Success Secrets: Success is a state of mind

Success Secrets are fervently searched for. People often search outside themselves. The truth is that success is a state of mind. Faith is a state of mind. The Law of Attraction tunes into that state of mind. Part of the success secret is to learn that sometimes our state of mind gets soured for a while, and that acceptance is a powerful key.

Today I was feeling wonderful. Then I had an unpleasant interaction with my sister. Within minutes my day went south. Success Secrets indicate that the Law of Attraction would attract circumstances that would mirror my state of being. It did.

My daughter reminded me of the exercise, given these conditions, what can I be happy about? We recited lots of things that we were grateful for as we drove into town. I got my vibration up a little more. Then I had a disappointment, and my vibration went down a lot. Law of Attraction provided me more circumstances to fit my lowered vibration.

When we don’t feel happy, it is hard to hold optimism and attract success. Success secrets are not easy to follow when we are on the bottom end of the emotional scale. Acceptance is a powerful way to turn the tide.

It is so easy when circumstances are not favorable, to lower our vibration or state of mind. This happens especially with people with whom we have a deep connection. There was too strong a gap between my feelings and the gratitude I was reaching for to counter the dive I made into being upset. Part of the success secret so ably put by the work of Esther Hicks and Abraham, is to simply accept where you are.

“So things went south. So I don’t like what happened today. It’s not the end of the world. I am doing pretty good. I am not forgetting what I have learned. I am having a little detour into a tide pool. It’s OK. I know from experience that I will recover and very soon. So for today, I accept that I don’t feel so great and it’s OK. In fact, feeling irritated and cranky is a far better place emotionally than being depressed or in despair. In fact, my irritation serves me well, because it stopped the slide downward.”

This kind of dialogue with self shows the practice of acceptance, an important success secret. “I accept myself. I accept my feelings. Everything will turn out OK.”

My body takes a deep breath. I relax. “That’s right, everything will be OK.” Acceptance is a powerful success secret. Today I accept where I am. Tomorrow, I will be renewed. Acceptance that self does not have to be perfect is an important success secret.

Thanks for stopping by. May acceptance accompany your journey. May success secrets be revealed to you continually.

“When You Forget”

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Forgetting and Remembering
When You Forget: A Remember Plan

Remembering Who You Are can sometimes be affected by circumstances, people whom you are keeping company, and life events. It is a natural cycle to remember and forget the larger aspect of self.

I experience consciousness as a spectrum that enlarges and contracts. This expansion and contraction can be affected by life events. When you move, start a new job, get seriously ill, receive the dream job of a lifetime, you shift gears inside. When we contract we forget whole sections of self. When we remember we expand to include much more of self.

We each have a place of habit where we customarily reside a “set point.” It might be our habitual state of consciousness. We have a state that we contract to when we experience stress or fall into limited or survival thinking. We also have a more expansive place where we can see more clearly, hear our inner wisdom, and exult in being alive. That place can be accessed by doing such things as prayer, meditation, contemplation, breath work for example. In that place we thrive.

        “Remembering and Forgetting.
        That is the game we play.
        We jump so far that we forget who we really are.”

Having a spiritual practice of daily meditation or prayer is one way to help oneself remember on an ongoing way to reach to access the more expansive self.

When we forget, the trouble often is that we forget that we even have access to a more expansive self. We forget to meditate, we forget to pray. We shrink to the circumstances through which we are navigating. We forget about being optimistic. We forget about having gratitude. We forget about our dreams. We forget about our joy. We may remember about the Law of Attraction, but only think of it as a way to explain how we are responsible for making ourselves miserable.

It is a guarantee that we will forget. So what? We will remember again. The small still voice is there always waiting and tickling the extremities of our awareness.

You can help yourself to remember by putting a remember plan in place for the Forgetting Zone.

One such remember plan might be to set up a folder on your desktop called “When I forget.” Place in it articles, quotes, pictures, links that will help you remember.

We expand and contract on a scale. The emotional scale that Abraham lists is very powerful. It is one of my methods of remembering. When I get angry after being very depressed, it is a good thing, because I am having movement. I am expanding. I am moving up the emotional scale. I am remembering.

      The Abraham-Hicks Emotional Scale:

      • Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation
      • Passion
      • Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness
      • Positive Expectation/Belief
      • Optimism
      • Hopefulness
      • Contentment
      • Boredom
      • Pessimism
      • Frustration/Irritation/Impatience
      • Overwhelment
      • Disappointment
      • Doubt
      • Worry
      • Blame
      • Discouragement
      • Anger
      • Revenge
      • Hatred/Rage
      • Jealousy
      • Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness
      • Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness

This scale is from Ask and It Is Given, By Abraham-Hicks. You can find it on page 119 and 297. For more info click here.

Survival and Contracting

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Survival and Contracting

Survival throws us into a state of contraction. When you are worried about whether you can have a roof over your head and food to eat, the body tenses, the mind worries, and our emotions run riots of fear. If your body gets scared because someone else’s driving puts you in physical danger, your body goes contracted. Energy condenses and you pull inward when you are in survival. Muscles go tight. Thinking gets rigid. Feelings wrap us in strangulation. Everything contracts in survival. This is existing in survival consciousness.

No matter how much you may want to feel positive and optimistic, when your body, mind and feelings are in survival and contracting, it is very difficult to reach for positive thoughts. It is helpful to know about this state of survival, because if you can recognize it, then you do some things to help yourself move.

The first step is Recognition. “Oh. This is a survival state. My body mind and feelings are doing what they do when they are in survival.” This may be fight, or flight or paralysis. If your natural instincts are to fight when you are in survival, you can move easier. When you have anger there is more movement than when you have fear. Anger is actually movement up the emotional scale away from depression, worry and despair. Inventory what your body, mind and feelings do when they get scared so you will know and recognize when you have tipped into survival.

Acceptance is the second step. “Of course my body would tense up, and I would worry if I don’t have enough money for gas to get to work.” “Of course I get scared and angry if someone tailgates me closely. Of course I get scared or angry when I am in survival.”

Reassurance and comfort can be an essential third action step. “I’m OK. Things usually work out. I’m an adult and I can be creative and figure out something here. I can pray. I can ask for help. I can talk to another person. There is always some resource available to me.”

“I can breathe. I can relax. I can soothe my body, mind, and feelings. That part of me feels really small, and reacts in tension, but there is more to me than a scared part, or a child like part. I don’t have to have all the answers now. All I need to do is become aware that I am in contraction. I am in survival. Once I recognize that, I can begin to accept where I am and relax. As I reassure myself and remember that I have gotten out of these places before, my body relaxes, my mind lets go, and my feelings unwind. Then I am available to take even more action steps because I am moving out of contraction. The way becomes easier when I move out of survival awareness, and I can access more of myself.”

This kind of self talk gives your body mind and emotions reassurance. It is a helpful way to move out of survival thinking, feeling and acting.

The Secret Key to Law of Success # 11 Control Your Attention

The Secret Key to Law of Success # 11 Control Your Attention


Control your attention.
Your subconscious mind needs a clear picture on which to act. Control your attention because what you focus on increases. Focus on your enterprise. Imagine it in its full-blown scope. By your single-pointedness, you communicate to the universe that you are expecting success, and one way it might look. Control your attention is the secret key to law of success.

When you control your attention, you can choose what you focus upon. When you are in touch with your vision and dream of the future, it is easy to control your attention. Single-pointedness is a tool in the secret key to law of success. When you are disconnected from your dream or vision of the future, it is not as easy to control your attention. You cannot control your attention by telling yourself to not focus on something that is bothering you.

You can’t tell your mind not to focus on envy, worry, doubt, jealousy. You will just keep seeing more of the same. What you can do to control your attention is to focus on something else. By focusing on what you want, in clear detail, you give your mind a direction. Help control your attention by asking the question, ‘what is it I want in this situation? This technique is part of the secret key to law of success.

Many people react to what they experience. To control your attention, you need not focus on the “what is”. Gently turn your attention to what you want – “What is to be.” It is hard to jump from depression, fear, discouragement to fleshing out your dream of what you want “to be”. So you control your attention by taking small steps – each small step is part of the secret key to operating the law of success.

If your fear is driving your bus, control your attention by saying “well of course part of me is afraid. There is more to me than my fear, worry, and discouragement.” As you soothe the part of you that has taken charge of your thinking, you help yourself remember other aspects of self and you are gently beginning to control your attention. Remind yourself of the secret key of law of success by saying “That part of me has been listening to the news and has gotten worried. That is not all the news however. There are people who are happy and prosperous, and doing quite well no matter what the times. I intend to join that group of people.”

“It is the universe’s pleasure to bring well-being and prosperity into my life. I will pull out my focus book and remember the thoughts and ideas that bring me joy and pleasure. As I turn my focus, I am operating the secret key to the law of success.”

When a lot of people think the same sort of thoughts, it sets up a magnetic charge. If you think thoughts that have a similar pattern to those thought by this mass of people, you can easily join in the “group think” and find yourself in a funk. Control your attention by aligning your thoughts with well being and plenty which is part of the secret key to the law of success.

To control your attention, you may want to find a spiritual discipline that helps you routinely tune into the infinite. That is why prayer, meditation, and imagery are so successful. Purposeful tuning of your mind and thoughts to something greater that is expansive is a powerful way to control your attention one of the secret keys to operating with the law of success.

Vibration, the Law of Attraction and the Law of Success

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Vibration, the Law of Success and the Law of Attraction are powerful principles described by Napoleon Hill. In the last two posts we have looked at the Subconscious mind and Faith. Napoleon Hill believes that the subconscious mind provides a link with Infinite Intelligence and all other minds (Law of Attraction). But to see how the subconscious mind communicates with the Infinite Intelligence is important. Here is how Napoleon describes the dynamic behind the Law of Success which is also known as the Law of Attraction.

“Comes now a very significant statement of truth:

THOUGHTS WHICH ARE MIXED WITH ANY OF THE FEELINGS OF EMOTIONS, CONSTITUTE A ‘MAGNETIC’ FORCE WHICH ATTRACTS, FROM THE VIBRATIONS OF THE ETHER, OTHER SIMILAR, OR RELATED THOUGHTS. A thought thus “magnetized” with emotion may be compared to a seed which, when planted in fertile soil, germinates, grows, and multiplies itself over and over again, until that which was originally one small seed, becomes countless millions of seeds of the SAME BRAND!” (p.72) (Law of Attraction)

This description by Hill of the law of attraction which is essential to the Law of Success was written in the late 1930’s and edited out of many editions of Think and Grow Rich. Editors did not believe that the mass public would want to hear about vibrations and ether. These same principles were edited out of The Secret. Law of Attraction and Law of Success are based upon the same principles.

“The ether is a great cosmic mass of eternal forces of vibration. It is made up of both destructive vibrations and constructive vibrations. It carries at all times, vibrations of fear, poverty, disease, failure, misery; and vibrations of prosperity, health, success, and happiness, just as surely as it carries the sound of hundreds of orchestrations of music, and hundreds of human voices, all of which maintain their own individuality, and means of identification through the medium of radio.” (Law of attraction)

“From the great storehouse of the ether, the human mind is constantly attracting vibrations which harmonize with that which DOMINATES the human mind. Any thought, idea, plan, or purpose which one holds in one’s mind attracts, from the vibrations of the ether, a host of its relatives, adds these ‘relatives’ to its own force, and grows until it becomes the dominating, MOTIVATING MASTER of the individual in whose mind it has been housed.” (Law of Success)

Essentially Napoleon Hill is saying the same as the Law of Attraction. Like attracts like. If you hold prosperous thoughts, you will attract prosperity. If you hold scarcity thoughts as your dominant vibration, you attract scarcity. Law of Success is built around this magnetic principle. Positive thinking is not the purpose of the Law of Success. Holding positive thoughts are the necessity to attract more positive results – which is the main theorem in Law of Attraction.

In the chapter on the Subconscious Mind, Napoleon Hill once more speaks of how the Law of Attraction and the Law of Success works. He says:

“less than a hundred years ago, men believed the space between the planets to be nothing but a great void, a stretch of dead nothingness. Now thanks to this same power of FAITH, men know that far from being either dead or a void, the space between the planets is very much alive, that it is the highest form of vibration known, excepting, perhaps the vibrations of THOUGHT. Moreover, men know that this living, pulsating, vibratory energy which permeates every atom of
matter, and fills every niche of space, connects every human brain with every other human brain.” (Law of Attraction)

Hill is saying the same thing Wattles says in the Science of Getting Rich. The Law of Attraction and Law of Success are based on vibration and an intelligent universe. Both men outline the principles as they understood them in the 20’s and 30’s.

All matter is energy (Einstein). All matter is vibration. Source is in every particle. Source is Intelligent. Source hears our prayers and our thoughts. Vibration is drawn to like vibration. The reason Law of Success and Law of Attraction works, is that Source is connected to all. Source sends back ideas, and intuitions. Source can arrange coincidences and serendipity for people to meet or have like mind.

Listen to more of Hill’s description of the Law of Attraction and the Law of Success.

“What reason have men to believe that this same energy does not connect every human brain with Infinite Intelligence?” (Law of Success, Law of Attraction)

“There are no toll-gates between the finite mind of man and Infinite Intelligence. The communication costs nothing except Patience, Faith, Persistence, Understanding, and a SINCERE DESIRE to communicate…..” (Law of Success, Law of Attraction)

“The method by which you may communicate with Infinite Intelligence is very similar to that through which the vibration of sound is communicated by radio. If you understand the working principle of radio, you of course, know that sound cannot be communicated through the ether until it has been “stepped up,” or changed into a rate of vibration which the human ear cannot detect. The radio sending station picks up the sound of the human voice, and “scrambles,” or modifies it by stepping up the vibration millions of times. Only in this way, can the vibration of sound be communicated through the ether. After this transformation has taken place, the ether “picks up” the energy (which originally was in the form of vibrations or sound), carries that energy to radio receiving stations and these receiving sets “step” that energy back down to its original rate of vibration so it is recognized as sound.” (Law of Success, Law of Attraction)

The Law of Attraction and Law of Success are based on vibration. In Hill’s model, the subconscious is our “Radio station.” What is being broadcast out of the subconscious is very important. Old beliefs and repetitive thinking go into the subconscious. Some strategies will be talked about in future posts (EFT or Tapping). Where we put our attention is what we draw to us. This is a fundamental principal of Law of Attraction and Law of Success. If we focus on how little money we have then we attract more lack of money. This is a crucial factor in Law of Attraction and Law of Success. This understanding of the Law of Attraction and the Law of Success is extraordinarily important right now. Today. When everywhere we look and hear messages about the economy we are influenced by other’s thoughts and perceptions. If our focus is on “what is” – the slow down, the recession - then it is a guarantee that more of the same will happen. The Law of Attraction guarantees that if the national public focuses on a depression, it will happen.

As we are all influenced greatly by what is being said around us, it is paramount to understand this principle of the Law of Attraction and the Law of Success. What to do? Read the section under strategies. Practice imagining having what you do want, and what it will be like when it arrives. The Law of Attraction listens to the Subconscious. If you are imagining – and that is the only way to get those thoughts into the Subconscious – what you desire, then you are vibrating differently than when you are focused on lack. The Law of Success places much emphasis on optimism – which is a vibratory frequency more in alignment with Success.

But let’s go back to Napoleon Hill who wrote Think and Grow Rich as a direct answer for people who were coming out of the Great Depression. He took great pains to delineate the Law of Success and Law of Attraction to help that generation who were lost in fear.

“The subconscious mind is the intermediary, which translates one’s prayers into terms which infinite Intelligence can recognize, presents the message, and brings back the answer in the form of a definite plan or idea for procuring the object of prayer. ….Before your prayer will reach Infinite Intelligence,…it probably is transformed from its original thought vibration into terms of spiritual vibration. Faith is the only known agency which will give your thoughts a spiritual nature.” (Law of Success, Law of Attraction)

To summarize the past few posts to more fully understand the Law of Success and the Law of Attraction:

    The subconscious is our connecting Link with Infinite Intelligence.
    The subconscious mind is fed by habit.
    You can conscious“feed” the subconscious with thoughts mixed with
    Faith, Burning Desire, Powerful emotions, Imagination.
    These ideas can be submitted to the subconscious only through Imagination.
    Prayers are this kind of “conscious feeding”
    The state you are in when you pray determines the result.
    Pray with Faith and Expectancy. (Ask and it is Given)
    Imagine that you already in possession of that which you desire.
    Thoughts and Images are things.
    The Universe arranges itself around you based on your vibration.
    If you vibrate scarcity and poverty – you get more of it.
    If you vibrate abundance and plenty – you get more of it.
    What you focus upon is what you attract to yourself magnetically.
    Every particle of the Universe is intelligent.
    Einstein says the most important question there is:
    Is the Universe friendly or not?

You get to pick. What kind of life do you want to have? I focused on poverty and lack most of my life. I decided that I had had enough. The Universe definitely provided me what I had been focusing on and the stories I had been telling myself and others. I much prefer feeding myself images created in the 17 second process – a strategy from the Law of Attraction and the Law of Success.

The Law of Success and the Law of Attraction want you to have what you want. The Universe will provide it to you as you imagine it to be. You get to apply a little will power and choice to what you think about. The Universe is waiting for you to apply the Law of Success and the Law of Attraction in whatever way you wish.

Tomorrow we will talk about states of being and how they affect our vibration. The vibration that we are emitting governs the effect we receive from the Law of Attraction and the Law of Success.
