Secret

  We came home from Canada and found our pool broken, dry, and beyond repair.

If you came home and saw that, what would you think?

How would you explain how you attracted it?

This is a beautiful exercise in how to uncover your beliefs.

What you decide an event means is the belief that attracted the event.

Let me explain:

From a pure life standpoint, events are simply events. They have no meaning. It just “is”.

From a personal involvement with life standpoint, the meaning you give an event is very relevant.

When I looked at my pool and saw the damage, here are a few thoughts that I remember thinking:

1. This would be a great place for a car port.

2. This is a great opportunity to build a bigger and better pool.

I didn’t fall into a victim mentality.

I didn’t see the event as negative.

I didn’t regard the destruction as a reflection of my self-worth.

I did wonder how it happened. (A hair line crack in the side of the pool finally gave way under the weight of the water and split open.)

But wondering about the why is how we humans learn new ways to prevent something undesireable from happening again.

The lesson here is about how the meaning you give an event reflects the underlying beliefs that attracted it.

This is a new concept for many, so just sit with it.

PS – The meaning you give this blog post reflects your beliefs, too. 🙂

 Three hours in a stretch limo with Secret co-stars Lisa Nichols and John Assaraf can be enlightening and exhilarating.

Lisa spent time on the phone with her editor, working on her first book. She’s on a mission to help teenagers survive. I was so impressed I told her I would pay to bring her to Austin to do her special workshop for local kids. 

John and I talked about life, marketing, speaking, consulting, and more. He used the phrase “predictable transformation” to describe how his coaching program works: it’s designed to get results.  

I told him about my Miracles Coaching and Executive Mentoring programs. The same philosophy is behind both: do what is asked of you and you’ll get predictable results.

What I loved most about being in the limo with these two wonderful people is their energy. They aren’t caught up in the world of external reality. Instead, they are creating their external reality by what they are doing inside and outside themselves.

I also noticed that when I hang around upbeat people like them, my own energy and thoughts go up. I want to do even bigger and bolder things in my life.

There’s a lesson here for you, too. Choose your coaches and support team well and shoot for the moon in your goals.

PS — The November issue of News You Can Use is now online at www.mrfire.com/nycu-archives/nycu-2007/november.html 

The following are photographic clues as to my whereabouts. I’ve mentioned several times that I am on a speaking tour. Right now I’m parked in one location. The first person to leave a comment accurately guessing where I am wins a signed copy of my recent bestseller, The Key. www.unlock-the-secret.com Good luck.

Psychologists sometimes use the controversial Rorschach ink blot test to see what is inside a person’s unconscious mind. You look at an odd blot of ink and quickly announce what you think you see. It can be surprising and revealing.

Yesterdays’s blog post seems to be a type of ink blot test: people responded to things that weren’t even there. A few people even got angry, which I find surprising and revealing.

For example, I made no direct comments about my fellow Secret co-stars and why they escaped the San Diego fires; I also made no direct comments about those who were harmed by the fires.

What I did say was I found it “interesting” and I invited readers to consider asking a different question about the experience.

From there, the blog post was interpreted depending on the readers’s mindset.

Considering the few people who seemed upset, it seems under their feeling is the idea that victims and victimhood are real; there is such a thing as powerlessness and bad luck; no amount of healing or cleaning or clearing can help.

I find that mentality to be the real problem.

Too often people say “luck” — whether good or bad — is the trump card in life.

Yet I tend to view luck as a scapegoat. We seem to use it when we don’t understand why something happened. We chalk up an event “to luck.”

But I’m suggesting you are more directly responsible for your life then you ever before imagined. You’re simply calling your unconscious involvement in life “luck.”

This is where we need to awaken.

It’s not awakening to more blame, more criticism, more powerlessness.

It’s awakening to your responsibility for all that occurs in your life.

All of it.

“If it’s never our fault, we can’t take responsibility for it. If we can’t take responsibility for it, we’ll always be its victim.”
– Richard Bach

PS — But maybe all of the above is wrong and I’m just a victim, too. I wonder which thought is more powerful, feels better, and will lead to more positive, concrete, life-enhancing results?

“Come on! Does the Law of Attraction work or not?”

“Why does it seem to work some times but not *all* the time?”

“Why is there at least one stubborn problem in my life that just won’t go away, even when I throw all the self-help methods at it?”

“Is The Secret hope or hype?”

I keep hearing those questions.

Maybe you are asking them.

I’ve addressed all of them in my latest book, “The Key: The Missing Secret for Attracting Anything You Want.”

Promotions for it begin this week.

But before you rush out to get the book today from www.unlock-the-secret.com/ or from www.amazon.com or www.bn.com/TheKey or from your local book store, let’s look at why “The Key” is important to you.

Truth is, “The Key” explains what I regard as the fundamental error in virtually all self-help programs.

In short —

*Anything* will work when you are in alignment with your goals.

*Nothing* will work until you get in alignment with your goals.

“Alignment” means your conscious and un-conscious mind want the same thing.

Most people are not in alignment with what they say they want, so they end up blaming their lack of results on everything from the movie they watched, the book they read, the therapist they saw, the self-help program they tried, and so on.

But the real problem isn’t out there.

The real problem requires inner “clearing” work.

How do you get in alignment so you can have, do, or be virtually anything?

How do you get your conscious intent and your un-conscious counter-intent to agree?

How do you “get clear” once and for all?

With “The Key.”

“The Key” is the missing secret to knowing how to consciously co-create circumstances.

It’s the final piece to the puzzle.

If you know you can achieve more but can’t seem to make it happen, “The Key” reveals the psychological and unconscious limitations that are holding you back.

Inside every person — yes, even you — are subconscious “counter-intentions” that can sabotage you and prevent you from getting what you truly want.

Why else would you declare on New Years Day your intention to go to the gym more often but by the third day of the new year you can’t recall where the gym is located?

Your un-conscious counter-intention was stronger than your conscious intention.

“The Key” reveals ten proven ways to remedy this situation, aligning your conscious and subconscious beliefs once and for all.

Actress Jessica Biel (pictured) said, “For those of us who loved The Attractor Factor and The Secret, Joe has done it again. The Key is the how-to book that makes the ‘law of attraction’ come alive!”

Actress Cathy Lee Crosby said, “Joe Vitale’s energy and enthusiasm for life jumps off every page of his new book, The Key. He leaves no stone unturned in explaining exactly how to attract everything you want in your life. The words ‘I love you’ have taken on a whole new meaning. Bravo!”

Still not sure if you should go get the book right now?

Then let me be a little more in your face about this, so you truly get how important this book is to you.

As you may know, I’m in the movie “The Secret” as well as “The Opus” and “Try It On Everything.”

I’ve been on Larry King’s television show twice.

I’ve been in The New York Times and Newsweek.

I’ve stood my ground and declared that the Law of Attraction is a law, and that everything you are getting is coming to you because of what *you* are doing inside yourself.

You may be doing it un-consciously, but you’re doing it.

Many people don’t like to hear this, because it means you are 100% responsible for your life.

But if you want to change, if you want to attract more of what you prefer, then it’s time to wake up.

My mission is to awaken the world with the message that there is a missing secret to success.

It’s “The Key.”

“The Key” is for YOU.

Please get it, read it, and use it.

Use it to help yourself…use it to help your family and friends…use it to help the planet.

Or —

Or don’t get it and don’t use it and keep wondering why some people are reporting miracles using the Law of Attraction and others think it’s all nonsense.

Who is right?

Find out for yourself.
