A Truly Outrageous Story

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

About a week ago I came across a remarkable woman with a truly outrageous story of how she rose from the ashes to reach astronomical heights. Never have I seen such vulnerability, honesty, courage and outrageous faith.

When somebody successful try to show us the way we often think, “Yeah right, you had it easy” or “you don’t know what I’m going through.”

 Not so, with this story. As you start to read it you find that you cannot put it down. As Sasha relates on page after page how she made it against all the odds, you start to believe that it is possible that you too can make it.

And that was actually the reason why she wrote her life story. To show each and every person who read it that they can make it too. No matter, how many times you have tried and failed or how many self help books you have read.

May I add that I have never in my life seen so many testimonials of everyday people who couldn’t resist to try it out for themselves and have happily posted their testimonials. If you are reading this and you have not made your dreams come true, then I suggest you check out the outrageous story of Sasha Xarrian here Outrageous Mastery

I can promise you, you have never seen any thing like it.

Why Affirmations Work

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Many people do not believe that affirmations work. So why do affirmations work? If you constantly tell yourself something over and over does your subconscious actually believe it? If you constantly tell yourself over and over that you are not good enough and that you can not do something then you will be afraid to move forward with your goals for fear of failure. This works the same way with positive statements as well.

Sometimes though it may seem as though the positive affirmations you are utilizing may be ineffective because they are not manifesting what you desire. It may not necessarily be the affirmation itself. Take for instance if you constantly tell yourself over and over every morning “I am wealthy, money comes to me freely.” However the whole while you are saying the statement; deep down you do not believe it.

If you constantly tell yourself something however turn around and deep down you do not believe it; and tell yourself it is not true then you will not be able to reach your goals. This is why affirmations do not work. When people beginning utilizing this technique; and do not realize instant results they tend to disregard that the law of attraction actually does work. The law of attraction does work whether you choose to believe it or not.

Positive affirmations are merely statements, and if you can not get your mind to accept them and make yourself believe what you tell yourself; then they have very little power. You must play a little game with your mind, if you want to possess more money and tell yourself constantly that money comes easily to you. Just pretend that it does; you have nothing to lose. If you play this game everyday then eventually opportunities will begin opening up everywhere around you.

If you must rephrase the affirmation so that you do not turn around and reject it because of your belief in it. Instead of saying “I am wealthy and money comes to me easily” just say “wealth comes easily” you have played a game on your mind and taken the word “I” out of the affirmation. After all you can not reject that wealth does come easily. If you take yourself out of the equation then your mind does not seem to reject it.

You must remember the only reason why affirmations do not work; is if you are telling yourself something over and over; then turn around and thing negatively about them. Now you understand how you can make your affirmations far more powerful than what you are currently doing. You are reprogramming your way of thinking positively; so that you can begin attracting everything you desire. Yes you can be do have anything you desire; you must have the belief that you can. Without the belief and the faith you can never achieve anything different. Begin today to train your mind that you believe
you already possess whatever it is you desire. You will be amazed at what your subconscious will bring you.

Correcting “Energy Habits” to Change Your Life

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Everyone develops “energy habits” during their lives, which determines how we respond to the world. If it is a dark filter through which we view life, then we react to stimulus in a negative fashion. If, however, we view the world with trust, hope and optimism; we act on these positive emotions and will attract positive results. Changing your “energy habits” will change your life.

Do you know a complainer or person that erupts with little provocation? Are you subjected daily to someone always depressed who constantly focuses on the negative side of a situation or gossips without relent about others?

These negative energy habits have consequences:

- They attract to the sender negative relationships, ramifications, and a general state of poor health and unhappiness.

- Negative energy emissions poison the Earth’s Energy Bank, contributing to a world poverty, dread, loathing and strife.

Because emotions and thoughts are actual energy emissions, transmitting negative or positive energy imprints our future on the Universe. Today, quantum physics is proving that our emotions and thoughts have a powerful influence on the future. What we think is manifested, thus we are Consciously Creating.

It is essential to construct positive energy habits if you want a happy, healthy, empowering existence. More importantly, positive energy habits create a world of abundance, peace, compassion, love, and environmental balance that we all desire.

So how do we create positive energy habits? Here are some suggestions:

- Be aware of instinctual thoughts and reactions, and how those thoughts and reactions will likely return to you. On a sheet of paper list all of your negative energy habits. Then go back and identify positive energy habits to replace the negative. Now make those positive energy habits your default trait.

- Note the energy habits of others. Emulate the positive ones and use the bad to remind yourself of how you don’t want to react.

- Catch yourself in the act of emitting energy, and then decide if that habit is one you want to continue. If positive, change to the new habit — and pat yourself on the back the first couple times you execute the new trait. Be sure to also forgive yourself if you fall back occasionally to old ways.

- Diplomatically help others eradicate negative energy habits and institute positive ones.

- Notice how your positive energy habits impact others. Don’t be surprised if new, uplifting friends come along, and old chums are happier around you.

You’re on the path to manifesting a better future. Just think how your new way of thinking positively impacts the Universe, planet and all its inhabitants! Your new positive energy habits are like a balm on the world …a soothing ointment making everything better.

Secrecy and the Law of Attraction

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

You’ve been applying the Law of Attraction in your life. You have a great image that you have been focusing on, and you have come into the feeling of ‘knowing’ that the Universe is on the case. You’re excited about your plans and your desires and you just want to shout them from the rooftops. You want everyone to know this great thing called the Law of Attraction and how it is manifesting exactly what you want in your life. Should you be shouting it across the rooftops? Let’s examine.

Have you ever had one of those days when everything is just right? The whole day just seems to be gelling, and you feel great. You tell a colleague about your incredible day and the “well-meaning colleague” says something to you that just hits you wrong, and it makes you feel bad about yourself. So the rest of the day you begin to doubt yourself. The one remark just throws your day off.

Now you’ve entered a state of doubt and soon the feelings of lack set in. This one person, who had no idea that they put any doubt in your head, changed your day. Your feeling of doubt really is your responsibility, whether you accept the remark or not, but this kind of event can throw your thoughts and feelings into a space you don’t want to take them.

This is a reason to keep your enthusiastic thoughts and feelings to yourself while you manifest what you desire. If you are the kind who isn’t affected by someone else’s thoughts, then go ahead and shout. But if you’re like most of us, there will be someone who can throw a wrench into the mix and get you off kilter.

Many famous inventors kept their thoughts and feelings about their inventions to themselves while they were in the process of creating them. Wilbur and Orville Wright, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison (just to name a few) had initially told many about what they were inventing but people didn’t appreciate what they were creating for mankind. They were pegged as crazy, but as we all know the inventions they created changed the world. When they heard what people were saying, they stopped talking about their inventions.

They would work deep into the night so no one would see what they were doing or ask them doubtful questions or offer them unsolicited opinions. If they had taken those opinions to heart would they have made less incredible inventions? They learned early on to keep silent and create until the creation was physically manifested. Even then others didn’t think what they did was possible.

There will always be people in the world who doubt. It’s our responsibility as Law of Attraction practitioners to remember that the others who create doubt in your mind don’t understand what you have found in the Law of Attraction. And their opinions only affect you if you allow them to.

You are like the great inventors of the world, creating a wonderful physical manifestation for your life. So if others affect what you think and feel, then keep it quiet. Be like the great inventors of the world and believe in and build your dream without the sideway glances of others. You can achieve this by being silent. And once your image becomes physically manifested through the Law of Attraction, shout it from the rooftops.

Universal Secrets of Turning Adversity Into Possibilities

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

The secret is this: Napoleon Hill once said “Every adversity carries within it the seed of equal or greater benefit.”

If in the midst of great pain, discouragement or heartbreak you seek that seed and fertilize it, you will eventually overcome adversity and turn it into a university of possibilities.

Think about it. The universe is governed by laws. It is knowledge of these laws and using them to your advantage to achieve your dreams that will determine your life’s path.

One of my favorite universal laws is the law of giving. This lends credence to the idea of asking others, “how may be of service to you?” When we give and expect nothing in return, the universal law of giving operates in a way that you get something in return. There is a constant exchange of energy between you and the universe. When you give, you get.

One word of caution. Universal laws are not meant to be manipulated. If you simply give to get, you cause the flow to stop. When you give with your heart and with no expectations, you will receive much more. What goes out must come back. Such is the dynamic energy that defines life.

Deepak Chopra said in his book “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success” that in every seed is the promise of a thousand forests. But the seed must not be hoarded; it must give its intelligence to the fertile ground.”

The same thing can be said of sharing our knowledge and talents with others so that they may benefit. Perhaps your knowledge and experience will help others shave some time off the learning curve.

Perhaps you have money to give away. Money is a form of energy. If you hoard it, it will not circulate for you. If you want to make more money, give away some of what you have now and watch your abundance grow!

The return is dependent on the amount you give from the heart without any strings attached. Give with joy. Give with faith. Give with confidence that you are not losing anything.

The universal law of giving also covers receiving. Be open to receiving as well as giving. It doesn’t have to be anything materialistic. When someone pays you a compliment, thank that person from the bottom of your heart. If you’re outside and the birds are singing, be thankful for the divine gift of hearing. Be in a grateful frame of mind and open to receiving gifts. It may not come in the form you expect but they are gifts nevertheless. Accept them graciously.

When you give and receive graciously and with gratitude, you allow the universe to keep the circulation flowing.

Food for thought: Where ever you walk today, give someone a gift. It could be a prayer, flower, a compliment. You could send an email to someone you’ve been mentoring with a valuable tip. Provide others with value – find a way to enrichen their lives. It could be a statement of confidence in them. It could be a quote you read in a book that would help someone at that moment. When you receive a gift, accept it with gratitude. Keep the cycle flowing.
