How to Work with the Law of Attraction to Find a Job- Regardless of any Condition - By Dorcas Wood

Getting a job in this economy is as simple as following the steps to completing any task.

Regardless of the reason you are seeking work, rest-assured that obtaining a job, fast, is simple to achieve regardless of ANY condition-including economic. These steps are tried and true for I used them to become gainfully employed by working with the Law of Attraction. You would be surprised to find out that obtaining a job doesn’t have anything to do with your resume, experience or field but everything to do with your ability to believe in yourself. The greater your ability to see yourself employed, secure and full of joy the quicker your inner image will frame your world and its reality. I recommend you print out two copies of this article. Keep one beside your bed and the other travels with you, in your purse or wallet. Read the article in the morning, then at lunch and again at bedtime. Then get ready to see good things happen!

Manage Your Thoughts & Emotions
Make a decision to focus ALL of your thought and emotional energy on ALREADY being employed NOT finding a job. Do NOT focus on anything negative or contrary to what you want. This is very important. The faster you convince your subconscious mind that you are already employed, the faster the Universe will move everything and everyone to accommodate your request. So how do you do this? Feel good! Feel good as you see yourself getting up for work everyday and are convinced you are employed. Picture yourself receiving a handsome weekly paycheck. See yourself paying your bills on time and looking forward to your payday. Feel the feelings of job security and job satisfaction as you picture yourself busily going about your day productively completing tasks. Get excited! You have a job! Did you hear what I said?! You have a job! Feel it in every fiber of your being and your emotions will follow and soon manifest it.

Manage Your Mouth
Resist the urge to verbalize worry about where your next dollar is coming from but instead be thankful! Feel grateful for getting a job and say "I am so thankful that I am working and I love my job! I am so happy every morning as I get up and look forward to going to work. Thank God I found a job so quickly! I look forward to paying my bills on time and providing generously for my family. I am so thankful that I get along well with my team and management. I am so thankful that I am a huge asset to my team and I feel appreciated and valued. I love my job!"

Lights! Camera! ACTION!
Make something happen! If you want to find a job quickly your day must be filled with productivity. Before you go to bed each night picture your daily routine for the next day. Picture yourself preparing your clothes the night before, getting up the following morning and getting ready for work. Resist the urge to change your routine. If the kids took the bus to school before, don't start taking them now that you have more free time. Don't start spring cleaning or waste your time catching up on TV. Resist the urge to sleep-in. You must get up everyday, fully-dressed and ready to work. During the normal 8 hours of a work day you should polish up your resume, call business contacts for networking opportunities, do on-line training to increase your job skills and of course, remember to keep a guard over your thoughts and mouth. Keep feeling the joyous feelings of being employed!

Expect it!
Expect to be called for an interview and offered a job. Expect to be fully prepared to wow your employer. You are valued beyond explanation. You are a valued resource that a company is looking for right now. You deserve financial security and job soundness. It is your heritage and birthright as child of God. Did you know that your job is actually looking for you with the same intensity that you are looking for it. You'll know that you are on the right track because everything you do feels good and is fun. You are enjoying yourself and already beginning to feel peace in knowing you are employed. Believe it! Doesn't that just make you want to jump up and give somebody a High-Five!

Congratulations!
To sum it up, your thoughts have to actually transition from worrying to rejoicing and from wondering to knowing. As you continue to focus all of your energy on BEING employed (NOT getting a job) you will feel good, secure and expectantly joyful. The Universe is the exceptional personal assistant. She will coordinate all of the people, places, timing and things to deliver you a job. Have faith and just focus on the end result only. Congratulations! Welcome to the World of the Employed! I knew you could do it!

The Formula for Failure and Success by Jim Rohn

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. We do not fail overnight. Failure is the inevitable result of an accumulation of poor thinking and poor choices. To put it more simply, failure is nothing more than a few errors in judgment repeated every day.

Now why would someone make an error in judgment and then be so foolish as to repeat it every day? The answer is because he or she does not think that it matters.

On their own, our daily acts do not seem that important. A minor oversight, a poor decision, or a wasted hour generally doesn’t result in an instant and measurable impact. More often than not, we escape from any immediate consequences of our deeds.

If we have not bothered to read a single book in the past ninety days, this lack of discipline does not seem to have any immediate impact on our lives. And since nothing drastic happened to us after the first ninety days, we repeat this error in judgment for another ninety days, and on and on it goes. Why? Because it doesn’t seem to matter. And herein lies the great danger. Far worse than not reading the books is not even realizing that it matters!

Those who eat too many of the wrong foods are contributing to a future health problem, but the joy of the moment overshadows the consequence of the future. It does not seem to matter. Those who smoke too much or drink too much go on making these poor choices year after year after year... because it doesn’t seem to matter. But the pain and regret of these errors in judgment have only been delayed for a future time. Consequences are seldom instant; instead, they accumulate until the inevitable day of reckoning finally arrives and the price must be paid for our poor choices—choices that didn’t seem to matter.

Failure’s most dangerous attribute is its subtlety. In the short term those little errors don’t seem to make any difference. We do not seem to be failing. In fact, sometimes these accumulated errors in judgment occur throughout a period of great joy and prosperity in our lives. Since nothing terrible happens to us, since there are no instant consequences to capture our attention, we simply drift from one day to the next, repeating the errors, thinking the wrong thoughts, listening to the wrong voices and making the wrong choices. The sky did not fall in on us yesterday; therefore the act was probably harmless. Since it seemed to have no measurable consequence, it is probably safe to repeat.

But we must become better educated than that!

If at the end of the day when we made our first error in judgment the sky had fallen in on us, we undoubtedly would have taken immediate steps to ensure that the act would never be repeated. Like the child who places his hand on a hot burner despite his parents’ warnings, we would have had an instantaneous experience accompanying our error in judgment.

Unfortunately, failure does not shout out its warnings as our parents once did. This is why it is imperative to refine our philosophy in order to be able to make better choices. With a powerful, personal philosophy guiding our every step, we become more aware of our errors in judgment and more aware that each error really does matter.

Now here is the great news. Just like the formula for failure, the formula for success is easy to follow: It’s a few simple disciplines practiced every day.

Now here is an interesting question worth pondering: How can we change the errors in the formula for failure into the disciplines required in the formula for success? The answer is by making the future an important part of our current philosophy.

Both success and failure involve future consequences, namely the inevitable rewards or unavoidable regrets resulting from past activities. If this is true, why don’t more people take time to ponder the future? The answer is simple: They are so caught up in the current moment that it doesn’t seem to matter. The problems and the rewards of today are so absorbing to some human beings that they never pause long enough to think about tomorrow.

But what if we did develop a new discipline to take just a few minutes every day to look a little further down the road? We would then be able to foresee the impending consequences of our current conduct. Armed with that valuable information, we would be able to take the necessary action to change our errors into new success-oriented disciplines. In other words, by disciplining ourselves to see the future in advance, we would be able to change our thinking, amend our errors and develop new habits to replace the old.

One of the exciting things about the formula for success—a few simple disciplines practiced every day—is that the results are almost immediate. As we voluntarily change daily errors into daily disciplines, we experience positive results in a very short period of time. When we change our diet, our health improves noticeably in just a few weeks. When we start exercising, we feel a new vitality almost immediately. When we begin reading, we experience a growing awareness and a new level of self-confidence. Whatever new discipline we begin to practice daily will produce exciting results that will drive us to become even better at developing new disciplines.

The real magic of new disciplines is that they will cause us to amend our thinking. If we were to start today to read the books, keep a journal, attend the classes, listen more and observe more, then today would be the first day of a new life leading to a better future. If we were to start today to try harder, and in every way make a conscious and consistent effort to change subtle and deadly errors into constructive and rewarding disciplines, we would never again settle for a life of existence, once we had tasted the fruits of a life of substance!

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

The Magic Formula to Better Results: It's Your Response that Counts

by Jack Canfield

In today's economic times, when everywhere you look there’s a rumbling of great uncertainty, I think we should all take a pause (and a deep breath) to think about our lives.

Are we moving in the direction we want to be? When things happen in the world that seem so far beyond our individual control, it can feel unsettling. And even though we think we are the masters of our own success, watching the news these days can chip away at our beliefs.

Even in tough economic times, you get to decide how to respond to certain conditions, opportunities, and outcomes—both good and bad.

While I don’t claim to be an economist, I do know one important fact. The economy is the same for everyone, it’s how you respond to it that determines how you feel about it.

It’s yet another example of what I’ve been teaching for years. . .

E + R = O
(Events + Responses = Outcome)

The basic idea is that every outcome you experience in life (whether it's success or failure, wealth or poverty, wellness or illness, intimacy or estrangement, joy or frustration) is the result of how you have responded to an earlier event (or events) in your life.

If you don't like the outcomes you are currently experiencing, there are two basic choices you can make:

Choice #1: You can blame the event (E) for your lack of results (O).

In other words, you can blame the economy, the weather, the lack of money, lack of education, racism, gender bias, the current administration in Washington, your wife or husband, your boss's attitude, the lack of support, and so on.

No doubt all these factors exist, but if they were the deciding factor, nobody would ever succeed.

For every reason it's not possible, there are hundreds of people who have faced the same circumstances and have succeeded.

It's not the external conditions and circumstances that stop us -- it's us!

We think limiting thoughts and engage in self-defeating behaviors. We defend our self-destructive habits (such as drinking and smoking) with indefensible logic.

We ignore useful feedback, fail to continuously educate ourselves and learn new skills, waste time on the trivial aspects of our lives, engage in idle gossip, eat unhealthy food, fail to exercise, spend more than we make, fail to tell the truth, don't ask for what we want, and then wonder why our lives aren't working.

Choice #2: You can instead simply change your responses (R) to the events (E) until you get the outcomes (O) you want.

You can change your thinking, change your communication, change the pictures you hold in your head (your images of the world) and you can change your behavior (the things you do.) That's all you really have any control over anyway.

Unfortunately, most of us are so engrained in our habits that we never change our behavior.

We get stuck in our conditioned responses-to our spouses and children, to our colleagues at work, to our customers and our clients, to our students, and to the world at large.
You have to gain control of your thoughts, your images, your dreams and daydreams, and your behavior.

Everything you think, say, and do needs to become intentional and aligned with your purpose, your values, and your goals.

If you don't like your outcomes, change your responses!

Here's an example of how this works...

Do you remember the Northridge earthquake in 1994? I do! I lived through it in Los Angeles.

Two days later I watched as CNN interviewed people commuting to work. The earthquake had damaged one of the main freeways leading into the city. Traffic was at a standstill, and what was normally a 1-hour drive had become a 2-3 hour drive.

The CNN reporter knocked on the window of one of the cars stuck in traffic and asked the driver how he was doing.

He responded, angrily, "I hate California. First there were fires, then floods, and now an earthquake! No matter what time I leave in the morning, I'm late for work. I can't believe it!"

Then the Reporter knocked on the window of the car behind him and asked the driver the same question. This driver was all smiles.

He replied "It's no problem. I left my house at five am. I don't think under the circumstances my boss can ask for more than that. I have lots of music and Spanish-language tapes with me. I've got my cell phone. Coffee in a thermos, my lunch-I even have a book to read. I'm fine."

Now, if the earthquake or the traffic were really the deciding variables, then everyone should have been angry. But everyone wasn't.

It was their individual response to the traffic that gave them their particular outcome. It was thinking negative thoughts or positive thoughts, leaving the house prepared or leaving the house unprepared that made the difference. It was all a matter of attitude and behavior that created their completely different experiences.

If we all experience the same EVENT, the OUTCOME you get will be totally dependent upon your RESPONSE to the situation.

If you want to take control of how you respond to life, you’ll start noticing that your outcomes will be more along the lines of what you have always hoped.

Remember, you control your destiny so make it a fantastic one!

The Two Core Fears and the Fear of Failure by Lisa Jimenez, M. Ed.

All of these surface fears fall into two categories, which are the core fears: Fear of Failure and Fear of Success. If you experience fear of commitment, responsibility, growing up, or change, your core fear is the fear of success. If most of your anxiety comes from fear of rejection, confrontation, or not measuring up, your core fear is the fear of failure.

Let’s talk today about the fear of failure. The fear of failing is more common to the person who experiences anxiety from confrontation, rejection, or a feeling of not measuring up (the perfectionist). Your fear of failure has held you back. I see it in the new consultant who will not give a class or an opportunity meeting until they can be sure it will be perfect. So they read and reread their training manual to exhaustion. The reality is there is no better training than real-world, in-the-trenches experience!

Failure is part of your journey of success. Psychologists tell us that if a child has not had a serious fall within the first year of life, they are being too closely guarded (smothered). It’s the same with your life. Is your life too closely guarded? Are you being smothered in safety? Do you allow yourself to risk? Give yourself permission to make a big mistake! Every successful life is sprinkled with failure. It means you’re growing! Failure is a part of success. When you change your beliefs about failure—and what it’s about—you’ll silence your fears. Failures are stepping stones taking you closer to success. Give yourself permission to risk, try something new, make a mistake, and live a bold, imaginative, daring life!

Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs by Brian Tracy

The worst beliefs you can have are “self-limiting beliefs.” These exist whenever you believe yourself to be limited in some way. For example, you may think yourself to be less talented or capable than others. You may think that others are superior to you in some way. You may have fallen into the common trap of selling yourself short and settling for far less than you are truly capable of.

These self-limiting beliefs act like brakes on your potential. They hold you back. They generate the two greatest enemies of personal success—doubt and fear. They paralyze you and cause you to hesitate to take the intelligent risks that are necessary for you to fulfill your true potential.

For you to progress, to move onward and upward in your life and your business, you must continually challenge your self-limiting beliefs. You must reject any thought or suggestion that you are limited in any way. You must accept as a basic principle that you are a “no-limit” person, and that what others have done, you can do as well.

When I was a young man, coming from a difficult upbringing, I fell into the mental trap of concluding that because other people were doing better than I was, they must be better or smarter than I was. I accidentally concluded that they were worth more than I was. I must therefore be worth less. This false belief held me back for years.

The fact is that no one is better than you are and no one is smarter than you are. If they are doing better, it is largely because they have developed their natural talents and abilities more than you have. They have learned the laws of cause and effect that apply to their lives and work before you have. And anything anyone else has done, within reason, you can probably do as well. You just need to learn how.

Find Your Passion!

Customer Service Comes Naturally When You Love What You Do!

Have you ever come across someone who obviously loves what he or she does? I had that experience a few weeks ago. I was in Lake Havasu, Arizona, with a client and we decided to go to dinner at a popular local steak house. The restaurant is called Shugrue’s and it is located by the historic London Bridge. My client, Matt, had been to the restaurant many times and was greeted by the manager. Matt asked if “Tino” had an available table.

“Tino,” actually Vel Tino, is a waiter at the restaurant. He has been at Shugrue’s for six years and I have had the privilege of being served by Tino on several occasions. You can tell from the moment Tino arrives at your table that he loves what he does. He has a great smile and a very engaging personality. Tino took the time to meet everyone at our table and gave great descriptions of the specials and other menu items.

Tino checked back with us to make sure everything was to our liking. He finished the evening by cooking bananas foster tableside. (He put on such a show that several other tables around us placed their order for the same dessert.)

I was so impressed that I wanted to find out more about Tino. He has been in the hospitality industry for 18 years and truly understands the importance of providing world class service.

The food was great, and so was the atmosphere, but what made the evening was the service provided by Tino.

It is easy to provide great service when you love what you are doing.

LIFE IS SHORT!

How many years have you spent working for a company or in a role that was unfulfilling? One thing I have realized over the past few years is how fast the years go by. (This hits home when you cross that mark of being statistically past the half way mark of your time on earth!)

I am not suggesting that every day will be a party. Most jobs will have up and down cycles when you really enjoy what you are doing and then the next month you are looking for any way out. What I am saying is that you should look for ways to make the best out of every situation. Following are a few ideas that may help you start enjoying your work a little more.

1. Focus on Relationships. Most businesses have a product or service that they are selling. The temptation is to concentrate on only the financial side of the business and overlook the people aspect of your work. Don’t get me wrong: returning a profit or being a good steward of your resources is critical for long-term success, but it is not the total picture. Remember that your customers and co-workers are people with their own issues and needs.

2. Serve Others. Remember that the highest calling is to serve others. This could be a person who reports to you in the organization, a client, or a team member with whom you share responsibility for accomplishing a task. Life is not all about you!

3. Have Fun! Search for the positive aspects of your job. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Do your best with the abilities you have been given, but work is not the ultimate reason why we are here on this earth.

4. Manage your Time Wisely. A large portion of the stress associated with work comes when we get behind on our projects and have to work extended hours to meet a deadline. Get a jump on your assignments and allow for the unexpected.

There are estimates that almost 50% of the employed workforce is unhappy in their current job. Even if you have a job that is not exciting or challenging, do your best to enjoy each day!

If you have the chance to find a job that aligns with your passion in life, go for it!
