You are about to partake on a journey that could profoundly change your life. In this book, I will offer you a no-nonsense, practical way to create anything you desire.

Everything you are about to learn is based on proven psychological and spiritual principles for success.

Do these techniques and principles really work? I respect your intelligence more than just to tell you that they work, and then expect you to believe me. The only proof that these techniques and principles work is the results you will experience if you use them . I can tell you about them, but nothing will be as convincing as using them and seeing your own results.

We have all purchased self-help books, audio programs and taken seminars that were supposed to improve our performance and change our lives. After completing them, we were highly motivated and even made temporary changes, only to find that within a few days or a few weeks we were right back to where we were before!

Why? Because they did not show us how to make permanent and lasting changes. The solutions are often like putting frosting on a burnt cake. No matter how good the frosting looks, we have to deal with whats underneath the frosting. The frosting is positive thinking, and the cake is our unworkable beliefs that keep us from producing positive results.

This book is about producing positive results. Its about taking our ideas and dreams and turning them into reality. If you are looking for an inspirational book with light doses of positive thinking, laced with colorful case histories that take up valuable time and space, this is not the book for you.

However, if you are looking for a no-nonsense methodology that goes beyond positive thinking then this book will be of great value to you.

You have in your hands a proven formula for success that will enable you to go beyond positive thinking to produce the results you desire. It will require a commitment on your part, but, in the end, it will be worth every minute you invest in this study!

I feel privileged to have the opportunity to share this information with you. Now, if you are ready, lets get started on our journey.

Positive ThinkingNegative ThinkingReality Based Thinking

T he starting point of making permanent and lasting change begins with understanding the difference between positive thinking, negative thinking and reality based thinking.

Positive thinking and negative thinking are based on our personal mind. Reality based thinking is based on the natural laws of the universe. These laws are unchangeable, impartial and impersonal. They are not influenced by our personal circumstances, our age, our race, our religion, our nationality, our sexual preferences, or our gender. They work for everybody, everywhere, every time.

Our understanding or misunderstanding of how these laws work determines how they affect our lives. When we understand them, and cooperate with them, our life can become magnificent. When we misunderstand them, or are ignorant of them, we will suffer.

One of the fundamental laws of the universe is the law of Cause and Effect. Cause and Effect simply means that the effect or result of any action must be equal to the cause. The cause is always an idea or belief. Another way of describing the Law of Cause and Effect is the example of sowing and reaping, or action and reaction. Or, put in simple terms: my beliefs create my results.

The law of Cause and Effect is impersonal, just like sunshine. If you are standing in the sun, you receive the warmth and healing benefits of the suns rays. If you are standing in the shade, it seems like the sun isnt shining on you, but who moved you into the shade? Who moved you into the darkness? The truth is that we live in darkness because of our ignorance.

It is important to understand that the law of Cause and Effect is impersonal. This is why we see so many people who are basically good have so many problems and disasters in their lives. Somewhere in their life that person has either misused or has a misunderstanding of the law. It doesnt mean that he or she is a bad person. It doesnt mean that he or she isnt a loving person. It means that through ignorance that person is suffering the consequences of their misunderstanding. This can be applied to any natural law. For instance, aerodynamics or gravity will not kill you, but a misunderstanding of its function will, even if you are a kind, loving, positive person.

Your life is like a river. The river keeps on flowing. Some people go down to the river and cry. Some people go down to the river and are happy, but the river just keeps flowing. We can use it and enjoy it, or we can jump in and drown. The river just keeps flowing because it is impersonal. We live in an impersonal universe that can support us or destroy us. Its our interpretation, perception, and understanding of how it works that determine our effects or results.

We can only receive from the river of life what our mind is capable of accepting. We can go to the river of life with a teaspoon, and someone else may go with a cup. Someone else may go with a bucket, and yet another person may go with a barrel, but the abundance of the river is always there and waiting. Our consciousness, our ideas, our frame of reference, and our belief system determines whether we go to the river of life with a teaspoon, a cup, a bucket, or a barrel.

If we are impoverished in our thinking and have gone to the river of life with only a teaspoon, we may curse the little we have in our teaspoon. We may curse others who have more than we do, but rememberwhatever we curse will curse us. The river is there, and its overflowing with abundance. We can come to the river of life with a teaspoon, a bucket, or a barrel anytime we want to. What we take from the river of life is up to us. The only limitation is in our thinking. The truth is we can have anything we desire if we give up the belief that we cant have it. Its as simple as that.
