Kindle Notes & Highlights
You become what you think about most, but you also attract what you think about most.
Thoughts become things!
If you want to change anything in your life, change the channel and change the frequency by changing your thoughts.
Make your last thoughts before going to sleep good thoughts.
“I am the master of my thoughts.”
Your thoughts become things.
you’re not sure how you’re feeling, just ask yourself, “How am I feeling?” You can stop and ask this question often during the day, and as you do you will become more aware of how you’re feeling.
Remember that your thoughts are the primary cause of everything.
You have the power to change anything, because you are the one who chooses your thoughts and you are the one who feels your feelings.
You cannot harm another with your thoughts, you only harm You.
you think thoughts of love, guess who receives the benefits—you!
“Life is so easy! Life is so good! All good things come to me!”
Daily mantra
The first step is to ask.
What do you really want? Sit down and write it out on a piece of paper. Write it in the present tense. You might begin by writing, “I am so happy and grateful now that . . .” And then explain how you want your life to be, in every area.
Step two is believe. Believe that it’s already yours.
You don’t need to know how it’s going to come about. You don’t need to know how the Universe will rearrange itself.
How it will happen, how the Universe will bring it to you, is not your concern or job. Allow the Universe to do it for you.
“I know that it’s on its way.”
Step three, and the final step in the process, is to receive.
You can start with nothing, and out of nothing and out of no way, a way will be made.
your life will keep unfolding. And it will eventually get you to the destination of whatever it is you truly want, because you want it.
Trust the Universe. Trust and believe and have faith.
“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929–1968)
thoughts are primary cause of everything, and the rest is effects from those thoughts.
It’s all about what’s going on in your mind. It’s about what we put in place, saying, “This is big, it’s going to take some time.” And, “This is small. I’ll give it an hour.”
You can see clearly how important it is to think in advance every event in every day.
If you have been chasing your tail with thoughts of not having enough time, from now on declare emphatically, “I have more than enough time,” and change your life.
The Creative Process helps you create what you want in three simple steps: ask, believe, and receive.
Create your day in advance by thinking the way you want it to go, and you will create your life intentionally.
“That a man can change himself . . . and master his own destiny is the conclusion of every mind who is wide-awake to the power of right thought.”
As Bob Proctor says, “Desire connects you with the thing desired and expectation draws it into your life.”
“All that we are is a result of what we have thought.” Buddha (563 BCE–483 BCE)
MARCI SHIMOFF Gratitude is absolutely the way to bring more into your life.
Every man knows that when his wife is appreciating him for the little things that he does, what does he want to do? He wants to do more. It’s always about appreciation. It pulls things in. It attracts support.
If you only do one thing with the knowledge of The Secret, use gratitude until it becomes your way of life.
“The daily practice of gratitude is one of the conduits by which your wealth will come to you.” Wallace Wattles
it’s very important to have an “attitude of gratitude.”
As Bob Proctor advised in the first step of the Creative Process, Ask, start by writing down what you want. “Begin each sentence with, I am so happy and grateful now that . . .” (and you fill in the rest).
Think about the inventors and their inventions: The Wright Brothers and the plane. George Eastman and film. Thomas Edison and the light bulb. Alexander Graham Bell and the telephone.
Your picture in your mind is seeing it as done. Your feelings are seeing it as done. Your mind and your entire state of being are seeing it as already happened. That is the art of visualization.
“Everyone visualizes whether he knows it or not. Visualizing is the great secret of success.” Genevieve Behrend (1881–1960)
“We all possess more power and greater possibilities than we realize, and visualizing is one of the greatest of these powers.” Genevieve Behrend
“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.” Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
Feel the feelings of having those things now.
Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it’s possible for you. And then close your eyes every day for several minutes, and visualize having what you already want, feeling the feelings of already having it. Come out of that and focus on what you’re grateful for already, and really enjoy it. Then go into your day and release it to the Universe and trust that the Universe will figure out how to manifest it.
(One of the secrets is that when you have an inspired thought, you have to trust it and act on it.)
“I can afford that! I can buy that!”
If you want abundance, if you want prosperity, then focus on abundance. Focus on prosperity.
“Money comes easily and frequently.”
When it comes to creating wealth, wealth is a mindset. It’s all about how you think.
