Season 2 - Day 65 - Farewell 2008

In the coming hours the clock will strike midnight in my time zone and another year will have come and gone. Much has been written about 2008 and in the coming years, I'm sure some historian will further write about its impact upon mankind. It would be an understatement to suggest that this year was full of up's and down's. Many people were certainly caught off guard by the global meltdown and the looming financial situation. Much like the game "musical chairs" the fortunate have managed to find a seat while the music stops.

However, I often wonder how much longer can the game continue? At what point do the chairs run out? 2008 has not looked kindly upon some, yet for others it has been a life transforming year. Be it luck or something else I fall into the latter camp that has managed to emerge from this year both mentally and physically stronger. I am very thankful for what this year bestowed upon me, and the feeling of gratitude washes over me like a wave of energy. My business has grown and expanded in ways I never thought, I've recorded a pilot for an upcoming show, and so much more exciting things have manifested in my life.

During the past six months as a Law of Attraction practitioner I've experienced joy's and wonders on a scale that I never knew existed. My life has changed for the better this year and I would be remiss if I did not take a brief moment to list the achievements that The Universe manifested for me.

• I started an online business
• My company attracted over 70 new clients (more than the previous 3 years combined)
• I taught a workshop of 19 students
• I run a monthly meet up with 43 members
• I found gold
• I started three successful blogs
• I have over 220 posts on my blogs
• Tens of thousands of people have visited my sites this year
• I finished a year long renovation project on my house
• My business has earned more money than ever before
• I filmed a pilot for an upcoming show
• I am in the process of purchasing a luxury car
• I went on an amazing vacation
• I donated original one of kind sketches to the National Arboretum in Washington DC
• Learned about The Law of Attraction
• Employed a friend that needed a job
• My blog has saved potential scam victims over $20,000
• I'm currently planning a huge birthday bash for 2009
• I've developed stronger friendships with those closest to me
• Performed live with talented musicians at various times
• Self esteem and confidence has increased drastically
• Achieved sales goals throughout the year

All this and so much more has occurred for me in 2008. I am grateful to have lived this year, and I know that 2009 will bring even more prosperity. I've decided to make this coming year my most productive year to date; as I am eagerly awaiting whatever may come my way.

Season 2 - Day 62

On this final weekend of 2008 must say farewell to the NFL regular season. It seems like last week opening kick off commenced, now after 16 fantastic weeks its all but a memory. As I reflect on these moments, I am drawn to how unpredictable life can be. At any time situations, people, and events can change on a dime.

Before the football season started, the mantra from the NFL was "Live in the Now." When I first heard that slogan I thought it was appropriate for me as a practitioner of The LOA. Focusing on the now directs one's thoughts and energy to become present with what is happening now and not the past. No matter what has happened in the past, there is nothing anyone can do about it. Instead of wasting time focusing on negative past events, accept life for what it is and move on. By moving forward, we are able to see and meet new challenges head on, instead of being sideswiped.

During the week leading up to a big NFL game, the players and coaches prepare for their next opponent by studying their tactics. In life we can achieve success and manifest goals by preparing for what may come next. Additionally, in order to maintain victory or mastery of the goal at hand, one must dissect the desired goal and formulate a game plan to cut straight through
task to absolute victory. Even if success or victory may not come instantly, persistence and integrity will lead to manifestations which may lead to achieving the desired results.

This afternoon I took the final step in completing a six month long business project. I started in late July and will wrap up tomorrow evening. The renovation project has expanded my business and will bring in more money than ever. I am truly grateful and feel extremely blessed to have had an extremely productive 2008. While fears of global recessions and dire economic conditions have affected many, I can honestly say that my business has managed to expand and will continue to lead the charge into next year.

With day 62 in the books, and the year all but over I must humbly give my gratitude to The Universe for bestowing me with the opportunity to make others happy. I love the feeling of knowing that I am making a difference in the overall prosperity of other people, by instilling self-confidence and happiness everyday. Never before have I felt so connected to my clients, friends, family, and to myself. The personal growth that I have experienced within me is expanding daily, and I enjoy knowing that next year will be even more prosperious than ever. I am thrilled with the prospect of living life to its fullest in changing times.

Season 2 - Day 61

This week was amazing. On Christmas day I found out that another client has been attracted to my business. I am so thankful for the opportunity to service people from all over the world. In addition I am in the process of allowing more ideal clients to purchase goods and services from me. As December winds down, I am actively pursuing more sales and finishing this year off strong.

With less than a week left in 2008, this year has been the most productive and lucrative for my company. I am grateful for the record sales and clients that The Universe has brought. I have decided to create new marketing materials and products to my companies portfolio. In addition I have begun to formulate a new definitive plan for attracting even more sales in 2009. I am in the process of putting that plan into action today, and will strive more than ever to manifest my sales goals and desires.

It has been fun documenting my successes and thoughts for the past six months. I have learned alot about The Law of Attraction, what I can achieve, and how to create even more successes. I have grown to realize that life is truly what we make of it. Therefore I will stay busy working towards my goals instead of letting procrastination set in. My goals for next year are the most ambitious I've ever had. I will own a 3,000 square foot house, I will drive a Porsche, I will celebrate my birthday in a foreign country, and my business will make more money than at any other time.

For now I feel humbled to have spent the holidays with my closest friends and family members. I enjoy knowing that people need and can depend on me no matter what time day or night. I have worked very hard to maintain professional and personal relationships this year and it's nice to feel needed. Deep down I know that everything I desire to continue my extra ordinary life is within reach. I have been blessed with intelligence, integrity, diligence, and a strong work ethic. I am at my best when combining these attributes, so I will continue to develop these skills. My life is fruitful and I am looking forward to living it more and more.

Persistence

Napolean Hill once wrote that persistence is an essential factor in the procedure of transmuting desire into its monetary equivalent. Like all states of mind, persistence is based upon definite causes, among them these:

• DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE. Knowing what one wants is the first, and perhaps, the most important step toward the development of persistence. A strong motive forces one to surmount many difficulties.
• DESIRE. It is comparatively easy to acquire and to maintain persistence in pursuing the object of intense desire.
• SELF-RELIANCE. Belief in one's ability to carry out a plan encourages one to follow the plan through with persistence.
• DEFINITENESS OF PLANS. Organized plans, even though they may be weak and entirely impractical, encourage persistence.
• ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE. Knowing that one's plans are sound, based upon experience or observation, encourages persistence; "guessing" instead of "knowing" destroys persistence.
• CO-OPERATION. Sympathy, understanding and harmonious cooperation with others tend to develop persistence.
• WILL-POWER. The habit of concentrating one's thoughts upon the building of plans for the attainment of a definite purpose, leads to persistence.
• HABIT. Persistence is the direct result of habit. The mind absorbs and becomes part of the daily experiences upon which it feeds. Fear, the worst of all enemies, can be effectively cured by forced repetition of acts of courage. Everyone who has seen active service in war knows this.

Before leaving the subject of persistence, take inventory of yourself, and in what particular, if any you are lacking in this essential quality. Measure yourself courageously, point by point, and see how many of the eight factors of persistence you lack. The analysis may lead to discoveries that will give you a new grip on yourself.

Season 2 - Day 57

The past week has been full of hard work and celebrations. I hired a friend of mine who has been out of work for a while to make repairs on my house. We installed new doors, painted ceilings, installed new casings, and uprooted trees. Time was a serious factor due to an office christmas party at my house last night.

Between the two of us working 10 hour days, we managed to finish with thirty minutes to spare. In fact I had enough time to clean up and heat appetizers just as guests were arriving. I am so thankful for having the money to hire a good friend, which allowed him the ability to purchase christmas gifts for his family. In return for his fine craftsmanship my house looks better than ever before, as a keystone has been placed on a full year of renovations.

While 2008 may have been challenging at times, it has been full of opportunity. I've gained more clients this year than ever before, and feel great about attracting even more clients in 2009. I also that I've grown alot this year in terms of leadership, decisiveness, and integrity. In addition I came to the realization that the Law of Attraction does work, and is in fact always at work in my life. I accept this and know that The Universe is already working to bring me what I truly desire.

On day 57 I find myself excited about the future. I can physically view the tangible results from my hard work. In addition I can see that my life has meaning and that many people depend on me. I have decided to finish this week and the remainder of the year on a strong positive note. I can feel increased financial independence being bestowed upon me. Furthermore, I am in the process of attracting more clients before January. More and more I can feel and see myself achieving this goal.

Season 2 - Day 50

There is an old saying that states "The end of one thing is the beginning of another." When looking at the current global economic conditions, this statement rings more true than ever. Kaybee toy stores started in 1922 and are a staple point for children around the USA. Recently, the Board of Directors for Kaybee toys announced it plans to close all 277 stores by early 2009. In less than a year the foundation of an 86 year old company crumbles to nothing.

Likewise, earlier this month other giant chain stores such as Circuit City, Mervyn's, Starbucks, and many more have announced huge job cuts and store closures. This is significant because when the "to big to fail" companies lose revenue, it brings money back to "Main Street." This means while the huge mega malls wither and close, local main street establishments will experience a revival. This systemic change is the perfect opportunity for entrepreneurs.

The mantra for 2008 has been "Change." The current economic situation facilitates the new revolution for those who are savvy enough make definite decisions, while acting quickly on their plans. The Law of Attraction states that when a business closes its doors, another business will benefit greatly. Money is energy and it always flows towards the path of least resistance. Never in recent times has the opportunity to create a comfortable lifestyle been so attainable. The entrepreneur who sees and acts upon the current and near future trends will experience success on a higher level than in recent memory.

Yet while this may seem overly simplified, many people will procrastinate and find themselves in even worse financial straights. Procrastination is the killer of all dreams, desires, and achievements. To combat this scourge upon mankind, one must stay vigilant and keep pushing for that which they want. We all experience moments of dragging our feet or outright laziness, yet when we persevere through the drudging feeling of wane, that is when personal growth and character is formed.

Today I have decided to continue expanding my non-profit organization and other business ventures. I am in the process of raising enough money to fulfill my short term goals, which will provide desperately needed infrustructure to people in need. More and more I picture in my mind what it feels like to achieve this. The journey has only yet begun!

Season 2 - Day 48

The weather this weekend has been perfect. The cloudy skies have given way to crisp clear blue skies. I'm a huge fan of colder climates and for some reason October - December are my absolute favorite months. My task today is to assist in setting up christmas decorations. I was remodeling my house last year, so there was no christmas tree. After two years it's time for christmas in my house.

I found some more photos from my trip to Washington DC and decided to post them. Overall I was satisfied with how my photos turned out, the low lighting conditions were an obstacle but some people think they are very nice. On my next vacation I will do whatever I can to capture even better photos. I've decided to do a little research and will consider purchasing a digital SLR camera.

This coming week will be devoted to attracting more money for my business. I am in the process of getting paid for my last project and can see myself already in possession of the amount that I desire. I love seeing my business expanding and the thought of being financially independent seems more attainable everyday. I am in the process of creating a new plan for January that will be beneficial to me and my business.

On another front, my consumer reports website is now averaging over 120 hits a day. My goal is to bump that total to at least 500 hits a day as soon as possible. I know this is possible and I am committed to making this happen ASAP. I truly enjoy the feeling of knowing that I am helping people from around the world, and as a result my visitors avoid being scam victims. When I started the site in April I never imagined it being as successful as it is. Now that I can imagine it, the Universe will deliver it to me. Yes life really can be that simple if we allow it to be.

The last weeks of 2008 will be very productive for me. I've grown so much this year and learned more and more about myself. As the holiday season moves along, I understand that a new year will begin. In a short time from now, I will have the opportunity to start anew, as if being reborn into a new set of 365 days to accomplish that which I desire most. The future is not set, certain things may be, but free will is what rules. The Universe obeys free will and responds accordingly. Perhaps no greater sentiment could be said from me regarding this matter. Proof again that I constantly growing and becoming more secure with who I am and where I want to go!

7 Steps to Unlimited Success

Are you tired of your dreams being just wishful thinking or unattainable fantasies? One major difference between a dreamer and a successful person is the ability to achieve goals. The dreamer just dreams while the successful person puts their dreams into action. Goals are the blueprint to making your dreams a reality.
Get your goals going by following these 7 proven steps:
1. Determine your goals. Establishing clear goals lay the foundation of ultimately achieving them. Put your goals on paper. Be specific. When dreams are too vague, establishing goals becomes difficult. Have a clear vision of what you want the result to be. Ask yourself, "What do I really want?" Determining what goals you really want to accomplish will make the steps to achieving them easier to define.

2. Make a Commitment. You must give 100% to seeing your goals all the way through. Adopt a no excuses approach. Be honest with yourself. Are you willing to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals? Are you willing to devote your time, energy, and finances if necessary? Are you ready to make sacrifices? Is your dream worth fighting for? If the desire is strong enough, you will be able to stay on track and let nothing derail you. There is no need to move forward until you can commit.

3. Plan of Action. Now that your goals are clear, you must begin to put them in motion. Develop a plan of action- specific steps that lead to accomplishing your goals. It is amazing how many people stop at just determining their goals. Success is about doing, it is about action. Really focus on your goals one at a time and ask yourself, "What actions do I need to do to accomplish it?" Identify the outcome you want, and decide what steps are needed to move forward.

4. Give Yourself Deadlines. Look at your plan of action and determine at least 3 weekly tasks that will bring you closer to achieving each of your goals. If your goal is to lose 25 lbs. in 6 months, your action tasks could be to join a gym, make an appointment with a nutritionist, and remove all junk food from kitchen. Choose your deadline and stick to it- no excuses, no matter what. You must determine tasks and deadlines on a weekly basis. You can also consider what you want to accomplish in a year, 6 months, and 1 month to help establish your weekly tasks.

5. Get prepared for roadblocks. Once you are on the road to success, you can expect some bumps along the way. It will happen, so you might as well get prepared. What has stopped you before? Chances are those same obstacles will try to stop you again. Learn ways to blast the barriers that keep you from your dreams. Turn negative thoughts into positive ones, surround yourself with supportive people, don't just quit if you can't finish a task, read at the library if you are too distracted at home. Do whatever it takes to keep you on your mission. Always remember your best protection is to keep your eye on the prize. When discouragement comes, close your eyes and visualize achieving your goal. Take it a step further and really feel that moment of victory.

6. Get support. There is nothing like the support of a trusted friend who is willing to help you. They can keep you on track to achieving your goals. They will hold you accountable and ask you how you are doing with your weekly tasks. Knowing that you have to "check-in" with someone is a huge motivator. Go over your goals, plan of action, and weekly tasks with them. You can also do activities together. Determine and agree on how best they can help you. They will be your cheerleader- always rooting for you to win. Establish some time with them at least once a week. Let your friend know where you are and what needs to be achieved for the week. Share with them any successes and disappointments along the way.

7. Celebrate the small victories. It is easy to be discouraged when it takes time to achieve your goals. Experience the beauty and victory in accomplishing all the smaller tasks that lead to your ultimate desire. Celebrating the small successes is a great way to remain motivated and inspired.
You will get your goals going by following these 7 proven steps. Momentum is powerful. Goal setting is one of the most effective tools to transforming your life. So take the necessary action now and make your goals come true today. There is nothing as rewarding, exhilarating, and satisfying as seeing your goals become a reality.
Now get those goals going!

Season 2 - Day 46

So long to a good work week. I had the opportunity to enjoy this past week. I cooked, cleaned, took care of business, and enjoyed a couple bottles of wine. My good friend stopped by and we drank a bottle of sake, which turned out to be really cool.

I am now in the process of completing my application process for graduate school and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. This year has been amazing and it feels so good to reflect and see how far I've come. Overall 2008 has been an introspective year, and I have accomplished so many feats by breaking ground on new projects.

As the dawn of a new year rises I am committed to taking a European vacation in late winter or spring. I am currently deciding between Switzerland, Czech Republic, or Spain. I know that the Universe is already working to bring me this desire, and I love seeing myself enjoying an optimal European vacation. No matter where I end up, it just feels good to mention visiting new places and seeing new sights. Life is meant to be lived, and I am ready to live more and more everyday.

On another personal note I am looking forward to closing out a four month job for my business. The money that I will receive for this will allow me to purchase a new luxury car, a vacation, fund my non-profit organization, start new business endeavours, continue current business operations, and save more money than ever. I love seeing myself achieving this milestone and I am committed to seeing it through.

This weekend will bring me the opportunity to finish my projects, and allow me to focus on achieving financial success. I want it to happen because whenever I sent my mind to a task, it does come to fruition. Here's to finishing the year off strong!!

Season 2 - Day 43

Man alive, where does the time go? It's now day 43 and so much is happening. My family is moving closer to purchasing a luxury car, my relative is in the process of obtaining a new job, and my non-profit website is about to go live. I am so excited about life and and what the Universe is manifesting for me.

By the end of this week I expect my business to close out the biggest job in two years. The money received from this will be a huge blessing and will be put to good use. Among other things, I am looking forward to launching a new internet based venture. For the past two years I have had an idea of creating a social networking site and now I'm at the point where that can be a reality. I've decided that a business dedicated to bringing people together can be successful, especially these uncertain times.

On another note, today I received an email from the law enforcement community due to the overwhelming success of my consumer reports website. As of today, I estimate that over 30,000 visitors a month check out my site. As a result, the online scams featured have finally gotten the attention of law enforcement. More importantly I am grateful that my site steers people away from becoming victims. In these economic conditions I understand that many people are hurting financially, and it brightens my day to know that I am helping tens of thousands of people from around the world each and every month.

My goal is to achieve 100,000 visitors a month to my site, and to actually put the crooks who commit online scams in jail. I have decided the best course of action would be to continue spreading my message, and by turning up the pressure on would be con men. More and more I see myself achieving this goal, and being featured on a tv news segment.

Before this week is finished I am in the process of attracting the following:

• I will finish the job my company is working on
• I am in the process of completing my non profit website
• I am in the process of attracting 100,000 visitors to my consumer reports site
• I have decided to take a European vacation
• I am in the process of selecting a new car
• I will have a new desire statement

Overall this week is going well and I am thankful for everything that has occurred. I am staying positive because I know lots can happen and the Universe is responding to my deepest wishes and desires. I have achieved many things in the past 43 days, and I know that the remaining 47 will be amazing! I'm ready to accept whatever comes my way.

Season 2 - Day 39

The holiday season is upon us and soon Christmas will be here. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by. It seems like yesterday I was ringing in 2008 and now a new year in knocking on the door. Where does the time go? On the bright side I have achieved so many things this year and I know 2009 will be even better.

Professionally, I am learning everyday about my company and who I am as a leader. I am so grateful for living in the country I do and having the ability to pursue my dreams and aspirations. I have decided to act upon my unlimited potential and tap The Universe for the wonders it will provide. My life is filled with extraordinary events and people that have helped shape it. As this year winds down I want to continuously live in an attitude of gratitude for what I have been given.

This week I received an inquiry for a potential customer from the Netherlands. I love knowing that when I allow new people into my life, The Universe responds by sending me that which I give focus, energy, and attention towards. I've never had a customer from Holland so I am truly excited at the possibility of this opportunity. More and more I enjoy the feeling of December being my highest grossing sales month of the year. When I close my eyes and think about this month, I love seeing my business finish 2008 on a strong note.

In April of this year I started a consumer reports website dedicated to fighting internet crime. I remember choosing the layout and writing my first post with the vague notion that perhaps people would read it. After a month or more I received my first comment and was so excited that someone actually took the time to read it. As time went on I noticed more and more people took interest, and my message was spreading. Today I estimate that over 30,000 visitors a month view my site, and the number is growing larger by the day. I have people from Europe, North America, and Asia who have registered comments telling me to keep up the good job. It makes me happy to know that my site is directly responsible for educating people against cyber attacks, and potential victims have saved tens of thousands of dollars do to the information I post.

When I think about the good things that I have done for total strangers, it makes me realize that I am on the right side of humanity. I've tried to do be the good guy in life, but I know there have been times when I did questionable things. I've had some relationships end on sour notes, partly due to my actions, but all and all I have no complaints. It's so easy to stroll down memory lane and remember events that happened years ago, but what good does that do? You cannot change the past, it is what it is. I've learned to be happy, accept what you've been given, and move on by making the most out of life. Here's to you 2008, thanks for making it a great year!!!

Season 2 - Day 37

Yesterday I was awoken by a family member calling me. There had been a car accident and they wanted me to help them take photos of the scene. I threw on my clothes and rushed down the street as fast as I frantically could. When I got to the site two police cruisers, and a handful of on lookers crowded around the early morning activities.

After surveying the seen, I was so thankful that my family member was for the most part ok. The impact of collision had occurred on the front drivers side door. The generated force had completely caved in the door, thus rendering it inoperable. The rear drivers side door was also dented and I had difficulty opening it as well. As bad as the crash was, it could have been even worse. However, nothing could have prepared me for what my family member told me.

For over a month now I have been using The Law of Attraction to obtain a luxury car. I have made getting a new car a goal for this seasons one hundred day challenge. Well apparently I'm not the only one who has been thinking about getting a new car. My relative informed me that they have been wanting to get a new car for sometime as well. In fact they were actively giving that desire attention, focus, and energy for the past week. They were tired of driving the same car for over eight years and felt that a change was coming soon. It did alright, and it appears as if a new car is on the way.

I was able to look at cars online with them today, and we settled on three different cars to further research. The final selections consist of a Mercedes-Benz, Audi TT, and Volvo. These cars are a considerable upgrade to the previous car, and will provide my family the opportunity to step up in life. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, and I hope the driver of the other car is doing fine as well. I love knowing that The Universe is going to deliver the optimum vehicle to us, and that it will fulfill our needs in the future.

My family is truly blessed and a potentially bad situation was turned around. This good fortune is a direct result of The Law of Attraction working in our lives. Miracles do happen if we allow them to, and this experience has provided me with the resolve to carry on and achieve the other goals on my list. I am in the process of writing a December desire statement, and I am aiming high because whatever I decide ultimately comes to pass. So the question for today is, what do I really want?

Season 2 - Day 35

This past weekend was full of unexpected surprises and festivities. On Saturday a friend of mine called and needed a place to crash for him and his son. Apparently things with his old lady went south quickly, and he needed a safe house. Of course I welcomed my new guests with open arms and tried to make my place as comfortable as possible.

As the evening progressed I fired up my small coal burning BBQ and grilled some tasty chicken, veggies, and potatoes. I absolutely love grilling food and it felt really good to use my BBQ for the first time in almost a year. The inviting smell of cooking over an open fire filled the crisp Nov. air was amazing. All and all it was a good evening, and I'm glad to have been there for a friend in need.

Well December is finally here and this year is just about over. However before I go further I want to pause and give thanks for November. Last month was a great month for me and my business. Here is a list of things that I am grateful for attracting in November:

• I achieved a sales goal
• I went on a week long vacation to the East Coast
• I ate at my favorite restaurants (Ben's Chili Bowl, Double T Diner)
• Spent Thanksgiving with my family
• Enrolled in a new educational program
• Attracted 9 new clients
• Cleared up areas around my house
• Close to finishing a huge job for my company
• Gained confidence in The Law of Attraction
• Learned that Desire statements work!

Now that December is here, I am in the process of finishing this year on a strong note. I have many goals for this month and plan on achieving them. I see myself living the life that I want, and I'm excited that another year is right around the corner. It's been an amazing year for me, I've grown so much and done alot of new things. The Universe has blessed me with more than I could have expected and I humbly accept it all.

Season 2 - Day 30

Thanksgiving has come and gone from the ether in which it originated. One the surface it would appear that a day to stop and give thanks seems trifle, yet why can't everyday be like Thanksgiving? As a Law of Attraction practitioner I fully understand that everyday should be full of thanks and genuine gratitude. There have been times when this sentiment was lost on me, but this year it seemed vastly different.

I am thankful for so many things which has come to pass, that which is unfolding, and most importantly that which is already on its way. I love knowing that my business is in the process of expanding this very second. I am excited that my family is healthy and prosperous. My relationships with close friends are strengthening, and today brings continued joy! More importantly, I know that can occur for me each and every day.

My family and friends are very important to me. This evening I met up with a long time friend from college. He and I go way back, and I am genuinely grateful for his friendship. We have both been through alot over the ten plus years, and my respect has grown a great deal with this person. I truly feel as if we are family and I like knowing our mutual understandings have never been in question. In life we attract different people for a myriad of reasons. Some people are brought into our lives to teach us lessons, some are there to guide us along the right path, and others become so close they feel like family.

I firmly believe that an attitude of gratitude should be incorporated during each day of our lives. Instead of only offering thanks for what has been given, we should be grateful for what is still to come. The underlining notion behind setting a goal is that at one day, that goal will manifest itself. Yet in order for it to be realized we must first give it continual focus, energy, and attention by being grateful that it's already been received.

In addition one must be thankful for allowing goals to manifest. By removing any doubt, and instilling solid Faith in achieving the desired goal, The Universe will respond by giving us exactly what we want. I firmly believe that The Universe is willing to give much more than one is willing to allow. I have decided that if I set a goal, I need to allow it to manifest. The Universe is ready to burst and shower me with it's infinite abundance and I am willing to accept it.

From this point forward will forever be in the process of allowing greater and greater achievements. I do this because it's the right move for my family, friends, and most importantly me. This revelation is having a profound impact on my subconscious, and through auto-suggestion techniques I am excited at seeing what wonders lay ahead for me.

Season 2 - Day 29

Thanksgiving is almost here and I have so much to be thankful for. This year has been amazing for me both professionally and personally. I have seen by business grow and expand into new territories, while my personal life has been surprisingly stable. This year marks the second Thanksgiving with the same person in nine years.

I suppose my twenties were like a revolving door of different women. Some stayed for a season or two, some almost lasted a year, but until recently it was the same routine. I'm currently working on staying with the same person for two Valentines Days in a row. I'm not sure why, but I've been with a different woman since the beginning of this decade on Valentines Day. As I reminisce about the past ten years, I'm thankful that my personal life has leveled out.

Today was another great day. It rained off and on, but the intermittent downpours were a pleasant surprise. I spent the majority of my time running errands and preparing for tomorrow. I mailed out some packages for my clients and I love knowing that more sales are on the way.

My goal is to kick off the Christmas season with a bang. I am in the process of attracting multiple sales on Black Friday, and throughout the holiday's. Lots can happen in a short time, so I know that my sales desires will be met. More and more I feel that The Universe will bring to me that which I desire and allow, so I allow myself to receive my goals. I love seeing myself living in abundance and serving my customers as best I can.

On another note I completed my financial paperwork for the American University Military Institute. I will be completing coursework in subjects that I enjoy learning. Once finished, I know that my skill set will be in demand and I that I will have another avenue in which to pursue more dreams and aspirations. After a long break, it will be nice to get back into a professional classroom setting.

I will be in the process of writing a life goal desire statement. That is to say I want to have a definite goal for my life, and I believe Thanksgiving provides a great background for a starting point. I am so blessed and everyday I find more to appreciate. I've come along way but I take pride in knowing the best is yet to come!

Season 2 - Day 28

As I write this entry, the rain has moved in and is saturating everything. I love the rain because it has a unique cleansing ability. It doesn't rain nearly enough where I live, so I welcome it whenever possible.

With another day under by belt, another moment to pause and reflect now presents itself. I had a big revelation today and it still brings a smile to my face when thinking about it. I run a consumer reports themed blog that has been getting more and more popular with each passing month. People from all over the world post comments and I update it very frequently. Until yesterday I had always wondered what the traffic looked like, and how many people were on at any given time.

I came to the conclusion that a live traffic widget was just what I needed. So I installed it and 24 hours later, my blog has registered over 70 hits! People from England to Hawaii, and even Canada have registered hits. Furthermore I can check out which posts are the most popular and who found them helpful. Technology is amazing, and sometimes its the little things that bring about pleasure.

It felt so good to know that so many people are interested in what I have started. In the past two days I have received correspondence from three people who mentioned the information on my website prevented them from being victims of Internet scams. The total amount of money saved was $5600!! I have been running the blog since April, so who knows just how much money has been saved!

I am sincerely humbled knowing that I am making a positive difference in the lives of so many people. When I started the blog I wondered just how big it could get. I knew it had potential, but it's been a dream come true. In life we must do what we love and The Universe will bring everything into place.

For me I am in the process of allowing ten's upon ten's of new customers into my life. I have a specific goal that I am in the process of achieving before or by December 1st. The Universe has fulfilled a sales desire for me this month, and I have decided to allow another to manifest as well.

On another note Thanksgiving is almost here. I have so much to be thankful for this year and I am excited and humbled by the opportunity to share my successes. I am most thankful that my business is growing and expanding everyday, I achieve goals that I set, my life is meaningful, and my family is changing. All and all its been a great year, and its only getting better.

Bob Proctor on Manifesting Money

Season 2 - Day 27 Allowing

The Law of Attraction is working for me everyday by bringing me more of what I want. On the surface this statement appears self evident, yet it is only by allowing that enables manifestations occur. Allowing is a pivotal part of The Law of Attraction, and often the most overlooked component to achieving one's goals or desires.

When we create a desire statement we are asking The Universe to bring forth that which we are trying to obtain. Often times it is very essential to qualify the desire with an allotted time table in which to work in, thereby insuring an expected time frame in which to keep focus, energy, and attention. White many people complete this step, they forget about the importance allowing.Allowing is a process by which desires manifest to your life.

When we allow, we are declaring that we accept abundance, love, relationships, etc into our lives by removing any and all doubt that may prevent the said desire to occur. Simply put the more strongly you allow that which you want the quicker you will receive it. Take a moment to think about your goals. Are you fulfilling them? Do you feel frustrated by not achieving your hearts desire? The problem may be in the allowing phase.I have noticed from personal experiences that whenever I use the phrases:

"I am in the process of allowing....
"I love seeing myself allowing..... into my life"
"I get excited whenever I think about allowing...."
"I have decided to allow..."

As the new week progresses I have decided to allow tens of new ideal customers into my life. I get excited whenever I picture my products inspiring my customers. More and more I know that my business contributes to the overall prosperity of each and every customer I attract. I love knowing that my goals and desires are already being fulfilled.

I had a breakthrough today when I realized that I can choose to allow more and more sales, and that hundreds of billions of dollars gets transferred around the world everyday. I choose to allow myself to serve more people. The world's abundance is infinite so my share is whatever I desire it to be.

On a side note, I going to be working on a new project that is very close to my heart. The group of people that I am teamed with will commence this week, and hopefully we will be able to add new information to our ongoing documentary. I am overjoyed when I think about how successful this project can be. In addition I've become quite thankful for the talent and professionalism that I have aligned myself with. More to come on this, but in the meantime I am grateful for all that occurred in my life, I'm extremely blessed.

Season 2 - Day 26 Gratitude

As time marches on I have arrived at a milestone. At the end of today, a quarter of the new season is now complete. The Law of Attraction has brought exciting people, goals, and memories that I am grateful for. When I think about how blessed I am, a feeling of humbleness for all that has been given to me.

Twenty six days ago I decided to re-examine my life by re-focusing my attention, energy, and feelings on attracting more of what I want. This would include business relationships, personal relationships, continued health, financial abundance, specialized knowledge, and so much more. So without further delay here is a running list of my season two achievements:

• I achieved my immediate sales goal on and around my desired date, which was Nov. 13th
• I have attracted eight new clients in twenty six days
• I took a fabulous week long vacation
• I am in the process of continuing my education by taking courses in subjects that I love
• My companies re-development project in the process of closing out
• I've broken ground on filming a documentary that has the potential to be a huge hit!
• I had dinner at Ben's Chili Bowl one of my favorite places to eat.
• I enrolled in the world beer club at Ram's Head Tavern
• Took a much appreciated stroll along the docks in Annapolis, MD
• I am on track to make more money in a shorter amount of time than ever before.
• I've read more books and been to more bookstores than in recent memory (ok three years)
• I've decided to write desire statements, and they have worked better than I could have ever imagined.
• I've lost 10 pounds, and get noticed by women more and more.
• I see tangible proof of my desires coming true, and this leads to further confidence
• I drove a cross over type car for over a week, and enjoyed it
• Visited the Shenandoah Valley for the first time
• I discovered Winchester, VA and fell in love with it.
• I flew to Indianapolis Airport's new terminal on the first day of its operation.
• I bought a cool souvenir for a friend at the Hard Rock Cafe in Baltimore

My gratitude and appreciation has grown exponentially and continues to develop. I love seeing new manifestations in my life, and have decided to continue to allow more amazing feats into mylife. I am humbled by what I've learned and will share it with anyone who is willing to listen. I know my life is meaningful and I plan to expand my influence around the world.

Auto Suggestion

Auto suggestion is self suggestion. It is the agency of communication between the part of the mind where conscious thought takes place, and that which serves as the seat of action for the subconscious mind.

If you are looking for a great way to attract abundance into your life through auto-suggestion, then the principles henceforth will demonstrate how it should be done. In order to be successful, you must choose to follow all of the instructions. If you choose to follow only some of the instructions but neglect, or refuse to follow others, you will fail.

1. Go into some quiet spot where you will not be disturbed or interrupted. Close your eyes, and repeat aloud (so you may hear your own words) the written statement of the amount of money you intent to accumulate, the time limit for its accumulation, and a description of the service or merchandise you intent to give in return for the money. As you carry out these instructions, see yourself already in possession of the money.

For example suppose that you intent to accumulate $50,000 by the first of January, five years from now, and that you intent to give personal services in return for the money, in the capacity of a salesman. Your written statement of your purpose should be similar to the following:

"By the first day of January, 20.., I will have in my possession $50,000, which will come to me in various amounts from time to time during the interim. In return for this money I will give the most efficient service of which I am capable, rendering the fullest possible quantity, and the best possible quality of service in the capacity of salesman of .....(describe the service or merchandise you intend to sell)."

"I believe that I will have this money in my possession. My faith is so strong that I can now see this money before my eyes. I can touch it with my hands. It is now awaiting transfer to me at the time, and in the proportion that I deliver the service I intent to render in return for it. I am awaiting a plan by which to accumulate this money, and I will follow that plan, when it is received."

Step 2: Repeat this program night and and morning until you can see, ( in your imagination) the money you intend to accumulate.

Step 3: Place a written copy of your statement where you can see it night and morning, and read it just before retiring, and upon arising until it has been memorized.

Remember, as you carry out these instructions, you are applying the principle of auto-suggestion, for the purpose of giving orders to your subconscious mind.

Lilou Mace - Creative Visualization

Season 2 - Day 24

Today started with a bang and continued will into this evening. I attracted another client today, which brings the total amount for this week to three. I am so excited and grateful for attracting these amazing people. Earlier this week I stated the desire to attract multiple clients/customers and that desire came true! With each passing week I've noticed that my confidence in the Law of Attraction grows and that my desires do manifest.

I love knowing that I am in the process of achieving my November Sales goals. Furthermore I enjoy seeing myself driving my new luxury car. I went to the Post office today and parked next to a clean black Jaguar XJ6. This car was sleek and had amazing lines. Suddenly I thought to myself this is exactly the car that I've been thinking about purchasing and here it is. More and more I can feel myself allowing this vehicle into my life.

Right now I am reading "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, China's greatest military general. His wisdom and advice rings just as true today as it did 2,500 years ago when he wrote it. The ability to succeed is inside us all, our mind determine to what extent this manifests in our lives. So far the book has given me a different perspective of business, and I will start to implement the various techniques to see if it works for me. I am excited at the possibility of learning more and more about my business with each passing day.

I feel that I've arrived at a new junction in my life. The winds of change are blowing and by sail is catching it all. I am in the process of reconditioning my psycho cybernetic mechanism to accept the desired feelings, changes, and abundances that the Universe is prepared to give me. I am open and willing to receive it all. I have grown exponentially this year and will continue to do so. I am thankful for my life and the special people that are in it.

Season 2 - Day 23

Today has been a busy day, but I must give thanks and gratitude to the Universe for fulfilling my immediate short term goal. Before leaving for my trip I wrote a desire statement indicating a sales goal and expected compensation. To my pleasant surprise I actually achieved this milestone and attracted a new client while on vacation!

The feeling of accomplishment has given me more confidence in my abilities to attract that which I most desire. Tangible manifestations has allowed me to be more open to receive the abundance of the Universe. While many companies are downsizing and closing shop, I am in the process of running a successful business. I am truly blessed and I love knowing that my business will continue to grow. More and more the feeling of abundance is present in my life.

As the week winds down I have decided to attract multiple clients by instilling continued success, motivation, and confidence in all of my perspective ideal clients/customers. The path to financial prosperity has cleared for me, and I am in the process of allowing it into my life. Today is a great day and I am committed to making the most out of it!

Season 2 - Day 22

It has been said that one must enjoy life because it is very short. After my whirl wind tour of the East Coast for the past seven days, I could not agree more. I had a great time in Washington DC and met alot of interesting people. Last Thursday evening I decided to do a monument tour on the mall which consisted of the Washington Monument, World War II Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial, and the Vietnam Wall. The weather was very brisk and foggy, my preferred weather conditions.

After the monument tour I went back to my hotel in Annapolis, MD and went to Ramshead Tavern, one of my favorite pubs. The crowd was thin in the downstairs bar, which was nice because it felt as if I had the entire place to myself. Before last call the guy behind the counter told me about the alleged haunting that takes place their. Apparently at one time there was a brothel upstairs. There was a girl named Amy who was killed and her ghost still roams around the tavern. The bartender mentioned that in the three years he's been there, he has not encountered anything abnormal, but he did say that other co-workers have experienced something.

As the week progressed I eventually made my way to Winchester, Virginia. Historic Winchester is rich with history, folklore, and friendly people. I was shocked when people actually said hello to me on the streets. Clearly that is a far cry from the cold streets of Los Angeles, where pedestrians are scorned with disdain for even making eye contact while walking. I met the owners of a local eatery called The Snow White Grill. The house specialty seems to be small hamburgers, shakes, and stories since its opening in 1949. The owner indicated to me that there is a small passageway under the building where both Confiderate and Union troops were moved during the Civil War.

Interestingly Winchester changed hands over seventy three times throughout the duration of the Civil War. With so much history, you would suspect hunting's right? Sure enough I found myself in Cork Street tavern, a local watering hole that has seen much in its rich one hundred year plus history. While sitting in the new section of the bar and watching the locals attempt karaoke, I felt the sensation of being watched by someone or something. I decided to turn around and take a photo. To my surprise there appears to be a large spirit orb in the upper right hand side of the photo. This orb that I captured was less than eight feet away from me!

As I departed Winchester on Sunday a feeling of yearning and wanting to suddenly live there came over me. I have decided that I will return by early next year with the intention of purchasing a house. I really enjoyed the "southern hospitality" and felt welcomed, as if I was local who had been there forever. The melancholy mood lasted briefly as I made my way to Baltimore and the excitement of the Inner Harbor.

My time spent in Baltimore was fun and I certainly will look back at it with fondness. I cruised by the Hard Rock Cafe and picked up a souvenir for a freind. After which I made my way to Howl at the Moon, a duel piano bar, but sadly it was closed on Sunday. Not wanting to be outdone, I made the short drive to Federal Hill. The small region of Baltimore that is Federal Hill was first revealed to me by a close friend who took me there almost three years ago. I retraced my steps on Sunday and got some beer at another one of my favorite bars, The Thirsty Dog Cafe. The Thirsty Dog is the only place I've been to where they encourage you to bring your dog. They believe in serving all two and four legged animals equally, and take pride in being a place that makes it possible. The famous two beers for four dollars is a huge appeal, and I enjoyed relaxing in the upstairs section.

Before returning to So. California I went to the National Arboretum and donated some sketches that John Naka, the modern day master of Bonsai had drawn of my grandmothers bonsai plants. The John Naka Bonsai Pavilion is world renowned and over 350,00 people visit the National Arboretum just to see his plants, as well as countless others on display. Knowing that my grandmother donated a bench to the National Arboretum, I contacted the main curator and made arrangements to meet with them. The curator called the Director of the Arboretum and they gladly accepted the sketches. I was so thrilled when I left, because I know that thousands of people will get to enjoy the sketches that had been laying in a box in my garage for the past four years.

In conclusion I had the time of my life. The weather was cold, the leaves were colorful, the people were friendly, and my pictures turned out well. I love my nation's capital and the non-stop action it provides. While I may not have gotten to see everything, I did get the vacation I had wanted all along. The change of scenery recharged my battery and I take pride in knowing that I am in the process of moving back and seeing all the sights very soon.

Season 2 - Day 13

Everyday I become more amazed by the Law of Attraction. This morning I discovered that I had obtained another client. I mentioned yesterday that I knew I would attract another one, and sure enough it happened! I am so thankful and grateful for the opportunity to inspire and motive more people with my business!!

My trip to DC is now less than two days away. I am excited at the thought of visiting my old friends, favorite restaurants, pubs, clubs, and everything else. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity, and if all goes well I might be moving out there again. Until then there are some loose ends to tie up, and final preparations to be made.

As this week unfolds, I take pride in knowing that I will attract more clients. With each day, billions of dollars are transferred around the world. Right now someone just received a check, and I am in the process of attracting enough money to fulfill my sales desires. This is a great week, but alots can happen and I feel it getting better and better.

Season 2 - Day 12

Today was an interesting day. I found out I won a hundred dollar bill in a raffle last night. It was put to good use today as I went shoe shopping for the first time in two years. I broke down and purchased walking shoes for my trip to DC on Wednesday. The interesting thing is that I knew that I was going to win money last night. I created a thought bubble and filled it with the idea of winning some cash.

I am grateful for the money and for the opportunity to splurge on myself. It felt good to know that I had could afford nice luxuries every now and then. I cannot wait to use the items next week! As for this coming week, I am excited to know that I will attract multiple customers. The thought of achieving my sales goals motivates and inspires me.

I know that I can maintain a successful business and I love the idea of running a thriving business. This year has taught me alot about the Universe, and what my mind can attract. I believe that my life is a direct manifestation of my thoughts, so I am now in the process of choosing which thoughts to give attention and energy to. Deep down I know that this week will be a great one for me and I look forward to seeing it unfold.

Self Confidence Formula

For many people the greatest weakness is lack of self-confidence. This can be overcome and translated into courage through the aid of auto-suggestion and the self confidence formula. The application of this is made through the positive thought impulses stated in writing, memorized, and repeated until it becomes solidified into the subconscious of your mind.

Self Confidence Formula

1. I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Purpose in life, therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.
2. I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality, therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture of that person.
3. I know through the principle of auto-suggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object back of it, therefore, I will devote ten minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of self-confidence.
4. I have clearly written down a description of my definite chief aim in life, and I will never stop trying, until I shall have developed sufficient self confidence for its attainment.
5. I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice, therefore, I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve be, because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing the love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude towards others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and myself.

I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory, and repeat it aloud once a day, with full faith that it will gradually influence my thoughts and actions so I will become a self reliant, and successful person.

James Arthur Ray

Season 2 Day 11

The week of change has come to an end. Our world is shifting into new uncharted waters, and I am at the head of the ship. While some people preach doom and gloom, I believe it is a great time to be alive. Never in human history has there been more printed money to acquire. Never in human history has there been so many means of communicating with the entire world. We are living in remarkable times!

I received a phone call this morning from the National Arboretum in Washington DC. The day before I had called and left a message with the curator of Bonsai society because, I have some sketches that would be of interest. The curator told me that they were indeed interested in the material I have and would like to arrange a meeting next week. The short conversation set my day in the right direction.

Currently I am in the process of attracting and manifesting at least two luxury cars. I believe the economic conditions make for a buyers market and I am in the process of obtaining all the money that I will need. In less than two months it will be a new year, which means a pre-owned car will be another year older, thereby reducing its resale value even more.

This year I read a book that stated most millionaires never buy a brand new car. Instead they opt to purchase a car that is between two and four years old. From a money management perspective this is wise because a car will lose 60% - 70% of its value within the first 6 years. Also one gets a much better deal when purchasing a car out right in cash, rather than financing it for a period of years.

I get excited when I think about driving my luxury car, and what it will feel like when I surprise my family member by purchasing one for them as well. More and more I can picture what this moment will look like. The Universe has blessed me and I am ready to excel from this point forward.

Season 2 - Day 8

The past two days have been extremely busy for me. I have been working on my house and clearing out the old things I seldom use. Cleaning out my garage and backyard has been therapeutic for me. The newly organized space has provided accomplishment and a sense of direction.

On another front, our country elected a new president yesterday. Even though he may have not been my first choice, I still respect the office of Presidency enough to give the new commander and chief a chance. Prosperity, abundance, wealth, and comfort should be allowed to manifest in the USA. I take pride in knowing that my business is doing well considering the economic downturn. Visualizing the success and desires for myself and my company does work, and I am grateful that the Universe has responded. I know deep down that the best is yet to come.

As the week winds down I love knowing that I will make another sale. I am in the process of expanding my company and my products are enjoyed by my customers. More and more I get excited when thinking about how I instill confidence in my customers. I am truly blessed and I enjoy remaining in an attitude of gratitude.

Season 2 - Day 6

Fall has finally arrived in the southwest. The air is cold and crisp again and I am ready for a new season. Next week I am leaving for DC and the excitement of the East Coast. It's been a long time coming, but I am so very thankful for the opportunity to travel again.

Today turned out to be a great day. I attracted another customer this afternoon and I firmly believe that many more will follow. November is turning out to be a great month and I am ready to do what it takes to meet my goals. This evening I found out that a big job that my company is involved in will soon close out. This is great news and I love seeing myself completing this three month long renovation project.

For now I am envisioning myself owning a luxury car. I get excited when I think of how it would feel to own it now. Above all else, I am grateful to God for all that He has given me. Before going to sleep I will take a few moments and visualize attracting more clients and abundance. The future holds many things for me and I am ready to achieve my dreams.

Creating a Desire Statement

At the turn of last century steel baron Andrew Carnegie set out to describe the secrets of powerful and influential men. Andrew Carnegie grew up poor and was a steel laborer well before he became the wealthiest man alive. He believed it was possible for one to create wealth with little to no education, no influential friends, and no money because, that's exactly how he started in life.

Throughout his life Mr. Carnegie taught his employees and acquaintances the meaning of desire. He would lecture them on the deference between wishing vs. desiring. Wishing does not bring riches, but desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning a way and means to acquire riches, and solidifying those plans with a persistence that does not know the meaning of failure brings about those riches.

The method by which desire for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of six practical steps:

1. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient to just say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount you want.
2. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such thing as "something for nothing.")
3. Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.
4. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
5. Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
6. Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read the statement, feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.

It is important to remember that all thoughts which are mixed with any feelings of emotions, constitute a "magnetic" force which attracts, from the vibrations of the Universe, other similar or related thoughts.

Season Two - Day 5

The time change caught me off guard, and I ended up sleeping in today. The weather has finally changed here in So. Cal and the five months of ninety degree heat appears to be fading away. It rained last night and today for the first time in a long time. I stepped outside during the later hours of last night and spent a moment in the rain. The drops of water falling on me felt so good as I stretched out to catch even more.

While doing this I envisioned each drop represented a new ideal customer, and that the Universe was literally showering me with an abundance of new people to inspire and motivate. The brief moments outside brought a huge smile to my face and I felt as if I could accomplish anything. I believe I have the ability to transmute thoughts and feelings into abundance and wealth.

As today unfolded a major milestone was achieved. My friend and I had the opportunity to film a documentary that we in the process of creating. Our goal is to have a web based show or an actual tv show. I have wanted to do something like this for three and a half years, and until recently I did not know if it would be possible. Yet today as I sat in the interview chair, I knew that we starting something interesting and groundbreaking. We have one more team member film, and then the editing can begin.

I am grateful for the opportunity to take my dreams and aspirations to another level. I plan to have a successful show by next year and will not stop until this is achieved. As I write this an overwhelming sense of calm, joy, and accomplishment is filling me. I accept these feelings and will focus on the for the remainder of the night.

Season Two - Day 4

The past two days have been most interesting. I want to first give thanks for the new client that I attracted on Halloween! October turned out to be a great month and I attracted more clients in the last two weeks than in August and September combined. Above all else I have learned that when I focus my attention and desire on what I want to achieve, the Universe does respond by giving it to me.

I feel great knowing that my business is expanding and more people are becoming familiar with our products and services. In addition truly believe that I achieve my immediate short term sales goal before my trip to Washington DC. I know this can happen as I am in the process of accepting my goals for the month of November. People need my services and I take great pride in knowing they entrust me with their honesty and resources. It brings me joy when thinking about the feeling I get when first learning about a new customer.

I am in the process of making November an even better month than last. My company has a contracted job which will bring forth the opportunity to purchase a new car. In the meantime I am looking forward to expanding my non-profit organization and will start campaign to attract new donors. Overal my life is going well and I am blessed to have the ability to showcase my talents across so many spectrums of life.

SEASON 2 - DAY 2

Today was a great day for me. I attracted another new client and have made more sales this October than the previous two months combined. Luckily for me I am in the process of attracting more everyday. More and more I feel grateful and excited when I think about manifesting my hearts desire.

During this past week, I have been listening the "The Law of Attraction" by Michael Losier on audio book. The book has opened my eyes and made me aware of the need to feel and believe my affirmations. In order for a person to manifest the desired change, one must form a clear idea of what that change is and how it feels (as if you were living it now in this very second). Next, the affirmations chosen must be statements that one agrees with or that truly excites when read over and over again. The Law of Attraction is drawn more to feelings than to words or statments. When a person believes or feels in the written affirmations, the LOA responds quicker than when no feelings are present.

As well as attracting new clients, I have also been able to manifest my first true vacation in almost two years. I will be traveling to the east coast in two weeks to visit old friends, make new memories, and have a great time by enjoying the fruits of my labor. Before I leave however, I will be filming my first documentary for a YouTube web series. I've decided the time has come to start living my dreams of appearing in a show and having a hand in its production.

My immediate goal is to attract seven new clients/customers to my business before I leave to the East Coast. I will do this by stepping up my marketing and visibility, so that my seven ideal customers may be attracted to my products. I love knowing that the Universe is making this goal become a reality for me. In addition I am in the process of accepting these new clients and what my services can do for them. I enjoy how it feels when I think about this goal already being achieved .

Season Two - Day 1

Today is the first day in my new 100 day challenge. The purpose of this challenge is to document/track my daily life while incorporating the Law of Attraction. I have had huge successes in the past four months, and I believe the next 100 days will manifest even more desired things into my life.

I am currently reading two great LOA books which explain in step by step detail, time tested techniques for attracting more of what you want and less of what you don't. The first book is "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. Mr. Hill was a close friend of steel baron Andrew Carnegie, and was selected by Carnegie to write a book detailing how one could acquire massive success with little to no education, hard work, and no powerful friends. The writing style of Napoleon Hill is straight forward and easy to comprehend, even though this book was first published in 1937.

The second book that I am currently reading is an audio book of the international best seller "The Law of Attraction: The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and Less of What You Don't" by Michael J. Losier. Mr. Losier is a Canadian author who has been teaching the LOA since 1995. I first became acquainted with Michael's work while looking for videos on YouTube last summer. I really enjoy listening to his message and have been diligently transposing his tips and advice. I will be posting more information about these authors and their aforementioned techniques as I continue to read their work.

There are so many things that I would like to manifest for my life in the next 100 days. I am going to list briefly that which I most desire:

• I am in the process of attracting a new luxury car
• I am in the process of attracting more satisfied clients/customers
• I'm excited at the thought of being able to afford more vacations
• I am in the process of attracting my first home
• I love seeing myself attracting more money than ever before
• I am in the process of building stronger relationships with my family
• It excites me when I think about living in abundance

These are just a few of the goals that I am in the process of achieving. More and more I am excited at the possibility of what may lay ahead.

Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill

First published in 1937, this is the end product of two decades of research conducted by Napoleon Hill. His research started when Andrew Carnegie (the steel tycoon who was then the richest man on earth) gave him the assignment of organizing a Philosophy of Personal Achievement. Hill, who was a poor journalist, armed with just an introductory letter from Carnegie, set out to interview over five hundred successful people including Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, John D. Rockefeller, George Eastman, William Wrigley Jr. and Charles M. Schwab. Hill then revealed the priceless wisdom of his research in the form of the thirteen steps to success (in Think and Grow Rich) and the seventeen principles of success (in courses and lectures he conducted).

The concepts taught by Napoleon Hill transformed my life. Some of these include developing a definite purpose, building a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA), channeling the power of the sub-conscious mind and dealing with adversity. Everything he wrote about or talked about is thought provoking. He was wise, humble and funny. His philosophy is universal; he did not mix it with religion. The riches he referred to were more than money, for the Philosophy of Personal Achievement can be applied to anything in life. Hill was well ahead of his time. This book has a chapter dedicated to some of today's most important issues - Specialized Knowledge, Decision Making, Imagination and Organized Planning (in which he deals with Leadership). He also has principles for Teamwork, Creative Vision, Health, etc. This is a classic, and hence the examples are old (not to be confused with outdated). But they are as relevant today as they were in the early twentieth century.

Here is an example from T&GR in the chapter on Desire: On the morning after the Great Fire of Chicago (1871), a group of merchants on Chicago's State Street went into a conference to decide whether to rebuild their stores or leave Chicago. All but one decided to leave. The merchant who decided to stay pointed a finger to the remains of his store and said "Gentlemen, on that very spot I will build the world's greatest store, no matter how many times it may burn down." His name was Marshall Field and his store still exists, and in Hill's words is "a towering monument to that state of mind known as a burning desire."

There are thousands of self-help books out in the market and hundreds of self proclaimed "gurus" who have made a living by copying the wisdom in Hill's books. As I went through some of those books I realized that there was not much in them that Hill had not already written about. I recommend quality over quantity. Instead of reading through many books, I recommend that you study the following works of Hill and internalize his wisdom:

1. The Think and Grow Rich Action Pack (1937) - I recommend the Action Pack edition,

2. Napoleon Hill's Keys to Success: The 17 Principles of Personal Achievement - this is an excellent guide to his principles

3. Your Right To Be Rich [Unabridged] - this consists of 12 hours of live lectures covering the 17 principles, that Hill conducted in Chicago in 1954.

By internalizing, I mean studying in depth - analyzing the ideas, making notes and summaries. I own more CDs by Hill, but I believe that these 3 items make the perfect study plan on the Philosophy of Personal Achievement. I am greatly indebted to Napoleon Hill. The purpose of my writing this is to spread awareness of his work so that more people can benefit from it. This, I believe is the best way in which Hill would have liked to have been repaid. If my review was helpful to you, I request you to select "Yes" so that the rating is improved and more readers will get to read it.

The End of a Cycle

Today is the day that I bid farewell to my first Law of Attraction experiment. In the 130 plus days I have achieved so many amazing feats. Since June of 2008 I have manifested the following events into my life:

• 35 new clients (I had a total of 13 from January to May)
• I have taught a workshop to 19 students
• I have 44 confirmed members on my monthly meetup site.
• I found gold
• I am grateful for my life!
• Exceeded my income earnings potential, and more is on the way!
• I am filming a documentary
• I started a non profit organization
• Purchased a week long vacation (First one since 2006)
• Bought a car in cash for a family member

Truly alot has occured in my life since this past summer. I feel that I have grown as a person, and view the world differently. When I first started this blog, it was a rouse to see if this Law of Attraction business was real or not. I had heard to much about it, yet I couldn't seem to understand it. Little did I realize that everyday I was unconsciously using the LOA, and at the time my business and financial situation was a direct reflection of what I was attracting.

In the Spring of 2007 I watched the movie The Secret and became interested in the LOA. I watched it countless times but I didn't feel it working in my life. I wasn't sure if positive vibrations and affirmations led to a extraordinary life, or if the LOA was New Age snake oil for the 21st century. Eventually I decided to give it one more try and I started this blog as a way of tracking any/all progress. When I first started I wanted to believe that attracting abundance, creating wealth, and living a limitless life was possible, but a part of me was still skeptical.

So as I sit and type this entry, I am reminded of my decision to give something new a try. I am a new person who realizes that the skeptical part of me was holding me back. The self doubt and negativity that I clung to was a self defeating mechanism whereby failure to live my dreams reigned supreme. In the past four months I have made a conscious and unconscious decision to live life a different way. This experiment has proven to be a huge success for me. I have seen the results and have concluded that the proof is truly in the pudding.

Nature has a way of balancing things out. When something gets old or dies out, something new growns in its place and begins anew. The end of this experiment brings about personal development as well as a new journey to embark on. I will continue a new LOA experiment, which I will dub season two. In this upcoming 100 day season I will boldly declare new goals to achieve and the new methods I will use to track my progress.

How To Manifest & Make Money

Did you know that the keyword Make Money gets over 132,000 hits a month in the online search engines? Goes to show you that many of us would like to know how we can manifest more money in our lives.

In order to manifest more money using the law of attraction, you will want to follow the 3-step process for deliberate creation - see our What Is Law of Attraction page for a refresher.
So let’s walk through how you will make money doing this.

Asking For More MoneyLet’s assume that you accept the concept of asking. That means that you understand that your thoughts, words and actions combine to create what you will see in your reality, and that your current situation regarding money is in direct relationship to your past thoughts, words and actions.

So where are you vibrating on the emotional guidance scale about money? Go and take a look now before proceeding here. How do you feel about money as it stands right now in your life?
The first step to make money is to first take a hard and fast look at how you truly feel about it. This is tricky. You may say affirmations each day that you are “attracting more money” or that you are a “rich person”, but if you open up your bills every day and feel a twinge of fear or doubt about paying them, or if you are looking at your home equity line balance rising and it is scary to you, then you are completely blocking the flow of energy that will attract it to you.

To effectively “Ask” for more money using the law of attraction, you must first begin to see yourself as wealthy, paying your bills effortlessly, enjoying your financially abundant life in your dream home, dream car, etc.

I know, I know, it seems like just a lie, right?

Well, to your logical, conscious brain it is, but not to your subconscious. See, your subconscious doesn’t know the difference between reality versus the images you feed it.

So if you continue to feed your mind with images of wealth and abundance, eventually, your mind will accept those images as reality and submit, and cooperate with the conscious to make money begin to manifest in your life.

So start with finding your place on the emotional guidance scale regarding money. Then one step at a time, make an effort to move just one spot higher on the scale so that you begin to vibrate at a higher level about it.

You can’t get from fear to joy overnight. However, you can take baby steps to shift your feelings about money and feel a sense of relief by moving just one step higher each time. A few ways you can do this is with gratitude exercises and visualization tools.

Believing You Can Have More MoneyDo you REALLY believe that you can be wealthy? Do you believe that you deserve to have the finer things in life? Can you imagine yourself eating at fancy restaurants, being chauffered around in a limo, giving loads of money to charity?
Are you saying to yourself, I have no idea how I could make money in such large quantities, given my current skills, experience and knowledge?

The key to this step in using the law of attraction to make more money is that you must believe that it is possible. Even if you are doing your affirmations and visualizing, you must deep down know that you are abundant right now. You deserve to have all you desire, even if you don’t yet know exactly how you will make it happen.

If you are actively working on asking, then the belief will follow. Decide right now that you can and will attract to you the right information, circumstances, and people who will lead you in the right direction regarding manifesting more money.

Once you do this, then suddenly you will be tuned into a new channel, and you will begin to see and hear and experience things that match your vibration about money. Your mind will begin to seek out a match between what you are feeding it and what is in your environment. The more you focus on creating more money, and feeling the excitement and relief of having it, the more you will begin to see the path that will lead you to it.

Receiving More MoneyOnce you can see it, and you believe it, then you can receive it right? Not so fast…

Receiving is probably the hardest step in using the law of attraction. Why? Well, because receiving involves trust. It involves letting go of the “how” and focusing on the end results. Many people hold old, adopted beliefs about money from their parents, co-workers, or social community. Beliefs such as “I must work hard to have more money” or “I have to pay my dues to get to the top”. They have certain ideas about how to make more money that are limiting, which are just vibrations that create resistance.

In order to receive, you must allow the Universe to do it’s job. Be grateful for the money you do have in your life right now and what you’ve been able to do with it. You have to let go, and take action at the same time. What does THAT mean? This is confusing isn’t it?

When you are asking and believing effectively, then you are opening yourself to see things and opportunities that you wouldn’t recognize before.

So pay attention.

Allow yourself to receive new ideas, be flexible, and be inspired. Go with what feels good, and take action towards what feels good.

Realize that new things represent change – and change can sometimes be uncomfortable, for you and for those around you who are choosing to stay in their low vibrations about money. So be prepared to feel uncomfortable at times, but don’t confuse that with your old fears about money.
You will not attract more money by just sitting around your house all day affirming and visualizing. You must take action.

However, realize that the actions you take will come from inspiration and intuition. You cannot be motivated to make more money through fear and anxiety. When you’ve got belief on your side, then you can pursue your goals with a calm, knowing purpose that you will achieve your goal of having more money.

If something you pursue doesn’t work out as you expected, know that if it is not that road, another one will reveal itself to you to get you where you want to go. These actions you take from inspired thoughts and ideas may be things you’ve never done before. Others may even criticize you or think that you’ve gone “crazy” because you are taking risks or doing things that in the past were not “you”.

Remember that who you were, and who you are right now are not the same. Our cells are constantly changing and transforming with our thoughts and consciousness every day. Every day is a new opportunity for you to be exactly who you wish to be.
