Steve Pavlina discusses five reasons why our intentions do not manifest in the real world:

1) Failing to hold the intention
2) No energy behind the intention.
3) Intention is fuzzy
4) Cancellation of the intention
5) Your intention conflicts with your beliefs.

The article ends with an advice:

When applying intention-manifestation, be patient with yourself. When you slip, don’t fall. If you catch yourself succumbing to mental laziness, fuzziness, or negative thinking, simply turn your attention back to what you want. With practice you’ll build mental discipline, and you’ll find it easier to stay focused on your desires without so much internal resistance. And then you’ll find your intentions manifesting much more smoothly and effortlessly.

Are you aware that, whenever you think a thought or feel a feeling, you are broadcasting a vibration out into the Universe? Then, like a magnet, your vibration connects with people and situations of like vibration, attracting them back into your Life. Your environment is in reality a self-portrait – a perfect composite of your thoughts and feelings.

According to the Universal Law of Attraction, you magnetize and attract to yourself whatever you focus on. Thus, your environment is your canvas and you are continually painting the picture of your life with your thoughts and feelings. When you apply the Law of Attraction and focus your thoughts and feelings on what you want instead of what you don’t want, your environment will exhibit a self-portrait that thrills you in every way.

“The environment that you find yourself in, whether favorable or not, is the product of your own life. Most people, however, fail to understand this, and tend to blame others for their troubles.” – Daisaku Ikeda Read the rest of this entry »

This is one of the biggest secrets to finding and keeping a good life partner. It not only boils down to what you do, but how you think.

Here’s what happened.

Some time ago, in my 30’s I spent nearly 2 years single. I used to wake up in the morning, leave my expensive house, get into my sports car and drive to my successful engineering business. After work, I went to the health club on my way home, exercised, played squash etc. Often women looked my way and were friendly towards me. Yet I never dated for months on end.
