I am pleased to say that my first official foray into the personal development world, at least on a conscious, chosen level, was when I read Napoleon Hill’s classic bible on success: Think and Grow Rich.
I have spent countless hours over the past three decades since then absorbing everything I can to expand my own horizons but rarely have encountered anything with the awesome raw power and message of success than Dr. Hill’s work.
Recently, I came across a video piece of Dr. Hill discussing his initial conversations with Andrew Carnegie, the insightful steel magnate (and the world’s first billionaire) who put the young Hill to task in studying the most successful men of the day and determine their common threads for creating that success. The resulting work changed the lives of millions of people around the world.
One of my favorite variations on Think and Grow Rich was the Nightingale Contant recordings called The Science of Personal Achievement. I was particularly moved by this because it includes so much of the original recordings done by Dr. Hill himself. This may not seem like much to us today but it is important to note that Hill first published Think and Grow Rich in 1937. The recordings from The Science of Personal Achievement were from old radio interviews, recordings made on 78 speed records and were really the first serious work in audio recordings. It was cutting-edge stuff at the time…the information still is and now, the piece is (finally) available on CD. I had two different cassette version of the piece; one for me and one that I always circulated through my network, and always passed along from one person to another with a letter telling the next one in line how the work had affected his or her life.
I tell this story today to share with you that some concepts are universal and remain true throughout the generations. Think and Grow Rich and it’s related material is just such a work. If you haven’t read it (or listened to it if that’s your preferred medium), I strongly encourage you to do so.
For now, have a quick taste of Dr. Hill himself laying the foundation for what is a very similar idea to what I now teach in my Law of Attraction programs.
I’ve been talking about making your own movies to assist with the visualization process for a long time now. I even include some training on how to do it in my Law of Attraction ACTION PACK multimedia home study program. I call them MasterMind Movies and they’re a great way to personalize your own visualization process for attracting your Ultimate Dream Life.
Some friends “down unda” have taken this concept to a whole new level. Ryan and the gang down at Mind Movies have just released a new series that really gets into the details about how to make the most effective movies possible.
Just follow this link to learn more about the program. There is a special launch happening for the next 8 days and you get some outrageous bonuses in the process, over $2300 worth if I have my numbers straight, including a special one from me.
I’m doing a new custom movie right now but here’s one that I included in my Law of Attraction ACTION PACK that you may find helpful. I also composed special MasterMind Enhancement Music designed to connect you directly to the “source” of the LOA. Enjoy it and check out the Mind Movies program too. It’s really cool!
There is magic in asking the right questions. How you ask those questions of yourself and others has a direct affect on the power and effectiveness in applying the Law of Attraction.
I read a great little book a few months ago…in fact it was called The Great Little Book of Afformations. No, that’s not a typo, it’s spelled with an “o.” It was all about asking the right questions…EMPOWERING questions…all the time.
Wouldn’t it be great to have the power of knowing how to ask the right questions all the time?
Well, you do have that power. You always have the power…at least it’s always a CHOICE you have. But what choices are you making. Do you choose empowering questions or are you beating yourself up with hurtful, demoralizing questions instead?
We are in a constant conversation with ourselves. Seldom does a day go by that we don’t have ten of thousands of thoughts and questions run through our minds. Many people get caught up in asking questions like: “Why does this stuff always happen to me?” or when they make a mistake, find themselves chanting: “What’s WRONG with me?”
Asking empowering questions is a great tool to activate the Law of Attraction and the law of ACTION in your life.
Here’s why: There is actually a chemical/electrical response that takes place when you pose a question. When you ask yourself a question (or someone else asks you a question), your brain responds just like a computer…in fact, it’s more like a search engine, seeking out the answer to the questions and ways of making that answer true for you.
So, when you ask “What’s wrong with me?”, you immediately set yourself up for creating something “wrong” with you because your subconscious mind is now running that internal program through your brain called “Find something wrong” until it in fact does find something wrong with you — to prove to were right…about being wrong! Crazy, isn’t it?
How do you correct your internal question compass to make sure you’re always heading in the right directino with your questions? Start by becoming more aware of the questions you’re already asking yourself. Do you find yourself asking questions “Why can’t I…?” or “What’s wrong with…?” If you do, try reframing your questions. For example, instead of “Why can’t I…?” try using the words “How can I…?”
Try these empowering questions and observe (and act upon) how your mind and the Law of Attraction begin to conspire together to create the answers and opportunities that you really want:
How can I afford it?
What is the best action to take right now?
Who should I be connecting with to move my career forward?
Is there a better option?
How big can this dream REALLY be?
How can I create more revenue for my business?
Who is the best person for this job?
What is my true purpose?
How can I best serve the world?
…these are just examples…try your own versions that apply to your own life.
Asking the right questions has amazing power in your life. Try it today and watch what happens!
The Law of Attraction is working in your life already. Whether you choose to use it consciously or whether you are “driving all over the road” with random thoughts, feelings and actions, the fact remains that the LOA is always at work in your life.
The “law of abstraction” is what the majority of the planet uses…innocently I’m sure…but nonetheless, it is the process of simply going about every minute of every hour of every day without any focused intention, focused thought or focused emotion.
The Law of Attraction responds to you, constantly. If you are consistently using negative language or negative feelings associated with your life, this is what you tend to bring toward you. For instance, if you use language, even in your own mind, that paints a picture of what you DON’T want, you tend to draw more of what you don’t want into your current life. It’s a natural habit that many people have, simply because they have been brought up with that negative programming.
For example, money is a big issue for most people. Virtually everyone wants more of it but at the same time they define that mental picture as “not being broke” or “never having enough and wanting more.” If you have been using this kind of “self-talk” it’s time to shift your focus to the positive. Instead of entertaining thoughts or feelings of “I never seem to have enough money,” instead you could shift that to “I AM always in the flow of money and prosperity” or “Money flows to me easily and effortlessly.”
It is important for you to have a clear picture of what you intend to attract. Avoid using terms like “want” and “need” as this creates an energy of the thing you intend being “away” from you already. In order for you to have a “wanting,” there always has to be something that corresponds with that thought to keep you in a wanting state. Think about it: If you are “wanting,” is it possible to be “having” at the same time?
Keeping your intentions in the present tense is vital as well. Imagine, or visualize, or “feel” your intended outcome in your present, now, in this moment. The Universe knows nothing of time. This was a construct of humans.
Being clear about your intention is important but you can always leave things open to “universal interpretation.” Remember that a “divine design” is always in the works. Your intention might actually be smaller than what is actually possible for you. So, as you create your intentions, consider adding thoughts of “this or something better” to your intended outcomes. That leaves greater possibilities than you have even imagined available to you through this universal process we call the Law of Attraction.
Always remember that if you don’t have what you want already, and you’ve been focusing on that, in a positive way, there may be some internal message blocking you from actually attracting what you intend. Removing the blocks or at least reducing the charge on those blocks is an important element to using the Law of Attraction effectively.
If you have been having challenges in making your true intentions come to you as fast as you want, I would encourage you to take a look at our Seven Days to Success Law of Attraction ACTION PACK multimedia program to assist you in getting clarity, releasing blocks, connecting with the true energy behing the Law of Attraction and more. The system is overflowing with information and tools to immediately put the Law of Attraction into ACTION in your life. It was specifically designed for you to learn a detailed and specific system and provide you with everything you need to break through barriers, turbo-charge your process and create success in all areas of your life using the Law of Attraction. We can even provide you with one-on-one coaching to help you implement that strategies and tools available to you. Many people report that this coaching is what brought true clarity to the process and was the key to success.
Please share some of your LOA stories here and let us know your own insights about what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to attracting the life you really choose.
Above all, have fun and be grateful for what you are attracting and have attracted into your life. It’s all good, if you look at it from the right frame of reference.
There is a direct correlation between the Law of Attraction and creating a MasterMind alliance or MasterMind group. In fact, I think Napoleon Hill was really onto the concept of attraction in his classic book on success, Think and Grow Rich.
Hill discusses the MasterMind alliance in great detail and in fact was the first to actually coin the term. He describes the MasterMind concept as follows:
“No two minds ever come together without, thereby, creating a third, invisible, intangible force which may be likened to a third mind.”
Consider that quote for just a moment:
“…an invisible, tangible force which may be likened to a third mind.”
It’s a powerful idea to be sure. I have always felt that the Law of Attraction was directly connected to that third mind to which Dr. Hill directs us. In fact, the Law of Attraction, that powerful universal force that magnetizes all things of similar vibration to each other really stems from that third mind, or the God mind. All things creative stem from this same force.
I would invite you to experiment with the MasterMind concept. In your current circle of influence, with whom could you partner to create a common and mutually beneficial outcome? A friend, a family member, a business associate? Who do you feel could support you in creating your dream and who can also be trusted with that dream?
Start getting together by phone or in person, even if just for 15 minutes a week to discuss the your mutual goals and how you might achieve them. As you stay open to the MasterMind/Attraction process, watch closely and "follow the trail" of what comes up around your intentions. When two or more are gathered, magic begins to happen.
And consider this: if two people create the power of a third mind, what happens when you add more? It has been put forward in the concepts of quantum mechanics and zero point energy field theory that as you continue to bring more and more people together, focused on the same outcome, the energy increases, but not in a linear way, as in 1 plus 1 plus 1, etc., but in an exponential way. So if you have 3 people involved, it becomes the energy of 3 x 3, four becomes 4 x 4, ten becomes 10 x 10, and so on. Imagine then, what would happen when we are able to create a focused, conscious group of people all lasered in on the same outcome.
We’ve seen the results of such experiments already, reducing violence in Washington, DC, creating a peace treaty in Bosnia/Herzogovna over a decade ago, and there are more examples.
We can and do make a difference. Keep in mind also that the scales can tip either direction. Last week, I posted an article discussing our participation in "attracting" the current economic conditions in America. It is important to monitor your thoughts, feelings and actions as you become more conscious of this process.
Know and trust that the process is working. Step up and reach out to others. Your participation DOES make a difference. And we need you to facilitate the great positives changes required on our little blue planet.
What do you think? I look forward to hearing from you on this. Be inspired…is your time!
In my coaching practice, I often work with people who are overcoming blocks to their own success. Time and time again, we overcome obstacles based entirely in the mind and emotions. I have no doubt that virtually everything impeding our progress and success is self-created or installed beliefs from events that have taken place in our lives.
The power of the mind is amazing. Our ability to overcome challengs is unlimited. The human brain is a super-computer that has virtually infinite capacity.
The next time you start believing that you are limited by your circumstances, your current conditions or even your thoughts, I would invite you to witness Stephen Wiltshire, an amazingly beautiful mind, who is also an autistic savant. Witness a miracle of the human mind.
