Have you ever heard the quote, "there is no failure, only feedback?"
I can't remember exactly who said it but it's a great way to begin this article.
Let's talk failure...but only for a second.
One interesting piece of information that stuck with me after reading the book, "What to Say When You Talk to Yourself," was the idea that anytime you convince your subconscious that it has "failed," it will only do more of the same.
In other words, if you interpret any particular result as "failure," you are only telling your subconscious to "go out and create more of this please."
You see, the subconscious mind can't discern between right, wrong, good, or bad. In fact, we use our conscious minds to interpret what is right, wrong, good, or bad.
So...what's a person to do when something looks like a failure, a worry comes up, disappointment arises, or a concern surfaces into your mind?
Well...the best way I know of to shift your vibration and your subconscious mind to start working for you (instead of against you) is to show it gratitude.
In other words make peace with your ego and your subconscious. This is different than being grateful for the problem or the worry. Instead it's about acknowledging the "good" intentions your subconscious mind had when it tried to create a certain type of reality for you.
Let me give you an example of how this works. I've been using this alot in my own personal live so I have alot of experiences to draw off.
Let's say you're currently feeling worried about your present financial situation.
This is a common theme as there is alot of negative energy and stress surrounding money. I think everyone can agree that negativity and stress only causes more of the same but most people can't help it.
Here's what you can do in this situation...
Take a look at your financial situation and genuinely find something you can feel grateful for.
This may seem difficult at first but if you stick with it, I promise it'll pay off.
In my case, I may want more money or a new house. But, I can honestly look at how much money and the house I have and be very grateful.
In fact, I live like a king compared to people in third-world countries.
They would kill (literally) to have the salary I have and warmth and shelter over their heads. Not to mention the two wonderful cars we own, the food we get to eat (we eat steak once - sometimes twice a week).
This is something I can look at and reach deep down into my heart and feel gratitude for.
Wow.
How about that for a vibration shift.
All of a sudden, my worries seem silly, my mind is finding more things for me to feel grateful for and I'm feeling amazing.
The best part is you can use this on anything you want.
Even if you're feeling confused about how to do this right now? Why not start to feel grateful for all the concepts in your life you 'currently' understand extremely well? I mean, you had the intelligence to read this article - and read this far might I add.
Not everyone can do that. Not everyone has the intelligence and competence you have.
Pretty neat huh?
This is but one of the amazing insights I've had as I've embarked on my quest to better understand the law of attraction and move up through the phases of awakening.

Manifesting Abundance - The Secret of How to Take Action to Succeed With the Law of Attraction
There are so many misconceptions surrounding manifesting abundance with the Law of Attraction.
Some people think that manifesting abundance is some hard struggle, where you have to do all this work and toil to bring their desires into fruition.
Subsequently they do all this work in order to try to make things happen.
They have this mindset that EVERYTHING is up to them and they work hard to try to bring things into fruition.
Sooner or later, when they fail to bring their desires into fruition, they're left wondering what they did wrong.
Then there are others who think of the Law of Attraction as a "magic formula" where they just visualize what they desire and then sit around and do nothing, expecting their desires to fall through their living room ceiling.
They too are left wondering what went wrong when nothing comes into fruition for them.
Both parties have a misunderstanding of what type of action is required to be successful with the Law of Attraction.
In order to be successful with the Law of Attraction you have to take inspired action.
That's right, you do have to do something, but it's not something that you feel forced to do but rather something that you feel compelled or drawn to do.
Taking the right type of action involves using your intuition which gives you that "sense" or feeling of what to do at the right time.
Using your intuition involves letting go of your own will and also attachment to any outcome and allowing the Universe to manifest your desires through you according to its Infinite Wisdom.
When you're working hard trying to make things happen, you're depending on your own intellect and your own power and communicating that you don't have any faith in the Universe to bring you your desires.
When you're sitting around and not taking any action at all, you're not allowing the Universe to work together with you to bring your desires into fruition.
However, when you've let go of any attachment and are open to guidance from the Universe, you could one day be just doing your thing, carry out your normal daily activities and all of a sudden get the "urge" to take a certain type of action
This action winds up being prompted by your intuition and may be the action that actually brings your desire into fruition.
There are truly many things we don't know about the Law of Attraction that is keeping us from getting what we desire.
Some of these things aren't really anything truly complicated or profound, but rather are little bits of info that may be all of what we need to FINALLY start manifesting abundance in our lives.
Why not finally complete the WHOLE picture of your understanding of reality creation?

4 Steps to Achieve the Best Possible Quality of Life With the Law of Attraction
Have you heard about the law of attraction? It is a very popular concept which says that your thoughts and feelings can affect the outcome of your experiences and efforts. According to the law, we can attract whatever we want into our lives using positive thoughts. Although the law of attraction has been in circulation for ages, it recently became a cultural phenomenon when an author wrote a book about it entitled "The Secret."
Since the law of attraction can apply to anyone and is completely free for anyone's use, you can use it to transform your life and get everything you've always dreamed of. If you are dissatisfied with several aspects of your life, you can attract positive changes so you will be fully satisfied and content.
Here are the steps to attracting a better life for yourself.
1. List down all aspects of life that does not satisfy you. List down the aspects of your life that need improvement, whether it is your career, your love life, your family, your social circle, and so on. Identifying these problem areas will then lead to an identification of what solutions you can use to improve your life and thus, what you need to attract.
For example, if you don't have enough money, you can attract more profits and opportunities. If you don't have someone to love, you can attract romance. If you live a very stressful life, you can attract an abundant stress-free life.
2. Change your perspective. A lot of people settle in discontentment because they think that the negative aspects of their lives are beyond their control. And since this is so, they don't do anything to improve their situations. But according to the law of attraction, it is exactly thoughts like that, that you can't do anything to improve your own situation, that keeps you trapped in discontentment. On the other hand, positive thoughts can empower you to get yourself out of the runt and strive for better things in life.
So the first thing you have to do is to change your beliefs about why your life is in such a state.
3. Act. Now that you know what the problem is, instead of taking a forlorn, defeated, and hopeless stance, build a proactive attitude.
Instead of thinking that:
I have no control over my problems.
My life is a mess.
There's nothing I can do.
You should instead think this way:
I am in control of every aspect of my life.
I welcome only positive things into my life.
I am willing and open to change for the better.
I go for improvement.
These empowering, proactive thoughts will open up your mind to ways on how to transform your life to its best possible state.
4. Make good thoughts a habit. The road to applying the law of attraction in your life is not difficult, but it does require constant vigilance over your thoughts. You have to control your thoughts every minute of the day to make sure no negative thoughts creep in. Once you build the positive thoughts habit, the law of attraction will start working wonders in your life.

How The Law of Attraction Works For You
If you have come to this page and are reading this, I have to ask you a question - How well has the Law of Attraction been working for you? You must have already seen the movie "The Secret" before if you are interested in the Law of Attraction, and also came across all those really successful people who seem to get whatever they want really effortlessly. How do successful people around you seem to always stumble upon great opportunities after opportunities?
Deep down in your mind, you probably think: "There has to be something more to the Law of Attraction than just my thoughts!" or "I must be really missing something out of this whole puzzle to make this work!" And well of course, I guess you are right.
What I meant was, obviously you can't possibly just lie on your bed thinking and visualizing about what you want and then turning yourself into a human magnet and watching the things you want or desire come into your life just like magic. There got to be something more than just thinking!
The Link that Connects Thinking and The Law of Attraction
The reason why the Law of Attraction works so well for most people is because thoughts really do become things, but one has to understand that this does not necessarily equate to the thoughts of what you want will turn into the things that you want. Your thoughts will become part of your belief system, and these beliefs become convictions that will slowly influence your actions and these actions will then bring about the results - getting the things that you want.
In other words, the thoughts that you generate at first are the "seeds" that you plant. Over time, these seeds are nurtured over a period of time, growing until they eventually manifest themselves into actions. And I am sure you definitely know that a seed cannot possibly produce things that are inconsistent with its design, for instance you can't possibly expect grapes or oranges to grow out of an apple seed!
Therefore, if your thoughts are consistent enough, they will definitely manifest themselves in the results of your life eventually. The main reason why most people say it does not work this way is because they forget about the most important thing - time! And that is the main key towards making the Law of Attraction working for you.

Synchronicity, A Loving Part of Your Internal Guidance System
Have you ever wondered why sometimes things happen that are out of the blue and very important to you? Like when you remember an old friend who you haven't thought of in over a year and then that friend contacts you for no apparent reason? Or when you wake up and look at the clock at 3:33 a.m. for several nights? Or when you just know the outcome of a game and you are correct?
These unusual happenings are called synchronicities. They are an important aspect of our lives and once learned about and noticed, they can happen frequently as they gently guide us along our Divine Paths. When appreciated, these events multiply and make life so much fun.
In his book, The Divine Matrix, Gregg Braden writes, "The Divine Matrix is the web that makes the fabric of the universe. Of the many ways we could define the Divine Matrix, perhaps the simplest is to think of it as being three basic things: (1) the container for the universe to exist within; (2) the bridge between our inner and outer worlds; and (3) the mirror that reflects our everyday thoughts, feelings, emotions and beliefs."
This matrix that connects all things is important to grasp for understanding the principle of synchronicity. It is as a result of our interconnectedness with each other and the Universe that synchronistic events can occur.
In Frank Joseph's book, Synchronicity & You, he provides a description of different types of meaningful coincidences. His book discusses the incidence of synchronicity with the following:
1. INANIMATE OBJECTS
2. NUMBERS
3. ENVIRONMENTAL AND ANIMAL OSTENTA [Signs]
4. PREMONITION
5. DREAMS (PRECOGNITIVE AND SHARED)
6. TELEPATHY
7. ENIGMAS
8. ORIGINS
9. PARALLEL LIVES
10. LIFE IMITATES ART
11. WARNINGS
12. DEATH
13. RESCUE
14. REINCARNATION
15. GUIDANCE
16. MOIRA [Higher Calling]
17. TRANSFORMATIONAL EXPERIENCES
I look at synchronicity as a pat on the back from the Universe, as an atta-boy or good-job from my angels and spirit guides. It keeps me in tune with my Inner Being and reflects my daily intentions of joy and peace. When I am feeling low in energy and a synchronicity comes my way I feel loving support and my energy is bolstered immediately.
This comes from having a generally positive outlook on life. I am aware of the Universal Law of Attraction which states that like attracts like so when I am feeling disharmonious I know to ask for help from my guides to shift my energy so that I do not attract what I do not want. It has taken many years to undo the false belief system I inherited as a small child, and now I feel truly blessed and happy each day. If you desire to improve your life and live synchronistically then read on. The door is open to you and everyone.
If you want to change your life, to improve it, to feel happier and healthier every day, then the first step is to recognize that you are seeking something greater in your life. The second step is to make a commitment to follow through on doing something about it. This is your life and also your choice, nobody else can make your life different, only you can. Change in your life will begin with change from within.
How do you increase synchronicity in your life? Here are a few ideas to get you started. Also, remember that each person's path is unique so do not compare yourself to anyone else. Rather, listen to your inner voice to guide you on your life path.
1. Begin seeking spiritual instruction. It is not important if it is through a video, book, workshop, etc. What is important is that you make the decision to begin and you take action. The more you learn the more you will feel your connection to the Divine.
2. Meditate daily. This will quiet your mind and open the space for synchronicity in your life.
3. Treat yourself with loving kindness and listening to your body. Pamper yourself by taking a long bath and add cleansing mineral salts to reduce body tension. Look in the mirror and say, "I love you" to yourself several times a day or more if it feels difficult. Also, when you need to rest then take a break from your routine. Even 5 minutes spent lying down can be helpful.
4. Set a loving intention in the morning when you wake up. Tell yourself something extremely positive, something that makes you feel warm and giggly inside. You might start with saying, "I intend to be loving to myself and others today." Or you might have a specific goal to address, like, "I intend to be confident and smart on my interview."
5. Pray before you to go sleep at night. Include at least one thing that you are thankful for.
6. Eat healthy foods and drink lots of water. This will help to heal your body and bring it into alignment with your spiritual intentions.
7. Exercise regularly. This will also help your body to sustain the higher frequency you intend to become.
8. Laugh, sing, play and dance every day. This not only releases feel-good hormones in your body, it also brings you closer to the Divine Source Energy that you wish to attract more of in your life.
9. Free yourself from addictions in any form. The ego part of your mind distracts you with addictions and your focus and ability to draw synchronicity will multiply once you release them.
10. Ask for help. If you want to make changes and you feel that you are unable then you can consider seeing a therapist who will help you to transform.
If you are still a little confused about what exactly is synchronicity then here is an example:
Two months ago I was watching my son in his taekwondo class when I got an e-mail from my cousin in Florida. He said that he was at the Lexus dealership in Palm Beach, FL and noticed that they had a display case for selling jewelry. He suggested that I look into selling Ishvara Jewelry at my local Lexus dealership. I thought it was a good idea and left it at that.
Then I was driving down a 45 mph road at dusk when I noticed up ahead that there were dark shapes in the middle of the road and cars were stopped with their hazard lights on. I slowed down and saw a man picking up a large, long-haired black dog who was hit by a car and obviously injured very badly. I intuitively felt that the dog had already passed to the light and felt sadness because it brought back a childhood memory of when my sweet dog, Ruffy, was hit by a car in front of our home and died on the way to the emergency vet. As tears rolled down my cheeks I turned on the radio for a distraction. When I listened to the lyrics of the song that was playing I realized that it was referring to the old south spiritual song that I'm sure most people have heard, Amazing Grace. In an instant my tears turned to joy as I recognized the synchronicity of the song and it's relevance in my life.
I felt as if I were on cloud 9 when I got home and started cooking dinner. Then I was mega-shocked when the phone rang and it was the local Lexus dealership calling about a promotion! I felt so grateful for the synchronicity and thanked my spirit guides immensely.
