The Power of the Spoken Word was written by Florence Scovel Shinn many years ago. In the book, Ms. Shinn explains how your words create your world, claiming that “Affirmations Work.” She claimed that those who didn’t know the power of their words were living behind the times. She wrote this book in the 1950s and, just like Think and Grow Rich (written in the 1930s) and Self-Help (written in the 1850s), its message still resonates today. Let’s imagine a…
Imagine what your life would be like if you had followed through on every inspired idea that you ever had. I mean the truly inspired ideas that you were convinced would improve your life or the lives of others in a significant way. Beyond that, imagine a world in which everyone else had also put all of their inspired ideas into action too. How many more businesses, books, charities, inventions, products, services, and relationships would exist in the world if everyone…
As I’ve begun to dig deeper into The Law of Attraction and all that it entails, I’ve found that there are some aspects that I thrive at and others that I struggle with. Similar to a geometry student who excels in segment bisectors but can’t quite grasp general convexity or a novice botanist who revels in plant anatomy but shirks away from plant genetics, I’ve found that I am good with affirmations and visualizing but am woefully impatient and thus…
In one of my many past jobs, I was a customer service agent for a major United States bank. Over time, I came to notice that although I greeted each caller with a pleasant “Good Morning, Who do I have the pleasure of speaking to?” many times, I was greeted not with a first and last name, but with “You should really do something about the automated system!” or “I’ve been on hold for 20 minutes.” Don’t get me wrong,…
We came into the world as a blank slate. We had no fears and knew no limits. As we grew and developed, we acclimated to our surroundings by adopting and internalizing the norms and beliefs of our environment. Some of these beliefs were good (My life is an incredible gift) and some were not so good (The world is a dangerous place). Some were downright destructive (I’m not good enough). By definition, a belief is an acceptance that a statement…
For the past several months, I’ve been telling you how to use the Law of Attraction to change your current circumstances and bring your dream life to reality. I’ve hit upon visualization, gratitude, giving, and managing your thoughts. We can meditate and recite affirmations until we’re blue in the face but fate isn’t going to simply deliver our dream life to us on a silver platter while we sit on the sofa watching TV, playing Xbox or PlayStation, or otherwise…
How many articles have you read that give you the 3 Ways To Use The Secret In Your Life or The 7 Ways to Use the Law of Attraction or The 11 Actions To Undertake for Wealth Consciousness? These all generally include topics of affirmations, visualizations, and gratitude. These practices put the responsibility on the individual. But there is one abundance action that I continue to read about over and over despite its counter-intuitiveness. It is one that puts the…
Ever wondered what “Thoughts being Things” has to do with the Law of Attraction? Henry Thomas Hamblin, an English mystic and New Thought author, figured it out and wrote about it in his book “Dynamic Thought”. He also tells how hypnotism and other occult mental work actually work against this Law – by attracting to yourself things you actually don’t want. You can learn through this book excerpt some of the precise explanations and instructional examples of how to apply the Law of Attraction effectively…
How many ads or articles have you seen that promised to show you how to manifest money fast? Granted, on the surface many of these claims may seem hard to believe. But there is an actual science to manifesting money rapidly. You can learn to apply this science to your life and begin to see great results before you know it. While many people trying to manifest money use visualization, affirmations, and other aspects of the Law of Attraction, very…
Some of the things people most desire to have, or to improve in their life are money, a loving relationship, a successful job, great health, a nice house, and a new car. Most people are content to just dream about these things, but think that they can never actually obtain them. What people don’t realize is that all of these things (and more) can be theirs through the power of manifestation. Manifesting ones desires is more than wishful thinking; it…
If you’re reading this right now you probably have been broke, are broke, or know someone who is struggling with being broke. The pain and suffering of being in this state is truly awful. Being broke causes thoughts of despair, feelings of failure, desperation, struggle, lack and need. Being broke prevents us from reaching our potential and from living our lives freely. Being broke prevents us from being wealthy. How is this possible? Because thoughts become things! If you believe…
In Matthew 13:12, Jesus tells us For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. This perceived redistribution of income from the rich to the richer rather than to the poor sounds like late 20th century capitalism instead of 1st century Gospel. Or the unattributed 16th century proverb “Money makes money”. Our initial response to both statements is that it is just not fair…
Regardless of how strong and able you are, you can do little in life by yourself. Life is a complex thing, and individuals are interdependent upon each other to make things happen. One individual, separated from everyone else, can accomplish little or nothing towards his personal goals or the societal goals. To be successful, we must form combinations, arrangements, harmonies and agreements with other people in conjunction with favorable environments and resources. Remember, no man is an island! We attract…
The ability to create is a God given gift – a gift given to everyone without exception. Thought is the first step to manifesting any creation. Thoughts are energy, they are real. Your thoughts act as magnets and attract other thoughts, people, and circumstances that harmonize with them. Thoughts operate and adhere to certain universal laws. Without these laws there would be no order; the universe itself would sink into chaos. The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like….
Integrity [in-teg-ri-tee] the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. There’s no way to fake integrity. You are either in integrity – offering a pure positive vibration which the Law of Attraction responds to, or you’re out of integrity, which creates a negative or mixed vibration, which the Law of Attraction cannot ignore. Every person declares his or her own personal integrity based on personal beliefs, faith, values, principles, and life choices. However, we all have…
All that we create or do not create in our lives comes from our choices. It is important that we each embrace and understand the dynamics of this essential ingredient of power. We suffer when we dis-empower ourselves by feeling that we are not in control of our destiny. Freedom lies in understanding that we choose everything! Even in inaction there is a choice. In reality there is no true inaction or stagnation; everything happens because of a choice. You…
Real talk: many of us have a desire to make more money, but so often we get caught up in the mindset that money is the reward of hard work. The words quick and easy don’t seem believable to us when it comes to manifesting money. It is extremely difficult to manifest more money if you don’t know how – if your outlook is wrong. The concept of manifesting requires a deep understanding of not only your relationship to your…
I remember the first time I heard about The Secret – I was driving past a friend’s house and decided to pop in and say hello. I’ll never forget what he said to me: “The Secret really works; I was thinking about you and now here you are.” It was quite some time before I actually saw the movie but I was fascinated at the thought of my thoughts manifesting into reality. If you haven’t seen the movie, or read…

DAY TWO. I came across another mindset article today. My take away from this particular article was “Know What You Want”. As with any objective, you can’t have it or get there without a plan. If you’ve been on this path of self-development for more than 30 minutes, you’ve heard this before, right? It sounds easy and makes a lot of sense, but how do we know if what we’re working on is a wish or a goal? THIS MAKES…
THIS IS ME I’m smart. I’m healthy. I’m comfortable. I’ve lived a good life. I’M BORED! I am well educated (BS Boston University, MBA Boston College, and for good measure, MS in Nonprofit Management). I’ve been a financial adviser. I’ve advised start-up businesses. I’ve been a fundraiser and an advocate. I’ve managed restaurants, warehouses, and fund groups. I’ve traveled to a majority of the 48 contiguous states as well as Canada, Mexico, and a handful of island nations that make…
