Small, Selfish Things or, Gandhi asks?
Sometimes folks wonder why the focus of people who read my books or watch the movie The Secret is on things like attracting a new car or feeling happier. Some regard those as “small, selfish things.”
Truth is, so many people are unhappy, unhealthy, and just plain broke that using the Law of Attraction to get a car, or a house, or a job, or happiness, is simply the most noble thing they can do at this time. It’s also exactly what they should do.
It’s not selfish; it’s actually a step toward self-actualization.
I also know that at a certain point you set your sights higher. After you’ve manifested a car or two, or more money, or a better relationship, you start expanding your desires. There are already numerous people in the world doing just that: using the Law of Attraction to cure cancer, AIDS, poverty, and more.
Oprah is a good example. She openly admits to using The Secret and is doing historic work in third world countries.
Larry King is another, with his cardiac foundation.
George Foreman is still another, with his youth centers.
Many of the teachers in The Secret have huge causes, too.
Jack Canfield wants to transform politics.
Lisa Nichols is going to Africa to help people there.
I’m working on erasing homelessness and poverty, both of which I’ve experienced.
I’m also helping people (with the help of Scott York) build their business as well as their body with www.yourbusinessbody.com
Then there are the people you’ve never heard of, who are using the Law of Attraction to make a huge difference, such as the woman I wrote about a few weeks ago, who is raising money to help women with cancer get beauty treatments so they feel better about themselves.
And there’s the female comedian who is raising audiotaped greetings and applause for troops overseas so they feel loved.
The list goes on.
Since the cultural mindset with the bigger problems is one of victim, those issues may not be healed overnight. But rest assured, there are wonderful people working on those problems, and using ideas in The Secret and The Attractor Factor to get the job done.
But here’s what’s more important:
Instead of wondering what everyone else is doing, ask what you are doing.
How are you helping the world?
What causes are you creating or supporting?
How are you contributing to the betterment of the planet?
As Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
Are you?

Here’s a recent interview with me:
George Foreman's Secret
He hadn’t yet. He then pointed at my fist and said, “That’s the real secret, right there.”
At the Airport
I'm sitting in the Phoenix airport waiting for my flight home. The place is packed to the nth degree. Where are all these people going?
Moments ago a fellow spotted me and came to say hi. He's been on my email list for years. I met him, his wife, their son, and their dog.
The other night I met George Forman. The line to meet him was far longer than the one to meet me. I was in his line too. I'll tell you what he and I talked about on another post.
My talk yesterday went well. I was stunned that most of the audience had not heard of the movie The Secret. Talk about proof that you must keep marketing and never stop. Even after two Oprah shows and three Larry King shows, a large even gigantic part of the world still doesn't know what the fuss is all about.
You must keep marketing.
While it's flattering that someone recognized me here at the airport, by far most of the people here never heard of me.
Just now my celebrity spotting friend came back and asked to have a picture with me. He runs www.pettech.net.
We all must keep marketing.

First Class Abundance
About ten years ago Bob Procter told me if you aren’t flying First Class, you’re still in poverty consciousness.
It took almost all of those ten years for me to agree with him. I resisted paying the extra money, thinking I should use it for something else.
Well, that’s scarcity thinking. There’s enough money for First Class and everything else IF your mindset is one of abundance.
Today I’m there. Today I only fly First Class.
Thank you, Bob Procter. I should have listened to you long ago.
