DR. JOE VlTALE This is really fun. It's like having the Universe as your catalogue. You flip through it and say, "I'd like to have this experience and I'd like to have that product and I'd like to have a person like that." It is You placing your order with the Universe. It's really that easy.

Your life right now is a reflection of your past thoughts. That includes all the great things, and all the things you consider not so great. Since you attract to you what you think about most, it is easy to see what your dominant thoughts have been on every subject of your life, because that is what you have experience

If you can think about what you want in your mind, and make that your dominant thought, you will bring it into your life.

The law of attraction is really obedient. When you think of the things that you want, and you focus on them with all of your intention, then the law of attraction will give you exactly 14 The Secret what you want, every time. When you focus on the things that you don't want — "I don't want to be late, I don't want to b

The only reason why people do not have what they want is because they are thinking more about what they don't want than what they do want.

The law of attraction doesn't care whether you perceive something to be good or bad, or whether you don't want it or whether you do want it. It's res-ponding to your thoughts. So if you're looking at a mountain of debt, feeling terrible about it, that's the signal you're putting out into the Universe. "I feel really ba

The law of attraction is a law of nature. It is as impartial as the law of gravity.

Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts.

Your thoughts determine your frequency, and your feelings tell you immediately what frequency you are on. When you feel bad, you are on the frequency of drawing more bad things. When you feel good, you are powerfully attracting more good things to you.

LISA NICHOLS The first step is to ask. Make a command to the Universe. Let the Universe know what you want. The Universe responds to your thoughts.

BOB P R O C T O R What do you really want? Sit down and write it out on a piece of paper. Write it in the present tense. You might begin by writing, "I am so happy and grateful now that..." And then explain how you want your life to be, in every area

LISA NICHOLS Step two is believe. Believe that it's already yours. Have what I love to call unwavering faith. Believing in the unseen.

The Universe is a mirror, and the law of attraction is mirroring back to you your dominant thoughts. So doesn't it make sense that you have to see yourself as receiving it? If your thoughts contain noticing you do not have it yet, you will continue to attract not having it yet

If you won a lottery or received a large inheritance, even before you physically had the money, you know it is yours. That is the feeling of believing it is yours. That is the feeling of believing you have it already. That is the feeling of believing you have received.

BOB PROCTOR If you do just a little research, it is going to become evident to you that anyone that ever accomplished anything, did not know how they were going to do it. They only knew they were going to do it.

You don't need to know how it's going to come about You don't need to know how the Universe will rearrange itself How it will happen, how the Universe will bring it to you, is not your concern or job.

LISA N I C H O L S Most of the time, when we don't see the things that we've requested, we get frustrated. We get disappointed. And we begin to become doubtful. The doubt brings about a feeling of disappointment. Take that doubt and shift it. Recognize that feeling and replace it with a feeling of unwavering faith. "I

A dear friend of mine, Marcy, is one of the greatest manifestors I have seen, and she feels everything. She feels what it would feel like to have what she is asking for. She feels everything into existence.

She doesn't get caught up in how, when, or where, she Just feels it and it then manifests.

Imagine life as a fast-moving riven When you are acting to make something happen it will feel as if you are going against the current of the river. It will feel hard and like a struggle. When you are acting to receive from the Universe, you will feel as if you are flowing with the current of the river. It will feel eff

JACK CANFIELD Think of a car driving through the night The headlights only go a hundred to two hundred feet forward, and you can make it all the way from California to New York driving through the dark, because all you have to see is the next two hundred feet. And that's how life tends to unfold before us. If we just t

You most likely know of someone who is thin and eats like a horse, and they proudly declare, "I can eat whatever I want and I am always the perfect weight." And so the Genie of the Universe says, "Your wish is my command!"

Like Aladdin's Genie, the law of attraction grants our every command. • The Creative Process helps you create what you want in three simple steps: ask, believe, and receive. • Asking the Universe for what you want is your opportunity to get clear about what you want. As you get clear in your mind, you have asked. • Bel

will summon it to you. • It takes no time for the Universe to manifest what you want. It is as easy to manifest one dollar as it is to manifest one million dollars. 68 • Starting with something small, like a cup of coffee or parking spaces, is an easy way to experience the law of attraction in action. Powerfully intend

People are amazed at how I line up parking spaces. I've done this right from when I first understood The Secret. I would visualize a parking space exactly where I wanted it, and 95 percent of the time it would be therefore me and I would just pull straight in. Five percent of the time I'd have to wait just a minute or

"When you say to yourself 'I am going to have a pleasant visit or a pleasant journey/ you are literally sending elements and forces ahead of your body that will arrange things to make your visit or journey pleasant. When before the visit or the journey or the shopping trip you are in a bad humor, or fearful or apprehen

A lot of people feel stuck or imprisoned or confined by their current circumstances. Whatever your circumstances right now, that is only your current reality, and current reality will begin to change as a result of beginning to use The Secret Your current reality or your current life is a result of the thoughts you hav

When you want to change your circumstances, you must first change your thinking. Every time you look inside your mail expecting to see a bill, guess what — it'll be there. Each day you go out dreading the bill! You're never expecting anything great. You're thinking debt, you're expecting debt. So debt must show up so y

Expectation is a powerful attractive force, because it draws things to you. As Bob Proctor says, "Desire connects you with the thing desired and expectation draws it into your life." Expect the things you want and don't expect the things you don't want. What do you expect now

Most people look at their current state of affairs and they say, "This is who I am." That's not who you are. That's who you were. Let's say for instance that you don't have enough money in your bank account, or you don't have the relationship that you want, or your health and fitness aren't up to par. That's not who yo

we're constantly living in this residual, if you will, of the thoughts and actions we've taken in the past. When you look at your current state of affairs and define yourself by that, then you doom yourself to have nothing more than the same in future.

Every man knows that when his wife is appreciating him for the little things that he does, what does he want to do? He wants to do more. It's always about appreciation. It pulls things in. It attracts support.

I think everybody goes through times when they say, "Things aren 't working right," or, "Things are going had." Once, when there were some things going on in my family, I found a rock, and I just sat holding it. I took this rock, I stuck it in my pocket, and I said, "Every time I touch this rock I'm going to think of s

Two weeks later I got an email from him, in South Africa. And he said, "My son is dying from a rare disease. It's a type of hepatitis. Would you send me three gratitude rocks?"

They were just ordinary rocks I found off the street, so I said, "Sure." I had to make sure that the rocks were very special, so I went out to the stream, picked out the right rocks, and sent them off to him. Four or five months later I get an email from him. He said,

My son's better, he's doing terrific." And he said, "But you need to know something. We've sold over a thousand rocks at ten dollars apiece as gratitude rocks, and we've raised all this money for charity. Thank you very much." So it's very important to have an "attitude of gratitude."

that I'm grateful for." So every morning when I get up in the morning, I pick it up off the dresser, I put it in my pocket, and I go through the things that I'm grateful for. At night, what do I do? I empty my pocket, and there it is again

I've had some amazing experiences with this idea. A guy from South Africa saw me drop it. He asked, "What is that?" I explained it to him, and he started calling it a gratitude rock.

Knowing the law of attraction, I wanted to really put it to use and to see what would happen. In 1995 I started to create something called a Vision Board, where I take something that The Secret I want to achieve, or something that I want to attract, like a car or a watch or the soul mate of my dreams, and I put a pictu

He asked, "What's in the boxes, Daddy?" And I said, "Those are my Vision Boards/' He then asked, "What's a Vision Board?" I said, "Well, it's where I put alt my goals up. I cut them out and I put all my goals up as something that I want to achieve in my life." Of course at five and a half years old he didn't understand

Feel the feelings of having those things now. As you receive, and feel gratitude for receiving, you can remove pictures and add new ones.

You can let your imagination go wild with a Vision Board, and place pictures of all the things you want, and pictures of how you want your life to be. Make sure you put the Vision Board in a place where you see it and look at it every day as John Assaraf did

Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it's possible for you. And then close your eyes every day for several minutes, and visualize having what you already want, feeling the feelings of already having it. Come out of that and focus on what you're grateful for already, and real

Expectation is a powerful attractive force. Expect the things you want, and don't expect the things you don't want.

Gratitude is a powerful process for shifting your energy and bringing more of what you want into your life. Be grateful for what you already have, and you will attract more good things.

Giving thanks for what you want in advance turbo-charges your desires and sends a more powerful signal out into the Universe.

Visualization is the process of creating pictures in your mind of yourself enjoying what you want. When you visualize, you generate powerful thoughts and feelings of having it now. The law of attraction then returns that reality to you, just as you saw it in your mind.
