SELF-IMPROVEMENT
2 Powerful Secrets About Dream Boards and Your Subconscious Mind
A long time ago, a wise man once told me, when you want something, I mean REALLY want it bad, you have to create a system for attracting it!”
Intrigued, I wanted him to tell me more, but in the back of my mind, I thought he was going to tell me to start a business or something like that.
What he told me, transformed my way of thinking and has been one of the pivotal points of change in my life.
He said, “You have to create ways for your dreams to manifest themselves in your mind, then they will become reality.”
“Go find some pictures of the things you want and paste them somewhere where you can always see them…
A “dream board.”
…Then imagine yourself having it and living it.
…When you are 100% certain you will have those things, you are sure to receive them.”
Now, I was younger at the time and far too immature to appreciate what he said.
But, he was a multi-millionaire!
He also told me about the importance of writing down your dreams and desires.
In recent years, I have applied some of what he had told me, and thinking back, I have indeed achieved most of what I had wanted.
A couple weeks ago, I began to recreate my “dream board” – selectively finding and pasting all of the things that I desire and putting it on a wall in my office.
Needless to say, I have already begun to attract those desires.
You see, being older and wiser I now know what he was trying to tell me.
He was trying to explain the Laws of the Universe and how being in harmony (mentally) with these laws, you can and will attract ALL of your desires.
A “dream board” allows you to do 2 very important things…
1. It allows you to have a place to focus your thoughts and visualize your desires, while tapping into the universal energy that we all possess and have access to.
2. It gives you the ability to get transcend your anger, fear, and negative thoughts because all you should be thinking is what you see on your dream board.
I know that creating a dream board for yourself will not only help you get more focused on your desires, but also help you get past limiting beliefs.
Your subconscious mind is where this all starts.
It is where these inner-powers reside and lay dormant until you move them with your thoughts.
It is s scientific FACT that this is real.
Think about this…
All things are made up of energy.
We’re talking way past the cellular level – and way past the atomic level.
Everything is made of pure energy, just combined in different ways.
The energy that is creating your fingertip this very moment, exists in all times (past, present, future) and can exist in different places.
The same holds true for your thoughts.
What you see in your “minds eye” is actually in existence!
The way you experience it depends on YOU and your focused thoughts.
So start creating a dream board and focus on your dreams and desires with your subconscious mind.
But remember, the Universe will open the path to getting to your dreams and desires, it is up to you to walk the path.
Your subconscious mind has the power to multiply your ability to create your dreams and desires.
Law of Success: Integrity
Are you in integrity with yourself? Each day as you live your life you have internal conversation that only you know about all day long. When you tell yourself that you’re going to do something and you do, you stay in integrity with yourself. Staying in integrity with yourself is essential to the Laws of Success.
How do you fall out of integrity with yourself? When you make a commitment to yourself to do something and you don’t you are out of integrity with yourself. It doesn’t seem like a big deal after all it happens to everyone now and again. The problem is that when you fall out of integrity with yourself you now add a seed of doubt to your subsequent commitments in your mind. Now when you make a commitment to yourself there’s that little voice of doubt in your mind that says, “you won’t do that, you didn’t do it the last time you said you would and you won’t now either”. This little voice of doubt begins to echo louder in your thoughts when you aren’t even thinking about the commitment itself.
Your focus begins to be on the wrong thing, so the wrong thing becomes a reality. As your mind keeps replaying the message that says you won’t fulfill your commitment you fulfill the non-commitment versus the commitment. Your mind is trained on all the reasons something won’t work, and not on the opportunities to make it happen, so those opportunities pass unnoticed by you never to return.
Your lack of integrity with yourself can start with the smallest seemingly insignificant things. Have you ever been late for an appointment? You made a commitment to be somewhere at a specific time, and then for various reasons you end up getting there late. Bingo, being late is another example of being out of integrity with yourself because you didn’t fulfill your commitment. Now not only are you out of integrity with yourself, but you’re out of integrity with another person. Your long-term success is built on the foundation of your integrity with yourself and others.
Realize how integrity impacts your success. Ok, so you’ve made it a habit to break your commitment to yourself and others; now what. Start a new habit of not making commitments you can’t keep. This requires giving all commitments careful consideration before making them or agreeing to them. Once the commitment is made take all the proper steps to make sure you can fulfill the commitment. No matter what Law of Success you think about or talk about the results are always in your ability to take right action. When you take right action you maintain integrity with yourself and you stay on track for success.
Time Management Skill: Accessibility Destroying Your Productivity?
Controlling your accessibility is a time management skill that will increase your overall productivity. Do you pride yourself on your open door policy? Do you take all your own calls, stopping what you’re doing to answer the phone? Do you regularly check your emails throughout the day? Let me ask you, why is being so accessible more important than being productive?
Sometimes you think you have to allow everyone 100% access 100% of the time or people will think you aren’t friendly. You can be friendly, but you need some ground rules. When you were a little kid did your parents let you eat nothing but candy? Of course they didn’t. That wouldn’t have been healthy and neither is being 100% accessible 100% of the time. It may feed your ego making you feel really important because so many people need you, or want to talk to you, but it destroys your productivity.
So, how do you improve your productivity without destroying your relationships? It begins with you asking for assistance, and then training others to help you meet your expectations. When you ask for help rather than demanding compliance, people are always ready to help you out. Let those around you know that you have some changes you have to make because you’ve come to realize that your willingness to be accessible is destroying your productivity. Let them know what your new ground rules are, and specifically how they can help you to live by your own rules.
The very thing that’s feeding your ego is actually undermining your value. Others give your productive time the same level of importance you train them to give it. When you train people that they can interrupt you at any time for any reason you’re really communicating to them that whatever you’re doing isn’t important so interrupting you is no big deal.
You know what you don’t want, and that’s a good place to start. You know that you don’t want to take every call as it comes in, that you don’t want to stop what you’re doing to read and answer a bunch of time waster emails, and you know you don’ want people just dropping in your office any time. Based on what you don’t want identify what you do want, and start from that point to develop and train for your accessibility ground rules. You may be the biggest obstacle in accomplishing this as you’re obviously getting some enjoyment from all these incessant interruptions. Put your focus on the enjoyment you’ll get from increasing your productivity, and the time you can free up to actually enjoy the people who want to communicate with you.
Pure Awareness, Pure Seeing, Pure Being Is Who You Are
This aliveness, that is flowing through the very eyes of this mindbody that you find your self flowing through, is who “you” are; it is your self, the heart of existence, the divine one of all time, the “you” of you, the seer. It is also the one that arises as the many; the one that gives birth to and sustains all manifestation; the one that is completely beyond the beyondness of all arisings; the ineffable one that just is.
Yet this one is entering its own manifestation with greater and greater clarity, fullness and purity of itself – the puissance of itself – through the very mindbody that you find your self flowing through right now. There is no “other” – this one is who you are and you will come to realize this one as this “you” of you when you come to the place of being deeply at rest at and as this one that is flowing through the very eyes of this mindbody that you would otherwise mistake yourself to be.
Pure awareness, pure seeing, pure being is who “you” are – this purity of this isness is what frees you completely from being lost in and trying to be what this “you” is flowing through.
It is the very motion of seeing that is flowing through your eyes right now – the seer. This flow of the motion of aliveness is the actual “central point” of the divine connection of “you” to you, as you find your self here and travelling around through this mindbody that you find yourself so intimately involved in.
This impersonal and solid rocklike mass of nothingness that contains more than everything, completely independent of all arising and from which all things arise, is the one who is seeing through the eyes of this mindbody. Until you realize your self – this divine one that “you” are; the very heart of existence itself – you are going to be forever and falsely in search of it.
First, you have to actually find this “you” that is already right here – it is flowing through your eyes and it is the happening thing that is “before” all other arisings, including the arising of the mind and the mindbody that this one is flowing through.
Second, you must stop at and as this one that is this “you”.
Third, you come to being deeply at rest in this “you” of you by staying “stopped” at and as this one – instead of furthering out from where “you” already are, which automatically occurs the moment you are inattentive to your self.
Fourth, you learn to move from this place of “you” while the dance of life continues to be danced through this mindbody that you find your self flowing through.
Fifth, you watch the mindbody unravel of its mind informancy while you remain in place as this “you” of you, free of everything that is going on.
Sixth, you begin to become deliriously happy in the energetic beingness of this heart of existence that is this “you” that you have begun to live on a momentary and daily basis.
Seventh, you begin to awaken to how anything that you are up to at all – in terms of finding this “you” of you; in terms of you recognising anything about this “you” of you – is only more of the subtleties of the notyou-ness at play; you awaken to the immensity of this nothingness of the everythingness that is who you are.
You will not learn to do all of this over night – which is a bit of a shame really; that would have you stabilised in your freedom and your love – not the love of a mind informed mindbody which falls well short of the mark; that would have you being this love to all “others” of this same one that is this “you” of you.
However, to compensate for this incremental and step by step learning that flowers from learning to leave alone what is notyou, you have the delightfulness of the conscious journey of self discovery to travel – you have the wonderment of waking up to all of this for yourself.
Allowing Yourself To Be Naturally Driven In Life
The problem with the way most people are working on the path to success is that they are trying to drive themselves rather than allowing themselves to be driven. They are doing it the hard way rather than the easy way. It is the way that requires much effort and struggle because they are pushing themselves to do things rather than allow themselves to be guided naturally into action by their heart. If they would choose the easy and effortless way of inspired action instead, life would be much more enjoyable.
We think that since we are here on earth, we are supposed to do things to prove our self worth. We think we are supposed to make things happen. The truth is that you are not here to do anything, you are simply here to allow yourself to be inspired into doing what God inspires you to do. We are all here to serve God. Our identity is a being of light or an angel, a messenger of God. We are here to allow God to express himself through us. We do not do to live, we are to let life express itself through us.
We have been taught that in order to achieve big things in life, we should set goals. We should think about what we want and to set clear intentions to manifest those very things. We should come up with a plan of action to achieve the very things we desire. But that way of doing things is so unnatural and imperfect. It is hard to even think about what we want because don’t even know what we should want. We can’t even think what plan of action to take because we don’t know what actions would suit us.
If we would just stop trying to come up with our own way of doing things, we would eliminate all these tons of mistakes and struggles that we experience in the difficult and effortful path of creating success. The question to ask yourself is, do you want to play small or play big? You could try to set goals for things you think you should have and succeed in achieving them. But what you manage to achieve that way would only be very small compared to something much larger that God already has for you.
You were created for a purpose and everything you were supposed to do and truly desire to have are already created by God. All you have to do is to open yourself up to receiving all of it. You do not even have to think about what you want because your true desires have already been placed within you from the beginning. You do not have to think about what to do to get them because you were already designed to function in a certain way with gifts that seek expression through you for achieving your dream.
Therefore we do not need to think about everything we want, and to set goals to achieve them in the forms we think they should appear in, or to create an entire plan of action to achieve those things. All we have to do is to walk each step of the way and to act on whatever our heart is leading us to do at every present moment. When we take the step we are guided towards now, the next step will open up without us needing to figure it out beforehand. Life is much more exciting and liberating in this manner.
The same principle applies in manifesting your desires. You don’t have to force yourself to set specific intentions as you simply open yourself to being guided as to what to intend along the way. You will not have to work on visualizing anything but you will be naturally inspired to visualize the very things that your heart is drawn towards seeing happen. You don’t have to do any work at all because all the work is being done through you as you allow yourself to be moved into expressing your heart in every moment.
All the methods of mental power and physical techniques of doing things that you learn are not meant for you to try applying in getting what you want. They are actually meant for you to learn how to do better what you are already naturally doing. When you become conscious of the mechanics and explanations of how things work, you are able to refine and sharpen everything that you do to become more effective and efficient in the energy you expend and also more optimal in the results that you are getting.
Most people do things in reverse that is why they find the process so hard, so uninspiring and so full of effort. All the ways of achieve success are only the means to an end. But it is the nature of the world to focus on the means once success is achieved, and to turn them into ways that everyone should follow in achieving the same things. It is because people want control and certainty. They don’t realize that true control and direction of everything does not occur on this plane of reality but on a higher one.
We have all been created with desires, talents and dreams that were placed within us for the fulfillment of our purpose. All we have to do is to allow God to unfold them through us in divine timing and divine order as we go through life expressing what we are drawn to express each step of the way. Our true and innermost choices were already made on a higher plane before we entered this world. All the pain and struggle we experience is because we are going against our true choices with different ones.
All these means is to let go of all control of everything, and to surrender wholly to God in directing and driving our lives, and to trust in him completely every step of the way. Have no agenda and no will of our own. Be a yielded vessel. Instead of making things happen, we let things happen through us. By not driving yourself but allowing yourself to be driven, you will gain your greatest fulfillment, happiness and peace. You will experience life at the highest level of reality creation where you are partnered with God.
Knowing the Law of Attraction, understanding Cause and Effect and changing our lives for the better.
If we understand Cause and Effect, can we change the Cause and change the Effect on our lives for the better?
For every effect in your life, there is a cause, or series of specific, measurable, definable, identifiable causes.
We all know someone who is a Law of Attraction intention manifest master, someone who, seemingly understands the Law of Attraction success principles and with ease appears to have everything they want, usually people who we’ve thought, much more fortunate than we were.
The Secret Law of Attraction Guide before, “we attract to our life what we give our focus, energy and attention to”.
So are these people deliberately attracting a better lifestyle or not?
For those of us who have applied our attention, energy and focus on without, we are still using Cause and Effect, it’s just that our attention has been focused in the wrong direction.
This Law says that if there is anything you want in life, an effect that you desire, you can find someone else that has achieved the same result or effect, and that by doing the same things that they have done, over and over you can eventually enjoy the same results and rewards.
However, Cause and Effect cuts in both ways. It also says that if there is an unwanted effect in your life, whether it’s no money, bad relationships, unsatisfying career, or any other difficulty, you can trace that effect back to the things that you have done to cause it and that by removing the causes you can begin to remove the effects, sometimes as quickly as overnight.
From this moment on, using Cause and Effect to attract abundance and prosperity, will be down to your knowledge, not be down to luck.
As with any skill you will need to practise affirmations, law of attraction visualization, and law of attraction exercises like powerful manifestations to attract those things you desire. And I mean practise, I can tell you how to play the piano, but I can’t make you practise, I can not give you the determination to keep trying this until you make it work.
I’m reminded of a lesson I was once taught, “Intelligence is not the secret of success, as I know many disillusioned intellects, skill is not the secret of success, as I know many talented failures, but persistence, is the only way to succeed”
Although some of us are better at certain skills, that doesn’t mean the rest of us, with practice, can’t improve or even surpass the talent expressed by another.
Grasping a better understanding of the process of Cause and Effect and the Law Attraction, is the first step in attracting abundance and prosperity to manifest your dreams.
Success, however you define it, is not an accident. It is not a result of good luck versus bad luck. Even if you have not taken the time to clearly identify how you got from where you were to where you are today, there have been a series of specific steps that you have taken that have brought you to where you are at this minute. And the fact is, they could have brought you to no other place.
You have used Cause and Effect to bring you to where and what you are now. It has been your choices and your decisions over the months and years that have inevitably determined the condition of your life at this moment.
The most wonderful part of this is that at any time you can start making different choices and different decisions, taking different steps and you will inevitably arrive at a different place than where you are today.
In it’s simplest terms, successful, happy, healthy, prosperous people are those that have discovered the laws that govern our lives and have designed their lives so that they are in harmony with those laws. As a result, through Cause and Effect, they experience far more joy and satisfaction, and accomplish far more in a few years then the average person does in a lifetime.
The Law of Attraction is commonly associated with wealth creation. This is a misconception. These laws are the defining principles that govern every aspect of your life; relationships, family, business and health.
When ever you need to succeed the Law of Attraction and your mental attitude will define the level of your success, or indeed failure.
Cause and Effect is this – “thoughts are causes” and “conditions are effects”. Your mind is the most powerful force in your universe. A man becomes what he thinks about most of the time.
You are, where you are and what you are, because of your habitual ways of thinking.
Your thoughts are creative, and they ultimately create your reality. So if you change your thinking, you change your life.
“whatsoever a man soweth, that also shall he reap”, whatever you are reaping today is a result of what you have sown in the past.
This is a summary of a chapter from Charles Haanal’s Master Key System, called Reversing the Process from Cause to Effect.
“You will see that every conceivable force or object or fact is the result of mind in action.
Mind in action is thought, and thought is creative. Men are thinking now, as they never thought before. Therefore, this is a creative age, and the world is awarding its richest prizes to the thinkers.
Matter is powerless, passive, and inert. Mind is force, energy, and power. Mind shapes and controls matter. Every form which matter takes is but the expression of some pre-existing thought.
But thought works no magic transformations; it obeys Natural Laws; it sets in motion natural forces; it releases natural energies; it manifests in your conduct and actions, and these in turn react upon your friends and acquaintances, and eventually upon the whole of your environment.
You can originate thought, and since thoughts are creative, you can create for yourself the things you desire.”
Whether it is called Cause and Effect, the Laws of Attraction, the Power of Positive Thinking, Powerful Intensions or simply Sowing and Reaping, they all follow universal principles that have existed since the beginning of man on this earth.
All success, happiness and high achievement comes from organizing your life in conformance with these Cause and Effect principles. When you do, you will achieve satisfaction and enjoyment at levels seldom experienced by the average person and of course, people will start to refer to you as lucky.
We should be aware, but never ever dwell on the negative, as the principle of life and metaphysics that is embodied in the law of attraction, that is that you get what you think about; your thoughts determine your destiny.
To utilize the Law of Attraction you need to understand the principle of Cause and Effect, the following is a short 3-step process:
Ask: Ask what you want in an object/scenario context
Believe: Maintain Focus; the universe will answer
Receive: Do not hesitate when the goal is manifested; seize it without hesitation.
Sounds simple enough doesn’t it?
Ask – What could be easier, however as we have already discussed, this is not as simple as that. To ask will involve positive visualisation techniques, possibly words of affirmations, vision boards or meditation. Whatever technique you use the art of asking is being accurate and specific.
Believe – One of the hardest principles to get hold of, to believe, not to doubt in any way whatsoever. When we look at the possibility of Attracting the winning lottery numbers, in principal that’s fine, but can you submit you’re numbers and without any shadow of doubt know, hand on heart, that you have the winning ticket? Doubt Blocks.
Receive – Now that must be simple? Mind you has opportunity ever presented itself to you, which, in hindsight you wish you’d taken? Seize it without hesitation but with gratitude.
These methods are great for getting started but you really need to gain full control over your subconscious, to really see the power of positive thinking.

Power through the people
Have you come across a person who is so naturally friendly that when you put him inside a room of strangers, he’ll be friends with almost everyone in no time? We call such a people-person, someone unbelievably nice and charismatic that he can charm anyone into doing anything.
A socially-empowered person achieves so much greatness, basically because of the people that catapult him to success. He earns the trust and all-out support of the people, whom he had helped before. He never runs out of help. He can do anything with the plethora of people behind him. All because he knows he maximizes his social potential!
See, if you know your social skills and you make use of them, you will reach self-empowerment. Self-empowerment is making a general overhaul in your life and turning yourself into a happier and more successful person.If you can be one of those people-persons, then I can’t see any reason why you will not succeed. You just have to know how to start.
1. Be genuine.
Hypocrisy will just bring you all the way down. Be genuinely nice and interested to people. Once they perceive that you are Mr. Hypocrite with selfish intentions, you might as well say goodbye to self-empowerment.
2. Be the greatest listener that you can be.
To earn the love and trust of the people, listen to their problems and sympathize with them. Do not just hear them out, listen to them with your heart. Make eye contact when the person talks to you. Listen as if every word matters, and it does. Brownie points when they find out that there is a confidante in you.
3. Laugh out loud.
I do not mean that you force yourself to laugh for every joke cracked by someone, albeit you do not find it funny at all.This means finding humor in things and not being too darn serious. A person oozing with an awesome sense of humor attracts crowds and eventually, attracts success.
4. Don’t forget yourself.
In the process of fluttering around like a social butterfly, you might forget yourself, allowing everyone to push you over. Remember, love and value yourself before anyone else. If you deem yourself respectable and worthy of affection, people will flock to you and not trample on you.
5. Do random acts of kindness.
You don’t have to do a John Rockefeller and blow your savings to charity. Little acts of kindness matters the most, and this can be as simple as giving someone a surprise you-take-care card or helping an elderly cross the street. When we were kindergarten students, kindness was taught to us and greatly practiced. Now is the time to revive the good deeds and this time, let them stay for good.
6. Contact your old friends.
Sad how some friendships are destined to goodbye, but thanks to technology, you can do something about it. Relive the good old days by flipping your yearbook and look for the great people whom you want to communicate with again. Adding these old friends to your roster of support peers will surely make you feel good all over.
7. Develop your personality.
Are you grouchy, grumpy and generally morose? Whoa, you can’t go through life with those. Get rid of the bad traits and habits that perpetually hamper your growth. And really, who wants a grouchy friend anyway?
8. Be confident.
Be able to stride to the other corner of the room and introduce yourself to people with that winning smile of yours. Just remember: be confident, not arrogant.
9. Practice control.
When angry, don’t snap at anyone. Never throw a tantrum. Stay calm and collected. Be adult enough to take control of situation and transform your anger into something more productive and passive. As soon as people think your anger goes to volcanic proportions easily, they will find it hard to come to you.
10. Keep nurturing your relationships.
Your relationship with your family, friends and significant others is too precious that you must not neglect it whatever happens. Go out and have fun with them. Do things together. Happiness will never fly from your side as long as the people who matter the most are close to you.
In the end, using people for self-empowerment means becoming a better and more lovable person. It’s a win-win situation: the people know they can turn to you anytime and vice versa.
