11 Forgotten Laws

Stop Begging! Start Manifesting
by LilD

Do you remember that first spark of hope you felt when you watched The Secret? I clearly remember the desire that filled my heart, knowing that – Yes, I can make my dreams come true – FINALLY!

But how many of you soon saw that hope dwindle into frustration? How many of you (and be honest now) started muttering things like:

- “It seems to work for other people, but I just can’t get it right.”

- “I’m frustrated that sometimes I can get it to work, but sometimes I can’t. What’s the trick?”

- “Why am I having so much trouble?”

- “I think the universe is against me.”

- “I’m trying very, VERY hard but still nothing is happening!”

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. About 97% of people also couldn’t make the Law of Attraction work for them the first time round. Think about it, just like anything else, you have to practice many times before you see success. A child doesn’t learn to walk without falling over a couple of times, right?

But in practice, everything is easier said and done. When you’re frustrated, it’s hard to stay positive. And it’s especially harder to stay positive when the evidence all around you is screaming negativity: like the unstable economy or senseless acts of violence such as those recently seen in Mumbai.

And do you know what happens when you fail to stay positive? That’s right – you start attracting negative things in to your life.

So how can you make the Law of Attraction work for you – without getting frustrated? How do those who successfully implement the Law of Attraction do it with such confidence and finesse?

Well, here’s three quick tips so you will never feel frustrated or tired of begging from the universe, because you know how to start manifesting like a pro.

1. Allow Yourself To Receive

Just like a lost child who approaches a police officer and asks, “Excuse me Sir, can you tell me how to go to the post office? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you?” Well, if the child goes on and on asking, the police officer can’t even give an answer, right?

Well, it’s the same thing with your mind. If the only thing your mind is doing is transmit, transmit, transmit, the universe — which is trying to respond — can’t give you a single thing because you’re not allowing yourself to receive!

So, have the confidence in yourself and stop exhausting yourself by running around person to person begging for riches, and then wondering why nobody is dropping a penny in your cup (Hint: It’s because you’re running away too fast for them before they can even reach for their wallets).

Just think of your desires and leave it out there, go away, and trust that your cup will be filled with gold coins (or whatever it is you asked for) when the time is right.

2. Be Patient With Yourself

Receiving takes time. Lisa Nichols refers to it as the gestation period, and I like that way of looking at it. It takes time for the manifestation to occur, so be patient.

Sadly, many people give up just a couple of steps before the finish line because they’ve decided that if it’s not working by now, it’s never going to work at all. Worse still are those who throw in more and more energy because they think that with more resources, the results will come faster.

This is like expecting 9 mothers to conceive and deliver a baby in 1 month! You also can’t bake cookies in half the time by doubling the temperature. You’ll incinerate those cookies to ashes!

In simple terms: Everything in this world has a natural development time, and this fact will not change no matter what resources you throw at it. So relax and be patient. Remember that you too, as part of the universe, are also governed by the laws of the universe, and you cannot change the natural development time.

If you remember this, you will less likely work yourself up into frustration, or worse, push yourself into a downward spiral of negativity.

3. Support and Educate Yourself

Like the child who is learning how to walk, you need support. You also need guidance on how to do it, and the role models you'd like to aspire to.

Many people give up because they think that “The Secret” is the “be all and end all” solution. Well, it’s NOT. “The Secret” is just a small portion. It was never intended, and has never been, the whole answer.

Coming to the conclusion that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work when all you ever did to educate yourself was watch “The Secret” 19 times (without looking at changing the habits of other areas of your life) is like coming to the conclusion that exercising is not an effective way to lose weight because all you did is run on the treadmill for 2 hours a day (but you’re still stuffing yourself with fried foods and cheesecakes).

So seek and be hungry for new knowledge. Also, make an effort to be amongst people or communities where you can support each other, learn from each other and also share new knowledge that you have found.

While the Law of Attraction is not an overnight delivery service, and not the whole system either, it will indeed deliver, if you do your part too!

Here's to you personal success

Mind Movies Mastery Summit

I might be going out on a limb to tell you this
but here goes...

Ever wonder how THEY have done it? How
everything THEY touch seems to turn to gold? How
THEY manage to rake in millions year after year, even
if they might be flying under the radar or are
someone without the big name?

Maybe THEY have done this long enough and now
it's YOUR turn. What do you think? The only way
to do that is to figure out...

The Secret Formula THEY Use To Make Millions

I'm talking about everybody from the obnoxious
Trumpster to rebel bazillionaire Richard Branson to
that Tom guy who makes canvas shoes and gives
them away in Third World countries.

And a whole bunch of other marketers who
continually enjoy a steady stream of revenue
into their bank accounts.

They ALL have one thing in common:

They deeply understand the essential ingredient of
mindset and mind POWER in building phenomenal
success.

And right this very minute, YOU can understand
it too, just by watching this short video

How To Leverage The Power Of Your Mind For Success?

I don't care if you're still trying to crack your first
six figures--or you've got your sites set on multiple
SEVEN figures--it's all the same when it comes to
how you think about your success.

Honestly, there was a time I would have been first
in line to laugh this off or call it some kind of junk
science...But I'm here to tell you...

I was wrong. The more I've studied this, and
more importantly, the more I've EXPERIENCED this
for myself--the more I understand this is absolutely real.

In fact, this whole concept is grounded in science--the
very same science that uses invisible energy to
let you communicate with the flick of a mouse, or
the tap of a key, or even turn on a freaking light
bulb for that matter.

The only limitation on this universal science and
energy thing is the limitation you put on yourself--and
on your thinking.

I'm probably bumbling this badly trying to explain
it--after all I'm a successful marketer not a scientist.

But these guys spell it all out for you in a way that
is very easy to understand, and impossible to ignore...

The Science Of Success Made Simple

I've come a long way financially and emotionally from
my early days online. And like I said, once upon a time
I would have laughed this off as some kind of smoke
and mirrors fad or something.

Take it from someone who has been there--do NOT
make the mistake of writing this off or ignoring how
important this is to your business.

It just might be the biggest financial mistake of your
life. Instead, take a few minutes, keep an open mind, and...

WATCH This Video

Because if you're serious about breaking through
whatever has been holding you back from the ultimate
financial reward you've been striving for--you need
to "get" this and you need to do it now.

Talk to you again soon,

Debbie

P.S. It's a sad fact of life that most of us have been
programmed for something less than our highest
potential.

And that pretty much sucks, wouldn't you agree? The
good news is there IS a way to turn that around and
RE-program your brain for optimum achievement.

So take a minute to check this out...
How To Re-Program Your Way To Big Money

An hour of Cosmic Comedy & Healing with the Shift Network

Dear friends,
Could you use a little humor to blow off steam and open your heart after a long week? I know I can!

That's why I wanted to let you know about An Hour of Cosmic Comedy and Healing Laughter. It's a free tele-event happening this Friday, August 19th, 6:00pm PDT / 9:00pm EDT with author and humorist Steve Bhaerman and his cosmic comic cohort Swami Beyondananda.

You can get all the details here

I believe laughter can be a gateway to both healing the heart and freeing the mind. And Swawi Beyondananda (aka Steve) has been entertaining audiences with witty, spot-on insights into the human condition for decades. It's "comedy disguised as wisdom, and wisdom disguised as comedy"!

Should be great fun! Hope you can join in this Friday or download the recording and listen at a more convenient time.

Again, the link to register for free is cosmic comedy

Change the World Movie

"I truly believe that most of the time...less is more. Sometimes, certain things viewed in certain ways have the ability to make an impact on our life in a positive way. I think Eleanor Roosevelt said it best, "It is not fair to ask of others, what you are unwilling to do yourself""
This is a link to a full length feature film about our world. Very thought provoking. Set aside some time to watch and take on board.
Change the World Movie:

Trust Your Gut Instinct

"Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points the way." -Florence Scovel Shinn
We all have an inherent warning system to help us determine if things are good or bad or if we should move forward or pull back. It is your sixth sense. It is the feeling you have inside that nudges you letting you know that something isn't quite right or it may make you feel a little bit uncomfortable, but it is there for a reason and unfortunately many times we choose to ignore it.
We may allow our desires to want something so badly that we overlook the signs and brush off our gut feelings that are telling us to beware. Whether you're about to buy a new home, make a huge investment or change jobs you will have a very tangible feeling that is clearly pulling you in one direction. It is divinely guiding you to do the right thing, so it's time to tap into it and pay attention.
I see this most often in relationships where people see the "Big Red Flags" and they choose to ignore them. And, many times these flags are slapping them in their face but they turn their head the other way. These Red Flags are warning signs or impending problems down the road. They are a little glimpse into bigger issues that are ahead of you.
When you are in a relationship and you just don't feel right about things, if what they say doesn't match how they act, if you are unhappy more than you are happy, if you are always looking for the "right" answers instead of listening to the wrong excuses, you are finely tuned into a God given gift known as your intuition.
When you begin to trust these strong, inner feelings and more importantly when you stop brushing them off just because you want what you want. And, when you understand that these feelings that are telling you to run in the other direction even though you don't want to; that is the time that you will start to make healthy choices about where you take your life from this point forward.
99% of the time the consequence of ignoring your instinct will only cause you misery down the road. You will have to dig yourself out of a deeper hole when you finally acknowledge that those "signs" that you blew off where really there to guide you.
When and if you finally do start to tap into your gift and when you have the courage to do the right thing, instead of not listening and doing what your ego wants; you will begin to experience what it's like to be "Divinely" guided down the right path.
Learn to tap into the power that is within you, your God-give ability to discern between what's good for you or not and you will be putting your faith in the process that everything always works out for the best. And that faith will help to eliminate the suffering that goes along with being attached to the outcome of what you thought was best for you, but divine intervention knew differently!

Do you Have Integrity?

"Integrity is what we do, what we say and what we say we do."
-Don Galer
Integrity. What does having integrity mean to you? To me, it is your internal moral compass that lets you know if you're walking through life on the right path or the wrong path.
Integrity is the foundation of your character. It is what your values and morals are based on and it's what keeps you honest.
For those who don't have integrity, it really doesn't matter what path they're on as long as they are getting what they want regardless of who they hurt in the process. When you personally encounter someone who doesn't have integrity it typically rocks your world. Their actions can leave you speechless and depending on how their behavior affects your life it can wreak havoc in it.
I find people who have integrity honorable. I know that might sound old fashion but in this day and age sometimes it seems that courtesy, truthfulness, humbleness, and having respect for others is becoming a thing of the past.
Here are just a few examples of experiences you may encounter when someone lacks real integrity: Deception, back stabbing, cheating, spreading false rumors, stealing, abusing someone; whether verbal, physical, emotional or mental, bullying and betrayal etc.
When confronted with situations in life we will make choices based on our principles. If you have integrity and do the wrong thing your conscience won't let you live it down. On the other hand, if someone doesn't have integrity, well, beside the fact that they don't have a conscience; they couldn't care less whether it's right or wrong as long as they're happy.
Integrity allows you to say I'm sorry without feeling like you lost. It allows you to forgive without punishing the other person. It allows you to give kindness, love and respect to others freely without expecting anything in return. Integrity makes you a better person and builds character each time you are tested in making choices.
There is trust and transparency when dealing with people who have integrity; they usually have nothing to hide. Dealing with people who don't have integrity always leaves you wondering if they are being honest with you.
And, the worst offenders who lack integrity are those people you think you can trust the most and you find out you can't trust them at all.
So, stay true to yourself and live by your moral code. We all know the difference between right and wrong. When making choices a good philosophy to live by is the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have them to unto you!

Susan's work has inspired people from all over the world to take back their power! Learn the secrets in her new book: "The 7 Keys to Unlock the Power Within You."

The Importance Of Letting Go

It is amazing that supposedly unimportant incidents in life turn out to be life-changing. In extreme cases, such events may even turn out to be world-changing. One such event springs to mind- an apple falling off a branch. As simple and ordinary an event it was, it brought about unimaginable changes in history. For instance, it helped us understand why everything thrown up comes down or why the moon revolves around the Earth, the Earth around the Sun, and the Sun around the Milky Way's Galactic center. Slowly, orthodox views began to disappear, with superstitions like the Earth being the center of the Universe disappearing. Science emerged as the new religion and the rest is history.
Another popular accidental discovery, although the word 'accidental' is debatable, is that 'Eureka' moment when the Great Greek scientist and inventor, Archimedes founded the laws of Up thrust. Given that there are unthinkable volumes of such 'minor' incidents, the world ought to expect more discoveries.
One such event, although not world-changing but certainly life-influencing if not life-changing, happened to me when I and a couple of my friends went swimming few weeks back. I am a slow learner. After two days into swimming, all of my friends, first timers like me, had already started swimming half the pool, on the shorter and shallower side, while I was still just cycling through the water with my hands tightly gripping the steps that led into the pool. My friends would swim for hours as I, getting bored and frustrated, lay basking in the thinning-ozone-filtered Sun; darkening the skin below and above my swimsuit. That day, though, turned out to be my 'Eureka' moment. I was, bored and frustrated as usual, getting ready to jump out of the pool and torture my skin again. It was almost raining and being a 'concerned' friend, I urged my friends to come out with me. Only they would not.
Realizing my hesitance and fear, they kept insisting me to push my body forward into the pool- closing my eyes, hands in "Namaste" posture but held parallel to the water. Only I could not just let my body drown and let one fortune teller get one of his predictions about me right- that I would die by drowning. I am not a believer of horoscopes or of fortune-telling but I could not forget that these practices are not exactly disproved by science, not yet. Only my stubborn friends would not give up. "All right, that's it. If I am to drown in three feet of water, I should." I thought and asked each of my three pals to stand, as ready as the ground to be struck by anything falling, one on each side of my body and one in front of me. Then I clasped my hand, thrust it forward, pushed my legs against the lower walls and I flew into the water, maintaining the cycling posture but without the pedaling. So I desperately grasped a hand of my friend on the right hand side, wiped my face with my left hand, my mouth taking deep breaths, my ears witness to short bursts of laughter. It was as though I was setting up a surround sound system to provide my ears the home theater experience.
That was it, I thought. Only they would not. I went on for a few more trials. The fourth turned out to be a partial success as I was able to stay afloat for few seconds and my legs desperately pedaling but my eyes still shut and my head inside the water. This was the 'Eureka' moment. No, I did not discover anything purely scientific or I would have my ghost writer write this experience in a better, grammatically accurate way. No. I learned a far more important lesson although not commercially profitable. I will not say that I am the first to discover it or that I am pretending even though my actual 'Eureka' moment came just a few minutes earlier when I was thinking of a topic to write on. So, here it goes. Drum rolls please.
I have discovered the importance of letting go. Think about it. What is the one obstacle in the path to success or in my case, what was the one hindrance in my quest to prove the fortune-teller wrong? Fear. Yes, success cannot be achieved without giving up the fear of failure or the fear of being slapped by your 'crush' when you ask him/her out or the fear of one frightening prediction being right. My friends, it is time to let go of off your fears and emotions, and act on them. Go hold the rubber snake and slap it across the faces of your friends who use it to frighten you knowing you are frightened of snakes. Go spill your emotions to your crush. Go atop a high building if you are afraid of heights. Let go of you fear of failing. Start by targeting a small goal that you can easily accomplish and slowly increase the difficulty and importance of your goals. If you are trying to get in shape by going to a gym, start off by lifting smaller weights. But do let go. There is success beyond fear, as pointed out quite cleverly by the adverts of Mountain Dew. Letting go of your fears and emotions will propel you to success and happiness. Don't let your fears and lack of faith eat out every bit of strength in you. Sure, you may need a catalyst. Ask your friends to help you or if they are friends indeed, they will help out a friend in dire need, no questions asked.

How To Get Peace In Life Using Five Simple Steps

Everybody wants to know how to get peace in life, but some people are not doing all they can to achieve it.
If you're serious about this goal, then you must learn to discipline yourself. You can't attain harmony if you keep on doing the things that will only get you in trouble, right?
If you want to know how to get peace in life, then start by reading this article.
Step 1: Snap Out Of Bad Habits.
Bad habits can wreak havoc on your life. They can take time to form and they can take time to break; but if you put your mind to it, you can stop yourself from doing them over and over again.
Step 2: Relax.
You might be a little too uptight. If you want to know how to get peace in life, you've got to loosen up a little. Finding peace can be fun if you let it be.
Don't get angry when something goes wrong. Don't blow up when things don't fall into place. Be understanding and mindful that you want to maintain your inner peace.
Step 3: Meditate.
Find time to be by yourself and meditate. Connect with yourself and step out of the real world for the time being.
When meditating, you are able to reflect on your life and the definition of peace. Through meditation, answers on how to go about your life will come to you almost without effort.
Step 4: Find Role Models.
There are a lot of people who have made peace their ultimate goal. Read up on these people. Learn about their struggles, how they overcame challenges, and how they found inner peace and harmony.
Step 5: Seek Forgiveness.
Sometimes, the only way left on how to get peace in life lies in forgiving others, asking for forgiveness and forgiving yourself.
The hardest person to forgive can be yourself, so try to make peace with yourself by listing down all the mistakes you have made and atoning for them.
This is not an easy task because people do have the tendency to stay in struggle; but with peace as your ultimate goal, you will find salvation.
Knowing how to get peace is a very important chapter in your life. The journey there can be tough; but a single step will bring you closer to peace than not doing anything at all. The results are definitely worth the wait!

Discover The Power Of Following Your Dreams

The world of knowledge is a vast one - from the ant's busy schedule to the development of microchips and rocket science. But there is much more to this amazing world than erecting mega structures and inventing super gadgets; there is more than can be gotten from books; the knowledge of oneself. It is therefore unfortunate that most people nowadays are too busy to find time for themselves. They have forgotten that behind every development, behind every achievement and behind every revolution is a person. And that person was or is not different from them.
Trouble arrives in measures, and we stack it up real high, until we're convinced we have no reason to try. If you feel defeated, you are absolutely wrong for if you follow your dream, you could never lose for long. It has always been that way. Ask your mentor, ask that great person you try to emulate - it wasn't any easier for them. As a matter of fact you may realize that it is much easier for you than it was for them, but they made it. So can you. It's all a matter of passion and determination. You cannot lose by following your dream, because you will never run dry. This is because you are not depending on external sources for strength. If you are doing what you were meant to do, you will always have strength no matter what. It will always be with you even at your worst or most discouraging time. That is the advantage of following your heart.
Someone said that brick walls are there for a reason. They are not to keep you off; they are just providing you with an opportunity to prove how badly you want something. There was a certain young man who really needed a job at a particular departmental store. At that time he had to apply using hand-written letters, as was the Company policy. This store had three hundred and ninety three stores all over the country. He therefore wrote three hundred and ninety three letters, each before going to bed. He then sent to each individual manager. Time went by and three months later, there was still no response. He was so demoralized that he decided to leave it altogether and try another job. He however couldn't let go of his dream and whenever he got to bed all he could see was himself working there.
The next day he visited the nearest store, got to the manager and inquired about his letter. The manager explained that all applications were handled in the main office, which was a great distance from where he lived. He however used his savings and took a train to where the headquarters were. Upon inquiry, the beaming manager told him that he had received all three hundred and ninety three letters, and he knew that whoever had the determination to write such, would have the determination to go in person. The young man got the job and he not only became the manager of that particular store but the entire region as well. That young man and many others are examples of people who followed their hearts and eventually made it.
It doesn't matter where you are, who you are or what others think of you. Your inner self is much greater and given the chance, you can make a difference to yours and other people's lives. Albert Einstein said use what you have where you have it. Success is within reach; all you have to do is stretch and take hold of it. And if you follow your dream, nature will always be on your side. Brick walls will always be there, but they are there to stop those who don't want success as badly as you want it. Let nothing darken the way. You can change you tomorrow, if you seek your dream today.

How To Feel Inspired When Frustrated With The World Around Me

Our world as we know it is in turmoil; our leaders don't know what to do to get the country back on a track of prosperity - the American way. We all seem to be waiting for them to solve the problems, but not only is our country struggling with problems, many of our people are too...with several issues, one is their spirituality and self-worth.
Are you one of them?
Do you wake in the middle of the night wishing you could pack a bag and leave forever? Are you positive thee are something wrong spiritually and if you don't find out what it is you will just vanish from life as you know it?
Maybe some times you have to get down to the very basic truths and begin from there.

• You are the person you have evolved to at this point in time. You are the sum total of whatever you have learned, experienced, and come to understand until this moment.
• You are here doing exactly what you have chosen to do because that's the path you've taken that led to this exact spot.
• You are going depends on where it is you want to end up, and that can be anywhere...depending on how hard you want to work for it, toward it, what you are willing to sacrifice, and what it will cost you in the long run.
  

Perhaps our destiny-journey begins the first time we make a decision between two choices - it is our personal relationship with our inner spirit. At that precise instant we begin forming our inner beliefs and feelings - we choose what appears to be our 'right' path and follow it.
Each and every person must follow that path closest to their belief system - not all of those choices lead down a rose covered path to peace and contentment. Ironically, people making poor choices have chosen sad and confused lives, while those making good choices chose to lead lives of happy contentment.
Experience has taught us however, that no one path is clear to the end - every path takes its own detours and adjustments are made - poor choices can be altered and good choices can fall into despair.
No single spiritual path works for everyone, each seeker follows their own path to their ultimate destiny.
Whether your spiritual views are wide or narrow - they are yours; everyone has to pursue the path individually; being useful and helpful is often a path toward enlightenment.
You are spirit and soul in your own humanity - continue to search and learn - let the miracle of your inner peace begin by accepting who you are, where you're at, and why you're doing what you're doing - this is your existence. You are who you are and you are where you need to be, doing what you're doing. That is your destiny. Let God take care of the rest...especially the 'why'.
With so many of our people jobless, homeless, and bankrupt the questions of 'who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? What should I do?' And you know what - only a lucky few can answer these questions with conviction. Because of all the uncertainty the answers to each question changes as often as we think to ask it again and again.

Understanding Yourself - Steps To Understanding Yourself & Accepting Who You Are

Sometimes we lack a realistic view and understanding of ourselves which can lead to feelings of being "lost" in our lives and depression. Understanding yourself helps you to accept yourself the way you are, and in turn, makes you a happier person. You cannot control everything in life, but if you understand yourself and make good choices based on who you really are and knowing what you want out of life, you can definitely begin to enjoy life to the fullest.
Here are a few steps to start you on the road of understanding yourself:
Step 1: Accept that you are unique and valuable in your own special way, just as you are. We all matter to our close friends and family. You are very important both for yourself and to others.
Step 2: Now you need to dig deep to understand the real YOU, without any pretenses. Set time aside to do this exercise. Explore the way you really feel about yourself, you can start with answering a few questions like:
What are the fears and beliefs that are holding you back?
Are you living your life or are you just existing from day to day?
What makes you truly happy?
What are the things that you know you can do well?
What is your self talk? Negative? Positive?
Do you treat yourself and others with respect?
Do you take responsibility for your life or do you feel like a victim of your circumstances?
What do you want out of life?
In understanding yourself as much as you can, you start to gain confidence in your strengths and you will also recognize your weaknesses. Rather than shying away from your flaws, you could help yourself better by accepting them and working on them. Build an honest picture of who you truly are. Maybe you can ask close friends and family members, whose opinions you respect, to give you honest feedback on their perception of you and how you interact with them and respond to situations.
Step 3: Once you understand yourself, you can always work to better yourself, but it should be because of what you want to achieve in life and what you expect from yourself, not because you believe it to be what others want from, or expect from you. Remember there is no reason for you change who you are, unless you feel it will be beneficial to you and move you in the direction of the way you ultimately want to live your life.
Understanding yourself means being comfortable with who you are and what you are. It also helps you realize your strengths and weaknesses so you can accept and embrace yourself - warts and all.
Always remember, only YOU can be the perfect YOU!
You are what you are, and your understanding of your true self, will only help you to love and accept yourself.
