This is an example of a time you are able to leave your worries about money behind and take a leap into an extravagant lifestyle. This same principle can be applied to the feeling rich aspect of the Law of Attraction. You don’t have to actually go there, all that is needed is time and a little creativity.

Feeling Rich Exercise

Come up with ways to create the feeling rich experience for you, and write them down. Then follow through and do those things. Practice this exercise for a duration of 30 minutes, once a week.

This can be going to a favorite coffee shop and purchasing your favorite beverage. You can even go to a fancy restaurant and order an appetizer that you have always wanted to try. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to experience this. Just by doing this simple exercise you can experience feeling rich instantly.

This is a little exercise that has a profound impact.  After all, it’s not just the concept of feeling rich that can be applied to money, but to your overall wealth. That is the ultimate feeling of richness.

1. Visual reminder- Once you are able to see your goal clearly, you can remain focused and motivated to achieve it. Any kind of visual reminder can motivate and drive you to succeed. Some people post a picture of their ‘dream body’ on their fridge when they are trying to lose weight or use their ‘ dream car’ as their computer screen saver at work.

2. Search for role models- Look for inspiration from those who are on the same path as you, it could be your father, a friend or a CEO of a company. Ask questions and allow their positive energy to influence you. Learn from the experts and their experiences, of how to get where you want to go.

3. Visualize yourself at the end- Visualization is important to improve yourself and attain your goals, therefore you must see or visualize yourself there. Focus on the direction you want to go for success, create positive thoughts and positive visual images in your mind. Visualize yourself losing weight and fitting into that size 10, feel the breeze on your cheeks as you drive that sports car. Seeing is believing!

4. Make use of time lines- Keeping track of your successes and/or achievements can help you put your goals into perspective to see how far you have come. To improve yourself, it is important that you recognize your efforts and be proud of what you have done, are currently doing and where you are going.

5. Keep jealously aside- To watch someone on a similar path, attain their goals sooner than you, can be hard for you to accept, but you need to get rid of this envy and resentment. Overcome these feelings and you will be that much closer to reaching your own success.

Once you start achieving success, you will see opportunities appear and you will be poised to take action and step into your greatness.

What’s Our Problem?

I think 99.99% of the problems we face as human beings lies within this one area of misunderstanding. It is the belief in the fact that we are separate, meaning I’’m separate from you, you’’re separate from the next person. It’s this disbelief or the failure of believing that we are all one. Not in the kind of corny, we-are-the-world type of scenario, but really, we are all one entity. We are different and distinctive individuations of that one entity, but we are all one.

We Are All One

When you think about the beginning or the source, whether you believe in the Big Bang, or whether you believe in the creationism theories, it doesn’’t matter. It’’s the exact same scenario that everything  began as one, and everything is still a part of The One. Regardless if  that “One”  is God, dense matter, or whatever you believe, – we are all one, because we all came from Source.

I think what happens, over time and over years in our evolution of intellect, we have gotten away from that understanding that we are all one entity. That’’s where the belief in separatism, and specifically, duality comes into play – the difference between good and evil, right and wrong, – those types of things.

I say, specifically ‘entity,’ and not ‘we’re one people,’ because I think it encompasses all things, trees, grass – everything comes from one Source. Again, I have to emphasize, it doesn’’t matter what your religious or scientific background is, whether you believe in evolution or creationism. Everything started from a single Source, and if everything started from that single Source, then that means that everything is that Source. There is no other than The Source. It’’s just Source, regardless, whether your opinion of Source is dense matter or God. We’’re all that, or we’’re all OF that, if you will. If we’’re all that, we’’re all one.

The Bottom Line

So, all the things that most people would have wished to have  gone away such as, war, hate, anger, fear, etc., would have been abolished. There would be no need for people to perpetuate those acts, if we truly understood that we are all one. You cannot do anything to anyone else that is not also done unto yourself. So, you wouldn’’t yell, steal from, hit, or hurt another person, because you would know that you would ultimately be yelling, stealing from, hitting, or hurting yourself.

To answer the question, if I had one wish, that wish would be that everyone understood and truly accepted the reality that we are all one.

Practical Application

All I want you to do is try these two things for a whole week (7 days):

1. Keep a smile on your face
2. Greet everyone you meet with a heartfelt hello

I want you to take notice of the positive things that will manifest from that simple act of kindness. Keep in mind, while practicing this, that you are one with all and treat everything accordingly.

Know Yourself

I always talk about the importance of knowing yourself. This is critically important as it relates to any subject matter, especially dealing with the Law of Attraction. So the key is knowing yourself, and what your mind, body, and psyche respond to.

-One Size Doesn’t Fit All

I don’t believe that something that worked for one person is going to work for everyone. Someone could get good results doing visualization, someone else could get poor results. One person I know does well in meditating and I also know people who can’t meditate more than a-second-and-a half.

–Will You Allow Your Negative Motivator to Help or Hurt?

When we talk about a negative motivator, – let’s go back to Bill’s situation (from Part 1) where the sister says, “You’ll never be good enough. You’ll always be a drunk…” Some people will listen to that and get discouraged.

Someone may say, “You’ll never do good in business by yourself ‘cause you’re horrible at math”. Or “You’re unorganized and you’ll never be successful in business”. You may believe that to the degree where you decide not to start that business. That’s something that you have to be aware of within yourself. In Bill Bartman’s story, he used it as a negative motivator. Will you?

Practical Application

How Did He Do It?

This is what Bill Bartmand did – he took the sister’s name, Wendy, and put it on his desk. At that time he was in college, and when it came time for him to go out and party when he needed to be studying, or if he was working and just wanted to quit, he looked at her name and remembered what she had said about him, and he pushed through whatever he needed to push through. You can do this too!

• Make a list of those who you can use as negative motivators
• Put this list somewhere you will be able to see it regularly throughout the day
• When you see this list of negative motivators allow the feelings to push you forward in a positive direction

He carried this practice into his adult and business life as well. Clearly, after having become a billionaire, we see that his negative motivator had a positive impact on his life.

-Important Disclaimer

That is why I say you have to know yourself, because…WARNING (pay attention to this part) WARNING, a negative motivator – if you’re very sensitive, empathetic, emotional, etc. – may have a “negative impact” on you. In this case you may want to avoid those types of situations. However, if you know that the people who doubt you can ultimately push you through, even when you’re doubting yourself, then you can use these negative motivators in your life.

Look at those areas where you may not be making significant progress based on the positive motivators you’ve surrounded yourself with. Maybe a negative motivator is now the answer for you.

What’s A Hater?

To give you a background to know what a “hater” is. A hater is one who is typically jealous or envious of someone else to the degree where they have either disdain or dislike for that person for no other reason than jealousy. That would be your technical definition of a hater.

It’s one thing to be jealous but it’s another thing to say, “Oh, that such-and-such; he’s nothing”, or “He thinks he’s better than so-and-so”, or “He’s really not that good”. That’s what a hater is. It’s someone who has disdain for someone else, specifically and solely based on jealousy and for no other reason.

Negative Motivators

So this phrase, “Let your haters be your motivators,” I think, is a very provocative concept. I say this because I remember listening to Bill Bartman, who is a billionaire, and he’s also known as the Unknown Billionaire, written up in four entrepreneur magazines and such. He talked about this concept that I’ve been thinking about for quite some time, and he calls it “negative motivators”.

He goes into telling this story about how his fiancée at the time, sister,was very down on him. He had made some bad choices, if you will, and had grown up with a certain type of lifestyle. And this sister would say, “Oh, you’re not good enough for my sister; you’re just a loser, you’re just a drunk”…, blah-blah-blah.

He used that sister as a negative motivator. He used her to help propel him forward. That’s what a negative motivator is – it’s a seemingly negative event, negative occurrence, and/or person/people that can propel you forward in life.

Practical Application

1. Think about the people or situations around you right now that you can use as negative motivators to move you from one place in life to the next or to reach that next goal.
2. Make a list of these people or situations that you can use to make positive changes in your life, however large or small that change may be.
3. Next to each person or situation write how you can use this negative motivator to create something positive for yourself.

As you find yourself around the people or situations listed remember your list and how you want to continue moving in a positive direction. Remind yourself of your goals, the lifestyle you want, and how you see yourself achieving them. Before you know it, you too will be telling amazing stories about your haters being your motivators.

If you want to bring more wealth into your life, you need to put your attention on having money – not wishing for money, but possessing it now. You can do this by simply visualizing things and situations that give you the feeling of being wealthy, or you can use physical aids to help make the experience more tangible.

Here are a few examples:

• Deposit Funds into Your Account-
  Get some blank deposit slips at your bank.  Imagine you have a large amount of money you want to put into your account, and then actually fill out a deposit slip. Think about how good it feels to fill out the deposit slip and give it, along with a pile of cash or a large check, to the teller. You may never have had the experience of writing down or seeing that many zeros before, so this will help make the mental exercise  feel more real.
• Write Checks for the Items You Want-
  Get some checks from an unused account, or photocopy a blank check. Pull out a catalogue and look through the pages.  When you see something you want, write out a check for it.  Doesn’t it feel good to write out a large check?  You can then actually put it in an envelope and address it – you could even make a special “mailbox” to send your order through the universe. Now, feel happy and excited about receiving the items in the mail soon.
• Increase the Amount in Your Checkbook Balance-
  Close your eyes, and see another $10,000.00 or $100,000.00 in your checkbook balance – instead of seeing $240.00, imagine that it’s $10,240.00.  Get a vivid image of that nice big number.  Feel good about the large amount of money that’s yours to spend. You want to get used to seeing and writing these amounts on a regular basis.

These exercises, with or without the physical “props”, will help you send out a vibration of prosperity.  Use your imagination to think of other exercises like these, and practice them regularly.  The more you feel wealthy, the more the Law of Attraction will compel the universe to bring wealth to you.

Rather than wishing for money, you need to do whatever you can to feel as if you already have it.  I understand that this can be hard to do when your bank statement tells you that you’re currently broke, but it can be done.

For example, don’t just say to yourself that you’d like a nice suit, imagine that you own it right now.  Find a picture of a suit that you like, and picture it being in your closet.  See yourself putting it on and looking in the mirror – don’t you look good in it?  Make sure that you focus on specific details: button the buttons, put your hands in the pockets, adjust your tie (and check to see if your fly is open).

Here are some more things you might try in order to make your visualizations as real as possible:

• Go to an auto dealership and test-drive the car of your dreams.
• Go to an expensive restaurant.  Look through the menu and consider ordering the steak and lobster, but then decide that you’re pretty full and that you’ll just get a dessert.
• Call a real estate agent and have them show you an expensive home.  Walk through it, and imagine yourself watching television in the living room, playing pool in the game room, and lounging in the whirlpool while you drink a glass of wine.

I think you get my point.  Do whatever you can to feel wealthy at this moment – now!  You’ll then be more in tune with having money and the things that money can buy.  This will be the vibration that you send out into the universe, and this will be what the universe will deliver to you.

Here’s a nice exercise designed to help you get from where you are today to where you want to be – on a vibrational level.

• Take a piece of paper and write at the top of the paper “where you are now”. Let’s say you don’t have a lot of money, and your goal is to become wealthy.  Write down, “I am not wealthy.” Consider how you feel about that – probably not very good.  Face your situation head on.  Say to yourself, “I’m not rich, and I don’t feel good about it.”  That feeling is telling you that your inner self wants to move from that place.
• Write on the bottom of the page “I am wealthy”. That’s where you want to be.  Consider how you will feel when that becomes your reality.  You will feel relief and joy.
• The blank space in between these two statements represent your vibrational gap. This is the gap between your present poverty and your future wealth.  It may seem like a big gap, but it’s one that you must close in order to make your desire a reality.
• Start to fill in the empty space in stages. Write statements that gradually move you from the top statement to the one at the bottom.  For example, “I have the ability to create more wealth.” Then continue: “There are many people who were poor who became wealthy, this is also possible for me.” Keep writing more and more positive statements about yourself:  “I am a talented person who has much to offer the world.”  “My abilities are worth a lot to the right person.” Or write hopeful things such as, “Wealth will come to me in abundance and in unexpected ways.” “I accept wealth through all avenues.”
• Keep filling in the blank space on the paper with statements that bring you closer to “I am wealthy”. Then look at the page.  There used to be a huge gap between the top and bottom statements, just as there was a big emotional difference between where you find yourself now and where you want to be.  You can see that there are not huge leaps between the individual sentences you wrote – each one was just slightly more positive.  You got from the first statement to the last in small, steady stages that were all believable.

You probably noticed that as you wrote each sentence, you felt a little more positive.  The emotional gap was closed in a step-by-step fashion.  You didn’t need to go from Sadness to Joy in a single bound – you could work your way there by focusing on good and then greater things.

Try this exercise yourself.  This is a great way to put the Law of Attraction into practice.  You’ll find it will work wonders.

Living the Law of Attraction involves getting in tune with and raising your vibrational resonance towards those things you desire. To do this, you want to create the feeling of having those things now.

One thing you can do to give yourself the feeling of having more money now is to simply add money into your check book ledger. Now, remember that this is an exercise – I don’t want anyone to bounce checks, and then blame me!

• What Do You Want? When you look at your balance and see very little there, you can’t help but be reminded of what you don’t have. You need to remind yourself of what you want to have. You want that to be your dominant vibration. For example: “I have plenty of money” or “I am creating for myself additional income in my bank account.”
• Write It Down What I have done in the past is to add $10,000.00 to my balance. It’s a nice round number, and not too big to be unbelievable. You can easily recognize this as “extra” money and won’t mistakenly spend it. Think of it as money you could spend if you wanted to, but that you choose not to.
• Visual Reminder When you look at your balance, you will see this nice big number there. It’s a visual reminder that there is abundance in your life. No, your not going to spend it now, but it is yours.

See this $10,000.00 check as your money, and you’re just waiting for it to clear. Begin to spend it mentally, think about what you will do with this money and how will it make you feel.

This is how you can live the Law of Attraction, and you will receive whatever you are most in tune with. So be prepared for your bank account to overflow with abundance!

I’ve found a good exercise that will allow you to use the positive feelings you have from being grateful to attract specific things that you want.

1. I Am Grateful For… Write down two or three things that you are already grateful for. For example: I am grateful for my health, my family, and my career. Go into detail about why you are grateful for each of these things.
2. Visualize Think about what you are grateful you for and feel happy about having these things. For example: Close your eyes and truly see yourself healthy and happy with your family and why you appreciate them. Focus and hold on to that fuzzy happy feeling, let a smile come across your face.
3. Feel In The Present Moment Write down one thing that you want that you don’t currently have, and feel that same feeling of gratitude as if it is already yours. For example: You may want a promotion at work,  imagine being promoted right now. How does it make you feel at this present moment to be promoted? What are you going to be able to do with the extra money, time or perks? Focus and hold on to that positive feeling. Feel grateful and happy about this promotion in the same way you’re grateful for the position you already possess.
4. Repeat Continue to repeat this pattern – focus on two or three things that you are happy you currently have, and then focus on one thing that you want.

Be Grateful You Are Living the Law of Attraction

This is living the Law of Attraction: using the feeling of gratitude to bring into your life more things to be grateful for.  Try to blur the line between things that you have now, and the things that you desire.  The universe responds to the way you feel about things.  If you can feel happy about things that you want to attract, by law they must be delivered to you.
