Pretending Your Life As You Want It - True Power Series
This is the sixth article in our "True Power" series. If you haven't been following the series, visit The ARTrepreneur to read the foundational material on beliefs before continuing.
All people live a structured existence that is entirely make-believe. For
example, though we act as if it's true, there is no such thing as days of the
week or hours in a day. These things are completely fabricated conventions. If
an alien were to visit New York, and someone said, "Well it's Monday morning,
everyone's off to work," the alien would nod politely and think, "How quaint.
They regulate their lives into compartments." The alien would in no way mistake
the custom for reality. He would recognize the custom as an idea. We pretend
it's real, but we could pretend other customs just as easily.
There is no such thing as time really ? no minutes, hours, days, weeks, or
months. We pretend they exist, and structure our lives accordingly, but we could
just as easily do it a different way. The day could be split in half and called
"up" and "down." Someone named some cycles. There are other cycles and other
names. Musicians, for example, often operate in a no-time zone. Lots of writers
have inverted or highly individualistic work schedules. Many artists have made
successful careers by following their own personal rhythms and beliefs. They
never fell for, "That's the way it is," because they knew it was all pretend,
and they could pretend their own structure just as easily as following someone
else's.
If someone says to you, "the music business is brutal," refuse to believe it. If
they want to pretend it's brutal, then they'll get that result. You won't be so
easily deceived. There are actors who have made careers quickly in Hollywood
because they didn't realize it was supposed to be hard. They weren't aware of
the convention. Realize that all conventions that we call modern society are
just ideas. Ideas are mobile. You can use them, discard them, and invent new
ideas. In reality, there is no movie industry or art industry. In reality, there
are never "Seven Steps to Anything." There are only ideas, and your ideas are as
valid as anyone's, and certainly more valid for you.
Pretending Your Life As You Want It Exercise
There are two ways to do this exercise. Choose a time everyday, and pretend your
life just the way you want it. See yourself in your mind doing the things you
want to do the way you want to do them. This is much like the internal
visualization exercises. You try to trick your mind into believing you're
experiencing the ideal now.
If you are bolder, you can pick a day or even a longer period of time, and while
you go about your day-to-day life, pretend that what you really want is
happening. Have imaginary meetings, imaginary bank deposits, imaginary shows,
imaginary dinners out. Physically, you may be doing the dishes, but mentally
you're making your subconscious become accustomed to the ideal. The minute you
do this, it starts to create the circumstances to make it happen. The less you
negate the ideal, the less you say to yourself, "That's not realistic. I can't
have it," the easier and faster it will be produced. By thinking freely about
the ideal, you begin to whittle away at doubts. At some point you'll accept the
ideal, and the pretend world and the actual world will begin to mesh.
Every successful person ignored the pretend circumstances outside themselves,
and pretended, instead, to be who they wanted to be and live how they wanted to
live. Pretending, then, is the essence of experience and, therefore, an
essential quality. Your life is a masterpiece composed of ideas that motivate
you to act. Be the creator of those ideas. Be moved by your own impulses and
desires. Pretend your existence into what you want it to be. That's all anyone's
doing anyways.

So You Want To Win the Lottery
If we all got everything we wanted, most of us would have won the lottery by now. So what happens when we notice that we aren't getting what we want, even when we've been using Law of Attraction to manifest a particular desire for an extended period of time?
Power Affirmations Are Not Enough
I hope this article finds you safe and well. I'm sure you have been as moved as I have in watching the devastating damage caused by Hurricane Katrina. I want to use this as an opportunity to remind myself and everyone who reads this article that affirmations alone are not enough. They are only thought tools to help you take consistent, positive, focused action. If all you do is repeat Power Affirmations, listen to Power Affirmations, etc., but don't allow them to move you to action, they will have no effect.
How to Get that It Factor Happening
Sitting here today in sunny Queensland Australia, I?m reflecting on what makes one person more attractive than another. Not just by physical attraction, but what makes them captivating. I?ve met absolutely gorgeous guys and girls that after spending five minutes with them, I?m already trying to find my escape route.

You Cant Direct the Wind but You Can Adjust the Sails
Dear Friend,
Dont Let Other Peoples Walls Fence You In
"How's it going?" I asked the clerk in the new bookstore. "Well you know," she replied "it takes a long time to build a business." I caught myself just before I muttered in agreement and instead said, "Does it?". You see, the clerk is simply repeating a commonly held belief, a global belief that it takes a long time to build a business. This is not a fact just simply a belief and limiting one at that. Unfortunately, it is held by enough people that would begin to believe it's a fact. We are surrounded by limiting global beliefs. Throughout history, people have been held back by these beliefs. The world is flat, man cannot run a four-minute mile, man was not meant to fly and on and on until someone came along and disproved them. There is a commonly held belief that 80% of new businesses fail in their first five years.
Use Your Reset Button to Change Your Vibration
At every moment you can tell if the vibration that you are sending is either a positive one or a negative one by identifying the feeling you are experiencing. At every moment you have a feeling and that feeling is causing you to emit or send off a vibration - and in the 'vibrational' world there are only two kinds of vibrations; positive or negative. So as you talk about what you don't want and make negative declarative statements, in that moment you are sending out and emitting a negative vibration. Law of Attraction then matches it by giving you more of the same.
Respect Is A Four-Letter Word
One of the most important needs for every human being is the need to be respected. It doesn't matter if you or anyone else is a corporate executive, host of your own television show, short-order cook, Wal-Mart greeter or stay-at-home parent. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect regardless of occupation, gender or social status.

The Law of Attraction and Love
The Law of Attraction says that 'like attracts like'. It means that whatever your predominate thoughts are will show up as people and experiences in your life. I used to get really angry with this idea. The people in my life were not the kind of people I wanted. The experiences in my life were not the experiences I wanted! Why couldn't I seem to get this attraction thing to work for me? Why couldn't I make things come out differently? What was wrong with me?
Whose Life Is It Anyway?
Whose life are you living? Are you living your dream or someone else's?
How much of your life is being decided by someone else? Are you in a profession you dislike because it is expected of you? Do you engage in activities you would rather skip, simply because it is part of your "role" as a spouse or mother?
Do Your Things Own You?
Do you have things like a bicycle, jetski, or swimming pool that sit unused? Is it that you don't have time to use them because you have to work so much just to pay for them? Sometimes it seems like all the things we own somehow own us.
Why Do We Lack Character
Our people have no character" is acknowledged universally, at home and abroad, in business and government circles, and in every sphere of administrative activity. Lack of character produces social imbalance and leads ultimately to national decline and disintegration. The malady has been eating up the vitals of our social life too fast to withstand an unexpected shock.
What Do You Do?
When I go out and talk to business people, I hear them talking about all the things they do from day to day. They talk about the problems they have and their frustrations with a whole variety of things they do. Invariably I find myself thinking: why do they do these things in the first place. As an extreme example, if you had your hand in a flame and it was burning, you would move it wouldn't you? So why not do something about the things that cause you stress and frustrate you?
Putting Yourself on the Road to Success
What separates successful people from unsuccessful people, achievers from non-achievers, winners from losers? Are people born that way or do they develop habits as they grow older which determine their stations in life?
The Winning Combo!
What do we all strive for in life? Success! Success is the ultimate destination. Every one of us has the good intentions and capacity to achieve something but we lack the follow-through. A system is needed to keep us focused on the most important thoughts, ideas, people, actions, and results. Perhaps, a life organizer is what we require.
Law of Attraction and Dreams, Premonitions or Predictions
Recently, I received an interesting email in which a woman told me that when she was 10 years old, she was shown in a dream how one day she would have a son and he would die at a certain age in a specific fashion. She also reported that this did, in fact, occur. Her question to me was, "How can I believe the Law of Attraction is working when some things seem beyond our control?"
