We have a magnificent life sustaining guidance system called emotions.  There are only two real emotions, one feels good and one feels bad.  We give these emotions all different types of names, but when you get down to basics, you either feel good or you feel bad.  As you recognize this guidance system speaks to you in the form of your emotions, then you will recognize that you and you alone have the ability to answer all of your questions.  The greatest resistance, is that many people do not trust the feelings that are coming from within them.  They are afraid to move forward trusting their own guidance system or conscious, because they believe someone else knows more clearly what is appropriate for them.       </p>
<p align="justify">
We, myself included, have been told about a set of rules that were set forth thousands of years ago.  The overall, all inclusive, never changing rules do not exist.  We, you and me, are ever changing, growth seeking beings.  If we observe the environment and the world around us, we would see that many extraordinary events are taking place all the time.  Some of the events we approve of and like, some of the events we disapprove of.  We all have our likes and dislikes and some of everything in between.  Our physical world is very much like the universe in the respect that it has some of everything experienced and some of everything thought of.  &#8220;You are not here to try to get the world to be just like you want it to be.  You are here to create the world around you that you choose - while you allow the world as others choose it to be to exist also.&#8221;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Law-Attraction-Basics-Teachings-Abraham/dp/1401917593/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1261056099&#038;sr=8-1"Target=”_blank”><strong>Abraham-Hicks</strong></a></p>
<p align="justify">
Most of our time is used collecting data from real life experiences, interactions with others and using that data to decide what we want.  Go forth and think about only what you are wanting and you will attract life experience to help you decide what you want.  Once you have decided what you want, give thought only to that.  That is your real work.  &#8220;To first decide what you want and then focus on it.&#8221; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Law-Attraction-Basics-Teachings-Abraham/dp/1401917593/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1261056099&#038;sr=8-1"Target=”_blank”><strong>Abraham-Hicks</strong></a>  For it is through focusing upon what you want that you will attract it.  Giving thought and so much clear thought that you become emotionally involved with those thoughts.  As your thoughts become emotionally charged, you become the most powerful magnet in the universe.  Many of the thoughts that you are thinking will not be powerful in attracting in the beginning.  Not unless you stay focused on them long enough for them to become more in quantity and become emotionally charged.  The more emotionally charged thoughts you have, the more power they produce.  That is the process of creating.  This is a habit you can develop by using affirmations, meditation, and using visualization.  Here is an affirmation to help you find out what you want.  &#8220;I want to know what I want.&#8221;  This will begin to bring experiences in your life which will help you know what you want.  Say it often.  Write it down.  Pay attention to what you are receiving.</p>

<p align="justify">
Develop a deep appreciation and love for yourself and think only good thoughts about you, while giving thanks for all you have and for all that&#8217;s coming.  Thoughts without emotion do not have much magnetic attractive power.  While every thought, has in itself, creative potential or attractive power, thoughts in conjunction with emotion are the most powerful.  Once you understand that, for those of you who are getting much of the same, day in and day out, meeting the same men, getting involved in abusive or dead end relationships, having the same amount of money in the bank every year and more debt, still searching for that dream job, still hating what you are doing now, finding yourself no thinner now than when you started a year ago, your current thoughts are pretty much maintaining what you already have in your life.  In order to effect change in your life experience, thoughts in combination with great emotion are necessary.</p>
<p align="justify">
Are you able to see why it&#8217;s important to spend 10 to 20 minutes everyday deliberately thinking about what you want with powerful passionate, positive, emotion in order to attract experiences into your life that are to your wanting.  Use the greatness that is within all of us to navigate through this life.  Your emotional navigation guidance system.  Spend a little time everyday to attract into your experience, the health, the prosperity, the loving relationships, the interaction with others, the contributions to your community, the vacations you will take, the places you&#8217;ll visit.  Take time to envision all the things that would make up a perfect life experience for you.  See what you want, like it, attract it!  Have fun with this, you are creating your life.</p>

Have you ever had a morning from hell and the rest of your day was much the same?  Do you find yourself getting some of the things you want and some of the things that you don&#8217;t want?  Are your thoughts attracting by default or are you deliberately creating the results you are getting?
</p>
<p align="justify">
I&#8217;ve had those mornings when I got into an argument and the rest of the day went down hill.  I had one bad thought after another and I couldn&#8217;t understand why more bad things continued to happen.  Have you ever used the term, &#8220;birds of a feather flock together?&#8221;  That is your awareness of the <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://lifepassion.net/goto/Law_of_Attraction/2761/1"target="_blank">Law of Attraction</a></strong>.  When you think of something that pleases you, by the Law of Attraction you begin to attract other thoughts that please you.  The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like.  So as I thought of negative events happening to me, I attracted more negative events.  The law is absolute.  I was using the <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://lifepassion.net/goto/Law_of_Attraction/2761/2"target="_blank">Law of Attraction</a></strong>, just not to my advantage.  </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s first start by understanding the <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://lifepassion.net/goto/Law_of_Attraction/2761/3"target="_blank">Law of Attraction</a></strong> and how to apply it.  Understanding the Law of Attraction comes from understanding that your thoughts and feelings create your life.  The way you feel is your point of attraction.  Understanding the Law of Attraction is understanding why you are getting what you are getting.  You begin to understand the <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://lifepassion.net/goto/Law_of_Attraction/2761/4"target="_blank">Law of Attraction</a></strong> more as you view yourself as a magnet attracting what you are thinking about.  Imagine each thought you have as a wave of energy being broadcast out of your body like the ripple effect of a single drop of water into a sink full of water.  With each wave or thought you send out, it is attracting like waves or thoughts. When you add emotion to your thoughts, wants, desires, passion, expectation, the attraction becomes stronger and you begin to attract what you want, desire, expect and are passionate about even faster.  When you feel lonely, you attract more loneliness.  When you feel poor, you attract more poverty. When you feel prosperous, you attract more prosperity. When you feel good, you attract more feelings that make you feel good!  I&#8217;m not suggesting you try to monitor your thoughts.  Scientist say we have about 60,000 thoughts a day.  You may find yourself thinking and in deep thought and not receive the thought that is being offered.  Just as you are deep in thought and may not hear someone speaking to you and they are standing in the same room.  So instead, I suggest that you be sensitive to the feelings that you experience.  There are only two real emotions.  One feels good and one feels bad.  We have given these emotions many different names: depression, unhappiness, joy, pain, guilt; but when it all boils down, one makes you feel good and one makes you feel bad.</p>

<p align="justify">
Are you experiencing getting some of the things you want and some of the things you don&#8217;t want?  I know what you are saying, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t cause that car wreck to happen to me.&#8221;  Do not beat yourself up.  Of course you would not bring bad into your life on purpose.  We sometimes bring things into our lives that we don&#8217;t want by simply thinking about them.  The <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://lifepassion.net/goto/Law_of_Attraction/2761/5"target="_blank">Law of Attraction</a></strong> works to bring negative events into your life just as well as to bring positive events into my life.  That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to know what you want and have a clear picture of it.  This is the process of creation or delibrate creation.  When you begin to notice that what you are thinking about you are getting, then and only then, will you begin wanting to pay attention to, in fact, delibrately controlling your thoughts.  </p>
<p>So, for those of you who do not want negative experiences, once you have recognized that thinking of what you do not want brings it into your experience, controlling your thoughts will become easier as your wanting and desire becomes stronger.  Do not think of that which you do not want.  Do not speak that which you do not want.  The reason so many of you are drawn to subjects with indeliberate intent is because you do not have deliberate intent.  Simply, you don&#8217;t know what you want, or you have a vague unclear picture and you receive vague or unclear results.  Once you have a clear picture of what you want, you must maintain your focus by acting as if your goal is already complete.  This is your work!  Mom, dad, brother, sister, husband, wife, best friend; no one outside of your can think or feel for you, so they can not create for you.  Now that you have an understanding that our thoughts and feelings create our lives. You should only think the best, expect the best and therefore, receive the best.  Have fun with this, you are creating your life!</p>
<p align="justify">
Thoughts are the beginning of all creating.  Whether we are thinking about a future that is 10 years from now or thinking about a future that is 1 hour from now, we are setting forth that thought.  All power is now, in the moment of the emotion and expection!  &#8220;Words do not teach.  It is life experience that gives you your knowing.&#8221;  <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Law-Attraction-Basics-Teachings-Abraham/dp/1401917593/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1261056099&#038;sr=8-1"target="_blank">Abraham-Hicks</a></strong>  So as you are sitting there thinking, but not thinking about anything that brings forth much emotion,  you are attracting more of what you are already getting.  So you have not accessed your potential power.  But as you are thinking of something that does access your emotions, you launch into creation your thoughts and thus, access your potential power.  So take action now and think of only the good that you desire.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><FONT SIZE = 2>By Joy Bing Fleming, MBA</p>
<p>Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Les Hewitt have a best-selling book entitled <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Power-Focus-Greatest-Achievers-Financial/dp/1558747524/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1248801384&#038;sr=1-1#"target="_blank">The Power of Focus</a></strong>, and they have a section about creating an optimum balance between your personal and professional life.  They tell the story of 2 couples that are around the same age, and they both have children.  The 1st couple rarely sees each other.  The husband leaves for work early in the morning before the kids get up, and he gets home at night after the kids go to bed.  So, he never sees his children.  He also works on the weekends, and there never seems to be enough time in the day for him to get everything accomplished.  </p>
<p>The 2nd couple spends a lot of time together.   The husband is always home everynight for dinner.  He rarely works on weekends, and the couple takes a lot of vacations during the year.  I bet there’s a lot of people that can relate to that 1st couple.  You feel like there’s just not enough hours in the day.  So, how do you create a balance between your personal and professional life?</p>
<p>Well, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Les Hewitt created a system called: <strong><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Power-Focus-Greatest-Achievers-Financial/dp/1558747524/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1248801384&#038;sr=1-1#"target="_blank">B-ALERT</a></strong></strong>.  So, what is this<br />
<strong> <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Power-Focus-Greatest-Achievers-Financial/dp/1558747524/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1248801384&#038;sr=1-1#"target="_blank">B-ALERT</a></strong></strong> system all about?</p>
<p><strong>B - BLUEPRINT</strong></p>
<p>“Every well-built house started with a definite plan in the form of blueprints.” Napoleon Hill</p>
<p>You need a set of blueprints for your life.  Make sure that your blueprint includes specific, well planned out actions for your day.  There are 2 options for preparing your daily blueprint.  Either do it the night before or early in the morning before your day has started.  However, research shows that if you create your blueprint the night before, your subconscious mind will actually work during the night figuring out how to fulfill your next day’s plan.  </p>
<p><strong>A – ACTION</strong></p>
<p>“The one thing that separates winners from losers is, winners take action.” Anthony Robbins</p>
<p>Action is an extremely important element of this system.  Please note that there’s a difference between being busy all day and taking well thought out actions.  Many people are busy all day, but at the end of the day, they have nothing to show for it.  Make sure your actions are specific ones that are always bringing you closer to accomplishing your goals.</p>
<p>Focus on those things that you love to do and those things that you do well.  Delegate other routine tasks.  By delegating unwanted projects and other tasks, that will free up your time.    </p>

<p><strong>L – LEARNING</strong></p>
<p>“There are essentially two things that will make you wiser – the books you read and the people you meet.” Charles “Tremendous” Jones</p>
<p>Reading expands your knowledge, builds self-confidence, helps you overcome fears, creates awareness, and helps you to become an even better person.  So, what should you read?  Anything that is stimulating to you and anything that gives you an edge in your business.  </p>
<p>Today, you can get most books on CD, so when you’re driving to work in the morning, just put in one of those CD’s.  That’s an easy way to incorporate books into your life.  </p>
<p>You can also learn from yourself and others.  Think about how you overcame your last challenge.  Observe other people.  How do wealthy people talk?  How do wealthy people live?  Why do some people struggle while others succeed?  Using other people’s experiences as a guide for learning will greatly help you.</p>
<p><strong>E – EXERCISE</strong></p>
<p>“Having all the money in the world isn’t much good if you can hardly get out of bed in the morning to enjoy it.” Author Unknown</p>
<p>Exercising increases your energy levels, relieves stress and anxiety, and promotes good health.  Exercising doesn’t have to be boring.  There are many ways to make it fun.  Get a dance aerobics tape.  Listen to your favorite songs while you exercise.  Join a fitness club.  Workout with friends.  Be creative.  </p>
<p><strong>R – RELAXING</strong></p>
<p>“Oh, to be free from the stifling pressures of life – to rest, a peaceful slumber that will rejuvenate my soul.” Les Hewitt</p>
<p>Everyone needs time to relax and re-charge your batteries during the day.  You can use this time to meditate and visualize what you want in your life.  </p>
<p><strong>T - THINKING</strong></p>
<p>“If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.” Peace Pilgrim</p>
<p>Finally, at the end of the day you need time to reflect.  Take a few minutes to take a mental snapshot of your day (like it’s a mini-movie with you as the star).  How did you do?  What did you do well?  Are there any adjustments you could’ve made to create a better result?</p>
<p>That’s the <strong><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Power-Focus-Greatest-Achievers-Financial/dp/1558747524/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1248801384&#038;sr=1-1#"target="_blank">B-ALERT</a></strong></strong> system.  Here’s an easy way for someone to incorporate it into their life.  Your blueprint is your daily to do list.  Simply create that the night before and make sure it includes well thought out action plans.  Then, everyday, include an &#8220;hour of power” which is 20 minutes of learning/reading, 20 minutes of exercising, and 20 minutes of relaxing.  Finally, at the end of the day, reflect on the events that happened that day.  </p>

Do you know how to ask for what you want in life?  Can you tell me what you want to have, do, and be in life?  Many of us would have to ponder over our answer because we haven&#8217;t given the question the time and thought required for a response.  Would it take you a moment to gather your thoughts?  Even if you knew what you wanted to do, would you ask for help to get started?  Do you know how to ask for help or the right person to ask that can give you what you want?  Asking is one of the most powerful success principles of all.</p>
<p align="justify">
As mentioned in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Aladdin-Factor-Jack-Canfield/dp/0425150755/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1246554612&#038;sr=1-6"Target=”_blank”><strong>&#8220;The Aladdin Factor&#8221; by Jack Canfield</strong></a>, there are five barriers to asking that prevent us from getting what we want.  These five areas are ignorance, limiting and inaccurate beliefs, fear, low self-esteem and pride.</p>
<p align="justify">
The first barrier to asking is ignorance.  Many of us do not know what to ask for.  Either we are unaware to what’s available to us because we have never been exposed to it, or we are so out of touch with ourselves and our emotions that we no longer have the ability to perceive our real needs and wants.  Some of us have become so numb we are simply unaware of our natural yearnings and desires.  We no longer know what we really want.  We have never learned the process of making an effective request.  We did not see this communicated effectively in our homes, nor taught how to effectively communicate in school or at work.  “The expression of our desires may have threatened, embarrassed or in some other way made our parents feel uncomfortable.” “It may have been that we were asking for things that they didn’t get as children, and subconsciously they resented us for asking.” <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Success-Principles-TM-Where-Want/dp/0060594896/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1246554303&#038;sr=1-1"Target=”_blank”><strong>Jack Canfield</strong></a></p>
<p align="justify">
The second barrier to asking is limiting and inaccurate beliefs.  We all have been programmed by our parents, our teachers, society, the media, and peers.  We can become clutched by this parental and societal conditioning.  We have learned from our failures and our traumatic experiences in life that if you don’t want too much, then you won’t be disappointed.  We are programmed by our parents.  Many of us grew up in homes where what we wanted was ignored, overlooked, or made fun of.  We are programmed at school by out teachers.  We are told to do your own work and that getting help from someone is cheating.  We learn very quickly that it is not okay to ask a stupid question.  We are programmed by the major media.    Men are commonly viewed as macho, not showing any emotions or crying, being a loner and not showing weaknesses.  We are conditioned by our religious training.  We are programmed by our doctors.  Very early we learn to do what the doctor says and not ask questions.

<p align="justify">
Fear is another barrier to asking that holds us back.  Fear is defined as false experiences appearing real or fantasized experiences appearing real.  We have become afraid of rejection, being abandoned, feelings of unworthiness, being punished, looking foolish, losing face and being hurt be others.  We have become passive.  We settle for less than we really want and we sit in judgment of those who are getting what we want.</p>
<p align="justify">
Low self esteem is the fourth barrier to asking for what you want.  According to several recent studies, only one out of three of us has high self-esteem.  We are suffering from a national epidemic of low self-esteem.  I could attest to that.  I was picked on in school by the other kids.  I wore glasses and got the standard “four eyes” comment.  I felt unworthy of love, happiness and inadequate to create the kind of life I wanted.  I felt alone and depressed and did not share my thoughts and feelings with anyone.  I begin to feel as though my needs and wants were not important and worthy of pursuing.  I wanted to please others and set aside my feelings.  When I didn’t get what I wanted from the important people in my life, I concluded that what I wanted was not important.  We may take it a step further and develop the idea that other people’s needs and wants are more important than our own.  At that point we stop asking for anything.</p>
<p align="justify">
Finally, pride tops the list of five barriers to asking.  We are afraid to appear needy and weak.  We are programmed in pride, to have guts and glory.  We are supposed to be able to figure it out by ourselves.  I admit to being controlled by my pride.  I can recall being arrogant and not admitting to needing anyone or anything.  We as men, are convinced that we must do everything ourselves and do it right the first time.</p>
<p align="justify">
So how do you ask for what you want?  Ask as if you expect to get it.  Ask with positive expectation.  Ask from the place that you have already been given it.  Ask as if you expect to get a yes.  If you are going to assume, assume for yourself and not against yourself.  Do not ever assume against yourself.  Assume you can.  You want to ask someone who can give you what you want.  Make sure you are asking the decision maker or the right person.  You need to be clear and specific about what you want.  The key here is not to think about whether or not something is possible, but simply whether or not you want it.  And ask repeatedly.  You started out as a baby knowing exactly what you wanted.  You devoured the food you wanted, you spit out what you didn’t want.  You cried loudly until you got what you wanted with no inhibitions or holding back.  You crawled toward what held your attention.  You had everything inside you to get fed, changed, or held.  You knew exactly what to do to get what you wanted.  Even without speech, you were able to communicate your needs and wants.  Now you are much older and capable of expressing yourself openly and clearly.  &#8220;You can&#8217;t ask for what you want unless you know what it is.  A lot of people don&#8217;t know what they want or they want much less than they deserve.  First you have to figure out what you want.  Second, you have to decide that you deserve it.  Third, you have to believe you can get it.  And fourth, you have to have the guts to ask for it.&#8221;  Barbara De Angelis</p>

Acting as if means thinking like, talking like, dressing like, acting like and feeling like the person you will be when you have already completed your goal.  Be, do and have everything you want starting now!  You can begin right now to act as if you have already achieved a goal that you desire.</p>
<p align="justify">
How would you act if you were a best selling author, a highly paid consultant, a millionaire, top selling agent, world renown artist or the owner of a company?  How would you think and walk?  How would you treat others?  How would you dress, where would you eat, buy clothes or vacation?  How would you handle money?  Really take time to answer these questions with images, feelings, emotions and smells associated with actually doing what you want to do.  Once you have a clear picture of that, start being it now.  The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://lifepassion.net/goto/law_of_attraction/2678/1"Target=”_blank”><strong>law of attraction</strong></a> simply states that like attracts like.  The more you create the vibration, the mental and emotional states of already having something, the faster you attract it to you.    </p>

Successful people exude self confidence.  They ask for what they want and say what they want.  They think anything is possible.  They take risks and celebrate when the time is right.  You can do all of these things presently, before you make it big.  These things do not require money, just intention.  As soon as you start acting as if, you will begin to attract the people, places, circumstances and events that will contribute to you achieving them in real life.  Start now and be who you want to be.  Take the actions that go along with being that person and soon you will find that you have everything you want in life.  You will experience abundance in all aspects; health, wealth, love, and meaningful relationships.</p>
<p align="justify">
The most important thing to do is take action now.  “The world doesn’t pay you for what you know, it pays you for what you do.” <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Success-Principles-TM-Where-Want/dp/0060594896/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1246554303&#038;sr=1-1"Target=”_blank”><strong>Jack Canfield</strong> </a>Many people get stuck in a rut of analyzing, planning and organizing.  Getting started will bring into your life all kinds of things that will take you closer to your desired result.  People with similar goals with align with you.  You will receive feedback on how you can do things better.  You will begin to learn things from your experience that you can’t learn from reading books.  You will attract others that will support and help you accomplish your goal.  Things will become easier.  All manner of good things will flow into your life when you take action.</p>

Have we become conditioned to believe only what we see outside of us and ignore our inner self?  Have we allowed the &#8220;inner me&#8221; to become the enemy?  People wish for things all the time.  Wishes are desires with no energy.  So a wish will not cause the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://lifepassion.net/goto/law_of_attraction_/2645/1"Target=”_blank"><strong>law of attraction </strong></a>to work.  Not unless you will yourself to act until you get your wish.  The will is holding the mental image or feeling the emotions of having what you want and acting as if you have it.  That brings intent into the equation and intent is the catalyst that brings the law into life. </p>
<p align="justify">
My intentions are to bring you to the awareness of your thoughts and the images that habitaully occupy your mind.  Your mind sees your thoughts as images not in words.  When you think of eating a bowl of ice cream you immediately see a picture.  Someone saw an image of the clothing you are wearing.  Someone invisioned the car you are driving, the oven you use and the bed you sleep on.  &#8220;All the forms that a person fashions with his or her hands must first emerge from thought.&#8221;  <a href="http://lifepassion.net/goto/SGR-Program"Target=”_blank”><strong>Bob Proctor</strong></a>  As you see the picture in your mind and feel it, you bring yourself to a place of believing you have what you want now.  So if you are constantly thinking, envisioning, and emotionally envolved or feeling the images that form your thoughts, you are attracting those images in your life. </p>

One techniques you can use to bombarde your mind with new thoughts and images (in order to help with visualization) is the use of affirmations.  Jack Canfield mentions in his <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Success-Principles-TM-Where-Want/dp/0060594896/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1246554303&#038;sr=1-1"Target=”_blank”><strong>Success Principles</strong></a> that an affirmation is a statement about a goal in it&#8217;s completed state.  &#8220;I am feeling light and alive at my ideal weight of 175.&#8221;  &#8220;I am enjoying driving on the Amafi Coast in my new CL65 AMG Black Series.&#8221;  You can envision having a trim and fit body, several large bank accounts, regular trips to exotic lands or enjoying a ten day getaway on Turtle Island. Stand in front of a mirror and give yourself a self talk by repeating affirmations. This can tremendously increase your self esteem, create focus and discipline and provide and maintain momentum when things get tough. Focus on the end result and experiencing the feeling of having what you want. “Picture it in your mind and see it as done. Your feelings are receiving it as done. Your mind and your entire state of being are seeing it as already happened.”  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1582701709/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1246554703&#038;sr=1-1" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.amazon.com/Secret-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1582701709/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8_038_s=books_038_qid=1246554703_038_sr=1-1&amp;referer=');"><strong>Rhonda Byrne </strong></a></p>
<p align="justify">
This is a process you should enjoy and have fun with.  Imagine, pretend, make believe and act as if.  Do whatever you have to do to create the feeling of having what you want.  Make it a point to set aside time to meditate everyday on your goals.  3 to 10 mintues to start and then build on that.  Envision yourself enjoying what it is you desire.  What feelings, noises, sensations and smells are associated with your vision.  Take time to complete you vision and be detailed about it.  Vague ideas produce vague results.  So make your visions as expansive and colorful as you choose.  </p>

Why is choice a function of awareness?  How do you act in a certain way to bring about wealth, health, abundance and prosperity?  What causes one person in a particular business to get rich while his counterpart, in the same business, doing things in the same way remains poor?  There is a <strong><a href="http://lifepassion.net/goto/The-Science-of-Getting-Rich"target="_blank">science of getting rich</a></strong>.  It’s an exact science like arithmetic.</p>
<p align="justify">
We were given the power of choice or free will.  In so far as we know, we are the only animals on earth with this ability.  Using your will or power of choice strengthens your thought awareness.  The law of attraction will bring to you that which is unwanted as surely as it will bring to you that which you do want.  Consider the time you spend thinking about what you don’t want.  The visions you have of what you don’t want, becoming emotionally involved in what you don’t want.  Any time you spend thinking of conditions or situations you don’t want you are attracting it to you.  Only see the good that you desire.  What you see or think in your mind controls your vibration or feelings and that dictates what you will attract. </p>
<p align="justify">
How do you <strong><a href="http://lifepassion.net/goto/The-SGR-Program"target="_blank">act in a certain way</a></strong>?  Ask yourself these questions several times throughout your day.  How do I feel, what am I thinking about?   This will automatically bring your thought awareness to the present.  You are in a state of awareness when you begin to recognize that your thoughts, to some degree, influence the world around you.  Awareness is a function of choice. You decide to live your life or allow life to live you.  Decide what you want to have, do and be.  Your thoughts become things.  So we should only think about the good that we desire. </p>

<p align="justify">
A person in a particular business can get rich while his counterpart, in the same business, doing the things the same way remains poor by thinking, envisioning, and expecting things to happen as he desires.  Decide what you want, believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, believe that it’s possible for you.  This is thinking and acting in a certain way. </p>
<p align="justify">
Each day, set aside time to close your eyes and visualize yourself already having what you want.  Use your imagination, pretend and use your will to hold the vision of wrapping your fingers around the steering wheel of your brand new car.  While you are in the tub, imagine yourself relaxing in the Jacuzzi at your new house on the coast.  You’ve got to create the feeling of having it.  Transition your thoughts to take the form of giving thanks for all the fond memories, places you&#8217;ve been and will go, the people you love and all the things that make you happy.  Have fun with this!  You’re creating your life!</p>

<p>It&#8217;s true, no one likes hearing or being told no.  Or so we&#8217;ve been taught.  Going for no is a very new and innovative concept.  Is no any different from yes?  Is failure any different than success?  Your actions and intention were focused on a particular result.  You did not get the result you wanted.  You think about what you did, you make an adjustment, and do it again to get the desired result.  It took the same effort to fail or get a result as it did to get the desired result.  </p>
<p>The book “<strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Go-Richard-Fenton-Andrea-Waltz/dp/0966398130/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1246554781&#038;sr=1-1"target="_blank">Go For No</a></strong>” by Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz expresses the complex simplicity of the word no.  We all naturally gravitate toward nurture, affection and love.  These words invoke very powerful emotions.  The word “no” can be like a kick in the face.  </p>
<p>This concept points out &#8220;that hearing yes is the easy part of the job and teaches you virtually nothing.  But learning to hear no over and over again and to never quit&#8230;now that builds character and self-esteem.  That&#8217;s empowering!&#8221; <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Go-Richard-Fenton-Andrea-Waltz/dp/0966398130/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1246554781&#038;sr=1-1"target="_blank">Richard Fenton  </a></strong></p>
<p>Where is it written that rejection has to be awful?  What if you decided to look at rejection as annoying or amusing or, for that matter, exciting and energizing?  We have absolutely no control over the actions of others, we do have total and complete control over how we react.  So we can decide to stop and think and then react.<br />

Let&#8217;s say you set a goal for the week of 5 sales.  Let&#8217;s also say you see 25 prospects every week.  Instead of you setting a goal of getting five yes&#8217;s, your goal is to get a minimum of 20 no&#8217;s.  For individuals in the sales industry, this is one way of many to turn rejection or the word no into empowerment.  This would not only increase the number of prospects but provide you more opportunities to get a yes.  </p>
<p>Another benefit of setting no as a goal, it permanently puts you in position to be a top producer especially when you are in a zone or on a hot streak.  Normally when someone is on a hot streak, they slack up or ease back, and that&#8217;s the worst thing you can do.  You want to keep the momentum going.  When you are going for no and you hit a streak of yes&#8217;s, you will actually step up you game to hit your no goal.  When you think about it, it’s really no different in the pursuit of yes.  How many times is a person willing to fail before succeeding?  How much failure can you endure on the road to success?  Decide to look at failure as a success and you&#8217;ve won the battle in your mind.  The same effort is used to get a result.<br />

<p>Financial freedom comes to the person who saves ten percent or more of his income throughout his lifetime. </p>
<p>One of the smartest things that you can ever do for yourself is to develop the habit of saving part of your salary, every single paycheck. Individuals, families and even societies are stable and prosperous to the degree to which they have high savings rates. Savings today are what guarantee the security and the possibilities of tomorrow.</p>
<p><strong>Start With Yourself</strong><br />
The first corollary of the Law of Saving comes from the book The Richest Man in Babylon by George Classon. It is to &#8220;Pay yourself first.&#8221;</p>
<p>Begin today to save ten percent of your earnings, off the top, and never touch it. This is your fund for long-term financial accumulation and you never use it for any other reason except to assure your financial future.</p>
<p><strong>Develop New Habits Regarding Money</strong><br />
The remarkable thing is that when you pay yourself first, and force yourself to live on the other ninety percent, you will soon become accustomed to it. You are a creature of habit. When you regularly put away ten percent of your earnings, you soon become comfortable living on the other ninety percent. Many people start by saving ten percent of their income and then graduate to saving fifteen percent, twenty percent, and even more. And their financial lives change dramatically as a result. So will yours.<br />

<strong>Take Every Advantage</strong><br />
The second corollary of the Law of Saving says, &#8220;Take advantage of tax deferred savings and investment plans.&#8221; Because of high and even multiple tax rates, money that is saved or invested without being taxed accumulates at a rate of 30% to 40% faster than money that is subject to taxation. Self-made millionaires, according to Dr Thomas Stanley&#8217;s book The Millionaire Next Door, are almost obsessive about accumulating their funds in assets such as real estate, self owned businesses and equities that increase in value without triggering tax liabilities.</p>
<p>Invest in company pension and retirement plans, 401(k) plans, IRA&#8217;s, Keough Plans, Roth IRA&#8217;s, Education Investment Accounts, stock option programs and whatever else has been approved by the IRS for long term financial accumulation. Make every dollar count!</p>
<p><strong>Action Exercises</strong><br />
Here are two things you can do to apply this law immediately:</p>
<p>First, begin today to put away ten percent of your earnings. Set up a special account for this purpose and treat your contributions to this account with the same respect that you do your rent or mortgage payments each month.</p>
<p>Second, become a lifelong student of money. Read the best books, take courses and subscribe to the most helpful magazines. Know what you are doing so you can always make intelligent decisions when you invest your funds.</p>
