1. You must really know what you want. So start asking yourself what you really want.
2. Change the way you think to change your life. Whatever you believe to be so, you are proven to be right!

Shockingly what I thought I really wanted was not what I really wanted. I accidentally realized it two years ago.

As far as I know, I’ve been fond of eating delicious food… baby back ribs, beef steaks, roast lamb chops, yakiniku, crabs, raw oysters. But all of that food comes with a price: fat and high colesterol. I didn’t care about it. I thougth eating delicious food is how I enjoyed my life.

Then one day, I met a stranger and we got into casual conversation. Somehow he mentioned he didn’t eat meat and seafood. I was surprised and blurted unconsciously, “How do you enjoy life if you don’t eat meat and seafood?” He calmly answered, “For me, be able to watch my grandchildren is enjoying life. To be able to live long, healthy and happy with my family is enjoying life.”

Slap!

His answer hit me and made me realize how wrong I was. It was a great reflection from a stranger, wasn’t it? Hence I started to change my diet. I ate only healthy food and avoided all of those “dangerous” food. But it didn’t last long. After about a month, I resumed to my old habit. Eating “bad” food again.

Until finally I came across a good diet book, Living The G.I. Diet. There was a sentence in this book that changed the way I think, “It’s not a diet. It’s a life style.”

So in my own simple example, my two ingredients are:

1. I really want to live long happily and healthily with my family and be able to watch and play with my grandchildren. It’s still long way to go since my son is still 16-month old!
2. I change the way I think about food. It’s not a diet. It’s my healthy life style.

I hope that enlighten you with my own experience.

What’s yours? Come on, share yours so that we can motivate each other

I like this prayer so much… It gives me courage and calmness. So I want to share it with you all.

The Serenity Prayer
by Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.

(If you like it, here’s a printed version of The Serenity Prayer.)

Some of you may not know Ramadan, so here’s an excerpt from Wikipedia:

Ramadan (Arabic: ?????, Rama??n) is an Islamic religious observance that takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, when the Qur’an was revealed. The word “Ramadan” is derived from an Arabic word for intense heat, scorched ground, and shortness of rations. It is considered the most venerated, blessed and spiritually-beneficial month of the Islamic year. Prayers, sawm (fasting), charity, and self-accountability are especially stressed at this time; religious observances associated with Ramadan are kept throughout the month.

Today is the first of Ramadan, the first day they start fasting. So I can imagine the sudden change of life style where they can’t eat and drink during the day… hunger and thirst must be felt.

Now what’s its relation with law of attraction?

By shifting the focus! So instead feel and think about hunger and thirst, shift the feeling and thought to something else.. something good. For example it can be a plan for charity.

Controlling the emotion such as refraining from anger, envy, greed, lust, sarcastic retorts, backbiting, and gossip can also be done by listening to soothing and calming audio.

To keep long story short, my mastermind group advised me to focus on 1-2 projects first and postpone the others. They also told me that one of the biggest reason many people fail is greed.

So that’s what I do. Focus and here what I’d do to keep my focus:

1. List down all the tasks I need to do.
2. Sort them by priority.
3. Make a schedule for it.
4. Tell other people I am committing myself to this schedule (I’ll tell my wife).
5. Tackle the tasks one by one.
6. Now and then, review my past actions. Ask myself how I can do it better? Or faster?
7. Visualize that I’ve done all of my task well.

I hope this is useful for you, too.

Well, during an average day, you walk around seeing and sensing things you might like to experience, and in doing so, you think about how you can obtain it. The clearer you are about the experience you want to have from the size, shape, texture, smell, etc., you will cause your emotion to trigger the action to create stronger thoughts, which are then stored into your subconscious mind. It is when enough similar thoughts have collected that the subconscious mind will send the specific signal into the Universe with your desired images. How? Through the constant repeating and storing of focused concentrated thoughts with information from your conscious mind to the subconscious whether it is positive or negative.

The conscious mind is constantly taking in almost everything visually screening, sorting, analyzing the content, and deciding whether it will become one of your experiences. As your conscious mind scopes out a new adventure, the subconscious mind vibrationally feels the emotional energy that is wrapped around the information it is receiving. This is done to see whether it is a wish or something that you really might like to experience in the future or now. But even if it is a wish the moment you insert enough emotion behind it, you will trigger manifestation. This is the formula for creating:

Thought + Desire + Emotion + Belief + Visualization + Expectation = Manifestation

Stay focused only on positive, uplifting, empowering thoughts about yourself and your desire, because unseemly chaotic, outside stimulation (family, friends, spouse, lover, etc.) can easily sidetrack you or cause you to become unfocused or stuck in pursing their desire rather than your own. Such subliminal information can also come from watching TV and listening to the radio and can slowly hypnotize a person into believing they need everything “right now” from a new car, a bigger house, to a better job without ever being clear about what else comes with that desire. Listening to others who seem to have your best at heart may have a bias, which focused on might convince you that you are never going to be a success or live a glorious, delicious life because successful people look like models, or are born rich and have the right connections.

So, in collecting data keep in mind you can choose the better part of something that may not be to your total liking. You may not like the person personality, but love the suit they have on, therefore focus only on the suit and not the person. Keep in mind that your subconscious mind has the ability to go beyond the physical and manifest anything you can create in your mind if you desire it with deep passion, and believe it. As with anything in colleting data always “consider the source” i.e., what is the purpose of this information, where is it coming from and is it for the highest good of all.

Ponder:

1. Acknowledge that you create your reality.
2. Acknowledge that you are worthy.
3. What are you grateful for now?
4. How decisive are you about your desire?
5. How determined are you?
6. Do you have faith?
7. What really inspires you?
8. What motivates you?
9. What makes you laugh?
10. If it’s not positive then it is negative.
11. Are you connected to the Universe?
12. Do you believe?
13. Are you aligned with the Universe?
14. Develop a positive Attitude.
15. Be grateful now for seen and unseen.

Then out of the blue, I received email from my mentor, Stephen Pierce. He wrote, “The only thing that limits your own creation potential is your own belief system! Whatever you believe to be so, you are proven to be right!”

I felt like he slap me in my face. Thank you Stephen, you remind to change my thoughts. I have to think as a winner and that I’ve accomplished my goal for this week.

Stephen is proudly wearing batik (Indonesian traditional formal shirt) that my wife and I gave him. Oh, that’s me next to him by the way.

Here’s his complete email…

Hey Aldian,

While we continue to rail against the injustices we are experiencing in our lives we continue to perpetuate these circumstances and events. However, the Law of Attraction holds the promise that we can change, ANYTHING… and at anytime we choose to make these changes.

It works like this…

Everything that occurs in your life is interpreted BY YOU. You add the meaning to it. You add the emotional response to it. In fact, you add EVERYTHING to it.

It is your own thoughts that literally take the energy “data” and transpose it into your reality. Whatever it is that you consider to be “real” is nothing more than an agreement that you’ve made with yourself (and no doubt many others in some cases) about what constitutes “reality” for you. In effect you’ve created your very own trance state, and then agreed to live in it!

This is how your your reality has been shaped. This is how you have learned what is possible, and what is “impossible”, and (guess what) we all do this as long as we remain unconscious to this idea of personal responsibility for the events in our lives.

This is the important part. Most of what we have learned in life (the stuff that we think is real) we have learned from OTHER PEOPLE. However, the effects of this are profound, because (guess what) these other people (usually our family and friends) all have their OWN limiting belief systems, which is the stuff they ALSO consider to be “real”.

Can you see how insane that approach to life could get? Can you see how the law of attraction may work negatively for you?

So, (I hear you ask) can these reality changes happen fast?

Well, yes and no. Ultimately the speed at which change occurs depends on how much negativity you’ve been living with in your own life, to date.

It’s time to Wake Up!

The Law of Attraction – being a principle of this grand schema – is energy in flow. Everything in the Universe is composed of energy, including us Humans. Even our thoughts are composed of energy. It’s through energy that everything in the Universe is connected.

Look around you. The trees, rocks, birds animals, the air you breath, the planets spinning around in their ordered “chaos” etc. All of this was created without stress and zero effort on your part. None of this creation involved your over-analysis, nor any effort by you. All of this creation
and re-creation happens automatically, and effortlessly.

This universal law of attraction continually creates abundance and wealth for us all.

Here is the remarkable part. You ARE a part of this Universe and through the power of thought you too have the same creative power that manifests everything that you see.

The only thing that limits your own creation potential is your own belief system! Whatever you believe to be so, you are proven to be right! How just is that?

So, to get fast results the FIRST thing you have to do is put aside your own disbelief, focus on what you want, and (most important) be grateful for what you already have.

These are the keys to your manifestation success here, using the Law of Attraction. Yes, you too, can create abundance in your life once you understand how to utilize the Law of Attraction in your life.

God Bless YOU and YOURS,
Stephen Pierce

No one and nothing has power over you but your thoughts. Your thoughts create the different experiences in your life. If you are feeling great about the situation you are in, then you will receive more of that wonderful feeling. But if you are not in a place of feeling good, then you will receive more of that. Why? Where you focus your attention good, bad or indifferent, it will cause you to automatically fixate on the object, bringing more of the same energy streaming towards you.

Start thinking that everything is possible and there is no such thing as failure, for failure is just feedback to assist you on your journey. Think, Desire, Visualize, Focus, Believe and Receive for the highest good of all.

How will I know if what I desire is right for me?

This seems to be the number two question behind asking what do you want. When something is right for you, your willingness to do it will be so great you will not care if you don’t get paid for it. That is how you will know. Doing it makes you happy. It is something you truly want to share with others, and it is something you think will actually make a difference in your life and the lives of others. Now it is up to you to decide whether you will honestly listen to your inner self, follow through and chase that desire.

Do I have to pretend to be happy and joyous?

You can directly connect to the universe, which means you are in total control of your thought choices. The ability to choose how you react, feel or create your life is yours. Being happy is the natural state. It aligns you quicker with the universe

Will I have to monitor my thoughts?

Yes, but not to the point where you are trying to suck every thought back into your head. Monitoring your thoughts is a great exercise that helps you see if you can speak exactly what you desire into manifestation.

How specific must I be?

The more specific you are the greater the chance of receiving your desire sooner. Give details of the desire to the fullest. Use all of your senses: sight, sound, taste and touch. See yourself with your desire and believe it is yours.

Do I have to quit my job in order to pursue my desire?

No, you can use your job as a launching pad, learning all you can about what makes the business you are currently in successful. Then you could slowly remove yourself from your job until it becomes a part-time situation. Maybe that gradual slide would be a better step-off scenario for you, allowing more time to get in total alignment with your desire. All the data you can collect will be helpful, for as you visualize your desire, you can specifically add aspects that are more positive to your thoughts.

Is a journal/notebook a good idea?

It is an excellent idea. A simple notebook is a great place to start writing specifics about your desires, using the pages to document your progress from day to day. Use milestones to effectively monitor your attraction progress.

It is rather like the invisible connection between the earth’s magnetic field and every magnetic compass on earth. They are interconnected. If the earth’s magnetic field were to suddenly shift then every compass in existence would swing in unison. Likewise, if you suddenly move a magnetic compass, or any magnet for that matter, this movement will have a slight effect on the earth’s entire magnetic field. Admittedly this would be so small as to be immeasurable but it would still be there.

Similarly, when you have a thought it “twitches” the entire human consciousness “thought field”.

Rupert Sheldrake calls this the Morphogenetic Field. Karl Jung called it Collective Unconsciousness.

Jose Silva found a practical method of evoking and controlling this marvelous human ability at will.

The technique, which is amazingly simple, has been developed over the years but to this day more than 99% of the population are unaware of it.

In the United States it is used extensively in business to “sway” the outcome of a business proposition in favor of the person using Subjective Communication.

In personal life it has been used to resurrect a dying marriage, to name but one of its many applications. And one of the most extraordinary applications is to use it to make people aware of your advertisement in the Yellow Pages!

Its effectiveness appears to vary between 20% and 500%. That is the results can be up to 500% better than they would have been without it.

If you consider two identical competitive businesses both vying for superior market share then the one that learns to use Subjective Communication will forge ahead. This has been tested and thoroughly proven.

Car dealers in the US who use this direct mental contact technique have reported a sharp improvement in sales. The usual comment is it brings customers out of the woodwork and actually closes more deals. US real estate agents use it also – it makes a vast difference in their commissions when used properly.

And it is a strange thing that most people are using it continually without being aware of it. Unfortunately they are also conveying mentally their fears and apprehensions. So it can work against them.

But used properly and with the correct protocol it can (and does) produce quite astounding results. Sometimes the results leave the practitioner somewhat startled. They almost seem too good to be true! Some beginners have had such amazing success that the result has literally left them “awe-struck!

If you decide to apply this magical mental technique to other areas of your life …then things suddenly become much more interesting. You seem to be able to achieve anything you set out to and for some “strange” reason; even total strangers fall over backwards trying to help you.

Welcome to the world of direct mental influence …Subjective Communication!

In reality Subjective Communication is extremely easy and you do not have to have any experience whatsoever in alpha techniques, but it will help if you do. However there are simple ways to overcome this so that even a rank beginner can use Subjective Communication successfully on their first try!

• Find and hire a programmer through Elance.
• Revise and optimize one of my landing pages.
• Revise and optimize my ebook.
• Write a post about free traffic generation for my blog.
• And some other miscellaneous stuffs.

However, although I’ve written my goals for the day, sometimes I still felt overwhelm. So I also wrote the reasons why I had to accomplish those goals. But still, although knowing the reasons why I had to do it, my creative juices didn’t flow.

When that happened, I stopped doing my list. I shifted my attention to something relaxing. For me, it’s playing with my 14-month old boy. Oh boy, it’s really stress reliever!

After a period of that happy time, I always felt energize and creative juices flowing into my brain. That’s why I write this post and share it with you.

So I want to point out to you: solve problem from distance.

Whenever you hit a wall and get frustrated:

• Stop doing whatever you’re doing.
• Relax yourself and shift your attention. You can try:
  • Meditation.
  • Listening to relaxation audio.
  • Doing your hobby or whatever you’re fond of (Like I played with my son).
• After you’re relax and creative juices flowing inside you, you can break that wall easily.

Here are what my friends do solve their problems from distance:

• Cornel
  

  • I put everything down.. go out and refresh myself to do something I like, eg. find friends and chit chat, go get some books from bookstore, eat ice cream..
  • I watch DVD.. or series movie, eg. the apprentice, lost, prison break, desparate housewife, etc.
  • I sit down and think quietly.. ask question myself.
  • I go sleep.. hoho3x..

• Raymond
  

  I usually do some house work such as wash the aquarium, gardening, sweep and mop the floor. I need to get these work done anyway. So I choose to do it when I really don’t know what to do or stuck with my work.

  Wow, Raymond, you’re more than welcomed to come to my home to relieve some more stress!

• Annie
  

  I am a music lover and I listen to music all the time (ask Alicia and them about banging on my office door forever because I had my headphones up too loud to hear anyone) – lately, when I am feeling stressed out or overwhelmed, I like getting on YouTube and looking up concert footage of some of my favorite bands and artists. Watching that sort of thing, and especially finding a new rare bit I haven’t seen before, really cheers me up and gets me moving again.

• Ben
  

  For me i love to work out in the gym building my dream physique and most importantly keep fit and relieve stress at the same time ( Kill 2 birds with 1 stone ) , combine that recently with running ard 5-6km 3 times per week really keeps me more focus on the things that i love to do. However, i am still recovering from an accident that happened to me last month… so no running only gyming at my own risk ( I can\’t stay still at all ). Other that i normally listen to music, read books ( Lots of them ), surf sites ( hehe ), and yah youtube.

Let’s share your experiences, too! Post in comments what you do to break a wall
