But what most people dont appreciate is it’s one of the immutable laws of nature that if you dont have integrity you simply cannot succeed.

I am far from a religious man in the traditional sense of the word. I dont believe in the traditional theocracy. But I do believe in heaven and hell with a difference.

I dont think you die before you get there.

They say a coward dies a thousand deaths. Its in this sense I believe in heaven and hell.

If you lie cheat and steal, other may not know it , or you might pass this off as

I dont attend organised religious activities of any kind for any reason.

You might then wonder how an atheist believes in heaven and hell!

Well , I do.

The only difference is I dont believe you ‘go there’ when you die to pay for your sins or be rewarded for your good deeds.

I believe you enter heaven or hell a lot sooner than that , in fact while you are still very much alive,  and live in this ‘place’ for many years , based on your actions and intentions in life.

It is impossible unless you have psychopathic tendencies to live happily and in peace if you conduct yourselves in a less than happy and less than peaceful way.

Lie, cheat and steal, and lets say you never get caught, truth is you at the deepest level of your soul, know this is wrong .

Why?

Because if you know right from wrong, you of all people know of  your actions and intentions ( no matter how much you try to deny this or justify your  actions).

It is this knowing that never leaves you,  and is carried with you as a heavy burden that gets heavier over time.

This weight will wear you down, emotionally, spiritually and over time make your life anything but what it could/should be.

This answer could be complex but its actually quite simple really….

Most people become disappointed and disillusioned because they take on the dreams of others. They see and want what others have got,  and are rarely inward focused.

In other words, they are looking at life the wrong way!!!

Its no wonder they can never achieve their dreams.

How can you dream of becoming a world class super model, if you simply dont have the height or looks.?

You can’t, but you can look inwards at your own strengths and natural assets and become for example a world class teacher , or world class designer or anything else you have the talent to be.

In simpler terms , what I am suggesting is that people fail to live their dream because they covet what other people have and are not grateful for what they themselves have,  and pursue the wrong dreams.

What stands between you and living your dream,  is to take  inventory of yourself and become fantastically conscious and grateful for what you have,  ….and not what you dont have!

This is a life that is worth living , and one in which you will never be disappointed.

Remember the old saying…

Rich People get what they want!

Happy people want what they have!

There’s nothing wrong with being Rich , except being Rich and Unhappy.

Yet its one of the most important questions you must ask yourself.

WHAT ARE YOU CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT?

Why?

Because whatever is predominantly in your mind,  is what you are moving towards.

In other words if you  you want to become a millionaire( or a famous singer, athlete or just a good person) … Is this,  and the steps to get there,  are what you are thinking about-truthfully?

This is the secret behind THE SECRET.

This is how the law of attraction works.

Its because you are constantly thinking about something ( good or bad) which is why it appears. There is a process that happens when you are constantly thinking about getting or being something.

This process is  ’developing mental a plan’ consciously and subconsciously . Napoleon Hill refers to this as “Infinite Intelligence”

Your brain is an incredible piece of software that can and will become incredibly resourceful if the dream and desire is there to constantly think about it. Its this persistence and desire to having something badly enough that allows us to move toward it slowly or quickly for some.

Success is not a sprint…it’s a marathon,  which is why most people don’t succeed.

They want the prize but not the work and effort to get there, and why THE SECRET eludes them. This is the real SECRET behind the SECRET.

According to James Allen in his 1902 classic ‘As a Man Thinketh” a title taken from the bible, most of us are anxious to improve our circumstances yet unwilling to improve ourselves.

Prosperity and happiness cannot happen when the old self is stuck in its old ways.
