Applying the Secret

If you're like me, you were mesmerized and inspired when you first saw The Secret and began learning about the Law of Attraction. The question is, have you had success applying this new found information in your life. Are you a conscious creator? Are you accountable for the events in your life?
I can say I'm a believer, and yet have not reached a point where I feel my results match my intentions. This leads me to reflect on why that may be, and I believe the answer is understanding how my thoughts are affecting my actions and results. Obviously, the results we produce in life, are the result of our collection of life experiences and the beliefs we formed about them. I know that I come from a very much industrial age philosophy that money is the result of hard work, and much effort. While I don't currently believe that to be necessarily true, on some level this must be my underlying belief. If it wasn't, I would have an overflowing bank account, and abundance in all areas of my life.
So how do we go about changing beliefs? Some will say, and even teach that it can be as simple as just releasing and letting go of those limiting beliefs. Again, I'd like to use that process as it seems the simplest, although in my experience it is more involved than that. I think the answer, is to change our environments, and the information we process on a daily basis. Try turning your TV, and radio off for an entire month and see how your life changes. We are inundated on a daily basis with death, distruction and turmoil. Eliminating this negative energy from our lives is a great step in the right direction. Chosing to read inspirational and motivational books every day, listening to audio programs while you drive, and seeking out mentors will do wonders for developing new habits and therefore new results.
Make a decision today to be in charge of your life's events. Be an active participant rather than a casual observer. I don't believe that one's life happens, I believe that one makes their life by the thoughts they think, and the actions they take. Take actions today to make your life in line with your passions.

Have a great day,
