Good Means Good (The Secret)

Most people understand how it feels to feel good or really bad but don't realize they are living with negative feelings a lot of the time. People think that feeling bad means feeling extremely negativity, such as sadness, grief, anger, or fear, and while feeling bad does include all those feelings, negative feelings come in many degrees. 

If I feel "okay" most of the time, I may think that feeling "Okay" is a positive feeling because I don't feel really bad. If I have been feeling really bad and I now feel okay then most certainly feeling okay is far better than feeling really bad.  But feeling okay most of the time is a negative  feelings, because feeling okay is not feeling good. feeling good means feeling good ! Good feelings mean I am happy , joyful, excited, enthusiastic, or passionate. When I am feeling okay, average, or I am not really feeling anything much at all, then my life will be okay average, or not much at all ! That is not a good life. Good feelings mean I feel really good, and feeling really good is what brings a really good life!

The measure of love is love without measure. 
The measure of good feelings is good feelings without measure.

When I am feeling joyful, I am giving joy, and I'll receive back joyful experiences, joyful situations, and joyful people, wherever I go. From the smallest experience of my favorite song playing on the radio to bigger experiences of receiving a pay raise - all of the circumstances I experience  are the law of attraction responding to my feeling of joy. When I am feeling irritated, I am giving irritation, and I'll receive back irritating experiences, irritating situations, and irritation of mosquito, to the bigger irritation of my car breaking down, all of these experiences are the law of attraction responding to my irritation. 

Every good feeling unites me with the force of love, because love is the source of all good feelings. Feelings of enthusiasm, excitement, and passion come from love, and when I feel any of them consistently, they give me a life  filled with enthusiastic, exciting, and passionate things. 

I can harness the power of a good feeling to the fullest by turning up its volume. To turn up the volume of a feeling, take charge of it and deliberately intensify it so I feel as good as I can. To amplify enthusiasm, revel in the feeling of enthusiasm ; milk the feeling for all that I can by feeling it intensely! When I feel passion or excitement, revel in those feelings and intensify them by feeling them as deeply as I can.  The more I amplify my good feelings, the greater the love I give, and the results I will receive back in my life will be nothing short of spectacular. 

When I am feeling any good feeling, I ca also amplify it by looking for things I love.  Before sitting down to write this blog, each day I spent several minutes amplifying my good feelings. To amplify my good feelings, I thought about all the things I love. I counted the things I love nonstop one after the other ; my family, my friends, my home sweet home, my flowers on the vast garden, the wonderful weather, beautiful colours, amazing situations, fantastic events, and good things I loved that happened during the week, month, or year. I kept listing everything I love in my mind until I felt amazing. Then I sat down to write, It's as easy as that to amplify my good feelings, and I can do it anywhere, at any time. 

My Feelings Reflect What I'm Giving

I can tell right now in the major areas of my life whether I have been giving more good feelings or more bad feelings. How I feel about each subject in my life, such as money, health, my job, and every individual relationship, is an exact reflection of what I have been giving out on each subject.

When I think about money, my feelings reflect what I am giving about money. if I feel bad when I think about money, because I don't have enough, I must receive back negative circumstances and experiences of not having enough money - because that is the negative felling I am giving. 

When I think about my job, my feelings tell me what I am giving about my job. if I feel good about my job, I must receive back positive circumstances and experiences in my job - because that is the positive feeling I am giving. When I thin about my family, my health, or any subject that is important to me, my feelings tell me what I am giving.

Be careful of my moods and feelings, for there is an unbroken connection between my feelings and my visible world. 

Life is not happening to me; life is responding to me. Life is my call ! Every area of my life in my call. I am the creator of my life. I am the writer of my life story. i am the director of my life movie. I decide what my life will be - by what I give out. 

There are infinite levels of good feelings I can feel, which means there's no end to the heights of the life I can receive. There are also many levels of bad feelings that become increasingly negative, but with bad feelings there is a bottom limit beyond which I can't endure, which forces me to choose good feelings again.

It's not a fluke or an accident that good feelings feel amazing and that bad feelings feel really bad. Love is the supreme ruling power of life, and it calls me and attracts me through my good feelings, so I will live the life I am meant to live. Love  also calls me through my bad feelings, because they tell me that I am disconnected from the positive force of life ! 

Everything Is About How I Feel

Everything .....

POINTS OF POWER (THE SECRET)

1. Love is not weak , feeble, or soft.  Love is the positive force of life! Love is the cause of everything positive and good.

2. Everything I want to be, do, or have comes from love.

3. The positive force of love can create anything good, increase the good things, and change anything negative in my life. 

4. Every day, in every moment, I make the choice whether to love and harness the positive force - or not. 

5. The law of attraction is the law of love, and it is the law that is operating in my life.

6. Whatever I give out in life is what I receive back in life. Give positivity, I receive back positivity ; give negativity I receive back negativity.

7. Life doesn't happen to me ; I receive everything in my life based on what I've given. 

8. Whether my thoughts and feelings are good or bad, they return as automatically and precisely as an echo. 

9. People who have great lives think and talk about what they love more than what they don't love!

10. Talk about the good news of the day. Talk about what I love.  And bring what I love to me.

11. I have an unlimited ability to think and talk about what I love, and so I have an unlimited ability to bring everything good in life to me! 

12. Love, because when I love I am using the greatest power in the universe. 

MARRIAGE

Unless marriage is built upon the rock of oneness it cannot stand; “Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one.”

The poet understood this, for unless man and wife are living the same thoughts (or living in the same thought world), they must inevitably drift apart.

Thought is a tremendous vibratory force and man is drawn to his thought creations.

For example: A man and woman married and were apparently happy. The man became successful and his tastes improved, but the wife still lived in a limited consciousness.

Whenever the man bought anything he went to the best shops and selected what he needed regardless of price.

Whenever the wife went out she haunted the Five and Ten Cent Stores.

He was living (in thought), on Fifth Avenue and her thought world was on Third Avenue.

Eventually the break and separation came.

We see this so often in the cases of rich and successful men who desert their faithful, hardworking wives later in life.

The wife must keep pace with her husband’s taste and ambitions and live in his thought world, for where a man thinketh in his heart there is he.

There is for each person his “other half’ or divine selection.

These two are one in their thought worlds. These are the two “whom God has joined together and no man shall (or can) part asunder.” “The twain shall be made one,” for in the superconscious mind of each is the same Divine Plan.

AFFIRMATION

I give thanks that the marriage made in heaven is now made manifest upon earth.

“The twain shall be made one” now and for all eternity.

Lose Weight With VIBRATIONS?

Machines like this one which vibrate your body while you stand on it or exercise on it have been touted by gyms as fat-busters. Doctors give their take on their effectiveness and warn that long-term use may lead to nerve and organ damage

Yes, vibration works to help you lose fat and weight – but only if you exercise and follow a sensible diet as well.

The vibration plate machine, which has a platform that vibrates while the person stands on it, has been making its presence felt in workout studios and even homes here.

Since one brand called Power Plate was first sold here six years ago, the number of dedicated Power Plate studios here has grown to six, while that of gyms that stock these machines has risen to 10, said its sole distributor Positive Impact.

It has also sold more than 300 such machines to individuals. Each costs between $5,000 and $23,000, depending on the size of the machine.

Health and wellness retail company Oto has also developed a machine based on whole body vibration. A spokesman said it has sold 25,000 units of the FLABeLOS, at $1,198 each, to individuals here since 2007.

The Power Plate studios combine pilates, kickboxing and core, stretch, toning and cardiovascular exercises with the vibration plate machine. Classes cost between $25 per group session and $90 for a one-to-one session. Each session typically lasts 40 to 45 minutes.

The principle behind this is something called “acceleration training”, in which you need a shorter amount of time to burn the same amount of calories.

Exercising on a vibration plate may also have positive effects on strength, stability and bone density, said doctors and Power Plate master trainer Tay Koon Hua.

This can be helpful for, say, those who have been injured. Exercise on the vibration plate is low-impact and lets them build up their injured muscles or joints, they added.

So far, at least two recent studies have shown that it does lead to increased fat loss.

But there are caveats. Furthermore, no long-term studies on the safety of whole body vibration exercise beyond eight months have been done yet.

BUILDING MUSCLE MASS

Medical and physiotherapy experts interviewed said standing on a vibration plate subjects the body to many small vibrations per second.

This causes the small muscles in the whole body to contract more and the tendons and ligaments to stretch more than when a person is standing on stable ground. This is because the body has to adjust constantly to the motion.

This helps build up muscle mass, strength and flexibility, said the medical experts.

Muscle cells burn more calories than other cells because they are responsible for all movements, including subtle ones such as blinking.

So the increased muscle mass will help the body to burn more calories, leading to the loss of fat.

Dr Daniel Wai, director of the obesity and metabolic unit at Singapore General Hospital, said: “The actual amount of calories burnt after one hour of such exercise (on a vibrating plate) is only around 100calories, but as muscles are built up, it helps increase the amount of energy we burn in the resting state.”

Dr Roger Tian, consultant sports physician and deputy medical director at the Singapore Sports Medicine Centre, said exercising on an unstable platform, such as the vibration plate, increases muscle use as the body tries to maintain stability.

This additional muscle use increases expenditure of calories.

Mr Tay, 39, a former physical education teacher who owns a dedicated Power Plate studio and has shares in Positive Impact, said the machine will increase exercise intensity in two ways.

It helps the body to use more than 90 per cent of its muscles. It also increases the gravitational force by two to six times when a person works out on it. Hence, it will be more difficult for a person to perform exercises on the plate than on the ground.

He said: “As more energy is needed to perform the same exercise, more calories are burnt on the vibrating plate.”

For these reasons, more body fat is lost when whole body vibration training is added to a diet or exercise regimen than either programme on its own or together, two studies have shown.

Both studies – one in Belgium and the other in the United States – were done by doctors and published in peer-reviewed journals.

In the Belgian study on 79 overweight patients published last year, doctors looked at the effect of long-term whole body vibration training on visceral fat.

Visceral fat is the fat surrounding the organs in the abdomen. Abdominal fat is made up of visceral fat and subcutaneous fat, which lies between the skin and the abdominal wall.

The patients were randomly divided into four groups. The first group received a low-calorie diet only, the second dieted and did traditional fitness training, including cardiovascular and weight exercises, the third dieted and followed a progressive Power Plate machine training programme, while the fourth was the control group.

After six months, the group which dieted and followed a Power Plate fitness regimen showed the largest percentage drop in body weight and in visceral fat.

Those in the diet and traditional fitness groups showed a slightly smaller decrease in both measurements, while the control group had no significant change.

In measurements taken at the end of the year-long study, after all participants had returned to their usual lifestyle, the group which exercised on the Power Plate machines was found to have maintained the amount of fat loss. However, the diet and fitness groups had reverted to their initial fat level.

The results were similar in the US study on 55 post-menopausal women, published in 2009. It compared the effects of no exercise, resistance training only and resistance training with whole body vibration.

At the end of eight months, the women who did not exercise gained 1.8 per cent of body fat, while those who did only resistance training lost 1.6 per cent and those who did both types of exercise lost 3 per cent.

RISK OF INTERNAL INJURY

The same effect of burning more calories can be achieved without a vibration plate, said Dr Tian. A person can simply increase the duration or speed of his workout, he said.

Ms Loy Yijun, a senior physiotherapist at National University Hospital’s centre for obesity management and surgery, said whole body vibration therapy alone would probably not lead to weight loss.

Her view is that vibration therapy aims to elicit a similar or superior response to resistance exercises by stimulating muscle reflexes and contractions.

Even if more fat is lost, a person’s cardiovascular fitness may not be significantly improved.

The limitation primarily arises from the lack of a cardiovascular workout, which is essential to burning calories, she said.

Moreover, it is important to realise that vibration plate exercise may result in potential harmful effects, doctors said.

Adjunct Associate Professor Hee Hwan Tak, an orthopaedic surgeon at Singapore Medical Group, said: “This exercise should be done with caution in the elderly or those with balance issues, for fear of falls.”

Soft tissues and body organs could be harmed by long-term vibration. For example, workers using vibration tools such as road drills can suffer from nerve damage to the hands due to chronic vibration. This is called “vibration white finger” disease.

It is not known if long-term use of vibration plate machines will create similar problems.

Dr Wai said: “We do not have studies that last longer than eight months, so do keep in mind that long-term safety is unclear.”


Evaluation of Human Response under
Vibration Condition
Hon Keung Yau, Bing Lam Luk, Sum Sang Chan

Abstract - The purpose of this study is to
investigate the human response under different
vibration frequencies. A total of nine
frequencies (1.6, 2.0, 2.5, 3.15, 4.0, 5.0, 6.3, 8.0
and 10.0Hz) were chosen as stimuli for testing in
the experiment. In this experiment, two tests
were conducted: Comparative Test and Feet Supporting
Test. Ten males and ten females were invited to
participate in the experiment. The major
findings revealed that (i) the uncomfortable
feeling increases with an increase of vibration
frequency, (ii) the feet support does have better
influence to the feeling of comfort for females
than males.

I. INTRODUCTION
In Hong Kong, most people take the public
transport to various destinations like schools and
offices every day. Common vibrations we can
experience come mainly from the uneven road,
changing of speed, sound produced when a sudden
stop of the bus and train, etc, and these vibrations
can cause damages to us. Different vibrations can
cause different levels of uncomfortable feeling on
males and females. Some past studies have
investigated how vibration affected working
efficiency, safety and health [5]. However, few
studies investigated the gender differences, if any,
in the human response under different vibration
frequencies. Therefore, we fill this research gap in
this study.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW
Vibration interferes with people’s working
efficiency, safety and health [5]. It also causes
discomfort, fatigue and physical pain [3]. Our
health are affected if the strength of vibration is
too large or the duration of vibration is too long
[1]. Past research results showed that feeling of
discomfort increases when the frequency increases
[8]. 5Hz is the resonance frequency for whole-body vibration.
It was also shown that the spine, inner organs and muscle are in
resonance when vibration frequency reaches 8Hz [6], [7]. The
feeling of discomfort increases even higher when more than one
organ of our body are in resonance. The thigh’s stiffness

can only affect little on the feeling of discomfort during vibration [7] while the tensed posture can increase
our stiffness and decrease the feeling of discomfort [4]. In
addition, the posture of tensed upper body
increases the stiffness of body so as to
increase the resonance frequency [2]. Due to
the resonance of spine and inner organs, the
uncomfortable index increases rapidly [6].
Besides, the uncomfortable feeling is much
worse than the relax pose or even cause
damage to our back if the vibration strength
reaches the resonance frequency [3].
III. RESEARCH METHOD
A. Participants
Twenty people (10 males and 10 females)
were invited to participate in the experiment.
They were of average age 21.95 years,
168.1cm tall and 59.1kg weight.
B. Design of experiment
To acquire the data, the following two tests were
conducted:
(i) Comparative test
(ii) Feet supporting test
(i) Comparative Test
 Method of magnitude estimation
1. To take the stimulus of 5Hz as a reference
2. Try other stimuli
3. Give an uncomfortable index comparing with the
reference stimulus
(ii)Feet Supporting Test
 Method of magnitude estimation
1. Try stimulus without feet support/upper body
relax as a reference stimulus
2. Try the same stimulus with feet support/ upper
body tensed
3. Give uncomfortable index comparing to the
reference stimulus
C. Experiment procedure
For the comparative test, participants were
tested under different vibration frequencies to
analyse discomfort effect at different frequencies.
If the test did not mention about the posture, then
the posture was assumed as upper body relax
without feet support. As many literatures pointed
out that 5Hz was the first starting resonance
frequency, a comparative test referencing at 5Hz
was carried out. Firstly, the participants were
asked to take a stimulus of 5Hz for 4 seconds and a
random selected frequency for another 4 seconds.
After the testing of the two stimuli, participants
were asked to fill in an uncomfortable index survey
as 100 was the mark for 5Hz. For example, if the
participant felt that the selected frequency caused
half uncomfortable feeling compared to that at 5Hz,
then he/she should fill in 50. If they think the
uncomfortable feeling is twice, they should fill in
200. Through the test, we could see whether there
were any differences between the male and
female’s responses at the same vibration level.
For the feet supporting test, participants were
exposed under all vibration frequencies with feet
support for 30 seconds. After that, they were asked
to fill in the uncomfortable index survey.
The test and frequency sequence was
randomized and counterbalanced across trials but
each pair of males and females was under the same
sequence for the analysis of difference in males
and females.

IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

(a) Comparative test

Table I: Results of Comparative test
Frequency Index combination

Index male

Index female

1.6Hz 32.25 43 21.5
2.0Hz 39 48 30
2.5Hz 42.75 52 33.5
3.15Hz 62.5 70 55
4Hz 80 82.5 77.5
6.3Hz 117.25 119 115.5
8Hz 144.5 144 145
10Hz 184.5 183 186 

From the Table I, the correlation between
uncomfortable index and frequency for male
and female participants are 0.999 and 0.998,
respectively. Feeling of discomfort basically
increased when the frequency increased. This
finding is consistent with the results of Subashi
et al. [8]. Feelings of both males and females were similar
after the resonance frequency 5Hz. The feeling of
discomfort started to increase obviously at 5Hz. That
may be due to the appearance of resonance since 5Hz
which was mentioned by many researchers as the
resonance frequency for whole-body vibration [6], [7]. As
the resonance frequency will make participants feel more
uncomfortable than other frequencies, the feeling may
become similar for both males and females. There is a
large difference for the response of male respondents than
females for all frequencies except 10Hz. Besides, the
difference between males and females in response became
smaller after 5Hz, we can estimate that the vibration
strength may be too large to make both male and female
feel very uncomfortable, so that the response of males and
females are similar after 5Hz. Therefore, it can be
concluded that the resonance made the response in males
and females become similar after 5Hz. At 8Hz and 10Hz,
the uncomfortable feeling increased rapidly, the
uncomfortable index for 10Hz was almost twice of 5Hz.
That may be due to the resonance of our organs. The spine,
inner organs and muscle was in resonance when the
frequency reached 8Hz [6]. If more than one organ of our
body were in resonance, the feeling of discomfort
increased even higher.

(b) Feet Supporting Test

Table II: Results of feet support test

Frequency Index combination

Index male

Index female

1.6Hz 97.5 95 100
2.0Hz 96.5 98 95
2.5Hz 88.5 92 85
3.15Hz 89.25 90 88.5
4Hz 81.5 87 76
5Hz 80.75 84 77.5
6.3Hz 79 84 74
8Hz 72 82 62
10Hz 74.5 88 61

From the results (Table II), we noted that the
feet support does have better influence to the
feeling of comfort for females than males. The
correlation coefficients for males and females are
0.708 and 0.994 respectively. The uncomfortable
index keeps on decreasing when the frequency
increases up to 5Hz for females. This indicates that
the feet support can help to reduce the feeling of
discomfort. We also noted that the uncomfortable
index for females is lower at almost all frequencies
in the condition of using feet support. That may be
due to the difference in strength of buttock for
male and female. Besides, the feet support can decrease
the feeling of discomfort. As mentioned by some
researchers [7], the thigh’s stiffness will affect little
on the feeling of discomfort during vibration. Instead,
tensed posture can increase our stiffness and decrease the
feeling of uncomfortable [4]. Therefore, the difference
in response between male and female becomes
more obvious after 5Hz. Also, the variation of
uncomfortable index at the same frequency is quite
similar for both male and female as shown from the
table 2. The difference in response between males
and females become most significant at 8Hz and
10Hz. The figure shows a significant difference
between male and female at 8Hz and 10Hz. The
uncomfortable index keeps on decreasing but rising
at 10Hz for males, it may be due to the resonance
in organs as mentioned from the comparative test
[6]. But the feet support test is not suitable for all
people as some participants claimed that the feet
support will make them feel more uncomfortable at
some frequencies.

V. CONCLUSION
A series of human factors experiments
concerning the human response under different
vibration conditions was conducted in this study. It
was concluded that the uncomfortable feeling
increased with the increase of vibration frequency.
The difference in response for males and females is 
not significant after 5Hz. Also, the feet
support was more useful for females than
males. It seemed that feet support provided
more help to females than males especially at
8Hz and 10Hz. It may be due to the difference
in strength of buttock because the feet support
increased the loading of the buttock.

DONALD TRUMP ENCOURAGES YOU to 
"Think BIG." Everyone should. I know I do. So 
should you. I've had many dreams along my 
journey. During the early years I stood in the way 
of those dreams. It wasn't just my old beliefs that 
stood in my way - it was also my attitude. It was 
me against the world! I could do anything. I was 
Mister Macho. 

Back when I was struggling in Houston,I became
determined to be a published author. I could do it
 - I knew I could - and I could do it myself. I 
didn't need anyone's approval or help. I was the 
captain of my own ship - just the way I wanted it 
- just as I had learned from authors like Jack 
London and Ernest Hemingway. I thought of 
myself as the Lone Ranger. All I needed was a 
horse and a pair of six shooters, and I was good 
to go. But I didn't realize that this attitude was 
preventing me from achieving my goals. 

Something eye-opening happened one day. I 
heard the term 'Lone Ranger Syndrome' at a 
networking seminar, presented by Donna Fisher 
and Sandy Vilas. They pointed out that I was just 
one person and if I continued with the attitude 
that I could do everything myself, then I wasn't 
going to accomplish much. I had always felt that 
asking for help was a sign of weakness. But 
Donna asked, "When somebody asks you for 
help, how do you feel?" 

I admitted that I like being asked for help. I enjoy
helping others. It makes me feel good and even 
honored, that they would think I could help them
with their problems. When I didn't ask others for
help, I was denying those feelings and preventing
others the opportunity to feel good. From that 
day on, I started asking for help. This is the

{Step 4: Ask For Help} 


fourth step to attracting money into your life: 
you must ask for help. 

Ask anyone who is in a position to help you. 
When you think about asking for help to reach 
your goals, there are two levels to asking. 

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE 

The first level of asking is spiritual. In time, I 
got off the street and was no longer living in 
poverty. But I was still dealing with a mountain 
of bills. Your problems don't disappear instantly 
just because you decide to think differently. It 
takes work and patience. I was making progress. 
I was still struggling to keep my household 
afloat. Those were tough times and we've all 
been there. 

I remember having a huge stack of bills sitting 
on my bedroom desk. I would lie in bed, see the 
bills and cringe. I had no way to pay them. I kept 
them stacked in the order they were due. Maybe 
you do this too. It makes you feel like you're 
doing something, even though you cannot pay 
them. I would lie in bed wondering, "What am I 
going to do?" I believed I had no options with 
nowhere to turn. So I did the only thing I could 
- I prayed. 

I asked God for help. It makes no difference 
what your beliefs are - praying to a higher power
helps tremendously. You can ask the Divine,God 
or Spirit for help. I told the Divine, "I can't do 
this. I can't pull it off.I don't see what I'm missing, 
I don't see the opportunities. I don't see where I'm
going to earn, receive or attract any money. 
Please help me." 

Asking for help accomplishes two things. First, it 
opens the pathway to receive. You're telling the 
universe that you're ready and open to new 
opportunities, as well as accepting help to meet 
your goals. Prior to praying, I wanted to do every
-thing myself, so I wasn't open to receiving or 
identifying any possible opportunities. My mind 
and heart were closed. 

Asking for help also allows you to release some 
of your stress. I know when I ask the Divine for 
help, it frees my mind to go on with what I need 
to do rather than obsessing or focusing on the 
same old problem. It lowered my stress. I know 
that once I started asking for help, I didn't spend
nearly as many sleepless nights staring at that
pile of bills. I could finally sleep because I 
believed that I was going to receive help - and I 
did. 

The idea is to ask for help from a higher source.

inspired action on the ideas you receive and the 
opportunities that come your way. Ask and act. 

Decide how you want to approach the Divine. It's
important that you make this connection and allow
the Divine to help you. You must ask over and 
over in a way that's spiritually correct for you. 
This force can see the big picture - your ego can't.
When I was struggling, my ego was standing in 
the way and I had to ask for help to move forward. 
Because my mind refused to see the path, I had no
idea there were so many different ways I could
attract money. I missed out. Now money flows to
and through me from so many unexpected 
avenues that I can't even keep up with them all. 
I'm constantly surprised and thrilled when a new 
flow of money appears in my life. This is all due
to the fact that I continue to ask. 

I always make time to ask. It's easy to forget or 
let it go. I like to spend time in my hot tub each 
night. This is my gratitude time. It's when I 
communicate with the universe and say things 
like, "I'm working on this particular problem and
I don't know how to resolve it." 

I ask for help and guidance so I can get on the
right path. This type of asking also comes with
responsibility. When I am shown the way, I get 
on that path and take action. This was one of the
holdups for me early in the game. I had my mind
focused on the idea that I could only receive 
money from certain places. When other sources 
showed up, I was reluctant to act and missed out.
I'm stubborn, but I learned that following my gut 
feelings or intuition is always the right move. If I 
get the feeling to call a particular person, buy a 
certain book, blog about an unusual subject, I do 
it right away, without questioning why. 

MASTERMINDING TO SUCCESS 

The second level is to ask other people for help.
I'm not the best at this and don't always ask for 
help when I should. I will often wait until I'm 
backed into a corner and then ask. If I'd just asked
in the first place, things would go much smoother. 
This is one of the reasons I founded the JoeVitale's 
Miracles Coaching Program and the Hypnotic 
Marketing Coaching Program. All of us need 
help. Everyone from the person struggling to get 
off the streets to the top CEOs running billion 
dollar companies, needs good advice and needs 
help. 

When you receive help from another person, you 
both benefit from the positive flow of energy and
the combined force of your wills.When you have
at least two people or more who get together to 
discuss

{Step 4: Ask For Help} 


an issue or possible options, you get a wonderful 
mixture of ideas and encouragement. Far more 
than you would ever expect. This is because each 
of us has limitations. As a group we ask each 
other, as well as the Divine for help. This 
produces much more energy than you could ever 
generate by yourself. 

I strongly encourage everyone to be in a master-
mind group. This is a group of people, acting as 
a support team, who are like-minded and willing
to help each other. Ideally the group will have 
six or fewer people in order to be most effective.
Each person talks about their goals and the issues
they've encountered. The ideas and options flow 
from all of the group members. 

Mastermind groups are nothing new and have 
been popular since Napoleon Hill defined them 
in the book, Think and Grow Rich.These groups 
were key to some of the world's most successful
business people and they still are today. Bill 
Hibbler and I wrote a whole book about 
"Masterminding" called Meet and Grow Rich . 
The idea of this type of group can be seen 
everywhere, from the presidential cabinet 
to corporate boards of directors. These groups 
come together to offer ideas to each other for
running complex businesses or even nations. 
Every one of us can benefit from this type of 
support group. 

I find it valuable to talk to people with similar 
experiences. If you've decided to start a business, 
it's wonderful to talk to experienced people. 
Learning about their successes and failures can 
shorten your learning curve and prevent you from 
making costly mistakes. 

Having several people with varied backgrounds 
in your mastermind group is important because 
they have differing perspectives and viewpoints. 
They'll also be able to help you see things from 
new angles and understand certain issues that you
may not have thought of yet. They can enhance 
your goals and objectives by bringing additional 
connections and resources to you that'll expand 
your business. 

Let's say you want to generate media attention for
your new business. One of the people in your 
group may have experience or contacts in the 
media that will provide an 'in.' This will help you
get the coverage you want. It always amazes me 
how small the world really is. There have been 
many times while I've been attending mastermind
meetings and a great idea would come up. And 
sure enough, someone in the group knew 
someone who knew someone who could help 
make it happen. 

One of the benefits is the accountability and 
inspiration you'll receive. If I'm in a mastermind
group and tell people that one of my 



www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com 67

goals is to have my own infomercial, I know that 
they're going to ask about my progress. This will 
motivate me to take action and get things moving. 

For example, years ago I went into my master-
mind group at the time and announced, "I intend 
to be in a movie." I had no acting experience nor 
any contacts. My group could have laughed and 
ridiculed my wild notion. Instead, they supported
me. They simply held the same intention as me: 
for me to be in a movie. As a result, six months 
later I was asked to be in the movie, The Secret .
The rest, as they say, is history. 

I'm not saying you'll end up in a movie by being
in a mastermind (you might). I am saying they 
are powerful tools for helping you attract money 
and achieve goals. 

Creating this type of group is easy. In fact you may
already have a loose association of people that 
would be interested in forming this type of group. 
Treat each member like they're part of your own 
board of directors. You don't want just anyone in 
your group. You want those people who have 
backgrounds that match what you're working on. 
For example, if you want to own a restaurant, 
your group may be made up of another restaurant
owner, accountant, banker, lawyer, insurance 
agent or even a food wholesaler. These contacts 
can offer a wide range of advice and help that 
will prove extremely valuable to you. 

One word of caution: do not automatically 
include your friends and family unless they're 
going into business with you. Even then you 
must be cautious. It's a natural tendency to 
include those you love, but you must realize that 
they'll be operating from their own belief systems
- many of the same beliefs you are trying to move
past. My family is still shocked that I've done so 
well. It seems to confuse them as they only see 
me as their brother, uncle, or son, rather than as a
marketer or businessman. While family and 
friends usually mean well, it's rare they would 
have the skills needed to push you along in your
quest for success. 

To create a mastermind group dedicated to your
success, you need to reach out to your current 
network. Remember that everyone knows some-
one who knows the right person. So let them 
know that you are asking for their help as an 
advisor and part of your mastermind team. You
will be surprised at how willing people are to 
help when asked. They feel honored. And you're 
offering them the opportunity to participate in 
something that makes them feel good. They are 
helping themselves while they are helping you.

{ Step 4: Ask For Help }



They may participate by phone or in an informal 
setting. They may be all together or one-on-one. 
Do whatever works for you. You can even set up 
discussions by email so everyone stays in the 
loop. With modern technology it's much easier 
to reach out to those who aren't even in your 
geographical area. Some of my best advisors are 
international and we can easily communicate 
from anywhere around the world.

THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS 

You will find that people will come and go, 
while others touch your life each day. Everyone 
has something to offer. I've stayed in touch with 
people through my blog. I get tons of support and
encouragement through this one channel alone. 
I'm able to help people like little Kirk, as well as 
others. I receive money, gifts and great 
opportunities because I'm willing to put myself 
out there and let people get to know me. 

I have to admit it was a little strange having 
people I did not know come up and talk to me as
if they knew me. They got to know me from read
-ing my blog. It was hard for me to get used to, 
but before long, I recognized the power that this
offered. 

It's been difficult for me in the past to open up to 
anyone. This is why I still sometimes find it hard 
to ask for help.I know many other people struggle 
with this same issue.What I've gained by allowing 
people into my life has far outweighed any 
uncertainty or reservations I once had. Having 
said that, I still try hard to remember that there are 
specific actions I can take to enhance all my 
relationships. 

The easiest part is to find out how I can help 
them. People fascinate me. I'm curious as to how 
they think and what makes them tick. Just like 
the conversation I had with my brother, when I 
encounter a new person, I want to know what 
their goals are, what they dream about and how
I can help. Now they can either take my advice 
or not, but I'm there to help - which opens me to
receive help from them as well. It is a constant
flow back and forth. 

This type of give-and-take means you must have
a generous heart. You must be willing to give 
yourself and your ideas to others. I have known
many people who refused to offer ideas because
they were afraid their ideas would be "stolen." 
I can tell you that there are no new ideas. The 
universe will give someone else the same idea 
if you don't act on it. I can also say from 
experience that when you 



www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com  69

help someone succeed, they'll go way out of their 
way to help you in return. This has happened 
repeatedly to me. 

One of the mistakes I made was to let people 
flow in and out of my life without following up 
or making a real connection. I didn't follow up 
or stay in touch. I can say that it's very easy to do,
especially when you start doing well. You get 
busy. And if you don't take time to make contact
with people,you'll lose some of your momentum. 
I always remember that each person I encounter
may be the catalyst for my next big success, and 
to overlook that or cast it aside, is to waste their
gift. 

I provide value to others. But does that mean I 
am always right? NO. I'm human. And when I 
make a mistake or mess up, I'm usually the first 
one to admit it. You don't have to pretend to know
it all or pretend that everything is fine or that you
don't need help. We all need help. And by 
allowing people to know your vulnerabilities, 
it attracts knowledge and resources to you that 
you may not have had otherwise. I went for 
years thinking I had to be a mysterious, 
struggling writer, trying to make a living. I kept
to myself and didn't let people know my real 
situation. Now I'm convinced that it prolonged 
my agony for no reason. Be authentic and 
people will respond to you. 

No matter what level of success you achieve,
you will not do it by yourself. I constantly 
remind myself to be grateful for every single 
person who helps me. I say thank you at least
once a day. I know I'm just one person and 
without others, I would still be in a dark little 
room in Texas banging out my next book on an
antiquated computer. I have seen some business
people who barely even noticed those around
them who made things happen. They treated
their assistants and coworkers like dirt! I can't
imagine ever working for someone like that. I'm
sure every person who is treated in such a bad 
manner only does the minimum required when
their full effort could be such a huge benefit. I 
don't want to be one of those people. By 
expressing my gratitude everyday, I stay 
grounded and am reminded that I'm just a guy 
with a dream. If it wasn't for the kindness of 
others I'd be in big trouble. 

It takes a big person to give credit to others, but 
the positive emotion it brings is tremendous. I 
don't mean that you should offer false compli-
ments or platitudes - just point out what people
do well. There's a special feeling you get when
someone comes to you and says, "I heard such
great things about you from someone you worked 
with last year. I want to pursue the possibility of
working with you as 


70 www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com 



{ Step 4: Ask For Help }



well." That kind of comment can make my day! 
No one has to say nice things about you - 
especially when you are out of earshot.And when 
you hear something positive like this from a third 
party it makes you feel 10 feet tall. Everyone 
you work with deserves the same feeling. 

I find it easy to connect with people. This is 
even easier when you learn to laugh. Believe it or
not, I used to be a very serious person. You'd 
rarely see a smile on my face and every time I 
looked in the mirror I saw a furrowed brow. I 
thought that life was this serious life-and-death 
struggle and that I had to stay on my toes or it 
would bury me. Life comes at you whether 
you're ready or not. And if you can meet your
challenges with a smile on your face and 
laughter in your heart, then you are the kind of
person that others want to be around. You don't 
have to treat every decision as if your whole 
existence is riding on it.Not only will you benefit 
from a relaxed state of mind - but so will 
everyone around you. 

As you focus on helping everyone you come into
contact with, you will soon be reaping the 
benefits. Their knowledge and experience will lift
you to a new level. The important lesson is to 
freely give to others without the expectation of 
getting anything in return from them. The 
receiving will come naturally with these 
relationships just as it does when you give money.
Investing your time and emotion in others is a 
great investment. This will get you through 
difficult times while keeping you motivated and
inspired. 

I've read dozens of financial books and they 
always start out with do A, then do B, then do C 
and all will be right. That's crazy. It doesn't start 
with doing - it starts with being. You must get 
your thoughts and beliefs in line. Then you must
get help. If you think you can do this by yourself, 
you're setting yourself up to be disappointed. 

I have given many talks about money in the past 
few years, all over the world, and the participants 
always start with "How? How do I get the 
money?" You need to understand that it has no-
thing to do with dollars and cents and everything 
to do with just getting into the flow. That won't 
happen if you run around chasing a dollar. Until 
you really understand and get that fact, you will
never attract money. 

There are many people who might try to tell you 
how to attract more money who haven't been 
where you are, but I've been at the bottom. I 
wasn't born into money and I didn't win the 
lottery. In fact for a large portion of my life, I did
everything wrong trying to chase money and it 
didn't work. So don't think I'm telling you things
that I haven't tried. I know for a fact what I'm 
telling you works, because

I've made every mistake along the path that could 
be made. When I finally understood these 
principles, I was able to overcome and so will 
you. All I can say is that if you already had the 
answer, you'd be a millionaire right now. So why
not try something different that might get you 
there? You can't be any worse off for trying. 
What if it actually works for you, just like it did 
for me? 

Remember, the fourth step is to ask for help: 
from your connection to a higher power to the 
people you feel can help you move ahead. 

And now on to the next step.
