Personal Transformation Lessons

Do you want to be wealthier, healthier, thinner, or simply happier? Personal transformation - turning all your dreams into realities can be easy if you heed the ideas behind "The Secret". In her worldwide bestseller, Rhonda Byrne reveals how powerful our mind can be in causing things to change around us.

The process is simple. It can be summed up in three words: Ask, believe and receive.

Ask

Before you can change an aspect of your life, you need to ask for that change to happen. This entails defining clearly what your goal is. To illustrate, if your wish is to have wealth, then that is exactly what you must ask for. The Secret maintains that the universal Law of Attraction works in this way: your thoughts attract like objects.

By thinking "wealth", wealth will flow to you. Think happiness and the world will cooperate with you by letting you experience happiness in your life. Smile and the world smiles back at you.

Believe

To believe in something means to act, speak and think as though what you are asking for is already present in your life. This is to be distinguished from delusional thinking where the thoughts of one who is detached from reality is not motivated by a goal.

Your belief is a means to an end. Stop shopping for loose clothing if your goal is to lose weight. If you wish to be rich, fill your wallet with money always. If you want a stable relationship with your partner, stop looking for signs of infidelity in your partner.

Watch your thoughts always. Affirm your belief in the changes you wish for. Replace all negative thoughts quickly as they arise. Remember that faith is a strong and powerful force. It is what keeps old religions alive throughout centuries.

Receive

To receive means that you experience the feeling that comes with the things you asked for. If you want to be thinner, then you have to start feeling lighter and more confident about yourself. If you wish to be richer, then you must feel financial security everyday.

It is common to hear people wish for happiness in their lives. To get exactly what you wish for, you must start feeling brighter, lighter and devoid of negativity in your heart. Get rid of negative thoughts that act as anchors - they stop you feeling happy, healthy and wealthy.

Visualize your day in advance

Most of us start our days with a list of things to do. Notice how following a to-do list seems to get more things done. This is the effect of visualization.

When you draw a list of things to do for the day, you are actually planning and visualizing how your day will look like. You can do the same about your goals during the day. Don't start the week with a Manic Monday, instead treat it as Happy Monday.

Visualize your health plan at work all throughout the day and watch yourself stick to it. Create a mental picture of your financial endeavors working smoothly and see how the day agrees with you.

No matter what your personal transformation goal is, the key to success is Ask, Believe and Receive.
