Chapter 5 Fears Defeat and Action

If we take a look at where a lot of fears come from it may help in removing them. Often the fears we have are from other people’s sayings, thoughts and beliefs. They are not even our own. They often aren’t. They are other people’s beliefs. Think about that for a moment. Are you going to let something that someone said all those years ago control you now? I sure hope not.

Chapter 9 Power of Belief

I want to stop here for a moment. Remember, I stated that I am giving you the best and most complete information I can? Some of the great books can lead you down the wrong trail here and there. This does not make them bad books. It just means after you learn what I teach, you can read the books with a more educated eye and discard the bad or incorrect information others have given. Some say this bad information was given on purpose to keep the bulk of the population from being very successful. I really hope that isn’t true. However, whatever the reason I will tell you to be aware of this.

Some books state that you should make your dream big. Make them huge. I absolutely disagree with this point. Understand this, there is no such thing as large and small in the universe. Only your beliefs make it so. However, back to my point, if you make your dream so big that you have no belief that it will come true then it won’t manifest. It can’t come to reality, it just can’t, and you must believe it can come true for it to do so.

Chapter 15 Further Information and Answers

In this chapter I am going to address some situations that may come up. It is sort of a question and answer section where I hope to touch on any concerns you may have along the way.

Right off the top, here is one I often get asked. Michael, what if I’m doing everything right and things don’t work out for me? Chances are this won’t happen however, if it does give this some thought. First thing to consider, are you feeling good. If you are feeling good and I don’t mean just acting like you are feeling good but you really do feel good, then if something doesn’t work the way you think it should, sit back and give all of these factors consideration.

Do you really know the 4 Keys? Can you write them down off the top of your head? Are you applying them?

Do you even know what you want? If you have no direction and you expect an outcome then how can the universe get you there? You must have that one primary thing that you want. Focus on that thing as often as you can throughout the day with power, feeling good, for at least 2 to 3 minutes each time. Understand this; you must have one primary goal. I have seen too many times where people don’t focus on that one thing and become obsessed about having it. They scatter their thoughts over too many things and do not give any one dream much power.

Are you doing all the things we talked about?

Reading and re-reading this book. A little tip. I read my own book often. Yes, it is a good reminder for me even though I wrote it.

I will touch on relationships for a moment. I plan to write another book on attracting the love of your life. It is such a big topic.

I decided I would join one of those free online dating sites. I met the odd lady who was very nice. This one lady though, she was amazing. She was sweet and we really hit it off. I thought that she was a very good possibility. I was careful not to use my teachings to swing her my way. I kept focused on the things I wanted out of a relationship. It turned out that she wasn’t interested in me, at least not enough. I then re-read all the things I wanted in my love. She fit a lot of the things I wrote about but not all of it. In fact, some of the most important things to me were missing. So you see I was blinded by her sweetness and how well we got along. I know she will make some other man very happy, just not me. Had I forced the issue using the techniques to attract her specifically, we would have had a mediocre warm relationship. Not one of passion that I have now.

A reminder about positive and negative energy. It is true that positive energy is much stronger than negative energy. However, consider this, if you put out what you don’t want in a very strong manner filled with anger and the wrong side of passion then of course you will get that.

More about what I call nudges. Some call this intuition or perhaps inner voice and I’m sure there are lots of other words for it. Gut feel is another one. Whatever you wish to call it, here’s how it works. When you want something and you really desire it, you are burning to have it. You need to be aware of nudges from the universe.

One of my clients sent me an email saying she overheard someone in an airport talking about playing a slot machine. Something inside told her that was a good idea. She didn’t even know how to use one. The voice in her head told her to bet $20. Well she couldn’t bring herself to quite spend that much so she put $5. Of course she won. She was not as excited about the winnings as she was that she followed her little voice and saw results. I can’t tell you how proud I am of her that she learned this lesson.
