The Magic Word is a spoken word record by Earl Nightingale that sold over a million copies.
As Earl explained, experts call the magic word the most important word as far as the results we get in life are concerned. And that word is attitude. What I’ve learned about attitude has allowed me to sail through life, moving from one success to another. And when I fail at something or run into a roadblock, I harvest the good, learn from the experience, and keep moving forward. Why It’s Called the Magic Word Your attitude works like magic because it is a two-edged sword… It either brings you the success you seek or, if misused, a life of disappointment. You would think that anything that packs this much power would be a subject that is taught from a young age. And yet, it’s not. So, if you ask any ten people you meet what attitude means, you will probably get ten different answers. So, what is attitude? Attitude is the composite of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Ultimately, the thoughts you choose and the way you feel are displayed by your body through your actions and behavior. Here’s a closer look at how it works: Attitude is a creative cycle that begins in your conscious mind with your choice of thoughts. Whether you believe it or not, you do choose your thoughts, and that choice is where your attitude originates. As you internalize (or become emotionally involved with) your thoughts, you create the second stage in forming an attitude: your entire being – mind and body – moves into a "vibration" that corresponds with your internalized thoughts. We refer to your conscious awareness of this vibration as "feeling." Your feelings are then expressed in actions or behaviors that produce the results in your life. What Do You Bring? Results follow attitude like night follows day. What I mean by that is your attitude is the cause, and your results are the effect. The axiom is "positive attitudes produce positive results." They make success more likely, failures less detrimental, pleasures more frequent, and pain more bearable. People with a positive attitude tend to bring warm sunshine wherever they go. Those with a negative attitude bring cold chills. Which do you bring? To find out where you can improve, take an inventory of your predispositions, the attitude you’re most likely to start with: • Are you generally optimistic or pessimistic? • Do you tend to assume the best or expect the worst? • Is your first instinct to be supportive or critical? • Do you send the message that you are passionate about life or that you’re simply enduring it? • Do you come across as the captain of your own ship or simply a passenger? It’s Impersonal The world plays no favorites; it’s impersonal. It doesn’t care who succeeds and who fails, nor does it care whether we change or not. However, a person’s attitude is incalculably powerful in bringing about the marvelous results, success, and joy they desire. However, we must train it patiently, day by day. Successful people come in all sizes, shapes, and colors and widely varying degrees of intelligence, background, and education. But they have two things in common—they expect to get more good out of life than bad and to succeed more often than they fail. And they experience both. When you want something worthwhile, take the attitude that there are many more reasons you can have it than why you can’t. Set out to earn it—go after it—work for it—ask for it—and nine times out ten, you’ll get it. What’s Going On Inside Shows On The Outside Attitude is the reflection of a person. Our environment, the world we’ve created around ourselves, is really a mirror of our attitude. If we don’t like our environment, we can change it by changing our attitudes. Wherever you are on the attitude spectrum, think how much better things could be if you were more consistently and self-consciously optimistic, empathetic, supportive, grateful, enthusiastic, hopeful, and cheerful. Of course, by now, you’re probably wondering how to create a positive, success-oriented attitude? Well, I could go on and on here, but it would be best if you watch The Magic Word, Lesson One of The New Lead the Field Coaching Program (see below). The Magic Word shows you that our attitude toward life doesn’t affect the world and the people in it nearly as much as it affects us. And it provides tips and strategies to begin improving your attitude. It’s a great lesson.

Several years ago the New York Telephone Company made a detailed study of conversations to identify the most commonly used word. Can you guess what it would be?
The word was "I", used 3,900 times in 500 conversations. C’mon, when you see a group photo, whose picture do you look for first? I’m remembering when a friend was in high school and the high level of anxiety he experienced about potentially doing anything that would draw negative attention to him. And I mean something seemingly harmless, like being two minutes late for class, which would cause the other mates to stare for a brief moment. At that age, it’s enough potential embarrassment for some kids to skip class. But I would remind him that everyone is so worried about themselves and their image, they really are not noticing him as much as he thinks. That might sound harsh, like he doesn’t "matter", but it’s not. In fact, I just bought him a sign for his room that says, "I’m kind of a big deal". He is. We ALL are. See… that’s the thing. We are ALL super focused on what’s important to us at any given time. Why? Because we ALL want to feel important. So we talk about ourselves, write about ourselves, and design our marketing messages about ourselves expecting to get noticed. And when we don’t attract people, we’re stumped as to why. In, "What Life Should Mean to You" by a Viennese psychologist, Alfred Adler, he writes, "It is the individual who is not interested in his fellow men who has the greatest difficulties in life and provides the greatest injury to others. It is from among such individuals that all human failures spring." Aha! ~ Make a habit of becoming genuinely interested in other people. In grade four we learned how to write a letter to someone. The teacher encouraged us to start the sentences with something other than the word "I". It was difficult! We are so used to living from our perspective! She insisted we take the side of the reader when composing and design the letter to share our information or sentiments but from the reader’s point of view. We had to jump in their shoes and write in a way that would be of interest to the receiver. That takes effort…but like all effort, it becomes a habit. The fact is, many of us are so starved for acknowledgment and validation that we’ll take any fleeting compliment. But know there’s a difference between flattery and appreciation. "I have discovered from personal experience that one can win the attention and time and cooperation of even the most sought-after people by becoming genuinely interested in them." ~ Dale Carnegie. The word here is "genuine". You can make a profound connection with someone – whether it is your mate, your child, your staff, your market, your audience or your support worker – when you sincerely and openly appreciate them on all levels. Look for the connection and you’ll both win. "Isn’t it offensive, bold, or even rude, to demand something?" you may ask. Many people recoil at the very thought of demanding what they want out of life.
A reaction like this only occurs because you may not understand what the meaning of demand is in the context that I prescribe. Let me explain. According to the dictionary, the definition is: de· mand: /dəˈmand/, (noun) – an insistent and peremptory request made as if by right. DEMAND is such a misunderstood word. It is a request in which you ask for what you want, knowing the outcome you desire will happen without question or further discussion… As if it is already done. There’s nothing outrageous about that. I call this "The Demand Principle". At this point you may be asking, "How can I use the Demand Principle to make my desire real?" The answer is simple …demand it! But like everything, there is a process you must follow. Napoleon Hill’s Demand When Napoleon Hill completed his book, he knew the publisher wanted him to come up with a winning title that would send copies of his book flying off the shelves. Every day, he wrote out every title that came to his mind, and every day, the publisher called to hear the latest additions to his list. None of the more than 500 titles that Napoleon had listed were "right". One day, the publisher called to say that he needed the title by the following day, or the book would be called, "Use Your Noodle and Get The Boodle." "No!…" Napoleon responded, "You will ruin me if you use that title!" The publisher stood firm, telling him he had until the next day to come up with the perfect title. That night, Napoleon was feeling anxious. He wanted the perfect name for his book, and he needed it in a hurry. His demand started small with quiet, unspecific incantations directed at his subconscious mind as he paced his bedroom floor. As he added more emotion, he started yelling at his subconscious mind to cough up a perfect title. "You and I have gone a long way together. You’ve done a lot of things for me—and some things to me. But I’ve got to have a million-dollar title, and I’ve got to have it tonight! Do you understand me?" His ranting grew to such a noise that his upstairs neighbor started banging a broom handle against Napoleon’s ceiling telling him to quiet down. Shortly thereafter, Napoleon went to bed, having been satisfied that he’d infused sufficient emotion into his demand that his subconscious mind had received the message. Around two o’clock in the morning, the author shot bolt upright and jumped out of bed to write down the title that his subconscious mind had delivered, right on time. Quickly, he phoned the publisher, who answered in a sleepy voice, "You’ve got some nerve calling me in the middle of the night." "I’ve got it!" Napoleon Hill enthusiastically shouted through the phone. "The million-dollar title is ‘Think And Grow Rich!’" The Publisher loved the new title and they released his book that went on to sell several million copies. Remember, we live in an abundant universe and everything is available to you — in the same way it was available to Napoleon Hill — if you’re willing to demand it. Demand is not about fighting against the grain, nor is it about force. Force negates. Demand is about perfect, natural, even super-natural alignment with your desire, every moment of every day. Just about everyone struggles at times with letting go…
Whether it’s wanting to let go of a job that provides a nice, steady paycheck but has a draining environment, a business idea that just isn’t taking off, or a relationship that isn’t serving our needs. Or sometimes we’re excited about moving forward with something — achieving a goal, getting in shape, or writing a book — only to find we continue to stand still. We’re doing everything we should be doing, or so it seems, but something is holding us back. And then there are the people who seem to WANT to hang on to something that’s bothering them. Whether it’s something they’ve failed or something someone said to or about them, they talk about it every chance they get. A Terrible Error Holding on to things that no longer serve us creates suffering because what we focus on, brood about, or fixate on grows. Yet, it “seems” comforting and familiar to hold on to these things. We’re afraid there will be a void, or they will not be replaced with something better if we let go. But the truth is, the universe abhors a vacuum. If you make space by letting go of something, the void will be filled by something you are focusing on. So, do you know what you should do? Whenever something happens to you or enters your life, ask, “Is this serving me?” If the answer is ‘no,’ let it go. It can be as simple as dropping the thought, the emotion, or circumstance that is taking up residency within you and replacing it with something—or the idea of something—that will serve you, something you want. That’s the beautiful thing about having an inductive reasoning factor. You can accept or reject any thoughts, ideas, and concepts that enter your conscious mind and generate new ideas. It’s always your choice. Get Out of Your Comfort Zone I often hear people talking about how mundane their lives have become because they do the same things every day. When prompted, many of these same people don’t believe that laws govern our results or that humans have higher mental faculties to create the life and environment they want. So, they miss out on the new possibilities that are available to them. When you live life from the inside out, you begin to experience magical synchronicities. Instead of becoming attached to things that are no longer serving you, you live from a place of expectancy that is seeded in infinite possibilities. There are so many possibilities for events, resources, and circumstances to unfold in your life. However, they only come when you get comfortable with being uncomfortable and you detach both mentally and emotionally from your current situation. It’s Clear I’m not going to go on about this for long because I don’t think it’s necessary. I just want you to be clear that if you’re holding on to ANYTHING that is not serving you, you will cause all kinds of problems for yourself. I also don’t want you to fall into the trap or make a habit of blaming other people, things, or the situation. You know, Ray Stanford, the man who gave me the book Think and Grow Rich, told me, “Bob, you are the only problem you have, and you are the only solution.” It took me a while to figure out what he meant, but he was right. YOU are the only problem you’ll ever have, and YOU are the only solution. Just stand in and operate from the place of firm knowledge and understanding of two things: First, letting go of people, things, and situations that don’t serve you—no matter how comfortable they might make you feel—makes room for you to succeed and prosper. And second, everything you truly want and need will be delivered to you when you make room for it and get in harmony with it. To your success, Focusing on the internal feelings and beliefs to create the external results. Has your external environment ever controlled you, disappointed you, or made you feel defeated? Is the universe conspiring against me? Is this something that you at times say? With each and every effort does it seem like the universe is plotting against you? Does Everyone tell you that your dream was not to be? Does the world shut down to your plans and every single scheduled item on your plan get cancelled with no reopening timeframe in sight? Are you Acknowledging the feeling of a dream being shattered allowing recognition to letting the outside control you? Are you focusing on everything external you don’t have? Then shift to everything you do have – passion, purpose, mission, and the dream that was nurtured through it all. That is all internal with your absolute control of it. Instead of asking negative questions filled with doubt, start to ask questions fueled by belief in what you could do. If a problem did something that you never thought possible and shut you down, then what could you do that was thought to be impossible? You’ll notice that we didn’t focus on the win in this story – we focused on the process. The reason is that I don’t share this story to impress you. I share it to impress upon you what one small application of mindset can do in your life, business and relationships! Here are some questions that I continue to ask myself to stay focused on my internal guidance system: Who is in control of your goal? You, or the outside world? What do you feel and believe about your goal? How can you utilize that as fuel and turn it in action today? If you knew what you were worth, would you settle for anything less?
It’s not uncommon to feel inadequate, whether it’s issues surrounding your career, relationships, or finances. But what if you could overcome the unthinkable by realizing your worth isn’t tied to things, experience, or people but to God. Most religions teach that God is responsible for everything made in this world, and I fully subscribe to this proposition. However, as co-creators, human beings must bear the responsibility for WHAT God makes in our lives. The following story, which I share more fully in You Were Born Rich, illustrates this point: A minister was driving along a remote country road many years ago when he happened upon a beautiful farm. The farm was kept in superb condition. The fences were well cared for. The crops were a radiant green. And the house had a clean, fresh coat of white paint on it. Well-cultivated flower beds encircled the house and stretched along both sides of the long, wide driveway, leading to it from the road. In a neat row along both sides of the driveway were straight lines of tall green poplar trees reaching up to a picturesque blue sky. The lawns surrounding the house were a deep rich green and manicured as any putting green ever was. The entire picture was absolutely breathtaking in its splendor. On the other side of the road, the fields were plowed, and the earth was the deepest black the minister had ever seen, and he was amazed at how the furrows had been plowed in such a way that they stretched out in rows “as straight as clotheslines.” Far off in the distance, the minister could see the farmer sitting up on his tractor. It appeared that the farmer was moving toward the road as he was plowing. The minister pulled his car over to the side of the road, got out of it, and walked toward the fence so he could enjoy the light breeze and admire the beauty of the farm. When the farmer reached where the minister was leaning against the fence, he climbed down from the tractor and slowly walked in the minister’s direction. As the farmer got closer, the minister smiled, raised his arm, and waved, saying, “My good man, God has certainly blessed you with a beautiful farm.” The farmer stopped, pulled out an old red and white polka-dot handkerchief from his pocket with his big, scarred, and calloused hands. He raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his sun-scorched brow. The farmer stood in silence for a moment, looking at the minister, and then he spoke. With a slow, steady voice, he replied, “Yes, Reverend, you’re right. God has blessed me with a beautiful farm, but I just wish you could have seen it when he had it all to himself!” Your future can be anything you want No matter what your past looks like, it doesn’t have to be your future. You are using the mental faculties that everyone has. They are the same faculties used by Steve Jobs, Buddha, and Oprah Winfrey. You might have formed the habit of thinking that people like the ones I just mentioned are different than you and me. But I want you to know the only difference between you and them, or anyone else is only in appearance and accomplishments. The farmer used his facilities to create a picture-perfect farm. While we all live in different physical bodies and use our inherent mental faculties differently, our basic structure is fundamentally the same. I am well aware that many scholars and professionals will tell you that thinking you are capable of wealth, loving relationships, and creating a successful career doing work that you love is a lot of nonsense. But disbelievers have always existed, and they are, in my opinion, little people. For all of the genuinely great leaders are in complete agreement with what I have just explained about your equality with great people of the past and present. Even Jesus tried to tell the world, as he was doing his great work some two thousand years ago, that you too were capable of doing what he was doing. In fact, He even went one step further in saying, “Even greater things are you capable of.” Believe him. He spoke the truth. Own it Despite what Jesus said and what others have said about your capabilities, it still may be difficult for you to believe you are worthy of anything you want to be, do, or have. What can you use to base your worth on? You can get started by defining your value. Ask yourself:
Keep going By now, I hope you’re leaning into the idea that no one else or external circumstances determine your worth. Build on the answers you came up with in the previous exercise by using your mental faculties to create a beautiful image of the kind of life you would love to lead. What do you really want? What kind of relationships do you want? How much money do you want to earn? Like the farmer who turned the raw land that God blessed him with into a beautiful farm that would fit nicely on a postcard, create an image of a life that is absolutely breathtaking in its splendor. You are worth it. How powerful it is to love myself so much that I could get through the storm with faith in the miracle. Even when the sky is dark, there is always a speck of light. That speck of light is more powerful than any darkness. It is all about where you fix your gaze.
It was in that darkness that I chose to focus on the speck of light. As I did, the light became bigger and bigger. Of course I would shift to the dark sky in moments and I would cry. I cried because I didn’t understand, I cried because I was so hurt. I cried because I felt that I had lost something of value. But then I shifted my eyes back to the light. Back to my deep and profound knowing that this was a gift. An embrace of my faith and my belief that I am worthy of the same beautiful love that I give. In the light I could feel the warmth of truth. I could feel a breakthrough on the horizon. I could feel that this pain was a blessing. A part of my journey and part of a bigger plan. My instinct sensed that I was being protected. That I was being loved and cared for by God. So although I was in pain, I could feel His love. Those who leave us are not for us long-term but they do come to teach us. They come to wake up parts of ourselves that we have denied. Parts of ourselves that are essential for our greater purpose. When we can look at life with faith, we can always find that speck of light. If we focus on the darkness, it only gets stronger but it is in the dark that the light is that much greater. The light is that much easier to see. It is our pride that keeps us attuned to what is and what’s wrong and it is in our humility that we can accept and find hope and purpose. It is in our acceptance that we can find healing and in our healing, we begin to understand. We begin to see what we needed to learn. What needed to be awakened inside so it could be reflected to the world. In our story we find freedom. In our honesty we find our purpose. This life isn’t always easy or perhaps it rarely is. However, it can be easier. It can be better. It can be beautiful. When we let go of our own story of how things are supposed to go and allow ourselves to sense the vastness of God’s love, we understand that everything can serve us with a faithful perspective. Who has told you that life ends when your heart stops beating? Who has taught you that love dies? Nothing is ever dead when we realize it is so much more than what we can see. Imagine God didn’t intervene? Imagine I hadn’t gone through that storm. What would I be? What lies would I be living? What pride would I be carrying? Imagine that someone out there is looking in their own storm for light. Imagine they are needing support. And imagine that you are that speck that they catch a glimpse of. The choice is ours. Let the storm make us a part of the already dark sky or let the storm redirect us to the truth. To the light and to our greater purpose. We can’t control what happens, but we can control how we respond. It is amazing to realize that it is up to us. It’s our choice. I choose to love. I choose to be a light, never dimmed by another. What do you choose? I wanted my son to be smart and successful, but I also wanted him to be good. I wanted him to be the kind of person other parents would like to see their kids marry. I also wanted him to make sound, values-based decisions that would help him be safe and happy.
So, like most parents, I spend a lot of time trying to instill in him virtues like honesty, respect, responsibility, fairness, and kindness. But building character is more complicated than teaching math or manners. It involves the heart as well as the head. The goal is to make good thoughts and conduct a matter of habit. I want my children to know what’s good, want what’s good, and do what’s good. Effective character building is captured in the acronym T.E.A.M. – teach, enforce, advocate, and model. We teach character by promoting and developing the values and ethical virtues that make up a good person – trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. We need to be sure kids understand what each of these traits look like. We entrench these values by enforcing them, by backing up our rhetoric with appropriate consequences. What you allow, you encourage. Advocating values means passionately and relentlessly stating our commitment to good character so our children have no doubt what we want for them and expect from them. Finally, and most crucial, we must teach positive values by example, modeling the virtues we want to see in our children. We teach values by the way we deal with pressures, frustrations, fatigue, and other everyday actions, especially what we say and do when we think no one’s looking. This is Elizabeth Christianson reminding you that character counts. What would you do if I showed up at your door, walked straight into your living room, and dumped a big bag of garbage on your floor?
Would you gasp at the atrocity? Would you order me to clean it up? What if I did the same thing every day following? Given that we are friends, and you trust me, would you simply learn to live with it? Sounds like an absurd thing to entertain but I listened to an earlier message from Zig Ziglar who asked this exact question. (As a side note, it is true what they say that we think in pictures so did you get a really clear visual of me walking into your home and dumping garbage on your floor? Believe me, I got a really clear visual of your reaction!) Ziglar’s point was that we recognize household garbage and know that it has no place on our living room floor. It is trash that we took to the curb once and for good reason. We do not want it back! But do we recognize the garbage that cleverly finds a way into our bodies and our minds through preserved foods, rotten ideas embedded in our entertainment, stinky attitudes in our media, or toxic behaviors in our community, and simply accept? Okay maybe that sounds a bit extreme, but you know what we say about computers, “Garbage in, garbage out.” The question is, are we as quick to gasp at garbage imprinting, nutrition, environment and situations and be as mindful to keep them out? Aha! ~ “The person who dumps garbage into your mind will do you considerably more harm than the person who dumps garbage on your floor, because each load of mind garbage negatively impacts your possibilities and lowers your expectations.” ~ Zig Ziglar It is normal that we absorb bits of garbage – mentally, physically, emotionally, environmentally – on a regular basis without being mindful gatekeepers. If we were transparent we could immediately see the direct impact of everything we subject ourselves to. But as James Allen wrote, “…environment is but [your] looking glass” We needn’t go far. (I’ll let you look up the rest of Allen’s brilliant quote.) Notice how many people you know that are reflecting, re-evaluating, and revising – my new 3R’s – and changing course by making more self-honoring choices? Tragedy has a way of shocking us into doing things differently. When we are shocked, we go inward. What an empowering place to start. High five to infinite possibilities! Anyone can create the life they want—irrespective of their current or past circumstances or what other people want or expect of them.
I’m saying this not only because because I’ve read books on the topic like the book emotional intelligence. I’m saying it because I live it every day. My life is a demonstration of what’s possible when you stop letting your circumstances control or limit you. When I stopped focusing on what I lack , I completely turned my life around. And millions of other people have done it too. And if we can do it, you can do it too. However, you should know that right before my life started to shift, I asked myself to suspend my disbelief. So, before I continue, I’m asking you to do the same today. It’s not capricious There’s nothing special about me. The Universe wants each one of us to have an abundant life, and it is always supporting us in making this a reality. However, we must do our part. To create the life we desire, we must think from the inside out. All creation starts on the inside, including the things and experiences that show in our lives. We create our life circumstances in our mind, using our imagination before they become our reality. However, most people either don’t understand this or simply don’t use it to their advantage. Instead of shaping their future by thinking about what they want, many people focus on their current circumstances, and they get more of what they already are or have. Even though that’s a common mistake, here’s how you can correct it quickly. Create a new reality If you’re serious about creating the life you want, stop focusing on or fighting your existing reality. Instead, wipe the slate clean. Here’s how you can do that: 1. Sit down (or go for a walk) and let your imagination flow about how you really want to live in all areas of your life. 2. Make a list of all the things that will allow you to enjoy life fully. Think about the relationships, amount of money, health, career or business, house, car, philanthropic activities, etc., that you want. 3. Write a description of your life exactly as you want it to be. 4. Read your description or think about what you desire every morning, every night, and as many times during the day as you can. Feel it as if you already have your desires. 5. Instead of fighting existing reality and continuing along your current course, you will begin moving toward the life you want and bringing it toward you. Why this works I realize that what I just outlined may seem too simple to work. But don’t let its simplicity fool you; it’s also potent and effective. Our thoughts are a potent creative force. Concentrating your thinking is like taking a river that’s twisting and turning and meandering all over the countryside and putting it into a straight, smooth channel. You see, thought waves are cosmic waves that penetrate all time and space. They take formless energy and create a form—the image of what we are thinking about. But holding the image of what you want in your conscious mind does not affect your life; you must turn that image over to your subconscious mind. When an image is planted in the fertile soil of your subconscious mind, magical things start to happen because the image alters your vibration. That vibration expresses itself through your body in action. Every vibration sets up an attraction, and every action sets up an equal and opposite reaction. Here’s another way to look at how we become what we think about… The Secret explained I learned the power of thinking from one of the most magnificent books Think and Grow Rich. The problem with most people is that they’re not really thinking; they’re just creating mental activity. Remember earlier when I said creation starts on the inside. Well, real thinking is from the inside out. However, you can’t just think about getting rich once or twice and expect it to happen. You must get in harmony with your desires to attract them to you. Here’s a four-step process for attracting riches or anything else you want: 1. Build the idea and the image of what you want. Many people believe conscious thinking has no power over subconscious processes. However, you can change the automatic, habitual patterns of the subconscious mind with new, repetitive thoughts. Your subconscious mind has no “will” of its own. It works only on the data you feed it in ideas, beliefs, and interpretations. And it always seeks to give you appropriate feelings and to accomplish the goals that you repeatedly provide it. Your conscious (creator) although does have a will of its own and that works side by side with your subconscious. 2. Internalize or get emotionally involved with the idea/image you create. Thoughts that are mixed with feeling or emotion constitute a magnetic force. So, to attract what you want, deep feelings and desire must accompany your thoughts. I recommend that you do what Dr. Maxwell Maltz suggests in Psycho-Cybernetics: “Picture to yourself what you would like to be and have and assume for the moment that such things are possible. Arouse a deep desire for these things. Become enthusiastic about them. Dwell on them—and keep going over them in your mind. Your present negative beliefs were formed by thought plus feelings. Generate enough emotion or deep feeling, and your new thoughts will cancel them out.” 3. Change your vibration. When you internalize a thought, it feeds into your subconscious mind, which is your emotional mind, and it dictates the vibration that your body moves into. When we talk about our vibration, we’re talking about our emotional state or how we feel. That feeling or vibration is automatically expressed in action, including attracting new thoughts that will take you where you want to go—the new reality that you described above. 4. Attract what you are in harmony with. You can only attract the energy that is in harmonious vibration with you. Your action sets up a re-action that is aligned with your desire. So, you see, you don’t attract what you want. Wants are in your conscious mind. You attract what you are in harmony with, what you ARE. And you ARE the thoughts that become fixed in your subconscious mind. That’s how the Law of Attraction works. Anyone can attract what they want. If you focus on the first two steps, the rest will happen automatically in accordance with universal laws. I encourage you to reread this and play with these ideas for a while. I guarantee it will make a tremendous difference in your life. The Universe is ready to bless you I love this concept of the power of real thinking. All the great leaders all down through history have unanimously agreed that we become what we think about. When my life changed dramatically , it took me a few years to figure out what had happened. At the end of that time, I was clear on what I had done… I had built new ideas in my mind, and then I got emotionally involved with those ideas, I internalized them, and the rest took care of itself. |
