Making hard choices can be easy!
You know what it takes to be happy and constantly filled with joy, so why not choose that as the way you want to live? You know what it takes to be balanced and feel like a superstar in every aspect of your life, constantly "growing and glowing". Perhaps you're wondering how you can pull this off when you're already overwhelmed by the stress of a million things to do everyday. It's simple: PLAN IT! If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Planning is a must if you want to live a balanced life. Successful people choose: they make the decision and then DO exactly what they've decided.
Where you are today in your business and your life is a result of only one person—YOU. If you are going to change your life, you must first take responsibility for the state of your life, which includes the state of your business, your relationships, your health, and your personal growth. You must accept that everything, the good, the bad - everything you’re happy about and everything that makes you sad or even mad is all a result of your past thinking, behaviors, and choices. You have control over only one person—YOU. Change your thinking and you will change your behaviors, choices, and life.
The state of your life today didn’t occur because of your family or friends, your boss, the economy, the competition, or any person or influence outside of you. If that is what you are thinking, there’s a name for you—it’s called ‘victim’. For victims it’s easier to play the ‘blame game’ than take responsibility for their lives and current life situation. You are the only one that has the power in this very moment to choose your thoughts, take responsibility for them, and change your life. No one else can choose your life but you!
Today is the day to get your dreams in check, stop and think whether what you are thinking and doing is going to take you where you want to go or give you more of the same.
It's not what you are that is holding you back. It’s what you think you are not. When discouragement, fear or anger take control of you, you are not thinking about a positive future. Only thoughts about a positive future can take you in that direction and create a different life. If you don’t change anything today, tomorrow will be exactly the same; next week will be exactly the same, next year will be exactly the same, and so goes your life.
Here are some questions to ask yourself which will reveal whether you are on the right track:
· Have you lost focus? If so, STOP and get it back!
· Are you 100% committed? If you have the attitude, “I don’t think this will work but I’ll give it a try,” you’re kidding yourself about being committed.
· Have you gotten rid of distraction or are you ignoring them?
· What action are you taking daily? It’s not just about Attitude—Action plays an equally important role.
Shocking fact: 90% of people will earn 10% upward or downward of what they are making right now for the rest of their lives. Take yourself out of that 90%! If you have created what you have right now, you can create something different if you choose to.
Listen to the voice that says, “I know I can do it.” Have a mindset that is unstoppable. The good news is you don’t have to be super-human. Make a decision to be great, see yourself mentally and emotionally already where you want to be in the future, set your environment up so it supports you, and get going!
Look at your life through eyes that see you already where you want to be. Keep seeing yourself there and the universe will accommodate you. When you do it once, you ‘conceive it’, when you do it often, you come to ‘believe it’, and you know what Napoleon Hill says comes next: You ‘achieve it!’
Do you wonder why it is important to cultivate a good attitude about money? Money is filled with the intelligence of the universe from which it is created. Money reacts to your attitude about it. You attract what you appreciate and money responds accordingly. If you think favorably about money, you multiply and increase it, however if you criticize and condemn it in any way, either your own money or another’s, you dissipate it and repel it from you. If you were to study the lives and experiences of prosperous-minded people, you would find that they have a friendly attitude toward money.
Remember that your thoughts make your world. Your thoughts about money have to be appreciative in order for money to appreciate you and be attracted to you. You should never declare, “I can’t afford this”. You don’t want to talk about being ‘down an out’, or even speak unkindly about those who have money. It is not wise to magnify financial difficulties. If you brag or discuss your financial troubles (and some people actually do so to gain attention or sympathy), then you will always have financial troubles to brag about.
Do not discuss the financial difficulties of others. If you think of yourself as prosperous but of others as living in lack, through the law of attraction you are inviting the same thing to happen to you. The golden rule of prosperous thinking is that you should not think or say anything concerning another’s financial affairs that you would not want to experience in your own.
When you hear of another’s good fortune, wealthy possessions or inheritance, you should feel great joy and appreciation. Don’t think, talk, or act any way but prosperously. Don’t allow others to talk to you in any way but prosperously. Don’t read anything or take seriously anything that is printed or on TV that is contrary to prosperous thinking.
Think of it as money being charged with divine intelligence that tunes in on what you say or think about it, and responds accordingly. Have a prosperous attitude towards money. Use this affirmation daily: “All financial doors are open and free and endless money now comes to me.”
Let the journey begin as you feel gratitude for all that is coming to you, all that comes to others, and all the abundance in the universe. Mentally and emotionally bask in abundance and appreciate it! Welcome money from all directions.
Do you know you have a vibrational self? Only a few people know that they have a part that runs on energy. It is one of the most important parts of you in creating the world you want. After reading this article, you will have a mental picture of your energy body. It should be foremost in your mind as you think, speak, and determine your momentary feelings.
The condition of your energy self, that is the vibrations it is radiating, shapes your present moment as well as your future. The fact is that you are a living, breathing magnet attracting exactly what your energy self is radiating. Whatever you are feeling, you are vibrating, and therefore attracting. Think of everything in this universe as energy, because it is. The universe is composed of pure energy. Energy vibrates at different rates of speed and because of this it takes on different consistencies. Physicists have proven that everything in your world that appears solid is actually made up of swirling molecules, which are vibrating at different frequencies and molds them into their current forms. It can be solid like a chair and vibrate very slowly. It can be a finer form of energy like water which vibrates faster. It can be a much finer form of energy such as light, which vibrates faster than you can even imagine. Your own body therefore is energy. The electrons and atoms in your body make waves of living energy which ripple and spread themselves into patterns.
Scientists have measured the body’s vibrational frequency when people were at various physical and emotional states. They found that the human body becomes stronger or weaker depending on a person’s mental state. The lowest vibration was shame, therefore when you have a shameful thought you weaken yourself. The next is guilt, and then apathy, grief, fear, anxiety, craving, anger, and hate. Going up the scale to positive emotions, you have willingness, optimism, acceptance, forgiveness, reason and understanding, love and reverence, joy and serenity, peace and bliss, and enlightenment.
Physicists have also found that people actually have the ability to control the frequency at which their bodies vibrate. Of course they can! If people can control their thoughts, why couldn’t they control the feelings behind those thoughts! You have the ability and power within you to increase your vibrational rate at any moment you choose.
You’re vibrational or energy self is housed within your physical body and is closely related to it. Before an illness manifests physically, those who can monitor the energy body find changes and imbalances there first. You have major energy centers which are located at specific points in your energy body. Because it is the universal Law of Attraction that you magnetically attract what you vibrate, you must first make sure that your energy centers and cells are filled with light so that you are vibrating at a rate of speed that will attract the things and people you desire in your life. You can accomplish this by breathing in white light. See white light coming into the top of your head. Breathe in and feel the energy as you mentally visit and infuse each energy center. As you fill your body with this light, drop down to the next energy center and continue, stopping at each one as you bathe it in the white energizing light.
You imagine all the time. Your imagination rules your world. What you imagine is already real at the moment it is conceived, so just go for it. Ok, begin. Breathe in white light. Feel it as it infuses:
The top of the head
Forehead
The throat
The heart
The abdominal/stomach area (behind the navel)
The reproductive/genital area
The base of the spine
The last step is to mentally send the white light up and down the spine and see it emanate outward from the spine to all parts of your body.
This can take from a few seconds to several minutes.
Many things during the day deplete your energy; therefore it is important to nourish your energy body at least every morning, and often throughout the day if you are feeling down emotionally or energetically depleted. After you’ve supplied your body with this light energy on a regular basis for a short while, you will be able to feel a difference in your energy level as surely as you can feel a difference after you’ve had a nourishing physical meal. When you infuse your energy centers with white light, you will begin to feel younger and even look younger. You don’t age as fast because cell tissues don’t break down as quickly. You are more creative and spontaneous. You are healthier because you are raising the vibration of every one of your other selves: the physical, the mental, the emotional, and the spiritual.
What Depletes Your Energy Body?
Everything in the universe is energy. You are an energy being. Because of this, it is important for you to realize 1) where your energy is being depleted 2) what you are personally plugging your energy into 3) how it is currently affecting you and 4) how to keep your energy. If you send your energy away from you in a way that depletes it, you can actually end up with an energy deficit, which can be deadly, literally! When this occurs, degenerative diseases, depression, suicide, and such deathly situations can occur.
It is important to realize that your energy body is closely connected to your physical body and has a great influence on it. The speed at which you vibrate is determined by your feelings, is also determined by the speed of those things into which you plug your energy circuits, as well as the amount of energy you simply give away or squander on unimportant things. The amount of energy and the speed at which your energy is vibrating determines the rate at which your physical cells can heal or the rate at which they degenerate.
Your thoughts are accelerated forms of energy which directly influence not only your energy body, but others’ energy bodies. Negative thoughts vibrate at a slower rate of speed than positive thoughts. Negative thoughts are heavier than positive thoughts. People often say, “Lighten up,” when they see you are depressed or feeling badly. When you have resolved a major negative situation you feel like you’ve had a heavy load lifted off you. On the other hand, positive thoughts are lighter and vibrate at a much faster speed than negative ones. You feel differently when you think of negative situations than when you think of happy ones.
When you think about another person, your circuits are literally touching circuits that connect with them. They do not have to be thinking about you in return. You create the energy flow with your thoughts. Picture in your mind how this works. When you think of someone, you literally connect with them, and if you could see your energy-filled self and theirs, you would see a place where you were both connected. You send and transmit your energy to that person and part of your energy self is becoming part of theirs.
Words are powerful accelerated forms of energy and create vibrations equivalent to what you are speaking. Depending upon your thoughts and your words, you either give or receive positive energy creating a healing, energizing effect with circuitry benefiting both participants, or you connect your circuits to places that drain you and them of energy and become damaging leaks.
What causes leaks? Worry causes leaks. Your worrisome thinking physically drains you. It will connect you with the related energy of the problem and out pours your energy. Remember you only have so much! Not only does it cause leaks, radiating worry vibrations can attract and create the very thing you are worrying about. When your mind accesses the concept of what you don’t want to happen, it sees the picture, takes orders and creates it. My friend called me late one night to tell me her mother had just caused an accident. I asked her where her mother had been driving. She indicated that she wasn’t driving at all, but was obsessing that her son, who hadn’t arrived home when he should have, must be in an accident. She continued to worry, explaining where it probably happened, and literally creating it over and over again. My friend told me that just before he arrived home, much later, the son was involved in an auto accident. Thanks, mom!
Resentment, power struggles, and envy all cause leaks. Judging a person causes leaks, lying causes leaks, criticism causes leaks, being fearful of something causes leaks, burdensome thoughts cause leaks. You’ve got the idea! Be careful! Don’t give your energy away!
Every day and every minute, you need one hundred percent of your energy. You need to be one hundred percent present every single moment of the day in every situation. Have you ever met people who act like they are not all there? They are stressed about things in their past or future and they can’t get their thoughts or acts together in the present. They seem scattered. They are! Their energy is literally scattered and they don’t have enough left to be present in their current daily lives. They have energy being poured into a resentful situation that happened to them as a child. They have energy draining into a power struggle at work. They have energy draining into sibling rivalry. They have energy draining into a non-harmonious romantic relationship. They are prime candidates to become energetically bankrupt—resulting in nervous breakdowns, depression, and degeneration.
This can occur to any person whose energy is not sufficient to maintain his or her health because of the choice to hold on to negative past or future situations or perhaps a resentful childhood situation. This person could have, at anytime since childhood, disconnected and stopped the energy flow, but chose to hang onto it and become depleted energetically, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, because of it. This results in low vibrations, poor health, and their past becomes their future.
When you wake up in the morning, you need a full body vibrating with light and energy, but because of the things you have energetically invested in you can end up with only sixty or thirty percent of what you should have to function. Your cells pay the price! Your health pays the price! Your relationships pay the price! Your energy level pays the price! Your prosperity pays the price! Your present moment pays the price! Your future pays the price!
What are you investing in with your energy by means of your thoughts, words, feelings, and actions? Picture your body with energy flowing in through your head and millions of circuits emanating from your body. Picture these energy circuits as cords going to and from your body connecting other people and things. That circuitry has been created by you and can be changed by you at any time you choose.
From this moment on, think of yourself as energy being! Automatically think about everything energetically! Make it a habit. Ask yourself if what you are thinking about and the way you feel about it, mentally and emotionally, make you stronger energetically or deplete you and cause you to radiate and attract low vibrations? You live life better when you are conscious of your energy body. Your entire life will work better when you come from this new point of view. Where you send your mind and emotions is where you send a piece of yourself and determines what you receive in return.
Evaluate your energy self and what you are currently connecting with. If something disempowers you, unplug! Get out or it will cost you! Literally visualize yourself unplugging and change your thoughts and feelings to positive. At any minute you can unplug your circuits and take your energy back. You now understand that life doesn’t deal you a hand. You are creating you, yourself, moment by moment, by that which you choose to think about, speak about, and how you feel and vibrate about these things.
There are actually people who are energy-suckers. They literally drain your energy when you spend time with them. How do you know who they are? You just know. After you speak with or spend time with them for any length of time, you literally feel drained. Stay away from these people. They get their energy by taking it away from other people. They don’t have enough because they are victims or have spent their energy unwisely.
Some groups of people actually lift you up and increase your energy. In other groups, the interaction of the members is draining. Eighty-six women with advanced breast cancer were divided into two groups. One group received standard medical care; the other received medical care and weekly group therapy sessions. The women who received group therapy lived nearly twice as long as those who received only medical care. To these women, the group supplied energy. Evaluate how you feel after a group interaction and you will know whether association with these specific people is exhilarating or affecting you negatively.
What about Music?
What about it? Music is one of the most influential ways to create feelings. You can listen to music that creates positive high vibrational feelings or listen to music which blasts the energy out of your body and leaves you drained and leaking. Music itself has a vibration that can be measured. The words of music also play a major role in creating the feelings associated with the music. If you listen to music with words that scream of hatred, abuse, and bad things, then you can only expect those things to come to you. If you listen to music which speaks of love and happiness, you’ll receive the same. Even if you are not consciously listening to the words, your creative mind is.
There is something that no one else is sharing with you and it’s about time it came out! The vibrational you is represented in all three of your critical energy fields and if you are not using the Law of Attraction in all three areas, you are giving the universe mixed messages and are probably stuck on your road to success. I call it the WOW factor.
Within you: Putting the Law of Attraction to work in your thoughts, feeling, words, affirmations, and visualizations.
On you: Dressing to match your personal energy with the colors, fabrics, and clothing you wear.
What’s around you: The flow of energy that surrounds you, your environment, influences you greatly.
You can learn to hold the vision and incorporate the habits that allow you to radiate consistent energy from all three areas of your energy field - and the good news is that it is fun.
What does your walk say about you? Are you focused on your goals or do you let distractions get in the way? Do you have self-confidence? By the way, you can change the way you walk!
Here is the SIMPLE SECRET to a lifetime of happiness! You must use the Law of Attraction in all 3 critical areas of your energy field. I call it the WOW factor.

To make it simple, like attracts like. You can learn to hold the vision and incorporate the habits that allow you to radiate the energy of that which you want to attract - and the good news is that it is fun. Learning to do this is the most exciting adventure you will ever take.
This article focuses on the incredible, creative power of imagination which comes from Within You.
Decide what you desire and then think of your picture, your visualization, from within the scenario. For example, do not just see a picture of yourself lying on a beach towel on the beach in the Bahamas. If you really want to accomplish a trip to the Bahamas, visualize it like this: Experience the picture as though you were lying on the beach towel on a beach in the Bahamas (rather than seeing yourself do it). What does the sand look like? Is it hot against your hands which touch the tiny grains of sand? How far away from the water are you? What color is the water? Are you enjoying the palm trees above you swaying in the breeze? Do you hear the ocean waves breaking beside you? Do you smell the ocean air? Enjoy the native girl as she asks if you want your hair braided (unless you don’t want to experience those native girls selling their wares on the beach). Listen to the steel band playing behind you from a hut on the beach. Get up and put your feet in the ocean and feel the cool waves on your toes.
You are there! You are experiencing it in advance! You are not just seeing yourself there, like a picture. You are in the picture! Yes! You are feeling what it is like to be there already!
OK, do it. Place a thought of a desired future situation in your mind. Make sure you are in the scene. Get the feeling of how you would feel if the situation were already occurring. Take a careful look at the picture. Pictures you see in your mind, that you don’t actually believe can become a reality in your life, are usually black and white, darker in color, poorly lit, somewhat blurry, far away and small.
Let’s make your picture believable. Is it in color? If not, paint your picture with beautiful bright memorable colors to enhance it.
Usually, you will need to turn the lights up on your picture. Make it bright and easy to see.
Make sure you bring your picture into focus so that it is crystal clear. It’s easy to bring the blurry edges into focus.
Next, bring the picture closer. Of course you can: it’s your mind, your thoughts, your picture, and you are in control!
If your picture is small, make it bigger and put it in the center of your mind rather than in a corner.
Is there any motion in it? It is a more memorable picture and easier to access in the future if you have some movement.
Do you hear any sounds in your picture? I hope so. Listen. Perhaps you are exclaiming with excitement that you are succeeding with your goal. Perhaps someone else is making a statement to you. Perhaps there is important background noise depending on the setting. If it is a beach, you can hear the waves splashing on the sea shore. Put some sounds into your picture.
Do you smell anything? The sense of smell is very effective in making an impression on your creative mind. Make it REAL!
Now, feel how it would feel if it had already happened, capture that feeling and intensify it! Intensify it again. Intensify it again and soak up that feeling.
You just did a mental exercise. It is called imaging or visualizing. Your mind is always picturing. It thinks in pictures. Visualizing is no more than the conscious picturing of your future. The imaginary picture you just visualized will become much easier to imagine each time you do it.
Why did you do it? What does it accomplish besides being a pleasurable way to see your future desires and goals? It creates them!
Anyone can accomplish anything if he or she believes it is possible. How is it possible to believe that you can attain a desired goal? You imagine it with feeling. You create it in your mind. The creator gave you power over one thing—your mind! It is the only thing over which you have complete unchallengeable control. Anything that you can create in your mind can to be transmitted into actions.
You have heard the prophetic lines, “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul….” You are the master of your soul and the captain of your fate because you have the power to control (and exercise) your mind! You can change your life only if you consciously change the pictures in your imagination—if you use your imagination constructively, rather than use it destructively and unconsciously.
Napoleon Hill’s famous words, “Whatever you can conceive and believe, you can achieve,” are exactly right! You first conceive your goal in your mind with the feeling you would feel if it were already accomplished. Next, you come to believe it because you repetitively see it with the feeling that it is already accomplished to the point that you know it is yours; and then you achieve it because it is created in your physical world.
The speed of achieving the physical creation often depends on the intensity of the feeling as well as the frequency and the singleness of focus of your visualization.
If you are doubtful about the process because it is so intangible, think about the miracle of electricity. Even if you know nothing about the intricate way that electricity works, you can get the same incredible benefit of it as the smartest electrician on the planet, every time you walk into a room and flip on the switch. It is the same with the picturing power of the mind. Your mind creates the picture, hopefully with conscious intention now that you know the benefits that can result, and then your life is shaped according to your thoughts. Even if you don’t understand how it works, you still receive the benefit.
Psychologists say that the imagination is one of the strongest mind powers. It is actually an age-old device. In ancient times, when a child was born into Royalty, the walls would soon become filled with pictures showing all the experiences that his parents desired in his life.
There are cases of blindfolded men having actually died because they imagined they were cut by a knife across the jugular vein, when in reality a piece of ice was used and water was allowed to drip so they could hear it and imagine their blood was running out.
Instead of fighting or worrying your way out of problems, picture yourself out of them. Take control of every aspect of your life, now, by becoming a specialist in exercising your mind! Definite tangible benefits will be the result of definite specific emotionalized action pictures. Imagine the situation as you wish it to be. Imagination is the creative power of the soul and can accomplish miracles when put to use.
You’ve frequently heard that your intelligence is your most important asset when it comes to accomplishing success. It is not! It is your imagination that shapes your life in any way you choose. Things do not happen to you, they happen through you! You are the director of every play in your mind! That which plays on your mind’s stage soon comes to play on your physical life stage.
You now know you must consciously picture what you want. If you don’t, you are unconsciously picturing what you don’t want. The normal activity of the mind is to picture. Imagination is the author of everything that is formed in the universe. Everything in the universe that has ever come forth, whether it be good or bad, has been brought forth by the creative imagination of mankind. A good example of such a creation is Morgan Robertson’s book, FUTILITY. In 1898, a novel was written about an Atlantic liner, larger than any had ever been built before. In Robertson’s book, the passengers were complacent, rich people. The ship was wrecked on an iceberg and all passengers were killed. Fourteen years later a British shipping company, the White Star line, built a steamer strikingly similar to the one in Robertson’s novel. The new liner was 66,000 tons; the one in Robertson’s book was 70,000 tons. The new liner was 882.5 feet long; the one in Robertson’s book was 800 feet. The new liner could carry about 3000 people; the same with the one in Robertson’s book. Both had only enough lifeboats for a fraction of the people aboard. Both were labeled “unsinkable.” Robertson’s ship was called the Titan; the White Star Line called its ship the Titanic. The scheme was conceived by the author, presented in a book to the minds of the world, who obviously believed it to be possible, because it was achieved.
Deity gives us the power to create. There is no creation without that power. Use it with integrity or pay the consequences! As you visualize and imagine your desires, be guided by knowing that what you desire is for the good of all involved.
People ask me if this is manipulating life. You bet it is. It is direct God-given manipulation with the mind that he has given you. Of all the faculties of man, imagination is the most God-like. Remember that the automatic natural action of the mind is to picture. If you are not taking charge of your life by consciously picturing what you want in a constructive way, you are unconsciously picturing what you don’t want in a destructive way. Deliberate visualization with intense feeling is not only the best way to create your life; it is the best way to change your life. Use it to resolve family or relationship problems, to change your finances, and to create healing.
Experience the incredible feeling of stepping into your true power. Most people think the law of attraction is only at work in their lives by what they think, say and feel; that basically they work only with what’s inside them and forget what’s on the outside. You are giving the universe mixed messages if you do only practice the law of energy as it relates to thoughts, feelings, and words because of equal importance in creating the life you want as it relates to what you wear, what’s on you. When you dress to match your personal energy, you will enjoy increased profits, empowering relationships, and feel more energized.
