You can have the desires of your heart if you truly believe you are capable of having them. What you focus on without doubts really does come to pass. Your life is shaped by the things you spend the most time thinking about. Negative attracts negative, positive attract positive. Practice these secrets and change your life. Secret #1: Gratitude is Key In order to achieve the best results in the shortest period of time, gratitude is a key ingredient to your success. We've all heard the expression, "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched." Wrong! When you're able to celebrate the chickens before you can see them, you'll have more chickens than you ever thought possible! The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like. If you focus on your fears, what you don't have, and the negative feelings that go with all of that, you'll continue to attract lack and negativity. Focus instead on the gratitude you feel for the things you know are coming, as though they are already in your grasp, and you will attract them more quickly AND find even more reasons to be grateful. There is a special energy that comes to us when we believe something, and when we celebrate it, that energy brings what we ask for to us. The law of attraction applies to you in every aspect of your life (e.g. when you're looking for self- confidence, financial freedom, a new career pathway, the love of your life) and accelerates if you celebrate it in advance. How would you feel being (e.g. confident in yourself, financially free, a business owner of a successful agency, madly in love)? Express that feeling now and be grateful for it, and it will attract your confidence/wealth/business/partner to you much faster than if you bury your head in the sand. Does this all feel like make believe? Sure, especially after a bad day when nothing seems to be going right. Instead of dwelling on the negative feelings, put them aside and focus on why your life is Awesome. When you do that, it energizes something within you, and when you apply that to e.g. being in love, it attracts the perfect mate to you with grace and with ease. Today and every day, take a few minutes to be grateful, not only for what you have, but also for what you will have - as if you already have it. Create an expression of gratitude... I am so happy and grateful now that I've found… No one wants to hang around with a Debbie/Dougie Downer. When you focus on positive thoughts, you lift up yourself and those around you, and their positive energy lifts you up right back, and the cycle continues. You will attract what you put out, so make certain that you are first being that which you desire. Here is a positive daily affirmation you can use to get yourself on the right track: I am a strong, confident, beautiful (wo)man, who is living the life I have dreamed of. I love what I do and the people around me, and they in turn love me. I love myself and share that love with others. I know that I have the power to be, do or create anything in my life- anything, if I believe I can. I am in control of my emotions and my destiny. I make good choices that are right for me and those I care about the most. My life rocks in every way! So many times when you embark on a new or different journey, especially when friends and family are voicing their opinions on what you should or shouldn't do, it can be difficult to stay away from the negative thoughts. However, if you want this process to work for you, focus on your vision and celebrate it in advance! Only positive will attract positive, and you have to put it out there every single day. Summary: I am grateful for the life that I have in this moment and celebrate good things in my life in advance! Action Step: Dream big, and be specific. Write your statement of gratitude so you can say it every day. Record it and listen to it often, for when you do this, your desires will come to you more quickly. Secret #2: Focus on You If you're serious about getting the results you want, then you need to take this process seriously. When you make a real commitment, you'll be successful in finding your goal and sustaining it for life, not just a quick fix. Before you can hope to meet the goal (e.g. self/finances/career/mate) of your dreams, you need to prepare yourself--get your own house in order, so to speak. Mentally and physically, you need to get rid of the clutter and make room for the new, wonderful things you want to bring into your life. You'll attract a mirror image of yourself in many ways. Therefore, if you want to attract someone/something that rocks, you need to rock too- before you attract that goal. You must be confident in your own abilities, and realize that no one can make you "whole", but you. If you come to this journey as a whole person, then you will attract a whole person/experience. Your life is already amazing, so you want to find experiences and people that are also amazing. You don't want to bring experiences and people into your life that lack. For best results, if you don't feel like you're in that place yet, make sure that you're bringing the best you to the table before you go any further. As you start your quest, you need to get into the right mindset and make room in your life for your goal. Are you prepared to find the goal you say you want, and then to commit to it once you find it? Get clear on this now, for you're laying one of the strongest blocks in the foundation of your life and you don't want your house to crumble later due to a poor foundation. Creating a vision for what you want is one of the most important steps in this process. We all know folks who complain to friends that they just can't get to their goal or find "the one", yet, most times, they haven't even taken the time or made the effort to get clear on what it is they're looking for in the first place. It's almost impossible to find something if you don't know what you're looking for! In case you might be feeling like you want to skip this part and just go find an easier route to your goal right now, I'm going to ask you to trust me on this process. If you want to find someone/something that you can truly create happiness with, you have to get clarity first. These steps are necessary to start, so that you can remain grounded and on track when things start happening fast in the next few days/weeks/months. The speed will come from cutting to the chase, and you can only do that when you know where you're going. Another stumbling block for many is the belief that as smart humans, we must "make" things happen. Many times we don't take the first step to move forward on our dreams - to create a great financial future, career, relationship, start a new business, etc. - because we don't know how to complete the project. It's really critical to your success to understand this... As a part of the vision process, please focus on "what" you want and allow the "how" and the "who" to show up when they will. You can't "make" this happen. You can't "make" the right partner/experience show up, or "make" someone fall for you. The best you can do is get clear on your vision, take steps in that direction and then get out of the way and allow the magic to happen! GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY! As part of the visioning process, allow your mind to dream, create the perfect vision of what you want - how you choose to feel, focus on the end result and just relax. Hold the vision of the feelings you want to have when your experience/partner shows up in your life and let the Universe decide how to make it happen. Summary:  I am grateful for the life that I have in this moment and celebrate good things in my life in advance!  I have made room in my life for a relationship/new experience by creating space for my goal/partner.  When I look at the vision of the experience/relationship I choose to create and consciously feel the feelings I want to experience when I'm in love, I know this process attracts my partner/experience to me even faster! Today's Action Step: Now it’s your turn to look for the love goal of your life. Get very clear on how you would feel when this experience/person enters your life. In your mind, make a list of all the things that you love, all the things that you enjoy doing/envision happening, and include activities you want to do with your partner or in this experience, as well as goals that you want to achieve. Take some quiet time, close your eyes and see what your life looks like after you find your goal/partner. Will you live in the same place? Will you relocate to another area? Will you leave your job? Will you buy a new car? Will you travel the world? Will you have children together or not? What activities do you see yourselves doing together? Are you cooking dinner together at home or dining out at a favorite restaurant? What do you see in your perfect vision of a happy life together? See it. FEEL it. Let it flow.... Then, open your eyes and as you're smiling, knowing your dream is coming true, go find a photographic representation of that feeling. In other words, if you're feeling proud to be with your new partner/in your new career/financially free, then find a photo of someone that you would be proud to be with/someone that is walking in your new shoes/someone who models the wealth you will have. If you want a life of abundance together, find a photo that depicts two people in love, enjoying the finer things in life. If you want a partner who will share your passion for feeding the hungry, find a photo of a couple being of service. If you have a passion for healing the sick in your new business, find a picture of such, if you see yourself making large sums of money to build orphanages in Africa, go find pictures that depict this. A great resource is Google Images. You can enter almost any term in their search box and images will appear. Since you're not using these for any commercial venture, either take a screen shot or save the image and print it out. Above all, really go deep, think what's important to you, then find and print the photos that best represent the life you choose to create. You'll know you're on the right track by the big smile on your face as you look at the photos as you print them out. When you have your collection of photos of the life that is coming to you, grab some push pins and mount them on a cork board or on a wall or on a poster board where you will see them many times throughout the day. The most important thing to remember is this: when you see the vision board, celebrate having these things in your life NOW, before they actually show up. Pretend if you must, but make the feelings real. How do you think you'll feel when you're madly in love with your partner? How do you think you’ll feel as CEO of a major public company? How do you think you’ll feel being the first in your family to create generational wealth? FEEL THAT NOW. Smile. Laugh, and be grateful. Repeat this throughout the day, every time that you see your vision board, but for a minimum of 3 minutes first thing in the morning and 3 minutes before retiring in the evening. Be playful and have fun with it! Secret #4: Define Your Perfect Goal After creating the big vision, now it's time to be very specific about what you want. Be very detailed and clear... and be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it! Each of us has a different list of traits that we want in our goal experience/partner, things that would be nice to have, and things that are non-negotiable. Today is the day to get very clear on exactly what you want to bring into your life. The more specific you are with what you are looking for, the better chance you have at finding it. This is your time to dream, and to dream BIG. There are no limits on what you can ask for. Remember the scripture, "Ask and ye shall receive"? If you don't ask for what you want, you can't complain if it doesn't show up! You can have anything you want, if only you put it out there and believe that it will come to you. Secondly, all great religious texts tell us to believe that we will receive that which we ask for. This is a bit more difficult, as we're taught to doubt possibility and as a child, we're told to be "realistic". Believing that you will receive it is the most critical part of this process. If you remember what we talked about when you created your vision board, it's the feeling that will attract your goal experience/relationship to you, so please, trust this process and pretend, if you can't yet fully believe. FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT!!! Today, spend some time really thinking about your goal experience/relationship, what financial independence looks like, what being a successful business owner feels like, what he or she likes, perhaps even what he or she may look like, and fully describe your future partner. Be honest and include things that would simply rock your world, even if others may think you're crazy. Add enough fun things to the list to keep you happy for the next 50 years, and make certain you order what you really want from the Universe. Just generate a random list that is not prioritized. Just list the traits as they pop into your mind including: Qualities of my perfect goal (e.g., mate/job/finance/self) Notice how I focused on the positive aspects of what I want, not what I don't want. Manifest what you want to happen, and that is what will come to you! Summary:  I am grateful for the life that I have in this moment and celebrate good things in my life in advance!  I have made room in my life for this experience/relationship by creating space for my goal/partner.  When I look at the vision of the experience/relationship I choose to create and consciously feel the feelings I want to experience when I'm in love with my career/mate/financial future/self, I know that it attracts my goal experience/partner to me even faster!  I am clear about who I am and represent myself honestly to my potential experience/partner.  I have a clear vision of my experience/partner, inside and out and can easily describe this amazing experience/person.
