. You see, I occasionally have to remind myself to follow my own advice. I occasionally have to get back in line. As a goal-setter, it becomes obvious when this happens. Things don’t go as smoothly, as quickly, or as completely as I had planned. Sometimes, I need to hear it again.

Back to the Basics
The powers of the mind and the powers of visualization are amazing. These come into play in full force when properly setting goals and making plans to achieve them. Your goals will assist you in achieving your dreams. Without goals you have no direction. How will you ever get where you want to be if you don’t know where you’re going? Where do you want to be in a year from now, two years from now, five years?

Have you written down what you want? Write down your main goals and what you’re willing to do to reach them. Read them out loud when you get up and before you go to sleep. This is how you will access your subconscious mind to respond, and it is a fact that you are four times more likely to achieve what you have written down.If it’s not important enough for you to write down, maybe it’s not important enough for you to accomplish! Writing down a goal can make the difference between achieving your goal or not.

Use Affirmations. An affirmation is a statement of an outcome you desire, spoken in the present tense as if this outcome was already achieved.

Goal Setting and The Law of Attraction

Most of you should be familiar with the Law of Attraction and the Secret Movie. Well, proper goal setting is the Law of Attraction at work. Goal setting (and achievement) is a perfect example. You have heard the oft-repeated statement, “What you think about with faith and emotion becomes your reality.”

How does Goal Setting and the Law of Attraction relate?
* You Identify your goals and write them down (Desire)
* You read them daily (repitition)
* You affirm the outcome (belief)
* You visualize the outcome (emotion)
* Your subconscious mind intervenes
* Things happen!

I looked within and found there both the cause an the self-made nature of that cause. I looked again, and deeper, and found the remedy. James Allen

SOME INSPIRATION

 

Giving and Receiving

I launched a smile, far out it sailed on life’s wide, troubled sea.
And many more than I could count came sailing back to me.
I clasped a hand while whispering, “The clouds will melt away.”
I felt my life was very blessed all through the hours that day.
I sent a thought of happiness where it was needed sore,
And very soon thereafter, found Joy adding to my store.
I wisely shared my slender hoard, toil-earned coins of gold;
But presently it flowed right back, increased a hundredfold.
I helped another climb a hill, a little thing to do;
And yet it brought a rich reward, a friendship that was new.
I think each morning when I rise of how I may achieve,
I know by serving I advance, by Giving I Receive.
- Thomas Gaines

Until next month, stay Motivated, stay Inspired, and remember “It’s never too late to be who you might have been.”

The Truth about “The Secret”

“The Secret” and “Law of Attraction” certainly have not wasted any time becoming household words. Everyone seems to be talking about it. Even myself.
I began a series of articles titled “Why the Law of Attraction Doesn’t Work.” The internet has become inundated with it.

By now, most everyone is familiar with “The Secret Movie” and the programs shown on Oprah Winfrey, Larry King Live, and a host of others. All this has caught people’s attention; attention the media has used to stir up controversy and debate.

All this is by no means an accident. This controversy was created by the media for a reason…Money!
The more controversy generated, the more advertising dollars created. That is what they are supposed to do.

This has also created untold millions in revenues from movies, websites, books, programs, coaching, etc. But much more importantly in my opinion, this has created better lives for hundreds and thousands of people who have aligned themselves with the Law of Attraction and the Laws of the Universe.

What we are NOT supposed to do is get caught up in this controversy or debate. Why?

Because we don’t want to let the controversy and hype keep us from the TRUTH. And the truth is….

  1. There is no secret. The “Law of Attraction” has never been a secret. In “The Secret” movie, they claim the information they were releasing has been suppressed and kept a secret by a select few for centuries. In reality, most people throughout the years were just not ready to hear about it. The normal response to these ideas is one of fear. We fear the unknown and we fear our own powers. Most people are just not ready to work with these ideas. Any one who is ready to hear about the Law of Attraction will take hold of this new approach to living their life. “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” It’s only now that this information is so accessible and popular that there is such a great movement toward our own Spiritual truth.
  2. The Law of Attraction is real and working in the life of every human being. It always has been and always will be. It’s just that for most of us, it works against us most of the time. Most people’s lives are driven by fear and worry. We are a society or worriers and we are used to living that way. We spend our days worrying and thinking about all the negative stuff in our lives. (Don’t Worry; Be Happy)

We are not conscious of the fact we are spiritual beings capable of unlimited feats and achievements. The Law of Attraction works in the favor of anyone and everyone who becomes conscious of it.

“You are what you think”. You are able to create your own destiny simply by the things you think about. If you expect to fail, then that’s what you will do. Recognizing and managing what you already have within you is the key - the first step - and possibly the hardest. It all has to do will belief and confidence and desire.

If you believe you are all powerful, and you have the confidence according to your belief that you are unlimited, then take this non-secret and begin to enjoy your life and all the successes, happiness, health and wealth you were born with. You already have the powers. You already have all the answers. You already have all the potential and achievement within you.

Seek and you shall find. Ask and it shall be given to you. Knock and the door shall be opened. This is the truth. The whole truth. And nothing but the truth. So help me God.
