This is not only a catchy saying, it is a quantum physics reality. When you look at an atom through a sub-atomic microscope at its smallest level you will find a quark. Now here is the interesting part, as you are looking at the quark, it will change depending on how you look at it or who is looking at it. This means, we have the ability to change matter (things) just by the way we see them!
We only have two choices, either good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or unhealthy, happy or sad, calm or stressed out, kind or cruel, loved or unloved.
If your world is not the way you want it, then you need to change the way you see it. When you see the world as a beautiful place, full of abundance and loving people who are attracted to you, to assist you in your quest for "Success and Happiness" then you will materialize it. This leads us to the Law of Attraction .
The Law of Attraction works all the time. We will attract into our lives whatever we think about.
THINK about it... did you ever say to yourself "I need to make more money." Yet your feeling or emotion is you don't have enough so: you conceive that money is important however you believe that you don't have enough and you feel down deep that you will never have enough, thus the Law of Attraction kicks in and everything in your world turns to garbage.
Money is only paper, and millions of dollars are printed up every day. If you don't have enough it's because you are attracting the LACK of money instead of the ABUNDANCE of money.
This Law of Attraction works for everything and everyone!
Trust it will work for you, believe that you deserve it and leave the HOW to a higher authority!

Prosperity
Wouldn’t it be great if you had unlimited prosperity in wealth, health, peace of mind, intelligence, and relationships? Well, you can; all you need to do is to turn your “I can’t” into “I can”.
Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? It can’t be that simple, can it? Yes, it can. You have the ability to change your life right now, right where you are, and it won’t cost you a dime. If it is so simple then why doesn’t everyone do it? First, because they don’t believe it. And, second, because we’ve been programmed since childhood; we are told, “don’t do this, don’t do that, you cannot have it”, etc. We are all guilty of this behavior and so are our parents, and so are our parent’s parents, way back to the so-called Garden of Eden.
Your Subconscious Mind will grant anything you ask of it, as long as you really desire it, and if it doesn’t hurt someone else. Your Subconscious Mind has been granting your wishes since you were born. When you say, “I can’t do that,” your Subconscious Mind says, “Okay, I will make sure you fail every time you try it.” If you say, “Every September I come down with a cold,” your Subconscious Mind says, “Okay, let me put that on my calendar.” How about I can’t roller skate? Your Subconscious Mind says, “Okay, I’ll make you fall just as soon as you put on the skates.” How about “I can’t quit smoking, besides it relaxes me?” Your Subconscious Mind says, “Fine, stay relaxed at least until it burns a hole in your lungs.” How about, “I can’t change; this is just the way I am?” Your Subconscious Mind loves this one. It says, “Okay you’re broke, unhappy, sickly, and unloved, this is the way I will keep you.”
Look at people who want to use their race or religion as an excuse for not succeeding. Folks, the statue of limitations has run out on those excuses. I was flipping through my four hundred channels the other day trying to find something to look at that wasn’t a waste of my time. I came across a George Lopez special and the first thing out of his mouth was, “We are MexiCANS, not MexiCAN’TS.” I wonder how many got the message. Bill Cosby was ridiculed by black leaders when he tried to get the same message across. The message is simple. Say, “No” to I can’t.” Say, “No” to it can’t be done.” Say, “No” to I can’t change.” Say, “No” to illness, hatred, poverty, prejudice.
Today’s Exercise: Eliminate the word “can’t” from your vocabulary.
Today’s Affirmation: I attract success and happiness into my life every day.
Points to Ponder: Your Subconscious Mind will grant you anything you ask.

Happiness Is Having No Fear
I was going over with my son Chris, all the things his eight-year-old daughter, Raven, was involved in. Would you believe this week she had to practice her ice skating, horseback riding, and tennis lessons. She also had time to swim three days in her pool, and she loves to draw and do art work, not to mention a full week in school.
Raven’s willingness to try new things without any fear or trepidation is really refreshing, especially after dealing with grown-ups all day who need an act of congress to change their underwear.
Most children have no fear of anything unless a grown-up tells them they can’t. In the Love chapter, I told you the story about a boy who would ride his two-wheel bicycle on the top rail of a picket fence. Just thinking about it scares the heck out of me. Anyway, he did for years; it must have been a sight to see. Then one day a grown-up saw him and told him to get down or he would fall and hurt himself severely. The boy being a nice respectable child obeyed his elder and got down. Unfortunately, from that day forward he was never able to duplicate what he had been doing naturally for a couple of years.
In my opinion, this is a tragedy. The grown-up instilled his own fear in the boy and that boy will probably carry that fear the rest of his life. I’m very proud of Chris and his wife, Belle for allowing Raven to experience life’s great pleasures without any fear.
Happiness is having no fear.
Happiness is trying new things.
Happiness is letting go.
Happiness is family.
Today’s Exercise: If you have a choice of a few bumps or fear, pick the bumps all the time.
Today’s Affirmation: I am as happy as I make up my mind to be.

Brain vs. Mind
When we refer to someone who is smart, we refer to him or her as a “Brain,” as if our brain was the difference in our ability to read or not. The brain is simply and organ, a most wondrous organ no doubt but the brain takes orders from our Subconscious Mind. Our Subconscious Mind controls the brain for all bodily functions while our Conscious Mind handles all our motor skills. Our Subconscious Mind can control our brain to keep us healthy, to make adjustments in our physical abilities, and even to replace damage or lost functions. Our Subconscious Mind determines our fate in life. Many people rose to great heights with little or no formal education and many highly educated walk the street homeless. Our Subconscious Mind, not our brain, can cure a terminal disease.
We have begun to understand the Law of The Power of Positive Thinking. “As a man thinketh in his heart so shall he be!,” has been around for two thousand years yet the vast majority of human beings, probably ninety-five percent of all humankind has no idea of this basic law. You are now exposed to it. How will you use it to make your life better?
Go to Las Vegas, and watch people put money after money into slot machines that are programmed so that the odds are heavily favored to the house. When you ask many people why they gamble, they say because it’s fun, yet, when you look at their faces you don’t see too many of them having fun.
The person who constantly impresses upon their Subconscious Mind that they are unlucky and that fate is against them, compounds the unfavorable odds even more. Look at the person who declares, “I’m lucky, I always win,” and lo and behold more times than not despite the odds, always seems to come home with more money than they went with. Professional gamblers know they are going to win, not every time out, but in the long run, their Subconscious Mind is programmed for success and they win despite the odds. There is a new poker game in town called Texas Hold ‘Em. Thousands of people enter this tournament; yet, invariably it’s the same few who end up playing for the big money. They are not smarter, they don’t get better cards, and they are not luckier. They just believe in their Subconscious Mind that they are going to go home winners. We can do this in our every day life. We must believe we can succeed. We must condition our Subconscious Mind so that no negative thinking can enter our world. We have one big edge; very few people know this and practice it, so to get ahead is not that difficult. Step away from the crowd; be different. Use your resources and control your thinking and any setbacks or temporary failures are just stepping stones to the success of your conviction.
Today’s Exercise: Don’t play the lottery today, buy a book.
Today’s Affirmation: I am perfect, God made me.
Points to Ponder: Use your resources and control your thinking and any setbacks or temporary failures are just stepping stones to the success of your conviction.

Listen to Yourself
Make a continuous effort to listen more carefully to your inner insights; that little voice that speaks to you above the noise of the crowd. This voice is your private hotline to God. It may come as thought; a daydream, or a sign on a building. You may have dismissed this voice as insignificant; too outrageous, or just hopeful thinking, but if these thoughts seem to persist particularly if they relate to new activities and challenges, then they are not there by accident.
Those tenacious thoughts that won’t go away should be taken seriously. They are thoughts of an all-knowing, infinite Creator who is saying to you, “Why do you keep ignoring the genius that I have created in you? Why do you keep settling for less, when I have great plans for you? You have a unique gift to offer this world, and I have made you unique in the entire history of humankind.”
David Hawkins writes in the book Power vs. Force, “From our studies it appears that the alignment of one’s goals and values with high energy attractions is more closely associated with genius than anything else.” Be a lover of life. Refuse to have thoughts of bigotry; hatred; anxiety; anger, and most important, judgment.
Trust yourself. As a piece of God, your genius will sprout forward and blossom as the springtime flowers. Start with judgment. We are so quick to judge other people because they do not think, act, or talk like us. We want to try to live their lives for them. We see only those things that are different and classify them as being wrong. Look for the genius in others. Pay attention to the greatness you observe in as many people as possible. If at first you don’t see it, then look harder. You cannot see the genius in others if you cannot see the genius in yourself. Simplify your life and rid yourself of complications, meaningless rules, must dos, have tos, and so on. By un-complicating your life and removing the nit picky little details that keep you in constant disharmony, you will open the channel that connects you to the greatest source in the universe.
Today’s Exercise: Take twenty or thirty minutes in complete silence and meditate.
Today’s Affirmation: I have a positive mental attitude, therefore I am a success.
Points to Ponder: If at first you don’t see it, then look harder. You cannot see the genius in others if you cannot see the genius in yourself.

Hypnotism vs. You
Just about everyone has seen a hypnotist at work, usually on a stage or at a party for amusement purposes. Psychiatrists, law enforcement agencies, and other professionals use hypnotism every day to get to the root of a problem or to help a patient with something as simple as to stop smoking.
How do they do it? First, they put the Conscious Mind of the person to sleep. Then they go directly to the Subconscious Mind with a suggestion or command. The Subconscious Mind will act on that command no matter how silly or sincere it is. The hypnotist may go back thirty years and recall what the person did fifty days after their third birthday. The person will remember everything including sounds of a bird chirping, colors, smells, everything. The hypnotist will then wake up the person’s Conscious Mind and the person will recall nothing.
This stage act is the secret to a successful and happy life, however, you can’t very well carry around your own personal hypnotist to put you to sleep every time you need to work on a particular part of your life, but you can, your Conscious Mind can take the place of the hypnotist and your power will be magnified a thousand times because you will be working on your own desires.
The mighty Subconscious Mind is under your control. It will respond one hundred percent to whatever either a hypnotist or your Conscious Mind demands of it. Why would you not believe or take advantage of the most wondrous power endowed to you by God?
Today’s Exercise: Make up your mind today, right now, that you are in complete control of your universe.
Today’s Affirmation: I am enthusiastic and confident.

Exercise for the Mind
Just as your body needs exercise to stay in shape, so does your mind. Now, reach out and stretch your mind. Try to comprehend unlimited thought and unlimited supply.
Plant the seed of desire. Nourish it with a clear visualization of the ripened fruit. Water it with sincere faith, but leave the HOW to God.
Open your mind. Keep yourself in a state of receptivity. Gain an attitude in which you are constantly expecting good to happen to you. Don’t listen to those who say it can’t be done.
There is a channel between you and God. It’s called your Subconscious Mind. It’s kind of like your Aorta artery. If your artery gets clogged with garbage, you will die. If your Subconscious Mind gets clogged with negative thinking, fear, or self-doubt, then you become like so many other “walking dead.”
It’s not too late to call “Roto-Rooter”. Clear your thinking. Let go, and let God. You have the same channel to God as every other human being. Close your eyes and stop your thinking. Well, slow it down anyway. Be calm and listen; the next thought you hear will be a message from God. The message is clear: Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and the door shall be open. Why in the world would we try to go through life without using this power?
In order to clear the channel, we need to watch what we put into our Subconscious Mind. Let’s start with TV. The majority of shows on TV are about killing, prejudice, infidelity, or are just plain stupid. I have four hundred channels on my TV, and outside of sports, Discovery, PBS, and the History Channel, the rest are a waste. How about the newspaper? Really want to get screwed up? Well, that’s a good place to start. Music! Music is supposed to calm the savage beast. Music today is the savage beast. You may ask how you are supposed to be entertained? Have you ever heard of a book? You may say that you read. Playboy is not a book.
When you change the things your read, the things you read will change your life.
Today’s Exercise: Turn off the TV for twenty-four hours.
Today’s Affirmation: I am a calm, peaceful and patient person.

Believe in Your Ability
“Faith” is a word that has been misused, misapplied, and misunderstood. To many, it means simply an attitude of mind, which will accept anything that it is told to the mind merely because someone else said it. But, those who have penetrated deep into the meaning of the word “faith’ know it means something far more real than this. To those who understand the law, faith is the contact one rises to meet the forces of life and nature. It is the means for which one receives the inflow of the power that is behind and in all things. Understanding this power allows the ability to apply that power to the running of one’s own affairs.
For you to attain financial success you must first have faith in yourself, second faith in others, and third faith in the Law of Attraction.
What is the law? “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” So simple, yet, so few people know this law. They may have heard of the law in every motivational book ever written from the Bible to Think and Grow Rich, yet many people think success is a matter of luck, winning the lottery, or something that always happens to someone else.
I remember an old story, I’m not sure exactly how it went. It’s something like this. The gods in the story got together one day and they said, “Let’s give every human being the secret to success but, let’s not make it too easy to find or it will be worthless.” One god suggested that they hide it at the top of the highest mountain but the other gods argued that it would be too easy to find. Another suggested that they hide it deep in the forest. They decided that it would still be too easy to find. Maybe they could hide it deep in the ocean. They figured once it was known every get rich quick mentality would rush to it and it would be worthless. Then one of the gods said, “I know a perfect place to hide the secret of success, let’s hide it in their minds, most people will never look there.”
“What so ever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve.”
Today’s Exercise: Recommended Reading: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
Today’s Affirmation: The kingdom of God is within me.

Lack of Persistence
I have a personal story about persistence. Ten years ago, I was in partnership with a guy in the debt consolidation business. Anyway, I thought I was a partner so I wasn’t taking any money out of the business. My wife was working in the business as a secretary, just so we had some money for food and rent. My wife, who is a lot smarter than I am said to me one day, “Are you sure you’re his partner? Show me the papers.” I didn’t have any partnership papers, all I had was a handshake, so I asked him to sign an agreement. His answer floored me. He said, “No, we never were partners.” I saw red, told my wife to get her purse, and we walked out of the office.
As it happens, we walked right into the office-building complex’s landlord. I asked him if he still had the office around the corner vacant, he replied that he did. I said, “Good, I want it, but I don’t have the first month’s rent.”
He said, “Oh?”
“I don’t have the last month’s rent either; nor do I have any security deposit.”
He asked, “Is that all?”
I said, “No, do you have any furniture I can borrow?”
To make a long story short, he gave the keys to me and helped me carry two desks and two chairs into the office.
The next day, my “ex-partner” and his secretary came over. They took one look at us and said, “You won’t last two weeks in this business.”
Then, my wife did something I’ll never forget. She jumped to her feet and said, “Look around you. This is the lowest you will ever see us. You don’t know my husband, he never gives up.” Well I had my marching orders. I had no choice but to persist. Ten years later, we are still in the business and it has provided a lifestyle for me, my wife, two sons, and their families that we could hardly dream of. My wife’s conviction and my persistence have provided me with the opportunity to bring this philosophy to you.
Today’s Exercise: Every day, never give up.
Today’s Affirmation: I do only those things that make me successful.
Points to Ponder: Once you have proven to the world that you will stop at nothing, the system gives in and anything you ask for is yours.

The next day, my “ex-partner” and his secretary came over. They took one look at us and said, “You won’t last two weeks in this business.”
Then, my wife did something I’ll never forget. She jumped to her feet and said, “Look around you. This is the lowest you will ever see us. You don’t know my husband, he never gives up.” Well I had my marching orders. I had no choice but to persist. Ten years later, we are still in the business and it has provided a lifestyle for me, my wife, two sons, and their families that we could hardly dream of. My wife’s conviction and my persistence have provided me with the opportunity to bring this philosophy to you.
Today’s Exercise: Every day, never give up.
Today’s Affirmation: I do only those things that make me successful.
Points to Ponder: Once you have proven to the world that you will stop at nothing, the system gives in and anything you ask for is yours.
