HOW TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS EFFORTLESSLY, GUARANTEED!
Can you really achieve your money, health, relationship andother goals effortlessly or do you have to struggle? Canmove in a way that guarantees that your goals are achieved,or are you at the mercy of luck?Yes, you can achieve your goals effortlessly. As much asyour logical mind may tell you that effortless goalachievement is impossible, that is still a conditionedbelief. For evidence, look to nature.How do you suppose a tiny seed grows into a giant tree withno construction workers supervising the 'building' of thattree? How do you suppose you grew without any effort onyour part from a tiny egg and sperm into a full grownbeing? Yes, you ate, but you didn't have to do anything togrow. How do you suppose this entire planet has sustaineditself for millions and millions of years without anytrucks coming in from outer space with food and materialdeliveries? Nature, by nature, moves forward effortlessly.And that brings us to the part about the guarantee. Yes,your goals can be achieved in a guaranteed way. The amazingthing about the universe is that it is an organized place.The whole of it is one big miracle! And what keeps it goingis what you may call laws of the universe. Now, these lawsnever err even once (you can imagine what a disaster thatwould be if they did).So here is how your guarantee comes in: If you flow againstthese laws, then you have to struggle to achieve anything.If you flow with the laws, then, by nature, you entereffortlessness.Now we shall look at the one law that we need to know aboutfor effortless achievement of your goals.This is the Law of Attraction. Scientifically, you maythink of it as harmony, like in music. Sounds that are of amatching frequency and wavelength will resonate and createharmony. They build upon each other. In fact, they activateeach other. When you strike a pitching fork when in asilent room, any object that would resonate with the soundcoming from that tuning fork will begin to vibrate and humin resonance! Do you see the science behind that? Likeenergy attracts and builds, unlike energy repels anddestroys.Ok, now let us look at something else. In the aboveexample, it must have occurred to you that it is thevibration from the tuning fork that activated other objectsin the room to vibrate as well. Vibration. That is the key.Everything in this universe is made of energy. In fact, itis not made of energy, it is energy. It is only your fivesenses that trick you into seeing forms. Forms are simplythe brain's interpretation of various energy activities.Now, all energy vibrates. You vibrate. In fact, you arelike a giant transmitter and receiver, always sending outand receiving frequencies. That is why you hear a cheapradio crackle with interference when you walk near theantennae. So let us get that settled. You vibrate, and thatvibration rate changes. For example, when you are happy,you vibrate faster and you feel lighter. And vice versa. Infact, everything becomes lighter as it increases itsvibration (think of ice becoming water and then steamthrough the action of heating and thus raising vibration).So you vibrate and so does everything else.So what? Simple. Let us quickly review.1. Vibration is in everything, including you and the thingsyou desire in your goals.2. Like vibration matches, attracts, and builds. Unlikevibration repels and destroys.3. This is a Universal Law that never once decides to actotherwise. You can call it the Law of Attraction. It isbased on the scientific working of energy, the stuff we andeverything else is.Therefore, to get or achieve something, match yourself withits vibration. How do you know what your vibration is? Youknow by what you feel. Your feelings are your indicator ofyour vibration. And your imagination, your thoughts,activates your feelings.To get or achieve something, match yourself with itsvibration. And your imagination, your thoughts, activatesyour feelings.Let us see exactly how that is done. These steps can beexpanded for more accuracy, but the following quick summarywill get you started very well.1. First, decide what your goal is. For this example, letus assume that your goal is to have a new car. Write thatdown. It is very important that you write it down, as thatcrystallizes your thoughts and gives a boost to themanifestation process.2. Next, get some pictures that are similar to the endresult of your goals. You will use these to help youimagine, visualize, and therefore match your vibration toyour achieved goal and therefore make it happen. Forexample, if you wish to have a new car, get some picturesof the type of car you would like. You can get those freeoff the internet. If you know exactly which model of a caryou would like, get pictures of that model.3. Now it is time to program your conscious andsubconscious mind, and your emotions, so that they allmatch your goal. In our new car example, take some quiettime to familiarize yourself with how it would feel like toactually have this new car. First of all, clearly writedown the features you would like in this new car. We shallcall this the form. Now, even more importantly, write downthe feelings you expect to get from this new car. Includefeelings, sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and touch. Alsowrite down the benefits you expect to get from this car,and the reasons why you desire this new car. We shall callthis the essence.4. In your mind, combine the form and the essence, and thepictures you collected. The idea is to familiarize yourconscious and unconscious mind, and your emotions, with thetotal feelings of having achieved your goal already. Closeyour eyes and just imagine yourself at the point just afteryou achieve your goal. Run that movie in your mind's eye,including all aspects of form and essence. Do this 10, 20or even 100 times, as many as you feel is necessary untilit feels natural to you. It should feel like the nextnatural step is for it to actually happen. Once you capturethe totality of that feeling, you have got yourself amatching vibration to your goal.5. Next, clear yourself of any vibrations that contradictyour goal. You cannot achieve a goal if you vibrate againstit. For example, a contrary vibration is disbelief or afeeling that you are not worthy or capable of achievingsuch a goal.6. Once you have your matching vibration and haveeliminated contradicting vibrations, you are done. Wheneveryou think of your goal, bring up the total feeling.Whenever a contrary feeling comes up, gently let it go(don't engage it) and bring up the matching feeling.7. Detach yourself from two things: time and form. Theuniverse delivers by essence primarily. The feeling you putout, the essence, is what will come back. In other words,the solution that will be brought to you will bring you theessence you held when you were visualizing your goal.Sometimes that form may be the exact one you had in mind,sometimes it will be different. Just know two things; theuniverse always delivers, but in its infinite intelligenceit delivers in the form most suitable to the essence itreceived. What does this mean to you? Well, for one, don'tinsist that your new car will come through any particularsequence of steps, or from your income and savings, or froma particular shop, and so on. Don't insist on theparticular car (form). Don't insist on the timing. You donot know what the most efficient delivery is. Your view isdefinitely more limited than that of the universe. Anyinsisting will only mess with the vibration (you will feeldisappointed because you will have judged yourself so basedon your insisting). Let go. Detach yourself from form andtime. For certain, a form that accurately matches theessence you put out will be delivered to you. That isguaranteed. Let go, detach, as if it didn't matter. Let goof that feeling of neediness.8. Act when called upon. As you go about your life, certainthings and people will come your way. This is the universeorchestrating a synchronicity of events that will lead toyour goal being achieved. Stay present and alert. Whenthese come, act upon them. Remember always to be detached.Act purely for the sake of acting, not insisting on aparticular outcome. You will find yourself miraculouslyhaving achieved your goal, out of the blue, step by step,in a most amazing way that you could not possibly haveplanned for!It is very true that you can have anything if you believeit. But remember, if you are having trouble finding yourfaith, simply look instead at the system, and you will seethat faith is not even necessary, once you know that thesystem has been created by the Creator to work perfectlyall the time, regardless. What you put in is what you getout. Your job, then, is simply not to think againstyourself, and as long as you don't think against yourself,all your desires will naturally manifest. I wish you thehighest possible achievements.Article written by David Cameron, CEO ImagesOfOne.com.
