There has been a lot of talk about “The Secret” and the Law of Attraction in the media lately. I imagine that many of you who have purchased the book and watched the video are thinking about the concepts. I also think that there are quite a few of you that think it is all hogwash. For me, my thoughts correlate specifically to what I am experiencing.

When I thought I was only worthy of jerks in my life…I attracted jerks. My parents can attest to some of the jerks I fell in ‘love’ with. Funny, as I look back even if a ‘good guy’ came into my life, I took actions that pushed him away. I would blame him, but truly it was me and my ‘stinking thinking.’

I look back and see how what I was thinking created what I was receiving. I also see the times when I had a used my power to manifest what I wanted. Once upon a time, after doing some work on myself, I decided I was ready for a great guy in my life. Shortly thereafter, I met my future husband (we have been married for 23 years). The times I decided to dedicate myself to make money for the company I worked with I did, fairly easily. The times I pictured myself wearing something special, I found myself finding exactly what I wanted, usually on sale.

I created, and continue to create, what I want in my life - both the good and the bad. Over the last several years I’ve sought to master my thoughts so that I can be more pro active in my life. This process has required lots of support from coaches, authors, friends and support groups. I have had to be willing to have the courage to change old beliefs and thought patterns. It has taken a tremendous amount of courage on my part. I have exposed my deepest fears and beliefs to people who think and behave a different way and in that process I have changed. I have become more powerful, more confident and more aware of my value and worth.

What does this mean to you, the employer, the leader, the business owner or student? It means that each and every one of us hasn’t begun to experience the full depth of our own power. You have the ability to ask for what you want, receive it and then ask for more. I know that when I feel negative, it is usually because I am having a bad thought, a thought that is not supporting me or making me feel powerful. In the past I thought that was how it was and to accept it, now I know that I have the power to change that thought, instantaneously, to a thought that makes me stronger, more powerful, more confident and positive.

This month I’ll share some of the techniques and kick butt actions that I use to change my thoughts and receive what I want, the benefits of powerful, confident, positive thoughts.

By the way, I don’t do touch feely, I am interested in actions and activities that are productive, profitable, pleasing and fun. Why? Because, “I’ve Got The Power!”
