What is Your Level of Awareness????

I have recently come across some interesting findings on success. I used to think extremely successful people had some sort of “success gene”, that they were born with some innate know-how on how to achieve great things. However, with a lot of reading and studying I have come across some principles of success and have come to realize that these people, these extremely successful people are not born with this knowledge, they acquire it! This means that success and the science of creating success is something that we can all learn, study and master. The study of success is a science, it has predictable outcomes. What you put in to it comes out in the tail end.


Here are some interesting definitions of success:

“Success is not just being important, it is being significant.” –author unknown

“Success in life is becoming what you truly want to be”. – Wallace D. Wattles

“Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.” -Earl Nightingale


So how does one learn to become successful and achieve the results their desire? They learn and study the science of success; they learn and study the habits of successful people. In most cases this practice involves raising your awareness, habituating the practice of goal setting and planning and learning to focus on the present.

Did you know that it has been said that most individuals only spend 1% of their life focusing in the present? Most people do not focus on their current tasks and activities. They are thinking about their past; the fight they had last night with their significant other, the children’s soccer game after work, the weekend plans, etc. They do not allow and demand of themselves to actually fully be and act in the present. Did you know that it has been said that only 2% of the population actually thinks creatively? In addition, 3% of individuals think that they think, and 95% of the population would rather die than think? Since thought has been linked to results and understanding that mental activity does not constitute as thinking, this means only a small percentage of the population really understand and uses the power of creative thinking to fast forward to their goals and realize their ideals. These are the people that are extremely successful, they choose their results.

So how does one become more aware and learn how to work at their full potential and realize their goals? They progress through the seven levels of awareness. These levels are as follows:

Our first level of awareness is our animal awareness, this level is innate, we are aware of ourselves and others, we are aware of the needs to sustain life.

The second level of awareness is the mass level. This is where an individual's awareness remains quite limited. Their decisions are based upon what everyone else is doing, they do not think for themselves. They conform, they follow the masses. The majority of people, more than half are at this level and stay at this level their entire life time. These individual do not use creative thought. Most of them are not happy with their current results. The third level of awareness is aspiration. This is where an individual becomes aware of deep feelings and desires that may be different than that of what everyone else is doing and they start to explore these feelings, desires and thoughts. They are wanting more, they want further growth and development professionally and personally, they aspire to be more. This is when they want to break away from the masses and become an individual. This is when we aspire to learn more, to become better people, to serve our family, friend and community better.

The fourth level of awareness is the individual level or stage. This is where a person uses creative thought to create their own identity statement; this is the who, what and the why, their ultimate purpose in life, their own personal “because”. This is the level where they figure out their passion, their goals, their dreams and their plans, and this purpose is unique to that individual. These are the individual reasons and purposes that drive us.

A fair percentage of individuals make it to these 3rd and 4th levels, unfortunately for many, limiting beliefs, poor self esteem, lack of confidence, feelings of doubt or other negative emotions keep many people here and they are unable to break free to the next levels of awareness. These individuals who remain in these levels never really quite get the results they desire or reach their goals efficiently or timely.

The next level of awareness is discipline. This is where an individual becomes aware of how to use thought, goals, planning, and desire to manifest the outcomes and results they want. Those with discipline to stay on course, steadfast towards their goals, no matter what is happening around them or what other people (the masses) are saying to or about them, those that learn, study, practice and habituate the science of success and wealth reach this level. Many drop out here and fail to progress beyond this point due to lack of discipline, or give up too soon before their results manifest, often times just before they reach their goals. Those that move on to the next level of awareness practice these habits of success are rewarded.

Stop a moment and take an opportunity to think about why we want to aspire for more, it is to better serve others and to live a fuller life. Those individuals who have a strong desire to do things better move forward through the various levels of awareness. The 6th level of awareness is experience. Through the study and habituation of the skills and knowledge of how to become successful and wealthy, and through steadfast discipline, one will begin to see how the process works. When they see the results they desire manifest, they will become stronger in how they practice and do more of the same. When they do not see the results they desire, they will change what they are doing, practice with discipline until they see the results they desire.

The 7th level of awareness is becoming a mastermind. Only a very small percentage of the population reaches this point. These individuals have learned the science of success, they understand how the science and process works, they have fine tuned their practices and habits based on their experience and are extremely effective at attracting success, resources, people and even wealth. They are very effective and efficient in reaching their goals, receiving their desires and manifesting the results that they want. They choose their results.

Think of the capacity of helping others, serving others better and achieving your desires, when you can choose your results. Think of the positive impact you can have on your life and other peoples' lives when you are a mastermind. Every one of us reading this article has the mental facilities and capacity to become a mastermind.

Changing the personal effects and your patterns of success at work is more important than you might think. The cost of negativity in the workplace is around $3 billion annually, according to an estimate by the U.S. Department of Labor. Not only are negative work environments costly for your company -- they're also taxing on your health and quality of life.

A FAT Attitude? A FIT Attitude? What??

Here is what I call a FAT Attitude:
Is your attitude truly and fully FAT? I like to think of a complete attitude as one that is strong, effective, inspirational and attractive. It is one that has an alignment of Feelings, Actions and Thoughts. Our attitudes are said to be a composite of our thoughts, actions and feelings. When one is working with a fully FAT attitude, they are seeing the results that they imagine and desire, they are winning, they reach their goals continuously and effortlessly. They are successful in every way.

But many times I see individuals with incomplete or ineffective attitudes, as their attitudes are not fully FAT, meaning they may have positive thoughts, thoughts of a high vibration and yet their feelings are not the same or their actions do not reflect these thoughts.

For example, a person may think they are being positive and say positive things, but they have feelings of doubt and/or limitation deep inside of them in their subconscious. Or they think positive thoughts and perform actions that are in opposition to their thoughts. These people are not working with a strong and effective attitude; it is an attitude that is not complete or fully FAT. These people are not seeing the results that they want, they are not winning. (examples) Are you working with a FAT attitude?

Here is what I call a FIT Attitude
I also like to think of a full and complete attitude as FIT. A fully FIT attitude is one that has an alignment of Feelings, Intuition and Thoughts. I love the saying that Prayer is when a person talks to God or their Higher Power. But intuition is God or our Higher Power talking to us. A person who has a strong intuition listens to the guidance and Divine inspiration that is running through them. Many people work very hard at developing and maintain a strong sense of intuition. I do. I work at it, daily. So, a fully FIT attitude will be one that is strong and effective because their feelings, intuition and thoughts are all in alignment and they are all working with high, positive vibrations. A person who has a FIT attitude will also see the results that they imagine and desire. They are winning; they also reach their goals on continuously and effortlessly.

I see individuals who are thinking positive thoughts and feeling good, but they ignore that intuition, that Divine guidance and inspiration. It is that Divine guidance and inspiration, the message from your God or Higher Power that leads you to perform inspired actions. It is the actions that ultimately provide you with your results and your condition, circumstance and environment.

First Universal Law

Universe means literally “one verse” or “one song”. Harmony by definition means “compatibility, in opinion and action; a harmonious state of things in general and of their properties (as of colors and sounds); congruity of parts with one another and with the whole”. What is important is to understand is that co-creating new results in your life, attracting abundance; affluence, which means “being in the flow”; wealth which literally means “well-being”; prosperity, which means “according to hope”, optimal health and meaningful relationships requires that you consistently live in harmony with the Laws that govern the Universe. Quite literally you must work in accordance with these Laws and not against them-whether it is a conscious effort or a subconscious one. Changing your life, your current results and manifesting your dreams are dependent on it.

If there is an area of your life that you seek to change, you want different results I strongly recommend taking the time to study these laws, write down on a piece of paper each one of these laws and how you can change your thoughts, feelings and actions to work in harmony with the laws. Do this for each area of your life that you seek change.

The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy:
This Universal Law states that energy moves into physical form. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it changes form. Change is energy’s only attribute, energy is always changing. This Universal Law means that all persons have within them the power to change, improve, and even dictate the conditions in their lives. The images you hold in your mind are the ones that most often materialize in your life.

Higher energy always consumes and transforms lower energy, just as light overtakes the dark when you turn on the light in a dark room. The key here is that we live in an ocean of motion; energy is changing forms continuously in our lives. Something is moving into form in your life right now and you have the ability to dictate what is moving into form in your life, when you understand these universal laws. Every one of us can change the energies and therefore physical manifestations in our lives by understanding this Universal Laws and applying the principles in such a way as to effect positive change.

“Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine”. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Finally--How the Law of Attraction Really Works: Here is the Real Secret

"Regardless of your particular spiritual or religious background, for most of us it is undeniable common sense that somehow, in some way, everything is connected with everything else - that there is a powerful source in the Universe from which everything flows. Your key to manifesting your desires in your life is learning how to effectively connect to and harness this incredible power and put it to work for you.

Everything in the Universe is composed of Energy of one form or another, including your thoughts. According to the discoveries in Quantum Physics, all forms of matter and energy are attracted to that which is of a like vibration. As it applies to the Law of Attraction, you attract what you put your energy and focus on, consciously or unconsciously - whether wanted or unwanted. As you'll learn, it's a bit more involved than that - but that's the basic idea.

"Within each life lies the cause of whatever enters it."-- F.W. Sears, How to Attract Success, 1914

You see, it's been scientifically proven that thoughts are energy. They can actually be measured. I'm sure you've seen pictures of people with all of those electrodes hooked up to their heads.
Because everything in the Universe iis composed of energy, and is therefore connected, each thought that you have has a direct effect on your physical reality. You may find this concept hard to accept at first, especially if it is new to you. Most of us go through our lives feeling as if we are at the mercy of external events – we believe that things ‘happen to us.’ We find ourselves in situations not of our own choosing, people treat us unfairly, or life itself treats us unfairly. But what I have come to believe, to know really, is that things don’t just happen to us - WE ATTRACT THEM.

Virtually every event and every aspect of our lives, whether we consider it good or bad, is exactly what we have (either consciously or unconsciously) directed the Universe to bring into our lives. What ‘happens’ to us is the direct result of and the manifestation of what we focus on.
The problem is, for most of us, we are continually using The Law of Attraction to bring into our lives more of the things we don't want, instead of the things we do want. This is because most people do not understand how to effectively and correctly harness this powerful force.

For example, say you really want to get out of debt. You may spend your time dwelling on how large your bills are, how much money you owe - you may even think to yourself, "I am going to get out of debt," or say a prayer asking God to help you find a way to pay off your bills.

The problem with this is that you are still focused on your 'lack' of what you really want. You are focused on your debt - on your pile of bills. What the Law of Attraction does in this case is simply deliver to you or perpetuate more of what you are focusing on - debt and bills. The key is to learn specific techniqes to change your focus to what you really DO want, not what you don't want. It can be a difficult task, changing your thinking. But I have devised a step-by-step system that teaches you EXACTLY how to do this with ease!

The Law of Attraction is perhaps one of the most difficult life principles to accept, because by doing so you are accepting that you are truly in control of your life – that where you are right now, your life experience, is the direct result of your own thoughts and actions. You are accepting full responsibility for your life.

It’s not your parents’ fault, it’s not “luck” and it’s not “fate.” We each make a choice at every moment of every day what we will attract or allow into our lives. Where you are right now is not necessarily good or bad - it just is. The Universe doesn’t have an opinion on what you choose to draw into your life. It simply delivers to you what you consciously or unconsciously focus on with strong emotion and intense belief - ALWAYS, EVERY TIME.

"Spirit is substance which forms itself according to your demands, and must have a pattern from which to work. A pan of dough is as willing to be formed into bread as biscuit. It makes little difference to Spirit what we demand."- Frances Larimer Warner,Our Invisible Supply: Part One, 1907

The exciting thing is that once you learn how to do this - how to use The Law of Attraction effectively in your life - your life will change DRAMATICALLY and INSTANTLY"

FREE Report on Reversal of Law of Attraction

The Law of Vibration and Attraction: You can use it to increase Health, Wealth (which means well-being), prosperity (which means "according to hope") and cultivate your meaningfull relationships.

This law may be considered by many as the law of laws... everything is energy, our thoughts our energy. Everything vibrates, our thoughts vibrate. Positive, passionate, inspired thoughts vibrate at high energies, where as thoughts of anger, fear, depression, anxiety or competition are low energy vibrations. Nothing rests, not even inanimate objects.

Conscious awareness of your thoughts or of vibration is called feelings. When you feel good, you are vibrating at higher frequencies, when you feel bad you are vibrating at lower end frequencies.

Your thoughts control: your paradigm, your environment---your results. Your thoughts dictate that which you attract to you, good things with high vibrations or more bad with lower energy thoughts and vibrations. But remember you can choose your own thoughts and therefore your own results.

Your ability to earn money, attract optimal health of the right people in your life is directly affected by the manner in which you work with this law. In so far as money, or health or success is concerned, how do you plan to work with this law? What changes will you make?

List 10 things that you will do from this day forward in order to work in harmony with this law to secure success, more money, better health or improved relationships.Remember it is important to practice having good thoughts, and feeling good.

So when you feel bad, do something to help you think of something pleasant so you raise your thought vibrations and start to attract more good to you. Listen to uplifting music, personally I pull out my SGR program MP3 player and listen to it to get my thoughts back in positive vibrations or I pull out my Dr Dyer program on inner peace and the power of intention. (http://www.success-innerpeace.com/) The important thing is that you become aware of your feelings and therefore your thoughts. That you change your thoughts and therefore your vibrations to positive ones and higher frequencies.

This is how you master this law and attract more good and abundance (good health, wealth, success, relationships) to you. Stay in the positive higher energies, find what it takes to help YOU get and stay there... you have to find this out for yourself, resources are provided and recommended on this blog, they are all very recognized, respected and effective, but you have to try out what works for you, and use this knowledge to work in harmony with this universal law.

Top 7 Universal Laws for Abundance, Health and Success

The universal laws.... something that I was unaware of until about 3 years ago... are the laws of which the universe works by. By living in Harmony with these Univeral Laws you can improve anything in your life. But understand this, if you want to see changes in your life, you must understand and study these laws, it is the understanding and application of wise thoughts that count!

If you would like new results in your life, better health, better relationships, more wealth, freedom and success, then you must think, feel and act in harmony with these laws.

Here is an excert from the Secret Science of Getting Rich program presenting these universal laws. I found this program powerful and most instructive, I strongly recommend you participate in some program to learn these laws to opimtize your life, your health, your success, your love and your dreams...

I will post some resources at the end of this post....

there are many to choose from, please do decide to act and start learning and working in harmony with these laws and as Dr. Dyer always says... "when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change", meaning these laws work, they absolutely work, guaranteed, when you start to work with them, your life will change, guaranteed.

Now from the SGR program, as written by Bob Proctor:" There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches (may I personally add this is true for love, relationships, optimal health, success of any kind... what ever you desire, there is a law that determines the outcome). Once you learn and obey these laws, you will auotmatically become a member of the select group of people who live "The Secret" and you will get rich (or be successful in whatever you desire (nbm)) with mathematical certainty.There is but one Great Law: namely, "Energy Is" or "God Is".All physical and mental science is based on this one great law and its 7 subsidiary laws which operate in co-ordination with each other. "

Here are the Universal Laws:
1) The Law of Perpetual Transmutation
2) The Law of Relativity
3) The Law of Vibration (Law of Attraction)
4) The Law of Polarity
5) The Law of Rhythm
6) The Law of Cause and Effect
7) The Law of Gender

The best definition of Natural Law seems to be that "it is the uniform and orderly method of the omnipotent God."Additionally, unlike any other form of animal life that has been created, we were given the power of choice or free will."Remember these universal laws and the law of attraction are always working, whether you believe or understand them, the truth is in your current results. You can change your results, just learn these universal laws and apply them to your life. Then think it, feel it and do it and you will attract everything you need, this is the great Secret of life!"

I have researched and found some additional universal laws, I will post those soon!

Decisions Determine Destiny: Check Your Attitude Here!

Our decisions determine our destiny!!! Our attitudes determine our results! Our attitude also determines what and who we attract to us and how we live. You are responsible for your current results... you-only you. Every result in your life is the effect of your prior thoughts, feeling and actions - which have manifested in front of you in your life as physical results. If you want to change any of your results.... your health, wealth, freedom, meaningful relationships, you have to go on the inside and really take a look at your thoughts, feeling and actions. This is where you must look to see where and what you need to change in order to change your results. But understand this---you can change and improve anything in your life. Just learn how to go inside, learn how to live in harmony with the universal/spiritual laws. Learn to work with these laws, not against them and you will absolutely see immediate changes and better results in your life.

The problem is most people invoke these spiritual universal laws the wrong way:

We all need to raise our conscious awareness and learn to look inside, express your creative energies and live more fully. Learn that the law of gratitude keeps you in harmony with receiving abundance. Understand the law of circulation means that receiving is good, giving is better and learn to not hoard your acquisitions or bank account. Understand that the law of cause and effect may just be the law of laws...what you sow, so shall you reap, what you put into the universal returns to you...concentrate and focus on all the good you can give..and give without effort, never thinking about what you will receive...give willing and feel how good it feels to give! Learn the law of attraction, everything in this universe vibrates, what you think, feel and how you act will determine what and who you are attracting into your life. Learn to use this law to work for you, raise your vibration, live well---- live abundant in health, wealth (which means freedom and well being), create meaningful relationships and be so grateful for all the good that has come to you and is coming to you!

Attitudes: An Abundant Attitude

Why not choose to live with an abundant attitude, one that thinks, feels and acts as if the Universe is abundant and there is only infinite opportunities and possibilities. As we grow, or develop in mind, body and soul, as we become more self aware of our life purpose, goals and passions we recognize one of our spiritual responsbilities is to move into one-ness with the universe/God, our higher power. With this we move beyond living in an emotional reactive way to challenges in life to cultivating positive emotions as our habits. We learn to respond as opposed to react. We remain steadfast in our vision, focus and goals no matter what happens. We have a knowing that everything we need is already here or will come to us, that we can tackle anything that comes our way. We simply live as if life is meant to be abundant and that abundance is already here, we are already connected to it.

What this means is we learn to love even when we don't feel love, we are kind and generous, even when we would ordinarily complain or hoard, and we hold an image of abundance and never focus on lack or what we do not presently have, we live in a continous state of gratitude, even if we wouldn't ordinarily feel particularly thankful. Successful people, make feeling love, joy, optimism, hope, abundance and gratitude their way of being, their habit. After gaining a conscious awareness and with some work overcoming the conditioning that they grew up with, they make thinking, feeling and acting with an abundant attitude their life and way of living.

Our attitudes are our mental stances, they determine everything that comes to us, everyone we attract and they ultimately determine our results. Our attitudes are the glasses from which we view the universe and see the world. Do we see abundance, love and joy or do we see lack, poverty and fear? We can change the way we see the world by changing our thinking, by cultivating a positive attitude. When we live in joy, acquire hope, see only abundance and possibility, we begin to remake our world and we can literally change our conditions, our results and our place, simply because our attitudes have changed.

My favorite quote from Dr. Dyer says is all, "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change."

Additionally, the tremendous benefit of living with an abundant attitude, in faith and gratitude is that it keeps us connected to the universe and all that is providing. It is the recognition of this connection that is often the point of illumination and time when one opens up to the flow of abundance, the more grateful we are, the more of an abundance sense of life we will experience.

The more you cultivate the abundant attitude, even if you don't feel it, the more you consciously improve or change your attitude, the more you will feel it. The more loving we feel, the more love we receive, the more giving we are, the more that is given to us, the more abundant and successful we feel, the more success will be attracted to us, the healthier we feel, the more health and vitality we will experience. The more thankful we are, the more we experience the joys and richness of spirit that grateful feelings produce.

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. it is a catalyst..a spark that creates extraordinary results."

When you live in harmony with the law of attraction and other universal laws, you can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.......

"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be do. One day I shall dig my nails into earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return."

- Mary Jean Iron

I love to feel the blessings of an ordinary day, when I do, I feel so much more joy and fulfillment. I feel the love and gratitude flowing through me, then the day becomes extraordinary. And you know what, that is when the magic happens, things just turn out better, "lucky" things happen. But in reality it is the universal laws at work, the law of gratitude, law of attraction and the law of cause and effect. Focus on what you can give back to the world, and you will be rewarded.

Top 10 Ways to Live Stress Free Life!

Stress, we all know it and know what it can do to us. It can ravage our bodies causing disease and disability. It can reak havoc on our minds, confusing us and directing us to live in fear and anxiety. It can ruin relationships if we let it. It can take attention away from ourselves and the things in life that are most important.

I have found, in success and obtaining optimal health, finding inner peace, and reducing stress is absolutely critical. Here is a summary of the 10 step process Dr. Dyer presents:Here is a 10 step process for creating a stress-free and tranquil life.

1) Remember that your natural state is joy. You are a product of love and joy, learn to stay in harmony with these feelings.

2) Your thoughts, not the world, cause your stress. (wow...That one is powerful!)

3) You can change your thought of stress in any given moment and eliminate the anxiety for the next few moments, or hours or days. This is a conscious effort that develops out of awareness. Increase your awareness, your power of mind and reconnect to the universe.

4) Monitor your stressful thoughts by checking on your emotional state. How are you feeling??? Did you know your feelings are actually your vibrational state...so when you are feeling good you are in a high vibration, when you are feeling bad, you are in a low vibration. So feeling good is iportant as that high vibration is what attract good things and optimal health to you, you are keeping your body in harmony. That is well being, that is optimal health. That is the place where healing takes place.

5) Make a conscious decision and choice to select thoughts (and results) that activate good feelings.

6) Spend some time observing babies, and vow to emulate their profound joy.

7) Keep your ego in check. Refer to "Rule number 6". (Don't take yourself too seriously..lol)

8) Accept the guidance of your source of intention.

9) Practice silence and meditation or self hypnosis. (I personally needed help with this so I am including some programs that can help: http://www.selfhypnosisforlife.com/ , http://www.hiddensecretprogram.com/ , http://www.6-weeklifemakeover.com/ )

10) Stay in a state of gratitude and awe of all the abundance, love, joy and good that comes to you.
