The Law of AssociationIt seems like the whole world have watched "The Secret". If you have not seen it yet, you must get it. Click here to get it. The big Secret according to the movie is "the law of attraction". This is very true and I have seen the difference it made to my own life. You are what you think. If you think about poverty or your lack of money all the time, that is exactly what you will get. If you think about how unhappy you are at work, that is exactly what you will get. I learned myself a new trick. Each time when I catch myself thinking about something negative, then I short circuit that negative thought with a positive thought. I immediately think of something nice, anything, a waterfall, a trip on a yacht, etc. Have you ever realized how you can ponder on a negative thought once you think about something negative. Somebody can say something negative to you and you can spend days thinking about it. By thinking about something nice you would be amazed to see how quickly you change your thought pattern. There is however one thing The Secret have not touched in the movie. You can think the most positive thought you can think of, but an equally important factor is "The Law of Association". You will become like the people you spend the most of your time with. If you would like to achieve success look for somebody who is already successful in your field and spend some time with those people. Attend social functions or presentations where like minded people are present. If you are involved in network marketing it is a good idea to always attend the presentations, even if you do not take guests to the presentation. That way you will meet with like minded successful people. If
you cannot find such a mentor you can listen to motivational CDs
by successful people like Randy gage, John Maxwell, Zig Ziglar and
more. Or you can read the South African magazine called "Passive
Incomes". This magazine writes about various business ideas
that can generate you a passive income and they also publish interviews
with people who already achieved success. Coming back to "the law of attraction", during your daily routine you must look at what you program your mind with. What you program your mind with is in the end what will dominate your life. Have you ever gave the South African newspapers a thought? What do you see in the newspapers? Murder, Rape, Theft, Corruption. How many good news do you see in your daily newspaper? Do you realize what you program your mind with? What about the TV, the news is also about murder, rape and corruption. It always amazes me to see how people, young and old, can watch a movie. Sit in their lounge and see how the one kills another. And they do not think strange of it, it is like part of life. Next time you watch a movie like that, or let your children watch it, think what you program your mind with! If you want to be successful you must be careful who and what you believe. In particular I think about the Sunday Newspapers and in my opinion even more specific the Rapport. Always keep in mind that the newspapers have to sell their newspapers to make money. Unfortunately sensation is the single big seller of newspapers. Why do you think don't they publish newspapers filled with good news? Because bad news, murder, rape and corruption create more sensation than good news. In South Africa the quality and trustworthiness of newspapers is very low due to the so called "freedom of speech" Our newspapers believe that "freedom of speech" give them the licence to publish any facts, whether it is true or not. A story always has two sides. The worst thing you can do is to believe the South African media. Before you believe anything they write, first call the company involved and find out the true facts.
