I’ve just started in a commission-only sales role and was looking for some inspired thoughts to kick-start a positive forward momentum.

Here are two relevant excerpts I found from the book, Money and the Law of Attraction, by Esther & Jerry Hicks.

Excerpt 1 – Your Story, and the Law of Attraction

“Each and every component that makes up your life experience is drawn to you by the powerful Law of Attraction’s response to the thoughts you think and the story you tell about your life. Your money and financial assets; your body’s state of wellness, clarity, flexibility, size, and shape; your work environment, how you are treated, work satisfaction, and rewards—indeed, the very happiness of your life experience in general—is all happening because of the story that you tell. If you will let your dominant intention be to revise and improve the content of the story you tell every day of your life, it is our absolute promise to you that your life will become that ever-improving story. For by the powerful Law of Attraction, it must be!”

Excerpt 2 – The Consistency of the Law of Attraction

“When you feel overwhelmed, circumstances and people who could help you get out from under your feeling of overwhelment cannot find you, nor can you find them. Even when you try hard to find them, you cannot. And those people who do come do not help you, but, instead, they add to your feeling of overwhelment.

When you feel mistreated—fairness cannot find you. Your perception of your mistreatment, and the subsequent vibration that you offer because of your perception, prevents anything that you would consider to be fair from coming to you.

When you are buried in the disappointment or fear of not having the financial resources that you believe you need, the dollars—or the opportunities that would bring the dollars—continue to elude you . . . not because you are bad or unworthy, but because the Law of Attraction matches things that are like, not things that are unlike.

When you feel poor—only things that feel like poverty can come to you. When you feel prosperous—only things that feel like prosperity can come to you. This Law is consistent; and if you will pay attention, it will teach you, through life experience, how it works. When you remember that you get the essence of what you think about—and then you notice what you are getting—you have the keys for Deliberate Creation.”

What makes your heart beat with joy? What makes you feel excited about life?

Anything that makes your heart sing, anything that ignites excitement within you; anything that you just want to jump in and do -- is your passion speaking!

Passion is easy to recognise once you know the signs.  And the signs are always ones that make you feel good, that make you exhilarated about life.

Passion is your inner voice -- your private muse speaking to you and leading you forward on a path that is uniquely your own.

Do not follow others’ ideas of what you should do or what constitutes ‘success”. You are unique. You must develop your own ‘success formula’.

This involves some trial and error as you learn to listen to your inner voice and trust it’s pull.

Many will tell you that  people who are rich and famous are a success and that that is the path you should mimic.  But your success will be different to others’.

Your success may well include fame, fortune. But it may also include vibrant good health, mutually rewarding relationships and friendships, emotional freedom, mental freedom (being aware of the beliefs that serve or hinder you) -- to mention less commonly discussed criteria of success.

Trust your insights. Trust your gut instinct. Trust that your talents, capabilities and passion are there for a reason.

See the short video below on the topic of ‘trusting your passion’  -- from John Kehoe.

There are thousands of ways of looking at and aspiring towards success. Too many involve a lot of hard work, struggle and sweat.  They are variations of the familiar adage “It takes 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration to succeed”.

In recent times we are hearing about more elegant and enjoyable ways of achieving our heart’s desires.  Some of this material has been available for years but was not part of mainstream awareness. It was too far removed from popular culture and thinking. 

Some of it was expressed in old fashioned language and so lost it’s potential to positively impact.  Some material just never had the benefit of modern marketing and the reach of the Internet to get the word out.

Over the next few posts I’ll include excerpts from materials that speak of the amazing power of the mind to create whatever we desire. 

With repetition and hearing it in many different ways, the message begins to sink in and is accepted by default.  New neuronal links are woven in the brain.  What once might have sounded ‘weird’ in time comes to sound very familiar.  And that is the time when we are more likely to appreciate the message and wisdom of what we have heard or read - regarding our innate power and ability to design and direct our own destiny.

The only comment I’ll add is that directing the mind towards a goal or outcome is not meant to be tortuous or hard work.  It’s not about fixating on a goal and then trying to force it into being via our attention to it.  On the contrary.  There are many ways of ‘holding a vision’ of what you want that allow the process to be easy and light hearted.

This includes imagining, pretending, visualising, playing make-believe for a few minutes at a time when the thought occurs to you.  Underpinning this is your attitude or state of mind. Ideally one that is hopeful, expectant, optimistic. Not one that is pushy, demanding, or in a state of neediness or desperation. The latter is a trap for unsuspecting new-comers to the subject.

Here’s the first extract in the series from a work written by Christian D. Larson, The Mind Philosophy – edited and paraphrased in parts.

To use the power of the mind, the first essential is to direct mental action toward a goal. This direction must not be occasional, but constant. Most minds, however, do not apply this law. They think about something one moment and then about something else the next moment. Their mind is mostly scattered and easily distracted.

We know, however, that individuals who are actually working themselves steadily toward a goal they have in view, invariably direct all the power of their thought upon that goal.

In their mind, not a single mental action is thrown away or wasted. They take the time to become clear about what they want and continue to refine that clarity.  They direct their focus and attention towards the goal they wish to accomplish on a daily basis. They don’t think of one thing today and something else the next day.

I’ve had an interest in the Internet for a number of years and enjoy hearing different Internet Marketing gurus talking about how to achieve success online.  Whilst they talk of many factors, few talk about the power of passion and doing the things you enjoy and are naturally good at.

It’s interesting, because passion is a vital key to unlocking the amazing power of your mind!

The first online marketer/ guru I heard speak about the vital importance of finding your passion and expressing that passion in your work or business, was Rich Schefren.  I found this blog post from March 2006:

“I’m going to let you in on a little secret… it’s a lot easier to make money when you’re passionate about what you do” ….”When you find ways to love what you’re doing, your success will come naturally. You’ll have a positive attitude, which helps you accomplish more in life. People who get bogged down being negative find it hard to move forward because they’re concentrating on the present moment… or even the past.”
Read more here:

I recently heard this idea (the power of passion) affirmed by two other online business owners, Andy Jenkins and Joe Mercola .

In an enthusiastic presentation Andy said, “I have the best job in the world!”

On a tele-seminar, Joe commented, “You must be wildly passionate and excited about what you do!  If you aren’t – then you must seriously question the product you’re involved with!”  … “Less than 5% of people are doing what they love!” ….”It is crucial to identify what you are really passionate about and structure your life around that.”

For me these comments are examples of the amazing power of the mind to shape and transform our life.

There is more I will comment on in another post…… ideas like the power of the mind to dream and vision. And the relationship between imagination, desire and expectation.
