I have worked as a registred nurse for the last 16 years. During that time I had quite a bit of exposure to students of the Law of Attraction. I became a student as well after one of my patients gave me the book, "The Secret". Since becoming immersed in the Law of Attraction and other principles, I have noticed there are basically three types of people.

First, the majority of us, are the persons who are affected by the Law but have no actual knowledge of it. They live their lives, dare I say it, in default. Not realizing they manifest more of what they are thinking and feeling. They simply excuse their circumstances as 'fate' or 'luck' and go through life without knowing they could be more in control.

Second, are the Students of the principles of the Law of Attraction. They are forever learning, many become teachers. Athough these beautiful people know maybe more than most about the Law, I see them in financial distress or unhealthy or in bad relationships. The fact is: They are simply students, no more.

Last, there are those who are students of the Law of Attraction who actually put what they have learned to practical, everyday use. You can spot these people easily in a crowd. They are, somehow, self-confident. They don't have to be the loudest or the best dressed. They don't need the spotlight to shine out because their wholesomeness and inner beauty are like a beacon. They are not lacking for money or better health and their relationships are secure.
I was very blessed by being able to spend a couple hours with Andy Andrews (The Traveller's Gift) and his boys on the lazy river at the Altantis Resort a few weeks ago. We made it a game of spotting the three different "types" of people we came across. He showed me how to tell the difference and now I can't stop myself from doing the same at the mall or the coffee shop or wherever I go.

Last evening, I was at a friend's house and caught a look at myself in the mirror. I was standing with a group of people and it was then I realized I was looking at myself and playing the same game I had with Andy (I say "Andy" like we are best friends or something lol). Only this time, I was categorizing myself! I am very proud to say, "I passed"! I wouldn't have a year ago though. I was a student of the Law of Attraction, nothing more. Since last February, I have joined a team of like-minded individuals who work with a Company that is a leader in the Personal Development Industry. Since then, I have made it my daily routine to spend an hour every morning studying Personal Development and then a few hours sharing this business with othrs. My life is so much more than I had ever dreamed it could be. Now I have excellent health, a terrific relationship and A wonderful sense of being! This is all due to the incredible income I make with my business working with the Law of Attraction. I am, every minute, Grateful for the chance I took to move beyond student and actually harmonize with the Universe and the Law of Attraction.

It does work. I am living proof. I will show you the way.

To further assist you with your goals, it is important to involve all of your senses. By this I mean the more ways you can experience your goals as already being achieved, the more likely you are to reach them. Here are a few tips I have found to be very helpful:

Great! Now, to better assist you in reaching your goal, cut out and paste some pictures of what your horse will look like. Pictures of you riding her through the pasture. Pictures of you feeding her oats, brushing her, putting the bridle on her, etc. You can find pictures of these events on line. Simply download them and print them off. If you can draw, draw them. The point is to have a visual representation of your goals. This vision board, or whatever you would like to call it, should then be placed so you can see it many times during the day. You may create more than one. Have one at your desk and one in your office at home. Or on the refrigerator. The point is, you want to visit this often. The last thing, before your retire for bed at night, review your goals.

The last method I have found to be greatly helpful with attaining my goals is to record your voice and listen to it as you drift off to sleep at night. Review your goals, as if you have already achieved them, several times over on the recording. Use feeling but speak calmly as this is to be the last thing you hear before falling asleep. Your mind responds differently when hearing your own voice. You will place this information in your subconscious mind much more quickly if it is your own voice. Your mind will respond better with your own voice than if hearing anyone else.

There are many more articles I have written waiting for you to view them at http://www.Achieveit.biz

Do you want to achieve your goals? Having a clear picture of what your goals are is a good start. Most of the persons who are successful have clearly defined goals and visit them often. Sounds simple. For many, making a set of defined goals is a difficult matter. What I will share with you, in this series of articles, is an easy way to put your goals into existence. Let's get to it!

The first step to defining your goals is to know what it is you want to achieve. Here are a couple of exercises you can do to find out what it is you really want in your life: Look in the mirror and ask the person looking back at you. "What do I want in my life" This may be uncomfortable at first. That is alright. Keep practicing and you will soon be able to have that conversation with the person who is always there looking back at you. 2) Take a large piece of paper and write down your ideal life. What you would like to become. Who your friends are, where do you live, what carreer do you have. Everything you can imagine you would like you life to be, write it down. You may also draw or paste pictures of your ideal life on this sheet. What does your home look like? Where is it located? Where would you vacation? You get the idea. Do this. Thinking about it in your mind is great, however, putting it down on this paper so it is a visual and tactile representation is very important. I will cover this aspect, in depth, in future articles.

Great! Now, it is important to note, at this point, you are not tied to any one goal you have made. Your goals will change as often as you would like them to. This is an ever-changing process. Also, be aware that you are not required to put forth extreme effort in achieveing these goals. You do not have to strive or use undo effort. If you do find excessive resistance, you may wish to re-evaluate the particular goal and decide if it is truly something you wish to achieve. Once you have your goals firmly set, the process of reaching them will flow easily. Notice how the true nature of life is the simplistic flow, finding the path of least resistance. Defining your goals allows you to have a clear purpose in mind and sets you in the direction to gain the vision you have set for yourself.

Still with me? Super! Next, take another piece of paper and write down the following headings: Personal Growth Carreer Relationships Self-expression Income Possessions Fun The Earth Now, under each heading, describe what it is you would like to have, change or achieve in that column. What would you like to do to grow? Learn another language? Learn to paint? What kind of work would you most like to do? What are the attributes of the persons you have relationships with, who are your friends? How would you like to think about yourself? What income do you wish to have? Where would you like to live, what kind of car would you drive? What would you do for fun? Travel? Learn to fly a plane? Go Scuba diving? And, finally, What would you do to make a difference on this planet? For the people who live here? This is not a difficult exercise, simply write down anything that comes to mind. There are no wrong answers. Spend some time with this, reflect and use your imagination. This is an exercise to stimulate your mind to create all of the possibilities you could achieve in your life. Once you have started this process, you will find yourself thinking of more and more possibilities. Notice the feelings you have when you are thinking about these things. Notice and remember these feelings as they are a key to your attaining your goals!

Once you are comfortable with this exercise, it is time to take the next step: defining your goals. On a fresh sheet of paper, write the following phrase: "This would be my life if I could be, do and have anything I wished". Using the pages from the previous exercise, write out your desired life. Phrase this as though this life is already yours. Ex: I am grateful I have a partner whom I love very much and who is supportive...I live in a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home in the mountains..and so forth. Cover all of the areas in the previous exercise. This would be your ideal life!

Now, review what you have written there. What are the top 8 to10 things you have written? Which of those make you feel the best? Which of these are you most passionate about? These ideas contain your 5-year goals. The 5-year goals may look as though they are unattainable from where you are at this point. That is good! Those goals should make you feel uncomfortable, make your palms sweat, and make you excited at the prospect of them coming true. Great! Next, keeping in line with the 5-year goals, put the heading "My 1 year Goals" on another sheet of paper. Choose 6 or 8 goals you would like to achieve and write them down. Remember to keep these goals in line with your 5-year plan. They are another step to getting where you want to be. Also, very important, write them as if you have already achieved them. Ex: "I am grateful I have quit my job and started my own business that is now providing me the time freedom and income I deserve" Once that is accomplished, do the same for your 6-month, 1-month, 1-week and today's goals. Always keeping in line with the 5-year plan. Your goals must be specific and have a completion date. Ex: 'I am grateful I made $20,000 in my business by (specific date)" instead of "I will make a bunch of friends"

A final note. When you are determining your goals, make them real and meaningful to you. Goals that you actually want and not what you think you want (see exercise 1). Remember that you may wish to modify or delete some goals as you progress. Also, you may not attain some goals. That is OK. Review the goals you did not meet and determine whether this is a goal you wish to continue with or something that no-longer fits in your scheme of things. Review all of your goals on a regular basis and modify them as you see fit. Continue to work on your individual goals until the 12th hour. They sometimes have a way of manifesting at the last possible minute! Again, this may take some practice. When you accomplish a goal, celebrate! Pat yourself on the back! Acknowledge your success and be grateful for the opportunity! Once you have mastered this process you will be ready to read additional articles I have produced to further your experience. Thank You for your attention, let me know of your progress. Russ Sutton, RN http://www.Achieveit.Biz

Living Life In The Flow Of The Universe!

Have you ever stared off into space while sitting at your desk at the job you can not stand wondering what life would be like if your weren't shackled to the chains of that weekly paycheck you so desperately have come to rely on? The one that barely covers the bare necessities after the bills have all been paid, if you're lucky enough to make that much where you actually have any left over, or better yet, have enough to cover the bills in the first place. Have you wondered how your son's soccer game was going since you couldn't be there because you had to work? You tried to take the time off but of course, you didn't get it. Now all you have to rely on are the highlights of the game and the rest of your family's day you'll be lucky to squeeze in before bedtime, if you make it home before then. One more question, aren't you tired of that?

What if I told you that you hold the key to unlock those shackles? That you hold the power to to give your family the life that you all so absolutely deserve. That YOU hold the magic within you to create your own surroundings and all you need is to RECOGNIZE IT!

Since the dawn of time there has been a law in place that was put there to serve all inhabitants of the Universe. No this isn't some weird Sci-Fi documentary, this is a truth that has been buried for thousands of years, maybe millions, that has finally resurfaced in order to give us as individuals the power to regain back control of our lives to live them they way they were meant to be lived...happy, comfortably and ON OUR OWN TERMS. This law has come to be known as the Law of Attraction, and it governs us all.

So what does this have to do with work? EVERYTHING!

The Law of Attraction, simply stated, is the power of like to attract like, what goes around comes around, you get what you give. How many times have you noticed when things were going good, your spirits were high and thoughts were positive that more positive things would continue to happen? Then that one event happens, that one rotten apple that spoils your positive energy and forces you to think negatively again, and guess what happens? That's right, a chain of negative events. Now apply that thinking to your job. You know you dislike it, you dislike the time it takes from your family, the money it barely pays you, the mundane tasks you have to perform that don't interest you in the least...have you any idea what you could accomplish if you spun all of that negative thinking towards positive excitement about running your own home based business? Do you have any idea how much more successful you will be if you put forth as much effort as you do a job you can't stand towards your own dream? The benefits are endless, and it's all within you. Just like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz looking for her home, it was in her the whole time!

I know there are so many home based opportunities out there that are truly full of garbage. They tell you to pay a fee, by the e-book or order the CD-ROM and they'll make you rich over night. But that is just not possible. Nope. No one ever got rich standing around waiting for it to happen. No one ever made a dime moping and complaining about how broke they are. No one. The people who are the most successful in this world had a dream and made it happen. THEY made it happen. With effort, determination, a great system backed by a network of people who believe just as much in your own success as they do their own, YOU have the ability to make that happen too! You just have to want it, feel it, taste and believe you can. Believe me, the Universe will bring it to you, just ask for it...

You have it within you to live your life the way you see fit. On your own terms. With the right tools there's nothing you can't do. And that's no "Secret".
