Inspirational Quotes, books & articles to empower you

In Rhonda Byrne's book, The Secret, Jack Canfield describes how when struggling to earn $8,000 per year, he decided to set the goal of earning $100,000. At the time, this goal seemed like a pipedream. Yet, Jack chose to humour himself and focus on making it happen. He wasn't sure how. Instinctively, he wrote himself a check for $100,000 and stuck it on his bedroom ceiling. This became the first thing he would see when he awoke and the last thing he would see when he went to sleep at night.

Every day, he thought about realizing his dream. He was initially unaware of real reasons behind it. He went about the life as before. Then, one morning, while in the shower, he recalled he had written a book nad put it away. He thought if he sold 400,000 copies, he would realize his goal of $100,000. Suddenly, renewed faith in his book made perfect sense. He desired to publish the book to improve lives of others perhaps more than his original goal of earning money. Both results were still desirable. Why hadn't he acknowledged the dream before? Timing wasn't right.

Not long after that revelation, he was in the grocery store and noticed The Enquirer. It had always been in the check-out rack, but he hadn't really been aware. Not long after that, after one of his public lectures, he was approached by a woman to be interviewed for a magazine article. Turned out, the woman sold most of her writing to The Enquirer. Jack wondered if that encounter and what ensued, wasn't directly out of The Twilight Zone. The Universe was intervening in its own particular way.

Now, Jack didn't earn $100,000 that year as a writer. He earned just over $92,000. Jack realized that nurturing a dream, and thinking about it regularly is how you can work with the Universe to make it happen. You learn to align your energy. Te Universe will send you the right people and circumstances to make things happen. Jack and his wife thought that if positive thinking and discerning the power of energy alignment with the Universe worked to make $100,000, it should work for a million. They learned that it did and never looked back.

So, if you have ideas for a book, or have complete manuscripts in the wings, just waiting for the right publisher, the right editor or the appropriate launching platform to get it into the wider market, then you would benefit from applying concepts in The Secret. You probably already have these ideas in your soul. Yet, you might just get wrapped up with the "what if it doesn't work?" syndrome. Or assume that you have to figure out all the details. Rest assured, the Universe will help. Your job is to believe in your writing abilities and have faith that your actions will lead to great things. Recognize your problems have been solved.
