A Lesson From Earl Nightingale….

January 8, 2009

       I first learned a concept over 15 years ago so instrumental to my success  that it has, literally, changed my life.  At that point in time, I was a big fan of Earl Nightingale (even though he passed away a decade before) and what he taught made a lot of sense.  For those of you not familiar with Earl, he was considered the “Dean of Personal Development” in the 50s and 60’s.  What was the concept?  Simply that you become what you think about all day long.

       The current bestseller “The Secret” which is all about the Law of Attraction is based on this concept.  The premise of the Law of Attraction holds that “like attracts like” and that what you focus on in your mind will manifest in the physical world.  In other words, if you simply think about becoming wealthy  and hold that focus in your mind this premise holds that you will eventually manifest wealth.  This is not to say that you don’t have to take action to bring what you want about.  You do.  The universe will leave you “bread crumbs” that will give you clues about what to do to manifest what you want.

       Although this is a somewhat simplistic introduction to this idea I have found that my thoughts truly do create my reality.  This is especially relevant for dealing with this recession we’re currently in.  I, personally, do not choose to focus on the lack of money or resources  that a recession brings.  Rather I tend to focus my thoughts on gratitude for what I already have.  I realized that while the country was slipping into economic decline in 2008 I had my best year financially EVER in my career!  I know some of you are probably saying that yesterdays paydays will not pay todays bills and you are right.  But I firmly believe that if I focus on what’s possible and what’s in store it will come to pass.  It always has.  I have already manifested my career, my house and the lifestyle I live today because of my thoughts.  You can too.

       You and I both know that this recession is a blip on the radar screen and we will survive it.  Their may be some tough times ahead for some of us but we WILL pull out of this.  Keep your thoughts focused on what is possible and what you DO want not what you DON’T want.  Your thoughts DO create your reality and you truly CAN have whatever you want!

Until Next Time,

Tim
