I was talking to someone close to me the other week and we were discussing a certain matter about their life. I asked them to think back and tell me how they thought about that particular subject, since this was something they felt they lacked in it was easy to list those things out. After they told me how they thought about that subject I told them that I could tell them why they didn’t succeed in it. Without hesitating they told me first, “I don’t believe I can!”

They are exactly right! Now I asked them to think about it this way. What if you believed you could? When you think about that your mind automatically starts the thinking process on what thoughts you would think about if you believed you could. If you held onto that mindset then what you lacked in a certain subject you would start to succeed in. It really is that easy. Holding on to the mindset is the hard part.

You might be thinking that it sounds easy but when I look at the situation it’s harder to see it. Let me help you with that. Find something that you have succeeded in. Once you have that in mind then think about all the things you can tell me about it. When you start telling me about it you never once say that it was never going to happen. You might have thought on the surface that you didn’t think it ever would but the biggest difference is you never believed that way of thinking.

You see for every success you have, at your core, you have always believed you would. You felt it, dreamed it, imagined it, and thought about it. For everything you lack in, that you wish you had so badly, at your core, you don’t believe you can, your not educated, you don’t have the money, your not talented, and I could go on with the excuses.

Don’t waste time telling me that I don’t know your situation. I don’t, but I am sure that I can always come up with a success story that started off worse than yours. You are your own excuse. You are to blame. No one did this to you. That’s a hard pill for a lot of us to swallow but it is true. The great thing about it that is you don’t have to, nor should you, rely or wait on anyone else to change it. You are in control and have all the power to do so. I am not saying that you shouldn’t seek help but when you turn your thoughts around the right help will start to seek you!

Success is up to you. Believe it or not!

Each morning when you wake say thank you! Thank you for another chance to make a difference in your life and someone else’s. Each person has that greatness inside of them. Wouldn’t it be cool to discover it today! Wouldn’t it be cool to be excited about getting up and getting another day rather than wishing it would end so you could go to bed.

Think about it now and the next time you wake up. Thank you for this day and thank you for this energy and strength that I have to make a difference! Thank you for the greatness that I have to change worlds and the limitless of possibilities that I can tap into!

Each one of us is great. Find your greatness today by starting with a Thank You!

The Live First Life….

Start today with noticing the “I am’s” that you are saying daily. They may be something like “I am tired”, “I am not good enough”, “I am different”, etc. Change those to some positive “I am’s”! I am strong, I am great, I am wealthy. Once you start saying those the body has to start reacting to those words.

This book would not be complete without some discussion of failure in the attempted use of the law of assumption. It is entirely possible that you either have had or will have a number of failures in this respect-many of them in really important matters. If, having read this book, having a thorough knowledge of the application and working of the law of assumption, you faithfully apply it in an effort to attain some intense desire and fail, what is the reason? If to the question “Did you persist enough?” you can answer Yes – and still the attainment of your desire was not realized, what was the reason for failure?

The answer to this is the most important factor in the successful use of the law of assumption. The time it takes your assumption to become fact, your desire to be fulfilled, is directly proportionate to the naturalness of your feeling of already being of what you want to be – of already having what you desire. The fact that it does not feel natural to you to be what you imagine yourself to be is the secret of your failure. Regardless of your desire, regardless of how faithfully and intelligently you follow the law, if you do not feel natural about what you want to be, you will not be it. If it does not feel natural to you to get a better job, you will not get a better job. The whole principle is vividly expressed by the Bible phrase “you die in your sins” – you do not transcend from your present level to the state desired.

How can the feeling of naturalness be achieved? The secret lies in one word – imagination. For example, this is a very simple illustration: Assume that you are securely chained to a large heavy iron bench. You could not possibly run, in fact you could not even walk. In these circumstances it would not be natural for you to run. You could not even feel that it was natural for you to run. But you could easily imagine yourself running. In an instant, while your consciousness is filled with your imagined running, you have forgotten that you are bound. In imagination your running was completely natural.

The essential feeling of naturalness can be achieved by persistently filling your consciousness with imagination – imagining yourself being what you want to be or having what you desire. Progress can only spring from your imagination, from your desire to transcend your present level.

What you truly and literally must feel is that with your imagination, all things are possible. You must realize that changes are not caused by caprice, but by a change of consciousness. You may fail to achieve or sustain the particular state of consciousness necessary to produce the effect you desire. But, once you know that consciousness is the only reality and is the sole creator of you particular world and have burnt this truth into your whole being, then you know that success or failure is entirely in your hands. Whether or not you are disciplined enough to sustain the required state of consciousness in specific instances has no bearing on the truth of the law itself – that an assumption, if persisted in, will harden into fact. The certainty of the truth of this law must remain despite great disappointment and tragedy – even when you “see the light of life go out and all the world goes on as though it was still day.” You must not believe that because your assumption failed to materialize, the truth that assumptions do materialize is a lie. If your assumptions are not fulfilled, it is because of some error or weakness in your consciousness. However, these errors and weaknesses can be overcome. Therefore, press on to the attainment of ever higher levels that you are already the person you want to be. And remember that the time it takes your assumption to become reality is proportionate to the naturalness of being it.

• The maintained attitude that gets you there, so that you think from your wish fulfilled instead of thinking about your wish, is aided by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled frequently. It is the frequency, not the length of time, that makes it natural. That to which you constantly return constitutes your truest self. Frequent occupancy of the feeling of the wish fulfilled is the secret of success.

Perfection can be described in the actions of a child.

Watching the emotions of love and hate, only to realize the hate so mild.

Searching always for comfort and attention as they move through our lives.

Knowing full well the feelings of pain, but making little or no signs of mention

The quick release of these feelings using the world to bring another.

The search goes on for love, as a feeling of comfort from their Mother.

A smile in seeming tragedy, teaches us life in their mind,

I feel I have to look inside myself for that child I might find.

The child knows of this source that creates our lives and knows all things,

We would be wise to take heed of the actions of this being.

Since we were all children at one time, we know this to be true,

It’s your soul your searching so hard to find, the feeling you’ll know only to be found by a few!

I have gone over this several times, but again I will say, you are not alone! You didn’t get here by yourself and you will not leave by yourself. There are laws of this universe that are here to create what it is that you want and all you have to do is ask for it. Now, to do this you have to be able to put your ego aside. For example, if you are in the mindset right now that you want to be here and you’re not and the only one in the world that believes it more is you but it is not happening then listen to me! Get rid of your ego! Your ego tells you that material things are what you measure yourself by. What job you have, what social status you are, how much money you have in the bank, and these are all results of circumstance. Nothing is wrong with these things. The problem lies in how you get to them!

If you are wanting these things and are believing that , “I have to do this, I have to get here, I, I, I, I, …..”, you will fail! Start believing in the source that is within you, that is within everyone, and have that faith and conviction that your imagination, your desires, will come to you, but only through your faith and your knowledge of source. After you have reached this point, sit back and watch things line up for you! When you are called to act, then act, do your part, and you will know when that time is! Enjoy your life and know that you will and you must!

“Make your mind up right now that there isn’t the slightest use trying to do anything by yourself. You just aren’t big enough and that is the plain truth of the matter. The millions of facts and circumstances beyond your ken and scope make of you a microbe on the face of the earth the moment you isolate yourself from the Subconscious Mind and say, “I, all by myself, will do this thing.” 

The first very apparent thing you will discover is that you don’t know enough. The second is that you find yourself facing gigantic forces over which you have no control and against which you have no weapon. Defeat in every undertaking is then certain, and the only end is to be reduced to a groveling, whining, complaining, fear-ridden speck.

But join forces with the Subconscious Mind and the entire universe speeds to answer your every need. For this wise and omnipotent father knows of your every need before you voice it, and may effect an instantaneous manifestation in your life of whatever it is you are convinced of. The Subconscious Mind contains the knowledge of all ways and means and times, and you may rest your problem there with the surety that it will be answered with perfection. Do not keep examining the pot to see if the water is boiling. You don’t have to double-check God. Don’t make up your mind that your path should lead in a certain direction and then be disturbed because you find it is leading elsewhere. Know that your every step is unerringly guided on a perfect route to your destination. Whatever you consider to be a side road is not a side road at all but the best of all possible paths. Hold fast and faithfully to your conviction.” Uell S. Anderson

Live First my friends!

Great words by Uell S. Anderson

What a lesson that can be taken from such a small being. That power of energy that’s within us all. Think about the next time you enter a room and you see someone you dislike. Can that person feel that energy? What do you think you are getting back? When you can look at life as a 6 month old again and love every minute of it, wonder what life would give you back. In life, you get to tell the story, and it depends on the story you tell as to how your life will unfold. There is an old saying, “if you tell a lie for so long it won’t be a lie at some point”. Well, if your life isn’t going the way you would like it, then tell a different story. Even if you don’t believe it at first, keep telling it, and eventually it will come true.

You get back what energy you put out, so smile as much as you can and be ready for life to give you reasons to smile at it!

Live First my friends…..

Too many of us only enjoy this moment once a year. It is sad that when the holidays pass we tend to revert back to what was “normal”, and our lives are taken over again by work, schedules, meetings, and what we have to get done for that day or week. We think that we have to get back to our jobs and make up the lost time from enjoying the moment, spending too much money, and getting a fresh start to a new year only to revert back to our so-called reality…….until next year, we say!

Let me tell you something that I believe will grab your attention. I believe that when we are born into this world we are given all that we need. Not one, but everyone that is conceived, has everything that we need to be joyous each and every day of our lives. I believe that our gift was to make each day a “holiday”! It was the intention for our lives to be lived without regret, without suffering, and with all the prosperity that we could imagine. This can be done with a slight change of thought, and it can be seen in the holidays that are right around the corner, that this can be done on a grand scale. Just sit and notice the change in the air when Thanksgiving and Christmas are approaching and notice the change in people. It is all accomplished by a slight change in thought. That thought has a common theme. GIVE and enjoy the reactions of others by your gifts!

Now, picture a mass of people crowding the malls, calling to see if they can hide gifts, getting that last-minute surprise, the feeling of wrapping that something special for that someone special, and the anticipation of your gifts being opened so that you can see the reaction of your “thoughts” making someone happy! Now keep that same picture in your mind and see if you can apply that to everyday life. When the holidays are gone could you muster up that energy that you had to make someone’s day on a daily basis? I think that you can, and I think that we all must! Think of that feeling that you get when you know you found that perfect gift for your loved one, and apply it daily. It feels good, so why wouldn’t we want to feel that each and every day?

When you can start your day with the intention of making that day for someone else you are, in essence, making that day for yourself. You are creating that life of giving, so in return, life starts to find ways to give back to you! This is the way of life that we all need to adopt. Live First and the life that we are wanting for others will become ours in the matter of moments and in those moments you will be filled with the joy of living everyday like Christmas!

Enjoy your holidays like you have never enjoyed them before! Live First my friends……
