Regardless of what it is?

There sure is and the funny thing is that, it isn’t really a secret at all. ;o)

Wallace D. Wattles, best known for his classic masterpiece ‘The Science of Getting Rich’, began most of the articles in his ‘Lessons in Constructive Science ‘ series of articles with this preface:

‘There is a constructive, or integrating principle in nature, and a destructive, or disintegrating principle. Power applied through the constructive principle builds, forms and integrates; it draws atoms and forms together.

Power applied through the destructive principle dissolves and disintegrates; it disperses atoms and forms, and throws them apart. To learn how to make every thought and action constructive, is to master the secret of all attainment.’

And there in lies the secret.

The *real* secret to getting what you want regardless of what it is..

You need to ‘To learn how to make every thought and action constructive, is to master the secret of all attainment.’

Every thought you think is either:

Constructive, or its… Destructive

It either Builds or it Destroys

Every action you take is either:

Constructive, or its …Destructive

It either Builds or it …Destroys.

If you want to build something lets take a house for example…

If your every thought is a constructive thought contributing to the building of the house, and your every action is a constructive action, contributing to the building of the house..

Is there any way that you could possibly not build the house?

On the other hand..

If your every thought is destructive thought, not contributing to the building of the house, and your every action is a destructive action, not contributing to the building of the house..

Is there any way that you could possibly ever build the house..No matter how much you want to build it? The answer is of course not!

This same *exact* principle applies to getting what you want in life.. Regardless of what it is..

If you want to ‘build’ wealth.. if your every thought is a constructive thought, contributing to the building of wealth, and your every action is a constructive action, contributing to thw building of wealth, you will build wealth.

If you want to ‘build’ success…

If your every thought is a constructive thought, contributing to the building of success, and your every action is a constructive action, contributing to the building of success, you will build success.

If you want to ‘build’ happiness …

If your every thought is a constructive thought, contributing to the building of happiness, and your every action is a constructive action, contributing to the building of happiness, you will build happiness.

If you want to ‘build’ love..

If your every thought is a constructive thought, contributing to the building of love, and your every action is a constructive action, contributing to the building of love, you will build love.

It is that simple, you have the choice, you can *choose* to make your every thought constructive thought, contributing to the building of what you want, and you can  *choose* to make your every action a constructive action, contributing to the building of what you want.

‘To learn how to make every thought and action constructive, is to master the secret of all attainment’

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Those who think they’re unlucky should change their outlook and discover how to generate good fortune, says Richard Wiseman

By Richard Wiseman / Source: The Telegraph

A decade ago, I set out to investigate luck. I wanted to examine the impact on people’s lives of chance opportunities, lucky breaks and being in the right place at the right time. After many experiments, I believe that I now understand why some people are luckier than others and that it is possible to become luckier.

To launch my study, I placed advertisements in national newspapers and magazines, asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to contact me. Over the years, 400 extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research from all walks of life: the youngest is an 18-year-old student, the oldest an 84-year-old retired accountant.

Jessica, a 42-year-old forensic scientist, is typical of the lucky group. As she explained: “I have my dream job, two wonderful children and a great guy whom I love very much. It’s amazing; when I look back at my life, I realise I have been lucky in just about every area.”

In contrast, Carolyn, a 34-year-old care assistant, is typical of the unlucky group. She is accident-prone. In one week, she twisted her ankle in a pothole, injured her back in another fall and reversed her car into a tree during a driving lesson. She was also unlucky in love and felt she was always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Over the years, I interviewed these volunteers, asked them to complete diaries, questionnaires and intelligence tests, and invited them to participate in experiments. The findings have revealed that although unlucky people have almost no insight into the real causes of their good and bad luck, their thoughts and behaviour are responsible for much of their fortune.

Take the case of chance opportunities. Lucky people consistently encounter such opportunities, whereas unlucky people do not. I carried out a simple experiment to discover whether this was due to differences in their ability to spot such opportunities.

I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs, whereas the lucky people took just seconds. Why? Because the second page of the newspaper contained the message: “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper.” This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than 2 inches high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.

For fun, I placed a second large message halfway through the newspaper: “Stop counting. Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win £250.” Again, the unlucky people missed the opportunity because they were still too busy looking for photographs.

Relax and Open Yourself to Luck

Personality tests revealed that unlucky people are generally much more tense than lucky people, and research has shown that anxiety disrupts people’s ability to notice the unexpected. In one experiment, people were asked to watch a moving dot in the centre of a computer screen. Without warning, large dots would occasionally be flashed at the edges of the screen. Nearly all participants noticed these large dots.

The experiment was then repeated with a second group of people, who were offered a large financial reward for accurately watching the centre dot, creating more anxiety. They became focused on the centre dot and more than a third of them missed the large dots when they appeared on the screen. The harder they looked, the less they saw.

And so it is with luck – unlucky people miss chance opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner and so miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and as a result miss other types of jobs. Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for.

My research revealed that lucky people generate good fortune via four basic principles. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.

I wondered whether these four principles could be used to increase the amount of good luck that people encounter in their lives. To find out, I created a “luck school” – a simple experiment that examined whether people’s luck can be enhanced by getting them to think and behave like a lucky person.

I asked a group of lucky and unlucky volunteers to spend a month carrying out exercises designed to help them think and behave like a lucky person. These exercises helped them spot chance opportunities, listen to their intuition, expect to be lucky, and be more resilient to bad luck.

One month later, the volunteers returned and described what had happened. The results were dramatic: 80 per cent of people were now happier, more satisfied with their lives and, perhaps most important of all, luckier. While lucky people became luckier, the unlucky had become lucky. Take Carolyn, whom I introduced at the start of this article. After graduating from “luck school”, she has passed her driving test after three years of trying, was no longer accident-prone and became more confident.

3 Ways to Become a Luckier Person

In the wake of these studies, I think there are three easy techniques that can help to maximise good fortune:

* Unlucky people often fail to follow their intuition when making a choice, whereas lucky people tend to respect hunches. Lucky people are interested in how they both think and feel about the various options, rather than simply looking at the rational side of the situation. I think this helps them because gut feelings act as an alarm bell – a reason to consider a decision carefully.

* Unlucky people tend to be creatures of routine. They tend to take the same route to and from work and talk to the same types of people at parties. In contrast, many lucky people try to introduce variety into their lives. For example, one person described how he thought of a colour before arriving at a party and then introduced himself to people wearing that colour. This kind of behaviour boosts the likelihood of chance opportunities by introducing variety.

* Lucky people tend to see the positive side of their ill fortune. They imagine how things could have been worse. In one interview, a lucky volunteer arrived with his leg in a plaster cast and described how he had fallen down a flight of stairs. I asked him whether he still felt lucky and he cheerfully explained that he felt luckier than before. As he pointed out, he could have broken his neck.

How would you like to be able to condition someone to do anything?

I have a secret to share and I want to apologize for not telling you sooner.

I’m a long time student of mind control.

I’ve been using it selfishly for far too long and I think it’s about time I shared my top secret technique with you and the rest of the world.

Before you get any ideas…

The mind I control is my own. You too can control your mind to magically force yourself to accomplish things you previously thought impossible.

The problem with a lot of people not reaching their goals is they haven’t properly brainwashed themselves.

This isn’t just about positive thoughts and affirmations or writing down your goals.

While that stuff is all well and good it doesn’t produce results like my Mind Control Method. (Patent Pending or something.)

You should know, in advance of learning Mind Control, that failing is normal.

That said, if done right (it will take you a few tries), this has a 100% success rate.

Since a very young age I’ve had the incredible ability to achieve, acquire, or do virtually anything I’ve ever wanted. And the reason is I use the Mind Control Method.

When I was in 6th grade I used Mind Control to get a full University scholarship. (I don’t know how it is where you live, but in the U.S. Uni is very expensive.) It materialized 6 years later and I never had to pay for the Computer Science degree I didn’t use.

In 8th grade I used Mind Control to pay for a class trip to Chicago, Illinois.

While in University I used Mind Control to keep from ever having to get a job and to build a $100,000+ per year business at age 23.

I have many more examples, but you know I hate fluff so that’s enough of that…

How To Perform Mind Control (On Yourself!)

1) Write down what you want to happen in letter form. That is, write a letter (not a sentence; a detailed letter) to your future self explaining what already happened (even though it hasn’t happened yet). Date the letter and specify the date your goal was reached.

If you don’t know how to begin let me help start you off:

“Hey [your name], You already know all of this by now, but some amazing things have happened in the last 6 months…”

And then start explaining what you did and how you did it even though it hasn’t been done yet. Sounds complicated. It’s not. Just do it. It’s essential to the brainwashing aspect of Mind Control Method.

“Karol, WTF, you just said writing down goals doesn’t work!”

That’s not exactly true, so please bear with me here.

2) Read the letter aloud. Seemingly insignificant, but auditory stimulation is important in Mind Control.

3) Believe. Do you believe what you just read aloud? If not, start over with Step 1. That means throw away your letter. Don’t use it as a “draft” for your new letter. Start over. Clean slate.

If you write something like “Man, it’s so cool that I won the lottery. Life is so good now.” the Mind Control Method won’t work. Why? Because there is absolutely no way you will ever truly believe you won the lottery.

Keep repeating Steps 1-3 until you have the wording so vividly clear that it feels like what is in the letter has already happened.

4) Take action. This step is where I feel like you might get caught up. But it doesn’t have to be difficult.

Begin the process of doing what your future self already knows has been done. Take it step by step as you’ve already described in the letter.

You might think this doesn’t work, but you’ve seen one of my letters already. My last Mind Control Method Letter is where Accountability Statement #1 came from. Obviously I changed it around and turned it into a blog post, but within 2 weeks of writing that I increased the readership to this blog 14-fold. And the readership keeps increasing beautifully.

The whole Mind Control Method process should take hours, not minutes. It’s not a fast process whatsoever. If you find yourself not enjoying the process it may be because what you’re writing about in your letter isn’t something you truly want.

I’ve never taught or talked about my Mind Control Method before. I always had a feeling people might think it’s dumb and wouldn’t use it. Which would be a waste of time all around.

I know you’ll use it, because you’re a Ridiculously Extraordinary Person. We don’t try. We do. We use The Iron Mind and we take action.

Go, go, go!

This is the ethos of life coach, sales expert and Feng Shui consultant Marie-Claire Carlyle, who has published a timely book which she claims “has the power to transform anyone into the type of person who is lucky in life, attracts money easily and lives life with a passion”.

How To Become a Money Magnet offers a unique set of steps and exercises to better your financial situation, which are based on the author’s experience as a sales director who ‘never missed a target’ and years spent coaching people in the business, life and Feng Shui concepts which she has found inextricably linked to how we all attract money into our lives.

We spoke to the third-generation Irishwoman, whose father Humphrey Broad-Davies was a former player for London Irish with a family that hailed from Co. Kilkenny, and found out a little more of the steps we should all be taking to increase our wealth.

“The message is essentially around changing the mindset of people regarding money and success in their lives,” she said. “One thing I have found throughout my career is that when the mindset is in the right place things happen.

“As a sales director I had targets of millions of pounds a month but I found that as long as I kept an expectation that I was going to achieve the target, then it would come in. You need to shift the focus from the question mark of whether something is going to happen to believing it will — that can apply to anyone in any role anywhere.”

And when she says anyone she means it, ‘we all have the power to transform our financial situation’ she confirms.

“Whether you are a person surviving on benefits or the CEO of a company looking to increase their success.”

The seven steps she asks readers to take and the exercises they must complete are, according to the author, based on some key things which are pivotal to magnetising oneself to money.

“Changing your beliefs, both conscious and sub-conscious, about money is a key thing,” she says. “One important step is changing the way you talk about money.

“Talk about your business suffering because of the recession is not going to attract money; you need to give a more positive slant to the way you speak. Quite often the people who blame everything but themselves for their situation are actually not being responsible for their finances at all – and that is the second thing to do, be responsible for your situation.”

And she added: “Another huge thing is to create a space for money in your life.

“Money is only energy really and we are so cluttered up in homes and offices, that you need to start clearing space at work and home to let it in.”

Marie-Claire’s final nugget of advice is one that may appeal to those made redundant by the recession.

“It is very important to be following your heart’s desire in life,” she claims. “So those who are looking for a new career would do well to work out what they really want to be doing. The key thing there is that money is not real, it’s a by product of giving lots of value.

“That links to the strength of following your hearts desire in life, as if you are doing what thrills and ignites then the odds are you are following your purpose, doing which will bring that value back to you.”

Marie-Claire, also an Inspirational Speaker, was born in Penarth, South Wales and brought up in Chester, where she currently lives and offers personal life coaching packages.

Brian Tracy calls it “the greatest principle in the history of mankind.”

“The Law of Cause and Effect says that everything happens for a reason. For every effect in your life, there is a cause, or series of specific, measurable, definable, identifiable causes.

“This law says that if there is anything you want in life, an effect that you desire, you can find someone else that has achieved the same result or effect, and that by doing the same things that they have done over and over you can eventually enjoy the same results and rewards.

“Success, however you define it, is not an accident. It is not a result of good luck versus bad luck. Even if you have not taken the time to clearly identify how you got from where you were to where you are today, there have been a series of specific steps that you have taken that have brought you to where you are at this minute.

And the fact is, they could have brought you to no other place. You are where you are, and what you are because of yourself. It has been your choices and your decisions over the months and years that have inevitably determined the condition of your life at this moment.

“The most wonderful part of this is that at any time you can start making different choices and different decisions, taking different steps and you will inevitably arrive at a different place than where you are today.

“The greatest thinkers of all time, going back to the earliest recorded writings of the earliest religions, the earliest philosophers and metaphysical schools have all emphasized the power of the human mind to shape individual destinies.

“The key to your enjoying more of what people call luck is for you to engage in more of the actions that are more likely to bring about the consequences that you desire. At the same time, you must conscientiously decide to avoid those actions that will not bring about the consequences that you desire, or even worse, will bring about consequences that you don’t want.

“The laws of cause and effect, action and reaction, sowing and reaping, are timeless truths, universal principles that have existed since the beginning of man on this earth. All success, happiness and high achievement comes from organizing your life in conformance with these timeless principles. When you do, you will achieve satisfaction and enjoyment at levels seldom experienced by the average person and of course, people will start to refer to you as lucky.”

If you’re ready to master these Universal Laws of Success, you’re ready for “Success Mastery Academy,” a massive 16-module program that many have called the best program they’ve ever owned.

We’ve put together a special buy that allows you to put this in your success library for less than half of what you’d pay if you bought it from Brian’s own website (but we only have 91 units available).

If you don’t do anything else, listen to the excerpts as they are golden gems in their own right.
