The Secret 3 Years On

June 2, 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 wil 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 repond 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.

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.
