“There he goes again, flaunting his mumbo jumbo management”

This is a common feeling that many of us get (and some of us trigger) when listening to people talk at work. But do we understand this popular management jargon correctly?

While some may use these phrases simply to impress, others may well use them to send a message. Here are the 10 most used buzzwords in the workplace;

1. Think outside the box
When you approach your manager with a problem, he says, “Why don’t you try thinking outside the box to come up with a solution?”
Sure, creative thinking could give you the answer, but some managers use this to evade the question until they can think of a solution.

2. Let’s go back in a circle
Isn’t the distance shorter when you go in a straight line instead of going around in a circle?
Turning around is a fancy term meaning we’ll meet again later. This is generally used when some additional work needs to be done before the discussion can begin.

3. Synergy
This term became popular during the making of the atomic bomb when the energy of different particles came together in synergy to cause a huge explosion.
While no organization would encourage an explosion, the intent behind this phrase is to promote team togetherness and collective thinking.

4. Let’s touch base
Wear this statement on a college campus and the teens will be laughing in your face. If only our leaders knew what connotations this phrase carries.
On a professional note, this simply means we’re going to catch up.

5. EOD (End of Day)
“I need this to be EODed” is commonly heard on the office floor.
A sweet and more acceptable way of saying that you have to complete the task or you won’t be able to come home. A modified version of this is COB (Close of Business), which usually means 6:00 pm local time.

6. Paradigm
This is an exciting word to hear and many users may not even get the pronunciation right!
While broadly meaning ‘example’, it is primarily used to indicate a specific thought process: perspective.
The term has given rise to claims such as Paradigm Shift, which suggests a change in approach.

7. 50,000 foot view
“Give me a view of 10,000/20,000…50,000 feet” is widely used by top management.
A polite way of asking only for the highlights, it’s used when someone wants to confirm the overall status of a task.

8. More for less
Quickly becoming part of every management discourse, this term is a favorite during economic uncertainty.
It simply means doing more expecting less, this is an effective way of signaling to the team that times are tough.

9. You have to take it to the next level
It is mainly used when one does not live up to expectations.
This doesn’t always have to mean a bad thing, as your manager could be signaling that you have the potential to do much better and work at the next (performance) level.

10. Win-win
It is safe to assume that every manager should know and use this term.
Simply put, it means that everyone benefits and the end result serves the purpose of each entity involved. A manager might tell his team member that while he can’t take the day off, he can log in from home and get the job done. The task is completed while the employee can save travel time, a win-win situation.

The draft horse is extremely powerful, with strong legs and a broad body. It has an impressive quality of strength and in times past it was bred to pull a plow or sled. Although draft horses are still seen for pleasure riding and racing today, it is important to remember how far back the history of these powerful horses goes, and how long they have served capably and well in many different capacities. In their earliest history, they were thought to have come from the draft subtype of the ancient Forest Horse, but very soon, they were bred for the desirable traits of a strong body and a gentle, docile temperament.

When the horse was domesticated it was recognized that there were many different purposes for which it could be put. While riding horses needed to be fast and highly responsive, heavier and more patient horses were thought to be more desirable for farm work. They could be called into action to move heavy loads or plow fields, and their steadfastness was an asset when it came to work of this nature. Selective breeding over thousands of years resulted in the draft horses we see today, ranging from the great Clydesdales to the popular Belgians.

When people think of carriage horses in medieval Europe, their minds instinctively go to steeds, horses that carried knights into battle. While it is true that steeds needed to be powerful enough to carry a knight in full armor, the truth was that there was little in common between the medieval steed and a draft horse. Where a draft horse was bred to be docile and stable, a steed needed to be fast and extremely responsive to both its rider and the battle going on around it. It has been theorized that lighter draft horses, such as the Friesian or Andalusian, might be more like steeds.

Just because they weren’t seen during the Crusades doesn’t mean the draft horse wasn’t seen at all in warfare. In fact, patient and steady workhorses would play an important role in World War I support work. To understand how many horses made it to Western Europe from the United States, consider the fact that in 1913, fewer than a thousand horses were shipped from America. Over the next five years, at the height of World War I, more than 1 million horses were shipped. With the innovation of trench warfare, the lighter Calvary-style horses could not effectively maneuver over the field. It was the cart horses that were most useful; they were the ones who could pull the artillery with almost tireless force, carrying ammunition and supplies. Of the million horses that went to Europe for World War I, only 200 horses returned home.

The horses we recognize today as draft horses, with their powerful bodies and impressive height, may have first appeared on the scene in the early 19th century. These horses were bred for transporting goods and for agriculture, and were especially useful in pulling carriages and carts, especially in the days before railways. In the United States, thousands of draft horses were shipped from Europe in the early 20th century. During the latter part of the 19th century, many American draft registries were founded, and by 1915 the Percheron was the most numerous draft horse found in America.

After a decline following the invention of the car and truck, the modern workhorse is experiencing a marked increase in numbers. More and more people are realizing that heavy draft horse breeds have some very important contributions to make, whether for trail riding or show ring riding. Today’s draft horses are still used for entertainment around the world, but this is far from their only function.

Whether you are interested in seeing draft horses in action or interested in owning one, take some time and really consider learning more about the history of this breed.

Summary

A version of this statement is often passed down within families. It comes from a variety of sources. One is Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice”: “The truth will come out.” In Ephesians 5:9 of the Bible, a modern translation fits the statement: “The light within you produces what is good, just, and true.” Essentially, it is the little voice in our hearts that tells us right from wrong. The world is on fire when enough people don’t listen to that little voice. Yet time and time again, even when the world is on fire, enough people have listened, combined, and acted for the collective good. Another quote: “When bad men combine, good men must associate, else they will fall one by one, a merciless sacrifice in a despicable fight.” Credit Edmund Burke, an Irish political philosopher, for saying something we all know to be true.

tests of our character

It tends to occur in small groups. Someone does something out of character. What are the others doing in the small group? They usually tolerate the act. So, the antagonist believes that his activity has paid off. It happens again. The group will most likely take note, but not get involved. A psychologist among them would have the opportunity to conduct a case study on what has become a group dynamic. For everyone else in the group, this could be the initial shock of misery. This is the tyrant in the office, the bully in the schoolyard, the rule breaker and mischief maker. What if someone in the office realizes, after repeated interruptions, that he must confront the tyrant? Indeed? If one good person takes a stand, the rest of the group still has to do something. Usually they do nothing. “Let HR handle it.” “Discipline is the teacher’s job.” These moments are a test of character for everyone in the small group. If someone stands up for what is right and is alone, the strongest personality will win. Very often the strongest personality belongs to the tyrant. An emboldened tyrant will dominate, much as a sheepdog dominates sheep that outnumber the dog, perhaps 200:1.

The citizens

People predominantly live their lives as members of a human society. In some parts of the world, such societies are still called tribes. In industrialized countries, citizens often form around towns, cities, villages. People identify themselves as part of a district, a state, a region, and a country. In addition to geography, people are formed around their family ties, their religion, their sports team, their school, their earned educational designation (engineering society, local union). In all these examples of shared human ties, the rule of law is necessary. Someone must lead. He/she is expected to promote the welfare of society through the government. Here, too, are evidence of our character. The same people who won’t listen to their inner voice, who won’t stand up for righteousness, who won’t support whoever does, probably won’t contribute to society either. They will not lead or volunteer to support. They will not vote and will not communicate with the one who was elected. When problems arise, they expect the police to take care of them. When your child misbehaves in public, they won’t correct him. Your country could have been born from sacrifice. Others, before them, may have given their lives to guarantee the freedoms that all citizens enjoy. However, in times of need, during crisis, and even during safe times when voting for the best leader is so important, many will shirk their obligation to their ancestors and to the needs of today’s society. They will not listen to their inner voice. “That another vote”. “Someone should say something to that lady who lets her C*** her dog on her lawn.” “I don’t have time to respond to that senator who asked me how he’s doing in Congress.” “Those poor hungry people in the earthquake zone; someone should organize food for them.” “Where is the world going? Those people just took over another country. Don’t they realize their leader is a tyrant? I hope we stay out of it.”

The truth

The rule of law only works when society enforces the rule. Many will argue that there is too much corruption and crime in the world, too many different points of view to reach a consensus on what is right, great geographical distances and greater personal risks today make it more difficult to take a principled position. However, no argument has the strength to withstand public scrutiny or self-examination. When we don’t take a stand, we don’t stand for anything. Edmund Burke is not remembered for being right about the positions he took. He is admired for standing up. Any of us who have done that in our lives, look back on the moment without the stinging rebuke of regret. Those who stand alone against the tyrant and bully stand their ground, even if they lose. They are the ones who will not be with him/her, the ones who let themselves pass the test of character, the ones who look down at their shoes in the presence of the one who was sacrificed. Target, cheer up. Some of the good and most admired people in society were lazy for much of their early life. One day, they looked up and stood up for what was right. That became his habit. The truth will remain when the world is on fire. The truth is revealed by people who will not tolerate evil. When they are on their feet, they are the rock. Those who are with them build a stone wall around that rock. There are never too many of them to extinguish a moral fire. There may be very few. Stand!

Your words are containers of power. With the tongue we bless God and curse men. “Blessing and cursing proceed from the same mouth. My brothers, these things should not be so.” (James 3:9-10) What does that really mean? It is understandable that we should not curse our fellow men. However, any time you jokingly utter a negative word, such as “You’re crazy,” it can inadvertently offend the recipient and turn into a curse word.

Jesus Christ is the Word and He dwelt among us (John 1:1 – 5) He created everything by His Word and then took on the flesh and nature of man, in essence making His Words audible to mankind. There was no idle word spoken by Him. Every Word that came out of His mouth was specifically sent to do something. He spoke of healing, deliverance, teaching about the Kingdom of God, and compassion. His Words are containers of Power.

To those who honor the Word of God, words come to life! To those who sought to kill him, Jesus said:

“My word has no place in you. I speak what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.” (In another place he expands: your father the devil) (John 8: 37 – 38)

Those are sobering words! It makes you realize that unless you are completely and constantly involved in God’s Word, the words you speak are not the words you hear Him speak to you.

It’s okay, although you are not of the world, you are in it and you are influenced by it. The most important fact is that when Jesus spoke for the universe to exist, it did. When he spoke of healing, he was done. Everything he said came true!

“This is how my word that goes out of my mouth will be: it will not return to me empty, but it will do what I want, and it will prosper in that for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 56:11)

Likewise, whatever you and I say will happen! In other words, your words are spiritual containers of power. No matter what you say, there is a degree of power in it. The degree depends on the faith you put behind the words. If you speak healing, relaxing, comforting and loving words, they will achieve what you are believing for.

Conversely, when you speak negative words of disbelief, condemnation, discouragement, and fear, and you believe it, it will come to pass!

So, be careful when you feel like telling someone what’s on your mind. Also, speak good things and health about yourself. Don’t think you’re going to get the flu just because it’s the season or because everyone around you has it! Speak healing Bible verses about yourself and your loved ones, apply a good dose of faith to him, thank the Lord for his Word that says:

“Beloved, I wish above all things that you prosper and that you have health, just as your soul prospers.” (3 John 2)

Keep in mind that good thoughts produce good words which, in turn, produce good fruit:

“The good man, from the good treasure of his heart, brings out the good; and the bad man, from the evil treasure of his heart, brings out the bad; for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45) and:

“Every idle word that men speak, they will give an account of it on the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matthew 12:36 – 37)

Be encouraged! You really can make miracles happen by speaking the Word of God with faith over every situation in your life! Anytime you catch yourself going off on tangents and speaking negative words, that’s okay. Tell the Lord you are sorry and keep practicing speaking Life over yourself and others. God is good and he is ready to forgive!

“Now therefore there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walks not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1)

It is food to start the day praying:

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasant before you, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.” (Ps. 19:14)

The Spirit Board and Talking Boards Explored

The ‘Spirit Board’, also known as ‘Ouija board’, ‘Talking board’ and ‘Devils Oracle’, among other names, is undoubtedly the most notorious of all games. With terrifying stories passed down through the generations, the Spirit board is, in essence, a “focusing tool,” through which users can communicate with unknown entities, possibly the souls of the deceased, or possibly nasty creatures that wish . only to corrupt the souls of mankind.

Guaranteed to strike fear into the hearts of many, and guaranteed to spark debate, Spirit’s board is surrounded by stories of life-ruining experiences told with teary eyes and barely averted demonic possession. Harnessing supernatural powers, the talking board is used to access areas of the human psyche that are usually unused, acting as a bridge between realms if not used wisely, it is like an open door between our world and theirs, a gate open through which, without due precautions taken, anything is free to enter.

How to play

There must be a minimum of two people present in order to touch the board successfully, the board or pointer must be placed in the center of the Spirit board and all players must rest their fingers lightly on the board.

Players should then take turns asking questions of the board (taking care that only one person asks a question at a time), if a successful connection to the “other side” has been established, players should receive an answer in about Few minutes.

If you are in contact with an entity, the planchette should begin to move in response to your question, slowly at first and then with greater speed and precision, either responding with a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ or spelling out an answer using the numbers or letters on the board.

Ouija board rules

Before playing with the Spirit board, there are a few rules you should familiarize yourself with:

Rule number 1: never play alone with the Ouija board.

Rule number 2: Don’t let the planchette count backwards through the numbers or backwards through the alphabet, doing so would allow the spirits to escape.

Rule number 3: Place a silver coin or silver trinket on the Spirit board while it is in use. Silver is believed to ward off evil spirits.

Rule number 4: Never mention God or other higher deities while conversing across the board, doing so could anger the spirits if they have a negative persuasion.

Rule number 5: always say ‘goodbye’, this is the proper way to end your spirit table session and prevents spirits or entities from sticking around to cause mischief.

1) Static stretching.

What is static stretching? This is when one holds a stretch for a few seconds. Ideally, you want to hold it for 20 seconds to a minute at a time. It’s important to do this at the end of a workout to maintain flexibility, as muscles often tend to get tight after workouts. Staying flexible can help you go faster in the long run since you can have more range of motion. Stretching can even prevent some pain.

It’s also important to note that static stretching should be done at the end and not the beginning of a workout, as it relaxes the muscle and lengthens it to the point where exercising on it can cause injury and it’s less likely to respond properly. the way. your wish

2) Message.

Oh yeah, they feel good and help keep your muscles nice and relaxed. They are a great way to keep blood flowing in your legs, which in turn can help you recover faster. Top professional athletes in many types of sports receive messages every day. To quote Napoleon Dynamite “LUCKY!”

3) Recovery of wrinkles and/or swims.

recovery walks and swims are a great way to aid recovery. To keep joints flexible we must move. Why is this? The joints are not lubricated through the bloodstream, but are lubricated through the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is not pumped through the body by the heart but by inertia or human movement. This is why more and more doctors are telling people to move as much as possible when they have back pain or other areas of pain.

Recovery crinkles and swims also get your heart rate up. (It’s important to keep your heart rate very low in these exercises. Zone 1 is what you want.) This slight elevation in heart rate will help get a little more blood into your muscles, so the theory is that it will speed up recovery. I have found this seems to be effective for the athletes I train.

4) Sleep.

rocks to sleep on. It is when the mind and body have time to rest and recuperate, probably more. This is also when your body releases a large amount of human growth hormone. To maximize this, avoid eating carbohydrates 2 hours before sleep, as this will prevent the body from releasing human growth hormone. Human Growth Hormone has been indicated in many studies to play an important role in helping to recover and build muscle.

The amount of sleep you need varies from person to person. Michale Jordan during her game days only slept 3 hours a night. Most people need 7-9. Consistency is also key to sleep. Going to bed and getting up at the same time is helpful in order to feel the most energy when you get up.

4) Meditation.

YES BABY! I love to meditate. I do this almost every day. After doing one of these sessions I feel fresh, alert and ready to go. It teaches you to let go and relax your mind. I think it’s better than a nap because I feel more alert.

5) elevate your legs.

Elevating your legs after a job can also help. I have used this tactic and find it works for me and the athletes I coach. The idea is to empty your legacy. According to one of Joe Friels’ books, for every hour you train, keep them elevated for 5 minutes. So 3 hours = 15 minutes of elevation.

lie on your back and keep them above the rest of your body. Leaning against a wall or a stability ball works well.

6) Compression of the sock.

This is new, but I think it has some merit. Often after a hard day of training I find that my ankles and lower shin can look swollen and feel stiffer. Compression socks have helped me with this. I keep them after training.

I also wear socks when I travel and this has helped keep swelling to a minimum. I know some pros are doing this and I’m sure some of you triathletes have seen some people sporting these knee high socks to races. I still have to break them in for that as I think it will take a long time to get them on in transition and I want my legs to breathe.

7) Nutrition

The nutrition is also huge. There are many excellent nutrition resources. The body needs all the right nutrients to heal and recover efficiently. Therefore, one needs to have a well-balanced diet. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables!

That’s all friends, much peace and love to all of you.

When we are in very positive emotions such as happiness, joy, love, etc. we are in our true state. This is the state of energy through which happiness flows and all desires are allowed to arise. In other words, when we ‘feel good’ we are heading in the right direction towards our ‘happiness’. Likewise, when we are in negative emotions, we are receiving the equivalent negative emotional experiences from the universe. This is a vibrational universe and what is coming to us is what we are emitting emotionally. Our emotional well-being is of infinite importance. I have discovered various strategies of how to stay in high positive emotion lately because I want a magnificent life experience.

Here are some ways that I have found that can help you move into this positive high emotion as well. If you have ideas of your own, I welcome your feedback.

1.) Creativity: Being creative is always an uplifting activity. One has to be in the flow of life to be creative. Creativity can be anything from painting a picture to creating a beautiful meal.

2.) Physical Endurance: Nutrition and Exercise: When we move our bodies and feed them healthy food, we allow wellness to flow through us.

3.) Money: it can buy us pleasant experiences.

4.) Freedom of time: having time to enjoy and be and do what gives us pleasure.

5.) Enjoyment/Fun/Laughter: This could include anything from watching a great show on TV to seeing a concert. It’s doing something you enjoy.

6.) Beautiful, Healthy Relationships – Surround yourself with positive people who encourage you and help you see your true nature.

7.) Clear old memories that are causing stress in the body: One method of doing this is called travel work. You can learn how to do Journey work by going to a shop in your area. Or to experience this process on myself, a qualified Journey therapist can contact me. One can do this job over the phone so you can live anywhere and receive a process.

8.) Intellectual Growth: when one is learning new things, enjoying the process of its expansion and following the flow of life.

9.) Do the job you love.

10.) Prayer/Meditation/Being in Nature/First Nations Sweats: All of these events can help us feel better.

This list can go on but one thing must be in place, we must enjoy whatever we choose and when we enjoy our lives we are moving into higher and higher energy. When we are in this higher energy, we are manifesting more of what we want from this physical experience.

An immobile fencer in a balanced guard position, covered in a line, and with a clear mind and a plan for combat is in a stable condition. All directions and speeds of movement are possible. Attack and defense are equally available. The fencer can choose to take the initiative or wait and react to an opponent’s action. However, fencing is a sport of movement, constant change, active attack and defense, and psychological warfare between fencers. All of this creates an instability that can be used effectively if we understand its elements.

As an initial proposition for thought, I suggest that instability creates the potential of having to stop or correct a situation or action before you can take effective action that results in a successful outcome. On the other hand, controlled instability is clearly necessary for successful attacks. The following key areas can create instability in the strip:

Motion. When both shooters are moving at the same speed over the same distance, the condition is essentially stable. Variations of this in speed, distance, movement mechanics, and especially timing create instability in favor of one shooter or the other. Attacking when the opponent has a moving foot closing the gap (the opponent’s negative instability) or from the front foot in the marching step when an opening appears (his positive instability from him) are examples.

body position. Changes in body position affect balance, create openings where there were none before, and introduce inefficiencies into movement. Unbalanced with an unrealized opening and unable to move quickly to deal with the opponent’s attack, counter, or response is a highly vulnerable state.

Blade movement. The stable blade can move as fast as the fencer’s reaction time, movement time, and physical conditioning allow. The moving blade has to be stopped and then redirected at a cost in time and in interruption of the fencer’s ongoing tactical actions.

The plan. It seems obvious that a fencer should go into combat with a plan and then constantly modify and refine that plan based on the performance of both fencer and opponent. Continuing with a plan that no longer addresses the conditions of the match creates instability in the sense that the fencer’s tactical actions do not match the changing situation.

The psychological state of the shooter. Frustration, negative thoughts and self-talk, focusing on negative external factors, and even excessive excitement all erode the positive state of mind required for high performance. They can drive poor decision making and faltering performance, and have a tendency to increasingly reinforce themselves in negative ways, leading to increasingly poor results.

As a fencer, your goal may be to introduce as much instability as possible into your opponent’s game. Similarly, his goal may be to reduce instability in his own. Not all instability is bad: successful attacks are always unstable. Not all stability is good: a stationary fencer who doesn’t move when attacked is simply a target. The key is to find the right balance, using stability where it’s to your advantage (by not reacting to obvious feints, for example) and instability where appropriate.

“I don’t get it. I mean, it’s just amazing to me! It’s like every time she thinks about what she wants, it shows up.” With an emotional exclamation, Mary asked, “How do you do that?”

The question that Maria was asking has been asked by so many and so often. It just seems that some people have the gift of manifestation. They can imagine what they want and it appears. What they have is not magic or illusion, but they understand and use the Law of Attraction.

So what is this – Law of Attraction? Simply put, the Law of Attraction is like the Law of Gravity. It is one of the Universal or Natural Laws of this Universe. Working with mathematical certainty, the Law of Attraction is energy in motion.

With a bit of indignation, Mary replied, “Okay, this concept of energy in motion, how does it work? I understand gravity. You take an egg, drop it on a counter, and it will crack (unless it’s hard, of course). ). ). ). But, energy in motion, I just don’t see? Explain, please! Because ‘energy in motion’ I don’t understand.”

The Law of Attraction, like gravity, works in definite ways, which is why we call it Universal or Natural Law. The main principle is: whatever you are consciously or unconsciously focusing on in your life, you will attract. In other words, what you think you will receive. The more passionately you think about anything, the more you will attract. Therefore, your inner world defines your outer physical experience.

Think about your first comments. You said, “It’s like every time she thinks about what she wants, she shows up.” That is the Law of Attraction in action. The person you were thinking of understands, consciously or unconsciously, how to use this powerful law.

Expectation is a part of this attractive force. What you hope for in life, through the Law of Attraction, is drawn to you. If you focus on paying the bills, you will always have bills to pay. If you focus on not having enough money, you won’t have enough money. In the example she mentioned at the beginning, the lady she was referring to must have expected to receive, and she did! The key is to wait for the things you really want and not to wait for what you don’t want.

An important point to consider: the Law of Attraction does not discriminate. It will give you exactly what you think. So if you want something better, you have to change your thinking. Now let me share five simple ways to make the Law of Attraction work for you.

1. Think about what you want. See it in your mind’s eye. Be clear about your intention. This is a critical step. Too often, people say they want one thing and then think of another. It’s not what you say you want that will attract you… it’s what you really think that determines the outcome. “Everything we are is the result of what we have thought.” Buddha.

2. Take some time and ask yourself, honestly, how you feel about what you have asked or wanted. Go inside yourself and see if you feel it is possible. Write your thoughts about it. Talk to a friend and have them listen carefully and watch and take note of what you say. Are you sabotaging your own desire? Do you want what you want, enough to change your behavior? James Ray (http://www.jamesray.com) in the book ‘The Secret’ states: “When you look at our current state of affairs and define yourself by that, then you condemn yourself to nothing but the same for you”. Your future.”

3. Create a visual image of your intention. Most of us want what we believe exists, so creating a visual representation of what we want helps us stay focused on the desire. A simple example of this step in action relates to attracting money. People at the end of my seminars will often ask how to generate the income they want. The easiest way to create the visual image of what you want is to take the previous year’s income statement (in the US it’s a W-2 form), delete the income numbers there, and re-insert the income numbers. income you want. Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul tells the story of using this visualization process. Needless to say, it worked for him and it can work for you too.

4. Take action. The universe does not know time. Everything is now. But in the world we live in (human existence is linear) we must take steps to achieve what we want. Remember that it takes one step at a time to climb a mountain. In my experience, you can’t deeply desire something, do nothing, and wait for it to show up. The first three steps are mental. This step is physical. If I want to run a marathon and I’m not physically prepared, I must prepare myself. The act of preparing or taking action is putting the Law of Attraction into action. Gravity exists, but to see it demonstrated requires some action. The same goes for the Law of Attraction: action creates action.

5. Lastly, feel what you want as if it were here. While this is a challenge for many, most successful people say that once they’ve made a decision…they feel the same way they would if they had what they wanted. Whether it’s Esther and Jerry Hicks, authors of The Law of Attraction (http://www.abraham-hicks.com) or the many contributors to Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret (http://www.thesecret. tv), they all say the same thing, imagine what you want in your mind, feel it and trust that you have it NOW! The feeling that it exists is key to the actual manifestation of what you really want.

The above five steps, followed consistently, will dramatically improve the power and speed at which you apply the Law of Attraction.

Let me share a simple, yet profound story. My wife and I participate in a program called “Masterminding.” When two or more people hold in consciousness a result or each other’s desire, power increases through the “mastermind.” As the New Year dawned, we looked at our wishes and noticed something profound. One thing we had on our Mastermind list was paying off our credit cards. But, reading that statement from a different perspective, we both realized that “pay off” meant we had debt and therefore allowed the Law of Attraction to make sure that we had “debt to pay off.”

As you can imagine, we immediately changed that. We replaced our old wish with the following statement from Mastermind: “Money and abundance flow easily and effortlessly into our lives.” That night we did our Mastermind session where we read aloud what we wanted. The next day, I received a call from my mother saying that my wife and I would each receive a check. For estate and tax purposes, he needed to make two donations.

Now, attracting money “easily and effortlessly” is a much easier way to reduce debt or attract what you want than to keep our previous desire in consciousness. When actions like this happen, it only reinforces the power of the Law of Attraction.

So, apart from reading this article, how can people get a better understanding of the Law of Attraction? My “Make It Happen” seminar focuses almost entirely on the methods and benefits of the Law of Attraction.
