Exactly what is the secret law of attraction? Since the release of the book and movie entitled ‘The Secret’ tens of thousands of people around the world want to find out more.

Even before this, there had been a lot of information on the subject, but people really did not understand the concept and people still do not understand how the process works. Here you will find some information to help so that you too can understand the power of the law of attraction.

Many of the most successful people in the world, use the secret law of attraction. People use this power either consciously or unconsciously. It allows a person to get anything they want, as well as be the person they want to be, through the use of the mind. The way we think is what determines our fates and how we live.

The secret law of attraction is what will guide you in attracting all of the things that you need. The way that you live and the amount of money you have reflects the way that you think. To not have money is the inability to access all the things in life that you want to do. For complete happiness a person should contain the ability to give to the ones that they love. People must have access to the material things in life in order to develop fully in mind, body, and soul.

Freeing yourself of certain ways of thinking, will allow mastery of the law of attraction. You have to be able to understand that all things in life are just a substance of thoughts that one creates and it is from that everything is made. Your thoughts are what create your life the way in which you want. You are the person who contains the ability to change life and create it in the way you wish to live.

Reaching the things in life that you want is dependant on how much you really want it. Writing down the things you want in the present tense is something that will help you to achieve it. Every day you should look at the thing that you want and think about it, and imagine that you have it now.

The thing you want should be something that your really want. It should have the potential for making your life better. You also must contain a certainty that it is a thing that you want. While thinking of this thing, you should have your mind clear from any other thoughts. This will allow you then to focus on the true desire that you have. The best way to improve concentration and focus is through meditation.

While you are asking, you need to believe that you will receive. Throughout the process stay relaxed and work towards reaching your subconsciousness. The place that you are during this process should be quiet. Belief is most important in order to increase the chances of things working.

Visualization helps to send a clear picture to the universe of the thing that you want and allowing your imagination to flow is vital. After sending out pictures to the universe of what you want, you should express gratitude, since you know you will receive the thing that you requested. Live life in a grateful mind, from that moment on.

The secret law of attraction is only met, when you truly believe and place all faith in the world around you. This means that you cannot continue to want what you request, but to know without doubt that you will have it.

The worst business advice I ever received was…

“If you want it done right, then do it yourself!”

1. I don’t have enough time in a day to do everything myself.
2. My most successful products have been compilations of other people’s ideas & stuff.
3. When you Joint Venture with others you get to use their lists too! That’s HUGE leverage!
4. I don’t need to be ‘qualified’, I can hire someone else who is!
5. I’m in business for myself so I can have time to enjoy my time with my husband & kids!

Melissa Gilbert meets Amanda van der Gulik

Last week I had the unique opportunity to meet Melissa
Gilbert in person. You may know her as the little girl
who played Laura Ingles in the famous TV show, “Little
House on The Prairie” based on the “Little House” books
written by Laura Ingles Wilder.

WOW, what a wonderful experience.

First of all I have to tell you a little bit of background
here. I have been absolutely in love with the whole “Little
House” books and the TV series since I was a little girl.

There is just such a sense of complete happiness and
comfort to them that give you a true feeling of peace.
I just love that.

Last Christmas my sweet husband, gave me the complete
TV series as my Christmas present. What joy. ;o)
I was over the moon.

Since then we’ve been watching one espisode each night
at dinner time with our kids as well as reading a chapter
or two of the “Little House” books for our homeschooling
english classes.

So we were thrilled to find out that there was a musical
as well and that Melissa Gilbert was playing ‘Ma’ in the
musical.

We went to the show and it was incredible, I highly
recommend it. It’s in Toronto playing at the Cannon
Theatre right now, and it’s moving to other cities
as well, if it get to a city near you, go and see it.
You’ll be so delighted by it. The girl who now plays
Laura is incredible.

Anyway after that show I asked if we could meet Melissa.
She wasn’t doing any signing but the lady at the door said
she’d let us out the back entrance where the stage crew
leave after work and then it was just let up to chance
whether or not we would see her.

It was absolutely freezing out and we had little children
with us, so we wouldn’t be able to wait out long, and we
wouldn’t be allowed back inside once we were let out.

So I got the kids all bundled up after a quick trip to the
bathroom with them all and out we went.

Well, it was exactly one minute after we were let outside
that the stage door opened and out came the full cast.

It was thrilling to see Melissa in person. And there were
only 4 other fans waiting outside to see her, so our timing
couldn’t have been better.

It was cold and I knew she was tired after just doing
two shows back to back in one day, so I didn’t want
to take up too much of her time. The other fans all wanted
autographs, but I wanted something more personal to
remember her by. So I asked for a photo.

She was so sweet to our kids, you can tell that she is a
natural with kids. We told her that we had come from
New Zealand and that caughter her interest. Then my
little girl told her that we had seen all of her ‘Little
House’ shows and movies and she was so sweet, bending
down and speaking directly to my daughter.

Anyway, just wanted to share with you how you can have
your dreams come true if you believe.

I didn’t tell you this yet, but I had hoped to meet Melissa
in person but didn’t really expect it to happen until I took
my kids to the bathroom before heading outside.

I found myself saying, “oh I hope we’ll get to meet her” and
then I noticed what I was saying and quickly corrected myself.
I told myself, “I’m so happy and grateful now that Melissa
and I have met, she was so sweet with my kids and we have the
most amazing photo of her with us. What a treat that was.”

(I am learning the principles that make the Law of Attraction
work, so as a LOA student I am always ready to adjust my
thoughts into present, positive tense, and it’s amazing how
that has positively affected my life so far.)

So I didn’t even feel surprised when it came true just as I
had immagined it. I felt incredible gratitude but not surprise.

I wish for all of your dreams to come true also.

Here’s to your and your child’s MASSIVE SUCCESS!

In your life, you will meet a variety of different people. Some of these people will be smarter than others; some will be kinder than others. Some will possess the highest qualifications in their field. However, any of these factors may or may not determine the success of these people. What seperates them is the use, knowingly or unknowingly of the laws of attraction.

Many people feel the success is an ephemeral quality that cannot be grasped, but only bestowed. These people, regardless of their other qualifications, will probably never be successful. This is because success is not only something that you can grasp, but something that you must grasp if you ever truly want it. The best way to grab success and make it your own is through using the laws of attraction.

Your self-perception is created through all the experiences you have gathered in your lifetime. Unfortunately, for most of us, these experiences have taught us that we are not qualified enough or smart enough or lucky enough to achieve our goals. In some cases, a single bad experience as far back as our school days can color our self-perception for the rest of our lives and you may never understand the law of attraction.

It is harder than you think. Most of our life is taken up running errands, meeting deadlines, cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, and – of course – sleeping. If we do get a few moments to ourselves, we generally turn on the television and turn off our brains. In order to get to know yourself, you have to take time to spend alone.

Go through an inventory of your physical, mental, and spiritual characteristics and try to describe each and every one of them in a positive light. Don’t gloss over anything and don’t forget anything either. Even a single negative self-perception lingering on your psyche can ruin the effects of the laws of attraction. Take all the time you need, days, weeks, months, or even years to convince yourself that you are a great person who deserves wonderful things.

Don’t exaggerate your strengths and conversely, don’t overplay your weaknesses. Instead, take every weakness and try to look at it in an angle that can re-create it into a success. For example, instead of thinking ‘I’m a pushover, ‘ think ‘I’m a good team player.’

Every time you notice a negative trait in yourself, find a way to rephrase it in a positive light. If you keep consciously doing this for months it will eventually become second nature. You will learn to think positively of yourself. Once you can do that, it is time to let the laws of attraction loose.

After all this hard work laying the foundation, the laws of attraction are surprisingly simple. If you view yourself as a good, hardworking person, other people will also view you in that light. If you feel you are the best qualified for a job, then your potential employer may also think that way. Harness the power of positive thinking to change the way others see you. The laws of attraction are your stepping stone to the path of success.
