When one begins to consciously create their life so as to manifest and experience their desires it is important to understand the “Be Do Have” process. No matter what one desires, they must first “be” it, become it, then follow the inspired action steps to “do” it and then and only then will one “have” it.
Everything is created energetically before it ever manifests. You have to become the energetic equivalent of that which you desire first. So to “be” what one desires you have to become of the same vibrations/frequency of that which you desire. One way to do that is to visualize your desires to the point that you allow yourself to feel the joy that this desire will bring you. You feel the joy and happiness before it manifests. You have to come from the place of being the real you. You do not want to become attached to the specifics of what you are visualizing but to the energy, the vibration, the frequency, they feeling of what you are visualizing. To become energetically that which you desire also means one has to remove any outdated beliefs one may have been taught but no longer applies. If you have beliefs that do not feel good to you, do not reflect that which you are and or that which you want they must be replaced with one that does. How you view yourself, others, the world, life itself all affect your ability to become who you really are and the desires that reflect that. If you really love large cars but your thoughts and beliefs are otherwise like large cars are for greedy people, they use too much gas and I can’t afford it. Those thoughts will limit and block you from being, from becoming who you really are. Energetically you are the same as your love for that large car. You are how that feels to you on a vibrational/frequency level. The real you and the feeling are one in the same.
Once this occurs then the “do” becomes rather clear. When your vibrations/frequency reflect the desire, in that space is where you will hear your inspired thoughts, hear what your “gut” is telling you. Where your inspiration resides and where sense of knowing resides. Your actions reflect what you are feeling. What you say reflects your new beliefs. You then need to trust what you are inspired to do. Often we do not do that or we do for awhile then when the results do not happen fast enough we start to question and doubt. We sometimes become distracted and move in another direction with our focus. Where focus goes, energy flows. So you must keep your focus on your desire. Sometimes we will feel inspired to do something but can not see how it will lead to our desire manifesting. There are those who want to know the result before they follow any action steps they may feel inspired to do. There are also those who think they have to come up with the actions from their logical mind. The answers you seek as to how to do what it is you want to do reside with in you. The answers will come to you. You have to hear them, listen to them and follow them where ever they may lead you because ultimately it leads to your desire manifesting.
Manifesting or “having” is a process. You are always manifesting. You always “have” something. Sometimes what you “have” is not what you want. In every moment of every day you are always living your manifestations of what you have already energetically created. The “have” we are talking about here is “having” or manifesting with intent, on purpose, deliberately or consciously. What you desire manifests, unfolds through the course of time so that you can enjoy the journey to get there. It expands in its expression so that you can experience it and live it. The having is a journey to and towards. All along the way you have opportunities to strengthen, tweak, add and expand upon your desires. It is always on ongoing process. You are always being, doing and having. There are unlimited ways in which a desire can manifest in order for to “have” it. Be open to this and do not think you have to figure all that out. You will naturally lead yourself right towards it. Enjoy it as this leads to greater appreciation for all that you do have! That leads to greater manifestations for that which you want. It is all limitless!!!!!

Feeling Stressed?
Stress seems to be one of things we all have experienced at one time or another. Many of us experience it on a daily basis while others only during certain times of our lives. Why is it that some seem to be less effected by stress than others? Why are some people so stressed out daily just from living? One thing is for sure, we all seem to know what it feels like and what effect it has on us. It is such a common experience that it just seems to be the norm if you are living in these modern times. The question is, just because it is common does that mean it is normal? My answer to that is no.
The most common perception and belief about stress is that the cause is some external pressure, that the source of the stress resides outside of your self, that some person, event or experience is the cause of the stress you are experiencing and to relieve the stress you need to change this sometimes unknown external force.
Most stress advice tells you to identify the source of your stress, look at your current coping methods before moving onto how to manage it. Typical management tips revolve around things that alter the experience like avoiding the people, experiences that are your source, cut down your to do list or managing your time better. Ever try to do these things but still feel stress? When you are stressed can you really see the big picture and be appreciative of the things in your life?
The reason why most stress management techniques do not work is because of where you see the stress coming from. Stress is not an external force coming from somebody or some other thing other than YOU. You are the source and as such you create your own stress. Stress is energy. This energy is caused when your thoughts, beliefs and emotions reflect something other than who you really are. So you have 2 different energies running around within and these 2 energies are not harmonious and in conflict with each other. If this continues long enough you get the physical symptoms of stress.
So here is an example of this works. If there is one thing that causes stress it is money matters. Your beliefs, thoughts and emotions that reflect not enough money, fear that there will not be enough money etc have a vibration/energy to them. Your desires to have more money, financial freedom, stability, or wealth also have energy/vibration to them. Those 2 energies are different and not harmonious. So you have the energy of the desires and the energy of beliefs and thoughts about those desires. If they are not harmonious with each other, are not aligned with each other, they then conflict with each other thus producing stress. Thus the physical symptoms you have of stress become indicators of stress. Where in your body you experience the stress indicates what beliefs and thoughts are in conflict with what you desire. As this relates to money, low back issues are an indicator of stress due to money concerns.
In order for any stress management technique you adopt to really work for you, you must get to the energy/ vibrational cause of the stress. You must shift that energy first then apply the techniques. You must change your thoughts, beliefs and perspective first. Ask yourself what is it that I believe about money? Now ask yourself, what is that I want to believe? In your answers can you feel the stress between those 2 thoughts? They feel different do they not? Which one feels better? Which one are you always focusing on? Which one should you focus on? Allow that better feeling to become a part of you. Now again ask yourself what is it that you believe about money?
Stress is not produced by any outside or external person, event or experience but by you. You are the source of your own stress and you are the one that can do something about it. Trying to change the external, the other will not relieve you of your stress. Only when you shift your energies will you get the relief you seek.

Feel Good Now
Many of us wait until we are feeling really bad before we decide we want to do something about it. We wait until we are depressed, fed up, unhappy, miserable and just can’t take it any more. We get tired of feeling the way we are feeling and then we wake up and decide it is time for a change. My question is why wait so long?
Then there are those of us who are feeling pretty good and figure we are feeling good enough. Like there is a limit or something as to how good you can feel. It is like we are saying I am going to feel this good and no more.
There is no limit on how good you can feel and a limitless number of ways you can feel good. There any number of things you can do to feel better. Feel better can be a stepping stone to feeling good. Just changing something in your life won’t do it. While you may feel better in the short term, it does not produce any lasting results. The reason for this is that you have not shifted your energy or vibrations but just placed a band aide on it. You have covered it up so to speak. Think about the times you were in a negative space and went shopping, had some drinks, read a book, went out into nature or whatever it is you do to try to feel better. Did that produce any lasting changes? There is something to be said about these activities. They do not produce any lasting results but they do create a space from which you can begin to get yourself into a better feeling space.
It is entirely possible to feel good right in this very moment. It is just a matter of perspective. It is a matter of shifting from where you are at to a better feeling place. So how does one do that? You have to create an internal change. You can set an intent that you are open to new opportunities that reflect how good you want to feel. You can visualize different experiences that reflect how good you want to feel. You have to look at what your emotions are telling you. You choose, you decide how good you want to feel. Be open to new ways of expressing who you really are. Make feeling good important to you.
How do you express who you really are so that you can experience that good feeling?

What do you Expect?
Expectation is closely related to knowing. It is a stepping stone to being in a state of knowing. It is more than being hopeful and certainly leads to experiencing more joy. There is much to be said for feeling a positive expectation. There is also much misunderstood about having a positive expectation.
Positive expectation means that you are looking forward, with a positive view point, towards the manifestation of a desire. Ones thoughts, perspective, beliefs and emotions all need to reflect this positive expectation. That is the real trick to experiencing a positive expectation. If you have a positive a positive expectation you also must allow yourself to experience that expectation.
Where we all get tripped up is we tend to be afraid to allow this because we do not want to be disappointed. Once that occurs, because of the way the Law of Attraction works, you will experience disappointment because that is where you have placed your focus. You thoughts, beliefs and emotions reflect not wanting to be disappointed which means you are focused on disappointment. Your focus needs to be placed on what you want to positively expect.
You can say you expect that a certain desire will manifest but if you believe otherwise, think otherwise and feel otherwise then you will manifest otherwise. Then when you experience disappointment as a result you say it was because you expected the desire to manifest and it did not. It is not the expectation that is the root of the disappointment. It is because of the fears that limited and blocked you from allowing yourself to experiencing the positive expectation of the desire manifesting.
Sometimes we have desires and positive expectations for others and in doing so experience disappointment when that desire does not manifest. There are several reasons for this. The first is we can only create for ourselves. The Law of Attraction responds to you and the energy and vibrations of what you are believing, thinking and feeling. When we have desires for another we tend to place that expectation on them and expect them to create what we desire for them. When they do not, we become disappointed and hurt. There are times when we have expectation and desires for another just so we can feel better.
It is ok and in fact a “good thing” to have positive expectations. Just release the emotional attachment to the outcome or result. Allow yourself to experience positive expectations as your stepping stone to being in a state of knowing. Release fears, shift the thoughts and beliefs that limit and block you and you will be able to experience positive expectations and manifest that which you desire.

Anything is Possible by Monica Garcia
Anything is Possible
I believe anything is possible
when you decide to live your life
with passion and purpose
with only Love
at the forefront of your life
releasing yourself from the past
and living only in the present moment
Embracing unwavering faith
and unbreakable hope
knowing failure is not an option
and giving up is not a choice
You finally reach that point
where your fears lose power over you
and you forge ahead anyway
keeping your eyes fixed on the
light at the end of the tunnel
knowing your goals clearly and definitely
Believing in your heart and mind
that good awaits you because
you deserve it - it's already yours
Understanding that strength and endurance
are born from deep within you
and they expand effortlessly outward in your life
spilling out and inspiring others
who happen to cross paths with you
Once you decide to use your God given gifts
and abilities for the greater good
to provide something positive
something of significance and service to others
just to make a difference in the world
Everything changes
Everything falls into place
Doors open magically
and suddenly
the Universe conspires to make your greatest
dreams come true...
Like I said... Anything is possible

It is All About You
It is All About You
The Ego as an Indicator.
Many who are on a spiritual journey speak of the ego as a bad thing and how one must overcome it, rail against it, lessen its grip or hold over one. We prefer to think of the ego as an indicator. As an indicator it is telling you something so that you become more aware and are able to shift your perspective more to the center of self. The problem with the ego though is that it can blind one from seeing clearly. Because the ego has it roots in fear it is sometimes easier to address the fear rather than the ego reaction. The ego reaction is just telling you that you are reacting to some fear and are trying to protect yourself from an unknown danger. This ego reaction is basic and primal to humankind but when you shift your perspective on it, you can begin to see the role of the ego in a whole new light and your fear reactions become less severe. When you react in fear and you become aware of your ego reaction it is an opportunity for more awareness and a greater understanding of who you really are. It is in this fashion the ego and ego reactions are indicators for you.
If you do not feel very good about yourself, feel some level of powerlessness, your ego will tell you otherwise. It shows up as conceit, egotistical or narcissism in extreme forms. Your ego becomes your protection from the feelings you have. It puts a wall around them. However, on an energy level you still have those vibrations that reflect how you feel about yourself. You then have the energy of the thoughts that come from your ego protective state. Your reality becomes a reflection of these energies, the interplay of these energies that the Law of Attraction reflects back at you.
This protective state becomes difficult to maintain and one experiences a crash and the feelings underneath come flooding out. This experience is an opportunity to shift ones focus, expand ones perspective so that ones vibration and frequencies will raise and create a new reality as the result.
You can break your cycle once you realize that the ego is just an indicator of beliefs based in fear.

The Illusion of Lack
There is a common belief that lack exists in our world. By lack we mean there is not enough of something or it is limited in its quantity. This is evident in the idea that there is a limited supply of just about anything you can think of like food, money, oil, cars etc. Some actually believe that “in order for me to have something then somebody else is going to go without”. As a society we have a whole system set up to count or measure the amount of anything. We then use that system as proof that there is a limited supply. Unless one is willing to see beyond what they see with their actual eyes they may not ever realize there is so much more.
This concept of lack or limitation is not only seen in the material things of our world but also within each individual. Do you think that you do not have patience or strength or love or friendship? Do you think you can only be so happy? If you are experiencing a stressful or trying situation and you feel that you do not have the strength to endure, the patience to cope, then you have a belief that you lack that which you want.
This belief is so predominate within us and society that it could be called a core belief and as such it is ones programming for how they view the world. Some might call this a subconscious belief for while you have this belief you may not be aware of it nor aware of the impact it has on your life. It operates on automatic or so it seems.
We call this an illusion because this belief is based in what one perceives with ones eyes or has come to know through experience but because we are powerful creators, we do not realize we are the ones creating this based on a belief that there is not enough of everything for everybody. It becomes a vicious cycle…you believe in a limit, a reality is created based on that belief and then through the Law of Attraction it is reflected back at you thereby offering proof or a confirmation that your belief is accurate.
We look at war and say we desire peace. We say there is no peace because we have war. Just because we have war does not mean that peace is absent or does not exist. It is there for despite war in one area many more are at peace. Just because we see violence in our society and count how often this occurs does not mean there is no peace for there are so many more living in peace. However we see the war and the violence and make a broad statement that our society is a violent society. This is a limiting perspective based on a set of criteria that is limiting in its scope. It gives us a skewed perspective. As an example if the violent crime rate for a city is 17, that means 17 out of 1,000 people experienced a violent crime. It is weighed based the entire population of that city. Sounds logical, doesn’t it?
What it is really doing is just reflecting back at us our belief that we have a violent society. How you react to this is an indicator as to if you have a belief that there is a lack of peace. How you judge this “fact” is an indicator of you have a belief in lack of peace. We actually have a society where both exist at the same time. It is when we try to quantify the “how much” of each exist that we run into trouble and begin to limit our perspective.
When you adopt the belief that the Universe as well as our world and us as individuals is always expanding it open you up to the limitless, the infiniteness of all that is. It becomes your perspective and effects how you view your world. You no longer rely on your eyes to confirm what you have come to believe. You become aware that all that you desire, you already are. That it all exists within you. You come to realize that you already are that which you want. You start to believe that you can be, do and have anything you desire from within.
This concept of lack or limitation is not only seen in the material things of our world but also within each individual. Do you think that you do not have patience or strength or love or friendship? Do you think you can only be so happy?

We are Always Allowing
You may not realize this but everything that makes up your life, all those so many experiences you have, all the “stuff” in your life, is there because you have allowed it to be. It is the only way anything can manifest into your life. However what we tend to do is react as if all this stuff, all those experiences happen because of something else other than ourselves. Sometimes we are aware of what we are allowing to be but most of the time we are not because we never take the time to think about it. When you intently or deliberate allow with awareness and from desire...ah…now that is self empowerment!
A common belief is that through the Law of Attraction we “Attract” experiences, our stuff into our life. That is only part of it. The other part is how we allow it to manifest. When we want to manifest something we want, the allowing comes easy and we do it without thinking. When something manifests that we do not want or we think we do not want it we question how could this happen because there is no way we would attract something like this on purpose and for sure would never allow it to be on purpose had we known. That is the point….had you known…which means consciously, with intent and awareness.
So how is it we “allow”? Where ever you place your focus and attention is where your energy goes. Your energy then mirrors or becomes a match to the energy of what you are focusing and paying attention to. We refer to this as vibational alignment. When you are in vibrational alignment with something then you are allowing it to be for nothing can not manifest without this vibrational alignment. We are always vibrationally aligned with something.
Your emotions are a wonderful way of knowing, vibrationally speaking, what you are allowing. They are our internal guidance system. If you place your focus and attention onto something with a low vibration, we experience it through our emotions and we feel it as a fear based emotion such a anger, boredom, unhappiness or sadness to name a few. The same holds true for the higher vibrations we align with when our focus and attention is on something we desire. We experience it through our emotions such as love, joy, happiness or passion to name a few.
We have a free tool that will help you in determining what range of vibrations you are currently aligning with and what you are therefore allowing to manifest. We call it Determining Your Vibrational Range Sheet. It is easy to use and if you are honest with yourself, you will have an increase awareness of what you are aligning with and allowing to manifest based on your emotions as indicators. We will be happy to share this with you and all you have to do is email us at itsc2008@aol.com and we will be happy to send it to you.

Balance In Your Life
Many may say that you can not balance your life. Many say that this is just not possible because there are just too many aspects of our lives that are ever changing. Our goals and desires are in a constant state of flux. When one goal is achieved or one desire has manifested it is replaced by many more. Change is happening all the time. However there is balance that already exists despite the ever changing environment of our lives.
Balance does not exist in your external world but it does exist in your internal world. What we mean by this is that if you are looking at all that goes on around you and you are trying to achieve balance from that perspective you will most like feel very frustrated. Where the balance does exist is in being centered in self. It is in your perspective as to how you view what is occurring in your life. It exists in your approach to things.
When you are balanced within yourself, when you are in harmony with yourself then your life, your external world will be balanced despite any apparent chaos that may be occurring. The chaos, the multitude of tasks we all face in our day to day lives, the goals and desires we all have are a reflection of what we are creating. How we perceive this, how we emotionally react is a reflection of where we are at in relation to being self centered.
So what does it mean to be centered in self? This means that you view your self as a whole complete being comprised of body, mind and spirit. This means that you are united in acceptance with yourself. This means you are in harmony with yourself. This means your perspective is clear and not clouded by fear based emotions and beliefs. To be centered in self is your natural state. From there it becomes a matter of are you experiencing it or not. Being centered in self is not to be achieved, it is to be experienced. The same is said of balance in your life.
If you are trying to juggle all the aspects of your life along with your goals and desires, if you are trying to focus on many things all at the same time, you are more than likely not experiencing balance and being centered in self. You are looking at all those things and trying to control and achieve rather than allow them to come to you. The balance is not in the juggling. In fact you do not have to juggle at all.
The key to experiencing balance in your life and to be centered in self is to have a balanced perspective, a balanced approach where you are experiencing harmony. To experience this you can not try to change what is happening in your life but change internally as to how to view what is happening, shifting your perspective to one that feels better, changing your focus onto how you feel rather than all that is going on around you. Your perspective shifts to looking inward out to the external world, rather than looking outward and then into your internal world.
You are the source of your own experience of balance in your life. You can allow yourself to experience that balance by letting go of trying to control your external world so that you feel balanced. The minute you try to control anything but yourself, you are not centered in self and therefore will not experience balance. The feeling of balance does not reside outside of you but within you. You do not need things to be a certain way in order to feel or achieve balance. The feeling of balance is within you and can be experienced when you allow it.
Please share with us your experiences with balance in your life.
Balance does not exist in your external world but it does exist in your internal world. What we mean by this is that if you are looking at all that goes on around you and you are trying to achieve balance from that perspective you will most like feel very frustrated. Where the balance does exist is in being centered in self. It is in your perspective as to how you view what is occurring in your life. It exists in your approach to things.
When you are balanced within yourself, when you are in harmony with yourself then your life, your external world will be balanced despite any apparent chaos that may be occurring. The chaos, the multitude of tasks we all face in our day to day lives, the goals and desires we all have are a reflection of what we are creating. How we perceive this, how we emotionally react is a reflection of where we are at in relation to being self centered.

How Fast Will My “Stuff” Show Up
One of the most frequently asked question we have come upon is “How long is it going to take for my stuff to show up?” The most common answer to this is often, “As fast as you can line up with what you want, then it show up.” That is neither a very satisfying answer nor a complete one, from our perspective. This type of answer tends to lead one in a direction away from their desire as they begin to question and doubt what they are doing. In the moment you question and doubt you have moved yourself away vibrationally and emotionally from your desire.
The most prevalent understanding of how the manifesting process works is that once one is all lined up with their desire, they are visualizing it, thinking positive about it, put it on their vision board, doing their gratitude journal about it, then “poof” there it is…my stuff has manifested. If that was all there is to the story then we would be lottery winners by now, our dream car would be in the driveway and we would be living in our dream home wouldn’t we? Then to make matters worse, we are told they reason those things have not happened is because we are not lined up with it. We are told that the only reason things are not showing up is because of this non alignment. All this leads you and your thinking in a direction away from what it is you want and once that happens of course your stuff is not showing up. So let’s put the breaks on this run away train here and collect our thoughts for a minute.
Let’s look at some of the factors that influence how fast our desires manifest.
• Sometimes we think we are all lined up but there maybe some underlying core belief limiting or blocking the manifestation. You may have shifted some on this belief but need to continue to shift.
• Sometimes you think you have a desire but that desire is reflective of your ego and not a heart felt desire.
• Your desire may involve co-creating with others. They have to align with what they want in order for both to manifest their desires. There is a synchronicity and timing involved.
• You may be too attached to the specifics of your desire so much so that you do not realize that the desire has manifested.
• You have not clearly defined your desire enough.
• Action steps are a process.
• Your manifestation may be in progress but you do not realize it.
It is important to remember that the “how fast” is not important. That is not where your focus and attention needs to be. We will be discussing this on our blogtalkradio show. To hear the show please Click here

How Beliefs Can Affect your Life Part 2
Many of us are not always aware of our beliefs or may not even recognize that we do have a belief about something. We just do not take the time to think about it. To help you with this on a piece of paper write down your beliefs about these common areas of life: marriage, religion, money, health, work. You can add to this list as you so desire but this will get you stated.
As we discussed earlier most beliefs stem from a belief in lack of something or the separation of you from everything else that exists. To help you identify if your beliefs stem from with of these two core beliefs lets examine some common beliefs and trace it back. A belief about money that stems from a belief in lack may show up as “Money is the root of all evil” or “I don’t want to be rich because it ruins people lives”. You may have these beliefs because you have seen this happen to others and do not want it to happen to you. Now if you are struggling to pay your bills and desire money so that you can pay your bills can you see where these types of beliefs will limit your ability to manifest the money you desire? You are holding back what you could be manifesting because you do not want to be rich as you define it. The reason this stems from a belief in lack is because you believe you lack enough money to pay your bills. So on hand you believe you do not have enough money and on the other you desire money but then say “no” to it due to your beliefs. What other things in your life do you see as not having enough of? Happiness? Love? Opportunities? Do you have feelings that you are trapped? That would be due to belief that you have no or few opportunities, few options, and few choices. That there is lack of these things, that there is a limit.
A core belief in based in separation would show up in things like blame, control issues and mistrust. How many times have you said “He/She made me so angry” He/She made me sad. Anytime you see another as the source of your emotions it is because you see yourself as separate from them. You experience your own emotions, they are yours and no one can cause you to feel anything. You are the source of everything in your life. You do not see yourself as a whole complete being and that you are separate from that which you truly are.
Everything you desire resides with in you. It is not out there somewhere and all you have to do is pull it to you. Everything works from the inside to the outside. The Law of Attraction responds to the vibrations that you are sending.
In the last past of this discussion we will pull this all together so that you too will be able to expand and transform your life.
Please feel free to share you thoughts, comments and questions you may have.

How Beliefs Can Affect Your Life Part 1
The beliefs we hold about ourselves, others, the world around us and even life itself effects how we view things, how we interact with things including ourselves. A belief is a chronic and persistent thought we have about something. It means we hold onto that thought, get confirmation that the thought/belief is true or not true from the evidence we see, experience or the experience of others in the world around us and incorporate it into our belief system. Some beliefs were taught to us at an early age, some we were conditioned to believe and others we picked up along the way. All the beliefs we have form our belief system which can be broken down into its various components.
Core or fundamental beliefs are those that we have built our life around. Many other beliefs stem from ones core beliefs. These peripheral beliefs all stem from and can be traced back to a core belief. The belief in lack and the belief we are separated from all the many aspects of the Universe including ourselves and each other are examples of a core belief and as such have the biggest impact on your life. Most of our beliefs can be traced back to those 2 beliefs and what you believe about them. It is not whether your belief is either true or not true, if your belief is right or wrong, it is a matter if your belief limits you in creating a desire. It matters if your belief is limiting what you are manifesting. It matters if your belief is blocking you from experiencing what you have created and manifested.
The only time you would need to change a belief is when it is limiting and blocking you from creating, manifesting or experiencing something you desire. A belief is only true or not true because you have determined it to be such. You have determined that the belief is either right or wrong. As beliefs are just an intense form of thought, they too have a vibration attached to them that the Law of Attraction responds to. Changing a belief is more then just thinking a new thought over and over again although that is part of it. You have to come to the realization that the belief you once held is no longer true or not true for you and replace it with one that is true for you.

Tips for Manifesting with Intent
• Manifestations are your creations in form, your thoughts, your beliefs, your emotions in form. They are a reflection of you and what is going on inside of you.
• You are always manifesting something. This you can not turn off. Everything, every experience and all the “stuff” in your life you have manifested.
• You determine if the manifestations you have right now in this moment are what you desire or not. Ask yourself, is this pleasing to me? Do I prefer something else. Write down those things that are not pleasing or that you would prefer something else. On a separate sheet write down the ones that are pleasing and if you desire to experience more of them or not.
• Of the 2 sheets which one are you focusing, paying attention to more often? Meaning as you go through your days what are you thinking about, talking about more? This will help you see where you are putting your energies towards.
• Ask yourself, what am I acting on, what thoughts and beliefs are the basis for my actions?
• Take time to reflect on these questions and your answers.
• Ask yourself what thoughts am I having that are limiting or blocking me?
• Sometimes identifying blocks and limits can be tricky to indentify. You must be open and honest with yourself when asking these questions and in the answers you obtain. You will get your answer but sometimes it take time to appear.
• Journaling is a powerful tool. It helps you visually grasp an enhanced understanding of yourself.
• You know your thoughts, beliefs and emotions are in alignment with your desire as it will begin to take form.
• You know your thoughts, beliefs and emotions are not in alignment when something other than what you desire shows up.
• When something other than what you desire shows up it is a reminder, an indicator to tweak your thoughts, beliefs and emotions. This type of experience serves you in that way so you can redefine, strengthen, refocus or expand upon your desire.
• You can only do this for you. You can not manifest something for somebody else.
• You are always manifesting something. This you can not turn off. Everything, every experience and all the “stuff” in your life you have manifested.

Things to Remember About the Law of Attraction
There are something’s about the Law of Attraction
you will want to be mindful about
when you are creating and manifesting with intent.
• First and foremost you do not “USE” the Law of Attraction to manifest what you want and then just turn it off until the next time you want to “USE” it. The LOA is always working so if you are turning it on and off or using it for something’s and not other things, what you are actually doing is manifesting with intent sometimes but not other times. The LOA is the mechanism so to speak of how something manifests. Be it a material item, an experience or something more esoterically in nature such as success, love, joy, health or happiness. The LOA is “HOW” these things manifest not the why.
• You do not attract things to you. You attract things because of you. The LOA operates at the level of vibrations. It responds to the vibrations you are sending whether intently or not. Everything has a vibration including thoughts, words, feelings, emotions, actions and beliefs. The LOA reflects back manifestations that are a match to the vibrations you send. These manifestations can and do take any form. They are the “what is” that is showing up in your life. We all have a range of vibrations and that is why so many different manifestations show up in our lives. Your emotions are how you know what vibrations you are sending. You can request our free Determine Your Vibrational Range sheet by Clicking Here
• What you desire does not exist outside of yourself. You are not separate from anything that you desire. If you see that what you want is out there in the Universe somewhere and all you have to do is attract it to you like a magnet then you are seeing what you want as something outside of yourself. What you desire, anything that you can think of can be found by looking within. This is where you place your focus and attention.
• If you want to change your external world you must first change your internal world. Your external world, your reality is a reflection of what is going on inside of you. It is a reflection of your beliefs, your thoughts, your choices, your feelings, your emotions and you actions. Often we look at the outside world and those in it to give us validation of our self-worth or a confirmation of acceptance from others that you are liked or loved. All these things and so much more reside with in you.
Everything begins with you.
It is you that is creating and manifesting and experiencing.
You need to be mindful that the LOA is responding to you
and you can have it respond intentionally.

Manifesting with Intent: The Four A's
When one decides they want to bring some changes into their life, this is a perfect opportunity to manifest with intent. Rather than repeat old patterns and habits one can realize their dreams by remembering the four A's of Manifesting with Intent.
First and foremost one needs to identify their desires. This may take some reflection if you do not know what it is that you want. We define desire as a heartfelt expression of who one really is. What is that you wish to be, do and have. What do wish to experience that is a reflection of who you are. So many of us are very good at knowing what we do not want. We can identify them with no problem. This brings us to the four A's of Manifesting with Intent.
The first A is Attention. Where are you placing your attention? What are you focusing on? To manifest with intent you need to place your attention on your desires, that which it is that you want. If you place your attention onto that which you do not want, you will get more of what you do not want. Ask yourself what is knowing what I do not want telling me about what I do want? This will help you identify what you do want. Once you determine what you do want, that is where you place your focus and attention. Where focus goes, energy flows.
The next A is Alignment. This means that your thoughts and feelings must be in align with what you want. You can't want more money if you are thinking and feeling that you are broke and poor. To align with that which you want you may need to shift your perspective to see the limitless possibilities that exist. When you shift your perspective you adopt a new belief about yourself and what you desire. You replace old beliefs for new ones that reflect how your desires feels to you.
Allowing is the next A. This means to be open in heart and mind to new beliefs, thoughts, feeling and experiences. This means being open to limitless opportunities and experiences. It means being open to the "new" that comes you way. It means asking yourself am I ready to receive that which I want in any form that it may take? Thoughts and beliefs can be limiting but when you are in a sate of allowing you are ready to receive the limitless possible ways your desire could manifest. We often think we have to know how something will manifest and if we do not know we seek the answer are come up with one for ourselves. This is limiting for we do not always know the limitless possibilities that exist.
The final A is Action. This is where you following your inspired thoughts, your gut instincts and your feelings ( that which you sense is the right thing to do, it feels good and right to you.) This perhaps can be difficult at times cause some like to second guess themselves. You might be inspired to do something, then because your attention is placed not on the inspired thought but on all the "buts" or the "why nots" , you move out of being aligned with what the inspired thought represents and you are not allowing the inspiried thought to take form because your attention and focus is elsewhere...can you see where this can become a cycle, a pattern, a habit? When you have an gut instinct or an inspired thought follow and see where it leads. You will not always know how this fits in with your desire but in time it will be known.

Be easy with this.
As it has been said many times by so many just go with the flow.

The Divine in YOU
We are all divine beings; we all have a divine aspect to ourselves. The more common expressions associated with this concept is the authentic you, the real you, the god/goddess in you, spiritual self and your higher self. These expressions all are speaking of the divine aspect of ourselves, the inner you that makes you, you. This aspect is not reserved for only those who are deserving or blessed or even holy. It is an aspect that we posses and is part of the human experience. We all can here to experience and express that aspect of ourselves.
Through conditioning we seem to have forgotten that this aspect. Some have actually been taught that we do not have such an aspect and that only a few special individuals have been blessed with it. We have been condition to believe that we are less than who and what we really are. We have been conditioned to believe a great many things about the human experience that omit this aspect of ourselves. Even those who are aware of this aspect sometimes loose sight of it in the hustle and bustle of our day to day life. In today’s world we are just bombarded with so much stimulation that we become distracted. We become fearful for so much seems to be out of our control. We tend to focus on all that is “wrong” in our lives and in the world at large. All this does is to move you away from the divine aspect in you. Our beliefs, focus, thinking all play a large role in discovering or rediscovering the divine in us.
The divine in us can best be described as a pure positive energy that we experience as Joy, Well Being and Abundance to name just a few of the expressions of this pure positive energy. It is limitless, timeless, ever expanding and infinite in nature. This is our true nature as well. The perspective of the divine in you is broad in scope, positive in viewpoint, has innate wisdom and is able to create from that perspective. That is a perspective you too can experience when you are in alignment with this aspect of your self.
You know you are in alignment with this aspect each and every time you feel a joy based or positive emotion. If you have a desire to do something you really love to do, if you have an inspired thought then follow it for it is coming from the divine aspect of you. If your gut is telling you to do something or not do something, then follow it for it too is coming from the divine aspect of you. If you feel an urging to act, do some thing or share something then follow it for it is the divine in you expressing it self.
The divine in you is real, it is palpable, it can be experienced and it can be expressed. All you have to do is allow yourself the experience and be in alignment with that which you are.

Attraction Magnet
One of the big misunderstandings about the Law of Attraction is that one attracts what one want TO YOU. That you are a magnet and all that you want exists somewhere outside of your self. The house, car, money, health, personal possessions, partner, mate etc all our "out there" and all you have to do is attract it to you. This in part is accurate to a point. It is a good place to start in your understanding of the Law of Attraction but there is much more to it.
All that you want is not attracted to you but is attracted because of you. The Law of Attraction responds to vibrations, the vibrations of thoughts and feelings. We all have a vibrational range that the Law of Attraction responds to. This range is based on thoughts, feelings and beliefs. The Law of Attraction is the how or mechanism by which our reality, life and stuff in it show up. You are at the center of this, the inner you, what is going on inside of you. Then your outside world, that which you see and experience is a reflection of that because the Law of Attraction is responding to the vibrations associated with your thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
Many of us to change what is going on try to change our outside world first so that we can feel better. It actually works the other way around. Change your thoughts, feeling and beliefs to ones that make you feel better then your outside world will reflect that. It is a matter shifting your focus and perception onto you and not what is going on around you. Your focus is on how you are feeling, how you are reacting and what you believe. It is a matter of perception. Your perception of what is true, is what is true. you belief of what is true, is what is true. However if what is true does not feel good to you, than you are empowered to be able to change it...if you believe that you are.
Having visual reminders for ourselves can be helpful to remind us of how we want to feel. It is not the picture of what we want that we want, we want how it feels to have that picture manifest. Your focus is therefore not on the material item but on how you feel. When you do that, other things that reflect that feeling also show up sometimes long before that picture we have placed somewhere as reminder shows up. Sometimes we miss that because we are focused on the fact that what we say we want has not shown up yet.
Start today by shifting your focus, taking stock of your beliefs, paying attention to how you feel and you will be on your way to creating a life more in alignment with what you want.

New Years Resolutions
By Mary Anne Cipressy and David Trippany
The beginning of a new year is approaching and with that many of us see it as a time to bring in change to our lives. The most common method used is the New Year Resolutions. We sit down and write out what we are going to do differently this year. However within the first month many of these resolutions are broken and we settle back in to our normal routines, patterns and habits.
There is a reason these resolutions do not work. In an effort to bring change into our lives we focus on those things we see as a negative and then come up with a solution for them. The Law of Attraction brings us what we focus on, so we actually bring in to our lives more of what we say we do not want. We try to use our will and determination to bring these changes about. The resolutions we make do not always reflect a desire. They may reflect some one else’s desires or what others have determined we should be doing. We then micro manage the process by not only coming up with the solution, we also put a time frame on it as well.
If you as an example want to loose weight or quit smoking as a resolution for the New Year, you can’t do so by focusing on losing weight or not smoking for in doing so you are still focusing on your weight and smoking. Then you come up with the how and choose a program that will allow you to lose weight and quit smoking. So then off you go all great guns that this time it will all work. All during this you are still focused on your weight and smoking and therefore the Law of Attraction will bring you more of what you do not want.
Another example is a resolution to get out of debt. If you keep focusing on your debt, view it as a negative, feel bad that you are in debt, and then the Law of Attraction will bring you more debt. View your weight or your smoking as a negative, feel bad about yourself for these things and the Law of Attraction will just bring you more of that as well. It does not matter what the resolution is for if you are feeling negative and have a negative perspective about what you want to change, the Law of attraction will bring you more of that which you do not want.
To use the Law of Attraction in creating the desires your resolutions reflect you must shift your perspective, shift your focus and allow the Law of Attraction to bring you the “how”. You must view what you see as a negative differently and you must feel better about these so called negatives. When the Law of attraction brings you the “how” in any of its many forms you must act on it. Follow your inspired thoughts, your gut reactions and recognize the “how” when you see it. However until you shift focus and perspective and perception, you will not be able to allow the Law of Attraction to bring you the “how”. As long as you think and feel negative you are not going to be able to allow the Law of Attraction to bring you the “how”. You must let go of the idea that you have to come up with the “how” and not micro manage the process by setting a limiting time frame. It is then you will experience the change you desire and the results will be long lasting.

You are the Source of Your Joy Part 1
As each day passes one grows closer to the knowledge that one seeks. Each day is like surprise package for as it unfolds there are wondrous things to behold. Yet you often do not see these things for as much as our world has grown in some areas it has not in many others. As a world many have moved away from that which you are. If you doubt this take stock of one of your typical days.
When you first open your eyes in the waking hours what do you first experience? What is it that you first feel? What are your first thoughts? For these things set the tone for your day. These let you know where you are, who you are and what you will create for that day.
Let us first address those of you whose first experience of the day is to think of all the things you have planned for your day’s experience. When you have those thoughts what is it that you feel? Is it stress? Is it some other negative feeling? Do you dread your day? Why do you dread something that has not occurred yet? When you first awake and already have a negative feeling about what has yet to occur, you are in that moment creating your day to be a negative experience. All this before you have even gotten out of bed. You are “setting yourself up” so to speak to have a day where you do not experience as much joy as there is for you.
Life on our physical plane can be complicated with all the things one has to do. Or is it? What is it that you do that is more important than experiencing joy? Is your job, caring for family and friends or any other of your duties so important that you would sacrifice experiencing joy? We ask these questions of you for these are the questions you ask in your own way. When you begin your day with a mindset of experiencing anything other than joy you are in fact asking how to experience joy in your day.
When you first awake what are you focusing on? Your duties or what brings you joy? Your duties are a source of joy for everything created is a source of joy. If only you allow it to be. Your day is already joy filled before you even awake but when you think and feel it otherwise then that is what you create, manifest and experience. No one other than you causes you to experience anything. Whatever it is that you experience you do so cause of what you have created and manifested. Your boss, children, spouse, neighbor, family members, strangers or friends do not cause you to experience anything. They are not the source of your experience you are.
When you first awake and experience negative thoughts and feelings about your day is it because you are not pleased with your boss, spouse, children, family members, co-workers or friends? Did they DO something to cause you to start a new day with a negative mindset? No, they did not . You are reacting and making them the source as opposed to you being the source.
When someone does something and you experience a negative reaction, that reaction is yours, you created it by placing judgment on the behavior and then manifesting an experience based on that judgment. You are in fact saying “I do not like what you did and that made me feel the way that I do”. This type of thinking is what leads you to give yourself permission to react negatively. The other becomes the source. The other is the cause. The other is responsible. You often refer to this as a defense mechanism as if it is out of your control. This is a misperception as to what is actually occurring. For when you allow another to be the source of your experience you have granted them the creative power of your experience. Yet this can not occur for only you have the creative power of your experiences. What you do is therefore release yourself of the responsibility for creating and manifesting your experiences and grant that to another. They become responsible not you. This is not real but you make it real in your mind. It becomes your reality for you created it, manifested it and experienced it. Even when you create another to be responsible for what you are experiencing, you still created it, manifested it and experienced it, therefore responsible for that experience. You created it and therefore it has become real to you. This is just how powerful a creator one is.

A Wonderful True Story
Thursday, January 29, 2009 at 9:43pm
I have always been a HUGE Buffalo Bills fan ever since I was a little boy. That was/is very rare for someone from North Carolina. I would cry almost every time they lost and celebrate when they won. My brother and dad were forced by me to watch the Bills on sundays growing up. Bill and Dad didn't even like the Bills but sometimes just watched them to see my reactions during the games.
On January 3,1993 The Bills played the Houston Oilers in the playoffs. I had all my Bills clothes on and was ready for the game. Me, Dad, and Bill sat in our house in Raeford N.C to watch the game. The game started off terrible and by halftime the Bills were losing 28-3. I had NEVER given up on the Bills but my heart was crushed. I was crying, frustrated, threw in the towel ,and headed to a childhood friend of mine Mac's Grandmothers house to play basketball with my friends. After being there ten minutes my brother pulled up and said "you might wanna get in the car, Buffalo is doing something and your man Don Beebe just scored a touchdown." I ran to his car and headed home. When I got there, Buffalo had made the score 35-10 which they were still down by a lot. There quarterback (Frank Reich) had the "eye of the tiger" and was leading them back. Score after score the Buffalo Bills kept getting it done. They finally tied it up and won with a game winning field goal by Steve Christie in overtime.This was the greatest comeback of all-time in NFL history. That was the happiest moment of my life yet bittersweet. I was happy they won but I have given up earlier on the Buffalo Bills.That day I promised to God,the Buffalo Bills,and myself, not only to NEVER GIVE UP on the Buffalo Bills but to also NEVER GIVE UP on anything in my life.
My brother went to East Carolina University and I had wanted to go there since I had been in the 8th grade. I would draw ECU on all my notebooks and little Pirates on my desk at school. In High School I was only an average student. I took the SAT and was excited when my letter of results came in because I knew I was going to go to ECU to be an East Carolina University Pirate.When I opened the letter my score was 590. My score was so low, I think I even spelled my name wrong. My hopes and dreams of going to ECU were diminished. I had to go to a Jr. College but in the back of my mind I told myself "DON'T EVER GIVE UP". I had made that promise to God ,the Buffalo Bills,and myself , on Jan.3,1993.
That year at the Jr. College I had decent grades but had to get A's and B's to get into ECU. I was taking a science class and was doing terrible in it. On the final exam(in order to get into ECU) I had to make an 88 on it. I studied day and night until minutes before the exam. I took the exam,had my Chevy Blazer loaded from the dorms and was going home pass or fail. A few hours later the professor placed the test scores on his door. I made an 89. (Lets GO BUFFALO!!!!). Change of plans, I drove straight to ECU,picked up Bill and we went to the Emerald Isle Beach Music Festival with our friends and had the best time ever.
That fall I attended East Carolina University (ECU) which was a struggle from the start.The classes were hard,I partied too much , but I was determined to get it done. I did party a lot but I also studied a lot. I just needed to find a way to balance it out . If the average person was studying 2 hours ,I would study 4. I refused to be beat and give up. It paid off, and after a few years I graduated from East Carolina University.(LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!!)
After college I moved to Randleman N.C. I taught High School Exceptional Children and coached football . My brothers wife got pregnant and I wanted to be near my family so I moved back to Greenville and got into waterfront property sales. I didn't know anything about sales and my company didn't require a Real Estate License so if I failed at that I could always go back to teaching.
I was a natural at waterfront property sales . I came out of the gates strong. I could sell ice to an eskimo. I was the top producer in my office 5 out of 6 years. We started expanding and the company I worked for required us to get real estate licenses. I took the class in N.C and failed it. Took it 2 more times and failed it. I went to my Doctor to get tested for a learning disability. I was diagnosed with A.D.D and ADHD. He told me he was amazed that I graduated from college. He gave me some medication to help me study and focus. I ended up going to South Carolina to take the R.E class and test because it was not as hard as the test in N.C. After failing that test twice I FINALLY passed it. I had my "sales person's " License. I still had to take 90 hours to get my brokers license in North Carolina but at least I could work with that.
My life was looking good. I had a new nephew, money,an Escalade, Hummer,Rolex, a house ect. I was living a fairytale life like someone on MTV. I looked good, had hot girls,had a permanent smile,and was living a dream. I felt I deserved all those things because I had put in so much effort and work. I let myself drift away from God and my true friends. I was selling waterfront and partying every night,drinking,and experimenting with drugs. Then all of a sudden....BOOM!!!!!! April 26,2007 I was involved in a 4 person car wreck, with 1 fatality and me with 27 broken bones a brain injury and in coma.
For the first week things looked horrible. The doctors only gave me a 10% chance to live.They had machines breathing for me and had me hooked up to alot of tubes. After 13 days they came out and told my family that the next 24 hours were critical,and it was up to me to live.Well, God heard my famiy's prayers and new what I promised him,the Buffalo Bills and myself to "NEVER GIVE UP" and the next day I started breathing on my own. A few weeks later I came out of coma.(LET'S GO BUFFALO)
The Doctors called my family in a room and had them sit down. I was out of coma but they told them I would not be the same Bart Upchurch.They said I might not remember them or anything. I might have a mentality like a 1st grader. I might have to learn how to tie my shoes again and things of that nature. This news hurt my family. When they visited my room I knew who Bill,Mom,Dad, close relatives and 1 or 2 friends were, but not much more. Some of my cousins and best friends would visit and I had no clue who they were. My brain injury was not even allowing me to know what year it was.
Day by day passed but my brother Bill never left my side. He took off work and devoted 100% to me. My best friend Andrew came by a lot after he got off from teaching school. Since I was in coma during the NFL draft Andrew had been coming in my room 2 weeks prior to me coming out of coma and told me we drafted Marshawn Lynch from the University California. When I awoke from coma ,one day Bill asked me did I want to know who the Bills drafted. I said "I already know, we got Marshawn, Andrew told me".The thing was Andrew never told me while I was awake.This was something you only see in soap opera's. My family informed the doctors of what had happened.The doctors took this ball and ran with it. They gave my family the best advise ever!! They told my family to go home ,get pictures,albums,Buffalo Bills clothes,accessories,ect. to help trigger my memory. Decorate my hospital room with the Buffalo Bills.
Each day that went by, I would do a little better. I might not know who my cousins or friends were or where I was from but I knew that Jan.3,1993 the Buffalo Bills beat the Houston Oilers in the greatest comeback of all time. I didn't know girls I had dated but when Andrew or Bill said who wore 37 for the Bills,I would say Nate Odoms,who wore 82, I would say Don Beebe,who wore 32 ,I would say "My man O.J and he's still not guilty". The more days that passed the better I got. My Pitt Memorial hospital room was decked out in Bills flags ect. My closet at home had been raided by all my family and friends with Bills gear. Bills mania had taken over Greenville and Pitt Memorial hospital. Friends of mine that hated the Bills were wearing my Bills jerseys. Even my Dad wore my autographed James Lofton Jersey with yellow tight yellow coaching shorts and black socks. Thank God the Fashion police were not in the Hospital or they would have gave poor Daddy life in fashion prison!!!!(which since then he has actually became a well dressed man).
After 27 broken bones,facial paralysis,loss of vision in my right eye, and a brain injury, I was sent home. I still had a lot of surgeries to go and even more depression to come. I was forced to accept there would be no more sports,hunting, smiling, running ect. I became depressed and hated my life. One day my close friends Chad and James Landen(which are die hard Cowboy fans) came by my house and brought me a framed autographed poster of the Buffalo Bills Jan. 3, 1993 game. I don't even think they knew what that date and game meant to me. I hung it up , then I started going through my "get well"cards and gifts at home. Someone in my company had called and written the Buffalo Bills and told them about my wreck/coma and my passion for the Buffalo Bills. They also told them my childhood hero was Buffalo Bills Wide Receiver Don Beebe. As I was going through my cards trying to read them with one eye, I saw a letter from Don Beebe he had written to me while I was in coma.. At the Bottom of the letter it said "DON'T EVER GIVE UP" That day I told God, the Buffalo Bills,and myself, that I had made a promise Jan. 3,1993 that I would "NEVER GIVE UP" and I was not about to now..
Throughout that year I had 17 surgeries on everything it seemed. What Doctors said I could not do, I did. They said I would never be able to run again, I began to jog a mile a day, they said I would never be able to bench press over 200 lbs again, I benched pressed 350lbs .However there was still one thing I did not test yet.
I had my salesperson's license but did not have my brokers license. I had failed it in North Carolina so much before my wreck it seemed impossible to try to pass now. I had work disability for a while so I was able to recover comfortably. My last Surgery was in April of 2008, so my mind started to wonder. I thought to myself "with one eye and learning disabilities will I ever be in Real Estate again'? "Will I ever be able to pass these tests?" I said to myself" come on Bart ,the doctors told your family at one time that you might have to learn how to tie your shoes again much less take real estate tests". I decided right then and there,since I had been this far, I might as well go all the way and get it done .I still had to take 90 hours to get my brokers license. I signed up for the classes ,got mentally prepared and boom!!!! Failed the 1st one. I thought to myself "here we go again" However, I passed it on the retest. I took the 2nd class and passed it as well. I did just like I did in college and life. I worked hard and put in more hours than the average person. With test 2 passed ,60 hours were done .I took my last class 2 weeks later and failed the test. I knew I would get to retake the test a week later. I studied more than ever. Night and day hours and hours .The time came for me to take the test again. On October 14, 2008 I passed the test and became a North Carolina Real Estate Broker!!!!!!!!(LET'S GO BUFFALO)
The feeling of accomplishment was outstanding. I had done the unthinkable.You see it on TV and movies Doctors saying a patient will never do this or will never do that. My task was completed. I DID IT!! I had done more in one year than I had done in 31 years. Former head coach of the Green Bay Packers , Vince Lombardi once said "the greatest accomplishment is not in ever falling,but rising after you fall". I agree, I got knocked down alot .I will get knocked down the rest of my life. However, I will not get knocked out!!! Because of the Buffalo Bills and Jan.3,1993, I learned to NEVER GIVE UP.
There are a lot of you out there that don't like the Bills or don't like sports in general. I don't want you to read this story and be like"way to go Bart". I'm not trying to get pats on the back. What I do want you to do is anytime you see the BUFFALO BILLS LOGO ,let it be a reminder to you to NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!! If you are struggling with something in your life,look at the Buffalo Bills logo and tell yourself that you can do it. Billieve me, anything is possible, I have accomplished what doctors and other people told me I wouldn't. The main reason is because I NEVER GAVE UP and on Jan. 3,1993 the Buffalo Bills didn't give up either.

Creating Success through The Law of Attraction.
Success means different things to different people. From a Law of Attraction perspective success is a desire, a feeling, a state of mind and a state of being. Success is a journey and not something that is achieved or a destination. Do you find yourself saying "I will be successful when?" Do you find yourself defining success by things that can be measured such as achieving certain goals or obtaining a certain things in your life? This type of thinking limits the amount of success you can experience. Do you feel that you must be driven, have will power and persistence in order to achieve success? When you experience challenges in our business or professional life do you then feel that you are not successful or not as successful as you were feeling? These are also common pitfalls that we all experience at one time or another.
In order to create success so that it will manifest into your life you have to allow yourself to feel that success first. As you visualize your desires, allow your self to experience the feeling of success. This will allow the Law of Attraction to respond to that feeling so as to bring to you what you desire. It will also bring to you your next step, an inspired thought or a person that will assist you in some way. Your thoughts and feelings as well as what you say and how you act all must be a reflection of the success you feel.
In those moments in time when your feeling of success lessens, there is a reason for this. Those are the times that help you strengthen your desire or expand on it. It is just an indicator for you to refocus so that you can more forward in a new way.
It helps to be open to change, a change in thinking, perspective and perception. When these changes occur you are able to expand how successful you are. How much success and in how many different ways do you want to experience it?
Here are some tips that will help you in you creating success.
1. Define what Success means to you.
2. Write down how successful do you want to be. What your desires are.
3. How linked to the state of the economy is your thought process? As an example: The economy is slow so my business will also be slow, there are so many challenges, this is not the time to add new services…..
4. Write down what you are focusing on. If you are focusing on the negatives, you will get more negative. Shift your focus onto positives and onto your desires.
5. Write down those times when you are not feeling successful. (To help you identify those times, think about any time you are doubtful, worry, are anxious or stressed about your business or professional life. )
6. Next to those write down a new and more positive thought that makes you feel better. (As an example: My sales numbers are down. Your current thinking maybe something like: oh business is down, if this keeps up what am I going to do? Change this to something like: All these numbers are telling me is that I must refocus on what I want, that I need to follow my instincts and gut feelings more.)
