From The Secret - Are You The Captain of Your Ship?

If you want to attract money, you may find that you have more power by imagining having the things you want the money for. If there is a lack of money in your life, then your feelings and beliefs about money are most likely not very good, and thinking instead about having the things money will buy may feel much better. You have to learn to decipher your feelings and choose the thoughts that feel better to you.The thoughts that feel better are where your power is.

When people first start using The Secret, they may get a little scared of thinking negative thoughts. Because of that fear, when they think a good thought, immediately the opposite thought may come into their mind. This is not unusual. However, I want you to know that this phase passes very, very quickly. And the easiest way for it to pass is to pay no attention whatsoever to the negative thoughts. Just ignore them and then think a good thought. When a negative thought comes, just shrug it off as if you don't care about it one bit, and think a good thought to replace it.

"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

-MARCUS AURELIUS ANTONINUS AUGUSTUS(121-180)

One of the principal reasons why so many fail to get what they want is because they do not definitely know what they want, or because they change their wants almost every day.

"Know what you want and continue to want it. You will get it if you combine desire with faith. The power of desire when combined with faith becomes invincible."

-CHRISTIAN D. LARSON(1874-1954)Your Forces and How to Use Them

A question you must ask yourself is who is the captain of your ship? You know that if no-one is steering a ship then that ship will be battered about in the seas and crash into rocks. Think of your body as a ship and your mind as the engine, and you as the captain of your ship! Take charge of your ship so that you can use the power of your engine to steer the ship to the destination you want.

Be aware of the big difference between inspired action and activity. Activity comes from the brain-mind and is rooted in disbelief and lack of faith - you are taking action to "make" your desire happen. Inspired action is allowing the law to work through you and to move you. Activity feels hard. Inspired action feels wonderful.

Also, you can most certainly help others through your thoughts, and they can help you. Every good thought you send to another is a living force. However, the person you are sending the thought to has to be asking for the same thing you are sending. If the person does not want it, then they are not in harmony with your thought frequency, and it will not penetrate them.

However, you cannot create in another's life against their will, but if it is something they want, your thoughts are a real force that helps them.
