Beyond The Secret Movie Preview

June 6, 2009

It is three years since the hit movie ‘The Secret’ took the world by storm and now the second instalment ‘Beyond The Secret’ is being released in just a few weeks time. This comes as great news to those people who struggled to really apply the secret and the law of attraction to their lives effectively as the new movie promises to fill in the blanks that were left in the original movie.

Since the original movie ‘The Secret’ stormed its way around the world it has consistently managed to keep itself in the public glare with many books, articles, tv shows, programs and so on being spun out to an ever expanding audience to soak up. However it has not all been plane sailing for the creators of ‘The Secret’ as it appears to have become a ‘love it’ or ‘hate it’ topic with criticism levelled at it from all directions.

Many argue that it gives false hope and even encourages day dreaming as there certainly wasn’t a great deal of emphasis placed on actually taking action in the original movie. This did appear to have been somewhat overlooked and made it slightly mis-leading for a few.

It will be interesting to see how the producers go about setting the record straight on a variety of issues in the follow up, ‘Beyond The Secret’. The ‘teachers’ featured in ‘Beyond The secret’ this time include: Les Brown the Emmy award-winner, Marcia Wieder, Bob Proctor, Paul Martinelli and a variety of motivational speakers, authors and visionaries who are looking to improve your life with their practical, common sense advice.

Again the movie will be mostly presented by Bob Proctor whose calm assured, authoritative manner is garaunteed to inform and educate without you even really realising it.

Just to whet your appetite further here are a couple of quotes from the presenters of the forthcoming release of Beyond The Secret:

Paul martinelli: “There was a very important step missing from ‘The Secret. “We let you in on the true secret to living the life you want in Beyond The Secret.”

Bob Proctor: “‘The Secret’ was a phenomenon, but it’s incomplete and confuses a lot of people. What we do is take them beyond that and teach people how to take control of their lives.”

The movie Beyond The Secret is due out on June the 23rd.

The Secret, 3 Years On

May 27, 2009

So, it’s over three years on since the hit dvd ‘The Secret’ took the world by storm. Can you remember your first viewing of the movie? For many people it was a highly memorable occasion and for some, life changing. Many people finished watching ‘The Secret’ with renewed optimism and hope for life.

Disappointingly for many however was their inability to transfer that intial burst of enthusiasm and energy into an actual real sustained assault on using the law of attraction in everyday life. In fact the vast majority of people are unable to make the secret work in their favour, particularly after just a few goes trying to do so. If this sounds like you do not be dis-heartened or despondent.

Rather like learning a new language, it is a gradual process, of course you will make mistakes but that doesn’t mean you give-up, you just keep trying adjusting your approach until you get the results you are looking for.

If it’s not working for you right now then maybe it is that you just need some more practice. I realise that may sound a touch patronising, to say, ‘be positive’, ‘do not give up’ and so on, particularly when the state of the planet today leads us to think more of failures than successess, what with the state of the world economy, natural disasters and mindless acts of violence that we so often read about these days.

Of course if your thoughts and feeling are reflecting these bad times then that is what you are going to draw towards you. So what is the real answer? How can I make the secret, positive thinking and the law of attraction work for me even after all of this time?

Well, here are a few tips as to how to do so:

1. Stop, stopping yourself from receiving. Yes that does sound a bit strange, I mean why would anyone purposefully stop themselves from receiving something they desired? Have a little think on this scenario: a young child is asking for directions from a policeman: “Excuse me officer, would you mind giving me directions to xyz building?, please, would you mind, can you, can you, please, please could you, where is it, please…” What is happening here is that there is no shortage of asking but unless the child keeps quiet and allows the officer to respond then they are not going to get an answer, ever!

 Then they may very well get disheartened turn around, walk away and of course miss the answer that the officer was willing to give at any time! So, you may well be asking for your desires but are you allowing the universe to communicate back with you and giving it a chance to repsond to you. It may come in very subtle ways, a line in a poem, a comment from a friend, an idea in a book but if you are not willing and ready to listen then you won’t get any answer.

For now don’t try too hard, simply be happy that you have put your desires out there.

2. Patience. The world around us seems like a miracle in itself at times. Huge towering mountains, ridiculously advanced technology and so on but none of those things came into existence overnight. The world has certain laws that all things must abide with. Using the law of attraction isn’t going to change them, it can only make them work in your favour and with you. So if there is something you desire, give it time to develop, don’t expect miracles overnight, simply be patient!

Being patient will enable you to enjoy the process of achieving your goals, attaining your desires and will also stop you from becoming demotivated and giving up due to frustration. 3. Do you part through educating yourself. Don’t view the secret and law of attraction as express delivery packages, as already said this is not the case but do think how you can accelerate the process. What action is it that you can be taking in order to attain positive outcomes.

 Often this will come in the form of education regarding what it is you want, maybe a particular book, course or whatever, but be proactive and do your part. Like an infant trying to take their first steps, you have to do it yourself but you will get there a lot quicker if you can observe someone else who has achieved success.

Mix with those people who are there already and it will help you gain a more vivid picture of what it is you want and of what you have to do to get there. So rather than using the law of attraction, positive thinking and the secret as some unique magic wand, treat it as a simple effective process that you have to go through in order to obtain your desires. Look at it that way and you will get there a good deal quicker.

Take The Personal Development 30 Day Challenge!

September 10, 2008

Is there anything you really wanted to change about your life. Any old habit you wanted to break or any new habit you want to develop? Think of how much richer your life could be if you developed new more fulfilling habits. Maybe you want to quit smoking, learn a new language, meditate everyday, exercise everyday or you have other such personal development goals that you never quite got around to attempting, let alone achieving. If this is the case then why not take up the thirty day challenge!What is the thirty day challenge? Basically it is an extremely simple, yet effective way of changing habits in your life. You see, very often the hardest part about forming a new habit is actually starting and lasting for more than a few days. Breaking a habit or forming a new one can be particularly tricky to do as it seems changing something for the rest of your life is so daunting that often you will not start or give-up soon due to the enourmity of the task. However with the thirty day challenge all you have to do is stick with it for thirty days, then you can go back to doing whatever it is you want, no questions asked!
 More Personal Development and Positive thinking articles here!

This type of psychology gives you the critical feeling that it is of course not forever and that you can indeed achieve a worthwhile objective, such as not smoking for thirty days. After the thirty days you may of course choose to start smoking again or you may choose to continue with your new behavior which after thirty days has also had time to form as a new habit for you. Mentally it is just so much easier to deal with, you can tick days off a calendar or countdown the days until your target date, either way it is so much more motivating.

After the thirty days you will have time to assess whether or not your new habit serves you. If it does then you will find it much much easier to make it a more permanent behavior. You will have had time to benefit from the new habit, break the old habit and bed in the new habit. From this position you will easily be able to tell if it is something you want to continue with or not. You may also like to extend the challenge to 60 or 90 days to keep the psychological effect of it not being a permanent change and to give you a new target and challenge.

Of course it is not all easy going, the first few days will of course require effort on your part especially in terms of commitment and discipline but if you are selecting a goal that is going to improve your life then surely it will be worth it and you can even start counting your days down to freedom.

Here are some great ideas for 30 day challenges that could really benefit you in both the short and long term:

Read everyday for an hour, meditate everyday, commit to an exercise regime, cut out fast foods, eat your 5 portions of fruit and vegetables each day, call a different old friend each day, contact a family member, give-up TV completely, study a new language, quit smoking, become vegetarian, stop drinking alcohol, take time to relax more, stop watching soap operas, do Yoga, stop wasting time in on-line forums or online games, meet a new person each day. The list of possibilities is only limited to your imagination and what you deem beneficial for your life. Even if you don’t want to make a permanent change go ahead and improve yourself in the short term, you will gain from the experience of personal development whatever the outcome.

Whilst for some activities doing them everyday may not always be the ideal way, for example running for new people can be stressful on the muscles and joints, sticking to it everyday makes it a lot easier to stick to as you don’t have the excuse of just taking a ‘rest’ day. So I urge you now to make a chart with 30 days on it, write down what you are going to do to improve you life and start now!

 

 

What is a Dehumidifier?
Dehumidifiers are household appliances that help reduce the humidity levels in the air. There are primarily two types of humidifiers – desiccant and mechanical.

Desiccant dehumidifiers (or passive dehumidifiers) are named for their use of a desiccative substance to dehumidify the air. This substance has an affinity for water vapor, and the dehumidifying process involves exposing the desiccant matter to an air stream with high relative humidity. These dehumidifiers do not utilize compressors and are best used in areas with low temperatures and relatively low humidity levels. Desiccant dehumidifiers can also be used instead of mechanical units or in combination with them. Although not as efficient as mechanical models, they are usually very inexpensive to purchase. Examples of desiccant dehumidifiers would be the Eva-Dry EH-500F and the Eva-Dry EDV300.

Mechanical dehumidifiers (or active dehumidifiers), however, are much more common, efficient, and are simply air conditioners with both the hot and cold coils in the same box. A fan draws the room’s air over the cold coil of the AC to condense the moisture, and this is often collected into a bucket. Dry air will then pass through the hot coil to heat it back up to its original temperature. Therefore, mechanical dehumidifiers will slightly raise the air temperature, as opposed to air conditioners, which will cool the air as it dehumidifies it. Examples of mechanical dehumidifiers would be the NewAir AD-400 and the Soleus CFM40.

How to Buy a Dehumidifier
When shopping for a dehumidifier, there are several factors to consider such as the size of the unit, dehumidification capacity, and safety features. Below is a list of some of the most common things to look for when choosing a dehumidifier and what they mean to you:

How To Develop A Positive Mental Attitude

July 24, 2008

More personal development and positive thinking articles here!

Why develop a positive mental attitude?

Well, if you look around at the high achievers in this world…in any field, you will find nearly always that they display a positive mental attitude to their field of success. They may do this knowingly or otherwise but simply put you will get much more success if you do the same.

Here are a few qualities that successful people with a positive mental attitude display which you can emulate with a bit of effort:

1) The word failure does not exist and therefore has know power over successful people. Look for the positive possibilities in every situation. What other people would term ‘failure’ should simply be translated into a sign of what not to do the next time you attempt to do it, and believe me successful people will always try again…

2) This neatly brings us to the quality of perseverance. If something is worth doing now, then you will likely still want to achieve it next month, next year or whenever, so why stop trying? If you desire your goal there is no reason to stop trying until you have attained it, come what may. Know before you start that success won’t be immediate, accept this, formulate a realistic plan, write it down, follow it through, make modifications if necessary but keep going. Writing down your plan immediately gives you a confidence boost as it allows you to see exactly how you can achieve your goals which in turn stimulates your motivation aswell.

3) Take responsibility for your situation and actions. Most successful people acknowledge that they created their current circumstances due to their previous actions. Their current situation is believed to be merely a reflection of their previous thought patterns. If you have this the opposite way around then you will seemingly feel the victim to circumstance rather than the controller of it and the deliberate creator that you can be.

By taking responsibility there is therefore know attempt to blame others or for you to hide from the fact that you might have made a mistake which created your situation. By being honest in this way it is easy to make amendments to your thoughts and actions to create future success.

4) Be committed. Develop a ‘whatever it takes’ approach. This mentality is an extremely important part of a positive mental attitude. Life is full of stories of people with less natural talent becoming more successful than their more talented counterparts. They go the extra yard to be successful, they do the extra training, stay behind after class, run a few more minutes on the treadmill and so on. In short they make life pay the price. Often this part of displaying a positive attitude can feel frustrating. However successful people realize that success is just on the other side of frustration and use it as a good sign post towards future success.

5) Focus your energies on what you do want and not what you don’t want. Energy is always creative, particularly your thought energy so don’t waste it on negative things. Remember, what you resist persists. So, by seeing the negative in a situation you are actually fueling it and making it into a greater problem. Simply, if you have what you term a negative situation look again and focus on the positive possibilities and give them your thought. These areas will subsequently expand in your mind with avenues that could lead to positive solutions to the initial problem. These thoughts will naturally lead you to more successful thoughts and the spiral continues.

6) Be decisive. Successful people with a positive mental attitude make decisions and stick to them. If they decide they will achieve a certain goal then they will not go back on their decision regardless of how fruitless their task can seemingly appear to be. Remember Thomas Edison the famous inventor of the light bulb. 9,999 attempts and no success commented that he had achieved 9,999 ways not to invent a lightbulb, before actually doing so. Imagine if he had given up after 2, 3 or even 500 attempts!. His decision to invent a lightbulb was made and remained unchanged until he had done so.

The above are just a few of the main ways in which you can adopt a positive attitude. Their are many more ways contained in this site so take you time and browse around or sign-up to the newsletter to stay in touch with your positive side.

How to Get More Out of Life Through Positive Thinking

June 25, 2008

Have you ever stopped to think about how the situations and circumstance in your life have come about? If so and if you are honest enough you will in time see that what you are is merely a reflection of your previous thoughts, words and deeds. In this respect the bible passage Galatians 6:7 KJV holds particular relevance:

‘Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.’

Ok, in modern day terms that may translate to something along the lines of, you get out what you put in, your current actions have later reactions, you get what you give. Say what you will, if your honest you know it is near enough the mark not to be ignored.

So, the question to be asked now is how can change my current thoughts, actions and deeds so that in the future I get more of the things in life that I do want?

One way to immeditately change your view on your current situation and therefore to change it in the future is to recognise and eliminate the inner lies that people so often accept as part of their being.

By adopting a few of the approaches below you can make significant and lasting positive changes to your life. Don’t take my word for it or the words of any of the higly successful people of the past and present but discover the thruth through your own life. Try some of these…
1. Make a decision and take action! Most people will resolutley make a decision or a declaration and believe that because they have made the decision the problem has been fixed. Not true. A decision has never really been made until it has been acted upon. So, make a decision and act upon it! Ideas are the source of all, but there real value only materialises when they are acted upon, when the thought becomes deed.

2. Do you have written goals? If not then it can be easy to let your focus drift or even to forget and lose sight of what you are looking to attain. Research clearly shows that 90% of the top performers in any given field are goal setters! Putting them in writing is the first step in taking them out of the realm of energy and manifesting them into real life.

3. Expectation is what brings the goal nearer to you, action is what takes you nearer to the goal. You need to successfully address both ends of this equation. Expectation is linked to what goals you set. I would find it difficult to expect to earn a million dollars passive income in a month, however 1000 dollars a month passive income in a years time would be a far more reasonable and attainable goal. Therefore with the correct plan and with discipiline I could actually expect to achieve this goal and not just have it as some imginary elusive goal.

4. Don’t ignore your feelings. If you do something because you think that it will take you closer to your goals but it makes you feel negative and fearful, then choose another way. I don’t mean walk away from challenges but if something feels bad about the method you are using to attain a goal then try a different method that feels better and makes you happier. Keep reaching out for the next better feeling. Doing this will always keep you moving in a positive direction.

5. Match up your thoughts, words and deeds. Develop a picture in your mind of what you want. make it clear and vivid. Speak positively about yourself, make positive affirmations to yourself and don’t let your actions contradict your vision. If you have a vision of yourself as being slim and healthy choose an appropriate action to match that vision: eating healthily, runnning and so on. The real power in your mind is when all of these three aspects of yourself are aligned, this is where your real power lies!

Now make a note of the suggestions from above that you feel would be beneficial for you to apply. Now don’t just look at the list, challenge yourself to take positive action on them today! Making these thought processes a natural part of your everyday life is the key. You can do that starting now!

Make Positive Thinking Work For You

May 5, 2008

Positive thinking is hailed by many as the reason they have succeeded in life, with so many books, DVDs and so on on the market at the moment it can become frustrating when you aren’t seeing or feeling positive thinking making much difference in your life.

There are many reasons why this may not be working for you but buying all the books in the world probably won’t improve things if you are unable to change a few things from within. Here are a few reasons why positive thinking may not be working for you and what you can do to change that situation:

Many people get so distracted by the outside world that it leads them away from where the answers really are and that is that all the answers are within… and so to is your happiness. You do not need to search you just need to look within. Some people do this through meditation others through walking in nature others through relaxing in the pool. However you wish to go about it doesn’t matter, what matters is that you actually do go within. Remember the phrase ‘if I do not go within, I go without and it is so true.

Spending time meditating is an ideal way to find peace in your mind, to establish exactly what you need to do to achieve your goals and how exactly you are going to go about it. Saying I don’t have enough time is not an option. They are the words of someone who doesn’t want to do something. Set your alarm ten minutes earlier if needs be because looking within your self and correcting your mental focus is the single most important thing that will make positive thinking work for you.

Do not let what you cannot do affect what you can do! That is a powerful message that should be taken on board. If you concentrate and focus on the things that you are unable to do you are in effect pushing yourself away your goal from you. Instead of feeling bad about the restrictions that you do have placed upon you, focus on what you are able to do. Remember you do not have to know how you will achieve your over all goal you just need to believe that you will. Let each stage of the journey towards your goal unfold in front of you as you go.

Thirdly, you also need to develop positive habits. This is a real key. Just meditating every now and then is not going to be enough to change your mindset consistently, but doing so daily will provide a much better clarity of thought and focussed mindset thus achieving greater results. Develop habits such as when you are commuting to work think about all the things you have to be thankful for. This thankfulness is a real positive thought and you can then transfer this positive feeling towards that which you want to achieve, bringing it closer to you.

The above are just a few quick tips on what you can do for free to help you become more positive in your daily life. There are many more ways to do so and none of them require money, only desire on your part which you obviously have as you have already found this article, so no more excuses.

Positive Thinking and Belief

March 23, 2008

One of the most important things in trying to achieve any noteworthy goal is that of believing. Believing that you can and will achieve your goals. In fact believing so much that you expect it to happen. When you expect something to happen obstacles can then be seen not as problems but as natural events that must occur in order to for the expected outcome to manifest. Remember belief is complete and absolute faith and contains no doubts only positive thinking.

Belief is on three levels: thoughts, words and actions. If you only believe something in your mind but don’t demonstrate this belief through your thoughts and actions then you are going to make little progress. If you only talk a good game then that too is not going to make great strides towards your goals, and we have all met people like that. However when you believe on all levels that is your thoughts, words and actions do not contradict eachother and  are all focussed on the same goal then you are in control of a very powerful creative force.

 Indeed expectation through belief via the law of attraction moves the goal towards you and actions and thoughts move you towards the goal. Thus all three combined can manifest your goals much quicker.

This process of simply focussing your thoughts works! Have you ever had a particular thought running through your mind and then noticed a group of related subjects, events, people or places showup in your life? For example, maybe you have been thinking about where to go on your next holiday suddenly all the posters in travel agents windows, adverts in glossy magazines and so on continually jump out at you and people you meet have just comeback from places you are thinking of visiting. After this then it is your turn to make the next step with your words and actions in organising the holiday.

Of course these things were always there just you had not placed your focus on that area so your mind did not let you notice them. Your mind is programmed through selective attention to get rid of all the clutter and leave you with only the relevant information. Having this ability to focus helps you continually discover new things, circumstances and opportunities to achieve your goals that much quicker as you can continually pursue them through these new avenues with your words and actions.

For example walking down a street an advertiser would subconsciously notice the blank advertising space on the side of the wall whereas the real estaste agent would notice the vacant building nearby which could be renovated and sold on. You see it is the same situation for both people only our subconscious mind which we have programmed through our habitual thoughts allows to notice that which we have programmed it to.

If you wish to program your mind there are plenty of positive thinking techniques such as positive affirmations, visualisation techniques, developing positive habits and so on that will allow you to do so, however they would all ultimately comeback to belief, that inner unwavering faith. So the key message here is there are no coincidences only that which you bring about through your belief and focus. So believe and focus.

Those who think they can, can.

Boost Your Positive Thinking From The Top Down

January 28, 2008

Positive thinking from the top down, Are you struggling to make progress in life or in any particular field? Do you seem to be constantly hitting the same problems? Are you getting frustrated at your lack of progress. Well if the answer is yes then give yourself this positive thinking mental check-up.

First remind yourself that nothing can happen in your life without it first appearing as an image in your mind. By this I am referring to the undisputable law: ‘the thought first and then the thing’. The classic example usually referred to is the chair. Many years ago one man got tired of sitting on his heels and thus grew a desire for what we now call a chair.

From his initial desire sprang the vision/picture/image in his mind of himself sitting comfortably with a straight back with his legs dangling off the edge of a comfortable solid thing. From this image he was then able to construct something resembling a chair. Of course their have since been further visions, ideas and images which have also materialized in front of us; sofas, armchairs and so on. The point is if you are trying to create something or improve any aspect of your life you first need to change your idea about that thing.

See yourself in your minds eye in the situation that you wish to be in. Feel how great it is, see yourself in that place where everything is the way you desire. Do not worry about how you will get there just hold that image in your mind. Focus on every detail of that image including all six senses. If you are celebrating closing a big business deal imagine the taste of the champagne, hear the clinks of the glasses, feel the sense of elation in your body and physically see the signature confirming the deal being sealed.

The method that you will use to achieve that goal will become apparent once you have this image firmly fixed in your mind and backed with your belief and faith. When you get the idea or plan that you believe will help you achieve your goals write it down! Writing both your goals and plan down will significantly increase your chances of success. Doing this literally starts to manifest them in to life, it brings them on to the physical plane where they can begin to grow. Finally, add perseverance and faith. Everyday hold your vision in your mind and do not worry about any minor setbacks that you may have on the way. View these as natural obstacles that you will overcome on the way to materializing your vision. Keep playing your mental movie through your mind and have a think about these two quotes:

 ‘Whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve’ – Napoleon Hill and:

 ‘Faith is the ability to see the invisible and believe the incredible’ – C, Smithison And these few quotes from Wallace Wattles are also certainly worth bearing in mind:

 ‘Every thought of form, held in thinking Substance, causes the creation of the form, but always, or at least generally, along lines of growth and action already established.’

‘Men get rich by doing things in a Certain Way; and in order to do so, men must become able to think in a Certain Way. A man’s way of doing things is the direct result of the way he thinks about things. ‘

‘To think health when surrounded by the appearances of disease, or to think riches when in the midst of appearances of poverty, requires power; but he who acquires this power becomes a MASTER MIND. He can conquer fate; he can have what he wants.’

 ‘Since belief is all important, it behooves you to guard your thoughts; and as your beliefs will be shaped to a very great extent by the things you observe and think about, it is important that you should command your attention.’

“The Creative Power within us makes us into the image of that to which we give our attention.” So, regardless of your current circumstance and apparent failings or under-achievements so far in life remember that all you are now is a product of all you have thought in the passed. With this in mind first change your thoughts in order to change your life and also remember:

‘What the mind truly believes the body inevitably delivers’

There can be no doubt that your life can be dramatically enhanced by getting your thinking correct. Try it and see what happens!

Beyond Positive Thinking: The Power to Change

December 17, 2007

Everybody has at some time or other found themselves in a situation or rut in life which they find hard to get themselves out of. There could be any number of scenarios, for example: an ever increasing credit card debt, a bad smoking habit, a career that is too draining or unfulfilling, health problems. In fact you can probably insert your own situation here that you are in the midst of or remember being in.

 

If you find yourselves in one of these situations here are a few positive thinking points you may wish to bear in mind when trying to turn things around.

 

Firstly, the chances are that you helped create the situation you are in through the choices or more than likely the lack of positive choices that you did or didn’t make. The good thing about that is that it must mean that you are perfectly able to work your way out of the situation through your own choices too, which you can.

 

Secondly, once you have decided to change be aware that a decision has never been made until it has been acted on. If you decide to stop using your credit cards then chop them up, just saying you are not going to use them is not enough. Physically go ahead and take action.

 

Thirdly, it is always helpful to write down the goal of what you are actually trying to achieve. In this way you are being as clear as possible to yourself and others about what you are trying to achieve. When writing your goals make them realistic so that you can actually believe that you will achieve them. If you create an unrealistic goal the problem for most people is that they see the big void between where they are now and where they would like to be and they become fearful about not achieveing the goal. This fear then focuses their mind on the lack of what they want and not upon achieving the goal. It is no wonder then that a lot of people get what they do not want.

 

Fourthly, never compare what you have with another. Doing so can easily make you frustrated about your situation. Try to visualise yourself in the situation you want to be. For example, see yourself running around the park early in the morning with fresh air going through your lungs and not a cigarette in sight.

 

Finally, perseverance. If you want to give up OK no problem go ahead give up but remember there is very little else to do in life apart from create and live life, so wouldn’t it be better to live it the way you want? If you want to change go ahead and change however if you are not really so interested then keep reading self-help books, listening to CDs and DVDs and wondering why things never actually improve for you because seriously they won’t unless you make them. Take consistent purposeful action towards your goals and keep going. In fact Winston Churchill summed it up pretty well with:

 

“You create your own universe as you go along.”

 

So why not start creating the things you want. You have the power to change your life, nobody else does!
