The viewer is lovingly handed a formula for success as it were. Not only success in the corporate world, but success in all endeavours ranging from relationships to politics. It really all begins with the mind. If an individual can conquer their mind, they will find true happiness. Internal dialogue, one’s self-image, and their feeling of self-worth are areas that need to be explored since they play a huge role in one’s allowing or resisting of their goals. The Art of Allowing that Esther and Jerry Hicks allude to in their monumental book Ask and It Is Given revolves around the theme of trusting yourself and in a higher power to deliver. Your level of trust determines your allowing just like your level of distrust reflects your resistance. It goes without saying that there is a correlation between your sense of allowing and the speed with which your goals materialize.

“The Secret” and a voluminous number of Self-Help books all dictate that the most critical aspect of making one’s dreams come true is a positive outlook on life. One’s mindset, attitude, and faith are what make the difference and tip the balance in your favor. At first glance, changing one’s ways from negative to positive seems like a daunting task, but with practice it becomes second nature. Paying attention to one’s thoughts is where to begin. As one becomes more adept at noticing which thoughts make them feel good and which thoughts make them feel bad, they will consciously choose ones that lift them up. As this exercise is done repeatedly, one begins to notice the changes taking place in their immediate environment by virtue of their new thought pattern.

The best way to embark on this life-long journey is to approach it with a happy-go-lucky attitude. The ideal mindset would be a combination of detachment and faith at the same time. In other words, stay focused on your goal but maintain a happy attitude while the universe adjusts to fulfil your demands. This is exactly how much power you possess. God has endowed every one of its creations with an innate sense of intelligence, also known as consciousness, where it knows how to best manage its existence. That is precisely how plants grow and tilt in the direction of the sun, why a caterpillar morphs into a beautiful butterfly and why you possess the ability to turn your dreams and fantasies into reality.
