I'm reading the book The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. If you haven't read it, it's the story of a shepherd boy that wants more for his life. He sets out to find a treasure at the Pyramids in Egypt. While on his journey he meets different people that assist him in finding his "Personal Legend."

A story that stood out for me, was while in the desert the boy meets the alchemist. They travel by camels through the desert and come upon a hole in the ground. The alchemist gets down off his camel and reaches into the hole, sticking his arm way deep into the hole. He pulls out a cobra snake. He takes the snake and puts him on the ground and then draws a circle in the sand around the snake. The snake doesn't move out of the circle. The circle seems to contain the snake. Then the alchemist erases the circle in the sand and the snake slithers off into the desert.

How often do we do that?

We allow our boundaries, limitations and perceptions to keep us stuck. We say we desire a different life, yet given an opportunity we let it pass. Just like the snake, we don't even consider leaving our comfort zone. We don't want to leave all that we know for the unknown, whether that means starting school, a new business, having a baby, getting married, moving out of state etc... Whatever it is for you!

Don't you see?

All the boundaries and limitations are put their by....Us! We put these self restrictions on ourselves of what we think we're capable of.

To create the life that we say that we want, we must make different decisions...or else we'd already have that life.  

Different decisions=different results.

Look at the "story" you've told yourself about why you can't do something. Why you can't have a baby...too old, not enough money. Why you can't start a business...no funding, no support. Why you can't move out of state...don't know anyone, too far from family.  You can take any story that you've created for yourself and look at it objectively from a distance. You can see it much clearer from someone on the outside looking in.

What will it take?

1. Moving with Boldness

People may call you "crazy," but you'll know that you have a goal in mind. Author Andy Andrews tells this story about how others would tell him that he's not normal and with that he knew he was on the right track!

2. It's Okay to Feel Uncomfortable

You can only make changes with embracing that feeling of being uncomfortable. This is what you're looking for! If you're not feeling that feeling, you're not out of your comfort zone. Stretch yourself! It's going to take this to create your goal. I'll tell people, if reaching your goal was easy, you'd already have it in your life...it's going to take transforming how you think, what you say and how you act to create a big goal.

3. Today Not Tomorrow

So often when an opportunity arises, you must seize it. Do it today, not tomorrow. Our minds will often tell us, "Let's just wait until I get everything ready. I'm not ready yet." No! This is when you must step forward in the faith that you're headed in the right direction.

4. Focus on What You Want

It's easy to focus on all the things we don't want or like, in fact it's our own little negative party. Focus on what you want! The Law of Attraction says that whatever you give your energy and attention to, you'll attract more of the same.

5. Stare Down the Naysayers

Yes, the negative folks love to come out of the woodwork and tell us about how we can't create our dreams. One personal note here, I don't share my goals with people that aren't in my inner circle. I just don't. The reason? Because I learned a long time ago, that the naysayers love to fill you will fear, doubt and worry about achieving your goal. Stare the naysayer down, even if it's your closest family member and know that you can create your goal. Put yourself among people that are going to show you the exact way to create it, not people that are going to have you doubting your every move.

Charge On!

Do you feel the Law of Attraction is a SCAM?  You've wondered what all the talk is about? Because quite frankly, it doesn't work for you.

You ask, "Why can't I sell my house?

Why can't I seem to lose weight?

How come I don't have any money?

Why isn't the Law of Attraction working for me?"

The Law of Attraction is working in your life!

You, my friend, are living proof. You're attracting into your life what you're focused on.

The house isn't selling.

The weight will never go away.

I don't have any money.

Don't you see?

You're attracting to yourself what you don't what through your continued focus and attention on what you don't want. Your self talk about it, your conversations with family and friends about it, your looking at real estate stats on Yahoo, getting on the scale every morning just to confirm that you've not lost weight, checking your Wells Fargo account and watching the money disappear! You're looking for evidence of  failure...I know because I've done it myself!

Look for evidence of success! Look for the checks in the mail. Find the quarter in the parking lot outside your grocery store...yes, abundance! Looking for the greatness in what you are aable to attract. Take note! Write it down, keep evidence journal.

I'll look forward to hearing your results!

To Your Greatness,

Top 5 Reasons People Don't Live The Life They Want

Don't you have the acquaintance that says he wants a better life? He can talk the talk that's for sure. "I would love to move to Alaska." "I'm quitting my job and starting my own business." Or "I'm going to buy a house one of these days." You've heard the stories.

Kinda reminds me of the little boy who cried wolf.  With my friend like this, I hate to say, but when I hear statements like this, it holds little value. I'll say, "Hey man, if that's what you really want, do it!"

You know what's coming next, right?

The excuses.

"Oh, I don't have the money...

...time

...health

Or:

I've got too much debt...

...responsibility

...people counting on me.

So, here's the Top 5 Reasons People Don't Live The Life They Want

1. Fear

Fear is the killer of dreams. Too many people operate their life from a place of fear. Worrying about what might happen if they go after their dream. Fear of failure. Fear of what others might think. Fear of success...yes, success. Fear of change. Fear of losing everything. Fear of responsibility.

2. Talking To The Wrong People

This is another dream stealer. Naysayers love to share their fears, their failures and losses. They love the power of your attention as they tell you the worst. Spend your time talking to people that are positive of mindset...just a sidenote here...when you find positive people, spend your majority of your time around them. Sometimes, family and friends are the naysayers that are attempting to steal our goal right from under our nose.

3. Doubt

If you have a passionate goal, go after it. If you start with doubt, the odds of achieving your goal are going down. It's like standing on shifting soil, it's not a solid foundation. Let your belief that you will achieve your goal be your foundation.

4. Not Utilizing The Law of Attraction

Too many people don't understand the power of the Law of Attraction. They spend their energy focusing on what's not working, what's wrong, their struggles, their problems, their illnesses, friends problems, family issues and wonder why they're not creating the life that they want. It's not until someone starts focusing on what he/she wants, that his/her vibrational energy changes. Think about what you desire, talk about your desires and most importantly move with action toward your goal. We've all heard the expression, "talk is cheap." Just like my acquaintance, who yes, it talking about it. That's good. It's just, he's not taking any step toward his goal. You must move with action. Action is the faith of your foundation. It's difficult to doubt your goal, when you're moving with action.

5. Settling For Less

Too often people just settle for their life. 2 weeks vacation a year. Not too bad. "I'll spend one week helping family move and the other I can have to myself."...How about creating your life the way that you want? Vacation when you want, where you want. Now, that's creating your life!

We settle for the things in our life based on money. The food we eat, the clothes we wear, the entertainment we enjoy, the vacations we take, the schools we attend, the cars we drive...you get my point.  We base our decisions on money or what we think we can afford. It's not until we take responsibility for creating our life that we take the control to how our life looks.

Be BOLD! You'll not get the amazing life you desire by playing it safe. Risk = Reward. That's the only way to change the way your life looks now. I know for me, I used to play it safe and wonder why year after year, my life continued to look the same. It wasn't until I started moving through my life with bold decisions that my life started taking on a different look. Was it overnight? No, but I got here all the same! And here's the best part...

You can too!

So, use Nike's words, "Just Do It!"

I'll look forward to hearing your results!

Hi Everyone!

If you're joining us from our LawofAttraction123.com website...WELCOME!

I had a wonderful lady contact me this week. She has her own business and was worried about her business growing. She was picking my brain a little bit about my own Law of Attraction home based business and said to me, "I understand the Law of Attraction and I know it works...just not for me."

Wow! This kinda blew me away.

To know about the Law of Attraction and to understand how it works is leaps and bounds above most of the population.

To know that it works...just not for you.

So, of course, what do think was my first question?

"Why does it work for others, but not for you?"

She went on to tell me that it didn't work for her because she was a negative thinker.

Okay. I could follow how she could think that.

If you equate Law of Attraction with only attracting good things or items material in nature.

But here's the thing guys...

Law of Attraction doesn't only work some of the time. It's working all of the time. It doesn't only attract what's good and wonderful. With Law of Attraction, you're also attracting what you don't want.

That means, good or bad, right or wrong, truth or gossip, Law of Attraction is resonating with your thoughts, feelings, words and actions right now, whether you want it to or not.

So what did my lady business friend attract? A business with lots of problems. She told me that her biggest struggle was lack of customers.  I asked her how often she thought about not having enough customers. Her response was "all the time."  Of course, she was!

Look at what a great attractor she is! When you put your focus on lack of customers and you really start noticing how few customers you have, that's what you'll attract through your energy and focus. Instead of focusing on how great it is that someone thought enough of her business to walk through the door and how grateful she was that they were there. Focus on what you want!

Celebrate the success and ignore the things in your life that you don't want.

I'll look forward to hearing your results!

Opportunity This Week: Take a look at your business, your work, your relationship with your spouse, your relationship with your child...and focus on what you want.

Attracting Greatness!
