Why I chose to read this book?
I came across this book at a point when I had a professional goal to meet without any idea as to what steps should be taken take to achieve it.
My Rating:
4/5
Personal take-away:
Very powerful and the bullet-list format makes it a “get-to-the-point” read. However, some points are repeated quite often- which can also be perceived as more stress being put on important takeaways.
How this book is arranged?
The complete book is divided into several small chapters, and each chapter is a bullet-point list. This format makes the book a very quick read.
Summary:
Although a book like this is a summary in itself, below you can find some of my take-aways from this wonderful and easy read:
1) On Reality
“If we understood the power of our thoughts, we would guard them more closely. If we understood the awesome power of our words, we would prefer silence to almost anything negative…” – Bettie Eadie
- We literally create our reality.
- We become what we think.
- Everything has a frequency, and vibrating energy continuously.
- Frequency your energy is vibrating is attracting other energy similar to that.
- You create your reality with thoughts, words, feelings, and actions. Each of these instruments produces a form of energy.
2) On Tools of Creation: Thoughts and Words
- Be careful of the words you speak, for your words are extremely creative in the physical world.
- You can create a beautiful life with the words you speak or you can burn your life to the ground using the same instrument.
- Continuously speaking words of love, gratitude, and prosperity will eventually bring those things into your life.
- Words are thoughts that have been expressed, and once spoken, get moved out into the universe as commands. Watch your words.
- Speak well of others, for what you say about them, will be said about you.
- If we hold a positive thought and feeling, we attract to us positive situations, people, and objects that match that thought and feeling.
- If we are speaking negative words, we are attracting negative situations, people, and circumstances that match those words.
- Helping others in their tough situations will be returned to you in one form or another.
- Words are an extremely vibratory force in the universe.
- The vibrations of spoken word affects the universe with greater impact. Greater than just mere thought.
- Watch what you say; you’re always attracting the equivalent of your residual words.
- Talk about what you want as if you already have it.
- Let your words act as soldiers, bringing back to you all the good you’ve previously spoken. The world is at your command. (Literally)
- Every thought you think, and every word you speak is an affirmation.
- Don’t entertain negative thoughts: The more you entertain negative thoughts, the more negative thoughts will enter your mind.
- When a negative thought enters your mind, and you entertain that thought with feeling and emotion, you are actually giving power to that thought.
- Whenever a negative thought enters your mind, don’t give it any attention and consciously focus on something that brings you happiness.
- If you keep focused on positive things, sooner or later you will have attracted so many like- minded positive thoughts.
- Don’t complain about problems and displeasing things.
- Talk about the good things in life and about the prosperity and good health you are experiencing.
- Train your mind to only focus on the things you want to manifest in your life.
- Talk about the lifestyle you prefer and about the good that is constantly flowing in your life. Let this be your dominate speech and thought pattern.
- The Law of cause and effect: What you give out is what you get back; whatever seed you plant in the soil of your mind, this will produce exactly after its kind.
3) Feelings and Actions for Abundance
“If constructive thoughts are planted, positive outcomes will emerge”.
- Make friends with money on a mental level.
- Money is nothing but energy, and you can attract that energy into your life by feeling as though you ALREADY acquired it.
- Quite literally talk to my money.
- Go on a two week “news fast”. The evening news spews hatred, destruction, and all forms of negativity.
- The Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction (my favorite universal law) states that like attracts like in the physical world. So whatever you are feeling this very moment is in the process of becoming.
- Whatever frequency your feelings are vibrating on is an exact replica of your outside world.
- We are all spiritually connected, and since we are connected, what I do to others has to come back around to me.
- Don’t be afraid to give away large portions of money. The universal Law of Attraction states that what you give has to be returned to you. But for some odd reason, it’s usually multiplied!
- Smiling at a random stranger is more powerful and important than you realize. A simple smile is a transference of positive energy to an individual, which causes a ripple effect.
- One small act of kindness can change the world.
- Writing a list of your goals with a deadline is vastly important.
- Too many people are floating aimlessly with no clear direction in life. Here’s a tip, if you don’t know what your life’s purpose is, start writing down the things you love doing
- A wise man is always aware of his mood. For what he feels, he draws into his life. Your mood, or emotion, is the architect of your life experiences.
- Train yourself to always be aware of how you’re feeling.
- Forming a habit of constantly observing how you feel.
- Don’t try to take major leaps from feeling extremely negative to feeling extremely positive. Just feel a little better.
- To master creating your reality, you have to be aware of what you’re feeling at any moment. If you can remember the feeling of your last creation, you can create anything using that same emotional frequency.
- “Fake it, till you make it”.
- Feelings and emotions are the driving force of creation.
- If you can match the feelings or the mood that you held during any past situation, you will produce the same outcome, guaranteed.
4) How to Be Your Best And Expect The best
“You get what you expect in life. Expect great things in life. Live your best life.”
- Most people don’t want to have the best because they feel they can’t afford it.
- Always remember that universe/God is unlimited and will support any financial belief you create for yourself.
- Whatever you truly believe, God/universe is moving mountains and obstacles to match your belief! Positive or negative… so focus on the positive.
- If you believe you aren’t good enough, the universe will match that belief and prove you right.
- If you believe that you deserve the best out of life, that universe will prove you right.
- Type up a list of about 6 positive affirmations and put them in places you can spot them in the morning. Make sure these are affirmations and are phrases that you can accept. You can tell if you accept them by the way they make you feel. Say these affirmations out loud and with strong conviction.
5) On Abundance
“Thought is the original source of all wealth, all success, all material gain, all great discoveries and inventions, and all achievement.” – Claude M.
- We live in a very abundant world.
- Focus on prosperity, and it becomes your reality.
- Your thoughts, words, and actions are seeds that will produce their own kind.
- Whatever you imagine in your mind can be created in the physical world.
- There is no shortage of anything, because the universe always regenerates itself.
- It looks like supplies are dwindling, don’t fret, more of the alternative will be produced.
- We are always provided for whether we realize it or not
- When fear and doubt creep in, you can actually hinder those blessings from materializing.
- Universe organizes itself according to our beliefs, so if we believe that there is not enough, there won’t be.
- If we believe we are provided for and there is plenty, there will be plenty.
- Abundance is all around you.
6) On How You Want Your Life to Be
- Write out a script about how you would like your life to be
- Now close your eyes and live the experience
- Make a vision board: Buy some poster paper, and cut and paste the people, objects and goals you desire most.
- Look at it every day, and FEEL as if you already have it!
- If you hold that vision and perform that every day, the universe seeks to match that creation.
- These are powerful tools in creating the life that you want; this is visualizing in its highest form.
7) The power of mind
- Your thoughts, words, and emotions are extremely powerful.
- When you have a group of people that thinks the same way, there will be manifestation on a LARGE scale, whether positive or negative.
- The Placebo Effect is a well known experiment, proving the power of the mind. Scientists
you train your mind to only expect positive situations, positive outcomes, and positive events.
8) On Changing Your Frequency/Mood
“The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human can alter his life by altering his attitude.”
- Our world consists of multiple frequencies of vibrations including your thoughts.
- “Like attracts Like”. So if you’re in a “feel GOOD” frequency, you will attract people, circumstances, and situations to match that “feel GOOD” frequency.
- Change to a good feeling frequency and watch how your world transforms into a big, positive melting pot.
9) On the View of Multiple Dimensions and Parallel Realities
“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”
- Everything you want is already in existence.
- Each parallel reality has a version of you in it doing what you can think of. There’s a version of you being a homeless person, there’s also a version of you being the wealthiest person in the city.
- Based on where your attention, belief and actions you take, there is no limit to who you can become.
- In a sense, you already have the things you desire, you simply aren’t experiencing it yet.
- If you focus on abundance and success, you will vibrate at the same frequency, thus propelling you move into that reality. This is simple physics.
10) On Meditation
“To understand the immeasurable, the mind must be extraordinarily quiet, still.” Meditation has many wonderful benefits, such as: calmness, relaxation, and emotional balance.
- When feeling stressed out, do a 15 second mediation. Instructions: breathe in through your nose for 5 seconds, hold your breath for 5 seconds, and then exhale through your nose for 5 seconds; all the while thinking to yourself, “All is well” over and over again.
- This simple mediation will bring you instant serenity and peace. When you feel overwhelmed, spend time in solitude and get back in “the flow”.
- Life is nothing but a mirror reflecting back to you of what you project first.
- If you’re hectic, your world will be hectic; if you’re harmonious, your world will be in harmony.
11) On Self-Affirmations
“The man who succeeds must always in mind or imagination live, move, think, and act as if he had gained that success, or he never will gain it.” – Prentice Mulford
- Affirmations are one of the most powerful tools you can have in your creative tool box. – Affirmations should always be done in the present tense.
“I am” or “I Have” are the most powerful statement you can use with your affirmations - These two words (I-Am) are the greatest creative force that will ever come out of your mouth: I-Am Happy, I-Am wonderful, I-Am Healthy, I-Am Wealthy, I-Am abundant, I-Am- Prosperous.
- When doing affirmations, make sure that you are putting feeling and emotion behind them. – Try it, you’ll feel a rush of energy afterward.
- Don’t be afraid to speak out loud to yourself. Self affirmations are a vital tool in creating your reality and the desires you want to experience.
- I-AM: These two words are so powerful that in ancient times, it was forbidden to use them and this was even punishable by death.
- These two words “I-AM” encompasses all of life and the universe combined.
- Whatever we put behind those two words is created in astounding time and accuracy.
- Monitor what you attach to these words. “I-am Broke”, “I-am sick” OR “I-am Healthy”,” I am prosperous”?
- Speak affirmations with conviction and authority!
- Say them until you actually start to believe them; that’s when the magic starts!
12) On Giving
“Love only grows by sharing. You can only have more for yourself by giving it away to others.”
- The act of giving is always the cornerstone for abundance.
- Most people believe when you give something away, you actually lose it; but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
- When you give, universe is pleased with that action and in return, you’re blessed with more.
- Giving is such a natural act that after you do it, you get a rush of endorphins and other good feeling natural chemicals that flood the body.
- If you give what you have, you will never go without.
- If you give, you have to receive.
- Share what you have
- When you horde what you have (in fear that there won’t be enough), that energy has a way of self-destructing and you eventually end up losing everything.
- Remember, you attract what you love, but you also attract what you fear.
- Fear not and give what you can… life will be good!
13) On Trusting the Process
- Trust that out of every situation, good will come.
- When you choose to believe that good will come out of every experience, you’ll soon discover that perceived obstacles are really blessings in disguise.
- Trust your feelings.
- If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t
- Universal intelligence is always communicating with you through your feelings.
- If you want to see if something is right or not, see how you feel about it.
- It’s as if your feelings go into the future and recognize if the situation is good or bad for you. Trust your gut.
13) On Challenging Times
- In times of great stress or adversity, it’s always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.
- Build tough skin, you’re built for this world.
- Just because you’re positive, doesn’t mean you won’t have challenging times.
- We need challenging times to build our character and further our spiritual growth.
- Don’t run from your trials but face them head on.
- There is a lesson and opportunity in challenging times, seize the moment!
14) On Guidance
“You need to trust, to surrender. To ask for guidance , go within for the answers. They’re within you, you have the answers. All you need do is ask” – Karen Hackel
- You are never alone. We all have angels or spirit guides that are always with us.
- They will help you if you ask them; it’s that simple.
- Your intuition is always talking and assisting us.
- If something happens you don’t particularly like or expect, bless it and expect a positive outcome.
- It has been said that each person has been given two or more personal angels or spirit guides. When you come to a fork in the road, seek assistance and they will be more than happy to assist you.
- Watch for clues: the next song you hear over the radio, the sign you read while you’re driving, or the conversation you overhear, God uses all these to assist you.
- Little voice inside you is the voice of God.
- If you are indecisive on which route to take, take a few minutes of quite meditation and let your angels guide you.
- Ask your angels for help and then trust your gut
- Walk in positive expectancy.
