In the 20 years since Gary first spoke to me of the Universal Laws, I have been through a great deal, but I can still remember that day: I remember his face, where we had lunch, and how excited he was when he told me about it. It has taken me 20 years to actually grasp the real meaning of what is now called “The Secret.” Now, I want to share with you some proactive ways of putting this very essential force to work in your own life.
Let’s start. First, what is the “Secret?”
It isn’t a secret! It never has been!
Anyone can access these powers because we are all born with them. I know some people will say, “Well, why are some people starving in the world and others not?” I can only say this: We come into this life on earth to experience life, and we choose whatever it is that we need to learn. The next time you focus your thoughts on a starving child, immediately act on this –-sponsor one! If everyone in the world truly focused on starving children, can you even begin to imagine the thoughts that could be turned into real actions by this? Do you realize the power of thought, of hope, of dream? When you do, resolve to stop worrying about the poverty and do something to change it.
The Law of Attraction is an indisputable energy force. Everything you think everything you feel, creates your future.
I want to share some of my personal beliefs with you now, in the hopes that they will help you as much as they worked for me:
1. DO NOT EVER, EVER WORRY.
I know this one is 1,000 times more easily said than done; have you been reading my book? But here’s the bare-bones truth: I have realized that so many of my negative emotions and thoughts were instrumental in causing me to continue to freefall down the dark hole of despair. Negativity feeds on negativity, and the opposite is just as true.
2. DO NOT EVER TOLERATE ANY NEGATIVE EMOTIONS OR THOUGHTS OF YOUR OWN, OR FROM OTHERS.
Again, when you allow this to happen, it’s like opening a portal in your spirit (and your body) through which dark energy can just be “fused in,” causing depression, illness, or both. This is because, again, you literally create that which you are complaining about.
When you are in a negative frame of mind, do whatever it takes to change your feelings (like I do Taekwondo, for example), because positive affirmations alone will not determine or create a fantastic future! You’re going to need more assistance from yourself than that! The conscious and subconscious emotions you bring to your life situation will continue to affect you, no matter how many thousands of times a day you repeat your affirmations. So, getting your inner emotions in line with what you are actually saying in your affirmations is tantamount to increased awareness, a sense of balance within yourself, and a can-do attitude that will not fail you.
How does this work? First, we have to understand that this source, which originates from our thoughts and then manifests in the physical world, is a very simple concept: It is God! Let’s say God is a giant flame, and as you watch the flame you see millions of sparks flying off. We are all part of that spark –- we were created in God’s image, we are filled with the deepest essence of God!
Now, if you are God, and God created this Universe – what can you create? Because our creation process comes from tapping into our source energy, which is God, then there is no end to what we can create! See how freeing that is?
Also, because God also gave us free will, “asking for favours” doesn’t work – you have to tap into the source of God’s energy itself. And you do this by simply connecting deeply with your own thoughts and your feelings.
3, DON’T JUST “USE” AFFIRMATIONS: FEEL THEM. BELIEVE THEM.
You know by now that I have used affirmations meticulously, but when I say them, I FEEL them; I BELIEVE what I am saying. My affirmations are printed on posters and adorn the walls of my office. I gather pictures representing the happy, luxurious life I want to live, and I post them right up there on the wall! I DESERVE this; it is my UNIVERSAL RIGHT to have what I want – and this is true for each one of us!
