‘The Secret’ reveals that the key to creating your life is your feelings and thoughts.

Many are focusing on the opposite of what they want.

In addition, our words and actions can take us away from our desires, instead of closer to them.

Let’s consider finances, for example. Give yourself a moment to consider how you think and act with regards to money.

Do any of these statements ring true?

You complain about not having enough money.
You see something you like, but you tell yourself or others you can’t afford it.
You wish you could get out of debt.
You believe “money goes to money.”
You think rich people are snobs.
You live week to week, hoping to survive to pay day.
You are resentful of those who have more money than you.
You believe money is the root of all evil.
You believe money is not spiritual.
You believe you can’t be wealthy and spiritual.

If any, or all, of these apply to you, then your mindset and related emotions have to change if you want financial freedom. You are currently focusing on your lack of money, and as we know, whatever you focus on expands. The universal Law of Attraction does not determine whether something is good or bad for you. It simply delivers your dominant thoughts and emotions.

When you push against something, you are focusing on what you don’t want, so the universe will deliver exactly what you don’t want. This is magnified further if you do so with feeling and strong emotions.

The universe does not know the difference between wanting and not wanting.

The universe does not know the difference between what you like and what you don’t like.

The universe does not know the difference between what you desire and what you hate.

The universe does not know the difference between what makes you feel good or what makes you feel bad.

The universe DOES know what you are giving your attention to and the emotion that it generates.

For example, how do you react when you see someone drive past in a brand new Ferrari?
What about when you see a rich and successful person, or see pictures of someone living in a huge mansion?
If you hear of somebody suddenly inheriting a lot of money, are you pleased for them, or jealous of them?

In any of these scenarios, do you feel positive or negative?

If you view these situations with resentment and jealousy and curse your poor luck, you are sending out a strong negative vibration.
This vibration is in tune with your feelings of lack of money and your dislike of those who do have money. In return, you will attract an exact match of that vibration … continued lack of money.

How can anyone possibly expect financial freedom, if they have such a negative view of those who have already achieved it?

Negative thoughts and emotions produce negative results.
Positive thoughts and emotions produce positive results.

So how can we turn these negative thoughts to positive ones?

The first step is to write down everything that you don’t want.
Do this for any area of your life you want to improve, not just financial. You can include your health, relationships, career … anything.

Now the really fun part. When complete, take each item on your list and think of the exact polar opposite of what you have written. Write it in the present tense as though it has already occurred and write how grateful you are for it.

Start every sentence with; I am so happy and grateful now that …………….

Here are some examples to help you.

I don’t want to be in debt
becomes
I am so happy and grateful now that I have financial freedom as money comes to me easily and frequently.

I don’t want to be overweight
becomes
I am so happy and grateful now that I am fit and in perfect health.

I don’t like my job
becomes
I am so happy and grateful now that I am following a career which I love and enjoy.

These are very basic, and, when you understand the principle behind, then you are on your way.
Use this process to produce your “Order Form to The Universe”. Do not limit yourself. That sends out the wrong signal. Remember this is a Universe of abundance.

Also be as specific as you can. Saying, “I want a new house” doesn’t give the Universe much to go on …. you might end up in a “new” bedsit in the wrong end of town!

Tell the Universe you would like a 6 bedroom mansion, on the coast, with swimming pool, double garage, large patio, cream walls, etc etc. The more details you give, the better.

Now what you must do is continue to focus and visualise what you have “ordered” and do so with feeling.

If you have asked for a brand new sports car, visualise yourself driving it on a hot summer’s day. Imagine yourself turning the steering wheel as you drive along a country road. What can you hear, see and smell? Make the experience as real as you can in your mind’s eye. Think of how you really feel.
If you have asked for a new home, picture yourself living in it.
Where is it located? What furniture do you have? What is the view from the window? Literally create your home in your mind. How does it feel to be living in your dream home?

This is very powerful, because sub-consciously your mind cannot determine reality from fiction. So as your mind sends out your thoughts, the more real you can make them, the clearer the Universe sees them.

Continue this process for everything you want to create in your life. Have fun with it. Marvel at your creative powers when your thoughts become your reality.

“See the things you want as already yours. Know that they will come to you at need. Then let them come. Don’t fret and worry about them. Don’t think about your lack of them. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession”

Robert Collier (1885-1950)
