Keep Your Vibration High

<ul><li>In a nutshell, the law asserts that what we believe will manifest in our lives. If we think we are worthy of enormous love, we materialize that love in our lives. We will remain poor if we believe we will be poor. If we feel we don't deserve anything nothing will come to us.</li><li>To put it another way, concentrating on criticizing yourself will manifest more of the very thing you're being critical about. Think about it; you'd never see a wealthy money hater.</li><li>As a result, We attract the very things we hold in our thoughts, We are what we think we are. We manifest is a direct result of our ideas.</li></ul>

You Attract What You Think

<ul><li>Having a positive outlook on life is essential for a successful day.

Keeping a positive mindset sends a positive signal to the cosmos, which, in turn reflects it back. You may begin to feel healthy, affluent, intelligent and joyful and the universe will manifest these things.</li></ul>

It's All About How You Feel

<ul><li>When it comes to attracting what you want, the universe can't tell the difference between positive & negative thoughts.

Instead focus on the positive by telling yourself, "I am Wealthy, and money flows easily."</li><li>The Secret instructs us to focus on good ideas rather than negative ones.
