The Secret Page #7

But the point I want

to make is that

I was attracting into my life

all these different events

including this person.

And to make a long story short,

I did not make a hundred

thousand dollars that year.

We made ninety-two thousand

three hundred and twenty-seven dollars.

But you think we were like

depressed and going,

"This doesn't work"?

No, we were going,

"Whoa, this is amazing!"

And so my wife said to me

"Wow, if it works for a hundred thousand,

do you think it'd work

for a million?"

And I said, "I don't know,

I think so. Let' s try it."

And my publisher actually wrote me a check,

it was a royalty check,

for our first Chicken Soup

for the Soul book.

He actually put a smiley

face in the signature

cause it was the first million dollar

check he'd ever written.

And so I know from my own experience,

because I wanted to test it,

does this Secret really work?

And we put it to the test.

It absolutely worked.

And now I live my life from that,

every single day.

Well, I can just imagine what a lot of people

that are watching this are thinking.

And that is, how can I attract

more money into my life?

How can I get more of the green stuff?

How can I get more of

wealth and prosperity?

How can I, when I love my job,

deal with the credit card

debt that I have

and the realization that maybe theres

a ceiling on the money that can come in,

"cause it's coming to me through my job?

How can I bring in more?

Intend it!

This goes back to one of the things we've

been talking about throughout the whole

Secret.

Your job is to declare

what you would like to have from

the catalogue of the universe.

Well, if cash is one of them,

say how much you would like to have.

I would like to have

twenty-five thousand dollars,

unexpected income,

within the next thirty days,

or whatever it happens to be.

It should be believable for you.

Most people have a goal

of getting out of debt

Thatll keep you in debt forever.

Whatever you're thinking about

you will attract.

You say, but it's get out of debt.

I don't care if it' s

get out or get in,

if you're thinking debt

you're attracting debt.

Set up an automatic

debt repayment program

and then start to focus on prosperity.

So many times people say to me,

"Well I'd like to double my

income in the next year".

But then you look at their actions

and they're not doing the things

that are going to make

that happen and,

you know, they'll turn right

around and they'll go,

"Well I can't afford that".

Ok, guess what,

"Your wish is my command".

As you are fussing about

not having enough money,

as you are talking to your friend

about not having enough money,

as you are feeling unhappy

about not having enough money,

you are actually activating

within yourself,

or continuing the activation

of a thought,

that is very different from

the desire that you have launched.

What it just comes down to is,

you just can't want more money

and focus upon not enough.

When I first understood

The Secret

I was getting bills,

every day I would get a bunch

of bills in the mail.

And I thought how do I turn this around?

The Law of Attraction states,

that what you focus on

you will get.

So I got a bank statement,

I whited-out the total,

and I put a new total in there.

I put exactly how much I

wanted to see in the bank.

What if I just visualized checks

coming in the mail?

So I just visualized,

a bunch of checks coming in the mail.

Within just one month,

things started to change.

And it's amazing.

Today I just get checks in the mail.

I get a few bills, but I get

more checks than bills.

I grew up on you have to

work hard for money,

you have to work hard for money.

And so I replaced that with,

money comes easily and frequently.

Now in the beginning it feels

like a lie, right.

There was a part of your

brain that will say,

"Oh you liar, it's hard."

So, you have to know this

little tennis match

that will go on for a while.

When it comes to creating wealth,

wealth is a mindset.

It's all about how you think.

I'd say 80% of my coaching that

I do one on one with folks,

is about their psychology

and the way they think

I know when people are listening they say

"Oh, well you can do it, I can't."

Every person has the capability

to change the way

their inner relationship

and conversation with money.

I find so many people who

maybe make a tremendous amount

of money,

but their relationships stink.

That's a technical term,

by the way.

And that's not wealth,

it really isn't.

You know, you can go after the

money and you might get rich,

but it doesn't guarantee

you'll be wealthy.

I'm not suggesting that money

isn't a part of wealth,

it absolutely is,

but it's only a part.

And then I meet a lot of

people who are,

quote unquote, "spiritual',

but they're sick and broke

all the time.

That's not wealth either.

Life is meant to be abundant.

In all areas.

Many people in Western culture

are striving for success,

they want to have the home,

they want their business to work,

they want all of these things.

But what I found in my research

is that having those things

certainly doesn't guarantee

what we really want,

which is happiness.

And that's when all those

outer things come.

They don't come from going after

them first to get happiness.

It's backwards.

You go for the sense of inner joy,

of inner peace,

of inner vision, first,

and then all the other things

from the outside appear.

The Secret means for me

actually that

we are creators of our universe.

And that every wish of what

we want to create

will manifest in our lives.

Therefore it's very important

what you wish,

what your thoughts are,

what your feelings are,

because it will manifest.

Now, one day I went into somebody' s home

and he was an art director,

a very famous film producer.

And in every corner

he had this beautiful image of a woman,

a naked woman, dressed with a fabric,

kind of doing this, kind of saying

"I don't look at you, I don't see you",

you know

And I said,

"I think you have trouble in your romance."

"Are you clairvoyant or something?"

"No, but look. Seven places,

you have exactly that woman."

"But I love that kind of painting.

I painted it myself."

"That's even worse," I said,

"because you put all your creation

and creativity in it."

Now he's this gorgeous looking man,

he has all these actresses around him,

because that' s the work he does,

and he doesn't get romance.

I said, "What do you want?"

"Well, I want to date

three women a week."

"Okay, paint yourself with three women,

and hang it in every corner."

Six months later I see him in Europe,

and I said,

"How is your love life?"

"Great! They just call me,

they want to date me."

"Because that' s your wish."

"Now I have like three dates a week.

They're fighting over me."

"Good on you."

"But I really want to stabilize

a little bit.

I want marriage, I want romance."
