Intention and Attention IS the Secret
There is NO secret to The Secret. It is constantly working for you NOW and has been since you were born. There is NOTHING mysterious about it. The movie just served to bring it to a greater number of peoples’ Attention.
It works like this: First is your Intention. Whatever is in your Mind CONSTANTLY will be created or manifested. So if you hold in your Mind the debt on your credit card, you will have debt on your credit card just as you will have more health if that is what you hold in your Mind. It is incredibly simple!
Consequently the first step is coming to real-ize what it is You INTEND to create.
Second is your Attention. Whatever is being held in your Mind is what you are Attending to. In essence you are welcoming it, making a place for it to ‘Enter and make Itself comfortable’. It is that simple.
So you have a choice: Let Others’ thoughts come and go at THEIR behest or You welcoming thoughts and their resulting manifestation by holding in your Mind Your thoughts at YOUR behest.
The Key to the Secrets is You entertaining the thoughts that match your conscious Desire and then letting your Subconscious get to work.
Control your thoughts or someone else will.

“May You Live In Interesting Times”
Everyone is familiar with this Chinese “curse”. The implied meaning is that interesting times are turbulent and troubling times and that it is better for things to go along at a peaceful pace. Undisturbed and harmonious.
Well of course it is. But are you aware that the Chinese pictogram for “danger” is the exact same pictogram for “opportunity”?
What do you make of that?
I’ll tell you what my take on it is. The Chinese, being a 5,000 year-old civilization, should know a thing or two about wisdom and double-meanings and metaphors.
And when you think about it, danger to one is another one’s opportunity. Just as one man’s ceiling is another man’s floor. And a half-empty glass is also a half-full glass too.
And, uh . . . ahem . . . interesting times are accursed times.
Have you noticed that the Mayan calendar is running out in, oh . . . only 22 months?
And that Earth’s magnetic north pole is moving towards Russia at the rate of 40 miles each year?
And that birds are dropping from the sky in huge numbers? And that the frequency of earthquakes as well as UFO sightings are on the uptick?
And today it was reported that baby porpoises were washing up on the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, cause unknown but suspicions lean towards the BP oil spill.
I am not making light of these occurrences, only meaning to point out this profound truth: Earth, WHICH ESSENTIALLY MEANS WE HUMAN BEINGS, is at a crossroads. And a crossroads means a CHOICE.
Now I don’t know about you but having a choice excites the heck out of me.
Why?
BECAUSE CHOICES ONLY CONFIRM THAT OUR LIVES AND DESTINIES ARE IN OUR HANDS.
Don’t you feel empowered now, instead of threatened? I do.

Believing IS Seeing
Let’s use the ever useful “Half-Empty or Half-Full glass” question. And what most of us have been taught to do: See first, then believe our eyes.
Seeing first, and describing LITERALLY what we actually do observe, we see that the glass is BOTH half-empty AND half-full AT THE SAME TIME. Isn’t that so?
But by CHOOSING to BELIEVE first that the glass is EITHER HALF-EMPTY OR HALF-FULL makes whichever condition we attend to SO. Not that the other condition isn’t so AS WELL, but that it isn’t BELIEVED, so it isn’t SEEN to be so.
Now try this in your life. The next time you’re facing an argument with a loved one, or a colleague, choose what to attend to. Choose what to believe first, and see what you see. Then articulate that or it won’t become REAL.
Remember LANGUAGE creates REALITY.

Don’t Work On Yourself. Simply Take On Something Bigger.
In my last post I wrote that there is nothing to be done or thought, that we are each “perfect” already and that we had just to allow ourselves to be who we already are.
Here’s an expansion of that. Let’s take on the concept of Mastery. Because while I do believe we each are “perfect” and that we should not work on ourselves, there are areas of our lives that we have yet to Master.
So how can we accomplish that?
By taking on something we do not yet know how to do. Something bigger than us.
Until you or I are willing to take on what we do not yet know how to do will we put ourselves in the opportunity to transform. And it is in the very process of getting it done that we grow .
This does NOT negate our current “perfection”. Nor is the work suggested here to be done on ourselves but rather on the situation at hand. Only by taking on such a “game” that we don’t know yet how to “win” can we develop Mastery . . . of Ourselves!

Whatever You Do, DON’T WORK AT IT!
There is nothing to be done. Or thought.
You are perfect as you are if you’d only allow yourself to BE who you ARE.
Maybe that’s why the idea of Personal DEVELOPMENT makes some people cringe.
What do you think?

Freeing Yourself From Upsets
I have been quoting from the excellent book What You Think is What You Get by George Lavenia. The following has helped me immeasurably when talking with prospects for my business.
We spend most of our lives trying to control. manipulate, change, or totally avoid what arises in life. We feel as though life is something we have to contend with on a daily basis. This struggle is like being on a roller coaster with endless ups and downs. However, life itself is constant change. If you forget that, you will suffer over the very changes themselves. By holding onto your idea of how things should be, you become the cause of your own suffering. All that is required to free yourself from life’s upsets is to stop judging the experiences that come up for you.

Is It Work or Play?
Why not both?
I had always envied those people who were able to say they “never worked a day in their life.” That everything they did seemed like play to them and whatever they played at they were able to get paid for!
Talk about a Holy Grail! Or hitting a lottery!
Can’t tell you how many self-development books I read and CDs I listened to or how many seminars I attended trying to wring out the secret these people held.
I was stumped until I read this and real-ized how elegantly simple the solution is:
“The difference between work and play is nothing more than your preconceived idea about the activity. It may sound crazy but it’s true.
“The way you feel about doing something is directly related to the way you think. By choice, you are the one who determines the amount of enjoyment you get out of your pursuits. In fact, you can get satisfaction from everything you do by giving yourself totally to all of your endeavors. However, the only way you can experience that kind of freedom is when you no longer associate survival with what you’re doing. That way, you’re not attached to the outcome, which means you have nothing to lose.
“Now here’s the whole thing in a nutshell. If you have nothing to lose, there’s no fear, and if you have no fear, you’re free – free from any idea associated with what you do.
ONCE YOU GIVE UP YOUR CONCERN
ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE DOING,
YOU CAN BE FREE OF FEAR,
AND THAT’S THE ONLY
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WORK AND PLAY.
“By letting go of your concern, you are free of your mind’s influence. Then and only then can you get as much enjoyment out of work as you do from play. Then you can come from enjoyment rather than trying to find it. It is that simple!
“As you can see, the way you experience something is totally up to you. To use this knowledge is your birthright - your right to create the experience of joy in your life.”
And joy in your work. Or is it play?
- Quoted with deep gratitude to George Lavenia, from his book What You Think is What You Get.

The Power of Intention
I’ve written before about the Power of Intention when coupled with the Power of Attention. Together they are what constitutes the Law of Attraction.
Did you ever feel like you had to go to some family affair but your heart was just not in it? You were convinced from the start that it would be a huge drag and waste of your time. But you went. And guess what? It was!
Have you ever looked forward to one of these get-togethers anticipating seeing cousins or a favorite aunt or uncle that you hadn’t seen in a long time and so expected to have a great time? And you did!
“Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.” So said Henry Ford. And he was talking about the Power of Intention.
Sticking with our example of looking forward to seeing your long missed relative and expecting you will enjoy the visit, where do you think your Attention will be once you arrive? Probably seeking them out, don’t you think?
Put it in your mind you’ll have a great or terrible time, and you’re programming yourself to do just that. This is what the Power of Intention is all about.
With the Intention of enjoying seeing them and the attentive action of going to the affair, you’ve guaranteed your good time.
Do you think this might work on a larger scale, daily, in your life and work and other relationships? You might not have real-ized this yet, but the outcome you expect and intend to have is very often the one you get.
How do you feel about that?
Have a wonderful and joyous Thanksgiving holiday, intent on appreciating all your blessings. And you will!
