"All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination. Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth."Napoleon Hill 

Walking in circles

WALKING IN CIRCLES

Dr. Jan Souman, of the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, studied what happens to us when we have no map, no compass, no way to determine landmarks. I’m not talking about a metaphor—he researched what happens to people lost in the woods or stumbling around the Sahara, with no north star, no setting sun to guide them.

It turns out we walk in circles. Try as we might to walk in a straight line, to get out of the forest or the desert, we end up back where we started. Our instincts aren’t enough. In the words of Dr. Souman, “Don’t trust your senses because even though you might think you are walking in a straight line when you’re not.”

Human nature is to need a map. A map, written by you, of the things you want to accomplish in life. Without a map, or a plan, or goals, you’re set adrift, life happens to you, not the other way around.   I saw a movie once, about the South Pacific, a line from the movie was, “ You eat life, or life eat you”. Set goals, create a map, that’s how you get things done. 

Not just a coat of paint!

I just painted four rooms in my house, four rooms that were in dire need of paint on the walls. It’s the final leg in a complete renovation of my house, which started back in 2004.  Yes, I move slowly, but after doing a kitchen, master bath, wood floors, new roof, etc., I needed a break both mentally and monetarily.  Through the years, I haven’t always been in love with my home, for me, it was just a big nuisance, and at times, an expensive one. Nevertheless, I made the decision to complete the final items here that were long overdue, starting with finishing these last four rooms.  I brought in a color coordinator, we decided on paint colors, and I hired a painter.  The walls were so badly beat-up, the painters spent two full days just patching and plastering.

Friday evening, I arrived home and I couldn’t wait to see how it all turned out.  As I moved from room to room, admiring the painter’s handy work, I was so pleased with the outcome; I wondered why I had waited all these years. I mean, I could have been enjoying these rooms, this house. I felt a complete attitude change come over me.  As I sit here in my living room, typing these words, I’m completely in love with my house, perhaps for the first time since I originally purchased it.

It’s a coat of paint people! 

This got me to thinking. Such a minor change, yet, it set me off on a completely new and positive direction. Imagine, making a minor change in your life, and what new paths it might offer for you down the road. 

Forget the big stuff for now, that job change you have been contemplating, or moving to another city, I’m just talking here about making minor changes.  I have found that even small changes in your life, the way you do things, the way you interact, can have a profound effect on the quality of your life and plant the seeds for a more happy and fulfilling journey. Simple changes can make a big difference. Perhaps buying some new clothes, or a new suit.  Drive to work taking a different route, get on a dating site, or bring your wife flowers.  Give an old friend a phone call, take a class, or start eating healthy. In your job, perhaps branching off on a new idea, making a few extra phone calls each day, or start setting up more networking lunches. 

Get out of your routines, or perhaps, do the opposite of what you always do.  See what happens.

Stay happy my friends…….trust me, life moves fast, you blink and a chunk of it is gone……A friend of mine said, rightly so, “if not now, when?”

Create, create, create!!

Times are tough, I guess you don't need me to tell you that. Layoffs are coming daily. Yet, through it all, you have to stay positive and realize, we live in the greatest country in the world. Anything is possible, bad economy or not. You have to believe that. 

When your child asks you to buy a Pillow Pet, or when fortunes are made from flipping houses, making candy, or starting a sub-sandwich chain, keep your head and create.  The Universe offers us unlimited possibilities. 

Remember, your energy goes where your attention flows......

Until next time! Happy Holidays

You can be anything you want.
You can have anything you want.
Don't ever doubt yourself, don't ever think you can't have this, or you can't have that. YOU CAN
The Universe offers unlimited possibilities.
It all comes down to what you think is possible

If you think it is, it is.....

Manifesting and the iPhone

Do you believe in the law of attraction? 

The Law of Attraction states, that what we, in our hearts and minds believe or long for, becomes manifest in our reality.

The Law of Attraction states that we draw to ourselves vibrationally anything that we focus on.... or "like attracts like".  So, we manifest into our reality that which we focus upon!

Now, I have always wanted an iPhone, especially the new 4s. However, on my more practical side, I have said to myself,  this old cell phone is just fine, it does everything I want even though I'm slightly embarrassed with the appearance of it, since I use it for business and in my business, image is everything. When I visit the Apple store, I love playing with the iPhone, when I see someone using their iPhone, I always enquire about it, " Do you like it"? "Can I see it?" I've been desiring this phone for quite a while.

Today, at a business function, (one that I didn't really want to attend, but forced myself to go)  I put my business card into a hat, way at the bottom since I was one of the first to arrive. They picked a card and they CALLED MY NAME!  The  prize? .............A generously large gift certificate at the Apple Store!  Enough for the best iPhone 4S they have.

Thats the Law of Attraction.

The Law of Attraction

There is nothing magical about it: it is based around electromagnetism. This electromagnetism is responsible for attracting you to other people and things. You attracted every experience that you have had in your life: people, situations, events, money, jobs, cars and so on. You electromagnetically attracted them all, mostly subconsciously. And when you attract things subconsciously, especially the unwanted things, you come to the conclusion that the Law of Attraction is not working positively for you.

Say you want more money, and you know that if you focus on getting more money you will succeed in your desire. After a while you notice that your financial situation has not improved. Why? You consciously wanted more money, yet you subconsciously stopped yourself from having more, without even realizing it. This is why you give up, believing the law doesn’t work. You don’t realize that you subconsciously held limiting beliefs about money: beliefs such as, ‘money is the root of all evil’, or ‘money is not important’.

These subconscious beliefs overrode your conscious desire.

You do not make more money by chance or by working hard. Things in life do not happen by chance: you electromagnetically attract everything in life.

Quantum physicists have revealed that everything in our universe is composed of energy, including us. We are vibrating energy beings. Since the Law of Attraction is based on the premise that ‘like attracts like’, the frequency that you vibrate at will always attract what is aligned with it. The critical point to understand here is that what you subconsciously vibrate at is what you get.

It is imperative to ensure that your conscious desires are in line with your subconscious beliefs, otherwise you will attract what you don’t want, and you will relive the belief that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work. To find out what your subconscious beliefs are, pay attention to your ‘but‘. For example, “I want to learn to fly, but I’m scared of flying.” The ‘I’m scared of flying’ is your subconscious belief that you will need to eliminate.

Whatever crops up as the ‘but‘, focus on it, give it your full attention and eliminate it. Focus on your thoughts; stop yourself from limiting beliefs and negative thinking.

If you want money, feel as if you have already achieved this, which is how your thoughts should resonate in your mind.  The feeling IS the prayer…..
