Swinging on a Star

One day in either late 1943 or early 1944 (can any reader help me here and fill in the gap?) one of the sons of the legendary Bing Crosby complained he did not want to go to school but wanted to stay home and play instead.  Bing replied "If you don't go to school you might grow up to be a mule.  Do you wanna do that?"  Song writer Jimmy Van Heusen was there, and thought this could be the beginning of a great song, so he took the idea to lyricist Johnny Burke.  Together they wrote the song "Swinging on a Star" for the movie "Going My Way". The song was released in February 1944 and became one of Bing Crosby's greatest hits.

Why am I writing about a Bing Crosby song in a blog on personal development?  At the end of this article I have reproduced the full lyrics and have also included a video of Bing singing this song in "Going My Way".  Read the lyrics carefully and thoughtfully (ignoring the insults to some lovely animals!) and I think you will see exactly why!

This song may have originally been aimed at children not wanting to go to school, and the lesson there still applies (my younger readers take note!).  But the lesson is actually very much wider.

Where do you really want to be in life?  Are you aiming at the stars or settling for something far more mundane?  If the latter, why?  If the former, what are you doing right now to get closer to your dream?

This is not simply about material success, although it applies equally here of course.  What "aiming for the stars" really means is a very personal thing.  It may simply mean becoming a much more loving and caring person.  Making a real difference in life.  But whatever it means to you, take inspiration now from this song and start doing something to make your dream a reality.  You can do it!



"Would you like to swing on a star,
carry moonbeams home in a jar,
and be better off than you are,
or would you rather be a mule?

A mule is an animal with long funny ears.
He kicks up at anything he hears.
His back is brawny but his brain is weak.
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak,
and by the way if you hate to go to school
you may grow up to be a mule.

Oh would you like to swing on a star,
carry moonbeams home in a jar,
and be better off than you are,
or would you rather be a pig?

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face;
his shoes are a terrible disgrace.
He has no manners when he eats his food.
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude.
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
you may grow up to be a pig.

Oh would you like to swing on a star,
carry moonbeams home in a jar,
and be better off than you are,
or would you rather be a pig?

A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook.
He can't write his name or read a book.
To fool the people is his only thought
and though he's slippery he still gets caught;
but if then that sort of life is what you wish
you may grow up to be a fish.
A new kind of jumped up slippery fish!

And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo;
everyday you see quite a few.
So you see it's all up to you,
you could be better than you are
you could be swinging on a star."

What is Hypnosis?

So, what IS hypnosis?

Here is a dictionary definition:

"Hypnosis is the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person loses the power of voluntary action and is tremendously conscious of suggestion or direction."

To go into a little more detail you could say that hypnosis is often over exaggerated. The term "Hypnosis" is used to describe a trance-like state.

However, in point of fact we all go in and out of mild “trances” every day; those moments when our minds wander and we daydream, even when we just shut the planet out and deeply focus on a book we are reading.

These are trance like states, and they are all natural and safe. Hypnosis simply puts you into one of these mild “trance” states purposefully, and over time the hypnotist plants simple, beneficial messages into your subconscious mind.

Although you might not remember everything which is said to you once you enter a trance you are not actually asleep.  Hypnosis is a wakeful state in which you are both deeply relaxed but also have a heightened sense of awareness and are open to suggestion.

Because of this heightened mind-set you can use hypnosis to make changes within your mind which would be much harder with conscious coaching alone.

To sum up very briefly, it might be said that hypnosis gains access the subconscious mind to get rid of the negative beliefs which hinder personal development.

What can hypnosis help?

Well, it’s almost a case of what can’t be done, or what can’t hypnosis be used for...

Hypnosis has a reputation of treating phobic disorders and fears, or at least this is the way it started out. It then began to be used with good results for weight reduction and stopping smoking.

Hypnosis is now used for the elimination of almost any unfavorable belief, it is used to help a wide range of health problems, and is massively effective for bettering self beliefs such as self-esteem and confidence.

It is possible to obtain these benefits by consulting with a hypnotherapist.  This can, however, be a rather expensive way of doing so.

Nowadays it is possible to obtain benefits more economically through mp3 downloads.  One firm pioneering this "self-help" hypnosis method is "Natural Hypnosis".  You can try out their methods initially by downloading 3 albums for free.  If you find them of benefit then you can go back to them and get something more particularly targeted to your own self-development aims.

Hypnosis is no miracle cure.  In fact, by itself it is not a cure at all.  If you feel you need a cure for anything then you should, of course, see your doctor.  But if you are looking for a simple tool to help you by giving you a positive attitude and increased mental strength then using hypnosis can be a very effective addition to your armoury of self-help tools.

Program Yourself for Success

We are being programmed to achieve all the time.  But most of the time what we are being programmed to achieve is not what we WANT to achieve.  We achieve it anyway, as that is what our program tells us to do, even though we probably wanted something quite different.

Take a few minutes to watch this video by Denis Waitley, one of the top authorities in the world on achieving greatness:



So, how can you make sure you are getting the right programming?

There are many ways of doing this.  For example, you should work hard to ensure you have exactly the right goals, and then affirm those goals every day when you awake and before you go to bed.

You can also program yourself for success by using subliminal messaging.

Subliminal messaging is hardly a new concept, yet still it gets misunderstood in the media. This doesn't have to be so though, as in-fact it is pretty simple really. This article will show you in a very down to earth way how it works, and how you too can use it to help shape your subconscious for the better.

The word "subliminal" itself comes from the Latin words "sub" and "limen", which literally translate as "below the threshold". All this means is that a subliminal message can be any piece of information our minds receive below the threshold of our conscious levels of perception.

It can come in many different forms, from sounds moved to a higher sound frequency, to images or text flashed faster than we can see. The most basic example of subliminal messaging is from our every day environment. We are always filtering information out - only processing information that we need in the present moment in time.

When walking in the street we notice the traffic around us, when walking on the path we hardly take notice of cars passing just a few feet away. When we are talking to our friends we focus in on this - hearing nothing else... but if we then hear our name called by someone outside our group this information manages to get through.

You have been unconsciously processing this conversation all the time - only when you hear your name do you fully focus in on itproperly.

Can Subliminal Audio Help?

YES OF COURSE THEY CAN!

This isn't just interesting pop psychology.These principles can be applied in the form of subliminal audio and used to help you in life - help you to boost your confidence, levels of self esteem, boost willpower, develop motivation - the possibilities are almost limitless.

This is all because we are capable of absorbing information we are not consciously aware of.

By using subliminal messages you will gradually receive these positive messages over and over. In time they will build in your mind and start making changes to your self beliefs and ways of thinking

You might still be unsure (many people are before they try it for themselves), if so then you are in luck as SubliminalMP3s.com are the leaders in subliminal audio, and the best part is that you can download 3 free subliminal audio albums along with their email course in subliminal messaging. This way you can experience the benefits of subliminal messaging completely risk free and see for yourself how it works..

Winner State

Watch this great little clip of Tony Robbins teaching us how to achieve a "Winner State"!

Starting to Meditate

There are many different kinds of meditation, with many different purposes.  Some people use it as the end itself, rather than a means to an end; they simply enjoy the meditative state.  Others use it for spiritual purposes, whether they be Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, another religion, or even a humanistic spiritual end.  Some wish to achieve out-of-body states, acquire paranormal powers, or use their meditation for other occult purposes.  Some just want to get the health benefits that come from a period of relaxation and meditation.  Yet others simply want to learn to relax and focus better so they can achieve their goals.  No matter what aspect of self-development attracts you, it is very likely that using meditation will help you achieve your goals more rapidly and more effectively.

Learning to meditate properly is not, however, something you can simply pick up and try and get instant results. As with any other worthwhile skill, you have to be prepared to practise regularly.  You have to be willing to suspend any disbelief, make meditation a regular habit, and do it properly not half-heartedly.

Imagine you were hoping to learn to play the piano.  You had never played any keyboard instrument before, so you were starting as a complete beginner.  This has real meaning for me, as I received an electric keyboard as a Christmas present and had never played any kind of keyboard before - unless you count my computer keyboard!  I could have acted like an overgrown child, tried playing a few notes, realised what came out was not music, and given up in disgust.  I could have reacted by saying that I had tried playing it and that it was clear nobody could possibly make any beautiful sounds come out of such an instrument.  That Chopin and Rachmaninov were deceiving us and that no keyboard or piano could make sounds like those we hear in their beautiful preludes and concertos.  Or I could have said that I needed a good piano teacher and that there was no point doing anything until I found one.  But that is not how I reacted.  Instead, I resolved to practise a little every day.  To make just a slight improvement each day, until with regular practice I could produce some music which sounded beautiful to me and which gave me pleasure to play.  And that is exactly what I did.  Well, not every day.  Sometimes I let several days slip without practising because I am too busy.  When that happens I don't give up and say "That's it!  I have broken my promise to myself to practise every day so now I have failed!"; I just shrug my shoulders and try to find time to practise the following day.  And slowly but surely I have found I am starting to play familiar pieces of music that I actually enjoy hearing.  Not Chopin or Rachmaninov yet, but that will come.

What has all that got to do with regular meditation practice?  Everything!  Most people who try meditating, or most other practices in the personal development area for that matter, only try it a few times - or maybe even only once - find it hasn't made any difference, and then give up and say it doesn't work!  Just like the grown spoiled child who tries playing on a keyboard for the first time, finds what comes out is dissonant rather than harmonic, and says the instrument is no good and will never produce a lovely sound.

I strongly recommend you try putting aside a few minutes every day to meditate.  Don't worry too much about whether or not you know exactly how to do it - just do it anyway.  Yes, spend a little time researching on the net (or even in your library or local bookshop) to find out what different types of meditation are around, and which ones seem most comfortable to you.  But don't expect to become an expert in forms of meditation before you begin.  If you start out with that attitude you will never actually begin at all.  Just put the time aside and do it anyway.  Get into a regular habit.  Gradually, just as I noticed nice melodies and harmonies appearing as I struggled to learn the keyboard you will find the benefits of your regular meditation appearing too.  And just as I have started to study a little more seriously so I learn to play better, so you can study the techniques of meditation to improve what you are already doing and what is already benefiting you.

I will be posting further articles on meditation, and aids to meditation, from time to time.  You will even find some meditation aids amongst the products advertised through the various banners surrounding my blog - for example Isochiral Music, or Subliminal Messages.  By all means have a browse, and if something really appeals then go ahead and get it.  But don't wait for those further articles, and don't wait to see whether anything advertised here is really for you.  Start now, today, with even just a few minutes of relaxation and meditation.  Keep it up and I think you will be suprised at just how much of a difference it can make to your life.

Creative Visualization Techniques

Author: Kisha Scott

Everything you have in life, people, events or circumstances, you have attracted them by the virtue of the images you hold in your mind. This is known as visualization. Since childhood we have been building images in our minds either consciously or unconsciously. No matter what the images are whether things we want or those we don't won't they eventually come to us.

Our subconscious mind knows things in form of images. Ask any successful person and analyze the predominant images they constantly hold in their subconscious mind, you will find their life is an ultimate result of those images. Any thought which appears as images in our mind when held for long periods of time manifest in physical equivalent. Thus by means of creative visualization, we can begin to deliberately create the images of our goals and achieve them. This is the secret to success.

Studies have shown that successful athletes before appearing in an actual game first visualize themselves as winners and feel as if it has already happened. In this way, they train their mind to act exactly in accordance with the visualization. Aside from sports, this visualization exercise holds true in every area of your life from wealth to health to happiness, etc. Be honest and analyze the past mental pictures that you have been visualizing since childhood and you will find how those picture and your life match.

Creative Visualization technique

Find a quiet place, sit or lie down comfortably and close your eyes. Take few deep breaths in to settle your awareness. Imagine the fresh life force energy entering your lungs and spreading to every part of your body. Relax your whole body starting from toes to head and imagine it glowing with Divine white light. You may say yourself ‘Relax…relax…relax' silently. Now make a clear and vivid picture of any goal you want to achieve. It may be wealth, health or happiness in relationship. Imagine the end result of the goal as clear as possible. For example, you may want to travel around the world but you are hopeless because you thought of insufficient money or any other impossibility you acknowledged. During this visualization meditation, picture yourself traveling around the world, you may see yourself standing in front of Eiffel Tower, feeling the fresh breeze touching your skin, you are feeling alive, may be you are with your loved one or any close friend you care about. You see people around you moving, children playing on other side and your favorite music being heard from a neighbor house. Now feel this feeling of aliveness and fulfillment in your body, what color is it, size and shape.

It is recommended if you do this exercise 10 minutes before you go to bed and 10 minutes after getting up in the morning. This is all you have to do. Don't be hopeless if things don't work out. Persistence is the key. You will have to do this visualization until those images are successfully embedded in your subconscious mind. Remember to pick up one goal at a time. Universe won't understand if you mix up multiple goals. After several days of doing visualization, you will find your life in control of yourself and your ability to change circumstances.

Universal Life Secrets

Chris D’Cruz is a confident man. Why do I say that? Because on UniversalLifeSecrets.com he makes no qualms about offering you “god-like” powers which will enable you to create your own reality as you see fit.

I’m not kidding, that’s almost word-for-word what he says on his site.

He promises to show you secrets that will give you greater personal power, power that will give you, amongst other things, the ability to influence ANYONE to do your bidding. He even mentions somewhere about the “Jedi Mind Trick”, and for all you Star Wars fans out there, you’ll know how impressive the “Jedi Mind Trick” can be.

The problem here is that the “Jedi Mind Trick” is supposed to be fictional, but Chris D’Cruz promises that you’ll have that very ability once you learn the secrets he’ll reveal to you.

Now, I don’t know about you, but the thought of mastering such a powerful (albeit fictional) ability makes me wary of everything else he has to say. But as a self-help product reviewer I have to keep an open mind no matter what, and so I read everything else he had to say with regards to Universal Life Secrets.


Included in the package he is offering is something he calls a "Universal Sex Guide".  Personally, this was of no interest to me.  I found it rather embarrassing the male-centric way he refers to what should be a beautiful expression of love.  I am quite sure many readers of this blog will feel the same way.  If you are easily offended, just skip quickly past the bits referring to this.  But the "Universal Power Guide" which is also in the package is certainly well worth looking at.

Upon browsing the site you’ll find that his promises does seem a little exaggerated, and you almost feel as though he’s offering the entire universe for you to control. Who else in your entire life has made you the promise of “god-like” powers?

Yet, as you read on, you can’t help but be intrigued by the man’s confidence. You find his promises a little absurd in his exaggerations, but at the same time you wonder why he’s willing to back his promises with a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee. If it’s a scam why bother offering to give your money back?

These secrets are actually techniques on how a person can become greater than they already are by building on their personal strengths and achievements, and how one can become a commanding and authoritative figure that has the ability to influence practically anyone. It’s a must-have for anyone who has had self-esteem issues, or simply looking to be more confident in both their personal and professional lives.

Definitely worth looking at.

How To Turn Into A Successful Individual

Basic Methods On How To Turn Into A Successful Individual 
by Harry888

Sometimes in life, we all need a little improvement. We could be a little smarter, a little more spiritual, or even a little more honest. There are many attributes that we can adjust to make ourselves better people. The following article contains tips for anyone who wishes to do a little personal development and improve themselves.

To stay motivated use your emotions as tools. People avoid painful experiences and seek out experiences that are pleasurable. When trying to break a bad habit, associate bad feelings with it. Then replace that habit with a good habit that makes you experience joy. You will be more likely to continue the good habit and less likely to continue the bad one.

Have plenty of self confidence in yourself. Never doubt that you cannot do what you set out to do. Set realistic goals for yourself, things that are attainable and within your reach at the time being. This will ensure that you never feel self conscience and always have plenty of self confidence.

Knowing does not mean understanding. A knowledgable person can even seem overbearing and pompous. If you are going to take the time to seek knowledge, also take the time to learn knowledge. Anyone can spout facts and data from memory, however, taking the time to understand and research the depth of the subject creates wisdom.

Some people have trouble moving on and the easiest way to move on is to find out exactly what is holding you back. Is it a task? A person? The environment you're living in? Once you let go off that burden you will be able to move on with your life and began focusing on the more positive aspects of your life.

Having integrity and a clear conscience will keep your self-esteem up and self-esteem is pivotal to personal development! Do not cut corners, make excuses or give yourself other reasons to feel like you are not giving life your best effort. All of those little things will add up to a weight that will burden you with guilt and stop your success dead in its tracks, not to mention keeping you from getting a good night sleep.

Exercise regularly to build strength and endurance. When you have stamina, you have more energy to withstand the challenges of everyday life. This will boost your confidence, increase your mental clarity, and will help you keep going in any endeavors that you take on in self-improvement. Your overall health influences how you live.

When you are stressed out, exercise. This is one of the best remedies to relieve stress. Exercise releases adrenaline that stress produces. You will find that almost immediately you will feel better. Try to make exercise an enjoyable daily habit and not a chore, so you can get into the routine of it.

Keep a diary or journal. It will be very cathartic to be able to put what you are feeling down on paper. Keeping things locked up and having thoughts running through your head can really take a toll on you. Just letting it all out on paper will allow you to release those thoughts without having to involve someone else.

Use mistakes as growing points. Everyone is going to make mistakes from time to time, whether serious or very minor. Either way you go, you have to understand that these mistakes are sometimes inevitable, and the best thing you can do is learn and grow from these mistakes, using them to propel yourself forward instead of letting them hold you back in frustration and discouragement.

Personal development is not a measure of who you are but of what you can do. It is important to take pride in each of your goals, but it is equally important not to think of yourself as better or worse than others. Perhaps you will become a better swimmer than someone but that does not mean you are a better person.

A great personal development tip is to stay disciplined. It is not easy to improve yourself. It takes hard work and dedication to truly make a positive change in your life. It is extremely important that you realize this and keep yourself disciplined whenever any sort of temptations arise.

If you want to better yourself, you should strive to always be thankful for everything good you have in your life. Being thankful is the road to true happiness. Sometimes, it can be hard to think of things to be thankful for if you have had a hard life, but you can always be thankful for breathing, hoping, and loving.

When trying to tackle a long to-do list, one effective technique is to do the most difficult tasks first. That way, you get the hard stuff out of the way early in the day. That sets up a great mood of success for the rest of your day and you will feel free to tackle all the relatively easy things that are left. Remember, do the tough jobs first for maximum productivity.

Ensuring that the path we chose in life is the most optimal is often a matter of planning each step before we take it. The hints provided above help us do just that. Whether our goal is to improve our financial situation or to implement an exercise routine, these tips can help us accomplish it.

Treasure Map

Have you created your treasure map yet?

By “treasure map” I mean a sheet of paper with pictures on it representing all your goals, all the things you are aiming for in life, all the achievements which you will regard as a success when you get there.

Many people do not bother with a treasure map.  But remember, many people also never achieve the successes they wish for.  And I can assure you if you do it properly the treasure map really does work.

Why it works is really less important than the fact that it does work.  But for the sceptics among you let me just outline a couple of reasons.

Firstly, the mere act of creating the map crystallises your thinking.  Many people who first create a treasure map only realise as they are doing so what some of their objectives are.  And unless you know what you are aiming for how can you expect to get it?  Also, by putting those objectives on paper you have a chance to look at them carefully and decide do you really want to achieve them.  It is not unusual to find objectives which are out of synch with your own code of morality.  You had a vague idea that this is something you wanted, but when you see it in black and white you realise it is actually something you would not be very comfortable getting.  It is also not unusual to find you have put down two objectives which are completely contrary to each other.  Again, until you actually see them next to each other on your map it is not so obvious that you cannot have both.

Secondly, once you have a properly formed treasure map you have something to focus on to ensure your subconscious mind gets the message that this is what you want to achieve.  Once your subconscious mind really does get that message you can be sure it will be working behind the scenes constantly to ensure you obtain it.

Try to be quite specific.  Think carefully about what you want to achieve and why.  Saying “I am wealthy” is certainly not specific enough.  It would be better to say “I have £1,000,000 in my bank account”.  But personally I would not choose that as my goal even though I do aim to be wealthy.  It is specific, certainly, but it is not my real goal.  It is not the money itself I want, it is the things that money could do for me that I really want.  How I get them, provided it is honestly and ethically, is not really important.  So on my treasure map are the things I want, not the money that I may need in order to get them.

Ideally you should have pictures which tell the story properly.  If you want to live in a lovely little cottage surrounded by woodland, then find a photo of one that looks exactly how you would like your own little cottage to look.  Cut it out and stick it on your map.  Or draw it yourself.  It doesn’t really matter if you are not a brilliant artist.  Your subconscious will be quite forgiving about your lack of artistic skill.

Surround your treasure map with a border.  It may sound odd, but this is important.  It is setting limits.  Preventing a kind of sorcerer’s apprentice mishap where your subconscious keeps getting more and more of something until it is beyond a joke and you wish you had never put that on your map.

Don’t show that map to anyone else.  If you do, they will almost certainly ridicule you, and that will sap power away and make it far less likely you will achieve your dreams.  This is your secret treasure map that nobody but you even knows exists.  Study it daily, and visualise your life as it is with these dreams realised.  Note the use of the present tense here.  Not the future.  You must visualise your dreams as already realised.  And any writing on the map should reflect that.  Don’t write “I want a house by the sea” but rather “I live in a house by the sea”.  Don’t say “I want to speak fluent Italian”, but rather “I speak fluent Italian”.

As your life evolves, you will find you have already achieved some of the goals on your treasure map, no longer wish to achieve others, and have more goals that were not on the map.  So be ready to add to the map, and also sometimes to start afresh and make a new map.

Finally, a warning.  If you do this properly you will find you start to achieve the goals you put on your treasure map.  Make sure they are goals you really want to achieve.  Remember the old fairy tales where a genie granted a number of wishes, but then tricked the wisher by giving him or her exactly what was asked for, but which was not what the wisher really wanted.  There is a real point to those stories.  Be very certain of where you are aiming, what you want to achieve, as you will only have yourself to blame if you realise when you achieve it that it was not what you wanted at all!

Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better

This is a most powerful phrase left to us by the father of autosuggestion, Émile Coué.  Used properly, it really works.  Not just to heal disease, although there is much evidence that proper use of the phrase does just that, but also to help us achieve whatever it is we want to achieve.  You could even say it is the one phrase which draws together all the diverse strands of self-improvement philosophies.

I did say “used properly” though, so let us look at this phrase a little more carefully.

 

Every Day

Important words!  What this tells us is that any method of self-improvement we select has to be regular for it to work properly.

How many times have I heard people say this or that method doesn’t work?  And when asked, the complainer admits he or she only used it a few times and then gave up!

No matter what you may be trying to improve in yourself, and no matter what method you may be using to do so, you must keep going.  Almost certainly when you start you will encounter resistance.  Inner and outer resistance.  Your own subconscious mind will start voicing doubts.  Crush them.  You cannot afford to let them germinate.  Family and friends will tell you that it will not work, or that you are not strong enough to keep going.  Ignore them.  Keep practicing every day and you will achieve your goal.

 

In Every Way

Self-improvement is holistic.  It should not centre on one narrow aspect but should permeate your whole being, your whole life.  If it does, it will start to reflect back on itself, and that reflection will make the whole process more powerful and more effective.

Take a good look at whatever you are doing now to improve yourself.  Have you interpreted it too narrowly?  Can you extend it into other areas of your life in ways you had never considered before?

The more you can extend it into a complete system, touching all aspects of your being, the more effective you will find it.  And probably the more enjoyable and compelling you will find it will become.

 

I Am Getting

I have studied many systems of self-improvement, some of which are very obscure and little known.  In all my years of study I have never yet found one that provides instant results.  Why?  Because there is no system of instant self-improvement.

Every system requires sustained effort.  Put in that effort and you will find you start, gradually, getting results.  Not suddenly reaching the goal.  But slowly, step by step, getting closer to where you want to be.

 

Better & Better

Note the positive statement here.  This is vital.  Never focus on the weakness you are trying to remove, the problem you are trying to conquer.  If you do, then it is that weakness, that problem which will surface.  Always focus on the positive result you wish to achieve.

 

I Am Getting Better & Better

Having focused on it, visualise it and accept it into your life, knowing you have now achieved it.  How does that make you feel?  What can you do now, given you have achieved what you wanted?  Bask in that feeling.  And at the same time express thanks to the Universe (or God, or whatever you call “It”, “Her” or “Him”) for granting your this gift.

That is a really key part of the phrase Coué left us.  He did not tell us to say “I will get better and better”, but “I am getting better and better”.

Our subconscious mind is like a computer.  Powerful but stupid.  Able to calculate perfectly and make amazing things happen around it, but believing everything it is told, no matter how silly it might sound.  By telling it you have already achieved this you will make it believe you, and it will then act to draw to you all that pertains to this state you have told it you have achieved.

I hope you have found this little article helpful.  Whatever path you are pursuing, try putting what I have said here into effect and I know you will find you can achieve so much more.  And let me know how it goes for you by commenting back here in this blog.
