“Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your actions. Keep your actions positive because your actions become your habits. Keep your habits positive because habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.”

~~~ Gandhi

On Monday, we started to discuss a couple of factors pertaining to “The Secret” and the Law of Attraction that many people didn’t quite understand. Again, to repeat, the concept introduced in the movie, “The Secret”, is powerful!

But we are already hearing people say, “This Secret thing doesn’t work for me!”

In my own experiences with the Law of Attraction, I’ve learned that there are a couple of steps that people are leaving out of the process — and that may have been understated in the movie itself. Those steps are — that in addition to putting your intention out to the universe — in addition to letting the universe know of your desire — in addition to focusing on what you want to manifest into your life — you will also need to pay attention to what the universe is telling you to do — what actions you need to take — and furthermore, to be certain that those actions have real value — not only for yourself, but also for the benefit of others.

Do this, and “The Secret” will work for you.

As I said on Monday, the universe will give you back whatever you put out there. Good intentions, followed by good actions that have value and are of benefit to others will give you back all of that — and more. Like attracts like.

One of the aspects of my life in the years past, is that I never truly believed in my own heart that I had the “right stuff” to be successful in this world. I grew up on the streets of Detroit. I was a homeless street kid from the age of eight years old until I went into the Navy when I was 17. Sure, I learned how to survive on the streets — I was as tough as leather — but any concept of wealth or success was beyond my wildest dreams. I was dirt poor and that’s what I understood. In the years following that, even though I was a success in my chosen field of banking, my relationships with others were never fulfilling. On a personal level I was floundering — I felt like a loser.

Back in those days I didn’t have the knowledge or the skills to know how to offer value to others. I knew how to take care of myself, but I grew up with the philosophy of “every man for himself”. I can’t tell you how often during those years that I put intentions out to the universe. (Of course, I didn’t know I was doing that — not then.) How often I wished, dreamed, and hoped for prosperity, respect, happiness — and like everyone else on this planet — the desire to be truly loved.

But, that’s all I did — I wished, dreamed, hoped and desired — just like the DVD, “The Secret,” suggests — and not much happened. I didn’t know it then, but I needed to do more than just wish, dream, hope and desire. I wanted magic to happen. What I didn’t know was that I needed to do some work to make it happen.

When you ask someone who has seen the movie about The Secret, “How does it work?”, most people will say that what you place your intention on — your focus on — will manifest. That’s right, that’s the first principle of The Secret.

(This is getting long — so bear with me for just a little longer.)

If you’ve experienced the process of really wanting something — and you do put your entire focus on that “something” — you may have noticed some things happening. If you’re paying attention, you’ll begin to notice certain signals or clues coming into your life. I’ve learned that you don’t need to worry about “How” to take action — the “Hows” will make themselves known to you. That’s where some of the magic happens. When your mind is focusing on what you want to create in your life, the universe is receiving that as an instruction and will begin to show you “How” to make it happen. You need to be watching for these clues. You’ll notice ideas popping into your head. You’ll get an email message showing you a cool new way to achieve a goal of yours. You’ll read something in the paper — or you’ll see an ad for a tool you need. These are all just ideas — but they are subtle clues about actions you need to take.

A quick, but simple example — then I’ll close for today. If I’m sitting here at the computer and I would like to “attract” a nice cup of green tea, what happens? If I focus on that, what happens? There’s no teapot in my office, so my mind gets the idea that I need to get up and go to the kitchen and heat some water. If I don’t do that, I don’t get the cup of tea, right? That’s a pretty simple example, but I think you’ll see how the first principle, focusing on your intention, relates to the second principle, taking action.

Next time we’ll pick this up and look at some more about the principles of “The Secret.”

(These are the same quotes I used on Monday, but they still apply so well I’m going to leave them. Hope that’s okay with you.)

“Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.”

~~~ Andrew Jackson – Quoting Napoleon Bonaparte

“Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.”

~~~ Jules Renard

You are the most precious gift you can give yourself. Every day look in the mirror and say, “I’m available to more good than I have experienced, realized or imagined ever before in my life!” Do this every day while you look into your own eyes.

You are special — and you are loved. You are the greatest gift you can be.

Shanti … (A sanscrit word meaning, “Let there be Peace. Peace, beautiful Peace. Peace within, Peace without. Peace in this world. Peace for all beings.”)
