Have you ever found yourself working on a project and nothing is going right?

I recently found myself struggling with a new project I’m working on. Everything seemed so difficult and I simply wasn’t making any progress.

I took some time out, got a cup of tea (yes, I know, terribly British of me) and read a few emails.

One inspired me to write a post at my Bob Proctor’s Science of Getting Rich site because it hit home with exactly what I was experiencing at that time.

I’d found myself paddling upstream, fighting everything instead of getting in the flow.

The universe was telling me I was working on the wrong project.

And here’s the real hard bit; the real challenge; the do I or don’t I moment

Should I trust my instincts and my heart and what I was being told or should I carry on with the project regardless?

It’s easy to reach a conclusion to go either way but much more of a challenge to actually see the decision through.

1. Sticking with the project (we’ll call in Project one)

• That would entail more struggle – I still wasn’t progressing

• It would be the obvious thing to do as I was sure I was on the right path

• It would mean some toying with the idea of spending money on a top quality copywriter or to try to come up with a masterpiece myself. And that’s not my forte nor was I getting any inspiration as to0 the angle I needed

• It would be easier to go on with something I was already working on rather than find something else

2. Postponing the project and moving on

• I could easily accuse myself of jumping ship

• I could argue I was flitting from idea to something better that wouldn’t get completed either!

• I didn’t know what the alternative project was at that point!

• It may be much easier to complete

The balance looked in favour of completing the project I was working on, but something kept niggling away and I decided I would look to go with the flow.

As soon as that decision was made things “miraculously” started to fall into place!

One of the DVDs  I was planning on promoting (Project one) contained some live footage of Bob Proctor (The secret). I decided to watch it or rather I was “attracted” to watch it.

That led me to follow up on a reminder that popped up on my screen to revisit the Science of Getting Rich affiliate program.

Something was at work and I found I was definitely in the flow. I quickly created a new site, a new blog post promoting the site and I initiated a Synnd campaign to generate the Social Buzz I wanted around the project. I’d set up a new autoresponder series and created an opt-in on the blog.

All within a few hours of making the decision I should not be struggling but going with the flow.

I’m now writing an e-book for that project and the words are flowing.

And the real revelation?

I’ve seen how simply I can fit Project One into the back end of the new project.

So thanks to that one email, Bob Proctor’s Science of Getting Rich program and a leap of faith I took a massive leap forward with not only the project I was struggling with but created a new one virtually out of thin air to go with it.

I love this law of attraction thing sometimes!

So many people have seen The Secret film and “hope” that it’ll work for them. But, despite their wishes nothing has changed. So why is that?

I came across this article which had me captivated from start to end:-

The past few years, with an absolute peak in 2006 as the movie ‘The Secret’ was exposed to hundreds of thousands, an ever growing number of people is slowly waking up to the knowledge that there may just be more to life than the often robot-like existence of daily routines they lead.

With movies like ‘The Secret’ and ‘What the Bleep Do We Know’, and books like ‘The Attractor Factor’ by Joe Vitale and the resurfacing of ‘The Law of Success’ by Napoleon Hill, people increasingly realize that they can have much more success in life, if only they knew ‘the secret’ that all these sources talk about.

Still, although hundreds of thousands of people have seen the movie ‘The Secret’, why are so few people living their ultimate lifestyle? Why aren’t all those people living the success they long for so bad? The success that all these movies promise them? Is there an additional secret to movies like ‘The Secret’?

The obvious answer is ‘yes’. If there weren’t, every person having seen the movie ‘The Secret’ would be living the lifestyle of their dreams, would be ‘attracting’ everything they long for, and would be ‘manifesting’ everything they desire into their lives ‘without any conscious effort’.

At least, isn’t that what you would think after watching movies like ‘The Secret’?

Let me tell you what the problem is, what is also the cause of so many people still not achieving their desires and dreams, and what is also the additional ‘secret’ or ‘edge’ to the movie ‘The Secret’ and others. The problem rests in a psychological phenomenon called ‘selective retention’.

In simple terms, ‘selective retention’ means that you only remember the things you want to hear. In other words, you filter out the things you’d rather not hear. Let’s relate this to the contents of movies like ‘The Secret’ and other films and books with regard to this subject.

What we can agree upon is that all these movies like ‘The Secret’ and books like ‘The Attractor Factor’ are about a Universal Law called ‘The Law of Attraction’. According to the Law of Attraction, you can supposedly attract and manifest anything you want or desire into your life, based on what you focus your thoughts.

That’s the secret, according to the movie ‘The Secret’.

What I can tell you upfront is that the Law of Attraction is real, but only to an extent. There are very important nuances to its application, which movies like ‘The Secret’ either don’t tell you about, or which you filter out through the psychological process of ‘selective retention’.

The actual nuances and details of the application of the Law of Attraction are a subject to be discussed at another time and another place. For now, it’s important to realize and acknowledge the one thing that most people are missing from movies like ‘The Secret’ and the whole range of other products dealing with the Law of Attraction.

You see, movies and books dealing with the Law of Attraction often overemphasize the word ‘effortless’. You are led to believe that you can attract things and manifest things into your life without any conscious effort from your side.

Quite likely, ‘effortless’ is exactly what you want to hear. Who wouldn’t like to do nothing while bringing about the most profound changes? People are hardly ever satisfied with their circumstances, so they desire change.

However, although they desire change, at the same time they resist change. Sounds like a paradox, but it’s true. Because as soon as any effort is required to actually make the change they desire come about, or to overcome the resistance experienced to make that change come about, people ‘cop out’. Do you recognize that?

Maybe you do, or maybe you don’t. But that’s exactly why so many people don’t achieve any success, although they’ve seen the movie ‘The Secret’ and supposedly know about ‘the secret’.

Through their ‘selective retention’, the only thing that they remember and engrain is that ‘no effort is required’, and they filter out the part that says they should actually take inspired action. As a consequence, many people think that if they just think positively and try to focus on positive emotions most of the time, everything they desire will magically manifest into their lives while they’re sitting on the couch watching movies like ‘The Secret’ and ‘What the Bleep Do We Know’.

They think suddenly some distanced relative they never heard of before in their lives, will leave them a legacy of millions of dollars while they’re eating potato chips and ice cream, as they keep on watching the movie ‘The Secret’.

Or they visualize themselves as a Scrooge McDuck-equivalent, swimming around in a pool of money. Perhaps they include the Money Bin too. And they expect a big bag of money to fall out the sky.

As a side-effect, they get bigger and unhealthier, and more and more miserable because nothing happens to make their lives better. Apparently, even a movement has come about that believes that you can apply the Law of Attraction to create a body they’ve always dreamed about. They think they’ll look lean and muscular without effort through ‘attracting’ their dream bodies by visualizing how they want to look. I kid you not.

Let’s reintroduce some common sense. Butt sitting never got anyone anywhere. The Law of Attraction that the movie ‘The Secret’ and other sources are about is real, but to reap its benefits and seize its fruits, you need to know how to apply it in your life, and you need to know the nuances to its application.

You can’t just start thinking positive thoughts and feeling positive emotions and wait for all your desires to magically pop up while doing nothing. That’s the missing link to achieving your success from the knowledge of the movie ‘The Secret’ and other films and books. The true secret is ‘inspired action’.

Doing nothing doesn’t help you. You need to act. You can get clear on your intention and then go do something else to get your mind off it. It’s during those moments of ‘silence’, the moments that you’re not obsessed with what you want, that you suddenly get ideas, inspirations, hunches and so on. You must act on those inspirations.

The ‘act of acting’ alone will make you turn on the switch of the Law of Attraction, so to speak. Then, through an interplay of other Universal Laws that the movie ‘The Secret’ and a whole range of books on the Law of Attraction forget to mention, the Universe will start rearranging itself according to your thoughts, emotions and actions. You’ll get new ideas, meet new people, stumble upon new knowledge, and so on, all of which you can use in your actions that lead you to your envisioned goal step by step, through a chain of events.

And that’s how the changes you desire come about.

Your job is to recognize what exactly to act upon. For that, you need to know exactly how the Law of Attraction works in reality, in conjunction with other Universal Laws, and how things actually manifest into your life so you actually recognize your opportunities. There’s not a great number of other Universal Laws, only a few main Universal Laws that automatically cover all minor and subsidiary Universal Laws.

By understanding the nuances of the application of the Law of Attraction in conjunction with some few other universal principles (or Laws) as boundary conditions, you can make all your dreams come true. You just need to overcome your ‘selective retention’ and acquire the knowledge of just the few additional nuances you must understand to really achieve the things that the movie ‘The Secret’ and others talk about.

True enough, it does require some effort, but by applying these Laws correctly you make the Universe work with you, instead of against you. And as you ‘get the hang’ of this application, the conscious effort required from you will keep on decreasing.

But you’ll always need to act. Nothing is going to happen if you don’t act. That’s the additional secret to the movie ‘The Secret’. You just need to learn how to bring those inspirations about, how to recognize them, and then what to act upon.

And there are simple ways to do that.

Welcome to the Revolution.

====== Nicholas P. Kidd and Henk J.M. Schram are the instigators of the alleged ‘Great Revolution’, which provides the members with truthful instructions regarding the universal principles of life. The Revolution is receiving increasingly widespread attention for its straightforward explanations and instructions with regard to complex issues, which are made understandable for people from all walks of life. In essence, the true secrets of the ‘Law of Attraction’ and the other ‘Universal Laws’ are explained in much clearer and practical ways than the ‘enigmas wrapped in riddles’ that usually characterize the descriptions of the Law of Attraction and its application.

You’ve heard of hypnotic marketing.

Well the guy who is credited for creating the term, Dr. Joe Vitale who appears in the film The Secret, has been using hypnotic marketing for years.

He is actually a trained hypnotist but his marketing methods don’t actually put you in an altered state in the accepted sense. You know “look into my eyes, you’re under” approach.

No, he uses hypnotic language in his sales letters – words that touch deep emotions inside us and stimulate us to take action.

I’ve read several of his books and I’m convinced he is absolutely right. Rather than reading some boring, monotone style Joe uses rich, descriptive language and loves to tell stories in his work.

Now he just announced he has passed 100,000 sales online. That is a massive achievement and to mark the occasion he is giving away his own Internet success formula in his FREE “Hypnotic Marketing Crash Course”

Now those sales he has generated, over 100,000, are for himself not a big corporation and I think we could all learn a thing o two from somebody with so much success.

Take a look at his crash course in Joe’s 4-Step Internet Success Formula, and see how it not only works for him, but has generated millions of online
sales for his students as well.

Joe shows how to create massive traffic and sales online using the same 4-step integrated marketing strategy he uses.

You’ll also learn:

- The simple little trick Dr. Vitale used to get 20,000 new visitors to his site from one blog post in a single day?

- The Top 5 “Web 2.0″ sites to use in your marketing right now? (and how even a newbie can get get started using Twitter & Bookmarking)

- The 4 components of the integrated Internet business?

Dr. Vitale will walk you through a hugely successful website with an unheard-of 13.9% conversion-rate (for over 10,000 visitors!) breaking down what makes it work, and explaining why.

He also reveals whether you should you use a headline that can’t be answered. (you may be surprised!) and much more in 98-minutes of brand new training.

The Secret TV promises a life of abundance but do you sometimes feel you’re on a road to nowhere?

You’ve watched the movie and have learnt a bit about the Law of Attraction but still there’s no change in your life.

I honestly believe the film has done a mis-service to so many people.

It may have awoken them to the Law of Attraction but like everything else in life there’s a lot more than just being aware. Take a simple word – application.

Yes, I’m afraid without application – or more directly – ACTION or doing something about it, nothing is going to happen.

You need to accept that the Law of Attraction WILL work. What you focus on WILL manifest itself in your life so you need to ensure you focus on what you really want. But…

You also have to be very aware of what turns up. If you’re focusing on money – it is very unlikely a wheelbarrow full of notes will be left on your doorstep.

More likely, an opportunity will present itself to you. An opportunity for you to make money. It may be a new job, a chance meeting with someone or an article you read that stimulates an idea. It will come but you have to be open to following up on that opportunity.

And that’s where The Secret has left so many people short changed. I honestly think there are thousands if not millions of people around the world who are just hoping it will work, that a cheque will arrive in tomorrow’s post.

From the secret tv this video clip is really motivational. Watching each day is a great way of focusing and keeping positive. But, again the warning, watching this without taking any action will not create the things you want in your life.

Bob Proctor, who is part of the cast of The Secret, has a program called Science of Getting Rich and offers a free 7 part email course that will get you started thinking deeper about the law of attraction and what it really takes to make it part of your life.

I’ve followed this course myself and found it a great help. Not only does it cover the Law of Attraction it shows how to gain control of your thoughts, how to clarify your goals, manifest whatever it is you seek BUT it also discusses a pet subject of mine, how to get into the right mindset to achieve success.

It’s a great course, delivered to you by email in installments. Recommended.

Hope you enjoy the video above and watch it often.

I visited the British International Motor Show on Saturday as part of my process for helping the Law of Attraction (you will have heard about this in The Secret) work in my life.

For it to work for me I need more than just thought. I need to see and feel, to smell and live the things that I want in my life. So a visit to see some of the best cars in the world makes perfect sense. But that’s not the point of this post…

There is so much more to The Secret than first appears obvious. It is possible to attract anything you want into your life and the best way is to start small and build your belief that it works.

In my free report – The Best Four Letter Word – FREE download at top right of this page – I give three examples of this working in my life long before I had any idea what was really happening. On Saturday, I noticed some incredible things, even though I wasn’t trying. It all comes naturally to me now. The difference is that now I know why these things occur.

Let me ask you some questions:

• Do you find people are always polite and helpful to you?
• Do people always smile when they meet you? I mean, ticket collectors, service staff, stewards etc.
• Do people go out of their way to help you, without you asking?

Whether you realise it or not, you control those things.

I always have a big smile and a few words to say to everyone. Not about the weather but something personal to them.

The response is brilliant. I get upgrades, I get special service, I get extra help but above all I get smiles. The benefit to me is I feel happier and good about myself. And that starts the attraction process. The next person I meet is already pleased to meet me.

Tills open and I get called to the front of the line. Coincidence? You may think so but I know differently.

Give it a try. I promise you it works.

On Saturday I had a great time with about 8 people I’d never met before. They all went out of their way to give me extra help.

• Instead of just pointing “it’s over there” I was escorted where I wanted to go.
• Rather than being left to collect the jacket I left behind, I was remembered and found amongst hundreds of people.
• Instead of a grunted thanks I had a great laugh & joke with people who looked bored & disinterested in their jobs.

Most people would just walk straight past the ticket collector. They would never have any interaction and would not fire themselves or the other person up with a smile.

It takes only about 20 seconds to make someone feel great. And you’re the ultimate beneficiary. How good is that?

Another persons attitude is a reflection of your own.

Now here’s my revelation about The Secret and the Law of Attraction in general.

For years I’d stand in front of the mirror in the morning repeating my affirmations and waiting for my life of wonder to appear.

Strange it never did.

Jobs offers appeared, business opportunities came and went but that earth shattering change in my fortunes remained elusive.

In the Secret Movie (you can watch part of the movie below) we are told that really successful people kept the secret to themselves so that others couldn’t copy what they were doing.

It didn’t matter – nor would it today.

That’s because most people will never do anything with the information even when they know the secret!

The Secret will not work on its own. It needs action. It needs each of us to do something other than chant affirmations, think positive thoughts or focus on what we truly want.

Sure, without those ingredients what you want may never arrive but even with them unless you take action nothing will ever change.

So start small, attract a few great people into your life. Take some positive action, smile and say a few kind words and really mean them.

The secret law of attraction really isn’t such a secret!
