The Secret to Making Positive Affirmations Work For You

Several years ago I was introduced to the use of affirmations as a way to overcome negative thoughts or behavior patterns. I learned that I was to write out positive statements stating how I wanted to be or what I wanted to accomplish; they were supposed to be written in the first person and in the present tense. I was then supposed to repeat these affirmations hundreds of times a day (or at least as often as possible) from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. While repeating them I was supposed to feel and behave as if the statements I was making were already true.

If you're anything like me you know that this is easier said than done. Remembering to do the affirmations throughout the day was a challenge of its own, but actually feeling as if the affirmations were already true was the real kicker.

When using affirmations such as "I have all the money I want and need" or "I have an abundance of money at my disposal," acting as if they are already true does not come as easy as positive affirmation gurus make it sound, especially when your bank account is about to reach below zero temperatures, you are knee-deep in debt and are staring at a pile of bills, and your car is complaining that it doesn't feel good and may need a trip to the car doctor.

I thought that making those positive affirmations was supposed to help me feel better and help me manifest my fondest desires, but instead they left me feeling like a deluded pathological liar. Instead of raising my spirits they managed to heighten my awareness of my real situation, and this in turn made me feel angry, frustrated and hopeless.

I read and re-read the positive affirmation material to make sure I was doing it correctly. I watched and re-watched the videos showing people who had used positive affirmations successfully. Apparently I was doing everything right, yet this was not working for me for some reason. There were many times when I thought that something must be wrong with me, because no matter how much I did this positive affirmation stuff I was not feeling any better, let alone "manifesting my fondest desires" like the gurus claimed to do.

It wasn't until much later that I realized that I was, in fact, doing something wrong. The emotional jump that I was trying to make from feeling hopeless to feeling awesome was far too great. At first I thought I didn't have enough momentum to make that big of a jump from one emotional state to the other, but then I realized that the issue was not the momentum, but the gap.

Allow me to illustrate. Imagine that you are standing by a river and you want to get to the other side of it. The side that you are standing on represents a very low emotional state such as hopelessness, and other side represents the ideal emotional state that you want to get to, such as joy, excitement or exhilaration. The river is about 300 feet wide. So to get to the other side you decide that you are going to take a few steps back to gain momentum, run as fast as you can and attempt to make it across the river in one big jump. What do you think might happen?

Unless you have some form of secret superpower that allows you to make that big of a jump, you'll likely end up in the river. The distance between where you are and where you want to be is far too great and you'll likely not make it dry. That's the equivalent of trying to instantly transition between two emotions that are so far apart from each other.

So I decided to modify my approach a little bit. Instead of trying to get to the other side of the river by attempting a single jump, I decided to make multiple smaller jumps by using the protruding rocks across the river. Each of these rocks represents an emotion that is just slightly better than the emotion I'm currently standing on. So I would jump from hopelessness to sadness, for instance, and stand there long enough to regain my posture. This type of jump would certainly be a lot easier to make, and it wouldn't take a lot of effort.

"Wait a minute!" you might say. "There is nothing positive about sadness!" But you'd be wrong. Maybe in the big scheme of things sadness is not considered a positive emotion per se, but it certainly is less negative compared to hopelessness. And remember, we're not making sadness the ultimate goal. We're simply using it as a stepping stone (pun intended) to make it across the river to the emotion that we really want. We stand there just long enough to regain our posture and make sure we don't slip, and then we make the next jump.

So we go from hopelessness to sadness, and from that to the next emotion that is just slightly better than sadness, and so on and so on, stepping from rock to rock until we get to the other side of the river. You can see how this approach is much easier to implement and requires much less effort than trying to make it to the other side in a single jump.

I know what you may be thinking. Wouldn't moving from one negative emotion to another (even if it is less negative) only perpetuate those feelings? And the answer is, not if you do it in the way I stated. While it is true that you don't want to wallow in negative emotions, you also don't want to attempt to make a huge transition in one fell swoop because that is almost always guaranteed to fail, and then you will definitely continue to wallow in those negative emotions. The trick is to keep your affirmations kind of real, so that the resistance created in your mind is small to none. Rather than trying to deny how you really feel, you acknowledge the current emotion and play with your words just enough to move up to the next less negative emotion.

When I tried this approach, it made a world of difference. It did take me longer to get there than if I had been able to do it in a single jump. But the truth is that I never managed to do it in a single jump and I remained in that negative emotion longer; however, with this new approach, I was able to transition to my desired emotion every single time. So overall, the "longer route" was definitely a shortcut for me.

Positive affirmations do work but some of us need a more gradual approach, and that's perfectly okay. If you have struggled with positive affirmations the way that I have, don't give up just yet. Give this approach a try first and let me know how it goes. Also, if you have any suggestions of things that you've tried and have worked for you, please share in the comments below so other readers can benefit.

The True Meaning of Giving

Today, I felt the urge of writing further about "The True Meaning of Giving" responding to some of the queries that I've received about the general definition people have about "giving". I'd like to shed light on the essence of giving in my view and point out that it's rather a much broader concept than many of us has confined it. I'd also like to clarify few misconceptions about "giving", from the feedback that I've received.

Perhaps, the first two things that generally come to our minds when we hear the word "giving" is either charity i.e. giving money or volunteering i.e. giving time and in spite of both areas being widely accepted forms of giving in the society, I say both are still relatively a portion of a big pie called "giving". It's also worth discussing here the bigger impact created by the form of "giving" we choose to be part of. Although being a very noble way to contribute to or relieve our less fortunate brothers and sisters around the world, most charitable and voluntary efforts tend to have a short term impact on the receivers through providing core needs like food, drink, shelter and cloths. This in my opinion will not support the receiving individuals or communities to sustain long term advantage, therefore, the aid will be expected to come again and the question here is: "What value this kind of giving has added to the world so far"?

In best case scenario's, there will be schools, hospitals or larger investments done through such humanitarian efforts to drive long term social and economical values like education or health. I particularly admire those developmental projects or initiatives that are launched to empower individuals or communities to run their lives by giving them the right tools and further, teaching them how to use these tools to create a more promising future for them and their families. I commend programs that coach and mentor people on how to be productive members in the society, how to get the right education that will enlighten their lives and in turn they can be a blessing to others once they are self-sufficient themselves. You can imagine the kind of world we will be creating if each one of us contributed by "giving" a solution to others problems that can shift their lives rather than just "giving" them a meal or some money that can only last for a day or so. The beauty is in "giving" people hope by altering the way they choose to live their life positively. For me, this is the true meaning of giving. In this occasion, I can't help mentioning the Chinese quote that says: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".

Furthermore, one of the most common misconceptions about "giving" I wanted to clarify here, is that people mostly want to have the "saint" mentality when they think of "giving". I heard many comments around: "if there is a personal gain for me by doing this or that, then how can that be related to giving?", implying that "giving" must in all cases be one sided or without a return!!! I don't even know from where such distorted image of "giving" has been originated. In life, balance is required to ensure consistency and continuity. One thing we need to understand is that God has created this universe with abundance. There are enough things for everyone in here and sharing will even create plenty of supply.

Researches have shown that people do strive for reciprocity in the long run and that people who get some sort of material or emotional rewards as a result of their contributions are more likely to give more; and this is a basic human need as well. So, depriving yourself in order to give others will ensure that even if you give, you don't give with love, at the same time; your giving activities will not last for long time because you are unable to see the: "What is in it for Me"? Mother Teresa said: "It's not how much we give; but how much love we put into giving".

In the hadith of prophet Mohammed (PBUH): "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself"; is a strong indication that this balance is a requirement of our human nature to have healthy individuals and peaceful societies. You are an emotionally healthy individual if you love good things for yourself. Equally important; is that you must love for your fellow humans the same good that you choose for yourself. If any of the two conditions are missing; then you are nor a true believer neither an effective giver.

To conclude, "giving" is a very deep term, we cannot limit it to few handful activities just because this what we mostly see common around us. The essence of "giving" is in freeing people from their psychological chains or idols, altering their way of thinking by providing solutions, revealing to them new possibilities they never heard of and empowering them to take charge of their lives once again. I truly believe in dedicating personal time to share knowledge, train and coach others to help them succeed spiritually, mentally and physically. Once they succeed, they are ready to make a wider impact in other people's lives by helping them succeed as well. Here, I can proudly say that we have understood the true meaning of "giving".

Message From the Universe: There Is Always Another Beginning!

"All that you must do, you've already done.

Let everything else be what you want to do.

That's what I want,

The Universe"

Just like all farmers out there, you need to plant seeds before you can benefit from the crop. Every step you take today, at this moment, will have positive effect in the future. If you just stand still, and not doing anything, in a year from now, you will look back and live life with regret, wondering why didn't you start then. So here, I am giving you that opportunity to look into the future to revert back into your immediate past. Without the use of the Delorean from Back to the Future, you are using existing experiences to put into action what you were meant to do in this world. Sometimes, a rude awakening is needed to bring you back to a place you weren't meant to leave, a path that you need to stay on to ultimately reach your life's goals. It is ONLY you who can determine the best path to take in your life and make sure not to stay on it. I am not saying that you wouldn't face challenges, obstacles, hurdles, disappointments while on that path, but it will be up to you to choose if it is the optimal option for your well being. It is hard to guess, I admit, since we can't really read or predict the future. Even though you may have a good sense of the best path to take, there are good chances that you may have to take a few wrong turns to eventually reach your destination. During these wrong turns, you may come to a point of wanting to abandon the journey, wonder if the choices you took were the best ones and start second guess yourself from that point forward.

There is NO shame is starting over, or going back to the beginning and looking into a distant and uncertain future to select another path. It might be difficult to do this at a later age in your life but just remember that you will never make the same mistakes again. So the time you took originally to reach a certain point in your life wouldn't take the same amount of years reaching again that same exact time where you failed and move on from that point forward. Everything will be on warp speed. If you can all remember the movie with Tom Cruise, "The Edge of Tomorrow", where every time he got killed, he woke up and started at the same exact point where he was dumped in the beginning of the movie. By going through the same journey all over again, he anticipated actions from the alien enemies and was able to deter death as much as possible. He failed, of course, but he eventually succeeded when he woke up at the end and it was the end of war with the aliens. The writers and director and the movie had somehow an awakening when coming up with a script like that. Was there a message behind this movie? Even though the physical body does expire, consciousness always remains. Was this movie trying to tell us something? Was the underlying message trying to connect with our subconscious mind? The answers are up to you.

Why Do I Believe In The Law Of Attraction? (By Pedro Avalos)

Not long ago, I didn't believe in the law of attraction. I was the perfect prototype of a skeptic. Somewhere at the bottom of my heart I knew there could be something beyond our mainstream way of thinking, but I was not willing to waste my valuable time finding out what it was. Besides, I was afraid to be seen as ridiculous for talking about this subject.

I am an engineer with years of experience producing and maintaining big plants of more than 10,000 workers. Everything in my profession was planned according to studied rules, and we always tried to minimize the unpredictable. It worked. Our job was always satisfactory and went according to plan.

I grew up in a very strict environment. My father constantly emphasized the importance of staying within the bounds of science, because although science could be imperfect, it was the best information available. To climb the ladder of success and compete as a top industry executive I earned three Master's degrees: one in Business Administration, one in Finance, and one in Marketing. It was an honor for my father to be present at all my graduations.

I remember when big companies called me to work for them. I said "No," several times. On one occasion I was offered a good job in Houston, Texas earning about $4,000 a month, but I rejected it - just because I wanted to.

All of this suddenly changed when I stopped working after four and a half years in the industry because I thought I had already earned enough to retire. My friends and some relatives laughed at me because I was retiring so young. But now I understand that the Universe wanted to teach me a wonderful new way to be successful. That's why I didn't pay an expert copywriter to write this letter to you, because I want to communicate the essence of what really works without any marketing make-up.

Four years after I stopped working my life changed. Big companies would no longer accept me because of that long period of inactivity, so I had to accept poorly paid jobs just to survive. I went into deep debt, lost happiness, and began to appear older than my age. I would easily lose my temper, and any effort to improve my life just became worse.

At the point when I began to lose hope, I started reading books about the Law of Attraction. I was skeptical, but I had nothing left to lose.

After reading about 300 books on the subject, I was very confused about what was the first step, the second, and so forth. But ironically, the only way to prove whether this law worked was to follow the same scientific method I had always defended: understand the theory, put it into practice, and demonstrate whether it works.

So, despite the fact that I didn't have a clear schema of how to do things, I decided to practice the law of attraction to get a brand new car. I couldn't tell you whose method I used; I just combined everything I had read and did it my way. This is what I did:

First I envisioned a clear idea of what I wanted: a brand new car. I was going to get it in three months. Sometimes I think I just wanted to show that this law wouldn't work. But as a good scientist, I had to stick to the rules.

I visualized my car every day, but according to the law of attraction you have to feel as if you already have it. In your mind it is true despite your current circumstances. You have to convince yourself it is already yours and enjoy it profoundly; this is the only way for it to work.

So I followed the scientific method. I relaxed three times a day: when I woke up, right after lunch, and before sleeping.

During these exercises I visualized peaceful places like parks, forests, landscapes, beaches, colorful birds, quiet skies, and so forth. I convinced myself these places were true. Sometimes I imagined Albert Einstein telling me, "Never forget, my best tool as a scientist has been imagination." So little by little, I convinced my subconscious that what I was imagining was my truth, and I enjoyed it in my imagination. I imagined my happy face while driving the car.

Two months and 29 days passed by. I was deeper in debt, obtaining the same low income and still driving my old car. My credit card debt increased, partly because I often had to fix my car. "Aha!" I thought; I had finally demonstrated that the popular spiritual law of attraction doesn't work.

However, the daily practice had affected my subconscious more deeply than I imagined, because I was combining arguments from several books. I had read in other books that self talk makes a difference. So besides my three daily exercises, I also constantly checked my inner dialogue, and if disempowering thoughts crossed my mind I rapidly changed them into empowering thoughts.

I became an expert in this, convincing myself that it was not really me who was complaining but my fearful ego. I also learned to easily transform feelings and thoughts of anger or anxiety into happiness. With practice this became natural.

Despite this new mindset, it seemed that the theory hadn't worked... at least that's what I thought. However, I had also learned through my reading about combining thankfulness and detachment. These three months I had practiced being thankful all the time, even if events were not unfolding as I expected. One night before the end of the three months, I decided to practice detachment one more time.

I remember that it was a Wednesday, and I was going to bed around 10 pm. Usually I went to bed no later than 8 pm because I had to start working at 6 am and the place was not nearby. To be honest, that night I felt a little sad; I was deep in debt with my old car and my low income.

Even worse, my last hope in life, the law of attraction, seemed not to be working. I call it my last hope because at the beginning it was just an experiment for me. However, after almost three months (2 months and 29 days) my subconscious had begun to view it as hope, my only hope.

That night I was just going to sleep, willing to practice my exercise gratefully when the phone rang. I got mad. I was getting to bed late and something that never happened was happening now; it occurred to somebody to call me too late. It was my oldest sister.

"Come on!" I said in my mind, exasperated. My sister and I did not have the best relationship. When I was a kid she often treated me badly and would become upset with me because she said my mom spoiled me a lot. Besides, she was broke most of the time, and my first thought was that she was calling to ask for money or some kind of help.

What could I do for her with my low income, deep debt, old car and my last hope not working? But despite all this, I tried to be polite.

"Hi sister."

"Hi little kid."

"Why do you call me little kid?"

"Remember, you are the youngest brother in the family."

"Okay, anyway, what can I do for you, sister?"

"Do you remember that old property you advised me to buy years ago? And I almost died doing the impossible to pay for it."

"Come on," I thought, "she wants me to give her some money to pay the lawyer to arrange the property papers."

"Aha, what's up, sister?"

"Well, I sold it."

"What?"

"Yes, I sold it, for ten times what I paid some years ago, thanks to your good advice. And now... "

"Now what; please tell me; remember, I wake up very early in the morning and you call me at this time of the night."

"I know, little kid, but I thought this gift is worth it."

"What gift?" I said.

"I am going to give you a new brand car as a gift, you know. I got plenty of money now to do that, and I never thought about it before, but for one reason or another I feel a strong feeling to give you a Chevrolet Optra LS with full equipment, brand new this year. And I am really convinced that you can't reject it."

My jaw dropped to the floor. Here she was, my oldest sister, the one who had always given me grief. I absolutely never expected something like this from her. She was broke all the time. She always called me to borrow money or to ask for some kind of help. She was divorced and never got married again, and having two teenagers - one in high school and another in the first year of college - was not easy.

Here I was in the 89th day of my 90-day exercise, and see what was happening? The Universe was fulfilling my dream through a person from whom I never expected anything!

"Good night, little kid. I am going to deposit the money tomorrow in your bank account, so don't forget to check it out. You don't want me to do everything and go to buy it and drive it to your home, right?"

"Of course not; have a good night sister."

As soon as we hung up, I practiced my exercise and went to sleep. I didn't give too much importance to the incident. The next day at work was very hard. I was immersed in my job and completely forgot the conversation with my sister. It was already dark when I got home, and as soon as I got in the phone rang.

"Little kid, I deposited the money in your bank account. Did you check it out? By the way, I deposited an extra $500 just in case you need something else."

My phone is on the desk beside my computer, so I quickly turned my PC on and checked my balance online. She HAD deposited the money, and I thanked her from the deepest part of my heart fifty times; I remember it perfectly.

Soon after, I called my friend Charles who works for a Toyota car dealer. He knew about my financial situation so his first reaction was, "Lito, I am not in the mood for jokes right now." "It is true," I replied, "my sister gave me the money; an old debt, you know."

Right after lunch the next day, he called me. He had gotten me a $500 discount because I was going to pay cash. Can you picture that; a man with low income, an old car and deep debt was going to pay cash for a brand new car with full equipment?

Throughout the three-month exercise, I had been thinking every day how wonderful it would be if I could have an extra $1000 just to invest in an Internet business. The Universe gave me that too: the extra $500 that my sister deposited and the $500 discount from Charles. I didn't ask for it deliberately as I did with the car. But I believe the Universe gave it to me because I was thinking about that $1000 dollars every day, feeling really good about it and practicing detachment.

I don't know why, but detachment is key. Please understand I am no guru, and I am telling you about my experience not as a guru, but as an ordinary guy sharing what the law of attraction has done for me and can do for you. Since that time, miracles haven't stopped in my life.

The first time I put the law of attraction into practice I was picking things up from here and there, combining different tools and theories, re-reading many books, and sometimes becoming exhausted during the process. I did this because I wanted to prove the law scientifically.

By this time, I had read many books and experienced many things, so after I got my car I decided to create my own manual about the law of attraction.

I prepared 10 chapters to refresh the theory in my mind. Then I prepared 1-3 exercises at the end of each chapter in order to put the theory into practice right away. Now, instead of consulting many books all the time, I had a step-by-step manual with simple exercises at the end of each chapter. It was time to prove whether my manual worked according to the scientific method.

At this point I determined to clear my debts using my manual. I had never maxed out my credit cards because I had good credit before, and my credit limit was high. Even so, my credit card debt was more than 10 grand. For me, that was really a lot.

Because my manual has 10 chapters and exercises at the end of each chapter, I decided to practice 6 cycles of 10 days over 2 months. The manual is comprehensive and step-by-step, so if it worked, it would now be very easy to practice the law of attraction.

I was ready to start out on Saturday, but the Friday before I was going to start they fired me. "Come on, man," I thought, "I am going to practice a 60-day exercise to clear my debt, and now I am apparently without any income at all." My way of thinking had changed a lot - I thought "apparently" no income. I was not a period guy anymore.

I knew that if I practiced the exercises anyway and really felt it, I was going to feel great because you have to believe that what you are visualizing is already yours. That's the part I love most about the law of attraction. As soon as you convince your subconscious that what you are imagining is real, somehow your mind accepts it, and you feel great even though your eyes see different apparent circumstances.

During the fifth day practicing my manual, my friend Frank called me.

"Lito, I got some good customers and I have no time to take care of them. I trust you can help me with that."

"But Frank, you know, I know almost nothing about sales."

"No problem, I know my customers very well, and I am going to tell you exactly how to treat them and what to tell them, even your gestures."

I visited these guys as Frank instructed me, but I didn't see a clear signal that they were going to buy anything. I didn't want to complain, though, because I didn't have enough experience with sales to judge what was really happening. Nobody knows enough to be a pessimist.

Finally, one of these customers bought more than expected, and the next week after I finished my sixth cycle of exercises, I got a big commission. It was enough to pay for about 95% of my debt, food, gas, and other bills. Two months later I got the final part of my commission and could pay the debt completely. Lo and behold, the manual worked!

The interesting part about this example is that when I finished the 60-day exercise I thought my manual didn't work. I also thought that maybe I was seeking too much attention because I dared to prove my manual in 60 days, while my first successful exercise combined the 90-day techniques of very well know gurus.

Happily, the week after I finished the 60-day exercise, the Universe showed me that I had learned the lesson. That is very important to me. It doesn't matter that I am living proof that the law of attraction works; I am always a 'learn-it-all' because that is better than being a 'know-it-all.'

I gave my manual a name I feel is very appropriate because this is the way it has worked for me: A Complete Guide to Making Universal Laws Work for You.

                                    

I have practiced the principles and exercises in my manual, and in return reaped the following:

• A better income. On one occasion, I made almost $5,000 in a couple of days. For me, that's a lot. In my last job, before I started to experiment with the law of attraction, I made only about $150 a week.
• The laptop I always wanted.
• Attendance at very expensive seminars for free.
• Fully sponsored travel.
• A free copy of the movie The Secret.

I don't have enough space to tell you so many wonderful stories. But one really wonderful story for me is that you are reading this letter right now.

I have practiced the principles and exercises in my manual in order to attract many people so that I can share these principles and exercises with them. I love it!

The Most Important Question to Always Ask: Does It Help Me Achieve My Goals?

Why do so many people not get what they want out of life?

Why do so many people find themselves falling into jobs they don't really want? Or living places that don't make them happy? Or with lifestyles that they find stressful?

How does someone go from dreaming of being a rock star, to being locked in an office to enter data onto a spreadsheet?

Well, there are many factors. But it usually starts by not clearly defining your goals or what you want. Because until you know exactly what it is you actually want, how can you possibly expect to get it?

That means it isn't good enough to decide you want to be 'rich', you need to know what you want to do to become rich. What kind of work you enjoy, how many hours you're willing to work etc.

Likewise, if you hope to become a rock star, then you might want to think about how you actually intend to make that happen. What does being a 'rock star' entail for you and how are you going to make it happen? What would you settle for?

And when you make all these decisions, you need to ensure that this is truly what you're passionate about - that your intended goal is something that you enjoy thinking about, enjoy working on and can't wait to make a reality.

The Simple Way to Make Decisions

The reason this is all so important, is that it will then allow you to make all your future decisions that much more easily. This is going to act like your barometer and your road map, to help you to get to the end destination that you want.

Now, whenever you find yourself making a decision, the question to ask is: does it help you achieve your goals?

So for instance, if you're umming and ahing over buying an expensive piece of equipment, then the simplest way to decide if it is a good idea or not is to ask if it will help you to accomplish your goals. Likewise, if you're unsure about where to live, or whether you should take a particular job opportunity, ask whether the decision is going to take you nearer or further from your goals.

The problem with many people who aren't quite sure what they want, is that their objectives end up on a kind of back burner and that other things seem to start getting in the way.

But if you really want to achieve something amazing - if you have a dream business idea that you really want to make happen - then you need to make this your priority and you need to change the way you think about everything else.

And it shouldn't feel like a sacrifice either. Because if you really love what you're working toward then it will mean fully embracing the thing you really want to be doing anyway. You just need to find what that passion is...

Get The Life You Want By Accepting That How To Create Miracles Is In Your Power

Have you truly witnessed any miracles in your life? Or possibly I should ask a much stronger concern:

Are miracles real?

Is it possible for you to create miracles as the secret to getting what you want.

Let's consider, are miracles real?

Whatever your answer is to either of these questions, I can tell you why miracles can happen, not magic, and are for real as the secret to getting what you want while in this world.

The Course in Miracles states, "Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them."

I have seen a great deal of miracles in my own life, and I see real miracles practically every day.

Would not that be a true miracle if you are considering improving your health, and experienced, say, the power of mindfulness meditation come into your life and become a great friend and teacher?

Would not that be a wonderful miracle if you are thinking of enhancing your spiritual life, and you suddenly discovered a book by a spiritual master who thinks just like you do?

Would not that be the miracle if you wish to enhance your financial life, and a retired multi-millionaire living on the other end of the world contacted you and was willing to teach you his/her success strategies?

Would not that be the miracle as the secret to getting what you want when you want to do a joint business endeavor, and someone from out of nowhere calls you and turns out together you make one of the very best joint ventures ever?

Would not that be the miracle to get the life you want when you think about a service for an issue, and a brilliant concept unexpectedly hits you?

True miracles happen all over the globe every day, and the secret to getting what you want through real miracles can happen to you.

And the good news is you can intentionally create true miracles in your life, and you don't need to do much work.

All it takes is a couple of brand-new ideas and your inner-awareness.

By putting these powerful brand-new thoughts into your awareness, and then reflecting it into your exterior world, you are actually transforming your life by way of the miracle.

The Course in Miracles further teaches, "Miracles are natural. When they do not occur something has gone wrong."

I am going to give you a quick food-for-thought lesson on the secret to getting what you want while here on earth, that you can use for how to create miracles in your life.

It begins with opening your mind and going within to your inner-awareness.

Everything you desire is already here:.

Einstein had spent years to prove something to the world, "Time does not exist, it only exists as an illusion in a human's mind".

The other day is the same as today and it is the exact same as tomorrow if time does not exist. There is only one time that is now.

If time does not exist, then everything that potentially exists will be existing here.

Envision you are taking a trip from point A to point B, however it takes no time at all since time doesn't exist. There is no range; they both exist at the very same place and at the exact same time.

Everything that can perhaps exist, exists here, consisting of the picture you are holding in your mind.

The things you envision in your mind are absolutely nothing artificial, it is as real as your arms and legs.

Researchers explain the world as a world of possibility, everything in this world exists as a probability, and this is why miracles can happen.

The portrait you paint in your mind exists as a probability that is already in quantum consciousness waiting to take shape and material form.

It's how to create miracles. How to create miracles is as basic as that, select your own picture, and the universe will supply the result you want.

Here is something I'm asking you to do after you're finished contemplating this lesson:.

Pick something you actually desire, form a visual, a photo, if you will, firmly in your mind, and tell yourself that it is currently here, and accept it as a fact.

Do this quite a few times throughout the day and you will get addicted to it, and before you know it the reality of the secret to getting what you want will be real in this world.

See how quickly you may learn how to create miracles in your life.

To the miracle in your daily life!

Message From the Universe: Your Dreams Will Come True! Soon Enough

"True, it's not always easy to imagine places you've never been but dream of going; owning things you've never had but dream of having; and being the type of person you've never been but aspire to be. But it is easy to imagine the after-party. With best friends and family in the swankiest club you know while your favorite music plays. Proposing toasts, receiving toasts, crying happy tears. Getting hugs, hearing congratulations, leading the conga-line. And otherwise carrying on as you do when you're feeling light as a feather and all the world makes sense.

And that should pretty much do it.

Follow yourself!

The Universe"

The feeling of success is impalpable. Feeling it flowing into your veins give you chills and makes you want it more. You start looking at new homes, exotic cars, vacation spot to go with your family and so on and so forth. You work harder to make these dreams come true so you can experience the success you've been thriving for. Everyday, you wake up at the crack of dawn to start your day right, go work out, eat right, meditate before the day starts, read the news, and be pumped into action. Every calls you make, every deal you close is getting you closer and closer to making your dreams a reality. It doesn't need to be to acquire wealth, even though it does help get what you want, but primarily making you HAPPY. Whatever makes you happy is what you need to aim for, and that is the true meaning of success. We all have our own definition to what success is and this is how it should be.

We all want different things out of life and that is OK by all means. NO one should decide what is best for you because that is your job, especially when being an adult. We all strive for becoming unique by doing something that no one has done before. Your hard work will pay off. As long as you believe in yourself, as long as you keep on moving forward, despite the challenges you will face daily, you will get to your destination. Your thoughts will primarily create the path to your success, but your belief and actions is what will pave that path towards your destination. Just focus on the grand picture and the rest will follow. Never deter from your dreams and never let anyone come in between what you truly believe in, and that is YOURSELF.
