The Link between Thinking and Doing: How to Make Money a Reality

By Ina Hikmatullah

In difficult economic times, especially in a climate as tough as the one that exists today, any attempts to embark on a new financial endeavor can seem challenging. However, with the advent of the internet, there exists more avenues for income than ever before, such as residual income. Residual income refers to steady income that requires little to no maintenance, such as rent or royalties.

The reality is that any time is the right time to set off on a new journey, as long as you are in the correct mindset. The question to ask is, are you ready to pursue a new goal? In order to make money a reality in your life, you must be focused on each pursuit with a clear mind and dedicated vision. This applies regardless if you are looking for a new job or pursuing an original business opportunity. Whether it is your primary focus or just a way to make extra money, opportunities for residual income should be pursued with determination.

Creating an Atmosphere of Success

Whenever you start a new project, you may find it difficult to obtain the proper motivation to begin. Outside factors can make it even more difficult, such as having financial difficulty or relationship troubles. Keep in mind that you are your own biggest obstacle. While this may have become clich thanks to self help books and life coaches, the theory still holds true.

In fact, some of the most popular life coaches and self help books deal with this theory successfully. Consider the law of attraction, as promoted by "The Secret." According to this belief, if you want to have a desire realized, then you have to do more than just ask the universe for it " you must also believe that the desire will really come to pass. Philosophers throughout the ages have quoted similar ideas. To be successful, you must not only decide on what your goals are, but you must work to achieve them. If you go about it only halfheartedly, you will only see halfhearted results.

Motivation and Innovation

You can take whatever motivation you need from whatever sage you prefer, but once you have established your beliefs, it is time to focus on the goal of building a source of residual income. If you are not afraid of trying something new, then business opportunities abound. A popular choice for those who have some investment capabilities includes real estate. This tried-and-true method does require some time and cost put into finding the appropriate rental and fixing it up. However, once the initial investment has been put into it, you can see a steady monthly income generated from the property with little to no effort on your own part.

Now if you do not have startup cash, real estate investing may not be the best option for you. However, you may find that you have a wealth of other assets, including your passions, knowledge, and experience. Think of any money making projects that you have put off, such as writing a book or looking into pay-per-click advertising or even marketing a new invention. Whatever you choose, put your heart into it to help you to achieve real residual income. If you have the energy and the desire to pursue new opportunities, then the world is limitless. In todays struggling economy, you need to be the one to put your ideas and skills together into a plan that will generate a constant stream of income for your future.

What to Do When You Are Laid Off

By Ina Hikmatullah

The current economy has forced millions into forced time off.

While the situation may seem bleak now, there are ways that you can use this sudden surplus of spare time to your advantage. While you will probably spend a good portion of your newfound free time on the job hunt, you can also use this opportunity to take some time for you " giving you that personal time you have been putting off for months or years. By looking for the positive, you can find a way out of the economic struggles and into more success than you would have thought possible.

LAW OF ATTRACTION- Have classical and quantum physics agreed on this?

By Conrad Blomberg

It was first mentioned in about 1879. Just what is the Law of Attraction? It is the belief that says if you believe something strongly enough, what you truly believe will be attracted to you

This phrase, Law of Attraction, was first used by a major publication in 1879 when the New York Times newspaper wrote a story about the Colorado Gold Rush. It described the wagon trains that were moving west as moving in obedience to some occult law of attraction.

Since then, this phrase has been used over and over, but it has changed in its meaning over the years. It was first used mainly to describe how this Law caused people to do something.

Then, that changed to a more modern meaning of this law as being something that manifested itself and caused things to happen. To manifest in this sense means that it came about, or was thought to be real.

By 1902 to 1904 it was quite often stated that thought had to precede any physical form and that it was the action of the mind which was the nucleus of any outward visible form.

All through these early years, there were those who denied that any such thing as thought being powerful could not be true. Among the leaders of such doubters were physicists who were basing this belief on the idea that if it could not be measured, weighed or have physical form it could not be the law of anything.

But, there were always some physicists who believed that energy was involved in matter formation.

John Ambrose Fleming an electrical engineer and turn of the century physicist held that "every completed manifestation, of whatever kind and on whatever scale" was "an unquenchable Energy of Attraction"

Think and Grow Rich, a book written by Napoleon Hill was first issued in 1937 and became one of the most successful books ever... it sold well over 60 million copies.

Hills idea was that you must control your thoughts. If you did, you would find his secret (which he said was mentioned in every chapter). He never said it in so many words, but most think he was writing about The Law of Attraction without saying so.

And, physics was changing during these years. Something called Quantum physics was developed. It is, briefly, more about energy than is classical physics.

Quantum Physics now tells us and you can see it in real experiments, the reality of the universe out there is not independent of our views. It is not our purpose here to discuss quantum physics except to say that it is concerned with energy.

There are those quantum physicist who say that everything is energy

There are now quantum physicists who maintain that the Law of Attraction is indeed real and that it can be accessed and operated by anyone with sufficient dedication. Thus we see a joining of doubters and believers, in a way.

Personal Development is Your Key to Success

By Ina Hikmatullah

As you go throughout your life, you will find that you make many investments. You invest in school, you invest in relationships, and you invest in financial investments, all with the hopes of getting back more than you put in. Of course, if you want to have personal success, you need to invest in yourself.

If you dont change anything, of course you can expect to get the same results! Thats a claim that can be supported by science.

We can learn a lot from a philosophy thats quite prevalent in personal development circles, called NLP, or neuro-linguistic programming. The idea is that we can change certain negative characteristics about ourselves and lead fuller lives. We can have more success by behaving as successful people do. Thats great news, because that means that by observing the lives and behaviors of successful people, we effectively give ourselves a blueprint to success.

Okay, but how do we do that? How does this have anything to do with our own personal development? Well, one important thing to realize, as stated before, is that successful people all share common characteristics. They think of themselves in positive ways. They see problems as challenges to be converted into learning experiences, not as something to be avoided. This kind of behavior leads to courage, and courage leads to change in behavior. Its a self-feeding sort of procedure.

Another good example of successful behavior, and one that ties in very well with the last point, is problem-solving behavior. People who have achieved this in their personal development dont run away from problems. They run THROUGH them, which serves to strengthen their confidence. People who run away from their problems tend to have a very low sense of self worth, and as a result, they let their problems overwhelm them.

Dont be that person. Always remember, the definition of success is the overcoming of adversity. That means that in order to be successful, by definition, you are going to solve some problems. Probably a lot! There is no success without resistance!

To help keep you motivated in this way, a good idea is to practice an attitude of gratitude. This means that you take time each day to be thankful for what you have. This allows you to believe that good things are in fact possible for you, and that with a little more effort, youll be able to achieve even more! Practicing an attitude of gratitude is very important for your own personal development, especially early on, when you may feel that you just havent been getting anything out of life.

One way to alter this negative view you may have of yourself and to further your personal development is to practice an attitude of gratitude. Practicing an attitude of gratitude means taking the time to be thankful for what you have. People who do this, even as the recession deepens and the economy gets worse, are going to look at themselves in a much more positive light, and as a result, they are going to attract even more good fortune. Think of all that you have. Your friends, your family, your talents, your interests.

So remember, in your personal development, the first and most important successes are going to be mostly mental. Stay focused on these tips in the beginning, and you will find that you too are capable of success!

By converting your thoughts into positive energies, you will be able to disperse positive vibrations, which will help you in achieving your goals. That is why knowing the general tips on the law of attraction is important.

First things first. You will need to create a clear vision or paint a vivid image of what you want. This can be done through a process called creative visualization. When you, visualize your want or your desire, you begin to create a concrete image or description of your goals. This will give a touch of realism because visualizing will make you believe that it is already there, your goals are just within your reach. If you keep playing this vision in your mind, it will eventually transfer to real life.

Affirmation is another effective tip on the law of attraction . Affirmations are like statements that you say to yourself repeatedly to make yourself feel good. It supports your desire and transfers positive vibrations. "I am going to get a promotion within the next six months" is one example of an affirmation. Note that affirmations are always positive. They are also effective when you repeat them regularly in your mind and if you write them down.

Positive thinking is also an important tip on the law of attraction. Positive thinkers seldom, if not never, find negative things around them. Because when you are a positive thinker, you learn to dwell only on the bright side of life. You always find the beauty in ugly.

A good disposition in life will reflect in all aspects of your life. Your thoughts, actions, decisions, feelings will become more pleasant and will vibrate positive energies. These energies will help you bring your goal to life.

The law of attraction tips are just guides to help you achieve your goals. The power to change your life the way you see fit still lies in your hands. You and only you alone have the power to change your life. When you are committed and passionate about achieving your goals, and you have faith in yourself and your dreams, there is no right or wrong thing to do.
