Words That Hold Us Back!

Words are so powerful and a lot of times they are wrapped in feeling and emotion. If you look at where you are in your life or the circumstances you are experiencing I am sure the words in your vocabulary will be directly related. Therefore it is of the most importance to speak words that are positive and empowering. Below are some words that hold us back....

1. Can't or Cannot
This is a terribly negative word and it is completely self limiting. Using this word is the reason why your hopes and dreams do not go any where. You are sure to see a positive change in your life if you eliminate this word entirely!

2. Should
The word "should" has a feeling of guilt surrounding it. "I should go to the gym," makes you feel guilty for not going. Use the word "choose" as in, "I choose to go to the gym, or I choose not to go to the gym today." Or better yet...stop procrastinating and get to the gym! Sometimes just doing the action clears up all that guilt! How empowering is that?

3. But
This is a sneaky word to be avoided at all costs. When you use the word "but" you are negating whatever statement you have said. For example: I want to get in shape and feel healthy, but it will take a lot of hard work. Your mind does not focus on your desire to get in shape and feel healthy; it only sees the hard work. You could say: I want to get in shape and feel healthy. It will be hard work but I am worth it!

4. If
"If" is a small word that carries a lot of negative punch! Using this word often can cause doubt in our self confidence and intentions. This impedes any type of success.

5. Maybe
Maybe is an indecisive word full of doubt. This word emits a feeling of lack of confidence and resolve. Try using more confident words like "I will" because these words automatically emit a feeling of confidence which are so critical to your personal well-being.

6. Sooner or Later or someday
These words are pretty non-committal and should be replaced with a defintie time and date. Using these words emits a feeling of lack of committment and integrity.

7. Never
This is a powerful negative word and it indicates a closed mind. Try not to use this word because in order to grow we must be open minded. I guess that phrase "never say never" was created for a reason!

8. Won't or Will Not
These words imply an unwillingness, reluctance, or closed mindedness, and is much like the word "never" so avoiding these words can keep the mind open and keep us on the path towards our goals.

9. Try or (I'll Try)
This is a non committal word and usually represents something that will not get done. Replace it with "I will."

12 Life Lessons I Learned From My Cat

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
My friend Wendell sent this to me yesterday and I thought it was something to share! Hope you like it and Thank You Wendell!!!

1. Pounce on opportunity. He who hesitates, misses catching the passing lizard.
   
   
2. Patience. Infinite patience...
   
   
3. Concentration. A cat studying an opportunity just beyond his grasp is the epitome of focused attention. He doesn't even blink as he tunes out all distractions. His body is completely still except for his wildly twitching tail releasing his nervous energy.
   
   
4. Nothing is worth disturbing your beauty sleep.
   
   
5. Catnap. Even a few moments of shut-eye is refreshing.
   
   
6. If you're happy, purr. Show your appreciation by letting people know that you like what they do.
   
   
7. Do cat stretches - and other yoga poses, and try Qigong. Especially as we age, gentle stretching is one of the best things we can do for our bodies.
   
   
8. Wrestle with your best friend. She likes it when you're playful.
   
   
9. Eat when you're hungry and not by the clock.
   
   
10. Ask for what you want. If you are lovable and patient, you will probably get it.
    
    
11. You can't have everything you want. If you put your claws where they don't belong, you're going to get spanked.
    
    
12. Revel in life's simple pleasures. A ball of string is magic. Catnip is heavenly.

Law of Attraction Exercise

Happy Thursday Everyone!!

When you look at yourself and feel bad about any part of you, you will continue to attract these not so nice feelings of dissatisfaction. This is because the law of attraction mirrors back to you exactly what you are holding inside. So, everyday be aware of the wonderful person you are and the magnificence you have within you!

Write a list right now of all the wonderful things about you! Think of everything you can! I know your list will be long if you really try to focus on the good stuff! Troy and I do this sort of thing often and each time we do it our list gets longer and the best part is that it makes you feel really good about yourself! To start out try thinking of 10 things and see if you can expand on that each time!

This exercise definitely creates a shift in your focus!! Try it out and let me know what you think!

Tips For Feeling Good!

1. Learn to love yourself because how can you love anyone else if you do not love YOU?
   
   
2. Try not to judge the actions or beliefs of other people because everyone has the right and freedom to think and do what they want. Judgement and criticism reflects back to the person having those thoughts.
   
   
3. Never put yourself down with negative thoughts and feelings. One thing I do to help curb negative thoughts about myself is I write a list of all the wonderful things about me! I try to think of everything that I can and I add to it often! This shifts your thoughts from negative and self limiting to positive and empowering.
   
   
4. Try to look for the positive things in other people and focus only on those things.
   
   
5. Write a list of 10 things to be grateful for. Start your day with this even if you are not feeling happy. This action of writing this will shift your thoughts and you will begin attracting more things to be grateful for. Really, what do you have to lose? It only takes 5 minutes and it is SO powerful!
   
   
6. Focus on making yourself happy and doing things that make you happy.
   
   
7. Take responsibility for your own happiness. Do not except anyone else to make you happy or blame them for your unhappiness. Happiness comes from within you. It is an inside job!
   
   
8. Happiness is an inside job so that means that you are not responsible for. trying to make other people happy. Allow them to find their own happiness.
   
   
9. Do not expect others to behave a certain way so that is makes you happy. You control your own happiness, no matter what anyone else is doing or how they are behaving.
   
   
10. Take time everyday to appreciate what you have and the glorious gift of life.
    
    
11. Do not dwell on the past or focus on the future because what matters is right now. Your thoughts and feelings in this present moment are paving your future events. The present moment is our gift. Why else is it called the present? :-)
    
    
12. If something you really want does not work out then have faith that it is because the universe is bringing you something way better!
    

Beyond The Secret

BEYOND THE SECRET

I truly was amazed when I watched "Beyond The Secret" and it has filled in a lot of the gaps that I had after
watching "The Secret." Don't get me wrong "The Secret" was amazing and it was definitely a catalyst in my personal development journey but it left me wanting to know more and to know how to apply the principles. "Beyond the Secret" delves into how one can go about applying these principles and how to make the Law of Attraction work for you.

The entire DVD was incredible however there were a few segments that really jumped out at me. Bob Proctor and Les Brown had the most profound affect on me. Les Brown just makes me smile when he talks. He is probably one of the best motivational speakers on the planet and you will see why when you watch "Beyond The Secret." Mary Morrissey tells an inspirational story about a single mother that was really amazing.

This is a movie you will want to watch multiple times and each time you watch it you will learn something new. There are so many great ideas expressed in this film and it is too deep to absorb in just one viewing.

If you loved “The Secret,” you will love “Beyond the Secret.” I highly recommend that you get it, watch it and take action towards achieving your dreams.

Squidoo

Hi Everyone!

Check out my Squidoo Lens on the The Law of Attraction at:

SQUIDOO LENS

Hold My Hand

Once, a man named Joe and his little girl were crossing a wooden-bridge in Tarrytown, New York.

Joe was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river."

The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand."

"What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father.

"There's a big difference," replied the little girl.

"If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.

As you may already know, over the last 40 years of Bob Proctor's life he's been holding people's hands and leading them step-by-step across the bridge to a life of richness and success.

If you allow him to hold your hand... he promises to keep your faith and lead you to a world of insane wealth and prosperity.

Six Minutes To Success

Where There is Love...

What I'm about to tell you will make you afraid.

Probably very afraid.

But more importantly it has the potential of making you a bucket load of money.

Listen carefully: A woman living in downtown Ontario, Canada came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard.

She did not recognize them.

She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?" they asked.

"No", she replied. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"

The woman went out and invited the men in.

"We do not go into a house together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said.

Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!" he said. "Since that's the case, let's invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter's advice," said the husband to his wife.

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!"

I heard that story from an amazing friend of mine, Bob Proctor. He went on and told me this: "Most people don't have wealth or success in their lives and that's probably because they don't know how to love. Whether you want just wealth, success or love in your life... I can help you achieve it."

I believe in Bob Proctor 100%. He has helped me achieve great success in life, and he can help you too. But there's one condition...

You've got to give him 6 minutes of your life everyday till the day he helps you achieve your goals. Is that a deal? Okay, then as a first step, go to this website right now: Six Minutes To Success

Make sure you read all the way through to the end. There is a HUGE secret hidden within the website.

Six Minutes To Success

Stop Feeling Frustrated and Start Manifesting!

Do you remember that initial feeling of hope you felt when you watched The Secret for the first time? I can remember the desire and inspiration that I felt swelling in my heart. I thought - Yes, I can FINALLY make my dreams come true.

How many of you soon saw that hope and inspiration turn into frustration? How many of you (and be completely honest) started thinking and saying things like:

• “It seems to work for other people, but I just cannot get it right.”
  
• “I am frustrated that sometimes I can get it to work, but sometimes I cannot. What is the trick?”
  
• “Why am I having so much trouble?”
  
• “I think the universe is against me.”
  
• “I am trying very,VERY hard but still nothing is happening!”
  

Well, you are not alone so do not worry. Did you know that close to 97% of the people that try to use the Law of Attraction do not get it to work for them the first time? When you think about it, it makes sense because almost anything in life requires a lot of practice before you see success. A child does not learn to walk the first time he or she tries. A child learns to walk after falling over and getting back up and trying again....over and over again.

There is the saying that it is easier said then done and it can sure feel that way when you are are frustrated. It is hard to stay positive when you are frustrated but even more so when the evidence all around you screams negativity like the unstable ecomony or the senseless acts of violence.

Do you know what happens when you fail to stay positive? That is right – you start to attract negative things into your life. This is law....the Law of Attraction.

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 ease?

Well, I have compiled three quick tips to help you banish those negative thoughts of frustration so that you will learn how to start manifesting like a professional.

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 cannot even give an answer, right?

It is the same thing with your mind and your thoughts. If the only thing your mind is doing is transmit, transmit, transmit, the universe — which is trying to respond — cannot 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 looking for riches, and then wondering why nobody is dropping a penny in your cup (Hint: It is because you are running away too fast for them before they can even reach for their wallets).
Just think of your desires and put them out there, relax, 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.

Unfortunately, so many people give up just before the finish line because they get frustrated and decide that if it is not working by now, it is not going to work at all. Even worse are those that try to force the results but adding more and more resources and complexities. This usually ends up feeling like a struggle. This is like expecting 9 mothers to conceive and deliver a baby in 1 month. You also cannot bake cookies in half the time by doubling the temperature.

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 too require support. You require guidance and role models to look up to.

Many people give up because they think that “The Secret” is the “be all and end all” solution. The “The Secret” is just the tip of the iceberg. It was never intended, and has never been, the whole answer.

Coming to the conclusion that the Law of Attraction does not 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, it will indeed deliver, if you do your part too!
