2008-Jun-15 - 9 Steps To Get What You Want From Life

I read this Article in Selling Power Magazine and felt I should start my 9 steps by sharing what I learned with you. Now let me clarify some things so we have no confusion of whom I am or where my feelings and thoughts are coming from.

I am in no way a “Religious” person. However, I have a strong sense of “Spirituality”. With that being aid my basis for this writing is totally spiritual.

We all have wants, needs, etc. But we actually have the power to process energy to help us get what we want from life. In these following 9 Steps. This writing is based in part of Dr. Wayne Dyer and his book Manifest Your Destiny: The Nine Spiritual Principles for Getting Everything You Want (HarperPaperbacks 1999).

We mostly go through looking for what we want in all the wrong places. We must stop wishing and hoping and use this 9 Step Plan to allow it to happen.

Step 1: Put Your Pride Aside. 

The good doctor says we are divided by 2 selves…our ego and a higher more self sacred self. This is how we go after the piece of pie before anyone else gets a chance too. “This Egos Mantra Is, I always Must Have More” Sounds like we all suffer from an addictive personality to me. But when you stop and think about that, we are addicted to what we love most…Whether it is Our Personal High Priced Car. Our Love For The Money Our Business Makes Us. Or just simply we love working with computers so much no money becomes a non issue, as long as we can fulfill the need to work with a computer.

We can accomplish that list of wants, needs etc. for the day then the next day comes and the ego says “That was nice for then but this is what we need today.” Our Oft-Neglected Sacred Selves on one hand says make peace a priority. This part of us is like explained above…Not concerned with being wrong or even if we have won or lost, how much we get, or who we may be better than. It only wants us to be at peace.

Now of course our ego continuously gets in the way. To tame our ego, stop as much chaos as possible and of course ultimately achieve peace…You Must Put More Importance On Being KIND Than Being RIGHT!

Step 2: Trust Yourself.

“When you trust in yourself,” says Dyer, “you trust in the wisdom that created you.”  Dyer makes use of a lesson from a teacher, Abraham Lazlo, to clarify what it actually means to trust. Trust is an interesting subject as many have their views and definitions, to me that sounds like ones ego speaking.

Lazlo Says That really highly functioning people are different from the rest of us in 3 ways:

1.       They run their lives without anyone else’s approval.

2.       They are motivated by an inner knowledge that they are on the right path.

3.       They Have No Need For Power Over Others.

When you have adopted these qualities you are trusting in yourself.  And when trusting in yourself you are no longer trusting in the physical body that is you. You have reached the ability to trust in the divine intelligence that runs through you. “You are not a human being having a spiritual experience…You are a Spiritual Being having a human experience.”

Side note: Power Tip; Discard Pride and open yourself to the world.

Step 3: Become One with Your World.

To get what we want from the Environment, Dyer Says, we need to recognize that we are environorganisms – which we are part of the environment and it is a part of us.” If you were to describe walking across a floor. You could not describe that with accuracy unless you describe the floor upon which you walk, the oxygen that you breathe, the gravity that keeps you from floating away like on the moon. We are bound to the environment around so Dyer Suggests in his book.  We also are inextricably (Dyer Word) bound to the things in the environment that are missing as well. Things we want are everywhere around us, but to have them we must think of ourselves as a separate entity.

Step 4: Use Your Powers Of Attraction.

When it comes to reaching our goals, living our dreams many people seem to get all caught up in what they see as their limitations. Now I would assume from Dyers point that means all of us. How do we stop these tendencies? The Earth moves constantly, always in rotation, as things move through space with this energy, on Earth Flowers bloom, trees grow and life itself depends and exist on this energy. This very same energy can make us bloom as well into what we strive to be. Even when we feel we are going no where remember that the energy is moving the Earth at all times. We tell ourselves we are not moving but in essence we are. We need to channel that energy to bring to our lives what we need and want. We really do have the power to make it happen and draw the energy in.

Step 5: Get What You Deserve.

Is a Quotation of Dyers Work…”When you feel undeserving of the things you want, you might sabotage your own efforts to get them.” If Step 4 states that you can use the energy in the universe to attract the things you want into your life, Step 5 states that first you have to feel worthy by feeling connected to the energy. “Knowing you’re worthy means understanding your connection to that which causes things to show up in the first place.” End Quote! If we feel separated from the energy or that we are not worthy of the energy, or perhaps we feel God or divinity, whatever that energy might be is something set apart from ourselves and we feel that we do not deserve to have it, this type of belief will keep us eluded always. Now Dyer says in his book that “it is like thinking of God as the Ocean and us as a glass. When we dip the glass in the ocean, you now have a Glass Of God (so to speak), It is not as Big, nor strong, but it is still a piece of God and we feel connected to that source.

Step 6: Love without limits.

When you have reached the ability to channel the weld bounding power of unconditional love we have taken a gigantic step closer towards manifesting our destiny says Dyer. Dyer Believes that if desire to master anything in your life, whether it be an Actress/Actor, Singer, Internet Guru, Top Copywriter that you will go through pathways.

1. Discipline
2. Wisdom
3. Unconditional Love

When we have unconditional love, limitations and fears disappear and joy and power replace them. Dyer Quote” I watched Pavarotti sing at a Three Tenors concert, and as he sang, what made him the greatest was he was loving what he was doing and exhibiting and radiating that love to everyone who was in the stadium listening to him. And you have to be able to fall in love with what you do and sell that love and connect on that level.” End Quote

Step 7: Make a joyful noise.

With explaining the 7^th Principle of the manifestation in Manifest Your Destiny, Dyer offering that sound is a link between the material (here and now) and spiritual worlds. All sounds are vibrations from waves alternating to a precise frequency. Solid forms are found at a low range. It is theorized that thoughts (thinking patterns, ideas and so on) take place at ranges (frequencies) that re too high to capture accurate results with the current available technology. Dyer Quote “By repeating sounds of creation (ahh) and the sounds of manifestation (om) during meditation each morning and evening and carefully observing the remaining 8 principles of manifestation, you can put yourself in harmony with your environment, attain peace and enlightenment, and gather the energy of creation. End Quote!

Step 8: Stay separate from the outcome.

To Manifest, achieve things we want in our lives we must not allow ourselves to become so preoccupied with when, how etc. they will arrive. Dyer feels many salespersons are unable or do not know how to detach themselves from whatever outcome of what they may be doing. Basically putting self in our own way. Ironically the very high functioning (the smart genius) are only motivated by what’s in it for them.  In all honesty that is a very true statement. As I have read and studied this writing I see how I even get in my own way. The Genius is motivated by knowing within that they’re on the right path and have the blessed ability to let the good ol universe or God if you prefer handle it. Dyer Quote “By Recognizing your oneness with what you want to manifest and your connection to a universal intelligence, you can be so certain that your desires will appear that you don’t have to worry about when and how they will.  Practicing the other principles of manifestation helps you develop an inner peace and fulfillment that make you feel you’ve already found what you seek. “End Quote

Step 9: Be grateful for what you’ve got.

When we realize and show our gratitude for our energies that flow through us we then see our desires being met.  Gratitude is key as without it you have nothing to be thankful for. Even when you hit a bad day be thankful as then you won’t be so apt to take the good days for granted.  See by being grateful for what you have is how you make progress towards getting more. To develop an attitude of gratitude you must abandon all tendencies towards complaining, fault finding, and never take what you already have for granted.  Stop seeing yourself as the victim and become the recipient of the good things that the positive energies will bring you. Start now by telling the people around you hw much you appreciate them. Start beginning and ending your days with expressions of gratitude.  Basically we must change our way of thinking. I clearly see how I have gotten in my own way many times. The Genius is just the one who gets this and utilizes it to its fullest. We all know many of them.

Now I agree in Spiritualality, I am a little confused as it is a new concept to apply but feel that it will work. I have seen it work in my life already, just lately I have been in my own way too much. I have seen and felt the energy, I will feel it again and you can too.  Thanks for taking the read this, now put it to work and contact me in a month to let me know how it is going.
