It has been said, that in the beginning, the gods had a meeting and decided to give man the very same creative power that they themselves possess. The gods pondered where should they hide this priceless gift? One suggested that they should hide it in the last place that man would attempt to look for it. "Let's hide it where man will never think to look for it: within his own mind."  And so the story of the Supreme Secret was born!

Now down throughout the ages, the "Secret" keeps folding and unfolding, and again it has come to great prominence in today's often complex and complicated world of logic and "reality"!

So if you are ready for it, just prepare to really keep an open mind. Literally!!!
Behold, that you may find that it may not really be such a "secret" after-all, just that you have never thought of it that way!

Let the greatest of the greats tell you first! Their words of wisdom or gems as I call them may truly enlighten your way!

I hope that after reading these "Gems of Wisdom", you may do something to apply them to your own lives as you choose and as you define them in your own terms!

A word to the wise is sufficient!

The Supreme Secret!
(Think first on these things!)

 

 

"As a man thinks ... So is he."  The Holy Bible Proverbs 23: 7

"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make our world.
The mind is everything. What we think, we become. All that we are is the result of what we have thought. What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow. Our life is the creation of our mind.
We are formed and molded by our thoughts. We become what we think."    Buddha

"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes."    Mahatma Gandi

"A man is literally what he thinks. All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his thoughts. Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him. You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you are tomorrow where your thoughts take you. Cause and effect are as absolute and undeviating in the realm of thought as in the world of visible and material things. Mind is the master weaver, both of the interior garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance."   James Allen 
(As a Man Thinketh)

"Thought is energy. A thought produces the thing that is imaged by that thought. No thought of form can be impressed upon Original Substance without causing the creation of the form. All the forms that you fashion with your hands must first exist in your thought. You cannot shape a thing until you have thought that thing.
There is a Thinking Stuff from which all things are made, which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought is this substance produces the thing that is imaged by that thought. You can form things in your thoughts and by impressing your thoughts upon Formless Substance can cause the thing you think about to be created."   Wallace D. Wattles

"Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it."    Ernest Holmes

Your environment and financial conditions are the perfect reflection of your habitual thinking."     Dr. Joseph Murphy 
(The Power of Your Subconscious Mind)

"The direction of your life and everything that happens to you is determined by the way you think. Successful people tend to become more successful because they are always thinking about their successes. You are the architect of your own destiny.

"Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through my conscious thoughts. More than anything else, I believe it's our decisions, not the conditions of our lives that determine our destiny.
Whatever we think and focus on determines how we feel. The truth of the matter is that there's nothing you can't accomplish if: (1) You clearly decide what it is that you're absolutely committed to achieving. (2) You're willing to take massive action, (3) You notice what's working or not and (4) You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along the way."   Anthony Robbins

"Emotions are the most powerful forces inside us. Under the power of emotions, human beings can perform the most heroic (as well as barbaric) acts. Emotions are fuel and the mind is the pilot, which together propel the ship of civilized progress. Desire comes from the inside, not the outside, and it can be triggered by outside forces."
Jim Rohn

"You have within you an awesome power that most of us have never been taught to us. That power is called visualization. The daily practice of visualizing your dreams as already completed can rapidly accelerate your achievement of those dreams.

Happiness is something that you are, and it comes from the way you think.
I think and that is all that I am. It is through your thoughts that all creative energy is attracted to you.  
 Everything you need you already have. Your completeness must be experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality."    Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

"The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence you life by 30 to 50 years. The physical world, including our bodies, is a response of the observer. We create our bodies, as we create our experience of our world."   Dr. Deepak Chopra (MD)

"Concentrated thoughts produces desired results. 
You've got to be, before you can do, and do before you can have.
Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude."

Thought is the only reality; conditions are but the outright manifestation of thought. As thought changes, all conditions must change in order to be in harmony with their creator which is thought."  Venice Bloodworth 
(Key to Yourself)

"What man images and thinks, sooner or later externalizes in his affairs. If one asks for success and prepares for failure, he will get the situation he has prepared for."   Florence Scovel-Shinn  
(The Game of Life and How to Play It)

Instead of asking whether the way you are living, behaving, and thinking is "right", I want you to ask if the way you are living, behaving, and thinking is working or not working."   Dr. Phil McGraw

"Your subconscious mind is like a genie, --- your wish is my command. It creates what you think about. Thoughts are powerful."   James Ray

My Take On All This!


I wish to acknowledge now, (my own personal belief)  my own Source, The Almighty Lord and God for He makes it all possible, all that He enriches and empowers us to attract to ourselves all what already He has created, ---- through the wonderful powers of the mind and the law of thought and the law of attraction. (Many names, titles, and descriptions have been given to this "Ultimate Creative Power", that I choose to call God, Father, or Lord!)  Thanks for allowing this!

It is said that it is through Him, and in Him that we move and have our being!

Using the Secret
Define and Choose for Yourselves

 

Now you know the "Secret"! The basics, the foundations and the essence of life!

It has been said that "knowledge is power".  I'd rather believe that it  is more "the application of knowledge is real power".

The next step is up to you, as you choose and define it and as you think for yourself. Dare to ponder and think on these words of the wise. Fortune favors the bold. Know that whatever you assume and think to be true, will become real to you.

These gems of wisdom are but handful of this specific subject matter of some of the greatest "thinkers". There are undoubtedly so many, many more from your own favorite spiritual holy books, scientists, philosophers, authors, writers, speakers, success/prosperity coaches, gurus, and other spiritual masters and master teachers that are not listed here. But hopefully there is more than enough here for the wise.

It has always been said that one's accomplishments, achievements and success in life goes not always to the better, stronger, or faster woman or man, but that sooner or later, the ones who win in life are truly the ones who think they can. I hope you contemplate this further and not put a limit on yourself and your thinking.

Thinking, --- our thoughts, our desires, our beliefs, our emotions and feelings, our imaginations, our expectations are really the foundations of all that we are. "Beliefs are the basis of all action. and this being so, the belief that dominates the heart or mind is shown in the life", as stated by James Allen.

How strong our desires, believes and expectancies, especially in alignment with each other and in reinforcement of each and all of them have made the razor edge difference in some of the world's greatest achievements and accomplishments.

You probably will never give 100 per cent of your abilities to something that you don't believe. And you will probably rarely attempt something that you do not believe possible.

But consider for a moment, one of the finest examples of the great power of belief!

You may have heard about one of the greatest achievements in recent times, the story of Roger Banister. Roger Banister was the first person in history to "break the barrier" of running a mile in under four minutes! Before his accomplishment, it was generally believed that the human body was incapable of such a feat. It was generally believed that a human body is not designed to go at such a speed. Roger Banister, who was a medical student, believed otherwise. In his own words, he said, "Fueled by my faith in my training, I will overcome all obstacles. I am brave! I am not afraid to face anyone on the track. I believe this is not a dream. It is my reality."

What happened in 1954, the year that Roger Bannister first made the "record", that thousands before him, of the world's greatest, finest, fastest athletes in the previous thousands of years of human history had not happened or done, was simply a change in the human belief system!

What is even more interesting and even "amazing" to many is that Roger's record held for only a mere 46 days! And within two years, there were nine others who run the mile in under four minutes!

There are really so many of these fabulous accomplishments, and achievements that one has to marvel at the power of the unlimited human imagination and potential and man's belief system.

One of my personal favorites is the one on the wondrous bumblebee. According to aerodynamics and aeronautics, the bumblebee is not supposed to fly. Its wingspan is structurally way too small in comparison to its body weight. The only "problem" I suppose is that someone forgot to tell that to the bumblebee, so he goes ahead and flies anyway!!!

Now I know a lot of my friends say, but we are just common ordinary people. I do know that really all of us are just that, ---- "common and ordinary". Yet, I have heard that the difference is that so many common ordinary people are simply doing "uncommon and extraordinary things" simply because they choose to do so!

So perhaps it is time to check into what really goes on in your minds and in your thinking. Check your belief systems. If certain beliefs are sustaining you, then keep them. If not, perhaps it is time to make some changes!

Again, it bears repeating, that we change our lives but changing our thoughts and changing our beliefs!  Keep what works for you! Change what doesn't!

For those friends who ask, don't our circumstances, situations, and conditions affect our lives? Certainly and absolutely! But again only as we allow them, accept them and believe in them. Thus, it is back to our thoughts, beliefs and thinking.

What happens to us is not as important, as how we respond, act, or react to what happens to us. We still choose ultimately our thoughts and our feelings, the state of mind, our mental attitudes that we want and desire.

For instance, we can honestly choose to be happy about anything whether an event, situation, condition or circumstance initially indicate otherwise. We may at the onset initially feel a letdown and be sad over whatever has happened, but we can truly choose to continue to be sad or, change our thinking and choose to let go and choose to think happy thoughts instead, and see the positive side of things, and thus alter our state of mind and feelings. It is then our focus and concentration on what we choose that determines our results and outcomes. Thus, we should pay more attention to our thoughts, what we think and dwell on, and our feelings. It may not initially be "easy" but we must if we do want to have more control of our own lives.

So ultimately, it is then up to us with the choices that we make. We do have the power to make the change, whether it may take us a bit longer to make it happen.

What is your choice, what is your desire, what is your belief? What do you want?

For some it will mean getting out of our comfort zones and giving it your commitment and your all! For others, it will mean status quo, for it is easier for many to go on with their lives as they are, rather than doing something to make changes for the better.

Overall then, we are ultimately individually responsible for our lives. We have the "power", the choices to choose and define our own conditions, our situations, and our circumstances.

Insanity has been newly defined as "doing the same things over and over again, and expecting different results"!

Here then are some empowering thoughts from Jim Rohn.  "If you keep doing the same things you've always done, you will keep getting the same things you've always got. To have more than you've got, become more that you are"

You now have the secret and the key to yourself!

www.gettrulyrich.com



Remember, when we look for the best in anyone and in anything in life, we find the best. When we look for the worse, we find the worse. And when we look for the best in others, we find the best in ourselves.

The Good Lord gave us two ends, ---- one for sitting and one for thinking. Our joys, health, wealth, peace, happiness and success or anything else we choose, depend on which end we choose and use! (lol! Smile with this one!)

So to the wise, it is a good thing to be vigilant and watchful with what we think. Pay attention to your thoughts and your thinking.  For whatever we continually, habitually, and predominantly think about the most will come into our lives.

As Abraham-Hicks would say, "you will get and attract into you life whatever you think. Whether it is what you want, or what you do not want. Whether it is what you are wanting or the lack of what you are wanting." Your thinking makes it so!

So as you think, so shall you be, do or have.

So my friends, from my personal standpoint, do think, focus, concentrate and believe anything that you personally choose, desire and define for yourself. You really do choose what is right for you. And if you don't choose, which is still a choice in itself, someone else, or something else will "choose" it for you! Just know that if you think you're right, you're right, and if you think you're wrong, you're right!

 And from my viewpoint, if you are going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big! And really do think on what you truly, honestly really want!  It is just as easy to think small or little as it is to think big! Yet it is all a choice, your choice!

So if you now know that you can have anything that you can think and believe for yourself, the only "question" then that remains is, can you think it and really, truly, honestly believe it! It is all up to you!

Finally, according to Robert Kiyosaki of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" fame, ---- "the poor, the unsuccessful, the unhappy, the unhealthy are the ones who use the word "tomorrow" the most". And Napoleon Hill,  the famous author of "Think and Grow Rich" says, ---- "Don't wait. The time will never be just right".

I say then that whatever you choose and define for yourselves, ---- Do it now! Do it today! Your point of power is the present moment,  the present time! Now! Your present is your "present"!

The results of our lives are the results of our thoughts. We only get out of life what we put into our thinking.

And for my much younger friends, I love Barney when he says, --- "it's amazing what our imaginations can do."  (This dino knows how to think!)

 Make it happen! Fortune favors the bold! What is, was, what was, is, what will be, is up to me. So now it's up to you!

Remember the three kinds of people in the world.
Those who make things happen,
Those who watch things happen,
And those who don't know and wonder what in heavens is happening! (or what in heavens just happened!)

Be the ones who make things happen!

And I hope you keep an open mind. For it is said that our minds are like parachutes or umbrellas. They work much better when they are opened!

Now you know the "Secret"! The Law of Attraction! The Law of Thought! The Law of Compensation! The Law of Sowing and Reaping! The Law of Giving and Receiving!  And you may know it by other names!

 From here it's up to you! And it's been said that "knowledge is power". But again, I believe that "application of knowledge is the real power". Only when we apply something that we know that its value becomes more real to us!

 So what are you waiting for? Get going and start thinking! Open your mind for success and prosperity!  ---- whatever that means to you! And dare to think and think big!
Do it now!

I truly hope you do find whatever it is in life that you are looking for. Now you know first where to start looking!

 All the best to you for the new year!
Live life and live it with joy and passion!

Thanks for tuning in!
