  • Wherever you are—India, Australia, New Zealand, Stockholm, London, Toronto, Montreal, or New York—we're all working with one power. One Law. It's attraction!

  • The Secret is the law of attraction!

  • Everything that's coming into your life you are attracting into your life. And it's attracted to you by virtue of the images you're holding in your mind. It's what you're thinking

  • "Every thought of yours is a real thing—a force."

  • It doesn't matter who you are or where you are, the law of attraction is forming your entire life experience, and this allpowerful law is doing that through your thoughts. You are the one who calls the law of attraction into action, and you do it through your thoughts

  • The simplest way for me to look at the law of attraction is if I think of myself as a magnet, and I know that a magnet wilt attract to it

  • You are the most powerful magnet in the Universe!

  • The law of attraction says like attracts like, and so as you think a thought, you are also attracting like thoughts to you

  • Our job as humans is to hold on to the thoughts of what we want, make it absolutely clear in our minds what we want, and from that we start to invoke one of the greatest laws in the Universe, and that's the law of attraction. You become what you think about most but you also attract what you think about most

  • If you see it in your mind, you're going to hold it in your hand

  • Thoughts become things!

  • You are a human transmission tower, and you are more powerful than any television tower created on earth. You are the most powerful transmission tower in the Universe. Your transmission creates your life and it creates the world. The frequency you transmit reaches beyond cities, beyond countries, beyond the world. It reverberates throughout the entire Universe. And you are transmitting that frequency with your thoughts!

  • The pictures you receive from the transmission of your thoughts are not on a television screen in your living room, they are the pictures of your life!

  • If you want to change anything in your life, change the channel and change the frequency by changing your thoughts.

  • See yourself living in abundance and you will attract it. It works every time, with every person

  • Here's the problem. Most people are thinking about what they don't want, and they're wondering why it shows up over and over again

  • The only reason why people do not have what they want is because they are thinking more about what they don't want than what they do want. Listen to your thoughts, and listen to the words you are saying. The law is absolute and there are no mistakes

  • An epidemic worse than any plague that humankind has ever seen has been raging for centuries. It is the 'don't want' epidemic. People keep this epidemic alive when they predominantly think, speak, act, and focus on what they 'don't want'

  • It begins with you,, and you can become a pioneer of this new thought movement by simply thinking and speaking about what you want

  • The law of attraction doesn't care whether you perceive something to be good or bad, or whether you don't want it or whether you do want it. It's res-ponding to your thoughts

  • The law of attraction simply gives you whatever it is you are thinking about

  • When you focus your thoughts on something you want, and you hold that focus, you are in that moment summoning what you want with the mightiest power in the Universe. The law of attraction doesn't compute 'don't' or 'not' or 'no,'' or any other words of negation

  • The law of attraction is always working, whether you believe it or understand it or not

  • The law of attraction is the law of creation. Quantum physicists tell us that the entire Universe emerged from thought! You create your life through your thoughts and the law of attraction, and every single person does the same

  • When you become aware of this great law, then you become aware of how incredibly powerful you are, to be able to THINK your life into existence

  • It's working as much as you're thinking. Any time your thoughts are flowing, the law of attraction is working. When you're thinking about the past, the law of attraction's working. When you're thinking about the present or the future, the law of attraction is working. It's an ongoing process. You don't press pause, you don't press stop. It is forever in action, as your thoughts are

  • If you are speaking or listening to someone, you are thinking

  • Make your last thoughts before going to sleep good thoughts

  • Creation is always happening. Every time an individual has a thought, or a prolonged chronic way of thinking, they're in the creation process. Something is going to manifest out of those thoughts

  • What you are thinking now is creating your future life

  • Because you are always thinking, you are always creating. What you think about the most or focus on the most is what will appear as your life.

  • With this powerful knowledge, you can completely change every circumstance and event in your entire life, by changing the way you think

  • No matter where you are now, no matter what has happened in your life, you can begin to consciously choose your thoughts, and you can change your life

  • Your life is a mirror of the dominant thoughts you think

  • They can use their free will to choose their thoughts. They have the power to intentionally think and create their entire life with their mind

  • Quantum physics really begins to point to this discovery. It says that you can't have a Universe without mind entering into it, and that the mind is actually shaping the very thing that is being perceived

  • Your mind thinks thoughts and the pictures are broadcast back as your life experience. You not only create your life with your thoughts, but your thoughts add powerfully to the creation of the world, If you thought that you were insignificant and had no power in this world, think again. Your mind is actually shaping the world around you

  • Hey need to be aware that it has been scientifically proven that an affirmative thought is hundreds of times more powerful than a negative thought. That eliminates a degree of worry right there

  • If you worry about having negative thoughts, you will attract more worrying about your negative thoughts, and multiply them at the same time. Decide right now that you are going to think only good thoughts. At the same time, proclaim to the Universe that all your good thoughts are powerful, and that any negative thoughts are weak

  • Thank God that there's a time delay, that all of your thoughts don't come true instantly. We'd be in trouble if they did. The element of time delay serves you. It allows you to reassess, to think about what you want, and to make a new choice

  • All of your power to create your life is available right now, because right now is when you are thinking

  • You can erase your previous thoughts by replacing them with good thoughts. Time serves you because you can think new thoughts and emit a new frequency, now!

  • You want to become aware of your thoughts and choose your thoughts carefully and you want to have fun with this, because you are the masterpiece of your own life. You are the Michelangelo of your own life. The David you are sculpting is you

  • Meditation quiets your mind, helps you control your thoughts, and revitalizes your body

  • "I am the master of my thoughts." Say it often, meditate on it, and as you hold to that intention, by the law of attraction you must become that

  • The possibility of that version of you already exists on the frequency of "the most magnificent version of You." Decide what you want to be, do, and have, think the thoughts of it, emit the frequency, and your vision will become your life

  • The Great Secret of Life is the law of attraction

  • The law of attraction says like attracts like, so when you think a thought, you are also attracting like thoughts to you

  • Thoughts are magnetic, and thoughts have a frequency. As you think thoughts, they are sent out into the Universe, and they magnetically attract all like things that are on the same frequency. Everything sent out returns to the source—you

  • You are like a human transmission tower, transmitting a frequency with your thoughts. If you want to change anything in your life, change the frequency by changing your thoughts

  • Everything that surrounds you right now in your life, including the things you're complaining about, you've attracted

  • Our feelings let us know what we're thinking

  • The emotions are an incredible gift that we have to let us know what we're thinking

  • The most important thing for you to know is that it is impossible to feel bad and at the same time be having good thoughts. That would defy the law, because your thoughts cause your feelings. If you are feeling bad, it is because you are thinking thoughts that are making you feel bad

  • It's really so simple. 'What am I attracting right now?' Well, how do you feel? 'I feel good.' Well good, keep doing that

  • Our feelings are a feedback mechanism to us about whether we're on track or not, whether we're on course or off course

  • When you are feeling good feelings, it is communication back from the Universe saying, "You are thinking good thoughts" Likewise, when you are feeling bad, you are receiving communication back from the Universe saying, "You are thinking bad thoughts."

  • You can begin right now to feel healthy. You can begin to feel prosperous. You can begin to feet the love that's surrounding you, even if it's not there. And what will happen is the universe will correspond to the nature of your song. The universe will correspond to the nature of that inner feeling and manifest, because that's the way you feel

  • There is no greater power in the Universe than the power of love. The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. If you could wrap every thought in love, if you could love everything and everyone, your life would be transformed

  • You cannot harm another with your thoughts, you only harm You. If you think thoughts of love, guess who receives the benefits—you!

  • Albert Einstein: 'The most important question any human being can ask themselves is, 'Is this a friendly Universe?''

  • you deserve all good things life has to offer

  • "Your wish is my command!"

  • The first step is to ask. Make a command to the Universe. Let the Universe know what you want. The Universe responds to your thoughts.

  • What do you really want? Sit down and write it out on a piece of paper. Write it in the present tense. You might begin by writing, "I am so happy and grateful now that..." And then explain how you want your life to be, in every area.

  • You get to choose what you want, but you must get clear about what you want

  • Step two is believe. Believe that it's already yours. Have what I love to call unwavering faith. Believing in the unseen

  • In the moment you ask, and believe and know you already have it in the unseen, the entire Universe shifts to bring it into the seen. You must act, speak, and think, as though you are receiving it now.

  • Step three, and the final step in the process, is to receive. Begin to feel wonderful about it. Feel the way you Will feel once it arrives. Feel it now

  • When you are feeling good, you are on the frequency of receiving

  • When you turn that fantasy into a fact, you're in the position to build bigger and bigger fantasies

  • "Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

  • Inspired action will not feel like work at all

  • Inspired action is when you are acting to receive

  • If you have an intuitive or instinctive feeling, follow it, and you will find that the Universe is magnetically moving you to receive what you asked for

  • You will attract everything that you require

  • All you require is You, and your ability to think things into being. Everything that has been invented and created throughout the history of humankind began with one thought. From that one thought a way was made, and it manifested from the invisible into the visible

  • Trust the Universe. Trust and believe and have faith

  • Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step.

  • If you focus on losing weight, you will attract back having to lose more weight so get 'having to lose weight' out of your mind. It's the very reason why diets don't work. Because you are focused on losing weight, you must attract back continually having to lose weight

  • If someone is overweight, it came from thinking 'fat thoughts' whether that person was aware of it or not

  • It is your thought that food is responsible for putting on weight that actually has food put on weight

  • Think perfect thoughts and the result must be perfect weight

  • Let go of all those limiting thoughts. Food cannot cause you to put on weight unless you think it can

  • Get clear on the weight you want to be. Have a picture in your mind of what you will look like when you have become that perfect weight

  • You must believe you will receive and that the perfect weight is yours already. You must imagine, pretend, act as if, make-believe, that the perfect weight is yours. You must see yourself as receiving that perfect weight

  • You must feel good. You must feel good about You. This is important, because you cannot attract your perfect weight if you feel bad about your body now

  • When you eat, make sure you are entirely focused on the experience of chewing the food. Keep your mind present and experience the sensation of eating food, and do not allow your mind to drift to other things. Be present in your body and enjoy all the sensations of chewing the food in your mouth and swallowing it

  • Time is just an illusion

  • whatever you want in the future already exists

  • Begin to expect great things, and as you do, you will create your life in advance

  • "I have more than enough time,"

  • Set the Universal forces ahead of you in everything you do and everywhere you go, by thinking the way you want it to go in advance. Then you are creating your life intentionally

  • The Creative Process helps you create what you want in three simple steps: ask, believe, and receive

  • Asking the Universe for what you want is your opportunity to get clear about what you want. As you get clear in your mind, you have asked

  • Your current reality or your current life is a result of the thoughts you have been thinking. All of that will totally change as you begin to change your thoughts and your feelings

  • Expect the things you want and don't expect the things you don't want

  • You are the creator of your life, and so begin by intentionally creating your day!

  • The very first thing is to start making a list of things to be grateful for

  • Every morning I get up and say "Thank you." Every morning, when my feet hit the floor, "Thank you."

  • Our job is not to figure out the how. The how will show up out of a commitment and belief in the what

  • Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it's possible for you. And then close your eyes every day for several minutes, and visualize having what you already want, feeling the feelings of already having it. Come out of that and focus on what you're grateful for already, and really enjoy it. Then go into your day and release it to the Universe and trust that the Universe will figure out how to manifest it

  • At the end of every day, before you go to sleep, go back through the events of the day. Any events or moments that were not what you wanted, replay them in your mind the way you wanted them to go

  • I want you to set a goal that's so big that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind, and you would knew it's only because of what I've taught you that you would have achieved this goal

  • "Whatever the mind ... can conceive it can achieve."

  • When you want to attract something into your life, make sure your actions don't contradict your desires

  • To attract money, you must focus on wealth

  • You must tip the balance of your thoughts from lack-of-money to morethan-enough-money

  • The shortcut to anything you want in your life is to BE and FEEL happy now!

  • "I can afford that! I can buy that!"

  • When you make-believe, the results come fast!

  • "Money comes easily and frequently."

  • When it comes to creating wealth, wealth is a mindset. It's all about how you think

  • "The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance. Success comes from within, not from without."

  • I have more than enough. There is an abundance of money and it's on its way to me. I am a money magnet. I love money and money loves me. I am receiving money every day. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you

  • You need to go for the inner joy, the inner peace, the inner vision first, and then all of the outer things appear

  • Radiate the feelings of happiness and joy within you, and transmit that into the Universe with all of your might, and you will experience true heaven on earth

  • How can you ever expect anyone else to enjoy your company if you don't enjoy your own company?

  • Do you treat yourself the way you want other people to treat you ?

  • The Secret means that we are creators of our Universe, and that every wish that we want to create will manifest in our lives. Therefore, our wishes, thoughts, and feelings are very important because they will manifest

  • Any action we take must be preceded by a thought. Thoughts create the words we speak, the feelings we feel, and our actions

  • Think about what you have asked for, and make sure that your actions are mirroring what you expect to receive, and that they're not contradicting what you've asked for

  • The reason you have to love You is because it is impossible to feel good if you don't love You

  • Your job is you. Unless you fill yourself up first, you have nothing to give anybody

  • Treat yourself with love and respect, and you will attract people who show you love and respect

  • "Thinking perfect health" is something anybody can do privately within themselves, no matter what is happening around them

  • The Universe is a masterpiece of abundance. When you open yourself to feel the abundance of the Universe, you'll experience the wonder, joy, bliss, and all the great things that the Universe has for you —good health, good wealth, good nature

  • All stress begins with one negative thought

  • If you put enough stress on the chain and you put enough stress on the system, then one of the links breaks

  • Our physiology creates disease to give us feedback, to let us know we have an imbalanced perspective, or we're not being loving and grateful

  • Laughter really is the best medicine

  • The immune system is made to heal itself

  • "I think perfect thoughts. I see only perfection. I am perfection."

  • I always say that incurable means "curable from within."

  • Man becomes what he thinks about."

  • We are now entering the era of energy medicine. Everything in the Universe has a frequency and all you have to do to is change a frequency or create an opposite frequency. That's how easy it is to change anything in the world, whether that's disease or emotional issues or whatever that is. This is huge. This is the biggest thing that we have ever come across

  • "Focusing on perfect health" is something we can all do within ourselves, despite what may be happening on the outside.

  • Anything we focus on we do create

  • "What you resist persists."

  • You have all the power. Focus on everybody being in joy. Focus on abundance of food. Give your powerful thoughts to what is wanted. You have the ability to give so much to the world by emitting feelings of love and wellbeing, despite what is happening around you

  • Learn to become still, and to take your attention away from what you don't want, and all the emotional charge around it, and place the attention on what you wish to experience.... Energy flows where attention goes

  • As you focus on the good things you feel good, and you are bringing more good things to the world. At the same time, you are bringing more good things into your own life. When you feel good you uplift your life, and you uplift the world!

  • When the voice and the vision on the inside become more profound, clear, and loud than the opinions on the outside, you've mastered your life

  • It's not your job to change the world, or the people around you. It's your job to go with the flow inside of the Universe, and to celebrate it inside the world that exists

  • Let all others create the life they want

  • When you are praising someone or something you are giving love, and as you emit that magnificent frequency, it will return to you a hundred-fold.

  • Instead of focusing on the world's problems, give your attention and energy to trust, love, abundance, education, and peace

  • All the things you want are made of energy, and they are vibrating too. Everything is energy

  • You're a spiritual being! You're an energy field, operating in a larger energy field

  • We are the creators, not only of our own destiny, but ultimately we are the creators of Universal destiny

  • Every possibility already exists. All knowledge, all discoveries, and all inventions of the future, are in the Universal Mind as possibilities, waiting for the human mind to draw them forth

  • Look around you for needs waiting to be filled. Imagine if we had a great invention to do this, or imagine if we had a great invention to do that. Look for the needs, and then imagine and think their fulfilment into being

  • All you have to do is hold your mind on the end result and imagine filling the need, and you will call it into being

  • You cannot be harmed unless you call harm into existence by emitting those negative thoughts and feelings

  • Think about every negative emotion there is and you will discover that every one of them is based in fear. They come from thoughts of separation and from seeing yourself as separate from another

  • Focus only on your dreams, your visions, and take all competition out of the equation

  • You have to get competition out of your mind, and become a creative mind

  • By the law of attraction, as you compete you will attract many people and circumstances to compete against You in every single aspect of your life, and in the end you will lose. We are all One, and so when you compete, you compete against You

  • "All power is from within and therefore under our control."

  • Are the results you have in your life what you really want? And are they worthy of you? If they're not worthy of you, then wouldn't now be the right time to change those? Because you have the power to do that

  • When you say 'I am,' the words that follow are summoning creation with a mighty force, because you are declaring it to be fact

  • Whether you think you can or think you can't, either way you are right

  • You are a genius beyond description, so start telling yourself that and become aware of who you really are

  • We are unlimited beings. We have no ceiling. The capabilities and the talents and the gifts and the power that is within every single individual that is on the planet, is unlimited

  • Stop and ask yourself, "What am I thinking now? What am I feeling now?"

  • "Remember to remember!"

  • To not love ourselves can keep what we want from us. When we don't love ourselves, we are literally pushing things away from us

  • To attract the things we love we must transmit love, and those things will appear immediately

  • To love yourself fully, you must focus on a new dimension of You. You must focus on the presence inside of You. Take a moment and sit still. Focus on feeling the life presence inside you. As you focus on the presence within, it will begin to reveal itself to You. It is a feeling of pure love and bliss, and it is perfection. That presence is the perfection of You. That presence is the real You. As you focus on that presence, as you feel, love, and praise that presence, you will love yourself fully, quite possibly for the first time in your life

  • The absolute truth is that the ' I ' is perfect and complete; the real ' I ' is spiritual and can therefore never be less than perfect; it can never have any lack, limitation, or disease

  • Your purpose is what you say it is. Your mission is the mission you give yourself Your life will be what you create it as, and no one will stand in judgment of it, now or ever

  • If it ain't fun, don't do it!

  • Inner happiness actually is the fuel of success

  • Be happy now. Feel good now

  • If it doesn't feel good, then let it go. Find something that feels good, that resonates with your heart

  • "Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls."

  • When you follow your bliss you live in a constant space of joy. You open yourself to the abundance of the Universe. You're excited to share your life with those you love, and your excitement, your passion, your bliss become contagious

  • Enjoy life, because life is phenomenal! It's a magnificent trip!

  • See yourself with the good that you desire

  • You were born to add something, to add value to this world. To simply be something, bigger and better than you were yesterday

  • Now you get that you are the creator of your destiny. So how much more do you get to do? How much more do you get to be? How many more people do you get to bless, simply by your mere existence? What will you do with the moment? How will you seize the moment? No one else can dance your dance, no one else can sing your song, no one else can write your story. Who you are, what you do, begins right now!

  • You are the master of the Universe. You are the heir to the kingdom. You are the perfection of Life
